Slavery in Zanzibar.

A Parliamentary paper ob May 3(Hb published containing correspondence respecting ulavery and the slave trad* in East Africa and the Islands of Zwzb*t •ndPemha. Ihe following is a quo tation from Commissioner Last s re- P°The7»M kDOW iha6 tliey ct\ bß f! ee whenever they chooso to be so, but the greater number of tbem fall to see that freedom would bring them any parti cnUr advantage; and, apart from the abstract We* of freedom, which they ftb-i slaves 1* do not regari, seeing that Vto them) the state of slavery is not one of tVgnce, it is difficult for them to see that they would gain very much by the ° ge ; ruher, ia very many o»aes. ii,,/wuaH be great losers. . . The freeman has to nee all bis wits and anerres to otnain the requirements of life with the result that often he is in debt, »nd new earns a rupee but he hfc* to pay it away, and then go and get milt farther into debt. Not bo the slave. H« has ft fairly easy, and what suits him » ,rry irresponsible lot. . . A 1 that gn an owner require* from bis slave is the so-caled three days 1 work weekly; «s a matter of fact, it is not more than 15 hours 1 good honest work in the wt-ek of 168 hows, and for this labour the slave reeeiv- a in return the nse of ac much land on Ibe estate as he wishes for hie own oa*. He can grow what he pleases, and the product is his own, H- holds his own house on this land with his master^ help, and w:th mat. rial fre qoenlly obtained Sroiu b<s mastir* rstae, sod her? he lives nut ft**, ai>d tt. all inseDts and purposes he ib master ir his own fooase and on th* piece of laud h* occnpipß. 1o(1 otbfr »dvaotagfß wh:ch the sI«T6 nrjoysJU* neither few nor small; he kn< ws that he has in Ins master one to whom he c*n go in time of trouble Should he gst into »ny kind of difficulty, if fickoess occurs he goes to his master for food and nvd iciae. He. has the privilege of et.joy ing » share in all th*> fea&fs and plea sures of his master's household, »nd he Is generally one of a c naid^rablo nura ber who, being all plaveaof one master live together as b little complete ncm tDunify in coDsiderab'e ease and, to tbem, comfort, Ihe qofgMoo from the sWo c point of yip» i», what does he gain by becom ing a frepro^n ? The f»cfc is, he gains a name which fioee not profit hiro anv tbin?—at Jpast at present—and for tbSa empty name be loses everything he bad before. .Naturally he losses the use of the land he had b.ea occupying and also the feoasa. , . • # He Joees the reg&rdfi of a man of position to whom be could turn at all times of want, sick new, or d fficulty. He. loses the cham pionship of his fellow slaves, for they will consider that he has disgraced himself by leaving his master \ and t^ey will recognise him again. The slave who obtains his freedom by claiming it, ia despised by all native freeman and also by all staves, and so fails to enjoy the hospitality which is maintained freeman and others, and slaves who h»A6 cot accepted freedom from the white man. The freed slave, in fact, becomes an outcast ac far as all hie past associations and companions are c ncerned. His former owner will oofc know him,, and bis late companions will not recognise him. He has no home no Mends or companions, no one tn go to in tirni of trouble j he may die of sickness and want, and few theie will be to lend a helping hand,
