Jamnica 0verrun with the Destruc-
 tive Animals.
 In 1872 MT. W. Bancroft Espeut im- ported four pairs of the Indian mon- goose for the purpose of destroying the "cane-piece rat" Ten years later, says Nature, it was estimated that the saving to the colony through the work of this animal amounted to z 100000 an- nually. Then came sudden change in the aspect of affairs. It was found that the mongoose destroyed all ground nesting birds. and that the poultry, as we'll as the insectiverous reptiles and batrachians of the island, were being extermnated by it. Injurious insects increased in consequence a thousand fold; the temporary benefits of the in- troduction were speedily wiped away. and the mongoose became pest.
 Domestic animals, including young pigs, kids, lambs, newly-dropped calves, puppies and kittens. were destroyed by it, while it also ate ripe bananas, pine- apples, young corn, avocado pears, sweet potatoes, cocoas, yams, peas, sugar cane, meat and salt provisions and fish. Now we are told nature has made another effort to restore the bal ance. With the increase of insects due to the destruction by the mongoose of their destroyers has come an increase of ticks, which are destroying the mon- goose, and all Jamaicans rejoice.

Shoeing the dogs saves their feet from soreness induced by running over the stubble.

THE WEALTH or THE SOUTH

perues and others. whose interests lie
I'm what may be- roughly called Southwest

the material interests of that section.
Mr.. Wells says that 10 is the Judgment OF
the committee that perhaps no section
Of the country OF equal area in The
United states is so rich in quantity and
variety of minerals as Southwest Nir-
einis.. and ne believes that there viii be
great activity there as the result Of
certain conditions growing out Of the
late war.

columns the report of the Norfolk and
western Railway Company, showing that
the gross earnings of the company for
the past fiscal year exceeded those Of any
previous year I'm the history Of the road
AS the Norfolk and Western road is
largely fed by Southwest Virginia, We ace
copt this as another evidence OF the
prosperity Of that part Of Virginia. And
yet with this evidence Of prosperity, and
with the splendid mineral wealth which
Mr.. Wells and his associates are pro-
posing TO advertise. for some time past
we have heard nothing from the Ninth
District but a calamity wall
We have been trying TO point out TO
the people Of that rich section the folly
Of such course. How much better
card such as that which Mr.. Wells prints
than the average political barangue about
the distressed condition Of the people
and the "anguishing industries OF Nir-
einia. Virginia needs more men Ike Mr..

encouraged rather than those who preach
