Central Acrica-,he Slave Trade

To THE EDITOR 0 THE TIMES.
Sir,-The writer of the leading article
upon the African slave trade in The Times
Of to-day touches upon the only true solur
ton OF the question when he tells us that
the first step in the prevention of the slave
trade is "tO show to the chiefs that they
can turn their people to a better and
more profitable use than that of selling
them to the dealers" words almost iden-
teal with those in which Livingstone
20 years before pointed out the only
efficient method of removing this gigan-
tic evil from Equatorial Africa. AS /
have recently returned from Zanzibar
and can speak from some personal expert
enCe. may | be allowed to draw the atten-
ton of your readers to an attempt to bring
about these results which has hitherto
been attended with remarkable success
1t is the formation Of Self-SuStaining com
munitieS Of released slaves in the countries
whence they were originally brought by
the shareholders, in order that by their
example ald influence they may teach to
the surrounding people the advantages Of
civilization. Two great difficulties have
always attended oar efforts to suppress
the slave trade. First. the difficulty Of
etfectualIy putting a stop to it AID, Sc
condly, the disposal OF the slaves when
released.
| venture to think that the plan of the
Universities Mission provides a solution
for both these difficulties. 1t is simply as
follows =
As soon as a captured sllve dhow is
brought into the harbour of Aanzibar the
slaves on board are handed over to Her
MaieSty'S Consul, and, after receiving
their letters of freedom, as many as there
is room for are provided with food, shelter,
and clothing by the UniverS ties Mission.
They are then taken to an estate belonging
to the mission near Zanzibar, and each
couple is given an allotment of ground and
a cottage, and they are taught how to use
their newly-acquired freedom, as quiet,
Well-behaved citizens, end prepared to
take their part in the formation of self
sustaining colonies on the mainland from
which they originally came. The children
are educated, some with q view to their
becoming teachers others are taught
trades, in order that no instrument of CT
Vilization may be wanting III their new
homes.
After spending some time in this way,
as soon as they are considered fit to take
their part in the new settlement, they are
moved up in bodies of from fifty to q hun.

from which they were originally taken as
possible, and there formed into colonies,

Like those of every preceding day of this week,
tbe speculatlye movements i'll stocks to-day were
spasmodic and cratic Two or three stocks at
time commanded the concentrated atten-
tion of dealers and when that general
attention was diverted to two or three other
stocks those stocks that before were active
lapsed into duIness. To-day, however, there was
less than the usual number OF reactions, and the
higher figures once established generally were well
maintained. The special favorites OF the
day, and the stocks to which the trad
ing most frequently returned after short pilgrim
ages around the whole list we're Denver and Rio
Grande, Louisville and Nashville, Northern Pacific
preferred and the Wabashes. These stocks recorded
the best advances of the day. There are other
stocks, however, which are worthy of men
ton because of an exhibition of strength,
and among them are Reading. Erie. Missouri
Pacific Union Pacific and Missouri, Kan

Denied the Ownership.

A dignified old gentleman entered g
Paris railway station, laid down a bulky
valise while he bought ticket, and passed
on to the train, forgetting his luggage. A
young fellow who noticed the oversight
seized the valise and made off with it. He
was arrested and the contents of the valise
examined. 1t appeared that the owner
was wealthy landowner who lived at St.
German with his wife and children. BE
was telegraphed for, and came. The car.
pet-bag was opened before him in court
1t contained $500 in gold, some bills and a
package of love-letters from a well-known
Vaudeville actress, with her portrait. The
old gentleman stoutly denied having ever
seen the valise or the love-letters before
There was nothing to do but release the
lucky thief, and permit him to keep the

words to enable those who have talent in
any particular direction to utilize that
talent and thus secure income from it.
A visit to these rooms can hardly
fail to please every one, for
if the art work, on the one side,
fails in interest, the array of mince-
meat, pickles and jellies, on the other,
must commend itself to the most practical
of visitors.
Orders for fine artistic work are taken,
or if plain sewing only is desired, those
who wish it can learn at the rooms of those
ready to do it.
This society asks and should receive the
interested support of all our ladies, not
only the lovers of the beautiful in art, but
also of all who desire to encourage home
talent among women.
