Slavery in Egypt.
From Fraser's Magazine.l


In Cairo the slave dealers (djellads) dis
tribute their stock among their agents in
various quarters of the city, and there,
although the police are supposed to be on
the watch to prevent it, buying and sell
ing go on under the thinnest veil of con-
cealment. An intending purchaser goes
to one Of the private but perfectly we'll
known entrepOts in which the dealers and
their slaves are lodged, and, after ex-
aiming the latter, selects what suits him.
haggles for time about the price, and
finally closes the bargain then and there,
or subsequently through a broker, who
receives a small commission for the lob.
The djellabs object to show their ware to
Europeans, unless they be introduced bv
a native who is not merely dragoman:
but with that voucher and the thin dis
guise Of a fez and Stambouiee coat a
sight of whatever is on hand may be
easily enough had. Franks are of course,
now forbidden by their own laws to buy
or hold slaves, but the prohibition is not
always regarded by residents in the ma
tive quarters OF the city, where, indeed,
single man cannot hire a house nor OBJ
tam lodgings unless he have female
slave Prices range from fI0 or El2 for
black boy or girl of as many years DID,
to t7O or tlOO for an Abyssinian girl of
from II to II or 10, and from $500 to
t8OO, or even G10O0 for high-class Cir
caSsan. Adult women slaves who have
already been in service are cheaper, I'M
less their skill in cookery, needlework or
some other useful art balance the vice of
temper or other grave defect, but for
which they are rarely resold. The price
of males above the age of childhood
varies from EGO or ESQ to 800 or GlOO
Abyssinian youths and men ranging con-
siderably above negroes. The neutral
class of eunuchs has a still higher value,
but these are now found in only the very
wealthiest Moslem families, the rigorous
prohibition which the law enforces against
their production within Egyptian terri
tory having greatly reduced the supply
and correspondingly heightened their
price. Till within few years ago boy
slaves were bought on their way down

the Upper Nile and mutilated at Assiout
and some other stations-Coptic priests
being among the most expert operators
but this practice has now been suppress
ed, and the whole Of the small yearly i'm
portation comes ready made from Kordo-
fan and Darfour. Most of the few who
reach Cairo are brought up from Con
stantinople, where no Turkish 'gentle-
mans" establishment is complete" with
out one or more of these neutral police.
1t may be added that the whole of the
slaves imported into Egypt readily adopt
the established faith, and soon become
the most bigoted and fanatical section of
the Moslem population.

The CITY of the Living.

In a long vanished age, whose varied story
No record has to-day
so long ago expired its grief and glory
There t1ourished, far away,
In broad realm, whose beauty passed all measure,
city fair and wide
Wherein the jewellers lived in peace and pleasure
And never any died
Disease and pain and DEATH those stern marauders,
Which mar worlds fair face
Never encroached upon the pleasant borders
of that bright dwelling place
No fear of parting and no dread of diving
Could ever enter there:
Nor murmuring for the lost no anguish crying
Made any face less fair.
Without the city's walls Death reigned as ever.
And graves rose side by side;
W lthln the jewellers laughed at his endeayor
And never any died.
Oh, happiest of all earths favored places,
y bliss to dwell therein
10 live IN the sweet light of loving faces
And fear no grave between
10 feel no death damp gathering cold and colder
Dlsputing ites truth
10 live on, never lowlier or older
Radlent III deathless youth
And hurrying from the worlds remotest quarters
tide of pilgrims flowed
Across broad plains and over mighty waters,
To find that blest abode
Where never death should come between and sever
Them from their loved apart
W here the mighty work, and win and live forever
Still holding heart TO heart
And so they lived, i'll happiness and pleasure
And grew i'll power and pride,
And did great deeds and laid up stores of treasure
And never any died.
And many years rolled on and saw them striving
With undated breath
And other years still found and left them living
And gave no hope of death.
Yet listen, hapless soul, whom angels pity,
Craving a boon like this
Mark how the jewellers in this wondrous city
Grew weary of their bliss
One and another who had been concealing
The pain of life's long thrall
forSook their pleasant places and came stealing
Outside the city wall;
Craving, with wish that brooked no more DENYING
So long had it been crossed,
The blessed possibility of dying
The treasure they had lost
Daily the current of rest seeking mortals
Sweled to a broader tide,
I'LL none were left within the city's portals
And graves grew green outside
Would it be worth the having or the giving
The boon OF endless breath
All, for the WEAKNESS that comes OF living
There is no cure but death
Ours We're indeed fate deserving pity
W ere that sweet rest denied
And few, methinks. would care to find the city
w here never any died.
