Slavery I'm Africa

1t would be difficult to find in any
records more gruesome story than that
told by Mr.. Hutley, who has long worked
in Africa under the London Missionary
Society. According to this observer,
who has moved among the people and
knows all their ways and all their
ncighborhood of Zanzibar is not dimin
ishing. The lamcnted Captain Brown
ing did something to SUPPRESS it between
the Zanzibar Islands and the mainland,
but it is doubtful whether the result of
his good influence will continue; and
even if it does, this is but an insignificant
branch of the trade. 1t is along the
routes of the interior that the chief
course of trade goes; and here, on the
route about the great lakes of these re-
gions, Mr.. Hutley has seen what he de-
scribes. In the first place, slaves and
ivory are literally the only articles of
commerce in that country, though il is
by no means an uninhabitable desert;
and of these, while ivory is becoming
scarcer, the supply of men and women.
of boys and young girls, is never-failing
The slaves go down from the interior
whenever the dealers have secured q
sufficiently large number,--1, 900 is a
common gathering, and of these an
immense proportion never reach the
coast ut all, but die of the exhaustion
and hunger resulting from such march.
Out of one lot of 800, only fifty reached
Unyanyembe, and though this is an cx-
cessve mortality, it is the common thing
for half the caravan to die off on the
road. Those that survive are doomed to
life of ill-usage; for, though the Arab
processes to treat his slaves as he treats
his animals, he extends to them little of
the provcrbial kindness under which his
horses thrive so well. The slaves are
often half-starved, and il they run away
in search of happier quarters the chances
are that they are soon recovered, and
the Arab then deals with them after the
manner of Legree. A "a raw or green
slave" we are told, is worth q good
Tower musket; or in some places his
value is that of an OK, while boy costs
three or four strings of beads. While
slaves are as cheap as this it is not likely
that q master will take the trouble to re-
strain his passion if troublesome con-
duct provoke him. The slave has not
even tho defense of being considered
valuable. To beat one TO death or to
shoot him, or to chain him TO log till
he comes near TO death, docs not cost
much; and it is satisfaction to the
masters rage and may be useful as an
example Ito encourage the rest"
