Moroccan Slave Markets.

The sale of slaves in Morocco is a
very remarkable ceremony. When the
buyers have taken their seats in the
market place the auctioneers advance
in line to the center of the market and
offer up a prayer. They appeal for
divine favor on behalf Of buyers and
sellers and anathematize Satan and
all his works. The buyers interpolate
amen" at the proper moments. When
the last word of prayer has been said
the slaves are brought forward, par
celled out among the auctioneers and
led around the circle Of buyers, who
raise the prices Of the men, women and
children they desire to purchase.

adysability and even necessity OF
changing the form of government Of
the Russian state from an absolute

the retention, for the present at least
of the existing form of government.

Should Japan then attempt to i'm

emperor's pacific proposals have been
met with impossible terms.
