Selecting Husbands.

A Turkish slave-ship was captured
the other day by an English vessel,
and the slaves it contained, consisting
of seventy women and ten men, were
liberated. The men volunteered into
the Egyptian army, but it was more
difficult TO dispose of the women.
Under the treaty concluded between
the English Government and the Khe-
dive, the importation and expectation
of slaves are forbidden but the de-
tention and sale of slaves in the cOun-
try are permitted for about six years
longer in Egypt and eleven years i'll
the SOudan. Several officers accord
ingly came to the Pasha of the dis
trict with offers to buy some of the fe-
male slaves, but the Pasha declared
that he would not part with them I'M
less they got married. He then an
nounced that any soldier or civilian
wishing to marry one of the slaves
would have to pay six thalers for her
dOwry, but that the women would be
allowed to choose their husbands from
among those who should present them
selves for the purpose. A great num-
Der of men, chiefly soldiers, assembled
on the day appointed for the selection.
The women were so shy that they
"huddled together like a flock OF
Sheep" and could not be induced to
move. At last one of them, taking
courage, advanced slowly to a black
Egyptian Sergeant, who was anything
but young or handsome, and put her
hand on his shoulder as a sign that he
was the man she wished to marry.
Her example was instantly followed by
the other women, who rushed forward
to choose their husbands as if they
feared to be too late. 1t was now the
mems turn to say whether they accept
ed the selection. All were satisfied
but five, and even the five women who
were consequently obliged to choose
again were ultimately provided with
husbands.

John Doe and
Richard Roe.
The above was the title to q little
case on Judge Beams docket yesterday
morning. AS John Doe and Richard
Roe are names that frequently appear
on the Justices docket, but little atten-
ton was paid to the matter. However
during the day a very distinguished at
torney in fact made his appearance at
the bar Of the court, and asked that
the above cas- be called up. The case
was called, and the counsel for defense
and attorney in fact, Col. Murrin, pro-
ceeded to address the court in behalf of
his clients. His argument was pointed,
brief and business-like. 1t included
the entire statement of defense, which
was a plea of guilty to the charge Of
fast driving, and a request to have the
fine and costs assessed at once. In con-
sideration of the logic and eloquence Of
the attorney in fact, the court put the
fines and costs at the lowest figures,
namely, S13 each. The attorney in
fact produced the funds, the judge re-
turned the change, and the attorney in
fact departed from the court with con-
sciousness of duty nobly performed
and assurances Of heartfelt apprecia-
ton of inestimable services on the part
Of two clients.
