and vigor of Europeans. Opposed to him,
however, arc the $4,000 soldiers Of King
John, who arc said to be armed will, the
best repeating rifles; and it is lately an
nounced that the great nation of Gallas
has made an alliance with King John and
will supply him 10000 well mounted
troops. Ii this should prove true, the
chances are that we shall soon hear Of the
annihilation of the Italian army or its
disastrous retreat from the country. 1t is
needless to detail the movements which
led to the present situation, suffice it that
they grew out of the English and Egyp-
tian invasions Of Abyssinia, and are Incl
dent to that fever for colonization which
has seized on all the governments Of Eu-
rope.
The Abyssinian ruler modestly claims to
be descended from King Solomon and the
Queen Of Sheba, the son Of the latter, born
soon after the return from Jerusalem, be-
ing founder of the line. The Turks add
to this Il Mohammedan prophecy that if
the Abyssinians succeed in getting u foot
hold on the ether side of the Red sea,
they will destroy Mecca; so the sultan
captured Massowah and thus it came
under the control of Egypt, and so Eng
land was involved. The latter captured
the capital, King Theodore killed himself
and his son was taken to England, where
he died. The next heir, Prince Kassa,
was crowned in 1872 us Johannes John,
the ssNegus of Abyssinia. The Egyptians
sent 1900 men against him, and the en-
tire force was massacred. Another COM
mand, somewhat larger, was sent under
European officers, and not man escaped
to tell the story of its humiliation. Then
10000 men and magnificent equip
ment were sent, with British and
American officers, including the late
Gen. Loring; they were disastrously
defeated, and not more than half
escaped The brave Abyssinians were
left alone few years, and then, for
diplomatic reasons, the British and
Egyptian claims were handed over to Italy.

And Chancellor Bismarck must have

The situation presented at the opening of
the new year; for his victory over the op-
position last year, and the enlargement Of
MS military force, were followed by
equally favorable action in the reichstag
early In January, and it then appeared
that he had succeeded in making peace
with the car, and leaving the latter to
quarrel 1t out with Austria. But later
events are not so auspicious The Rus
SLAMS are pouring troops by tens of tholl-
sands into the border provinces, and con-
structing railroads on purely military de-
signs, SO that 100000 soldiers can
be concentrated on the German or Aus
trian frontier in a single week All the
Austrians in Russia without a special per-
nit have been ordered 70 get out; all the
Polish officers in the Russian service
have been transferred from Poland and the
frontier to interior parts of the empire,
and all the konors of the Russian court
have been bestowed upon the Pan
6lavists and the war party All this
means, the diplomats Of western Europe
say, that the car has made up his mind
once for all, and that the two powers of
central Europe must now take their
choice-either settle the eastern ques-
tion," the rule Of Bulgaria, ETC., at once.

guns, and Austria but IS, 600 men and 100
guns in form for frontier fighting
But i'll the comnaissary line Russia is,
rs usual, far behind, and the suffering
among her troops is intense. On the
Galcian frontier typhus fever is ravaging
their camps, and the shelter is so poor that
many deaths have occurred from cold and
general privation. At Warsaw every
available worker is pressed into the task
of preparing and forwarding commissary
and medical stores; for all accounts repre-

winter. Special sanitary corps are organ
lied and hurried forward. In military
circles in Berlin it is confidently predicted
that the Russians must move or become
totally helpless, and cannot remain IN
their present position two months; and
though we may well suspect that the wish
is father to the thought, it is admitted
that there is much distress. The Aus
trians also suffer greatly, being badly
housed; but the commissiariat is good,
and the sick are rapidly removed to COM
modious hospitals The Austrian govern
ment, however, has decided not to in.
crease the frontier force at present, but to
wait till better accommodations arc Sc
cured And the ostensible reason for al
this misery is that the Bulgarians have
elected the German Prince Ferdinand to
rule over them, and the car will not have
it SO. The Pan-Slavists insist that none
but Slavs shall rule among the Slavic
peoples.
Gen. Annenkoff, who plans the rail
road construction for the Russian govern
ment, is q man of great resources and
many brilliant successes. He planned the
construction of the new railroads in
southern Russia and the great trunk line
called the Trans Caspian Bokhara, in
Asia, which gives ready access to all that
section of Asia and could be used, as the
English do not fail to note, to throw great
masses of soldiers upon the frontiers of
India in a short time All the Russian
railroads are constructed as much for
military as commercial purposes, and the
task of Gen. Annenkeff is much like that

PRESIDENT GARFIELD's LAST LETTER.
F'rom Browns Life of Garfeld,)


From Browns Life Of Garfeld)
Her sons life is too well known to need
repetition. Suffice it to say that, as he
and her other children grew in ability,
they took care that she should enjoy the
reward of her early labors for tfre1n. In
the campaign of 1880 sGrandma" Garfield
was an object Of interest second only to
her illustrious son; and when it was seen
at the Inauguration, March 4, 1881, that
he had given her conspicuous place, the
hearts of the American people were deeply
touched. His mother, wife and CaugEter
sat just behind him when he took the
oath, and beside them Mrs. Hayes. AS
soon as he had uttered the last words Of
the obligation he turned and tenderly
kissed the aged mother ana then the wife.
Soon after the mother returned to Ohio,
and was with her daughter, Mrs. Larra-
bee, at Solon, in that state, when the great
affection came. On the 18th of August
the wounded president had one of those
delusive periods of strength and hope,
which were such marked feature of his
case, and, calling for pen and paper, was
propped up in bed to write his last letter,
in these words:
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. II, 1881.
DEAR MorHER-Dont be disturbed by conflict
ing reports about my condition. 1t is true am
still weak and on my back, but lam gaining every
day and need only time and patience to bring me
through. Give my love to all the relatives and
friends and especially to sisters Hetty and Mary.
Your loving son, JAMES A. GARFIELD.
Mrs Eliza Garfield, Hiram, O.
She who had first kiss in life and his
first as president had the melancholy sat
isfaction of receiving his last letter. After
the magnificent funeral ceremonies she
retired with the rest of his family to Men
tor, and thereafter her once strong frame
yielded steadily to the weakening in
tluence Of age, till on the 21st she passed
away with but little pain.

netrothols I'm BuIraria.

Often the Bulgarian peasant maiden
undergoes heightened tribulations, of
hope deferred and unkind disappoint-
ments, between her betrothal and mar
riage. Ii her lover is poor and unable to
accumulate the stipulated price set upon
her head, and which must be paid before
she can become a bride, the wedding is
sometimes postponed for years. Some
times the parent Of the prospective bride
is q considerate father, and in case the
whole amount cannot be raised, accepts
portion, and gives the young couple time
to pay the balance by their united exer-
tions.
But quite as often the Cruel parent"
will harken to no such compromise, and
no such loose, unbusinesslike settlement,
and until their ship comes in" the daugh-
ter has to hoe and reap in her fathers
fields Always after the betrothal, how
ever, which is public ceremony gone
through with amid much wine drinking
and feasting, the young couple are al
lowed to bill and coo within the limits of
Oriental propriety, and if the fates pre-
sumo to use them too harshly they some
times accomplish happiness by an elope-
ment. In that case there come the usual
tears and forgiveness upon the runaway
couples return, and usually some sort of
q compromise between no payment at all
to the exacting father and the sum stipu-
lated at the betrothal. Thomas Stevens

The Use of Henna.
The henna is an important article of an
eastern lady's toilet, particularly ON fest
i've occasions; it is prepared from tho
leaves of medium sized tree and serves
to dye the feet of the women and children
rcd. This henna, so indispensable to
eastern ladies, is used for two purposes
as remedy for boils, prickly heat, itching
and the like, and as an ointment for the
hands and feet The leaves, resembling
those of the myrtle, are not efiicacious III
used alone; they arc dried, pulverized and
mixed with some lemon juice and water.
A stiff paste is made of this, which must
be exposed to the sun for several hours
when used 1t is again softened with lemon
Juice.
The lady who is about to undergo the
dyeing process is stretched out full length
on her back and is not allowed to stir.
The paste is put on the sole of the feet,
the toes included, about an inch thick
the upper part of the feet is never dyed
soft leaves are then applied as a covering
and the whole is tightly wrapped in linen.
The same process is gone through with
the palm of the hand and the fingers. To
keep the application in its place she must
remain all night perfectly still without
moving; for no other parts but those
named must have the dye, and a smudge
on the back of the hand or on the finger
joints is considered great disfigurement.
All this time she is dreadfully teased
by the swarms of mosquitoes and flies,
but she dare not move to drive them
away. In the upper classes women slaves
have to watch all night by their mistress,
to keep these plaques off with fans until
the paste can be removed in the morning.
The same process must be gone through
three nights running, to obtain the de-
sired dark red tint; then it sticks for
about four weeks and ressts all washing,

THE SCHOOL LANDS.
Some Figures on the Leasing of the
school and University Lands.

Auditor Grant tells a Boomerang re-
porter that there are 6,125 sections, or
1920, 900 acres of school and university
lands in Wyoming. OF this number
46, $50 belong to the university. The
university lands are to be leased by the
territorial board, while the commissioners
of each county are authorized to rent the
school lands in their district.
There seems to be a difference of
opinion as to how the lease bill shall be
interpreted" says Mr.. Grant. Section
8 of the bill provides for leasing the uni
versity lands, but nothing is said regard
ing school lands. Further along, how
ever, the bill says the territorial board
may make provisions for leasing the school
and university lands as provided for in
section s. Now, the question is, does the
bill mean that both school and university
lands shall be leased, or simply the uni
versity lands?
II am of the opinion that the intention
was to include both, but | have written to
the secretary of the interior for a copy of
the bill and for such instructions as to the
duties of the territorial board as he may
deem necessary"
Mr.. Grant estimates that from the
leasing of these lands the university
would realize $4.6gs and the schools
$77,47S.4 per annum. The latter sum
would maintain the schools of the terri
tory.
Hon. w. H. Holiday agrees with the
auditor in the opinion hat the matter of
leasing lands should be attended to at
once. Mr.. Holiday thinks the matter of
sufficient Importance to warrant the call
ing Of an extra session of the legislature.
