Fate Of tho Egyptian Armies In Abyssinia.
A Paris correspondent kilograms an
account of IN interview with An officer in the
Egyptian army, who gives circmstantial de.
tails of the horrible events which have taken
place in Abbyssinia during the attempts OF
the Egyptians to chastise the Abyssinians.
Thero have been two expeditions. The first,
which was dispatched on October 10, 1872,
consisted Of 4, 600 men. It was surprised in =
deflle Of Gourdel and massacred to the last
man. The second expedition, Of {, 600 men,
started in January last. It met the Abyssin-
ians in defle OF Goura and was over
whelmed, Jour thousand men being killed.
The Abyssinian king then went into the in
terror ard, according to the latest reports, has
reprsted whist he did in the defles of Gourdel
and 0oura by again crushing an army Of
Egyptians. The details Of this, as well as OF
other expeditions, are guarded with great Sc
sresy.
The Mountain MEADOW Murderer to be Shot.
John D. Lee, the leader in the Noun
tain Meadow Massacre has at last been con-
fronted by justice. In the court atBeayer, on
the 10th, Judge Bozeman passed sentence up
on him. In doing SO he called attention to
the atrocity Of the crime, the inability here

that the conspiracy to murder was WIDE
