TABLE TALK.

Beastly weather. Another wreck reported.' The people's amusement spoiled. All the fault of those weather prophets, Don't growl; be thankful wo have no earthquakes.

Mr Barnett'B farewell organ recital to night.

Good programme and free admission. X see ho plays one of his own compositions, boo. i

From "Pomace;" comic opera on the organ, eh ? Oh, no; ft is an "andante grazioso," which 13 moro suited to the "Kist o H Whuseles!"

Major ftopata has been called to the Legislative Council. ■ Professor Aldiss is unwell and unable to finish his labour of lore at the Free Public Library.

Sorry to hear that; but it's all humbug to say that the firing ab the rifle range -made him sick. 'i-<"., \

Of course It can't be proved " mathemati cally," but that's what he "professes." And Volunteer " practice doesn't square with his " profession," I see ! Sergeant Pratt has been going the round of the " pubs." Those wicked poKcemen ! I always said they were in league with the What are you driving at ? He was round making his annual inspection, and found, everything nice and tidy. Of course he did ; the annual Licensing Courts are near at hand, and Boniface is putting his best foot forward.

A "stirrup" for the Maoris at Rotorua. The Countess of Aberdeen after having a long " Korero ". with the natives invited them all to a " Stirrup Cut " it the hotel. Deoch an doras, in the Gaelic speech; but I didn't think the Countess would en courage the poor Maori in his love for the flowing bowl by giving them a stirrup cup. Probably "stir-about" was what was meant—a bowl of good Scotch " parritch !" Reports say " the natives were highly pleased with such a distinguished, mark of honour," so I guess it wasn t " burgoo !" Wellington Harbour Board are proposing to light the wharf by electricity. Before doing that they should see those bright Bray gas-lamps on the Auckland wharf. .

Great show of zeal for retrenchment. Mr Ormond, Mr Barron, and Mr Macarthur all moving for reduction of.Governor's and Ministers salaries.

Mr Barron further favours the reduction of the Lower House honorarium to Ll5O, and that of the Upper House to LIOO.

Very good no doubt; but fine promises butter no parsnips. I won't believe in the sincerity of membez-s till they pass these proposals. •

In the meantine they are. showing no compunction,in cutting down the salaries of the smaller fry! . .

Second reading of the Women's Suffrage Bill carried.

Our legislators want an admixture of the fair sex ; but Wi Pere, a Maori member, says his wife will keep him at home if there are ladies in the House.

Yes ; be wae rathet_£p.ugh on the bald heads.. He said the ojd .men in particular would not be able for thefr duties, if ladies occupied seats near them. He's right; there are no fools like old fools.

Wellington Acclimatisation Society have shipped by the Hawea, for Auckland, as a present to tho Auckland society, 150 Loch Levon trout, 50 German trout, and 90

perch. ■;•■{'.' ■The Londoh Circus, now in. Auckland, is going on to Thames. I see tho Thames folks have been enjoying " Foloy'B Festivities,", as a relief from the floods. ■ .

Lots of entertainments here to-night. The Bellringers, the Circus, and entertain ments at St. Sepulchre's and St. Andrew's schoolrooms, • .

Besides the sale of work at the V.M.C.A. rooms, which.is still open.

The annual business meeting of the Auckland Band of Hope Union takes place to-night, also. ; The V.M.C. A. are getting up an excellent series of lectures and entertainments for this winter.
