TABLE TALK.

Edwin's " blow " has just missed us. » More bread riots in London. ■"' Socialists threaten "bloody revolution." Fancy dress ball at tho Choral Hall to*

night. / "Something wrong" with the Waitoa goldfleld. The Canterbury folks are wavering in their faith. An attempt is being made to "crack up." Patetere stone as auriferous. New Zealand had better hurry up with a new goldfleld somewhere, or India will beab her. 7 ■

A large rich bed of gold-bearing quartz has been discovered in the Kuia. Valley, Punjaub. - /. .

Auckland Athenaeum to-night discusses the question, "Is a Vegetarian Diet Natural fcoMan?" Constable Sheehan, of. Thames, has been transferred to Auckland. Tlie Wellington "Post" says that the San Francisco mail service is to be abolished. "The wish is father to the thought." Wellington folks are getting sorry at the cry for retrenchment. It was resolved yesterday to wind up the Wharekawa Coal and Land Company (Limited). Immense natural stores of petroleum have been discovered in Venezuela. Natural illuminating gas has been dis covered while boring an artesian well in Wellington district. The Salvation Army are praying hard for the conversion of the Star reporter at Otahuhu.

Big drum and bagpipes will be required to accomplish the regeneration of such a hard case !

Mr Justice Ward took his seat on the bench of the Supreme Court, Christchurch, yesterday, and was warmly welcomed by the bar.

An Adelaide man who bits been looking for the editorship of a paper, and advertis ing that he was an "able and brilliant writer," has taken a wood and coal yard. '

Two perfervid youths at Dunedin set out early the other morning to smash win dows and generally " paint the town red," but they aro now doing ten days in gaol. Lord Brassey has offered to present to the Corporation of Hastings, England,; a reference library valued at £15,000, and the offer has been gratefully accepted. i " What shall we do with our boys ?" Why, make light-weight jockeys of them. Little Fielder, who won the Metropolitan on Cardigan, is now 13 years of age. He bqgan to ride when he was six, and now he earns about £1,000 a year.

There is said to be great disappointment all through Waikato at the result of the Waitoa gold "fizzle." Some few of the sanguine spirits still hope against hope, but the generality of the residents accepS tho inevitable, and recognise that a very pretty dream is o\ v er.
