Anarchy in Africa.

We learn from African travellers of
the existence by custom, in some of the
West African states, of a general
anarchy and tolerated hostility during
the interregRum between the death of
the king and the enforcement of his
successor. When the King of Ashantee
dies. his weIaen destroy his treasures,
and general unrestricted iicence robbery
and murder prevail in the country; and
q similar season of disorder ensues on
the death of the chief in Whydah,
Benin, and other states. Waltz re-
marks, is his "AntropOlgy of Savages, -
concerning the duration and extent OF
THIS iicence: Usage has limited the
anarchy to the definite and short time,
and it is admitted by all that the dis
order in no way works a geal dissolution
of all social bonds, but it is only to be
regarded as a relaxation of them which,
notwithstanding that allSortS of outrage
are let loose. is always controlled by
custom, and induced no material dam
age to society" In AShantee, the sea-
s0s of unrestraint may last for five
DAYS; in other states 1T may continue
for considerably longer time, as in
Loango, where it prevails for several
months. In Dahomey, the death OF the
king is not made known for eighteen
months. while the heir, assisted by the
two highest officers, reigns in his name
dnring this whole period. The eighteen
months seem to mark the time during
which Il legal anarchy formerly pre-
vailed, though it may new have been
done away within, KULIsCHER, IN

A USEFUL MEMBER.

The Reno Journal says: ''Dr. j. c.
Hazlett, who has been nominated by
the Republicans of Lyon county for
State Senator. was in the Senate ten or
twelve years ago, and proved a most
useful member"
The remarks Of the Journal are right
in one sense, as DIR. Hazlett did prove q
''most useful member" not to the peo-
pie of his county, but to the Virginia &
Truckee Railroad Company. The
Journal can ascertain, if it is not al.
ready aware Of the fact, by examining
che records of the Senate Of 1871, that
DIR. Hazlett, then Senator from Lyon
county, introduced bill and advocated
its passage, to compel the Board oil
County Commissioners of Lyon county
TO issue $4,000 in bonds to the Vir.
GINA & Truckee Railroad Company,
whose road was then completed from
Carson to Virginia City. The records
will also show that the Senate, which
was then Republican. passed the bill,
and that the Democratic Assembly de-
feated it, thereby saving the taxpayers
OF Lyon county $4,000 and interest.
DIR. Hazlett certainly was "a most
useful member, not to his constituents,
but to the corporations.

HOW II THIS!

The Blaine papers accuse Governor
Cleveland of knuckling to the corpora
tions because he vetoed the Five Cent
Fare Bill, which bill was breach of
contract on the part of the State Of
New York. If, as is alleged by some
Of the opponents Of Cleveland. this veto
was made in the interest of the corpo.
rations, how does it happen that Jay
Gould and Cyrus w. Field. the largest
owners in the roads affected by the bill,
and all the great corporations of the
country, are in favor Of Mr.. Blaine, and
contributing largely to fund to aid in
his election! The Boston Herald,
which is published in city which is
the headquarters for many Of the great
est monopolies in the country. says the
great corporations prefer to have Blaine,
or even Butler, to Cleveland.

A STORMY CONVENTION.

The San Francisco Republican Con-
yention came very near breaking up IN
n row last Tuesday evening. and as 1t
was over thirty delegates bolted and
left the convention in body. A ma
;or;tv Of the convention was controlled
by the ring, and only persons whose
names were on the bosses slate stood
the slightest chance of being nominated.
A delegate who did not belong to the
ring. but who caught glimpse OF the
s.slate," read the names OF the proposed
candidates in open convention, and, to
facilitate matters, moved that they be
nominated by reclamation. The Call
says a scene of great confusion followed,
in which delegates gave three cheers for
the Tax payers ticket etc. When Or
der was restored, large number OF the
delegates, whose leader was refused a
hearing, left the convention, after which
the "slate" ticket was nominated.
The Chronicle says that Buckley s
men, who were in the gallery, caused
much of the commotion, but this is
denied by other Republican papers,
which say the opposition to the slate
ticket was made by anti-ring Republi-
cans, and as proof of the correctness OF
this statement, cite the fact that the
delegates who bolted the convention
were not Buckley's men, but Republl-
cans who would not submit to the rule
OF the ring.
1t is believed that all the delegates
who left the convention, and many
more who did not, will support the
Taxpayers ticket, which is now certain
to be nominated.

mine at the time of the explosion, not

1t Is thought that those not killed out
right by the terrible force Of the explo.
sion most likely perished from afterdamp.
What caused the explosion is not yet
definitely ascertained, as the entrances
to the mine are all full OF bad air; but
the presumption is that one Of the miners
struck iissure OF gas. The latest intel
ligence is that an exploringparty entered
the mine short distance and brought
out six bodies in frightfully mutilated
condition. There is no hope that any
will be rescued alive.

''Well," replied the Bishop, II think

Bishop Kip Is also Rector Of the Church
OF the Advent. Tho parish thought the
Bishops salary from the diocese of Cali
fornia was enough to keep him in good
style, so the parish Of the Advent paid
him nothingsthen the diocese of Califor.
mia thought that his salary as Rector d
the Church Of the Advent was enough
without any diocesan assistance, SO they
paid him nothing, and Of course between
the two his salary fell short"
