"New Zealand is the most interesting corner of the civilised world to-day," is the flattering remark at tJie top of a prominent advertisement in a Chicago weekly called "The Public." The advertisement goes ou to extol the merits of a b,ook by, Professor Frank Parsons entitled "The Story of New Zealand," which is declared by one reviewer to be "a great book." This volume, as far as we can gather, is not as well known in New Zealand as it ought to be, inasmuch as it is claimed by th« advertiser to be "the only single book in existence giving an adequate idea of New Zealand history, and a full account of the rise* and development of its remarkable in> stitutions and government." The Grey River Argus correspondent at Kumara supplies the following: — A. few nights ago a little girl picked up a parcel between the telegraph-post opposite the post office and the office. The parcel was lying, in a wheel-rut. Sho handed the parcel to the postmaster, who on opening it discovered 150 dynamite caps. Rugg's coach generally passes between this telegraph-post and the post office, but on this particular night, having a light moil, the coach did not -leave the road. If it had done so the wheels must have passed over the packet, and there would n8 doubt have been a terrible disaster.
