Pointer was an open length to the bad

He IL . Very Remarkable Man In
Many Ways.
The position Of Abyssinia and its en-
peror Is q very singular one. Alone in
Africa the state has accepted, from
time fmmemorial, the Christian faith,
has been able to resist Mussulman ag-
gression and has shown from time to
time the capacity for organizing itself
as an orderly, though, Of course, only
semi-civilized state. The present en-
peror has carried this process much
further than any of his predecessors.
He has subdued OF, conciliated every
tribe within hisdominion, he has tanned
the fierce chiefs with whom Emperor
Theodore was constantly at war, and he
has succeeded in forming an army
which, at all events as long as he is
victorious, is devoted to him, and
which, though not mobile beyond GER
tain limits, is within them for defensive
purposes by far the most powerful
army controlled by any African prince.
It is said to exceed 200, 900 men in num-
ber and though that estimate probably
includes soldiers whose service could
not be relied on from harvest to harvest,
it is certain that the army faced and
overwhelmed 10000 italian regulars,
who, though badly led. fought with
desperation and died in heaps round
their colors. Though naturally and
greatly elated by his victory, the en-
peror was not carried away by 1t. He
did not massacre his Italian prison
ers, he did not invade Erythrea; but
he did show desire For a compromise
as reasonable under the circumstances
