ters, signed "An Englishman,' which
began to app9ar on December goth,
1851 . and attracted unusual atten-
ton, noWNinlg to the extraordinary
literary tvigour of their invective
against Napoleon III. Good critics
pronounced the writer superior to
NJunius," and they were attributed
to- all manner of statesmen OF the
highest pretensions. They were
originally published by the Times in
ignorance Of their writer's name, but
it was subsequently, it would appear,
ascertained that they were written
by Mr.. Fl. J.. w oIfenden tombstone,
a surgeon, who had lived in France
from 1848 to 1850. He died Gre
Gently" at Ramsgate, aged 81. He
appears to have remained silent ever
after, and it is pleasant to think that
in our day of acknowledgment, a
mau could live from middle life TO
old age in possession of of so power
full a weapon as Mr.. tombstone
welded, yet use it only when moved
out Of himself by moral Indignation.
There was not a journal in England
which would not have been proud
of letters from him, and he might
have destroyed Ministries but, in
an age of gable, he remained silent.
Mr.. W. II. Flower writes an in
teresting letter to the Times of yes.
terday, on the pygmy races of Cen
trail Africa, whose stature, he says,
probably averages about four feet
in height, if he may judge by a
skeleton of one of the. Aka tribe
sent over here by Emin Pasha. We
observe that Mr.. Stanley, in his letter,
treats the pygmies he met with as
not only cunning, but rather mali
,cious. It is easy to understand why
exceptionally wee persons, living
in a society where their smallness
makes them the object of ridicule,
may be soured by that ridicule;
but. when the whole society in which
thew live is of the same stature, we
do not see at all why the smaller
races should be more malicious than
the larger. Mr., Flower thinks that
The pygmies are probably the remains
of a race mentioned by HerodOtus,
that has gradually succumbed to the
aggression of stronger races, and if
SO, there might, of course, be a
reason in their history for exceptional
misanthropy but we should like 10
to have an elaborate accour' Of the
/. =, character of the AFRICAN pyg-
mics, which at present we do not
possess. Perhaps we should find
that their malice is not abnormal,
though the cunning probably would
be.

yields &6,2O0,O00 a year. he would
maintain all protective duties, bat take
off duties on articles not competing
with domestic products. He wishes
also to protect " farm products" but
does not indicate his method. He
would also pass restrictive Legislation
against Trusts,-that is, monopolies,
which, we may remark en- PEASANT,
have Just been declared illegal.
We have commented on this Message
elsewhere. 1t furnishes a remarka-
BILE proof of the ease with which a
country without frontiers, and there
fore without military expenditure or
fear of invasion, may be governed.
France is fast relapsing into a po-
Icy of Protection. A new and
large group, already including two
hundred and fifty Deputies, has been
organized within the Chamber to
defend the interests of agriculture
and of rural electors generally. NJ.
Meline, the ''Protectionist champion
has been elected chairman, and it is
understood that heavy duties on the
import of cereals will be speedily
pre- osed. 1t is necessary, however,
to get rid of M. Rouvier first, as he
is a staunch Free-trader, and it is
understood that this will be secured
by turning out the Government,
which will then be reorganised by
NJ. de Freycinet as a ProtectioniSt
Cabinet. 1t is calculated that a hos
tile vote may be obtained on the
demand for 964,O 900 a year as Secret
Service money for the Department
of ~ Interior ; but as this would
compel M. COnsta MS to resign, some
other subject may be selected. There
is, however, danger as to this vote,
for it is suspected, or known, hat
the money is partly spent in cleo
~tioneering, and on that subject the
Reactionaries and Radicals, who to-
gether make up a majority, are both
sore.
