AUCKLAND, N.Z., MONDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1887.

PHICE-ONE PENNY

TABLE TALK.

-* Equinoctial gales. Puir aulrl Scotland! Tho Thistle vanquished. Yankee " smartness " exemplified. The Samoan coup d'etat is complete. The deposed King is coming to Auck land. Last of the local polls declared to-day. "No dealings with tho Samaritans !" ; \ An AtkinsOn-Vogel coalition is out of the question. Mr Justice Gillies takes up his duties to-: morrow. ;. ■ October Civil Sessions open on Thursday next. The Court is not off with the old love be fore it is on with the new. • Parcel post system started in New Zea land on Saturday last.. Carriers complain that the Government) monopoly will ruin their business. St. Benedict's foundation stone will be laid on Sunday, 16th inst. Waikato Hunt Club races will be held on October 28th, on tho old racecourse at Gwynnelands. Messrs Ashcroft and Co. will shortly commence their electric lighting experi ments in Auckland. Rev. Mr Griffiths, of Cambridge Baptist Church, has received a call to Invercargill. Still more gold discoveries! Deposits similar to those ab Waitoa have been found at Pukekohe. Dargaville, the defeated, is in Auckland, and contends that Marsden election is in valid. The reason is that Sir Thompson, the new member, did not deposit £10 with there turning officer. Members leave Auckland for the South to morrow morning. The question of the hour is—Has the defeat of the Ministry anything to do with the advance in New Zealand stocks ? ( In fchd; New Zealand '^'Gazette " " the Colonial Treasurer " is rendered into Maori as the " Minita whakaiahero inga mone o'te koroni," which, being literally translated, is " The Minister who malces to travel the money of the colony." James Dunn and David Ford are to wrestle at Wellington on the 22nd inst., for £25 and the lightweight championship of New Zealand. ... Greymouth Customs returns for last month show a very large increase. All ow ing to the importation of material for the Midland Railway works. The criminal sessions of the Supreme Court opened at Wellington to-day. There are thirteen charges against 15 prisoners. Many of the charges are larceny and house breaking, and for the most part they are of a petty character. " No," said an old maid, • I don't miss a husband very much. I have trained my dog to growl every time I feed him, and I have bought a tailor's dummy that I can scold when I feel like it." Ib is thought that the Government can save £1,000 a year in the Police Department by building brick structures to take tjie place of buildings rented as country police stations. . . < > J J i Application is likely to be made to. the new Parliament to appoint a commission for the purpose of providing* for the com plete organisation of the military and naval defences of the colony. Two offenders from Wellington are believed to have gone to Sydney, and possibly the Fugitive Offenders Act Avill be put into operation. A number of new buildings are in course of erection at Ofcahuhu—among others new stores and post and telegraph office to take the place of those destroyed by the late great fire. ~.' Mr Arthur Pennal, a settler at Wainui, has died after a residence in the colony of 35 years. He was a native of Somerset shire, England, and was formerly hi the employ of Messrs Owen and Graham, of Auckland. 7 It is anticipated that ere long some ad- * ditions will have to be made to the staffs of the chief post offices to meet the extra labour involved by the parcel post system. A Woman at Chester, England, who was arrested for throwing a brick through a shop window, said she did it for the pur pose of letting her husband know her ad dress through the press. At the library : Lady—l ani getting tired of modern fiction ; can't you recommend me a good, exciting standard work ? Li brarian —Have you read " The Last Days of Pompeii ?" Lady—No, I believe not. Can you tell me what he died of? Libra rian—Eruption, I believe. The Rev. Robert Hall, when asked how many sermons a preacher could prepare iv a week, replied, "If he is a man of pre eminent ability, one; if he is a man of ordinary ability, two ; if he is an ass, six."
