TABLE TALK.

" The Mikado " reigns. Successful production last nightf; No danger of any further hitch taking place. j " I am right, and yon are right, and all is right, too-looral-lay!" Political and Financial Reform Associa tion projected. Not without need. Hope the electors will take its advice. Yes, and return men pledged to economy and purity of administration. ; Chamber of Commerce encouraging trade . with Canada. ■ ■ ■ i A proper move; we shall soon have. direct and regular steam communication with our Canadian cousins. Meanwhile other avenues of trade should not be neglected. What about trade with; Brazil ? , Auckland merchants appear to be neg- ■ lecting that, but those of Taranaki and Canterbury are all alive. So I see. A consignment of 20 cases of apples sent to Rio in March by a Christ-: church Company has netted the shippers; Id profit per lb, after deducting all ex penses. Mr Paul Kingdom has gone to Kingdom; Come. He was an old resident of Karori,. Wellington. , A four-winged pheasant was shot in: Taranaki the other day. Mrs Young's dwelling-house at Rotorua was destroyed by fire yesterday and very little of the furniture was saved. A lady lost a valuable bracelet on View; Road, Mount Eden, on Monday night. i Free and easy practices at Greymouth. The publican's there have been in the habit of selling drink on the racecourse without a license to do so. ! But they have now got a terrible warning to stop—two of them fined Is each ! ! The Hon. Col. Brett, in the course of the.' totalisator debate in the " Lords," said :—i "1 should be sorry that we should interfere? with one of the grandest and most noble,1 sports of Great Britain, a sport which has' been carried on from century to century by: the most eminent and most honest men;« and there is not a sport in the world wheren there is really so little cheating as in horse racing. • That is praise indeed ! Yes ; but the Hon. Mr Scotland took up' the parable on the other side and declared : —"I do not approve of horse-racing ab all f, I think it fosters a useless breed of horses*' and a bad breed of men." , Queen Makea of Rarotonga has written: once more to the Government of New Zea land, asking that a Resident be appointed' at her capital. , A well known Aucklander is sure of tha1 appointment, when it is made. , A boy named Smith was badly injured by ' a boar near Hamilton yesterday. Breaches of the game laws are said to be' of frequent occurrence in Taranaki. The denizens of that primeval " garden" appear to be fond of high living, both as regards eatables and drinkables. An illicib still has been unearthed by the police ab' Inglewood. Ho, ho ! It is not in the far North alone* that such practices are carried on. The Opotiki "Herald" does not think much of Mr Glover's oratory. It says :— " He told his anecdotes ailU-xliew crammers well. He pitches his "ha'itches" and " liars" about promiscuously, and show 3 supreme indifference to English grammar." While you are on the anti-teetotal sub ject, what do you think of the following alteration on the old song :— Old King Cole was a merry old soul, And a merry old soul was he; He called for his pipe, he called for his bowl,- And he called for his "Vi aterbury! . ■ • Why, I think it's an audacious advertise ment ! The next thing will be a statement that old Cole called for Porter ! It was a cat that caused the wreck of the Northumberland. A feline animal of the Persian breed jumped overboard on the voyage, and in the fo'csle it was confidently prophesied that the ship would be wrecked. Sailors are still superstitious then, you; think? Certainly. A Norwegian barque, tho Squando, which recently put into the porb of Bathurst, in New Brunswick, has been abandoned by her officers and crew, who one and all declare that the vessel is " haunted," and that nothing would induce them to go to sea in. her again. When she was in San Francisco some years ago the captain and his wifs murdered the first mate, severing his hea4 completely from his body with an axe. Hetf next master was killed in a mutiny, and hia two immmedia£e successors died on board. Rev. J. A. Dowie is now in Sydney, and is "stuffing" the people with wonderful stories; of his achievements. Mrs Dowie stated as follows about a -casa that occurred in Auckland :—" A woman had a fit in the Salvation Army Barracks, and was carried home, and lay unconscious for days. They were asked to pray for her in the'hall, and the people in her house did so at the same time. After the prayers had been offered, the woman rose from her bed, opened her eyes, and was again restored to health."
