SLAVERY IN EGYPT,

Khartoum Letter to the New York Herald.
Being anxious to see Berber domestically,
I caused it to be reported that I wished to
buy female slave. There were no public
markets., SO became acquainted with Syr-
ian merchant.
The merchant was sitting in his store, the
most elegant in town, drinking sherbet and
smoking dubuque. He was sleek Syrian,
arrogating to himself the nationality of
Greek for the purpose of an epheme raj re
spectability. He conducted me few yards
distant. down narrow lane, knocked at a
tumble-down gate, and we walked into the
midst of his harem.
It was the first time I had beheld human
beings for sale. The first object [ saw was a
monkey, in whose face detected strayed
beautiful desert gazelle, which we afterwards
bought for 50. An Ekhnin dog-which after
wards cut his incissors on the leg of Mr..
Morrls-a large, shaggy, ferocious beast, was
entertaining the Earem by his hideous yells.
This was portion of the scenery in a double
court of mud palace in the city of Berber
at two O'Clock in the afternoon.
"What kind of a slave do you want ?" ask
ed the merchant
"That depends"
but male or female :"
ga female - I replied promptly, wishing
to see the merchandise.
While this collOquy was proceeding we
neared the second court, and there I saw u
handsome, dark-haired woman of about
twenty, surrounded by four coal black ne
crosses.
"What is your price for this one % said,
pointing to the beauty.
''She? That is my wife"

The merchant and his lady then called out
the slaves to be inspected. But they were
timid, and had scattered in all directions,
standing with their faces to the wall. They
would not come. Finally the madame per-
suaded the youngest, a small, thirteen year
old Abyssinian, to present herself. She was
covered with but a single loose garment.
She was directed to denude herself of this

''HoW much for her?"

A CHILLY NIGHT.

From the Newburg IN. " Journal.
Policeman Badger, of the Tenth Station,
had bit of experience the other night which
he is not fond of talking about. It was past
midnight as he was leisurely pushing his
beat through Jessup street, and as he came
opposite to Drayton & Fegg's jewelry store
he observed CLEANS of light through the
chinks of the shutters, and he raped at the

Badger said ''good night" and pursued his

An hour afterward Badger passed through

jewelry store. It didn't look right, and he
banged the door loudly.

The door was opened and Policeman Bad

''Come right up to the stove, policeman.
Excuse me a moment"
The man took the ashpan from the bottom
of the stove, and carried it down cellar and
emptied it, and wheb he had returned and
wiped his hands, he said with smile
"Chilly night, isn't it"
'Yes."

And the man in the buster produced a
