Human Slavery in Egypt.

1t is only four years or so since the
law governing slavery In Egypt has
been strictly enforced, although It was
passed during the early occupancy by
the English of the valley OF the Nile
Even now it is not easy to keep track
Of the natives, especially In the upper
part of Egypt and the desert, In their
dealings In slavery. for there is sort
of Free Masonry secrecy among them,
and the slaves held are too ignorant
or too frightened to make known their
state. 1t Is said that, in spite Of the
strictest surveillance, children are now
often bought and sold by native trad
ers. Life has always been held cheap
In Egypt, and 1t is naturally difficult
for the natives to observe ali at once
a law the edicts Of which are entirely
contrary to the teachings Of their fore
fathers, and also of their religion; and
it Will undoubtedly take more than one
generation of English control to con-
vince these Oriental people that slav-
cry is not only unlawful. but also
wrong
