Opponents of the slave trade agitated not for restriction but abolition. The wrongs perpetrated by man on "animals are even more dire than those inflicted by him on his own species. The abolition of slavery was confessedly an act of high Christian philanthropy, and surely it is no less noble or less Christian to stop the sufferings of other helpless creatures of our God. The hideous cruelty of dissecting living "animals," or inflicting on them, though innocent and defenceless, multitudinous deaths of excruciating and protracted agony, has secretly grown up in this nation -a nation which for ages past has been nobly distinguished by the courageous and unsanguinary character of its people. This moral ulcer has spread widely, and (whether it be or not a dreadful form of insanity become dangerous and demoralizing to Society-a biot on Civilization-a stigma on Christianity. The public has little idea what the horrors of Vivisection are: its crimes in studied, ingenious, refined, and appalling torture, in wautonuess uselessness, and wickedness, cannot be surpassed in the anusis of the world. It therefore calls for extirpation by the Legislature, cruelty being not only the worst of vices in itself, but the most retributive to mankind, more especially when perpetrated by the refined ani educated.

In December of 1873, when on a voyage from Batavia to Atchin (Sumatra) in one of the commodious little steamers of the Netherlands East Indian Company, I had an opportunity of learning an amusing instance of how names come to be corrupted. The harbour, or, more correctly, roadstead, of Atchin is surrounded by little coral islands, the names of three of which are instances of the subect in question; for upon the chart which I saw, an English one,-all the best charts are founded on British survey,—they are termed Pulo (= island in Malay) "Nancy," Pulo "Brass," and Pulo "Way." It would naturally be supposed that these three islands were named respectively after some sailor's black-eyed sweetheart, from the occurrence of copper-for precious metals are said to be found in Atchin, e.g., its highest volcano, Ja Moera, is also termed Goudberg, or gold-mountain, from the presence of this metal in the districtand, lastly, after some distinguished or would-be famous person, by name Way. Nothing of the sort. All the names are corruptions of well-known Malay words, for the first ought to be Nassi, cooked or boiled rice; the second Bras, rice freed from the husk, ready for cooking; and the third away dynasty or form of religion. The name Indrapoera, or town sacred to the deity Indra, given to a town, river, and very high mountain (about 12,000 feet high), midway on the southwest coast of Sumatra, is a relic reminding us of the former range of Brahminism, now displaced by Islamism, over the Malay archipelago. Singapore, on the Malay peninsula, is another instance. It is said, moreover, that many words in the Javanese language, spoken in the eastern part of Java (in the western part Sundanese is the dialect in use), are of Hindustanee origin; and it is further asserted that in the small island of Bali, lying immediately eastward of Java, the practice of " suttee," or the burning of widows, prevails to this day.
