TABLE TALK.

, *» Lachlan McGowan's benefit to-nighfc. .-. " Dinna forget Rob Roy !" Roy's wife—" Ma Conscience I" i Electric illumination for Christmas. The Council in difficulties " between two. stools," j Lord Lyons has turned to Roman Catho licism. | What sunshine is to flowers smiles are" to humanity. The Waikato "Saurian Monster" is now on view in Auckland. Readers will remember how " the Saurian came down like a wolf "on the slaughter house ! The latest challenge—Crowther v, Vogel. Waste of time to give place to waste of money. Star Monthly Scmmaby to-morrow (Saturday). Mr David Lundon has been elected Mayor of Tauranga. Tho Chamber of Commerce is interesting itself in the beet sugar question. Upper Queen-street is not to be cut down, but kept at its present level. , Gisborne Mayoral election yesterday resulted—Tucker, 150 votes; DeLautour, 94. ; ; At Dunedin Mr R. H. Leary, the late Mayor, was defeated by Mr W. Dawson. The London " Times," in a review of the "Picturesque Atlas of Australia," says the work stands unrivalled. Spurious sovereigns in circulation in Wel lington have stamped on them the words " Don't lose your temper !" The Naval Forces Bill has passed through all its stages in the South Australian As sembly. The Naval Defences Bill passed through the committee of the New South Wales Assembly after an all-night sitting. At Dunedin, George Smith has been fined £25, or six weeks' in gaol, for playing tho three card game at the Cattle Show. The London " Times " says that weasels and stoats should be tried before M. Pasteur's method for the extermination of rabbits. It is proposed to fence in the province of Canterbury against rabbits at a first cost of £13,000, and an annual charge of £2,500. The woman Mrs Russell, who had lost her way near Hokitika, has been rescued in a very exhausted condition and is scarcely ex pected to recover. The police force in Caramul district, Victoria, has been largely strengthened on account of the action of the Unionist? shearers. A Gazette notice states that the teacher's certificate issued to Tbos. Win. Henry- Coulter, lately schoolmaster under the Education Board of Auckland,has been can celled. Mr Geo. Darrell is now acting-manager for the Triumvirate. He opened tho Theatre Royal in Melbourne two weeks ago in his own drama, " The Sunny South." Worth Canterbury Board of Education has resolved to give teachers three months' notice of the Board's inability to pay the present rates of remuneration. It is stated that a. celebrated Sydney forger, now out of gaol, is living "retired" on his " hard earned" savings. No one can begrudge him the rest, as he got it by "hard labour." The olive is said to be the most profitable tree in California, and the orange probably next, with a prospect that the fig will yet take the first place. More kangaroo legislation! Sir Julius Vogel has a patent " scheme " for regenera ting the colony and making the things go ahead by " leaps and bounds." The Wel lington papers ridicule the idea. Thus the North Canterbury Education Board:—"Payment of fees would be no economy from a national point of view ; it wouid only be introducing a far more ex pensive mode of collection, and one found to work badly in all systems of national primary education. The payment of fees by more advanced scholars only would be a most objectionable tax upon progress." A kind word for the mosquito, who will soon be sharply reminding us of his (or rather her) presence :— "It serves to purify standing water, and to a great extent, to lessen their malarial influences. Tho natural habitat of the larval mosquito is the stagnant water of miasmatic swamps. The entire food of the creature, from its birth to its maturity, is believed, to be de cayed vegetable matter." Deal gently with the mosquito ! It first of all does its level best to prevent fevers, and then ih does a little blood-letting to keep us healthy and happy !
