DBut the profost of tha London Times egaiuat his tantative in Abyaainia, on the ground that the Abyesinians ato Chriatiang and ontitled {o the sympathy of the Christian Towors, can only cxcito a smilo from anyona who nows suy- thing about tho chiaracter of thcso savages, or the condition of their country. It is a fluo plirago to call this a “conflict botwoon tho Mo- Lammodan Govornmont sud Christian moun- raincers.” and it excites avmpathy to bo told, that howovyer ignorant nnd obscuro this Christian com- munity way bo, * their differonces from us aro only a mattor of education, or laugusgo, or drens,” ) 1 don't know much about tho stato of religlon aud morals In England, but, it T thought that tho Amsrican Curistina different from tho Abye- winian only in tho above particclars, I should do- siro to turn Moslem. 1t would not be possible for tho Abyssininns to chango govornmont and 1norale for the worse; ond blighting as Moslem influonco usually ig, tho land of tho lato Theo- doro, of Iila Majesty Toklo-Gorghis, King of Etbiopla, and of Dediadmatch-Kaesa, highest of all tho Princes of Etliopis, would gan much aud loue littla by subjoction_to_an authority 8o enlightencd ns that of tho Kliedive. 1Its barbar- istn3 would at loast b somownat rostrained. and it would bu opou to 1ntercourso with tho world tud to thogo Christian iutluences which go doop- or than dress, languagoe, or education. TIE HELIGION OF THE ADYBSINIANS is an odd juwble of Judaism. fetichism, and suporetition, mixed with somo of tho thoologic dopmnd of Christianity—tho latter bojug uf- ticieut to divide them iuto three hcatile sects, which hate each othor DLitterly nnd fight con- tinunily. Morally, they aro tho vilest people, wavago or tamed, of whom I ever heard, Yaliti- cally, they are divided into hoatilo provincea and fighting factions, which indulge in mutual rob botles, murders, and cruoli.cs of all sorts. For amomont vno Uhief may bo strong enongh ta control tho others, as 'Theodors became for a timo, but rebeliion, conspiracies, and invasions are the normal condition of the laud.
