place where the trade is carried on
and settled). The corredore generally receives
twenty markers and counters for each case of
gin or demiohn of spirits Each counter repre-
sents measure The cOrredore is present at the
measuring and accompanies the native trader,
who receives an order for every measure that he
measures at the fetiche: the cOrredore takes notes
of these orders and sends a counter with each
one, which is kept in a drawer until the number
is complete. If the negro has done much trade,
through the intervention of the lngster, who
pays in the the fetiche, he will embezzle so much
per measure, If the white man does not consent to
this robbery, the negro is robbed of like amount
when passing through the village of the cOrredOre,
and the corredOre pays himself by not giving an
account of the goods which he receives to attract
trade, and then goes to some other merchant.
The kroboys are then Immediately sent out on
different trade routes, and the corredore is, in
very short time taken and put in irons. The
chief of the village is then made responsible for
the corredore, and must pay for him. If the
chief takes no notice Of it, men or women be
longing to the same village are tied
and made to keep with the cor
redore, who is in chains The king and chiefs
of the village likewise responsible for the
kroboys of the white man if any of them run
away. For the simple reason of the kroboys
having passed through a village, the inhabitants
thereof, although wholly innocent, are put in
chains, and remain in chains until the kroman
is returned and until the villages through which
he passed have paid for him.

Ore of the most pathetic pictures Of the
presidential canvass is the sight of General Den

put through ambling pace for the Demo
cratic nomination. General Denver is an ami
able old gentleman from Ohio He was Gov
ernor of Kansas in border rufian times, and has
seen honorable service in both the Mexican war
and the war of the rebellion He came to Wash
ington after the war and acquired a large for
tune in the prosecution of claims. He is rich
respectable, and was enjoying the comforts of
an honorable old age when the one weakness of
his life befell him-the fever of presidential am
bition. Beguiled by crowd of half-baked and
hungry would be politicians, he is regularly bled
every four years to pay for the expenses of a
campaign that does not exist except in his i'm
agination. Nearly every day some new circular
is gotten up lauding the virtues of General Den
Yer, if he patent medicine. 1t is moth
ing to the friends of this socalled boom that
not one man in a thousand knows who Denver
is Tonight new circular sent out, Civ
ing reports of a conversation with Packer, of
Virginia; Cox. of New York; Wood of Indiana
Rosecrans, of California; Young, Of Tennessee,

man. who is at present paying the expenses and
