DR.. LEONARD, the prohibition candi-

take little ale, but it was done by the
absolute command of his physicians, and
that if he hadn't taken it he would have
died. Very well; how sad it would have
been if, prohibition prevailing, the good
doctor had been unable to get his ale.

Between Abyssinnia and the Red Sea is
tract of low, almost waterless desert land.
forming truncated triangle twenty to thirty
miles wide at its northern end, near Masso-
wah. but expanding to almost 200 miles on
its southern border. Geographically this
tract, which contains about $4,000 square
miles, is part Of Abyssinia; but that country
never seems to have really exercised any
authority over the nomad tribes inhabiting it.
and the Turks took formal possession of it in
1858. The Turks, however, have only occu-
pied Suakin and Massowab, with occasionally
some adjoining districts; SO that the country
has been in the actual possession of the nomad
natives. BY irman issued on May %, 1865,
this portion of the coast was given to the
Egyptian Government. The population of
this strip, may, perhaps, reach to 400, 600
The inhabitants are chiefly Daril and Afar. A
powerful nation, known in history as enemies
OF the Abyssiuians, once occupied the south
ern part of this strip of land, and it is possible
that the present Harrar may be the last re-
mains Of this Kingdom of Adela or Adul.
The ports OF his line Of coast are claimed"
with more or less reason by various European
nations. Massowah is at present occupied by
Indian troops; Ed or Ayth was bought by a
French company in 1870, but this was consid
cred by the Turks as a private purchase and
tho Turkish flag was planted there in 1862;
and Assab with some fifty miles of coast, is
claimed and now occupied BY Italy. Turkey
has always claimed to rule as far as the
Strait of Babel andeb, within which Assab
is situated, and therefore the Egyptian Gov
eminent, as the heir of Turkey in the Red Sea,
very naturally objects to claims founded upon
purchases from and treaties with the native
chiefs and sultans of the district
England has garrisoned Perrin, an island in
the strait itself, about one and half miles
from the Arabian coast and ten to eleven from
the Egyptian, and has also taken formal pos
session of the Islands of Musha and Fiat, at
the entrance to the Bay Of Tsjura, outside Of
the strait The French possession of Obock,
with an area Of 1870 square miles, lies outside
the strait. The harbor is not good one, and

A PHYSICIANS Evidence.

People, as a general thing, endorse
medicine according to effect produce
