TABLE TALK.

Sir Geokge Grey's health is junproving. ' More election nominations. , ; Ponsonby — last of all—\to-morrqw' a^ noon. ! Two Ponsonby candidates give address©^ to-night, • | Sir Geo. Grey elected unopposed to& Auckland Central. " * " Sword Dance" has arrived in Aucki land. I The Scotch " chiels " showed the sword! dance long ago. ' Big hauls of whitebait are being made ati Greymouth. i Col. Eraser will not contest Thames' Mayoralty next year. Mr J. B. Gilfillan, who has been on aj visit to the old country, has returned by the! direct steamer Aorangi. I January 26th is to be a general holiday . throughout Australasia in future, starting] ; with the centennial celebration in January! next. * The Chinese laundrymen of New York ■ have organised themselves into a lodge of the Knights of Labour. There are still a lot of men seeking work on the Midland Railway line. Wellington people are still discussing politics "—in other words they are cadg ing a clock from the Government. Sir Julius Vogel rightly thinks that the Government cannot afford to pay £1,100 for a gift to the people of Wellington, especi ally as it is to be- spent on a work that is not "reproductive." " Post" construes this to mean that) Wellington might have the clock tower if the Wellington members would support the Government. And these be the subjects niscussed in the '"Empire City " at a grave political crisis! A Honolulu paper says : — " Hawaii, whether she knows it or not, has the al ternative before her of reformed govern ment or foreign intervention." An Ameri-; can protectorate is highly probable. i| The "North China Daily News" saysj British merchants are actively supporting the Canadian Pacific mail rouis. The report is confirmed than Frank Vizetelly, the "Times" correspondent with Hicks Pasha's army, who was cap-j tured by the Mahdi, died near Duan of] dysentery. About £80 have been collected to send Hearn, the sculler, to Sydney, as the pro ceeds of a costume football match at Wel lington, i El a sculling match at Orilha, OntarioJ Canada, on 25th August between Wise and] Gaudaur, the latter was beaten by two' lengths. * j The latest Yankee notion is how to make capital out of a notorious murder case. A letter was received at La Roquette Prison for Pranzini, the murderer, written by a' tradesman of Washington, who offered to! take his place on the scaffold. The letter, thus concluded: "It would be a splendid] advertisement with which to leave this? world."- ! Sir Wm. Fitzherbert arrived by tha' mail steamer on Saturday, and evadingj newspaper interviewers left at once for; Wellington. s. He .will be reappointed to the post of | , Speaker of the Legislative Council in a few?: ■ days. '•> Overheard in Eden Electorate.—Elector —"I'd vote for ye, only you're such a fool.": Candidate—" Fool, ami? Then I'm thet man to represent you." This sally of wit(| is expected to gain a vote. i " More justices^ justice I An individual who wa3 fined 5s and costs at the Police Court to-day for allowing a cow to stray,] pleaded that he had no money, and was'i actually ordered fourteen, days' imprison-! mentas the alternative.. j Murphy, the light-weight champion, has been presented by his Wellington admirers] with a very handsome gold medal appro-' priately inscribed, prior to his return to* Auckland. The victorious Murphy is to arrive in Auckland on Wednesday, and his firsbj action will be to accept Donovan's] challenge. , ~ .... .„[
