BEAUTY AT AUCTION.


Recruited.
A correspondent of the Paris Gaulois
describes a recent visit to slave sale in
Constantinoplc. Notwithstanding the
nominal abolition of the slave trade in
Turkey, through the efforts of the civil
lied European governments, it still con-
tinues in n furtive way. As long as the
harem exists, this trade will exist.
This sale was in house. All the
windows facing the street were closed.
The correspondent accompanied an
Egyptian friend and his valet in car
riage to the mosque of the sultan Mo-
hammed, at which point they turned
into narrow and complicated streets,
which finally became impossible. They
alighted before pile of mud which
could be crossed only on foot. Reach
ing the house, they were introduced in
to the selamlik, or chamber reserved
for male visitors. Here they found the
slave dealer standing, a short pipe in
hand. He was little old Tripoiitan,
Gassirgi-Mcssoud-Aga by name. AZ
ter the customary salutatlons, pipes and
coffee were offered, and taken with the
silence usual to Orientals before any
business transaction.
An ebony young cunuch soon entered
and whispered in Messoud's ear. The
latter made sign of acquiescence, and,
turning to the guests, said: ''Bouyou-

Ii is tossed in The teeth of the China
man that he is heathcn. that he j. an
opium-eater. that he sends his money
home. that lac does not bring his wife
and family with him. but does bring
prostitutes: that he is filthy. that the
quarters he inhabits are breeders OF dis
ease, that he is gambler. etc. 1t is Il
fair question TO ask. in the face of these
charges, whether the treatment mcted
out to this hcathen has been such
that he sees marked superiority of
christianity over hcathenism. About
how impressive is the Christian lesson
impaired to heathcn by the unrcbuked
toe of Il hoodlum's boot? What would
a heather naturally say Of Christiani-
ty that greets him with howl on his
landing and follows him with discrimi-
mating laws and regulations, and public
contempt, and private, ,unhindered,a abuse
during all the time of his residence
The charge of heathenism is just tri-
ile absurd. And again, if the China
man smokes opium, who drinks Whis-
key! If he has prostitutes, whose I'M
rebukcd example does he follow? II he
sends money home it is precisely what
the Irish have been doing, in the most
filial, brotherly and praisworthy man
ner for the last century. If he comes to
California without his wife, he does
simply what tens of thousands of Cal
ifornians have done since immigration
into this state began. If he is a gam
bier, how long is il since gambling
went out of fashion in California? II
his quarters are filthy, why does moi the
health-board, or why do not the city
authorities attend TO their duties.
We ask these questions not because we
suppose they decided anything. but be.
cause, in our ignorance. we would like
to know. In the East, the prejudice
against our brother John seems iust q
little unreasonable, and we want moro
light. We have been in the habit OF
welcoming all other nationalites. We
are strangely insensitive to the impor
tation of thousands of criminals and
scamps and scalawags from Europe and
we cannot yet feel sure that the inporta
tion of the Chinaman is not better
thing, on the whole. lie certainly i,
industrious, he minds his own business
and, so far ms we have seen him here, ,h(
does an honest days work, which il
more than can be said of Il good many
Christian laborers whom we have a
round us. OF one thing, at least, we ar,
sure. No people can hold large bod,
of men in contempt, and regard then
with hatred and treat them like beasts
without demoralizing themselves. Tha
thing has been tried, and in this coun
try, too. The Californians cannot afor,
TO have the Chinaman with them, unles
they can treat him like a man. The,
must either do this, or the Chinamai
must go. To hold a fellow-man in fix
ed contempt, to spit upon him umrc
bukcd, simply because he is of ano;he
race, or is supposed, in the competition
of life, to Interfere with ones prosperity
is simply to lapse from Christianity III
to barbarism. And that, in its owl
time, will produce results in which tn
Chinese will not be Interested, except Il

Dull BoYs.-Don't be discouraged.
Slow growth is often sure growth. Some
minds are like Norwegian pines. They
are slow in growth, but they are strik-
ing their roots deep. Some of the great
eat men have been dull boys. Dryden
and Swift were dull boys. So was
Goldsmith. So was Gibbon. So was
Sir Walter Scott. Napoleon at school
had SO much difficulty in learning his
Latin that the master said il would need
gimlet to get word into his head.
Douglas Jerrold was so backward in
his boyhood that at nine he was scarcely
able to read. Isaac Barrow, one of the
greatest divines the Church of England
has ever produced, was SO dull that his
father more than once said that if Goo
took away one of his children he hoped
ii would be Isaac, as he feared he would
never be fit for anything in this world
Yet that boy was the genius of the fam

ny Advertise!

People sometimes ask why does DR..
II. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, Y. Y, spends
so much money in advertising his fami-
ly medicines, which are so well known
and surpass all other remedies in poprl-
larity and sale. 1t is well known that
AT. Stewart considered it good policy.
and undoubtedly it paid him, to spend
many hundred thousand dollars in adj
vertising his goods, yet nobody ques-
toned the excellence of his merchandise
The grand secret of success lies in offer
ing only goods which possess merit TO
sustain themselves, and then through
liberal and persistent advertising make
the people thoroughly acquainted with
their good qualities. Men do not succeed
i'll amassing great fortunes, establishing
thriving and permanent business, and

A young Frcnchman who was much
importuned by creditors, locked himself
in his rooms and refused to open TO
any one but his intimate friends, who
were given a peculiar signal. The
other morning he kept perfectly
quiet, when his tailor knocked and
called out to to him, 81 know you are
within NJ. ". You are wrong in
not letting me in will not stir until
you open the door" X-smiled and
preserved a digniiied silence. Noon
came and although hungry, he did not
dare to open the door, as he saw through
the crack the feet of the tailor on guard
Night at length came on, and he could
not stand the hunger any longer, al.
though the tailor's feet were still to be
seen. lie ventured to open the door
and found pair of shoes which had
been put out TO be brushed, and whicl
he had mistaken for the tailor's feet.
