English Women for Canada.

The Pall Mall Gazette of Tuesday contained an interesting communication from a lady who has just returned from a visit to Canada,dealing with the open- ings presented to English woman in the Dominion. Speaking generally, the writer states that since her visit she has been strengthened io her former opinion that a judicions and gradual influx of highly cultured English women into Canada and the United States would be as greata boon to those countries as it would be a relief to Great Britain. Ii is admitted, however, that even for ladies of culture who may emigrate the best course to adopt is to enter domestic ser- vice, where, in spite of course of some disadvantages, she is likely to be much more happy, more healthy, and better paid, then she would be in the position of clerk or tradeswoman in England.

An African Slave Pen. o tim STANLEY'S DESCRIPTION OF THE STAGES OF BONDAGE.

FIRST

Efforts to idealise slavery into beauty have not altogether ceased. In his Congo Land, Heary M. Stanley, des- cribes aslave-pen. It is not pleasant reading, but is a literal description of the first stages of bondage, and a good antidote for any sentimentality on the subject Stanley writes:

“There are rows upon rows of dark nakedness, relieved here and there by the white dresses of the captors. There are lines or groups of naked forms up- right, standing, or moving about list- lessiy ; naked bodies are stretched under the sheds in all positions; naked legs innumerable are seen in the per- spective of prostrate slippers ; there are countless naked chNdren, many mere infants, forms of boyhood and girlhood, and occasionally adrove of absolutely nuked old women, bendiog under a weight of fuel or cassava tubers or ban- anas, who are driven through the mov- ing groups by two or three musketeers. On paying more attentionto details I observe that mostly all are fettered — youths with iron rings around their necks, through which a chain,like one of our boat anchor chains, is rove, securing the captives by twenties.

‘The children over ten are secured by three copper rings, each ringed leg brought together by the central ring, which account for the apparent listless- ness of movements, L observed on first coming in presence of the curious scene. The mothers are secured by shorter chains, around whom their respective progeny of infants are grouped, hiding the cruel iron links that fall in loops or festoons over their mammas’ breasts, There is no one adult man-captive amomg them. Little perhaps, as my face betrays my feelings, other pictures would crowd upon the imagination; and after realizing the extent and depth of the misery presented to me, 1 walked about as in a kind of dream, wherein I saw through the darkness of the night the stealthy forms of the murderers creeping teward the doomed town, its inmates all asleep, and no sounds issu- ing from the gloom but the drowsy hum of chirping cicades or distant frogs —when suddenly flashes the light of brandish-torches ; the geeping town is involved ia flames, while volleys of musketry lay low the frightened and astonished people,sending many through | a short minute of agony to that sound- less sleep from which there will be no wakiny.
