view the road and assess damages, consisting
Of Richard Jackson, Qoreman), VIM. G.. Phil
lips, F. Q. Finn ard Messrs. Black and Bid
die, met, last week, on the line of the road.
The proposed road RUS through the farms of
Philip Il. Clark and Robert 1awtlOrn. The
jury fixed the price Of Mr.. Glark's land occu-
pied at $50; that of Mr.. Hawthornes at 500
pr acre and these parties were allowed 81 rs

The English Language.

MorSc's system of teleyraphy is power
ful means OF spreading the English lam
guagc throughout the world. 1t is found
that more matter can be sent in the English
than in any other language. Its simplicity,
conferences, and strength, put it into the
very fore front of the battle between West
ern civilization and the sleepy empire of the
East English capital invested in railroads,
steamships, and lines Of telegraphy, as
though 50 many mighty arteries, is pouring
the resistle>, power and uniting energy Of
all the English-spcaking nations through
the barriers OF heathcni>m. Wherever
English capital goes, there goes with it the
English language progressive, aggressive,
dominant, and unyielding. Japan is about
to adopt it a. a national language; it is
rapidly spreading throughout India; it is
calling pretty loudly at the closed doors of
China; it Is sinking along the shores, and
around the Islands Of Polynesia. Austria
lia i now connected with Earope by an
Eugli,h-spcaking wire, and the GLANDS of
the East Indies are feeling the influence Of
this resi,tle.s tide. And 50 will this vast
current keep flowing on and on till it pene
tTates to the four quarters of the earth.

Theodore Of Abyssinnia.

A few unarmcd Abyssinnans, attracted
by the clamor Of music and shouting, mus
tered courage enough to approach the
standard which waved so gaily in the
mountain gale; and on bollolding one of
their countrymcn ON the ground, they bent
over the body, but quickly rccoiled with
fearful disnay on their faces, eNclaming,
"Todros." ''rndroS -
The words attracted the attention of every
one, and together they strobe toward the
body, joSt,ing each other eagerly in tho en-
dcavor to obtain glimpse Of him the ma
tivcs styled "Todros, Negus, Negashi of
I,iohia'
And what did they gee? The body Of a
native, seemingly half furnished, clad in
coarse upper garments, dngy with wear
and ragged with tear, covering under gar
mcnts Of clean linen.
The face Of deep brown was tie most re-
markablc one in AbysSinnia; it bore the
appearance of one who had passed through
many anxious houls His eyes, now over
spread with deathly film, gave evidence
yet of the piercing power for which they
were celebrated. The mouth was wcl-tlc-
fined and thin-lppcl. The lower lip was
well adapted to express scorn and a trace Of
it was still visible. As he gasp"l his lat,
two rows of whitifh teeth weic disclosed.
Over his mouth two lines archcd to a high
aquilinc nose. The nostrils expanded wide
ly as he struggled to retain the breath
which was rapidly leaving him. The face
was broad. high cllcek-boned, with high,
prominent forehead and oycr-hanging eye
brows. The hair was divided into three
large plaits extending from the forehead to
the back of the neck, which latter appeared
TO be very tower of strength. The body
measured five feet and eight inches, and was
very muscular and broad cheStcd. There
was a character about the features denotno
great iirmncss or obstinacy mingled with
icrocity; but perhaps the latter idea was
suggested upon remembering the many
cruel,ies ascribed to him. And thus was it
that we saw the remains of him whom men
called ThcadoruS, Emperor of AbysSinna,
the descendant of Mcnilck Son of Solo
mon, King Of Kings. Lord of Earth, Con-
queror Of Ethiopia, Rcgencrator of Africa.
and Savior Of Jerusalem, now dying-dying
by his own hand!
The Irish soldiers took hold of his legs
and roughly dragged him to hammock,
where, after two or three gasps, he brcathed
his last

Horrors Of a CoOiie Ship.

Everybody is acquainted with the many
tales of horror which have made famous the
coolie trade, bat it is too generally thought
that those horrors are no longer enacted.
Still, the coolie ships, which are nearly as
bad as the former slave traders, continue to
ply on the Pacific ocean, as has been dipIo-
matically divulged to the world in the recent
celebrated case of the slip Marie Louise.
This coolie trade is conducted especially be-
tween Macao. in China. and Callao. Peru,
where the unfortunate and decoyed Chinese
are used to extract the little guano yet re-
naming on the Chincha Islands, or to work
on the new beds discovered at Macabi, La
Independence, and other bays along the Pc
ruvan coast. The ships engaged in the
coolc traffic are almost exclusively Italian
or Spanish. Tie last tragedy that occurred
in connection with that trade, happened on
the Sth of June last, on board the Italian
vessel Napoleonc C0mdroo, which sailed
from Macao, with crew Of 40 men, 663
coolies for Callao, and s 600 packets Of fire
works. After a lapse Of two days the in
terpretcr discovered plot among the
emigrants to seize the ship. The captain
Immediately ordered one Eat Of them to be
confined in the hold, but the next day those
who remained on deck armed themselves
with knives, Delaying pins, pieces Of wood,
in short, anything they could lay their
hands on, and attacked the crew, who dc
Tended themselves with muskets aud reyoly-
ers. The coolies then masscd Themselves on
the forecastle and set fire to the vessel, hop
ing that the crew would set to work at the
pumps to extinguish the flames. Daring
that time they had also freed their comrades
and murdered the few sailors they could got
hold of. The captain, seeing what they
were doing, ordered the boats to be lowered
and left the ship with the remainder Of his
men. Some sailors who remained on bard
with the doctor, the magazine man, and the
interpreter, were unable to prevent the
flames from reaching the fireworks, and the
ship blew up, scattering the fragments Of
the mutincers in every direction under the
very eyes Of the escaped crew.

The Baltimore Sun says: "a citizen
of South Carolina, an old man, who is
wholly disconnected with political life,
writes to the New York Daily Bwleti,.
3 sad account OF the Overwhelming
load OF irresponsible depravity and
ignorance which has crushed them to
the earth. The appeal he makes to
the North to consider their case is
most mournfnl and touching. He
says 1T is simply awful to be com.
PEELED to live and rear children amid
scenes OF such political corruption and
profigacy,' and makes an affecting
invocation to Northern magnanimity
to ask what can be done to save what.
ever is fair. lovely and of good report
from extinction or worse fate
'All this social anarchy is the result
OF the political deviltry which North
ern politicians, seeking their selfish
ends and the continued domination of
their party. inflicted upon the South
by what they called the policy of re.
construction, which, instead, was
simply destruction"
