Az AMAZON OF THE GUARD.

lite. AS a last resource the monarch
armed 1000 women and sent them out to
do battle with the enemy. The female
legion retrieved the fortunes of their
king by the display of valor which the
men had not shown, and since the event
full day on which they swept as victors
through the dismayed ranks of Daho-
mey's invaders the amazons of the house
hold guard have been the chief reliance
OF the potentates who have succeeded
King Agaja on the throne.
The corps of amazons consists of 1000
women who are sworn TO chastity. No
female of the country can marry until
she has the kings consent, and il, upon
view, he decides that she is better suited
for war than for wsdlock, her engage
ment is annulled, and she is entered on
the roll of soldiers. From that on till
the day of her death she is more closely
guarded from temptation than the fair
est bud in the highest social circles Of
civilization. 1t is death for her to violate
any of the rules to which she is subject
ed, and she is more isolated from the
other sex than nun. The man who
dares keep the road when a squad of
amazons approaches, does so at the peril
Of his life. The tinkle of the amazon
bell warns all males TO retreat or dodge
down some byway until the warrior
women have passed on. Only the fa-
vored few who are allowed to carry the
lion stick of the king dare meet his ma
sosfrso b,>1v ar1f foca t0 fa>a
Although the amazons can never wed,
married women who enter tho regiments
are allowed To keep up their domestic re-
lations, but all their female children are
amazons from birth. and the only future
before them is the celibate life OF the sol
dier.
Although it is capital crime to ap-
proach or court member of this famous
body guard of Dahomey's monarch, love is
the same the world over and laughs alike
at locksmiths or the most dreadful penal
ties. Not along ago the king learned
that $50 of his amazons had entered into
matrimonial relations In violation of the
laws and without his consent. All the
guilty women were killed at Agbome,
and their husbands shared their fate.
On their march inland the French will

Gently II. Etienne stated the cause Of
the disagreement between the two ma
tions He said that the king of Da-
honey had refused to recognize the
French protectorate over the slave coast,
and had invaded that territory. but had
been repulsed. he also said that IL the
king refused to satisfy the demands Of

KEROSENE OIL.

The statement having gained cur
rency that kerosene oil below the
legal test is now being imported and
sold here, Marshal Sopcr invited re.
presentatives of the press to his
Office this morning. for the purpose
of laying the facts of the case before
them. The Marshal is the official
entrusted with the duty Of testing
Kerosene, and seeing that it is OF
that quality to fulfil the requirements
Of law. lie makes the tests and
keeps record thereof. The law
provides that OF, which will not stand
test of 100 degrees shall not be
admitted. The Marshal is notified
by The Custom House when q ship
ment Of oil arrives, and test is
made before II permit TO land is
granted. as matter Of fact, two
shipments have been recently re-
turned to San Francisco because
they did not stand the test, and nc
oil has been permitted TO land be-
low the required 100 degrees. Pro
badly there may he inferior oil il
the market, but this is owing TO tn,
fact that the legal test is placed toe
low. Anyhow, this is the opinion o
men competent TO judge. That is ;
question for the consideration Of tn,

A LIVE QUESTION.

EDITOR BCLLETiN:--
We think the editorial in the Adj
vertiser of yesterday, headed what
will they do about it, puts more
into the question then really belongs
there. We think that everythiD.
relating to the A,torney-Gcneral
should he stricken from the ques-
ton, which the Legislature may be
called upon TO consider.
The question as to "what is a
Constitutional Cabinet has been
already decided, not only by all
civilized constit. .tional governments
but by onr own highest tribunal,
and that decision is, that all the
members of Cabinet or majority
o! them, are the Cabinet" for busi-
ness purposes. That one member
of Cabinet should disagree on
some point is not killing matter,
nor an extraordinary occurrence;
but to ind tour men of unquestion-
ed intelligence who could examine
many momentous questions for two
years without disagreement, that
would be extraordinary indeed.
For the Legislature TO vote
"want OF confidence" IN the Cabinet
because one member disagreed with
| the other three would be childish,
or for the Legislature to spend time
trying TO oust q Cabinet Minister
because he disagreed with the ma
jority, we would think equally weak.
Where would snch pernic!ous
principle end il given loose reins!
The Attorney.Genera! may disagree
with the Cabinet to-day. and the
Minister of Foreign Affairs may dis
agree with the Cabinet tomorrow,
and the Minister Of the Interior may
| disagree with The Cabinet next day,
| and so on. If all Of these in turn
must be dismissed because they
can't agree with the Cabinet, sucl. Il
course would destroy the best Of
Cabinets.
50 we think the Legislature has
nothing to DO with the want of unity
in the Cabinet, as long rs the Cabi-
net attend to their duties IN an
acceptable manner; and il they
don't the Legislature will know just
what 70 do.
Neither do we think the legis!a-
turc should take any notice OF the
unwise council given To the King hy
the AttOrncy-G General let eacl, bear
his own sins.
| Now, we come to the vital CUES.
tion with which the country must in
some way deal, viz: the refusal o.
His Majesty to obey the laws as in
tcrpre,ed by our Supreme Court.
For His Majesty to urge the near as
sembling of the Legislature as M
excuse for not obeying the law, or
to lay the blame upon the Attorney
General rs II scapc-goat to bea'
away his sin Of omission is, TO say
the least, a careless negligence Of :
contided duty because 1t is revOlu
tionary in its tendencies, by thu;
| defying the law which he has swo'.
to obey. 1t he had obeyed the Law
and let the sin of the measure res
on the Cabinet, his skirts woul'
have been clean and his act JUST
. fed both by the law and the people
: Whether the Legislature will b.

duty ia not clear to us, but the rs

Leet.LeSgedness.

A paper under this title has recently
been read before an English scientific
association, by physician who says
that man, generally characterized as a
right handed animal, is also popularity
supposed to be right-legged. The the
DRY is, however, as he maintains, not
supported by fact. When man is
standing, and is working with the Ugh.
hand, there is tendency to use the
left leg for balance.
Many persons find it easier to go
round circles to the right than to the
left. Race-cou.ses are almost always
made for running in circles to the
right, and it will be noticed that the
ma ority of movements, like dancing
and running, are more readily per-
formed in that direction.
The general rule in walking is that
of keeping to the right, and it appears
to have foundation n nature. Of o
large number of intelligent people
who were asked about the existence of
thi, rule, only 81 per cent. among men
and So per cent. among women were
aware of it. This supports the fact
that it is consciously obeyed.
All cioWuS teuu 10 pear IOWalQ the
right. The left leg being stronger, it
is more readily brought into action,
and for this reason troops start with
the left foot. 1t is the foot which is
placed in the stirrup of saddle, or
the step of bicycle, in mounting, and
it is that upon which man rests in
making a jump.
In series of experiments made by
bandaging the eyes of boys and then
telling them to walk straight" the
right-handed ones diycrged to the
right, and the left handed ones to the
left. In short, all the evidence thus
far obtained by this writer tends to
prove that man, being either naturally
or artifcially right-handed and left
legged, tends unconsciously to bear to
the right, while the lower animals, on
the other hand, appear nearly always
to circle to the left.
These are at present but curious
speculations, and it may be that the
author of the theory is too much occu-
J. led in finding facts to support it to
see those which teach the reverse of
his doctrine. Certainly the left legs of
all right handed persons are not the
stronger. Right-handed men and boys
kick football with the tight foot, dc
they not?

Humanity is indebted to Father NJ IL
quette for its first knowledge of the man
eater OF the Mississippi, and he wrote q
description of it in 1868, from which All
engraving was made in Paris. Mr.. Miles
made his drawing on the spot, but the
French picture which is here presented
was ushered int o the world under condi-
tons that made it dubious. The good
father described it from memory having
learned all the Indian traditions about it,
and being influenced very muc.l by those
traditions. The engraver made it as
frightful as he could in order to lie in
teresting. Thus letwccn the two was
evolved an object which, as any one can
detect, never could have been sculptured,
which perhaps accounts for the persist
