terIngs OF the wretched victims while on shi pboard
ana the great gains Of the traffic AS it il now lille
saiy carried on may ee conjeetured by the hor-
Tlble details connected with the recent CAPTURE of
SLAYER by IL. NJ. ship Arab on the coast of Cuba
! as thus given by the London Times, on reliable
authority:
me SlANti WAS II schooner OF only l1b
| name and nation concealed, though clearly of
| American build When the vessel was cantur.d
There wore $50 slaves Oh board, huddled together
naked "a they were born. There not room for
theIn to lle down. and they sat upon their launches
| in rows. packed one between the legs of anothsr
between the hold and the deck, on boards placed
oyer water casks without light or air but from tbe
hatch"ay If they moved, the poor creatures lite.
| rally rolled over one another, being packed as
! thick As they could sit from stem to nearly TN.
| stern of the vessel. Between the bare boards on
which they were placed and the main deck the
| height was only 81 feet Five hundred huuan
beings were jammed in to this horrible hole though
II is beyond all comprehension how they were thus
! slowed away. The filth and stencil ave and tho
| mass Of yermin, were ndescribabie and can we
wonder that l2O of them died on their Daasaga -
Twenty more expired under the British flag but
before they could be landed British sod Ofthose
landed in Jamaica about 800 are bows and there are
~ girls all ranging from II to 20 years of age OF
| old men and women tApre were none The cabin
OF the vessel is about six feet square formed by a
thin bulkhead, and small that no one can stand
/ upright. Into this foul den of the CAPTAIN were
| slowed the 40 naked grl- that monster and the
mate sleeping by turns in the same horrible state
Sleeping did say! Would that il had been go -
! This man the captain who is about thirty years of
age, stated that he had been engaged in the trade
| for considerable period and had made many sue
cesiul voyages, SO that although his personal loss
ON this occasion would amount To nearly $4,000 he
| should still have abundant means"
An Interesting fact in connection with this sub
| Jcct, is mentioned 10y both Drs Barth and Living
stone, as established in their travels in Central
and Southern Africa. 1t is that the internal slave
| trade in the interior of the continent WA. dennn.
dent entirely upon the foreign. and that when this
had ceased the internal trade and the wars deuen-
| dent upon it, had also ceased
| YoUSG ANPRIC..--A couple of young snrouts of
| American blood, made their appearances before a
Detroit Justice the other day, and requested to be
| united in the holy bands of matrimony Their
| ayas tut1 uin from hair I,,.l-
and fourteen They claimed right to demand the
| performance of the ceremony, theI young man
! tWlrling II ten spot around his finger with much
| nonchaance The young lady, holding up her
| hands, swore roundly that she was over fourteeu'
when IN walked the paternal ancestors OF the two
young hopefnls and general dsconcertion oftheir
| plans followed They were about being led of by
| the ears to their mammas, when Justice puriv
requested the young lady to explain how she dared
to take tho oath that she mad just taken, which he

stopped down. and unlacing little gater, drew
out piece Of paper which was written the word
fourteen On the strength of this she had sworn
that she was over fourteen
