TABLE TALK.

Address by Sir George Grey. The Tactician at Newmarket. Buffalo Minstrels doing goo 6 business. . Sir Julius Vogel is now in Dunedin. He will give an address there on Monday next. , ■ On the same evening Major Atkinson1 speaks ;it Wellington. Scottish chiela and Highland reels at tHe City Hall to-nio-ht. •, The Welsh element should turn out for in addition to two pipers there is to be a harper. It has been blowing great guns at Wel lington for two days, but no damage to pro perty is reported. i Mr Superintendent Thomson will receive a public testimonial this week or early next prior to leaving for Wellington. A proposal is O n foot to have Auckland cab Fares reduced by 25 per cent. The- Young New Zealand Political Asso oration has been successfully launched by the. Grand Old Man and the grand Old Colonial Hand. If it sticks .faithfully to the proirammoL set before it, much good is certain to bi> accomplished. ,Mi; E' A- Mackechnie has presented to one free Public Library a copy of the novel " A Rolling Stone." by Miss Cheese man, of Auckland. " • The^ annual cost of the New -Zealand Civil Service, including school teacher*, ia L 2,247,284, or L 3 17s lOd per head of thto population, while Great Britain maintain* her civil service and army and navy besides ior LI 9s Gd per head. Who is that member of the " hupper suckles" who dropped a lovely purse ii Queen-stroot yesterday, filled with pawn tickets for beautiful dresses ? You cannot beat the army and the Church for Conservatism: witness yester day afternoon's meeting of the Grammar School Board. Johnny Sheehan used to say that hd " liked to see a good healthy public opinion even if it found expression in rotten eggs." The. other night Dan Reese experienced at a meeting at Christchurch the particular variety of public opinion that " our Johnny " loved so well. Glad to see that one Christchurch news paper has condemned the unmitigated ruffi anism displayed on that occasion. " The height of New Zealand civilisation " may still be claimed for Christchurch in art matters. The Canterbury Society of Arts has 221 members, and a credit balance of L 684. Better still. Sir Frederick Leighton has purchased fli'6 pictures from the present) Royal Academy Exhibition for the Society, at a cost of L 272. Mr R. Beetham has been re-elected President. The three Maori murderers at Guborne' have had their capital sentences commuted to penal servitude for life. A writer in the " Otago Witness" sug gests the following epitaph for Sir Georg* Grey:— Under this swelling knoll the Great Pbo« coxßur, lies';. A. kniuht san* peur, unrirall'd on the stump. When the great Doomeduy angel calli him to the skies In eloquent Sir George he'll find a trump. , The " old man eloquent" isn't dead yefcj however, and he will 6oon be "on thd stump " in the South. The Hon. John Ballance recently declared his appioval of the principle j;if electing the Governor of the colony, on the ground thafci a good Governor might be got from the' colonists for £2,000 per annum., [.'; ' . Good old riian ! The roar for retrench-] ment has apparently reached his ears. i At Dunedin, Ying^ Lee has just been fined. L3O, or six months' imprisonment, for-* smuggling cigars from the steamer.' Woosuujr. • . '' The law of nature is—Do the thing, and you shall have the power; but they.; who do not the thing have not the power.", Thus wrote Emerson, and the remark is true in every sphere of life. A boxing match has been arranged at! Dunedin between W. Murphy, feather, weight and champion, and E. Burgess, In- vercargill, for LSO. j The plucky little Aucklander, Murphy,. is " no small potatoes," and as he has beeu "doing the thing" right through the colony, it is expected that he will have the power to win that £50. The steamer Kaikoura, which arrived in Wellington a few days ago, brought a ship ment of 345 stoats and weasels. To keep: them in food there were 4,000 pigeons brought out. The shipment is for the South Island. Glad they're not coming to the North.. The rabbits are bad enough, but they are, not such pests as the '" natural enemy " of poultry, &c, would be. A lady once remarked to the elder Booth,, who had a broken nose -"I like your act--'' ing, Mr Booth ; but, to be frank with you,,' I can't get over."your nose." "No wonder,, madam," responded he ; " the bridge is gorie!" Galileo has had a monument erected to -: him opposite the palace where he was im-: prisoned in 1632 for daring to assert that! the earth went round the sun. It bears the following inscription, in Italian: "In the neighbouring palace, belonging at the time \ to the Medieis, was imprisoned Galileo, who, was guilty of having seen the earth revolve around the sun. S. P. Q. R., MDCCC, LXXXVII." "All things come round to him who! will but wait." The world was immovable" in Galileo's day, but it has now "come' round " so far as to recognise that ho spoke, the truth about it. Quite a little 'rey.bj-. lution !
