believed that there ia now in Brazil population of
almost millions Of souls, Of whom one million
and half only are whites, and three millions black
slaves the remaining two and half millions being
composed Of free negroes, Indiana and the mixed
castles of mulattoes sambos, &c. Taking the basis
of the official enumeration Of 1873, the slaves and
the free blacks together would make somewhat more
than 1000 900: and this number 10 swelled by an
average Introduction OF 80 900 slaves every year from
the coast Of Africa. The slaves the masters Of

the village Of Funduck had dressed his child about
two years old, In shawl and cape ornamented with
pieces of gold and entrusted 1t with slave who left
Il for moment seated In the court of house. On
his return the child was gone and every seach for II
proved Ruthless The father applied TO the Scraskie
entreating him 10 enquire into the circumstances.
The officer reflected that tho child could not have
been carried far on account Of his cries and there
fore must have been taken by one Of the nelghbors
He did not communicate this idea 10 any one, but
directed OF his messengers 10 go TO the village OF
Fundncki the hour Of prayer, TO enter the mosque
and summon the Intna,i or priest 10 come immedi-
ately to his palace. When the Inman came into the
