Our ASyssininu Correspondence.

published on Monday graphican enter
tanning description, by our Abyssinian cores
pendent, of the meeting between the King OF
Tigre and Sir Robert Napier at Mai Debar,
with the leading events which preceded
the fall Of Magdsla. The British COM
mander-in- Chief set out for this meeting
with a column of six hundred infantry,
three hundred cavalry, small party Of
engineers and four twelve-pounder pieces of
artillery. King Casa came to it escorted by at
least three thousand men, horse and foot-or
rather mules, ponies and foot-mingled in
strange confusion. Most of the natives were
armed with firearms, muskets and fowling-
pieces Of every make and fashion. They also
carried sword and shield. The rest were
armed with spears. The COARSE whitey-brown
cotton cloth worn by the footmen; the red
ends to the cloth and collar with long ends of
some fur distinguishing the chiefs; the lions
names worn around the neck of every great
warrior; the richly colored, long brocaded
silk costumes Of men of more Importance; the
red, green or violet velvet mantles of few
very great men; the light colored silk hand
kerchiefs and the white metal tiaras of the
generals. as well as the variety of British uni
forms and the scarlet trappings of Sir Robert
Napier's elephants, must have heightened the
picturesque effect of the display, of which the
large scarlet tent Of the King was the central
point. The formal nothings to which the con-
versation in public between the King of Tigre
and the British Commander in Chief was con-
fined were followed by more serious discus
sion Of matters of interest at private inter-
view. The King desired the assistance of Sir
Robert against his rivals for the throne Of
Abyssinia, Menilek, King of Shoa, and Gobazzi,
King Of Lasta. Shoa and Lasta were independ
ent kingdoms until conquered by the late Theo-
dorus. AS soon as Menilek and GObazzi dis
covered that the star of Theodorus was on the
wane, each aspired to the imperial mantle
which was fast slipping off his shoulders. Our
correspondent anticipated a very pretty little
triangular duel between Casa and his two
rivals when the British army evacuated the
country. Now that the Abyssinian war is
ended, the Emperor committed suicide, and
the British actually leaving the country, we
find that, notwithstanding Sir Roberts dplo-
matte refusal at the military council to inter-
fere in any way with the internal affairs of
Abyssinia, the choice of Theodorus' successor
mas been determined by British authority, that
the dynasty of the defunct monarch is declared
extinct, and that Gobazzi, of Lasta, has been
named and is to be crowned king, and that
Abyssinia will become virtually British pro-
vince. The precedents Of the history of British
domination abroad have not been violated.

which at 40 much cost OF blood and treasure
had been swept away, the destruction of the
monarchy again and the establishment of a
system of government which cunningly but
somewhat inconsistency attempted to recon
cile all the existing orders and interests OF the
three kingdoms. That system has lasted with
some little tinkering in the interval, for well
nigh two hundred years. The world, however,
has been marching on during all these years
A new world has sprung up on the American
Continents new world guided and controlled
by the will Of the people-the success Of
which year by year echoes loudly over Great
Britain and over Europe. France has passed
through great revolutions revolution which,
in spite of its many faults, has resulted in the
permanent establishment Of the power Of the
people, In recent years Germany has fol-
lowed France, Russia is preparing to follow
Germany, Austria is making liberal strides,
and even Turkey is striving to become con-
stitutional. All old things are passing away.
All things are becoming, as they must become,
new. Great Britain feels this, and is already
yielding to the force of the current. How
things are in the three kingdoms we know
Whittier they are tending is q secret which is
as yet concealed in the womb Of the future.

WATCH THE LITTLE FEET.

WATCH THE LITTLE FEET.
= = Mother watch the little feet.
Climbing DER the garden welI,
Bounding through the busy street.
Ranging cellar, shed, and hall.
Never count the moments lost,
Meyer mind the time 1t costs;
Little feet viii go astray:
= Guide them. mother, while you may.
Mother. watch the little hand,
Picking berries by the way,
Making houses in the sa6d.
Tossing mp the fragrant hay,
Never dare the question AJAX,
"Why to me this weary tlskf"
Those tame little hands may prove,
Messengers of Truth and love.
Mother, watch tn Q liitlstoDgue.
Prattling eloquent and wild,
What Is said and whatis sung,
By the happy, joyous child;
Catch tho world while yet unspoken,
Stop the vow before It's broken;
The same tongue my yet proclaim
g9v BleAaipgs in Sayior's name.
Mother, watch the lit lie heart,
Beating warm and soft for you;
Wholesome lessons now impart,
Keep, oh keep thst young heart true,
a,s Ext rieatDg every weed,
Sowing good and precious seed;
Harvest rich you then may see,
RiPening for eternity.

PoLITIcAL VAGARIEs.--It is really anu
sing to read the wonderful predictions and
magnioquent appeals made by our Demo.
cratic cotemporaries few days previous TO
the November election, We select o few
extracts. The Reading Gazette said:
"Radicalism cheated them (the people, in
"October. Radicalism has been found out !;
"the people have found it out Mr.. Seymour
"has remorselessly exposed it."
What remorseless and cruel man Mr.
Seymour must have been. But as he neces-
Eariy has an abundance of that commodity
on hand since the election, he should distri.
butte it freely among his followers. Remorse
for the past is often powerful agent in
bringing about reformation.
Again, in the same issue, friend Getz says
"October elections were but breeze The
Democratic Tornado in November will up
"root the Radical party to the last little
scrub. oak left in the concern
Well, the Democratic Tornado has passed
over us, aud like the man who attempted
to cool his coffee, by blowing terrifically
into bis cup, only burnt his mouth without
accomplishing his purpose.
