The Philadelphia Dalletin has the
following in a letter from a foreign
correspondent, writTng from Tur-key
:
There U an amas.ipg story afioat
at the expense of the D'ukc'of Bra-bant
if it prove not to the expense
of the Sultan to tho effect 'that,
when Us Highness was occupying
the palace at Kmirghian, seventeen
pipes and twrgMies were sent lo him
from the royal palace of J)clma
JBaghlehe, to'bo placed at, lr.s ser-vice
during his residence at th's
capital. These seventeen pipes and
narghiles' were all handsomely aui-lier-mquth- ed,
and richly mounted
witli'' diamonds and other precious
stones. One narghile was worth
250,000 piasters, and seven' pipes
were worth li!J0,0UI), The JLhike
was exceedingly struck with their
beauty',. and uttered such extrava-gant
expressions cf admiration, that
His Majesty 1'ult' there was but one
answer to be rVturncd " Alsinler,"'"
said he, "let h'iin't'ake them!"
Jlnd he took them.
It was a' neat pocketing of ,1- -
00.' . ...
It must have been the Sultan's
cliagrin'at this circumstance, that
about this time made him 'fall ill. lie
sent io r ins lavoriie pinsioian.
Now, this' physician, a well-know- n
Greek' of Pera. had had' the good
fortune, about twelve months pre-vious,
to 'relieve th"e royal frame of
a small amouht'of fever and ague,
lor which ho had received unbound-ed
honors and munificent; gifts, a
palace also,' having ever since been
in process of binlding for him.'
' " You cured mo once," said' the
Sultan, " cure me now."
Tho symptoms succeeding the
swallowing of the " chagrin" of the
narghile and pipo having been ex-amined'
an emetic was administered
and ' the ' physician w i thd row. Bui
while the doctor was in the seventh
heaven of expectation, his royal pa-tient
found himself in tho predica-ment
of the-ma- n who said it was
' no uso to give him' an emetic, for
never could keep it down." His Maj-esty
believed that he had been poi-soned.
The physician was arrested
and thrown info prison; ;tho build-ing.o- f
the palace was stopped, and
no 'one can tell what other measures
might' have boca resorted to, had
not' twelve other physicians, after
much' discussion, decided that the
peculiar'" nature of the disease re-quired
the very sytnptoni3 produced
by-th- e medicine.'

I Tlie .5.frica.n Slave Tratle"2t3
7?rontn attd l?ros;erity.
The Evening Post, the New York
Tribune, and othci anti-slaver- y jour-nals
in. this city, are discharging
themselves oi such a mas of spe-cial
and minute information about
the movement of slavers, and the
activity of the slave trade in New
York. Npw London, New Bedford
and Boston, that it scoma highly
probable thy ars stockholders or
secret .agents in tho business. These
ports in which tho slavers are. lilted
out, belong to the. most rabid an'i-siavcr- y
Slates, and there can be no
doubt that the ves-ci- s are the prop-erly
of the Republicans in these
several places. The profits of the
trade nro .so great that they car.
well afford to contribute a, hundred
thousand dollars or more towards
the election of aa anti-slaver- y Pres-ident.
From li-- ts published a short
time ago in the Fo-- t aud Tribune,
it appeared that eighty-si- x slavers
had appeared in this pert and the
other ports we have mentioned, and
from farther cases since reported.
tne number cannot now belar short
of one hundred pail. The act pro-ceeds
on a cargo of five hundred
slave, are at ttic lowest climate
$100,000, which is only an average
profit of 290 per h?ad. The ?um
co tat of tho pro lies of the ' blackbird
fleet" of one hundred vcs.-e-l would
therefore amount to,ten millions of
jdoliars, and this estimate makes au
allowance of five millions for ex-penses
and losses. From these facts
jsind iigarr. it is evident that ic is
la mo --it profitable, prosperous bu-sin- e,
and accordingly we arc in-formed
by the Post that steamships
are about, to give a new activity to
the traffic, and that thev will bo
packed with some three thousand
uegrpes, whose aggregate prices
would sum up about a million of
dollars.
One instance is mentioned by both
our anti-slaver- y contemporaries, of
450 negroes being landed on tho
30th' of Ji.v.iQ from au American
bark, and scld'publicly in the streets
of Trinidad, at an average of $(550
each. . Tho gross proceeds of the
cargo' would .be $292,500. which.
for one hundred "blackbirds," would
amount to -- upwards of twenty-nin- e
millions of. dollars, leaving a clear
profit of from" twenty to twenty-fiv- e
millions.' It is added, ia tho Post.
4.1... i- - ii. -- '......s.v, c rP ,, ;;,! ,3
received in this transaction $30,000
hush money.' Now, it may be fair-ly
asked, how these who arc not in-tcrcstc-d'or
implicated' in the trade
themselves can bo so well posted in
this matter of bribery, or make up
the lists .of slavers which have ap-peared
in their journals.' llow can
they be so minutely-informe- d of trie
namca'ol the vessels, tjfceir captains,
the ports fi-'o- m whieh''":they have
sailed, the number of slaves they
land,' tho prices received for them,
and' tho "Kush money" to corrupt
Governors, unless they arc secret
partners in the trade ? If they arc
possessed of all this information,
they must have known of thelitdiig
out of every vessel before she sail-ed.
Why did they not give infor-mation
to the authorities before the
bird hadTiown, unless they had an
intesest in concealing her flight till
it was too late. Once these ships'
have made their voyages and laud-ed
their' cargoes, and' tho owuors
have . realized fortunes, they . and
their "agents may. then inform the
public, that such operations were
made, the legal evidence against
those concerned- - being no longer in
existence. They caa thus afford to
to be "severe in 'their denunciations
of the slave traffic, and call it " in-forn- al,"
having tho prices of the :
Africans in their pockets, or snugly
deposited to their credit iu banks
and they ran also afford to bleed-copiowl- y
for the purchase of cam-Ipaig- n
documents to secure the clec-- I
tioa of Old Abe Lincoln. Like

for Scandal," who zealouslyreach- - --

An Inquisitive Vaakcc.
. . A gentleman riding in an Eastern
. railroad car. which was rather scan-- ;
tily supplied with passengers, ob- -'
served on l lie seat before him a lean,
'. slab sided Yankee; every feature of
, I his face seemed to ask. a question,
jand a little circumstance soonprov-.c- d
that he possessed a most inquisi-- .
i ; tivo mind. Before him, occupying
an entire scat, sat a lady dressed ia
deep black. Our Yankee, after
shifting his position several times,
and mncsuvering to get au opportu- -
'
uity to look into her face, at icngth
caught her eve.
"In affliction?"
' Yes, sir," responded the lady.
'' " Parent ? father or mother?
' No, sir."
" Child, perhaps ? "boy or cirl ? '
"No, sir, not a child; I have ao
children?"
" Husband, then. I expect? "
" Yes," was the curt answer.
" Hum ! cholera ? a tradia'
man. may be ? "
" My Imsba'nd was, a sea-farin- g
man the captain of .a vessel; he
didn't die of cholera, lie was drown- -'
cd." .
. " O, drownded, eh l'" pursued the
inquisitor, hesituting'for a brief in-stant.
,
"Saved" his cii'k?"
" Yes, the vessel was saved, and'
my husband's effects," said the wid-ow.
.; Was'thcyf" asked the Yankee,
brightening up.'
' Pious man ? "
.
. ,
" He was a member of the Meth-- (
odist church!"
The next question was a little 'de-laye-d,
but it came.
"Don't you "think you have a
great cause to be thankful he was a''
. pious mau andsaved his chist?" " I do," said'the widow abruptlv,:
and turning her head to look out of
thoF window.' .The indefatigable'.
" bump" changed his position once

ing eye, aiid propounded one moro'
qticry, in a little lower tone, with
his head' slightly inclined forward,
over the back of the seat : '. .
"Was yon calculating to git mar-ried
agin?"
" Sir," said the widow, indignant-ly,
' You are impertinent I '' And
she left her seat and tbok another'
on' the other side of the car.
