PoLYGAMY IN AFRICA.-Some philosopher,
lecturing in Philadelphia on the subject of
the products, trade and climate of Liberia,
says polygamy is tolerated in the interior of
Africa 'just as it is winked at in Utah." It
does not seem to be only ''winked at in the
latter country, but it is inferred that most
of the people there are inclined to go actually
asleep upon it. Moreover, the lecturer
asserts that the surplusage Of these African
wives are purchased with copper kettles
manufactured in Waterbury, Conn. This is
good news for our copperhead politicians, and
a rare chance for them to make capital cut of
it. The idea that Yankee copper kettle
should be legal tender for an extra African
spouse is something new in the tariff of the
matrimonial market.
