TABLE TALK.

"Bon Accord." Auckland arfd the Earl. Brilliant ceremony in the Art Gallery. "Be blithe and blissful, Earl of Abor-

deen !"

That's a new reading of a very old poet The Scottish poet Dunbar wrote (in tho fourteenth century I think) that sentiment regarding tho " borough of Aberdeen." The Earl and Countess are to be present at the Burns Club concert to-morrow night. Stottish song, story, sword dance, and strathspey ! • Hooch ! Dunedin Scots have appointed a com mittee to arrange a reception for the Earl and Countess down South.

Pity that thoy aro doomed to disappoinfc ment.for the Earl and Countess are in search of rest and mean to stay at the Hot Lakes all the timo they are in tho colony. Rev. Mr Dowio left the colony by the Mararoa last night. The dancing bear was a fellow passenger with him.

Sorry for the bear !

No fear ! The bear will hold his own in an argument with the Faith Healer. Rather be sorry for Auckland at losino- two companies of mountebanks " at one fell swoop." Oh, cheer up ! We've still got the circus, and the bell-ringers promise to open on Saturday. In a sculling match at Dunedin, Pala mountain beat Maclay easily by six lengths. Palamountain 1 What a name for a Scotchman ! He should change it to Mac gregor or some other " Mac."

Diamond cut Diamond !

Anne Diamond, lessee of the Clarendon Hotel, Dunedin, for allowing gambling with dice on her premises, was yesterday fined £8 and costs.

Decree msi granted at Christchurch in the divorce case Bowern v. Bowern and Kitchen.

Mrs Bowern, who figured in the nasty Russell case at Christchurchj was the res pondent—or was it the petitioner ? Don't know; but they should make these points clear in the telecrrams.

The steamer Douglas is ashore ab Opotiki.

Too little water there; but Mr Glover, the Alliance lecturer, is in that region, and he'll soon " spout " a watery flood sufficient to float ten Douglasses. Macandrew Memorial Committeo are con sidering what form the memorial to the deceased statesman should take.

Nice peaceful Maoris up North. It is stated that the Hauhau natives ab Waihou, Hokianga, have burnt the hody and paten a portion of a native child, after keeping it eighteen days. They are all fond of " high " diet. Any thing more ?

Report further says the fanatics, who muster about 200, are fattening-up an old' Maori for another gorgeous and ghastly operation ; also, that a " prophet" has com manded them to oiler a white man as a sacrifice.

All right; there are lots of special settlers there, and some of them " never would be missed—no, they never would be missed." That would be a special way of " settling" them. But those Maoris doii'b mean any thing, of the sort, and they haven't done anything so dreadful as is reported.. It's all an election dodge ! - — Decidedly green election tactics, I must say.

France and Germany seem bent on having their wind out.

" Potz-tausend ! Dormer und blitzen !" "Sacre-bleu ! Mille norn dun pipe !" etc., etc.

That's how. they've been firing away across the frontier of late, but now martial law has been proclaimed, and the French have got a " warning" from their hereditary foes. ■ '

That patriotic policeman, M. Schnaebelle, is full of Gallic enthusiasm, and he defies the German jurisdiction. The latest news from Europe is alarming.

The Berlin papers assert that numerous officers and a general staff haye uiieipectedly arrived at Dredenhofen and Moyenore for tresses on the Alsatian frontier.. _"

■ Well, well; che sara sara, which is a fatalistic Italian saying, meaning that what is to be will be.

But what people want to know is —When will it be? ~
