CATCHING A SLAYER.
Africans Crowded Together Like Sar'
dimes in One Small Dhow.
From, the London Daily News.

From the London Daily NeUs.
Letters from the East India station give
particulars of an important capture of a
slave dhow made few weeks ago by her
maiesty's steamer Reindeer One of her
boa is, in charge of petty officer, was pro-
ceeding into Chakichaki Bay. in the Island
of Pelnba, when a dhow was observed max
ing for the inner harbor.
The officer Immediately boarded her and
was surprised to find that although the
dhow was a small one a large number of
slaves were packed into her, like behring's in
q barrel-so crowded, in fact, was the craft
that the officer was unable to count the
slaves accurately, and he at once towed the
dhow toward the Reindeer. The slaves and
crew were transferred to her majesty's
steamer Pigeon and the dhow was sent to
Bombay, where she was handed over to the
court.
II was then discovered that the vessel had
on board no fewer than 124 slaves. The in
ouirv before the prize court elected the in
formation that the dhow left Llndi with the
slaves on board, the master having been
nromised ten rupees head for every slave
landed alive at Pemba. During his voyage
he passed three Of her majesty's shipS-the
Algerine. the Pigeon and the Boadicea--and
escaped search in each instance, and was
inst making preparations to land his capt
ives when the Renders boat overhauled
him The dhow has been destroyed by
order of the court, her captain and crew
ara in urisop. and an amount calculated at
p5 head for the slaves and IS ton for
fine dhow will be divided among the COM
mander. the officer and men Of the Rein
deer.

Army ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

Chatting with the sergeant in charge OF
recruiting for the United States army al
the station in Park Row yesterday. says the
New York Star, he told me some curious
things about the new and old soldiers.
During the summer months,n said he,
recruiting is practically at standstill in
New York, but during the fall and
especially in the winter months the new
soldiers flock in upon us. OF course p larger
percentage OF men are recruited in mid
winter, and this fact is easily accounted for
as many a homeless wanderer prefers the
severe discipline of Uncle Sam to the more
vigorous discipline of old Boreas with his
biting winds and inclement billiards.
Really our soldiers are better off in every
way than thousands of their civilian
brethren, but the idea Of doing las we
please and quitting a toss when we feel
good and ready is SO firmly rooted in the
anatomy of the average American citizen
that desertions are more common than in
any other army in the world. There are
four non-commissioned officers always on
