The African Siaye Trade.

The cruel part of the slave trade is
the march across Central Africa from
the Soudan. When . sufficient number
Of slaves have been caught to form o
caravan the miserable procession starts
across the desert. Each slave has to
carry his or her " gourd Of water
and provisions of dried dates from sta
ton to station, aud to make the weary
journey on foot. In the forests and
bush Of equatorial Africa they are
yoked Of tied together, but in the
sandy wastes of the Sahara they are
not chained or mancled; for. should
they try to escape, there is nowhere
but the desert for them to go, and they
would have TO throw away their bur-
dens of food and water, so that . GER
tain and lingering death would be the
only result OF gaining their freedom.
At different points on the route parts
Of the caravan branch off from the main
body and strike northward across the
desert for Tripoli, Tunis, or the inte-
rior of Algeria, until the caravan arrives
at Timbuctoo. From this great GEN.
trail mart they turn northward to Cape
JUDY, where the Northwest African
| Trading Company attempted to found
q station on q small island just off the
coast to tap the Snltan's trade with the
interior and Timbuctoo. and would nj
doubt have been successful had not the
| Sultan sent several thousand troops to
occupy the cape, with strict instructions
to fire ON any one who attempted to
land. From Cape JUDY to Morocco is
but . short march, and then tho slaves
are distributed among the inland towns,
and are sold by public auction to q life
OF comparative ease and comfort. OF
the long trains that leave Darfour and
the Soudan for Morocco. not more than
40 per cent reach the Sultan's domin-
ions; the rest have fallen by the way,
| victims to the sun, to hunger and
thirst, to blows and privations OF every
kind. If the horrors Of this march
across thousands Of miles of desert are
to be put an end to they must be
| stopped at the fountain.head. Nothing
can be done in Morocco; hut slavery
there ia not Of the Legree or Uncle
Tom type, which is the only m that
English l0inds can comprehend; the
slaves are we'll fed and we'll treated,
and most European governments would
lay themselves open to obvious retorts
did they interfere to change the
slaves condition. It is at the COM
meucement Of this journey Of death
that the cure must be effected. When
Gordon swep. the province of Darfour
the slave-hunters found their occupa-
tion gone, and their hitherto profitable
calling was changed to one of danger
and doubtful remuneration; but when
We abandoned Gordon at Khartoum we
abandoned oil attempts to check the
slave trade in Central Africa. But the
Soudan is a long way off and Africa is
still the dark continent; and 30 we left
the long caravans to once more plod
their deadly path across the desert, and
We passed on either side, content to
chase o few dhows in the Red Sea for
the saving of our consciences. Illus

He who is anxious TO tie his tongue in
knots will do we'll to attempt the following
exercise in pronunciation: A day or two
ago, during a lull in business. two little
bootbiacks, one white and the other black,
were standing at the cor.er doing nothing.
when the white bcotblaek agreed to black
the black bootLlack's boots. The black
bootblack was. of course. willing to have
his boots blacked by his fellow %bootblack.
and the bootblack who had ag,eed to black
the black bootblack's boots, went TO work.

Corean and Chinese.

The features Of these Corean mobiles,
says Frank &. Carpenter in a letter from
Washington to the NeW York World, are
not SO refined or cultured as those Of the
Chinese, and indeed the Chinese legation
at Washington is made up Of moro than
average intellectual and social attachments.
The Coreans look like a lower race, though
they claim to be a more progressive one
and they are apparently plebians beside
their Celestial brothers.

One of his colleages in the senate sand
to Mr.. Palmer, Of Michigan, the other day:
Palmer, ! suppose that between legi-
mate numbering, lumber stealing and fires,
the timber is getting pretty scarce in Mich

For a moment Mr.. Palmer looked at his
friend pityingly and then replied.
Just to think whit a common school
system We have and, with it all, a United
States senator to ask such a question!
WIZ, my dear sir, there is timber enough
now standing in the state of Michigan to

Once a year for fifteen years."
That removed the qu~estioners doubts
at least in Mr.. Palmer's opinion, I suppose.

Attempt to Burn Farm buildings.

Mr.. VIM. II. Hockenbury lives on one
of Mr.. E, P. Conkling's farms, near
Barley Sheaf. When he went out to the
barn to do up his work last Monday
morning he found quite a number of
parlor matches that had been lighted,
strewn about the floor. He noticed also
that his mare--an animal that is greatly
afraid of anything like fireworks-was
much agitated and uneasy in her stall,
and manifested strong disposition to
get out of the stable. He also found
that the chain had been removed from
the pump at the barn. Going back to
the house and notifying his family of his
discoveries, woman who had remained
over night with Mrs. Hockenbury, who
was i'll, said that she had heard the dog
bark most furiously between 70 and
O'Clock the previous night. Mr.. Hook
enbury is satisfied that some evil dis
posed person had come to the premises
with the intention of burning the build
ings, and was only prevented by the
alarm given by the faithful watch dog.

One method of advertising, which the hor-
rifiers alias the ''beautihers," adopt, is to
have small boys give away small bottles OF
deadly red liquid, duly labeled with all its
claims, uses and properties. Many women
who never thought of coloring themselves
up before Immediately began the disgusting
practice after receiving one of these bottles,
excusing themselves on the plea that sit was
a pity to waste it." Immediately after the
first distribution of bottles a noticeable red
ness appeared on large percentage of the
faces Of the promenaders. Now, when the
boy with the bottles is seen he is at once sur
rounded by an eager crowd Of women, who

The Jews Of Cochin.

AT the time of Lord Connemara's visit the
white and black Jews of Cochin, who pretend
to have settled there since the destruction of
the temple of Jerusalem, were holding the
Feast of Tabernacles. 1.-THE women Of the
white Jews are extremely fair and their skins
look dazzlingly white by contrast with the
black and bamboo colored population around
them They dress in fantastic robes with
gay cloths about their heads and golden
coins about their neclks, and look like a GER
tain class of Bagdadis and of Arabs of mixed
blood, such as you may see at Bussorah or
the City of the Cahphs. Their appearance
is most striking and can hardly be likened TO
any more we'll known class of womankind.
They keep up some sort of connection with
Jerusalem. Two men from the holy city sat
close beside us while the sacred books of
Moses were being unwound from the interior
Of silver cylinders capped by erections like
imperial crowns. The walls were hung with
yellow satin, and hundreds of cocoanut oil
lights burned in the small synagogue, inten-
styling thousandfold the hot, cteamy and
oppressive atmosphere with which the

beauty New York Star.
