The following circumliance related by Monfieur
DEGRANDORE, an officer in the French marine, in
his voyageto Africa, thews a very exalt refemblance
between dealing in (laves and dealing in hones :
" A black merchant had a certain flave,
teeth were good and who& figure was pa Ifable,but
who was fo old that no perfun would have chofen
to pttrchafe him. The owner canted his head and
chin to be clofely fhaved, and rubbed him all over
with gunpowder, fo that he appeared a good thin
ing black, :old the molt clear lighted trader might
have been deceived. I was taken in, and bought
him without fufpicion; but, in two days, the white
beard and hair made their appearance. It was a
leffon to me ; and I never afterwards neglected to
have their heads walked with warm water, when
there was the fmallell reafon for fulpefling the age.
