Captain Seebeholm has been so kind
as, not only to invite on board any ladies or
gentlemen who may wish to inspect the
bremen, but also to arrange for their going
aud returning. A steam launch with boats
will leave the ship at two o'clock this AFTER

returning so as to reach town ut six O'Clock.

were caught in q trap and were addressed in
scornful terms by mischievous grinning boys,
OF perhaps even poked with q stick. His
cousins, the gray i%chneumons of Egypt, are
so much better off, allowed everywhere to
run about the house like cats and serving
the same end. Even our little animal, the
brown lchneumon of India, otherwise called
mon6Oose or mOngoust, has been occasionally
amed. The species was introduced here
many years ago by the late Mr.. Coulter and
the late Mr.. VIII. Heylger to rid the canefelds
OF rats, and although often the subject OF dis
pute,W we believe that the imported animals and
THEN descendants have done the work ex-
pected of them.
With that We leave Cactus" but We have
a criticism to make on ourselves. 1t is so
easy to commit that common fault known as
Jumping to conclusions This we did when
limiting that Buck Island might perhaps be
used as an i~solating station in case we
should be SO unfortunate as to have any
plague cases here. In making that sugges-
ton we overlooked the considerable distance
OF Buck Island from Christiansted and the
long chain of difficulties that would follow
from that one fact. In an emergency the
task of finding a suitable place would fall on
the rightful authorities, who would doubt
less consider the case from all sides.
We are glad to see that the Editor of the
st. Thomas Bulletin puts in q plea for spar
ing the trees of the town, which he says are
being cut down because they harbour rats.
