The dust raised by Western Legislatures in
regulating the railroads has obscurcd acts Of o
similar nature affecting other corporations.
Some lnHisht into the practical working Of
stringent insurance laws is furnished by tho
proceedings Of tho National Board Of Fire Un-
derwritors, in session yesterday Mt New York.
It Hooms that the Wisconsin law is es-
peciaIly obnoxious to tho Underwriters. and
the members Of tho Board arc anxious
to secure it's modification, Or failing this to tako
action that will bring the people Of that State to
terms. Insurance companies are not so entirely
at tho mercy Of Legislatures rs tho railroads.
They can, If It sooms to them desirable, rofuae
to do business in any State TINT yields slow or
iuconsidcrablo profits. II pushed too hard, tho
reputable insurance companies will withdraw

TIE DWAHFS OF AFRICA.

Tlero havo over boon traditions of strangely"
formed tribes Of human boings dwelling in Cen
tral Africa. That unknown region has boon
pooplod by fancy and fable with tailed men,
hidoous hyhrils, half human and halt boseial,
dwarfs, aud giants. Travellers who havo plunged
into It hayo Ind their stories Of discovery mot
with cool incrodulity. It was years boforo Du
Chaillu could convince people that the gorilla
Yas not myth. When tho animals existence
was definitely established, it was thought by
many to account for the stories of men with
tais. l. truer explanation haB boon given by tho
explorations Of Dr.. schwonfuorth, tho German

heart OF Africa. Ono Of tho tribes he
roachod waa tho Bongo. All its ma1o NOM

a striug tied round the middle Of tho body.
Tlia explains tho fablo Of tho TITLED mon as
fully rs man on horseback explains tho myth
Of tho Centaura. Tho most curious OF Dr.
ScAwoinfuorth's minor discoveries WAS yet to
como. Throughout his long journey he had
heard OF pigmies that liyod noar tho equator.
They Noro never over three feet tall, said his
Nubian servants, and thoy wore boards that
reached to their knoos. They were skilled ele-
| phnnt-huntera, creeping under tho animals aud
killing them with atabs from below. Thoy woro
| In great demand as Court buffoonB. Tho o.
plorer put little fath in those storicH thinking
| that aoeing was better than hearing. Finally ho
saw. At tho Court Of cannibal King, who ato
baby daily, he found soyoral pfgmies. They
! wore worry shy, and kept Out OF his
way tor several daya. At length hla
servants caught one. II looked up,
surprised at tho shouting" eays tho traveller
"and thoro, euro enough, waB the strange httit

President Grant IL entitled to high conanaen- I

While this bill, owing to tho awkwardneaH aud |
Ignorance Of tho inhatonists who prepared and |
passed 1t. camc fnr short Of their Intentions, and

way for its redemption. Tie afirmanco of this
right as to s44, ,000, 900 would have boon MI the
excuse wanted to authorize the Issue Of any

aiblo revolution. The President ia entitled

coivo ours, oven 1t ho has to forogo those Of

I it. The public, however, will care little for
their roasons, or anybody's roasons, SO
| long as the measuro ia killed. Proba-

Inconsistency; but tho kernel and gst
OF the prosidont'a message, which declares
| that "If in praotico the measure should fail tn
