TABLE TALK.

— ♦ Magic and mystery at the Opera House. Sacred concert at the City Hall to1 morrow. Last night of the Poultry Show. Sir George Grey goes South next week. Major Atkinson is invited to speak all- Auckland. Sword Dance brought to Auckland. What? Do you mean.to say that the champion dancer has " sold " himself to his Auckland rival.. Bosh. I'm sjjpking about the new race horse, and you're thinking about the Scotch " chiels " who are to dance next week. Never saw a. sword dance, didn't know it could. Oh, that's nothing; I've seen a rail fence, and a hat box !i■ *■ ; Happy news! Lord Charles Beresford is * not to be censured for his shocking breach of Royal etiquette, i , ' Every man things that " Cesar's wife " ought to be above suspicion, but he is far less particular as to what Caesar ought to ' be. ° H "A truth that's told with bad intent' 1 - Beats all the lies you can invent." : ' Murderous threat in the House of Com-1 mons. Mr Healy for' theatening to break a brother member's neck has been suspended for a fortnight. Poor fellow ! His own neck will be broken by that time if he is suspended—by a rope. No fear; Mr Healy is very stiff-necked: The English and Irish members don't - " hang well together." The man whof_ you can trust with un-; limited liberty you can trust with unlimited rjower; but you have got to find the man Did you hear JBie new candidate for* Ponsonby-Mr OrShard, of Wallace-street. Mr Peacock's seat is in danger. Oh, no : he's all Wright. A Peacock ■ can walk over an Orchard any day. j-v Aucklancl City Councillors retire on Bth ' September as follows:— Mr Crowther, Eastward; Mr Atkin, North Wardj Mr Parsons, Grafton Ward ; Mr E. Cooper, I Ponsonby Ward; and Mr Davies, Karan gahape Ward. Mr J. G. Trevithick, of Devonport, has ; been appointed drawing master of the Uni versity College school of apDlied science. _ That recent big dynamite blast in Wel lington harbour has made a hole 42 _eeb; deep where formerly it was only 20 feet deep. ' Rev. J. S. Hill says he knows of one em ployer in Auckland who has warned the men in his employ that unless they vote at! the elections for a candidate whom he named they would be discharged. Were there no cries of " Name," so that the cowardly fellow might be boycotted ? . Oh, no; the people are serfs, and quite used to be spoken to jn that way. ' " The New Zealandßefrigerating Company, Dunedin, recommend a dividend at the rate of 7 per cent, absorbing L 1,329. MrW. F.Hubbard, C.E., Auckland^ is first in order of merit for schemes of drain age and water supply for the borou°_i of Palmerston North. The Tactician's wisdom is now becoming apparent; he has had very successful meetings at Mount Albert and One hunga. ,• » Ignorance is not so much the want of learning as it is-the wrong application of it. Auckland has declined to join a New Zealand -Amateur Athletic Association which is being fdrmed at Christchurch. ■ * Consolation for Wellington ! H.M. S. Opal $ now at Russell, is to sail for Cook's- Straib on-Monday, without calling at Auckland:' - ri Annual meeting of Auckland Bowling f. Club to-night and presentation of prizes.' Volunteer troubles are not yefc settled. Devonport Navals will not be charmed back into the corps, and the disaffected Ponsonby volunteers mean still further to ventilate grievances. ' . About 500 people assembled in public meeting at Dunedin last nig]|g|carried'a resolution in favour of : BibUffeadin"- in ' schools. " * ° ' The Auckland Nayals mustered in the ■ Drill-shed last night, when there were more ! than sixty in '■' the ranks Avithoub the if officers. i Mr Stanley Hunter's invention is not a candlestick, but an " automatic candle shade." The object is two-fold-to shade the light and to prevent grease falMg bn table or pianoforte, and the shade moves down automatically as the candle "burn's. , Very funny when you think of it—tho longer a candle burns it gets the shorter. A man named Harvey has been found dead at Caversham, near Dunedin. He was a " remittance man " and subject to fits.; Wine that maketh glad the heart of man! Auckland orange wine—warranted non-in toxicating, yet possessing the same effects as the "genuine" article. ■' • ' '■ Buffalo Minstrels, reinforced by local ' ladies, are nearly ready for their opening performance on Monday evening.
