DOLPHIN ACTS As PILOT.

pe,orus Jack is the name OF an old

act Of the New Zealand legislature. :,
According to an Australian colonis. :,
Mr.. George Hayes, who sends an account
of the fish to Lloyd's Weekly, the o1nciai
proclamation Of the government pio-
hibits any interference with Pe1orus
Jack under penalty of s 100.
Forty years ago, when Mr.. Hayes mrs.

knowledged to be Pelorus JACK, never
left the locality where he lost MS COM

now protected by law as he Eas always
been by sentiment
The most remarkable fact OF all IS tue
reason for the passage OF the law, Wn1cn
is that Pelorus Jack acts as most e.

into a seat. Then he unsteadily, but
firmly, extracted a big cigar~from his
pocket, lighted it, and pulled away,
despite all rules and regulations,
and oblivious to the disgust of his fell
low passengers.
The conductor, busy with fares, did
not at first notice the smoker. As the
smoke increased in volume the women
became more and more angry, and
some of the men had begun to screw
their courage to the point of risking
an ARRAY with the man. when the con.
ductor's duties brought him again to
the firing line.
This time he said nothing, but as he
passed the drunken smoker he neatly
drew the cigar from between the fell
lows lips and threw it into the street

Specia1ism in Law.

IN this country nearly every student
admitted to the bar is under the impress
slon tnat there is in him the more than
possibility Of a great trial lawyer. Hav-
ahg read accounts of brilliant cross-ex-
amlnations, and successful addresses to
5ur1es, says the Green Bag, he has in
mind that he is entirely competent, at
Inc outset, to try the most complicated
and difficult cause. Unfortunately as to
many who are not qualified for that
work, 1t Is only after very many years,
ana after considerable experience at the
expense OF litigants and the public, if at
al, that they ascertain that they have
not the peculiar aptitude necessary to
tne successful trial lawyer. In the mean
tine not only have the clients suffered,
Dut the business of the courts have been
retarded to very serious extent, by the
lack OF adaptability on the part of the
pfactlt1oner, as well as by lack of ex-
perlence, since it is impossible that every
man admitted to the bar, shall have the
opportunity to try sufficient number
OF causes to give him the degree of ex-
perlence requisite in order to obtain the
pest results. Sooner or later, in the in
terest OF the clients, and to save the time
and patience Of the courts, there must
De IN this country natural division be-
tween the labor OF the solicitor and the
duty OF the barrister, not, artificial or
conventional, but one which shall grow
up from the nature of the case, by which
certain men who are best qualified for
the trial OF causes will carry on that
work to the practical exclusion of those
without special adaptability for, that
class OF business. In this, as in every
other direction, the specialist must find
his place.

ODD DEVICES OF BANKERS.
Ingenious Dodges Resorted To When
Excited Subscribers Clamored
for Money.

Some amusing anecdotes are being
told of the devices resorted to by bank
ers to gain time and inspire confidence.
On one memorable occasion. relates an
exchange Of that city, the excited sub
scribers of Chicago bank, much to
their indignation, were only able to en-
ter the bank one by one except at the
cost of spoiled coats, as the cute mana
ger had caused the doorposts to be fresh
ly painted.
Another bank prevented crisis in It's
affairs by exhibiting in the windows
large tubs apparently brimful OF SOW
ereigns. These tubs, however, simply
were upside down, and only a small
quantity of gold was piled up on their
bottoms.
But the most ingenious dodge OF all
was successfully carried out in Buenos
Ayres recently. There was run on
large bank, and for several days sub
scribers besieged the premises, with
drawing money and placing it in an
other bank on the opposite side OF the
road It happened, however, that these
two institutions had private under
standing, and as fast as the "safe" bank
received the deposits they were returned
to the unsafe" one by an underground
passage, with the result that every one
marveled at its continued ability to
meet its demands.
