' < Tho "Weekly Scotsman," of Saturday, March 1, contains, tho following article about "Polorus Jack," which would seem the people of the Old Country are a bit out as regards the geography of tho Dominion, evon in these enlightened .days:— " 'Pelorus Jack' is not dead, as was reported. Nine years ago a passenger on a ship, passing through tho Sound between New'. Zealand and Fiji, fired at 'Pelorus Jack,' an outrage which so incensed tho i people of New Zealand that Lord Plunket, the Governor, issued an Ordcr-iu-Couneil under which anyone injuring tho famous cetacean—especially rofcrred to in tho Order by his name—was made liable to a i penalty of XIOO. Last year 'Pelorus Jack* disappeared, and was mourned as dead, but lies has nuvv reappeared, and resumed his self-imposed duty of escorting'vessels sailing in the Sound." Warner's Rust-proof Corsets.
