stroll up the market space, passing vend-
ers of poultry, and the scores of kueeling
camels, and come to q black slave, half
human, half monkey, beating on the
tightly drawn skins, over a pair of faDci-
fully decorated kettles. Wrapped in
battered white cloak hooding, his tightly
curled hair, exceedingly thick lips and
teeth so regular and pearly white that
Fifth avenue belle might envy him the
worries, certainly no more. The Darwin

kingdom, monkey to the man, very forci-
bly, impressed me as I walked about the
market place of Taugien last evening.
We weEt to the garden Of the Belgian
minister, and amidst the prodiRality of
verdure saw o dragon tree, which by
arithmetical calculation, estimating the
growth per year, ia proven TO be not lees
than three thousand years old. Twas
here WE met long tailed coat, wide
brimmed hat, raw hide shoes, and baggy
pantaloons, resting upon the form OF a
crestfallen, pride shattered, csdaverous
looking Frenchman. We shall meet him

The following article clipped from the

following him, whose days OF rest should have ap-

upon this exhausted specimen of suffering hui

ure and the health of her sailors on he pesteen
ti4l coasts of Africa with the object in view Of
putting stop tn the shipment of slaves, effort

! to prevent the trade setting in towards that cOun
try fr rom the interior. While Christi ans in Amer

Africa, even when requiring labor for the suhju-
CATION of the Wilderness no voice has been raised
or effort made to prevent the Mohammedans in
Morocco from indulg Nc, extensively suits
them, in the purchase of slaves. It may well be
doubted whether the prevention of slaves leaving
the shores of Africa has had any other fleet than
that of driving them into the hands of the mi

have been sacrificing life and property TO wipa out
the stain of slavery, the followers of Mob ahmed,

using it for the qualification of their indolent md
