A VOICE FROM THE COMET.
TO THI EDITOR OF THB IVJSNISG POBT. Sir — I am sorry to notice that the inhabitants of your fine city are very imperfectly informed regardire my position, and as I am. anxioas that the ladies, at any rate, shonld admire my handsome figure, I beg to givo them tho following directions how to find me : — Draw a straight line from St. Peter's Paraonage at an angle equal to tho handle of a etewpan nntil it meets another line drawn similarly from the observatory. Then from the point of intersection elongate perpendicularly downwards the length of a reel of cotton, and the end of the thread will jnst reach the middle of my tail. Apologising for encroaching on your valuable space, I am, &c., The Cohet. 27th May, 1881.
