TABLE TALK.

+. , . Unhappy Ireland ! Murder by Moonlighters. Sowing the wind and reaping the whirl wind. In. other words, sowing Coercion and reaping Crime. The Bulgarian crisis is apparently at its culmination. King Tawhiao is still at Paeroa. Not a "roar" for retrenchment — A fancy dress " bawl." Query—When a man goes to a bawl, is he expected to " shout ?" Maybe ; but no barmaids are allowed to night ; it is so highly respectable, don cherknow ! Mr Justice Gillies and Miss Gillies are PJjengers by the s.s. Wanaka from Wellington hotels are all well provided witb nre-escapes. atl6 js i J )elieved that there is still room for Mr Aldis to dispose of some of his patent escapes in Auckland. The Hokianga Land Settlement Company iormed at Christchurch is to be wound up He who receives a good turn should never torget it; he who does one should never re member it. - The new Girls' High School at Wellington (erected at a cost of some £5,000) was formally opened by the Governor yesterday The author of " that foolish petition " ia said to be an Auckland watchmaker Which suggests that he is a man who ought to bury (Waterbury) himself in shame. Even his watches are ashamed of the transaction, for it is observed that they keep their hands before their faces all the time. His " works " are decidedly faulty, and the "mainspring " of his actions is hard to fathom. Perhaps the " key " to the affair could be supplied by "Jeremiah," the mon •' key." What says Mr Monk, eh ? Sir Robert Stout is expected to take the "stump" in favour of Mr Hodge's candidature for Mount Ida, in opposition to Mr Scobie Mackenzie. It is not generally known that the Dune din Hodge is brother-in-law of the Premier, and full brother to the Auckland "quid nunc." The spring poet is not prone to admit that the most noticeable feature of his new ditty is its nudity of ideas. Mr and Mrs Geo. Muller, of the Bristol Orphanages, are on their way to Australia and New Zealand. A pearl weighing 62 grains, of the value of £800, has been found on the Ninety mile Beach, Western Australia, by George Rome. Mr F. A. Quick has purchased the s.s. Blanche, and intends placing her on the Waipa River for goods and passenger traffic. LJ _ The man killed at Manukaia, near Wel lington, on Monday, was named James Walsh, but he is otherwise quite unknown in the district. Mixed weather at Dunedin yesterday—* rain, hail, and snow felL Phrenology is making its way. During a recent divorce case at Wellington, the male respondent, who was accused of cruelty, said he had not got a temper at all—he had two charts of his head, both of which showed he had no temper. The 'Board ot Education at Greymouth will, it is feared, have to close a school on account of the want of funds. Out of nearly £19,000 of rates levied by the Dunedin City Council last year, only £26 remains uncollected, and even thia amount is likely to be recovered. Could Auckland show such a good re cord? We fear not; but the above prove 3 that Dunedin must be emerging from the "depression." At Rangiora, Canterbury, yesterday, a Volunteer was ordered to pay £4 4s Bd, value of uniform supplied him.
