TIE TRAFFIC IN SLAVES IN Egypt The
correspondent of the LONDON Daily Telegraph,
who accompanies Sir Barrie Frcrc's expedition
to take steps for the abolition Of the slave
trade in Africa, in a recent letter, sends the
following notes Of the traffic in slaves in Egypt
Every class of society, from Pa-has and Brys
down to petty shop keeper, lndulgrs in the
luxury and vice which it affords. No one can
pretend 10 rcspectabiity--a sort of social fran
chi.c--wi' hout this properly qualification. No
unmarried man can obtain lodgings in n respect
able quarter Of u town unless he has wife or u
female slave. Thu, men who visit largc centres
OF bu ,lress and WHO are com pelled To live there
Among the people for some tine, buy female
slaves, whom they resell or otherwise dispose Of
wacn they leave Tor their homes. All this taken
together with the extent OF country and popula-
ton warrants the conclusion TINT the absorption
nt slaves in Egypt is great There are no open
market in CAIRO, sucn rs the mart nj Ianzlbar,
for the sale of slaves: but | am informed by ra-
livcs that private esstAb shmcnts for the purpose
abound in the NATL c town, whore Al Egyptian
can bug slaves without any dit, ulty Whatever.
Such i also the cas,. in every town in the intc
ror, where the traffic is more open There are
two -accs Of slaves sold in Egypt the white and
blAck. The former are imported from Turkey,
are highly priced. and are bought only by the
rich They are generally msde concubines. OF
course young and good looking girls fctcn high
prices amounting in some cases ~ thousands Of
pounds Before being sod, they arr usually
taught certain accomplishments valued By Turk
ish and Egyptian voluptuari:s, such Us singing
in some cas- music, an1 invariably the ga't and
behavior Of high Class lady. As Il the case
with women in these countries, the charms Of
these girls fade al an age which in cold climates
is considered young. and they have to make
| room ii. the iarcm for fresh victims.
