The Late Judge sempIe.
From .he Riehmona WING. lsth.1

From the Richmond Whg, l3th.l
Nr. VIM. NJ. Semple, editor Of the New Orleans
CRESCENT, whose death in New Orleans last Fri.
day was reported by telegraph IN the last issue
of the Whig, was extensively known and very
warmly esteemed 10 this state. He was a native
of Essex county, and had numerous relatives in
the Rappahannock valley, as well as In other por-
lions OF the State. Before going South some
ten years ago he was connected successfully with
the press Of Fredericksburg, Richmond and
LyDchburg. The position he held at the time OF
his death on so important journal as the New
Orleans CREsCENT is sufficient evidence of his
ability and knowledge. he possessed in ad-
dition, the most admirable qualities as a man, so
that be never failed 10 secure the warm attach
ment of those into association with whom he was
thrown. The fate that awaits us all has befallen
him before he had reached the full meridian of
life. We tender to his relatives and friends our
sincere coincidence.
GFrem the West Baton Rouge Sugar Planter lsthl
This gentleman. so long connected with the
New Orleans CRESCENT as associate editor, died
in that city on Friday morning ast. Few men
stood higher in that community in the estimation
OF the public than Judge Semple. Polite and
courteous in manner, his unassuming disposition
won him the esteem of all who enjoyed his ac-
quaintanee. As writer upon political or other
subjects. he had no superior in that city, as the
columns of the CRESCENT for years past plainly
indicated. His remains we're followed to their
last home by many friends.

An ABYssNIAN BEAU.-The natives distil a
spirit from their barley, which said to be some
thing between gin and hollands in flavor. / have
n yet tasted any. Very thick is the throng
round a Parsee belonging to the commisssrist,
who is buying up all he can get for government
at a dollar for nineteen pounds. Near him is
another little crowd here another cOmmissariat
employee il similar engaged in buying up ghee-
that is clarified or boiled butter-for the native
troops. Il does not look very nice, and what
does not make the sight the pessanter is, that the
women, when they have emptied the jars into the
commisssrist casks, invariably wipe them out with
their hands, and then plaster the remainder upon
their heads.
An Abyssinian does not consider himself prop
erly dressed unless his hair is shining with OIL not
put on or rubbed on, but plsstered on, and run.
ming down his neck as the sun melts il. The idea
is not according TO ideas pleasant, but il is
matter of taste. When an Abyssnian really wants
10 make great effect he uses butter, not ghee,
ard puts il on until his head is as white as that of
a London footman. Then he is conscious that he
has indeed done it, and walks with dignity be-
fitting his appearance. There were severalswells
Of the period got up at the market, and as they
stood under the shelter Of their straw umbrellas
for the sun would melt il aud destroy the whole
enect-I could not but wonder at and admire the
different forms which human vanity take.
Letter from the British Camp
The New Orleans crescent. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1866-1869, 1868-04-19

UNIQUB ISTEsvIEw.-The interview between
Gen. Napier and the friendly Abyssinian Prince
Kassal. of Tigre, was very unique. The British
general rode TO the place Of meeting on an ele
phant an animal that the Abyssinians have never
succeeded in tanning. They went through the
usual salutations neither understanding the other,
and then entered the tent with the staff officers.
Ksssal is young man Of thirty five years OF age.
Bis face, Of q dark olive color. is intellectual, but
he wears csreworn and wearied expression.
He wore the Abyssinian costume-a white robe
or tioga embroidered with crimson round his
body. and the Powered silk shirt which marks
those high in Office around the king. His dark
black hair was arranged in careful plaits, which,
drawn back from the forehead, are tied by piece
of ribbon round the back of the neck. he was
presented with double barreled rifle and some
glass goblets, treated TO a review and some port
VINE, and induced 10 promise protection and sup
plies 10 the British troops. On the return visit
Gen. Napier was surprised at the discipline and
skill of KAssals troops, which were reviewed
before him. he was treated to some bread and
beer, and presented with a lions skin and war
usppings, and gray mule, which he rode back
TO camp.

The Herald's Washington correspondent writes:
81 am informed Senator Stewart, Of Nevada, at q
fashionable restaurant in this city. INDUCED in
unseemly display Of prejudice, for which he was
rebuked by a gentleman who happened 10 be
present and who deplores the loss Of dignity ex-
bibited by senators Of the present day. The gen.
tleman called Mr.. Stewards attention TO the fact
that Col. Forney, the clerk Of the Senate, vas
allowed daily 70 publish In his paper articles
Brejudgng the presidents case, and asked II such
conduct was becoming TO high officer Of the
court OF impeachment. Mr.. Stewart replied that
there was more reason TO complain Of the gentle.
men in the reporters gallery than OF the clerk OF
the Senate. The conduct Of the correspondents,
who daily ridiculed the high court and its pro-
ceediDgs, called. in his Judgment, more strongly
for senatorial interference and condemnation than
that of the virtuous ForDey. Mr.. Stewart further
said that for some time he had been considering
the propriety of investigating the reportorisl
corps, with view to put them on their good be-
hayiOr.n

OKRA HEMP.-The Rev. Washington Thomas, OF
this county, has left at our Office q specimen Of
hemp-if We may use the expression for want OF
a better Dsme-procured from the bark of okra
stalks which demonstrates the value OF that plant
for purposes hitherto unknown. II Ia both strong
and plisble, and apparently well adapted as ma
terial for rope, bsgging, paper and other purpO.
ses TO which fax ia usually applied. Those curious
in such matters can examine the specimen by
calling at our Office. Mr.. Thomas estimates that
a thousand TO fifteen hundred pounds Of this ma
terial could be readily raised on an acre. Should
il prove equal TO hemp, which il quoted In the
Louisville market at $40 per ton, okra growing
might be made profitable business.

Precisely at seven o'clock we presented our
selves ct the commandant's, Mary looking very
pretty in her transparent white dress brilliant
sack Of Tunis silk, and necklets and bracelets Of
coral and palm.seeds. The little thing had such
loving dark eyes, such soft bloom On her cheeks,
and such sweet mouth, that could hardly blame
the general for wishing to have her sit beside him

would have given up all his privileges as host, bat
