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. “He's as tame asa cat,” urged Mr. Mohun. “I 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. “Get back,” he exclaimed, rush-{ | > thrusting his. arm between ‘ the} i Ee ehke you crazy ?” broke forth| \the keeper seizing him by both shouiders. “Don't you know you will get your arm chewed off.” But at this instant Dijini’s eves fell upon his master.
