Rsao Journal, October IA.
Yesterday was q horrible day. and con.
sequently the attendance at the Fair
grounds was rather slim. The stock pa.
rads was tho irst attraction, but II was
rather q slim affair In comparison with
the exhibit Of previous years.
The Pavilion presented . much better
appearance yesterday forenoon than any
previous day OF the week. The cases are
not 90 completely Allied as some years
heretofore, but ali the articles on exhibi.
ton are OF fine material and finished
workmanship. Everything ID arranged
tsstefully. All the space on the first floor
has been taken up and those in charge
have been obliged to place the exhibit
Of bread and other eatables In a case
on the upper floor. The White House
emporium has one orner filled up
with a. enhancing an effect a. blankets.
v~aiises. suspsndsrs. and indeed oil
articles OF gsntlsmsn's clothing can
possibly produce. E. A. Allen has one
section filled with ample chrsmos. pio-
turs cards, e~sssls. etc. This q 8 Ii
very attractive to seekers after forsl de-
signs. The special premiums offered by
our business mon occupy Q case at the
end Of the hall. The rewards for the
finest exhibits in various departments
are oil beautiful. and we'll worth the
effort to gain. The samples Of porce-
lain painting are delicate in design, and
executed With the touch Of . natural
artist. There are . dozen portraits fn.
ished In the style known - thu Cameo

fifteen years old. This manner Of re.

write in haste, but will sum up my
impression Of Abyssinia. The King is
rapidly growing mad. He cuts off the
noses of those who take snuff, and the
lips of those who smoke. The other day
a man went to salute Ras Aloula. In
saluting him his tobacco-box dropped
out. Ras Aloula struck him with his
sword, and his people finished him. The
King is hated more than Theodore was.
Cruel to degree, be does not, however,
take life. He cuts of the feet and hands
of people who offend him. He puts out
their eyes by pouring hot tallow into
their ears. Several came to tell me this
demonstrated with the King against
his edict forcing men TO become Chris
tians from MussIlman. He said they
wished it. ! also demonstrated about
the tobacco edict, but il was of no 1se.
No one can travel without the Kinks
order if he be foreigner. You can buy
nothing without the Kings order, no one
will shelter you without his order-in
fact, no more complete despotism could
exist. 1t cannot last; for the King will
go on from one madness TO another.
Orders were given that 10 one was TO
approach me; nor was | to speak to any.
The officer who conducted me to the
King, the second in command to Aloula,
met his uncle and cousin in chains and
burst not ask why they they were chain.
ed. The King is a man of some forty
five years, a sour, ill.favored looking be-
ing. He never looks you in the face,
but when you look away he glares ut
you like tiger. He never smiles. his
look, always changing, is one of thor
ouch suspicion. Hated and hating all,
can imagine no more unhappy man.
Ayarlcious above all his people, who do
not lack this quality, his idea of a free
port is that fleets Of steamers will ar
rive from the Powers of Europe with
presents for him, to which he viii reply

Eegro's Land of Promise.
Georgla Exchange


On Friday last Elijah Gordon, colored,
reached Hawkinsvile, Ga, after an alb.
sence of about ten Years in Liberia.
About ten years ago large party OF
colored people left Hawknsviile for
LIBERIA country represented TO them
as the 'laud Of promise"-5,0 600 miles
across the "briny deep" Ia the party
were Caesar Brown and his wife, grand
father and grandmother Of Elijah Cor
don, Little Granny" and two uncles
and two aunts. "Llge" was then about
eight or nine wears Of age. lie is nov
about eighteen or nineteen years Of age,
and has some education, and can tell
great deal about his life in Liberia.
Cesar Brown and his wife are dead.
Little Granny has also passed away,
and his two uRcles and aunts have also
found graves in that far.off land. Lige's
father is Charles Gordon, a wel-to-do
colored man of this county, and last
Christmas Charles sent his boy $50 to
pay bis passage from Liberia TO New
York. The vessel was forty-one days on
the trip-the distance estimated at $500
miles.
Lige says that the emigrants, on reach-
ing Liberia, take the fever. and many of
them die. Nearly all of them would re-
turn Immediately ifthey had the money
lie describes the climate as very warm
no difference between summer and
winter. Coffee and ginger are the only
money crops. The people live on fruits
and "casadas," kind OF root something
like a sweet potatoe. These crops are
never gathered, but are taken out of the
ground as they are wanted for food.
Plows are not used in the cultivation of
the land. Lige says a cotton seed plant
cd when they arrived ten years ago,
made a large stock, which grew like
tree, and was still growing and bearing
cotton when he lett. The people have
no stock. The natives subsist in a nude
state, living upon natural products

hate each other aud are continually at
war. He does not think that the cOun-
try is improving any, as the main efforts

the country, are devoted TO plans or
means 10 obtain money TO return to the
United States on. But We saw last

TAs Lsvsiy Russia. Ewprsss.

Rumors were abroad some time ago Of
the i'll health Of the Empress. Her
Majesty, on the contrary, is in perfect
health, and a. strong as her interesting
position will allow. The cause that gave
rise to these runors is rather amusing.
Count vorouxoh, the friend and com
panion Of the Emperor while he was
Cxare wits, was attached TO the person Of
the Csar at the court, VIII ch is nov at
Gatchiua, where he lived. His wife,
the Countess. could not take up her resi-
depce with her husband owing to her
health. her position being one lin which
every lady likes to be who loves her
lord" but she visited him often and WIS
much with the Empress. The idea of
being shut out from the court for six
weeks at least annoyed the Countess
dreadfully, but what was TO be done?
some means must be devised to prevent
such Q forced abstinence, and with
woman's wit she soon found way out
Of her difficulty. On the morning Of the
eventiul day, without letting her attend
ants know that she was unwcll, she
started IN q carriage 10 Gatchina, and

Their majesties stood sponsor for the
child, vino is named Alexander, after
the Emperor. A short time afler this
event another circumstance happened
which still more added TO the force Of
the rumors concerning the health of
the Empress II was even said by some
papers that her brain was affected; but,
happily, all there tales are without the
slightest foundation. Her majesty is
much loved in Russia, her manners al

Guiteau' Courtslip.

London Dispatch to the New Yo.k Herald.
A gentleman connected with will
known fapily in New York, having Just
arrived in London from New York, calf
ed at this Office TO day and gave me the
following facts about GuiteaG: On the
death Of a prominent New York oili5Ill
last October or November, tiuiteau, hay
ing become acquainted with the will OF
the deceased, began to write letters Of
fering himselfto the daughter and to fol-
low her about whenever she appeared
in the street. He wrote 10 her saying
that be had the promise OF the mission
to Vienna, worth $4,000 year, r,and add.
ing that as she had coed income they
would do very well abroad. His letters
were generally written very closely on
tbs back of visiting cards. The lady
was very much annoyed at his constant
opportunities, especially when he fol-
lowed her for several Sundays to Calva-
ry Church. Eventually the lady had to
seek the protection of her brother, who
gave the matter into the hands OF q de
tective, and Guiteau was cautioned
wheieupon he stopped his prosecutions.
He also sent the lady political speeches,
said TO be remarkably well written.
The gentleman believes that Guiteau
was at that time little daft, vet sane
enough in pursuit of what he consider
ed his own interests.
