Egypt and the Slave Trade.

Slavery dies hard. There is a strug-
gle in Brazil between those who would
hasten the operation of the gradual
emancipation law and the slave owners
who want to throw obstacles in its way,
and even render it a dead letter. In
Egypt, after earnest efforts have been
made to break up the slave trade on the
Upper Nile, we find the Khedive's
Ministers taking the back track, and
declaring that slavery is a necessity to
Egypt, and that the efforts in behalf of
emancipation should be stopped. It
may be that the protecting powers of
Europe may conclude from this that
"the basest of kingdoms needs re-
modelling, and call for a Ministerial
change. The export of slaves from the
west coast in European and American
vessels has been stopped, but Arab
dhows still carry off loads of victims
from some of the obscure parts of the
east coast. Not long ago a brave British
naval officer lost his life in a fight with
one of these semi-piratical craft. In the
interior, as in former days, of
poor wretches are still gathered, yoked
together, half starved and beaten, to be
carried to the seaboard with the hope of
smuggling them off to Arabia. The
emancipation of the slaves in the Portu-
guese colonies, however imperfectly
carried out, the pledges of the Sultan Of
Zanzibar to England, and the past policy
of Egypt, oil unite to show, however,
that light is breaking after years OF
darkness. The opening of the continent
to legitimate business, which is steadily
going on, will also hasten the destruction

however, and the Egyptian reaction will
be a source of trouble. The sentiment
of C~hristendom is nevertheless so strong
and united that the Khedive and his
Cabinet will be brought to terms and
forced to keep their promises. But for
the threatened uprising of the fanatical
Moslems we should expect to hear of an
immediate and vigorous protest against
the declaration in favor of perpetuating
human bondage.-Cincinndti Gazette.

from the grave and followed the process

gate. His friends tried to comfort him,
but felt how inadequate is all earthly
consolation to a heart bereaved of a
mother-in-law. "What were her last

inquire. The poor sufferer raised his

IT is generally believed hat "a Nh.
Richardson, of New Jersey, first intro
duced lung plague from England, in a
shipment of short-horns, and, discover
ing the true nature Of the disease,
stamped it out by the slaughter of his
whole herd, valued at SIC, 600. Asequel
to this is that some of the neighbors had
their stock infected by using the hay
taken from O barn where the diseased
cattle had been. There are, however,
no recorded facts by which this story can
be corroborated.

The Cow C HaisfedO

A man came to the office with a black
eye, q strip of court plaster across his
cheek, n arm in q sling, and as he
leaned on o crutch and wiped the per-
SEPARATION away from around q lump on
his forehead, with q red cotton handker-
chief, he asked if the editor was in. We
noticed that there was quite q healthy
smell of stock-yards about the visitor,
but thinking that in his crippled condi-
ton we could probably whip him, if
worse came to worse, we admitted that
we were in.
"Well, Iwant to stop my paper" said
he, as he sat down on n edge OF a chair,
as though it might hurt. "Scratch my
name right of. You are responsible for
my condition"
Thinking the man might have been
taking our advice to deaf men, to always
walk on a railroad track if they could
find one, we were preparing to scratch
him off without any argument, believing
that he was q man who knew when he
had enough, when he spoke up as fol-
lows:
"The amount of it is this. I live out
in Jefferson County, and I come in on
the Northwestern Road, just to get re-
creation. I am q farmer, and keep cows.

she was a companion, would give twice

her, and the next morning after Tread

went to the barn to milk. I noticed tn,
old COW seemed to be bashful, and fright

politely, Isaid, Madame, excuse these g
ing improperly of the request, but vii
you do me the favor to hoist?' At tn
same time I tapped her gently O tn
flank with my plug hat, and putting tn
tin pail on the floor under her I sat dow
on the milking-stool."
"Did she hoist?" said we, rathe
anxious to know how the advice ha,
worked.
"Did she hoist? Well, look at me
and see if you thing she hoisted. Say
I tell you in confidence, and I don
