TABLE TALK.

New Minstrel programme to-night. Better weather coming goon. Gold-mining prospects are excellent. That " mojt distressful country." O'Brien, the Irish patriot, arrested. Where are the magnificent TipperarJ boys ? Sir William Fitzherbert returns to ths colony this week. Little minds, like weakest liquors, ard soonest soured. Sir Julius Vogel is expected to deliver an address at Wellington on Monday next. The return of Major Atkinson and M* Bryce is considered certain. There will probably be a petition to anmtf the Eastern Maori election on the ground* of bribery and corruption. Of course, if the Government havfi spent £1,000 m trying to secure the return of Wi Pere, they will make a strong effort to overthrow the election of his opponent The Supreme Court Sessions at Hokifc&j. were opened yesterday. Our victorious Auckland pugilist is fiVlifc* ing his way up North again. At Wellington last nigrht the glove fiofcfcy Murphy v. Fake, was won easily by the former in the third round. It was a very poor exhibition. Otago football team had a warm welcome on returning to Dunedin last nio-hk j Paris has 49,000 street lamps? the other French towns 190,000, total, 239,000, The Maoris say that Mr Bryce's word was the Bible, but Mr Ballance's is by-and- by. Ah, the coloured brother doubtless' knows that by the street of By-and-by one arrives at the house of Never. Hon. Mr Ballance means to visxfe Taov ranga shortly. Truro Cathedral will be opened in October by the Prince and Princess oi Wales. There is an epidemic of measles at West port. A new English Episcopal church is to ba erected in Boulogne. A chimney sweep named Woodward 13 missing at Hokitika. They should look " up the lum " for him ! Bishop Potter, of New York, has revived the office and title of deaconess. Tongariro volcano has been very active of late, and the natives fear an eruption. Shake not the credit of others in en deavouring to establish your own. To which may be added the caution— Don't accuse anybody of burning down hia house unless you can prove it Fred Smith has just had to pay £10 damages and costs to a neighbour at Dunedin for having "hinted" that said neighbour had set fire to his own house. Archdeacon Stock is recovering from his recent illness, and was to leave Wellington for the Hot Springs at Rotorua to-day. At Timaru, a man named Paul has been fined £100 for having an illicit still at Mount Misery. Miserable wretch ! Paul of old advised us to " try thespirits," but said nothingaboub manufacturing them. The Scots of the South deai-ly love " a wee drap on the sly." An illicit still has been seized by the Dunedin police on the Port Chalmers Road. The thoioughbred stallion Ugly Buck has been killed near Wellington by a priza boar. They had a fight, and the pig proved the uglier buck of the two.

His Honor, evidently through overwork, not having read the brilliant accounts in the newspapers, naturallvinquired what kind of a performance it was. Then came the imme diate response, "A HIGHLY INTELLECTUAL AND mi . MORAL SHOW." JLhat was enough. His Honor, with that prac tinal good, sound common sense for which he has become justlycelebrated, replied, " CERTAINLY YOU CAN." And there last night, in one of the Boxes, were to be seen that intelligent jury, laughing and enjoying themselves more than if they had beer trying a case of murder.
