There-are two sides to most stories, and
the NeU York Times insists upon it there
are also two sides to the Abyssinian ques-
ton. The case, as 1t stands at present,
presents these features:
liking Theodore has insulted and detain-
ed as hostages an English consul, other
subjects, and even. special English envoy.
But on the other hand, Abyssinia has great
grievances to allege against England. Ig-
nOrant. degraded. low as they are, the
Abyssinians have, from very early
ages, been Christians, and though in
the immediate neighborhood of Arabs,
Egyptians and Turks, they. have al
ways successfully resisted the tide of
Moslem invasion and conquest. In
s1S49, England formally recognized the in
dependence of Abyssinia, and agreed to
exchange ambassadors; and In 1855, by
guaranteeing the security of the Abyssian
seaboard, induced the reception of an Eng
lish consul. But since 1862 that policy
has been reversed. The Egyptians make
uninterrupted slave raids into the lowlands
of Abyssinia, and sell thousands of Chris
tians into Moslem slavery. The English
consul at Jerusalem declared Abyssinians
there to be Turkish subjects, and allowed
them to be despoiied of their most yene-
rated sanctuaries the representations OF
King Theodore were unnoticed and his let
ter to Queen Victoria unanswered; and
finally English ENJOYS assisted at the
negotiation by which Turkey sold Chris
tian Abyssinnia TO Egypt, and the British
cannon officially saluted the eight hundred
Egyptian troops who came in to take for
NAL possession. Why? Because England
needed Egyptian cotton and the repay ment
of Turkish loans. And the consul sent to
make negotiations was seized and impris-
oned by Theodore, who, reading the orders
from England saw how he had been de-
serted and betrayed. That is the substance
OF long letter published in the English
papers by one who had lived many years
In Abyssinia. IL has not been contradicted.

than it comes to-" b,

Paving Promissory Note.

There were two early settlers In the west
ern part of Pennsylvania whose names
were Peter Schmidt and John Smartz.
Peter had increased the size of his farm by
annexing to it a small tract of land adjoin-
ing, and he lacked about one hundred dol
lars to pay for his new acquisition He
called on his neighbOr John to borrow the
amount. John consented at once, and ge-
ing into another room he brought out an
old bread basket, and counted out the de-
sired number of dollars, and then the pair
sat down to two large earthen mugs of
cider and as many pipes of tobacco.
81, After smoking over the matter awhile it
occurred to Peter that in similar transac-
ton he had seen or heard of something
like a note passing between the borrower
and the lender, and he suggested as much
to John. The lender assented to the pro-
priety of such a course. Paper, pen and
ink were produced, and between the two a
document was concocted, stating that John
had lent Peter 500, which Peter would re-
pay to John i'm stree monts." This Peter
signed, and thus far the two fnanciers
made the thing ''all regular and ship
shape" ts 2
But at this point difficulty presented
itself. They both knew that notes were
drawn in the operation of borrowing and
lending, which they had witnessed. but
neither of them had observed what dispo-
sition was made of the documents; neither
of-them could tell whether it was for the
borrower or the lender to take charge of
the paper.
Here was dilemma. At last bright
thought struck John. s
..You have de money to pay, Peter; you
take dis paper, SO you can see as you have
to pay it."
This was conclusive; the common sense
of the thing was plain, and Peter pocketed
his money and his note, $50 he could see
that he had to pay it." nj
Three months passed over, and to the
day appeared Peter, and paid over the
promised sum to John. This being done,
the mugs and pipes were again brought
out. After putting awhile, Peter produced
the note and handed it to John with the
remark
Now, John, you must take the note, so
you can see that the money had been
paid.

An Absnrd Querx.

The following show isit?" from news
paper, is of course an absurdity, but it
gives rise to reflection: a=i
= Suppose man and girl were to get
married-the man thirty-five years old and
the girl five years; this makes the man
seven times as old as the girl; they live to-.
gether until the girl is ten years old this
makes the man forty years old. and four
times as old as the girl; and they still live
until she is fifteen, the man would be forty :
five; this makes the man three times as old,
and they still live until she is thirty years
old; this makes the man sixty, only twice
as old, and so on. Now, how long would
they have to live to make the girl as old as
the man ?'' --......- .-..,
This is as absurd as the girl of twenty,
who was about to marry man of forty,
and who wept to think that when she
would be fifty and still vigorous, he would
be hundred years old 1t is curious, how
ever, when we reflect how as we grow old
er, we gain on our elders; how the man of
thirty, whom we looked up to at twenty,
becomes nearer our own age as we move
along in years. +- u a-s--3l"t. -1
