PRICE—ONE PENNY.

TABLE TALK

Last two nights of "Jim the Penman." Yes ; must go and see it again. "The Mikado" opened at Christchurch last night.

Ah, we shall' have a proper treat when that company comes to Auckland. Lot of events in "musical Auckland ' last night. I never heard of any. What were they ? Rehearsal of " Britannia and her Daughters," practice of the Burns Club choir, and musical rocital of tho new opera "Pomare." Quite a galaxy. How did everything pass off? Swimmingly, but something more will come to light ere long. Affairs aro still disturbed in Bulgaria. Yes : that's the normal condition of affairs there. Queer story about the heroic Prince Alex ander, eh ? Yes; borrowed 5,000 francs from his brutal gaolers, and refuses to pay the debt. Rather a mean sort of hero. Not at all. It's a moral thing to Bpoil the Egyptians that way. Alee, stands 50 per cent, higher in my estimation than he did before Bah I I fear you are no hero wot-hipper. Fancy Alexander the Great being sued for debt.

M. Goblet, the French Premier, has euchred his political enemies. Ha ! "Pill the Goblet agais,'* &c, Bnt they say he is bound to go down soon. Inventive Auckland again ! Mr C. Wil liams, of Albert-Btreec, is patenting a new, washing fluid. Oh, that won't wash! He has had a patent washing fluid for over ho lonfr. But this is an " excelsior " affair, com pounded of spirits of ammonia. The Insurance Companies are in arms against the incendiary rat. They are rais ing the fire insurance rates by 225, p er oent.

That won't atop arson or incendiarism; A man who means to sell to the Insurance Company vill gladly pay a rise of 50 per

Just so; and honest folks who have no intention that way will probably drop their insurance policy. Another attempt on the Czar's life; at Gatschina this time."''

Poor chap I Seems not to be safe even in that isolated fortress, to which be retreats when his beloved subjects become too warm in their demonstrations of disloyalty. ~ I suppose they're oom.arding.him there. If I were he I would do as the, snakes did when St Patrick appeared, r ■ _ What did they do i ~ '.-. " Committed suicide to save- themselves from slaughter !"' Sign of hard times."' About 150 cases' against property tax defaulters in the EM. Court yesterday. And the times are growing harder, too. The Charitable Aid Board want over £7,500 for relief purposes next year, of which Auckland City Council is to contribute £3,203.

Seems' to me we had better adopt that Christchurch suggestion, and build a big poorhouse as a memorial of this happy Year of Jubilee I , ~

Bless you, no ! That would be advertising our poverty. What is wanted by some one here is an observatory or something equally useless and ornamental.

.Ah ! I observe a Tory bias in that pro posal. .. , . . . , , ;,, .;.- . ,

.Talking 0 f charitable aid; I nee that Garrard is going round w.lth a petition pray, ing that bis relief should not be stopped. ! Poor old fellow. They wnnt to set him to stone-breaking- he says the sight would break a heart of stone 1 ~_ jl-'m not a bit sorry for him. If he had worked more and " jawed" less during the past ten years or So, he might have been in dependent of cold charity to-day. You mean if he bad been selfish,-and neglected the interests of others. Anyway, he can't be allowed to starve. . ; ■ ■

The proprietor of the "South Canter bury Times has purchased the " Timaru Berald." ■

Hope he 11 amalgamate them into one de cent newspaper. New Zealand has too many "scrubby." papers published. :,: . 1 The Cabinet mean to disouss the question of introducing a Bill to hand over the con trol of the railways to non-political boards. High time they did something to improve the control of those abortions called rail ways. '"...

Talking of railways, Canterbury folkß are not very grateful for getting the West Coast Railway started. ...'.■.,,- So I see ; the railway guarantors are re pudiating a debt of £70, and the public will probably have to subscribe.

Mr Wilson, the Engineer in-cbief of the line, interviews the Minister of Public Works to day with reference to details in the construction of the line. :

Another railway item. : .At.'Feather.ton yesterday, a goods train ran into a trail and smashed it up, Mr Cranmer, a hotel keeper who was in the trap, being badly __.'.

Must have been very incautious to allow himself to be run into by a New Zealand tram. Express speed, fifteen miles an hour I

The direct steamers have definitely de cided to condescend to carry coastal passen gers in New Zealand. '...,, . ■Hoi Hoi Then they have abandoned that stupid intention of calling only at Wel lington in future. ■*■.•-_"-'. : - ---' h vidently. , But that was only Welling; ' ton "blow." They have fixed their coas tal fates 50 per cent, higher than those of the Union Company. That's to show their superiority I sup- ' pose f bat'l fancy the-Union CompanvV fares are quite high enough. *'.■.■», , » A^- d L th J ei _; b . atß K° od enough, too I Why, Archibald Forbes says the Wairarapa beat any thing be ever saw;! '•

Two children lost their lives in Canter bury yesterday- one by being drowned in a water-race, and the other by drinkine sulphuno acid. .', '.

Poor dears 1 There are many fatal foes to them besides those poisonous . matches, which it was proposed to abolish try Act of Parliament. '
