The Slave Trade In Egypt.

Notwithstanding the laws, treaties and
decrces for the suppression of the slave
trade in Egypt, and even the activity
displayed by the Egyptian Government
for its extinction, dispatches recently re-
ceived at the Department Of State from
our Consul General ut Cairo would seem
to prove that the inhuman traffic, al
though not carried on as openly, is piled
as energetically as formerly. The slave
trade is carried on by the Arab caravans
which, while nominally trading in legiti-
mate merchandise between Egypt and
Dariour, in Central Africa, run the slaves
into upper Egypt to the city OF Asslout
generally, on the Nile, about go miles
above Cairo, where the Lybian range OF
mountains run nearly down to the river.
The slavers secrete the slaves in tho an
cient grottoes and tombs in these mount
aims until they are disposed of and
distributed throughout the country.
The activity Of young Swiss attached
to the American Mission at Assiout re-
Gently resulted in the seizure and manu-
mission of IS slaves and the incarceration
of 35 Arabs, charged with being slave
dealers. Through the representation oi
the British Consul General at Cairo
there being treaty for the suppression
of the slave trade between Egypt anC
England-three hundred soldiers were
dispatch to Assiout, the caravan sur
rounded and the seizure above noted e;
fected. Although it was well understood
that this caravan had brought more thar
1000 slaves into the country, the mos
rigid search failed to discover more thai
GS, the remainder having been disposed
of and safely distributed before the ar
rival of the soldiers. OF the 69 person
manumitted some were seized in thei
native country while sleeping in thei
tents, others were borne off while tend
ing their sheep and cattle in the fields
some of the girls were forced away from
their husbands and still others wer'
originally slaves and sold to the caravan

The Transit Of Venus.

Well, the great astronomical event
has come and gone, and scientists all
over the world have been able to make
observations upon Venus as it passed
across the face of the sun. The iull re-
suit OF their studies, diagrams, and pho
Biography will not be known for several
years. Several curious facts have, how
ever. been given to the public. The
spectroscope has revealed the fact be-
yond all dispute, that there is water on
that planet. 1t was known before that
there was n great deal of moisture in
its atmosphere, but the presence of
water in the form Of oceans aud lakes
makes it reasonable to suppose that
there is life on the surface Of Venus
Heat and moisture are indispensable
factors in the development OF vegetable
and animal forms, and Venus certainly
appears to have both. Prof. Langley,
OF Pittsburgh, made very important
discovery. He found bright spot on
the edge of the planet which must have
covered nearly two thousand miles of
the surface. This spot might have been
huge mountain, or monster volcano,
for It seemed to be an illuminated pro-
tuberance upon the face OF the planet.
Within short time the astronomers will
be able to give us the almost exact dis
tance between the earth and the sun.
This was the primary object OF all the
observations taken on the 9th Of Decem-
ber. When once it is known how far
the sun is from the earth, 1t will be an
easy matter to find out the precise dis
tances Of all the members Of the solar
system from each other. Indeed, the
full results OF the labors Of our astrono-
mers may not be comprehended for q
century. 1t is said Of the Greeks thai
their discoveries in geometry seemed
objectless as they were Of no immediate
utility, but they proved 10 be Of enor

= thousand years later in making naviga

r OF geometrical problems seemed OF n
more value to the average Greek thai
: is the solving of chess problem to-day
, and vet what world of gratitude doe
the race owe to the Grecian geometn-
, CLANS. In passing. 1t may be remarked
that In the spectroscope wero many lines
never seen before. II should be under
stood that every line shows certain
neculiaritjes which indicate the presence
Of a specific metal or oher material.
The spectroscope reveals the fact that
the atmosphere Of the sun contains
hydrogen, iron, sodium, and many other
substances common to this earth. These
have also been found in Venus, but will
them other lines, for which there y
nothing analogous, so far as is known
in the composition Of the earth.-Demt

Rejected Manuscripts.

Rejected contributors are sometimes
avenged. A scotch newspaper, the Green
0ck advertiser, has ceased to exist, after
T. life of seventy-eight years. This paper
will be remembered for one thing onl.
it rejected Campbell's poem of Hohenlin-
den, on the ground that it was mot up
to the mark" Campbell himself thought
lightly of the poem, it is said, until ne
was assured by Sir Walter Scott that u
was one of the finest things OF the KIND
tbot he ever read. Since that time, tho
noem % has been worn out by the myriads
Of school-boys who have spoken 1t IN

H.Jane Eyre" was written in the grey old
parsonage under the Yorkshire hills; the
rouch notes. sketched hasty in pencil,
were Transcribed in neat hand as legible
os nr;nt. and the manuscript, in its brown
paper wrapper, was sent OIL from the sta
tion-house at Kleighley to publisher after
nubl;sber. only to find its way back again,
i.retuned with thanks" till the packet,
scored all over with publishers names,
and well-nigh worn out by its travels,
found its way into the hands Of Messrs.
Smith & Elder with stamped envelope
inside for reply. This story Of Jane
Eyre" is, with authors who cannot find q
publisher, one Of the standing sources o
consolation, and it is very striking in
stance Of the loose way in which publish
ers' readers now and then look through
manuscripts that find their way into 9th
er hands.
