 In India aud in Egypt the fierce lchneumons (Pharaoh's rats), or Inon- goose, as they are variously called, are held in the greatest esteem for their services in ridding the fields of ven- emous serpepts and destructive rodents. and in the latter country have been classed with sacred croeodiles, COWS and scarabae That is a good record, as far as it goes. Nothing can exceed the certainty and celerity with which one of these gray, ruddy-headed, broad jawed, short-legged, ferret-lise, fierce little cyclones in fur will master an enraged reptile, lodging with the ra- pidity of light, and seizing the vulner- able point with unerring accuracy. No small creature that knows the mon- goose will stand against him if he can help it; rat is powerless in his strong grip; it is even said that larger anil mals will flee before his demoniacal att tack, and yet
 Has not MT. Belmont made a mis- take in sending those mongooses to Mir. Vanderbilt; and will not iIr. Van derblt make greater mistake in giv- ing them roaming commission in the United States?
 The introduction of the mild and tinid rabbit into Australia and the tre- mendous factor which Sir Bunny has become in Australian agricultural af- fairs should be warning to the inn porter of foreign animals. They so1ne- times develop singular habits and traits under peculiar circumstances. The English sparrow is even now pip Ing an amen to this statement.
 But it is not necessary to go afield for examples which may prove the pos sibility of danger in this direction. Mir. Vanderbilt's is not the first at- tempt which has been made to induce the mongoose to transfer the scene of his labors and usefulness to other scenes, and the result of former ex- pertinent was distinctly disastrous.
 Several years ago prominent citizen and popular member of the government of Jamaica, in the West Indies. was filled with the idea of performing a wise and meritorious service to his country.
