Besides some routine business, agreeing to the
report of the conference committee on the small
pox bill, and refusing to admit the petition of
the Hampden county commissioners which the
house sent up, the senate did nothing but de-
bate and vote upon the Highland railway bill
and that was enough, for they were al it more
than three hours. The gallery and floor were
crowded with listeners, for no question has
brought up a greater lobby force this session
than this. The leading speakers were Senators
Wakefield and Torrey against the bill, and Gen.
Whitney and Mr.. Long for it. This matter has
been so thoroughly discussed that nothing new
can be said about it, and probably nobody's
mind or vote was changed by the debate this af-
tie noon. The yeas and nays which follow con-
stitute the only fresh element added to the mat
ter. The bill was ordered to a third reading by
a vote of fifteen yea TO eleven nay. Absent or
not voting fourteen. General John L. Swift
and Moody Merrill, two chiefs of the third
house," left the senate chamber with faces fair
ly glowing with qualification while Bates and
Powers retreated together looking quite differ
emily; but the fight will probably be renewed.
The house passed TO be engrossed the senate

insurance companies to stand on an equality with

The people of Illinois are congratu lating
themselves on the possession of legislature,
not only the best they have ever had. but as
they claim, il we understand some of their
seemingly extrayagant eulogies, the most able
honest and unselfsh which ever assembled any.
where. 1t would be as hard to disproye this, if
anybody desired to do it, as TO substantiate it !;
but, without conceding so much, there is no
doubt that the legislature which has lust adj
Journed at Springfield is greatly superior to its
predecessors, and probably to most of the sim
liar bodies in other states. Governor Palmer in
his parting message complimented it on its pa
tient industry, its fidelity TO constitutional prn-
ciples, its freedom from the slightest suspicion
OF corruption, and an independence Of action
looking only to the maintenance of its own
just authority without interference with
the proper functions of other depart.
ments of the government. The Chicago
papers say that usually the final adjournment
has brought sense eff relief, because in the
hemeward fight of members from the capital,
every intelligent observer saw the end of foul
jobbery; but there has this year been no intima-
tion of such thing, and the legislature has
been every way above reproach. The lobby has
vanished: partly perhaps because it would be
useless to practice its arts on body of men so
upright and intelligent, and more because the
constitutional prohibition of special legislation
removes the motive for its exertions. This is
all very pleasant news, and tends to confirm the
impression that Illinois is fortunate in her new
constitution and in the general disposition of
her peoplel 10 look sharply after the character of
their elective officers. We should be glad to
think the millennium had dawned there; but
other news from the state leads us to doubt

WORCESTER
SATURDAY. APRIL 10. 1879.

Among the items of late news is one making
known that England is seeking to exterminate
the slave trading carried on in eastern Africa
by Arabians. In this matter the people Of
Oman subject to the sultan of Muscat are said
TO be the chief offenders; but it may be that the
Arabian slave traders are not all from Oman.
They traverse eastern Africa in every direction
as traders in all sorts of available goods; and
the slaves they secure are sold in Persia, and in
cities and districts on the Euphrates. The sui
tan of Muscat has treaties with the United
States, England, and France, and each of these
treaties provides for a suppression of the slave
trade, but, at the same time agrees that the poo
pie of Oman may transport slaves from Zanzi-
bar to Muscat for household purposes merely.
This concession has been used to cover a practi-
cal disregard Of the prohibition contained in the
treaty. Therefore England seeks to abolish
1t entirely. The president expresses sympathy
with this purpose, and will do what he can TO
aid it; and, of course, he will be sustained by
congress in any reasonable measures that may
b. proposed.
The later discoveries have brought to light the
fact, that the elevated central regions of Africa
are very beautiful and very fertile, generally
much'lcss unhealthy than the coast, and capable
of becoming very important to the world if con-
trolled by the influences OF civilization. But,
for ages, Africa has been the prey of slave trad
ers. The western coast below the Sahara has
been haunted and ravaged by the slave trading
villany of Europe and America This has been
almost wholly suppressed. 1t may be that an
seasonal kidnapping pirate still goes to that
Coast in the interest of Cuban slavery. On the
eastern coast, the most active and persistent
slave traders have been the Arabians and Egyp
tahs and the most infamous the Portuguese,
whose power and opportunity to make them
selves infaiGous in that part of the world has
been greatly reduced. The day is not very dis
tant, probably, when Egyptian and Arabian
slave trading will be suppressed, Tor the iufu-
ence that promises to destroy it constantly gain
strength and activity, from Suez to the Cape Of
Good Hope.

BY virtue of a constitutional provision the
members of the New York legislature are paid
al the rate of three dollars per day, but except
when time is occupied in the trial of an i'm
parchment, no member may receive more than
three hundred dollars for his attendance during
the whole of an annual session. This provision
is accepted as practically fixing limit to the
length of the sessions, which they rarely ex-
coed. Wednesday Of this week was the last OF
the hundred days, and much of the important
work of the session is still incomplete. The
legislature, if this work is 10 be done at ALL
must do it at its own charges. The impeach-
ment of some Of the corrupt judges, however,
measure imperatvely demanded, need not be
done gratuitously. The state will pay for the
time so employed, and, il the result should be
that which every intelligent person knows it
ought to be, and yet which few who have OBJ
served the course of the present legislature can
confidently expect, the money will be much
more probably spent than most of that used for
pliepurposes in New York

London paper says that Bismarck proposes
10 invite an International postal congress to as.
semble in Berlin, to discuss the present postal
arrangements Of the world and that be is pre-
pared to lay before it the following propositions
as the basis Of general convention: That all
the states of Europe, including Asiatic Russia
and Asiatic Turkey, the United States, Canada
and Algeria shall form one postal union; that
between all the countries embraced in this
union there shall be adopted a uniform rate of
letter postage OF two pence per half ounce; that
the rate on newspapers, printed matter, pat
terms, etc, shall be one penny for every two
ounces; that the rates to any country not in
Guided in the postal union, shall be double those
above given; that for registered letters to any
part OF the world there shall. be an additional
fee OF two pence. The paper which publishes
the above statement, thinks the scheme feasible,
and that England would consent if the other
nations would concur in it. Whether or not
Bismarck has such plan in view, the proposal
would do him no discredit. Its value might be
increased by the addition of general system
for the exchange of money orders like those
now existing between the United States and
some European nations.

HUMoRs OF THE Book TRADE.-The hui
mors of the book trade have never had fair
showing, and we live in hope that some compe-
tent person will one day do justice to the sub
iect in a volume. Much of the fun of the trade
springs from the misunderstanding or confusion
Of titles. Every one knows how frequently,
few years ago, booksellers received orders for
'ln Garden" "Enoch Arden" being the book
wanted. Once a booksellers boy made the
round of our jobbng book stores in a vain
search for a copy of "Ihe Hen Which Croweth"
When it was ascertained that the call on his
order-boOk was, in fact, for "The Hour Which
Cometh, his demand was speedily answered and
he was admonished to take lessons in reading
manuscript. Notlong ago gentleman who takes
superficial views OF things, seeing in bookstore
a copy of +. c. Burnand's "More Happy
Thoughts read the title "More's Happy
Thoughts and supposing the volume to be a
collection OF Sir Thomas More's pious medita-
tons, bought and sent it as an appropriate gift
10 a devout friend. A firm IN this city once re-
ceiyed an order for "Homer's Odyssey, if there
is such a book" One day last month book
sellers boy entered a jobbng house in New
York, and, referring TO his pickup book, d"
called for copy Of "Who's Your Schoolmas-
ter" Mr.. d.. laughing at the boys mistake
produced a copy of Mr.. Eggleston's capital
book, "The Hoosier Schoolmaster" But the
youth refused TO take tit was not the book
wanted-and, opening his "pck-up book" he
triumphantly showed the written order for
"Who's Your Schoolmaster." He would not be
convinced, and departed TO seek elsewhere the
