~ Recognized by His Pet.
The most imteresting animal,
historically, in the collection of
the zoological gardens in Warh-
ington is a handsome African
leopard, before whose cage the
yisitor pauses, watching " with
a fascination composed of equal
parts of yepulsion aud admiration
"the graceful litheness of its
gerpent-like movements, its fa-
thomless aqua-marine eyes, and
the venomcus beaaty of its skin.
Itisa gift to his native city
of Richard Dorsey Mohun, the
distinguished African explorer,
and United States consul to Zan"
zibar, and has been christened by
him Dijini, an Afzican word sig-
nifying devil.
It seems that the inhabitants of
fa certain village in which Mr.
Mohun was stationed were kept
interror for the safety ot their
children by the periodical incur-
sions of a ficrce female leopard,
who bore away in her powerful
jaws pigs, sheep, and any other
~domestic animal which chanced
to tempt her feline appetite. The
consul, accordingly, resolved tu
rid them of this naisance, and
Baving Jaid her low froma dis-
charge from his rifle, discovered
that he had orphaned an interest:
ing young cub. ~his cub, which
he adopted, was Dijini. Under
his care the animal grew so tame
that he followed him about the
streets like a dog, and finally
accompanied him on 4 visit to
Germany. When the carriage he
had taken stopped in front of one
of the principal hotels in Antwerp,
and the consul sprang out, Dijini
leaped aiicr him, and the two
entered the building together.
Ths long intimacy which had
existed between them prevented
Mr. Mohun from realizing the
sensation the introduction of eo
unique a pet would create among
the iomates of a well-regulated
establishment. In an instant the
floor of the office was ciea.ed, ard
gues's were seen scaling pillars,
and clinging to the balustrades,
while the proprietor, from his
vantage ground behind a win-
dowed partition poured forth
vy lleys of expostulations in brok
en Wiglish.
oHe's as tame asa cat,� urged
Mr. Mohun. oI raised him froma
cub,�
Bat explanations and reassa-
rances were powerless to dislodge
such prejudices. Poor Dijin had
to be caged; and, after refusing
several flattering offers for him
from owners of menageries, Mr.
Mohun shipped him to America.
Six months afterwards upon his
tetarn to Washington, the consul
droye out to the gardens to see
his pet, and horrified the man in
attendance by jumping over the
railing which fenced in his cage.
oGet back,� he exclaimed, rush-{
| thrusting his. arm between ~ the}
i
Ee ehke you crazy ?� broke forth|
\the keeper seizing him by both
shouiders. oDon't you know you
will get your arm chewed off.�
But at this instant DijiniTs eves
fell upon his master. Uttering o
hideous cry of joy he sprang
forward, and fawning before Lim,
thrust out his long red tongue
end licked his extended baudT
A
Sweet-minaed Women,
So great is the influence of a
sweetminded woman on those
around her ~that it is almost
boundless. Itis to her that friends
come in seasons of sickness and
sorrow for he!p and comfort. One
soothing touch of her kindly
hands works wonders in the fev-
erish.child; afew words let fail
\from her lips in the ear of a sor-
rowing sister do much to raise
the load of grief that is bowing
ite victim down to the dust n
anguish. The husband comes
home worn out with the pressure
of business and feeling irritable
with the world in general, but
when he enters the cosy sitting-
room and sees the blaze of the
bright fire and meets his wife's
smiling face he succombs in a
moment tothe soothing influences,
which actasthe balm of Gilead
to his wounded spirit. We are
all worried with combating the
realities of life. The rough schoolT
boy flies ina rage from the taunts
of his companion to find solace in
the motherTs smile; tue little one,
full of grief with its own large
trouble, finds a haven ot rest or
its motherTs breast; and so one
may go. on with instances of the
influence a sweetminded woman
has in the social life with which
she is connected. Beauty is an
insignificant powe: when com-
pared with hers.
