TABLE TALK.

Hugo's Minstrels at the Opera House. "Buffalo gals, ain't you coming out to-' night ?" Mr Garratt addresses Newton electors this evening. Mr J. A. Connell expounds "Home Rule " at the City Hall. I Mail Steamer Mariposa left San Fran-J cisco for Auckland on Friday last. A good egg is made up of ten parts1 shell, sixty parts white, and thirty parts \ yolk. A bad egg (which is more in demand just; now) is mado up of ten parts shell andi ninety parts smell ! Mr W. F. Bucklartd had a rowdy meet-' ing at Otahuhu, but nevertheless got a! vote of confidence. The rowdyism was mere goodnatured horse-play—exuberance of animal spirits.) Two fights took place, and a " chucker out "< came tei grief. Then there was, a dog-fight, and a humane inelividual in trying to separate the ■. combatants got badly bitten. • Dogs play an important part in country [ election meetings. At Avondale the other night,'whenever the meeting became noisy,1 a big mastiff got up and barked, whereuponv the rowdyism subsided. Good " tactical " idea—Train a lot of old colonial (logs for election meetings in the city. The white-robed Hauhau fanatics from Hokianga are now incarcerated in Mount Eden Gaol. Yet this is supposed to be a land of liberty' anel religious toleration. Fancy sendino- a whole tribe to gaol because their religious' beliefs were peculiar ! • • Peculiar religious beliefs ! I should. smile when you call robbery and assault! anel battery by such a name. The Hauhaus I will find lots of " birds of a feather " where; they now are. j With our pretended knowledge there isl not a man living but would make a; good bargain if he could "swop" all he knows for what he doesn't know. Most people are, however, so conceited as to believe that what they don't know isn't worth knowing. The steamer Bucephalus has been chartered in Canterbury to convey three hundred horses to India. i A little child was suffocated at Grey mouth yesterday by falling down a w ater"' closet. Major Atkinson has expressed his willing ness to give a trial to Mr Vaile's system of railway reform. In return, Mr Vaile ought to give a trial j to Major Atkinson as Premier. j Take care to be an economist in pros perity ; there is no fear of your not being j one in adversity. ° Tenders are called for the re-building of the General Post and Telegraph Office at Wellington recently destroyed by fire. Only 2 per cent, of the working classes attend church in London. Before starting to fight Germany, Frenc hmen are agreeing to fight each other. Ger mans are more sensible. Thero was an old lady of Cheadlc, Who sat down in church on a needle, By luck it was threaded, So was not imbodded, I \ , And was promptly pulled out by the beadle. : Te Whetu,who has been arrested at Pari haka, is described as Te Whiti's fighting man. The Supreme Court of Kansas has de-' cidc.d that a married woman need not take her husband's name unless she chooses. The Bible is printed in 250 languages' and dialects, and there are 150,000,000 copies in circulation. A special cable message from LondoD says :—" Albert Spicer has left for New Zealand in the steamer Arawa." Who i_ Albert Spicer ? In Queen Elizabeth's time it was as vulgar not to eat a beefsteak with your fingers as it is now to eat pease with your knife. t i During the recent examinations for the legal profession at Melbourne, one of the examiners in setting his-papers based' his questions upon statutes which have long since been repealed. . . Id is estimated that 7,000 young women! earn their living as governesses in private English families with salaries at L'2o „ year. At a recent ball of the Sydney Thistle' Club there was a disturbance caused by one of the guests taking too much " whuskey." It culminated in a hideous scene as the inebriated one was thrown on the stairs, rolling and sliding head first from nearly the top to tho bottom. He was then picked up anel at once taken away, but it was some little time before the excitement subsided. ! The Auckland police have two hens at" the office for which owners are required. j It was at breakfast, and little Nellie,! who was a regular chatterbox, had scarcely ceased talking. "Nelly dear," said-her grandmamma, " you talk too much. You: don't find me talking every minute", "No, grandma; but you've lived a good' deal longer than I have, anel have hael time to get most of the talk out of you," answered Nelly. , ;
