These banditti are Unyamweze, arm

These banditti are Unyamweze, arm
ed with guns purchased at Unyanyembe
and Bagamoyo, and perfectly acquaint-
ed with Arab commerce and the most
profitable wares. They band themselves
for the desperate purpose of enslavlng
all tribes and peoples which are, from
want of means and organizations, too
weak to resist them No country offers
such a field for these gangs of kldnap-
srs as Marunhu, where every small vii
lage is independent, and generally at
variance with its neighbor. Almost all
the adult males are slain in the most
cruel manner, and their bodies are at
terward hacked and dismembered, and
hung up ON trees along the road, that
the terror of such fate may render viii
lagos not yet attacked more submissive
and unresisting. The women and
youths are too valuable to Stay, and the
Arabs require them.
PRINCIPAL AND AGENT.
The owner of $50 of these poor, hun
cry, skeletonized slaves, whom we met
at the Arab crossing-place in Ugubha,
was Said bin Salim, the Governor OF
Unyamyembe and the former chaperon
of Burton and Spoke, on their journey
to Ujiji in 1889. 1t was the third
batch Of this year, 1876, which has thus
been consigned to Said bin Salim, an
officer in the employ of Burghash, Prince
of Zanzibar. | have reflected much
upon the singularity of this fact. Prince
Burghash lately made treaty with
Great Britain, wherein-but you know
all about it. 1 believe it had something
to do with prohibiting trade in slaves,
and a promise-a written promise
from Seyed Burghash was obtained that
he would do all in his power to stop the
trade. Do you not think it singular
that Said bin Salim, an officer of Seyed
Burghash, should be engaged in this
condemned traffic? l have meditated
duly on the excuses which might be
made for Said bin Salim, such as ext
gencies of business necessities of the in
terror, domestic services. But, just
Heavens!. what can this Governor OF
Unyanyembe want with 500 or 60C
women and children? l feel tempted
to say strong things against this man,
Said bin Salim, but | am restrained by
my promise. This much will say, that
Said bin Salim, to the best of my knowl
edge and belief, is one of the principal
slave-traders in Africa, and Said bir
Salim is an officer of Prince Burghash
and more than that, that Said bin Salin
is the most trusted agent of the authori
ties at Zanzibar.

ordinary person, and of much more than
average determination. There are some
people of wealth in cities who can de-
volve all but slight superintendent on
others whom they employ, and can thus
obtain opportunity for serious work,
and continue their social life as well;
but people of wealth are few beside
those of the great mediocrity of means,
who, with much to perform themselves,
can find time for but little more than
keeping up an appearance before the
world and keeping in the world. The
city people have a quicker wit and
more varied power, perhaps; but
the last actress, the last picture,
the last piece of music, the last great
calamity or sensation, are all of more
lively interest to the average of them
than the great subjects that give phan-
tasmagoria to the dream of the average
of the frontier people. 1t is not to be
denied that the best intelligence of the
best cities is, or ought to be, the best in
the world; but in speaking of cities we
mean congregated society generally,
rather than the chief great centers of
congregated society. But in one and
all the fact that amusement aud instruc-
ton are constantly provided, must re-
act upon the power Of producing it.;
one becomes recipient and not a crea-
tor; while, as there is comparatively
but little differentiation between man
and man, individuality is far less strong
! ly apparent where no man or woman
has another constantly by as model.
Solitude has its uses; it is a vast
reservoir, out of which the soul sucks
strength as the earth sucks sunshine out
of the sky. Danger there keeps ones
powers upon the alert; the necessity OF
providing ones daily bread, with moth
! ing to fall back on in case of failure,
stimulates all the faculties; and for the
rest, one is so remote from the world
that one can Judge it. Rather, then, than
surprise at the mental quality and at
tainment of the women Of the frontier,
we should be astozished if they were
not all that study and thought can make
them, for they have about them the Gle.
ments that produce greatness, and fiji
them to be noble in themselves and
mothers of noble race.-Harper S
! Bdzar.

Mr.. j. p. HUBBARD, of Greenwich,
N. T., has a fine place in that village,
the result of a unique and laudable sys-
tenn of financiering. In his green and
salad days Mr.. Hubbard, instead Of
blowing tobacco clouds, put aside the
ordinary daily cost of cigars into fund
for future use, This fund has enabled
him to build beautiful residence with
grounds tastefully laid out. Young
smokers may apply the moral.

Louisiana Investigation.

WASH GToN. Jan. 30.
Before the house Committee on powers
and privileges, to-day. Louis NJ. Kenner
was recalled aud testif d as to the vacancy
10 the Louisiana returning board. DIR.
Kennedy, who had bien proposed to fill
IL, was democrat of good standing. Wells
and Anderson were against electing him.
Witness did not know the reasons. He
was not opposed to the doctor. Witness
knew Hayes was elected by throwing out
votes. They we're thrown out because
there was evidence of intimidation. Did
not know of anybody who was forced 10
vote against his deliberate judgment, but
the board had some testimoI y that persons
voted the democratic ticket through fear.
Qies ion-Were the re half dozen suoL2
Aus~er-I cann,t say.
Mr.. Field called attention TO the fact
that t returns Of Go precincts IN L luisi-
an were thrown out, thus excluding TO-
2S0 Tiden tes, and in reply TO tundry
questions witness said he tn ught there
were 10 instances in which bffiduvits of in
timldalion came in with returns. Some of
the other tfil lavis came from persons who
were afraid to make them in their respect

some allidavlt' ncernIng dis,urbaI ces.
Mr. Field asked the witness wi ether cor
rupt Influences were cha G d other than
intimidation. Witness answered there were
charges of bribery, such as giving voters
suits of clothes or shoes, and great many
perst ns had been driven away from their
homes in the country, and took refuge in
New Orleans. Witness nad no knowledge
of any part Of an original return having
been altered nor had he knowledge that the
board had any consultation on that subject,
or that there was any fraud by the board
or any member thereof There was 10

counts of proceedings were published in
