OBITUARY.-Orestes A. Brownson, who died
in Detroit Monday, was born In Stockbridge,
VT, Sept. 16, 1903, and was to great extent
self7educated man. He was united with the
Presbyterian church at Balston, N. Y, in
1922, but his theological knowledge being but
slight, and his mind easily confused, he be-
came Universalist, after severe mental
struggle, in 1925, and soon a preacher Of his
new creed. He entered boldly into schemes of
political reform, wrote much, and edited papers
and periodicals in defence of his views, but he
was still in state of unrest, and, being at
tracted by DR.. Channing's writings, became a
Unitarian pastor in 1882, and devoted himself
to the study of French and German literature,
philosophy and theology. Pushing onward he
soon landed in the socialistic views of Robert
Owen, though still clinging to some of his
earlier religious convictions. He organized the
Society for Christian Union and Progress in
Boston in 1886, and retained the pastoral charge
OF 1t till he ceased preaching in 1843. The
same year be published his "New Views of
Christianity. Society and the Church." decid-
ed avowal of infidel doctrines. In 1888 he es-
tablished the Boston Quarterly Review, of
which he was the proprietor and almost sole
writer during the five years of his existence In
tise in the form Of novel, entitled, "Gharles
Elwood, or the Tnfidel Converted" His views
having changed shortly afterwards, only one
edition of it was published in the United States
but it passed through several editions in Eng
land. Still unable to find rest, he sought it in
the Catholic church, to which he become con-
vert in 1874, and from that time remained in
its communion. From 1874 till 1854 at which
time it was suspended, he edited Brownson's
Quarterly Review, defending with signal abli-
ty the doctrines of the Catholic church. He
published "The Spirit Rapper" 1854, ''The
Convert, or Leaves from my Experience
Q857), and 1.-THE American Republic" 1885,
BE was at one time invited to accept profess
orship in the Catholic University of Ireland,
but declined the honor, and has resided for
several years past in Detroit.

The Campaign i'm Abyssinia.

LONDON, April 18.-An Alexandria, Egypt,
letter of the 9Th says:
A statement in a former letter that the truce
arranged between the Egyptians and Abyssin-
iaDs after the battle of GOurra had been brok-
en- There has been further fighting. and as at
first stated the result was so much in favor of
Egypt that King John gladly resumed pacific
negotiations. Now, however, it is alleged that
the Eye army is in great difficulty, and
King John demands the abandonment of the
country, and the cession of Massowah. Furth-
er fighting will probably be preferred to such
admission of superiority.
