June 4, 1860, SStf WHEKK D(.)ES IVORY COME FROM? TL:it Ivuij was at a very early period ati article of traffic and adornment, we have only to tuin to Sacred \\ rit, and to the earliest profane poets of antiquity. Solomon's sLips came triennially laden with “gold aud silver, ivory, apes and peacocks;” and “moreover the Kini^ made a j^reat throne of ivory and overlaid it with thebest i;old.'’ David (iu Psalm xiv.) sang of “ivory palaces, ’ and the Pro phet E/ekiel, speaking of the luxury (J!‘ Tyre, (XX vii-U,^ states thateven the ^alleys had “benches of ivory.” Homer tells us of the magnitieenoe of the early and almost barbarous Creek princes, in whose mansions— “The spoils of elephants liie roofs inlay.” From Africa, perhaps more than from India, the long tusks were imported, that gave to tlie most splendid monarch of Israel, and to the war rior chiefs of Hellas, their coveted white adorn ments. May it not be a clue to the voyages ot theTarshishiau shipsol‘Solomon that at Aiepresent day commerce has taken its old channel down tli; Nile, and Cairo is once more a mart where “gold and ivory” are to be procured!' Until withiu a few years, the Egyptian pa.shas made trading up and dow^u the Nile a monopoly; now, Eg3*ptian, Erench, German and English merchantH explore the re mote resources of that river, not tor the purposes ot science, but fur those ot commerce. In the last report of .'alos of ivory in London, the head quarters of this trallic, we find that 85,UUU (eiijhty- ffvr thouAand.'^ pounds of the ivory sold was “Egyptian;” that is, found its w'ay to civiliza'lion through Egypt. Herodotus distinctly tells us that Africa yield ed her tribute of elepliants’ teeth V) tlie Kings of Persia. The (Jreeks had ma.ster-pieces of art com posed of gold and ivory, while the grave sei'utors of Rome sat in ivory seats. That Africa was the source whence the ancients of Southern Euro[pe drew their supply, we learn tVum Pliny, the Younger, v ho says ^hat the vast consumption of ivory for articles of luxury compelied the Romans to seek for it in another hemisphere, “as Africa had ceased to furnish elephants’ tusks excejS ot the smallest kind.” After the overthrow of the Roman Empir? the commerce between Europe and Africa was sus pended for centuries. At length the enterprise of Portugal opened anew Africa and India. In the meantime the lordly elephant had multiplied in his native forests, and if the long tusks were se cured by the natives they served mert.-ly the plebeian purposes of duor-posts, or tiie Uefenses of wooden idols. Battell, a quaint old Euglishm;*n who served in the early Portugue.se aimit%, says that the Africans “had their idols of wood, fash ioned like a negro, and at the foot thereof wa.s u great heap of elephants’ teeth, containing three or four tons of them.” It is a w'ell-known fact tUat the iuhabitants ot Angola and Congo, when the Portuguese iirst t>ccapied those coasts, were found to tiave preserved an immense number of elephants’ teeth, the accumulation of centuries. For a long time this ivory was exported iu vessels of Portugal to various parts of Europe, and this traiiic formed one of the most lucrative brandies of the early modern trade with Africa. About the middle of the 17th century this store became exhausted, and the sons of Ethiopia were instiga ted to renew the battle with the wide-eared, long- tusked Eltphas Africa HUS. To-day the amount of ivory consumed in the workshops of Europe, America and India is im mense, and yet, great as it is, the continent of Africa furnishes seveu-eighths of all that is worked up into oruHtuents, toys, and crucifixes iu t rante; heathen gods, boxes and fans iu India and China; biiiiard bails, boxes, uiiuiature-plates, chessmen, mathematical rules, keys for piaiio-lori,es, organs and melodeons, tans, combs, folders, dominoes, and a thousand and one other things, in England, Germany, and the (, nited States. Portugal was the England of the lOth centu ry in more respects than one. For two centuries Portugal held, in the East and on the African Coast, the power and influence now in tile hands ot England. Lisbon at ttiat time was the head of the ivory market; now London is the mart where ivory dealers most do congregate. It sometimes occurs that ttie Salem and other American merchants engaged in the African trade ship their tusks (or ttetti in commercial parlance^ to London after they have brought tiicm from the Zanzibar aud Mozambique coast to the L’nited States. In the world’s great metropolis there occurs at regular intervals one of ttio.se sales which furnish the aianufacturers with their stock of Elephants’ teeth. While we a.ssociate ivory and India together, but very little of the former comes from the lat ter. It is estimated that to supply ivory to the British market, for the last few years, it has re quired about I,UUl»,UUU lbs. annually; of ibis quantity Ceylon—the great F^lephant park of In dia—furaishes only 5i.»0 or (iUO pounds. The ivory which is put down in the printed reports of sales a.s “Kombay, ’ in nine cases out of ten is shipped by Mahometan merchants trom tlie East coa.st of Africa to the large North-we.stern com mercial emporiutu of Bombay. Tiiore is also a large ivory trade between Zanzibar and China cia Bombay. A great deal of ivory now reaches the United States directly trom Africa. The immense demand for oleplKiuta' teeth iias of late years increased the supply from all jiarts ot Africa At the end (»t the last century the an nual average importation into England was only 192,501) lbs.; in 1827 it reached yti4,7s4 lbs., or 6,080 tusks, which would require the death ot at least 3,040 male elephants. It is probable that the slaughter is much greater, for the teeth ot the female elephant are very small, and Buiehell tells us, in his African travels, that he met with some elephant-hunters who had .shot twelve huge fellows, which, however, altogettier produced no more than two hundred pounds of ivorv. To produce 1,000,000 lt)s. of ivoiy, the present an nual English import, we should require (estima ting each tusk at f>0 lbs.) the life of ^,3^3 male elephants. It is said that 4,00U tuskers suffer death every year to supply the United States with combs, knife-handles, billiard-balls, iJtc.. ic. A tusk weighing 70 lbs. and upwarijs is con sidered by dealers as first-cla?s. (Juvier formed a table of the most remarkable tusks of which any* account has been given. The largest on record w:is one which was sold at Aiiisterdani," wbici. weighed three hundred and iiliy ji.iundh. In tha late sales at Loudon the largest ot tii* “13t.>niba3 and Zanzibar,” was 122 lbs.; >f ‘-.Vngola and Lisbon ’ tJD lbs.; ot “( ape* ot Good ilo|,>e and ^la- lal” 10C» lbs.; of “Cape Coast Ca,stle, i-agos,” 114 lbs.; t»f “(jtaboom” U1 ibs.; “I'.g^ptiatr' 11 i lbs. But it must not be inferred from this tha
