Abyssinia.
A recent traveller in Abyssinia says of

A recent traveller in Abyssinia says of
that country:
In the low countries of the Cuolla, es-
pecially in some of the valleys, the cll-
mate is very warm, though quite suppor-
table. In certain parts it is not healthy,
but the parts affected by the malaria are
comparatively few, even in the Cuolla.
The middle as we'll as the higher plains
enjoy an exceptionally favorable climate,
the soil having suff cient moisture to rem
der 1t of an extraordinary fertility. All
the products of the temperate zones and
most of those of the tropical zones pros
per well there; In fact, while in Africa l
never had headache. The climate is
agreeable and not subject TO marked
changes OF temperature.
There are two harvests yearly of grain
and of many other products. Coffee
grows there marvellously well, and Abys-
sinia, Shoa and the neighboring country
might in time become a coffee producing
center for the whole of Europe. Cattle
also abound, because of the abundant
pasturage; but pastoral and agricultural
life are as yet hardly known in Abyssinia.
There is plenty of fine timber adapted for
building purposes, or for furniture, but
the natives destroy the trees without
mercy.
One may say that Abyssinians do not
know how to do anything else except to
make war. Regular and proper laws do
not exist. The peror-negus negast, OF
king of kings-commands the neguses,
who command the ras, the ras command
the governors, and the governors the chiefs
of villages; and this is the political and
Judicial organization of Abyssinia. With
good laws, and some industrial spirit and
a more peaceable disposition, this coun-
try might have great economical devel-
opmcnt.
1t may he called a perfect race. Men
and women are of extraordinary beauty
and robustness, agile and elegant in form.
I have never seen more beautiful race.
In it are combined the perfections of the
Semitic and Aryan races, and it is not TO
be wondered at that it should be so, nat
ural selections finding there no obstacle.
A hunch- backed or MANNED individual is
not to be found amongst the Abyssinians,
even-Wefe one to pay his weight in gold.
They are a war-like people, ever at war,
both at home and abroad, almost without
social order and laws. From this it re-
suits that the weak and the ILL formed
rapidly disappear, and only the strong,
and those very strong, survive. There are
no doctors who take pains to preserve life
in these beings.
The people admire our intelligence, and
believe US to be more than half devils on
account of our inventions. They also ad-
mire our courage, though they cannot
understand how people who SO greatly
appreciate comfort as the Europeans do
can possess military valor.

cheek by jowl, with ears attentiyely listen
ing to the words OF the wondrous machine.
One of the machines has q dozen double
ear tubes attached, so that II persons may
listen to what it is saying at the same time.
To watch the grins and smiles on the II
faces is interesting. There is different
degree of laughter in each, because all are
impressed differently. Here comes an East
Ed young gentleman who knows all about
the phonograph, and heap more too. He
smiles in an ultra-superior manner as his
best girl puts the tubes to her dainty ears.
She is evidently quite delighted with what
she hears, for has not cunning Mr.. Brown
ing sung love song into the speaking tube?
Her pretty smiles induce the becollared
knight by her side to listen too, so he says:
"Maudie, you hold my cane while 1 hear
what it saws" So Maudie takes hold of his
ponderous walking stick, and Sir Lancelot
has his turn at the phonograph.
Bounces in German lady from Troy Hill.
She listens a moment, and then laughs like
a thousand of bricks. She wags her head
from side to side, keeping time with'the air
of the song, and finally puts down the tubes
with a scream of merrlment. ..
"Coom ovare here, Hans" she cries;
"coom an listen. Achl it is goot'
Hans, lengthy young man with blonde
mustache, refuses point blank to come near
the instrument. He declares he wants no
'lectric shocks, he don't. Persuasion is in
vain. He's been there before, and you
can't fool him.
Mr.. Browning says that scores of people
go away every day firmly convinced that an
electric shock will certainly result from any
meddIing with the mysterious mechanism.

STARTING A CHURCH.

RiuoncfoIlv-

Unitnrinns Are Organizing in Pittsburg-AIr.
Andrew Carnegie is Helping Them
Financially.
An attempt, and pretty thoroughly Or
ganized one, is being made to establish a
Unitarian organization in this city. A
meeting was held at the residence of Paul
Winsor, on Sellers street, East End, on
Sunday night, at which Rev. j. G. Town
send preached. So far 20 families have
given their adhesion to the movement, and
as they are influential, the promoters have
no fear that the congregation will soon
be in shape to demand recognition.
Ii was decided at Sunday nights meeting
to perfect the organization, in fact it was
perfected, and to get hall in the central
portion of the city, and it is expected that
charter will be secured ERE long, SO as to be
able to do all business necessary to secure
stability. Though the believers in Unitar-
ianism have not attracted much attention in
this city, they are numerous, but scattered,
some living in the old CITY and East End,
others on the Southside and in Allegheny
City and in Sewickley. The idea is to
secure hall centrally located so that all
may have facilities to get together.
An informal meeting was held at Mr..
Langley's home on South Hiland avenue
last evening. Rev. j. G. Townsend, who
is heading the movement, was present. Mr..
Townsend said that no room had as yet
been selected for temporary services. The
choice wavered between the rooms of the
Mozart Club and the Grand Opera House.
Whichever place be selected a service will
certainly be held next Sunday.
Rev. Mr.. Morehouse, of New York, has
promised to preach, and large attendance
is looked for. The Unitarian Association is
pledged to support the movement with
funds and interest. Mr.. Townsend SAYS
that the progress of Unitarianism in the
States during the past few years has been
enormous.
During the last ten years 1876 new
churches were started, and many others
will shortly begin work. The headquarters
of the belief are Boston, and the New En-
gland people appear 10 have taken far
more kindly to Unitarian tenets than those
of any other portion of the country.
The Unitarian Association has a very
large annual expenditure. 1t pays the sal
aries of all the Unitarian teachers at the
universities, and assists young cougre-
cations with liberal advances Many
old followers of the belief resides in and
around Pittsburg, so that the pioneer of
the enterprise have little fear about filling
their church. 1t is confidently stated that
Mr.. Carnegie and other prominent citizens
regard the liberal nature of the project with
approval, and good deal of material as
sistance is looked for from these quarters.

A bevy of fair damsels will come wheed-
lingly up to the bars and begin to talk
about the ''lovely music;' and how Mrs:
So-and-So got in to hear it the other day"
But all their efforts are vain. Mr.. Browning
won't take the hint, and they have to ask
for permission before they can get in. Alto

way of man is to be met with there. As for
woman-well, it is lucky for himself that
Mr.. Browning is seli-possessed. If he were
otherwise he would have long since sue
cumbed to the charms of beauty. 1t is quite
too fascinating when glorious pair of
azure eyes look sweetly into ones OWL, ,and
soft voice exclaims: "Did you compose that
lovely song, Mr.. Browning; and are you any
relative of Robert Browning, the other poet?"

A DEMENTED WOMAN
Caused No Little Excitement on the South
side Last Night.

Caused No Little Excitement on the South
side Last Night.
The police of the Southside were stimu-
lated to more than usual activity last
night by the presence of an alleged crazy
woman in their district. Even Inspector
McAleese had heard of the matter, and had
gone over to help in capturing her.
The lady, whoever she was, made her
appearance early in the evening, and it was
not long before crowd of several hundred
persons were following at her heels. She is
descr be | by some as being nearly six feet in
height, with strong masculine face. She
wore a pair of boots and carried bread
knife in one hand and bundle wrapped in
a white cloth in the other.
She paraded the different streets, eluding,
the efforts of the officers to overtake her,
and her rambles gave rise to all sorts of wild
stories. 1t was said by some that her apron
was covered with blood; by others that she
had murdered baby on Twenty-sixth
street, and by still others that the strange
apparition was a man in a woinan's attire
carrying baby. The police think that it
was some woman in demented condition.
At last accounts she had not been captured.
