AbySsinian Slaves.

The Abyssinian girls are remarkably
pretty. with large eyes and delicately-shaped
features. These girls are brought down
from the Gala country by the slave-dealers
from Abvssinian. That beautiful country,
which. had We not wantonly deserted 1t,
might have become Of great importance, Is
now prey to anarchy. The opposing
tribes are only too happy to sell their fe-
male prisoners to the Arab slave-traders.
These people bring down the young girls
in gangs by various routes, but the princi-
pal outlet is the Red Sea, at Massowa. \
great market is at Gallabat, the frontier
town Of Abyssinia. There / have seen
them crowded together in mat tents, wait
Ing for purchasers from those commissioned
to procure slaves by the wealthy Arabs and
Turkish officials. At Gallabat handsome
young girl of sixteen is worth about 915,
but the same girl at Cairo would fetch 940
or $50. The Abyssinians are much ad-
vanced race compared with the negroes of
Central Africa The women are very af-
fectionate and devoted to those who show
them kindness. Thus, as they combine
beauty with devotion, they are much sought
for, and command high price in the mark
ct. They are seldom purchased by COM
mon people, as their price is too high, and
they cannot earn money by bodily labor
like negresses, being too delicate and un-
able to sustain fatigue. Although they are
generally termed Abyssinians, (Habbes
heca,) | have never met with a true high
caste Abyssinian girl-these would be
christians whereas all [ have seen have
been Gallas-a Mahommedan race Many
|of these poor girls die from fatigue on the
desert journey from Gallabat to the sea-
coast. Those who reach Khartoum, or the
towns Of Lower Egypt, are sold to the
wealthy, and generally take high position
an the harems, often becoming the wives of
their purchasers. In the Soudan | have
|met several charming Abyssinian ladies,
who, having married European residents,
pave become perfectly civilized proving
|the race is capable of great advancement
