fort has been made TO suppress the trade :;
water crafts have brought their cargoes of
human beings deliberately into the harbor
of Zanzibar and landed them unmolested
for over a century. This has been known
to the world Now in 1889, England, Ger
many, France and Italy are asking for a
corner in this game The nations of Eu-
rope all at once come to the conclusion
that there is an injustice being done to
these natives who are captives of war by
selling them into slavery and attempt to
stop the traffic. They are not stopping the
slave trade and cannot stop it by force.
II IS folly for any person to suppose they
are doing SO to any extent, 1t is true they
are not brought into the harbor, and land
cd under the guns Of the men-of-war, but
they are brought to the island, and reach
the city all the same as before. The chiefs
on the main land may bc a little Shy about
starting ont but where there are only TWEEN

A. long a. Africa remains in an nncivil-

Justify the enormous evil of slavery, |
may say the natives who are taken prison

remain in the interior of Africa shut out

Winter HaTbor.

Winter Harbor.
The steamer Winter Harbor brought the
remains Of Mr.. 4. A. Baker direct from
the terminus Monday noon and the ser
vices took place directly after, the Rev.
MIR. Frohock officiating. The church was
filed with relatives and a host of friends
were in attendance to show their respect
for so worthy man-neighbors in whose
homes he had always gone a tender friend
in time of need. The services were
deeply impressive. The speakers alluson
to the deccased's reverence for the aged
his love for children, and last, but not
least, his love and kindness to all animals,
was beautiful tribute to one wto so well
deserved the eulogy, showing the great
loving heart he possessed. An unkind
word never fell from his lips to any ami
NAL in his care, instead tender caress.
The fioral tributes were abundant and ele-
giant.

A carriage horse with a tail is growing
less and less frequent in all the fashionable
districts. How such monstrous deform-
