HAULING DOWN THE FLAG.
American Transatlantic Steamers
Sail Under British CoIOrs.

American Transatlantic Steamers to
Sail Under British Colors.
A newspaper issued in Paris publishes the
following account showing that the stars and
stripes will be hauled down from the American
steamships hailng from Philadelphia and pur-
chased for transatlantic traffic by the Inter-
national Navigation Company: The Inter-
national Navigation Company, which has pur-
chased the four Anne lean steamships, the
Pennsylvania, the Ohio, the Illinois and the
In Llama, and which will still charter the Lord
Clyde, Lord Cough, British Crown, British
Prince and British Princess-all OF which YES
sells are known as forming part of the Ameri-
can Steamship Company, plying between
Philadelphia and Liverpool-has the intention
Of sailing tor the future under the British, in
stead of the American flag, as formerly. The
reason of this change is that great economy
will be effected thereby, notably for the reason
that American crews receive higher compensa-
ton than British. The new company hopes
to save 100000 year on each vessel or
$3.50, 900 for the four steamers. The only
American transatlantic steamship company
will therefore di appear when the British flag
flies on its vessels.

The London Times in an article on the Mic
Rragua treaty, readily admits that the treaty
should be judged in America without reference
TO English interests, but England, it says. holds
position OF almost imprcgnuble strength, and
will protest against policy which violates
rights covered by the Clayton Bulwer treaty
1t believes that the better class of Americans
will not favor the scheme, but thinks it rash to
predict the result in Congress. 1t is possible,
the Times says, to construct and manage u
canal in accordance with the Clayton uwer
treaty, while giving America ample security
through pecuniary or other interest in the work,
but even then it is doubtful whether such plan
could be made pleasing to the American peo-
pie, Its England's duty, the Times declares,
to preserve the freedom of international trade

An AbYssinian Feast.

A wedding feast islike all banquets in
this country, more or less composed of
the Abyssinian piece de resistance raw
flesh. If you should happen to be seated
near the open door on these occasions
you may see this course prepared. Au
OK is brought into the compound and his
throat is skillfully cut. Before the ami
NAL has fairly breathed his last SHINING
is commenced. the stomach taken out,
and the flesh cut into long strips and
brought in with the animals heat still in
it to the hungry and impatient guests,
who devour it, not like wild beasts, but
use knives of all kinds from daggers or
swords to pocket knives. The consumer
of this delicacy takes one end of the
strip or string of meat into, his
mouth, placing. it between his
teeth. In his left hand he
holds the meat bodily, and with his right
gives drawing cut with his sabre from
left to right through the meat, ssvering
it close up to his lips, and so hunks his
meal away. This mode of feeding re-
quires some practice, and has its incon-
veniences, especially to people with long
noses and thirst for strong drink; for
it is generally sign that when noses
begin to suffer cutaneous losses from a
too close proximity to dagger or sabre
that the hosts tedge (native drink has
been both plentiful and strong. To
flavor the otherwise insipid taste of raw
flesh large quantities of red pepper are
consumed, ground up with fat into a
paste, and larded over the Wand. Abys-
sinians are quaint in their food, if not
nasty; for some pure ox-gall from the
freshly killed animal serves as picquante
to curry made out of its intestines.
Milk is never used fresh from the COW,
but it is always taken sour, made so by
never washing the utensil in which it is
