Great Excitement and lndigna-

' 49, Result.

ROAE, Marcn 4.-Euller O0tdllS OI
the defeat of the Italians in Africa
have been received here, and it appears
that they were completely routed. The
Italian army was divided into three
columns, under Generals Albertone,
Alimondi and 'Darbormide, with a
brigade under General ELENA as q re-
serve. The Italians captured the passes
leading to Adowa, the capital Of Ngre.
and General Albertone's column then
advanced on Abbacarima 1t was soon
afterwards attacked by the enemy and
compelled to retreat. So. g31ys
Half the Italian artillery and all the
ammunition and provisions were lost.
Other advices report that 5000 OF the
italian soldiers engaged in the battles
were killed and that among them Gen.
erals Albertone and Darbormida. The
number of wounded is not yet stated.
The Shoans are said to have been
well armed with modern rifles, and
cannon, and the entire force opposed to
the Italians is estimated to have been
over $4,000 men. The total Italian
strength is about $4,000. .$
The Worst News Confirmed.
AS the evening wore on, and the
very worst news Of the Italian defeat
was confirmed, the feeling Of despair
which first seized upon the inhabitants
gave way to one of the greatest excite.
ment and rage against the government.
Bands of young men began paradiny
the streets, shouting, Down with
Crispi," but they were promptly dis.
persed by the police ~ 49, r '''a5
These demonstrations, however, at :
tracted still larger crowds of people TO
the streets and for a time serious
trouble was anticipated. All the
troops at the different barracks
throughout the city were placed under
arms and patrols Of q mounted gen.
darmes were ordered to the leading
thoroughfares. +;aes@ so;4.y .5s5,.
Ministry May Resign. ny
It is stated that the ministry has de-

the Italian forces in Abyssinia ..1 $s|&x
It is impossible te exaggerate the
CONSERVATION which the news of the
Italian defeat in Abyssinia has caused
in all circles in this city. The news
papers do not even seek to minimize
the disaster in the slightest degree
Every hour marks the appearance of
fresh editions, giving additional details
of the news, and more particularly of
the manner in which it has been re-
ceived and the opinions of the editorial
writers upon the disaster and the cam
paign. All this serves to increase the
public excitement, which is constantly
growing. The whole of the garrison of
the city is confined within the barracks
for fear Of disorder The government
has decided to mobilize the reserves of
the class of 1872, numbering 50, 200.

Don't you know that God takes

IF God takes care Of them" was
the careless reply" we need not trou-
BILE ourselves about them"
But" said the little girl, Il had

or waste the food that he gives US"
So she carefully collected what was
left of the crumbs and threw them out
OF the window. In q short time sew
eral little birds flaw eagerly to the spot
and picked up the crumbs she scat
tered.
After this she every day collected in
a little basket the crumbs and BITS OF
bread that had fallen around the table
and threw them out on the snow for
the little birds; and during all the win
ter these little creatures came regularly
after each meal to partake OF Z tood

You never can tell when you do an act

But with every deed you are sowing a

Though it's harvest you may never

Each kindly act is an acorn dropped
In Gods productive soil;
Though you know it not, yet the tree

And shelter the broWs that toll.
