He says: —“In a ride over 400 miles from Havana to Noivitas through the best portion of the grazing country of the island I did not see a dozen sheep. I saw three, or four in the city of Havana, and about half a dozen, on the way to Neivitas, and all of tlieso sheep were covered with hair like our common goats of the States; they were nearly all'spotted resembling the common billygoat.' If the best covered sheep in tho States is brought here, it will lose its wool the first year, and in its stead will come a growth of hair, and it will become spotted.’-’ The scripture which asks “Can the Leopard change its spots?” it would seem, can now be answered in the affirmative.
