TABLE TALK.

Political excitement reviving. Public address by Mr Shera to-night. City Fathers and theatrical licenses. Important deliberation at the City Coun cil to-night. The newly-elected members are to be

sworn in. At Bellamy's bar, of course. The " fees '• are light.

Hen- Tutschka's last concert to-night, at, the Choral Hall.

There are exactly 190 prisoners in Mt. Eden Gaol.

If the keeper of a gaol is a gaoler, why isn t the keeper of a prison a prisoner ? •

( Mr J. A. Froude made £10,000 out of his • Oceana," and yet the colonies are de pressed !

Poet Burns was a farmer, therefore the Burns Club Hall was appropriately styled1 the bothy.'' He was also a Freemason, so that the change to the Masonic Hall is also appro-! priate. The Club is getting on by "de-i grees." J , Mr W. Gisborne, who is at present re-j siding m London, is engaged in compiling-a' history of New Zealand. 1

Encourage local industry. Auckland! made woollen goods will be placed on the market next month. "Love laughs at locksmiths," and yet' there isn't anything very funny about; ai locksmith. '

That shows that " love " is easily tickled, i Iry it with your own true love, and see if it i isn't so.

Napier Jockey Club has taken a pious fit,I and means to exclude bookmakers from the course. ;

As a matter of " course," thatclub means to develop into a Y.ivLC.A. Hello, Cholly, saw you at the fancy dress kick last night; no barmaids there, eh ?

This chappie isn't so jolly green ; I'll bet an Imperial pint there was one sweet little beer-jerker there, in spite of all at tempts to keep them out."1 That will reverse the order that prevails m i an an American town, where a Jockey Club announces itself as a " successor to the V.M.C.A."

_ Monday next being the Jewish New Year, the local Jewish warehouses will be closed.

It is said of one fashionable young man that he never paid anything but a compli uient.

Dr. Macgregor is now on a visit to Auck land ; but he returns to Wellington to morrow.

That trade is bad on every hand is not aft' all surprising; so few there are who under-! stand the art of advertising. | The Government Insurance Offices ah' Auckland will be opened for the transaction: of business in the course of a few weeks. ' !

Mr Nimmo, the Victorian Minister of Public Works, is described as " the best re citer of Burns's poems in the Southern Hemisphere." :

C. E. Cornish has been fined £55 and costs at Christchurch for dealing in cigars and tobacco on which no duty had beenl paid. j

" I do not desire wealth for itself," re marked a philosopher. "No," replied.a' cynic; "I suppose you desire it for your self. "

George Williams, who was charged with criminal assault at Wellington, has been acquitted.

At the district meeting of tlie Manchester Unity of Oddfellows at Dunedin, the report submitted showed a slight increase in the number of members. The total value oi the district is set down at £44.278. The average amount per member paid for sick ness was 7s 9;_d. ;

Apropos of Mr Ewington's lecture to morrow night, a correspondent writes stating that the Vicar of Morwenstowe was; all along a Romanist at heart, and only clung to the English Church for the loaves and fishes. •

Canterbury Art Society's Black and White and Monochrome Exhibition was opened at Christchurch last night. The merit of the exhibits is superior to lasu year's.

The returns of the postal savings banks of Canada at the close of the financial year, show a sum of nearly 20,000,000d01., stand ing at the credit of over 90,000 depositors.' The amount of deposits in the savings branches of the chartered banks during the last financial year has increased by. 6,000,000d01. as compared with the returns of the previous year.

A three-year-old girl at Mount Eden was reproved for disobedience the other day. On repeating the offence the father said to the little offender," I have a strong inclina tion to spank you." Immediately the answer came back : " You can't, papa, for I'm sitting on it!" A barber is running for Christchurch North in opposition to Sir Julius Vogel.; He is not likely to be at the top of the "poll." Yet he must have " polled " many voters already, and should be best able to get to the top of the (barber's) pole ! Well, he may get in by " a close shave ;" but those present at. his meeting last night were rather (hair)cutting in their remarks, and " chaffed " him a good deal with eggs and flour!
