In exquisite scenery few countries can
rival Abyssinia. There hills rise above
hills ''clothed In most Injurious and vigor-
Gus vegetation There are ''villages and
hamlets embosomed, in dark groves of ever
greens and grouped in Arcadian repose."
There mountain peaks tower to the hight
of Mont Bldnc, and cast their giant shad-
ows over rich fields of every hue, chequer-
ing the deep, lone valleys. Innumerable
streams fIirrow the soil. and, not to speak
Of lesser lakes, that Of Tsana, near the cap
ital (Gondar), is 300 miles In circumference.
Healthy and beautiful, Abyssinia Is also
rich in those resources of which nature Is
so lavish where great nations are to dwell,
Enough wheat TO support man for whole
year ean be'bought there for crown, and
coal and iron abound, the iron being found
In so pure a state as TO require little more
than rolling out; while at fifty miles ffom
Gondar, for a league along the right bank
of the river. Gwang, six seams Of coal
crop out, each having a uniform thickness
of from ten to fifteen feet, the quality Of
the coal being very good, and fit for ordi-
nary steam ard other purposes" Near to
the sea, too, there are the coal fields of Ca
lllea, and in 'Ifany other parts of Abyssi-
mia coal exists. But besides coal and iron,
Abyssinia possesses II source ofmeXbausti-
BILE wealth IN the cotton tree, and within
the dominions of Theodore There are tracts
Of land more extensive than the whole of
the cotton grounds of Egypt, and far more
fitted than the fstter for the growth of the
cotton plant, not only rs being Its native
country, but as lying within the limits Of
the tropical rains, and thus rendering I'M
necessary the great troubiSand expense OF
artificial irrigation"
