ABYssINrA BEcoMIYG CHRISTI

ABYssINIA BECOMING CHRISTIAN
IzED.-Some months ago the Bishop of
Jerusalem sent supply of Bibles to the
King of Abyssinia in his own language.
He received them with great joy, and
began at once to distribute them, telling
the priests to whom he gave them that
heuceforth they must teach the people
out of this book in the vernacular. The
missionaries who labor there have gained
great influence over the mind of King
Theodorus. L hey build roads and
bridges, introduce useful arts Of all kinds,
distribute Bibles, and recommend the
truth by their conversation and their
lives. The King has so far recognized
their civil services as 10 raise them TO the
rank Of mobiles. He has recognized
them to be right in those points where
the doctrines of the Bible differ from
the traditions of the Abyssinian Church,
and in token Of il has received the sac
rament Of the Lords Supper with them.

CHARLESTON, May 5.

CHARLESTON, May 8.
The Convention at Institute Hall
(Regular) has Acknowledged itself unable
to perform i,s mission.
Immediately upon being called to
order this morning, Mr.. Russell Of vir-
ginia moved to adjourn to meet at Balti
raars .sn the 18th Of June, and that the
different States be requested to Oil the
vacancies in their delegations.
The preliminary motion TO suspend
the standing order, (to ballot) was agree
ed to by vote of 1a9 to 81.
A scene Of dire confusion then followed.
No attempt was made TO maintain even
decent order.
After sharp running fire, various
amendments we're rejected and the origi-
nal Baltimore motion AGREED TO.
Thus you have the end Of the chapter.
The disintegration of the Democracy is
complete.
The steamer S. r. SpauIding left for
Boston early this morning. Several of
the delegates, who have become disguised
with their mission here, return in her.
Large numbers of outsiders and sew
eral delegates have left the city by rail,
and the fragment of the Democracy left
may now conduct its business more sat
isfactorily.

think, to warrant us in presenting it to
our readers. II is private letter recent
ly received from one whose authority in
the matter ~annot be questioned. In
reference to the period of the production
of the Old 0aken Bucket" the writer
says: " II was written in the spring or
summer Of 1917. The family were living
at the time in Duane street. The poet
came home to dinner one very warm day
having walked from his Office, somewhere
near the foot Of Wall street. Beipg much
heated with the exercise, he poured him
self out a glass of water-New York

exelaiming. as he replaced the tumbler on
the table, That IS very refreshing, but

Douglass body guard are plainly section
al in their composition and in the limited
acceptance of their principles. Besides
they are harmonizing with ingredients
which will load them down with addition
al discredit.
Such speech as that made in their
Convention yesterday by Mr.. Boulden
of Georgia is a disgrace which cannot
easily be got rid Of. He pronounced
the African slave trader to be a model
phianthropist, because, said he, he
brings the heather here TO civilize, and
sends them down the stream Of time
Christian beings" He went on as if he
thought the Douglas men had come to
I Charleston to buy slaves, and told them
if they would accompany him to Georgia,
g he would show them some slaves
he had bought in Maryland, some in
Virginia, some in North Carolina, and
some in Georgia; but he would show
them some direct from Africa, and they
we're the 'noblest Romans of them all. .
That these-newly imported Romans
should be so much superior to the long
settled I" Christian beings" of Maryland
and Virginia, does not exactly agree
with his theory Of civilization. Still, he
thinks it does, and again declares the
slave trader 4" the noblest of pbilanthro
pists and the most Christian citizen il

SMALL BED CHAMBERs.-There is reason
10 believe that more cases of dangerous and
fatal diseases are gradually engcndered an
nually by the habit of sleeping in small un
ventilated rooms, than have occurred from Il
cholera atmosphere during any year since it
made It's appearance in this country. Very
many persons sleep in eight by ten rooms that
is, rooms the length and breadth of which null
uplled together, and this multiplied again by
ten, for the height of the chamber, would make
just eight hundred cubic feet, while the cubic
space tor each bed, according to the English
apporti0nment for hospitals, is twenty one hum
dred feet. But more in order to give the air
OF room the highest degree of freshness" the
french hospitals contract ior a complete re
hewal OF the AIR OF room every hour while
the English assert that double the amount, or
over tour thousand feet an hour, is required.
Four thousand feet of ai~ every hour! and
yet there are multitudes, in the city of New
York, who sleep with closed doors aud win
dows, in rooms which do not contain a thou
sand cubic feet of space, and that thousand
feet Is to last all uight-at least eight hours -
except such scanty supplies as may be obtain
ed Of any fresh air that may insinuate itself
through little crevcps by door or window, not
an eighth OF an inch in thickness. But when
1t Is known that, in many cases, man and
