AUCKLAND,, sfiZ^::-MONDAY,. MAY ' X 1887.

PRICE-ONE PENNY.

TABLE TALK.

Cor,D and raw weather. A notorious eavesdropper.—Rain. Hope we'll have less eavesdropping in future.

Mysterious fires ; incendiaries busy ! And mysterious robberies: "speolers" busy !

All tlio result of the dull times; Satan finding work for idle hands. Strange disappearance at Onehunga. Suicide is feared in that case.

A Melbourne paper states that a firm there has just received an order from Lon don for 60,000 gallons of Australian wines. '. That's good ! 'Die only Australian j" whino " we've heard of for some time are the complaints of dull times,!

The Earl of Aberdeen will return to' Auckland on Saturday. And will leave finally on Monday next. Ho and the Countess will have big audiences at their farewell meetings. A Swedish chemist has discovered that) sea water contains alcohol. If this report is credited, property at the seaside will go up in value. Wonder if this has any con nection with the expression, "Half seas' over."

Tho parcel post is to come into operation in Victoria on Ist July next. Little Johnnie, who was at Church yes terday, says that the text was -very appro priate, but somehow the parson did nofa refer to it in his .sermon. Tho text, as ito caught Jll3 ears, was, " Many are cold, bub few are frozen."

Lake Rotorna is rising rapidly, and flooda are feared there in the course of the winter.

It is rumoured that the Prince of Walea will be created Prince Regent on the cele bration of the Queen's Jubilee.

That possibly accounts for the enthusi astic reception given to the Queen and JMnce of \Vales by the Londoners the other day.

New Zealand inscribed stock has risen 10s in London.

Glad of that. The fall was a mere tem porary panic, caused by the news of the heavy deiiciency which the Colonial Treasurer had to own to in his Budget address.

Wellington doctors think that only re gistered medical practitioners should be allowed to perform vaccination.

And they're moving the Premier to geb the law altered, on the ground that "un registered " vaccinators are not competent. That's all nonsense ! One of the best) vaceinators in Auckland is not a registered medical man.

What's that insurance dispute at Welling ton ? Messrs Lan-y and Campbell, auc tioneers, who wore burnt out in the late big lire, have served a writ on an insurance company claiming the amount for which their premise* were insured (t'4,000).

And I .see the Company resist payment en the ground that the building was over insured. Wish I knew that highly-moral Company !

Captain Morris is atill in very weak health at Rotorna.

A scientist went out tho other night in a gale to sco what colour the wind was, and found it blew.

That's so ; I went out tills morning and my nose rood (rot blue 1 . Oh, "blow" ifc ! she is annoyed—Tho Victoria Cross.

Tho war scare seems to bo over again ; but some wiseacres are nob yet satisfied with the outlook.

" Mnrk my word for it," said an elderly lady tho other day, '• there's going to bo war. All these boy babies that have been coming along lately mean something." It is a remarkable fact that according to the last census, there were just 11 widows and 11 widowers in Hawera.

To make that story complete, thcro should be eleven marriages celebrated there at once.

Those respectable " larrikins " of Piemu era !

You mean those M'ell-dressed scamps who came near murdering several people by their pranks the other night. Exactly ; I hear they are not to be pun ished for their misdeed?.

That's the advantage of having got a polite education ; they all apologised most handsomely, and there's to be no more about it!

Well, I call it a black, burning shame, for "hoodlums" to escape when they aro known to have committed a serious crime. I wish wo had a Public Prosecutor here !

Bight you are ; but very few places are ripe for that wise and advanced system of prosecution.'
