I've alters senco th'eii. boys, ihort that wimin war a good deal like l:ckr if you lorn 'oin too hard, tk'cy ar shore to throw you souio way.' 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.' 0 I Fri-- m the New York Herald. 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 I rleck Joseph Surface, in tho "School for Scandal," who zealouslyreach- - -- cd up sentiments of, morality tois ' wild brofh'cf "Charles at'5 the very moment thaE,'hB had Sir Peter Toa-xle- 's wife concealed for .a criminal I purpose in lyj&room, the Jftnti-slav- e r ry. leaders are'-;- , luos cuthusiastiS" against the slave trafiic at the very time, that they arc enjoying its fits and doing a thriving business in human flesh. 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 more held the widow by his glitter-- 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. "'Pears to 'be a little huffy ?'"Jsaid." tho ineffable bore, turning to our narrator behind him; " she needn't, be mad, I: don't waut to- - hurt ier feelin's. ' What did you pay for. thai, , umbrella you've got in your hand ?' Its a real poorty one." "Ah honest man's the noblest.' work of the Lord 1 " enthusiastical-l- y exclaimed 'a hard shell Baptist ;' and then, after a pause, he added . " but tho Lord ' hasn't had a job in the" world for '.fifty .years. Pass' aronad the'sasser,"- - ' ' '

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.' 0 I Fri-- m the New York Herald. 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 I rleck Joseph Surface, in tho "School for Scandal," who zealouslyreach- - -- cd up sentiments of, morality tois ' wild brofh'cf "Charles at'5 the very moment thaE,'hB had Sir Peter Toa-xle- 's wife concealed for .a criminal I purpose in lyj&room, the Jftnti-slav- e r ry. leaders are'-;- , luos cuthusiastiS" against the slave trafiic at the very time, that they arc enjoying its fits and doing a thriving business in human flesh.

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 more held the widow by his glitter-- 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.
