A GIFT ENTERPRISE MAN IN TROUBLE. From time to time letters have been received at the Mayor's office, from parties in different localities throughout the country, asking the Mayor to prose- cute certain gift enterprise people holding forth in this city, and to whom these innocent and too con- fiding coufitrymen had paid various sums for tickets and commissions of five per cent on prizes of $100 or $150, which they were informed they had drawn. Among the most successful of those swindlers isa man styling himself A. A. Kelley, who gives away immense fortunes for nothing, and who, to judge from the extent of his operations, must have ized at least $150,000 within a comparatively short period. The latest case Inst him came to his Honor Mayor Hoffman yesterday from Mr. J. R. McFadden, of West Port, Kentucky, who had invested $8 in tickets $750 in commission on prizes drawn (?) and a few dollars to a nominal law firm which had to obtain the prizes for him. Mr. McFadden wanted the Mdyor of this small town to some able lawyer to take charge of his claim and instruct him to settle with Kelley for $150. It may be some satisfaction to Mr. McFadden and others to know that their friend Kelley has been stopped—at least for the present—as Detective George Elder, of the Central ice, took Mr. Kelley into on a warrant which had been brought from Buffalo by Detetive Cusick, of the Buffalo ag me and Mr. Cusick brought Kelley back with him 'o Buffalo last evening to have an interview with some fifty or more of his subscribers.

A BAXTER STREET DUEL. Two particular admirers of Manager Butier— American citizens of African descent—named re- spectively Robert Haines and Charles H. Smith, allowed “the tender god” to touch their hearts, stir their en’ and disturb their temper, using the charms of a lady of color as the instrument, and at midnight last night at No. 40 ter street the resulted in an affair of honor. Haines fastened his “feelers” to a chair with which he it to the head of Smith and let out the ita which the latter harbored of Dinah. Smith in Ly it he would reach the heart of Haines and force out the warm feelings which the latter en- tertained by inserting some cold steel.

A PARTING SALUTR.—A rns. gentieman of this city escorted his aunt to the depot of the Orange, Alexandria and Manassas Railroad this morning, and after seating her and handing her the checks for her left the car to talk with some one in the office.

When the whistle blew for the train to start the young gen- tleman alluded to re-entered the car from the rear enn and mistaking the young lady for his aunt astily seized her hand. and telling her godby im- printed an affectionate kiss upon her cheek. The surprise of the young lady thus saluted may be imagined. It was manifested by sucha start anda jump that the gentleman was at once ntade aware of the error he had committed, but the starting train only gave him time to apologize. He says now, however, that he ts not sorry the mistake occurred. — Alexandria Gazelle. ABYSSINIA. NAPIER’S MARCH ON MAGDALA. ae The Descents Into Ravines and Rapid Road Making.

Life and Amusements—Invocation of Sainte— Admiration of the Light Artlilery. WANDACH, WOLLA GALLA ore ABYSSINIA, March 26, 1868. At length we are fairly underway to Magdala, relieved of superffuous baggage, superfluous camp followers, &c., which we left behind us at Lot, fifteen miles south of Lake Ashangt. We are drawing near at a rapid pace towards our objective point, the royal fortress Magdala, where thé Great Negus 18 awaiting us with admirable self-complacency, intrenched in fancied security behind his “gigantic toys,” those wonderfal mortars about which so much has been written. The capture of Magdala is spoken of already by Generals Napier and Merewether as a certainty, provided that the prisoners that we are in search for are therein incarcerated, which will make tts capture a necessity. In four days from the present the English cannon will be making impression upon the rocky Amba, scattering death and destruction in the fortress while the rockets will vomit flames of fire in the midst of the thatched roofs of the dwellings of the garrison. If everything transpires as has been foretold, why in five short days we will be on our re- turn to the sea, happy in the satisfactory finale of the enterprise; but we might as well abide time and fate for four short days, and then_we shall see what we shall see. Deserters lately arrived from his camp state that Theodorus intends to dispute the passage of the Bashelo, a stream which crosses our route within ten miles of Magdala, Both sides of the passage to the stream are flanked by lofty cliffs, which afford admirable sites for artillery. If he could dispute the passage with safety to himself and fortress there, Theodorus shows his wisdom in attacking the Eng- lish in this narrow defile; but aware of his presence through his native auxiliaries, there is no chance of his maintaining his position, for the elongated shells from the Armstrong guns on the adjacent heights will soon render the hills untenable, and a dash across in the meantime made by the English cavalry will canse him to “skedaddle” to defend his darling Magdala. But these are only surmises and rumors, conjured up doubtless by the same irresponsible parties who reported Lake Ashangi as swarming with hippopotaml, or that a snowy range interposed itself between Lot and Wandach which was impas- sable. Happily these things were never seen. Mr. Munsinger, the English envoy to the court of Prince Gobazye of Lorta, also states that a portion of Theodorus’ force is encamped on the Bashelo, and that the first skirmish with the enemy will take place there. The camp of the Dajaz Mashesba is situated thirty miles from Magdala, which is visible with a good telescope. A portion of Theodorus’ cavalry scours the province of Tulanta for the sake of procuring supplies for the garrison. The inhabi- tants of the province resist their tyranny as much as possible, but the dread of the great master is such that a continued resistance to bis power is what they would never dream of. The city of Gobazye, though numbering 40,000 men, holds itself aloof from the English, content with watching from alar the progress of affairs, and await with folded arms the solution of the complex politics of the em- pire. If Theodorus is vanquished there will be hands enough stretched out to grasp the sceptre of govern- ment and share the spoil. If Theodorus is victorious then Prince Gobazye and his sub, Dajaz Mashesba, with Menelek, Walheit and Kussai, will be compei- Jed to hide their diminished heads in some hyena’s den to avoid the terrible wrath of the “king of kings.” There will be prime feasts for the beasts of prey and many a skull left bleaching on the fleld of battle, and there will be many a warrior, proud and glorying in his manhood, shorn of his glory, no mat- ter who is victorious. In every village there will be heard moaning and wailing, for much blood will un- doubtedly be spliled, and savage, inerciless murders done, for such are Abyssinian wars; and all this for the imbecility of a few Englishmen who vaunted of the courage of their nation and carried their bombast 80 far as to dare defy a jealous and barbarous fg] who, whatever his faults, desired nothing but the welfare of his country. Wandach is exacily forty-eight miles from Mag- dala, The wisdom of the peremptory order whic reduced the baggage was fully apparent on the march from Lot to Wandach. It would have been impos- sible to march over four or five miles a day with train of 5,000 mules encumbering us. ‘The few hun- dred transport animals that we took with us, relieved of half their usual quantum of bj e, trotted wy the steep defiles in tne style. We found as we ad- vanced further into the Galla country higher moun- tains and deeper canons, through Which torrents rushed with impetoous force. ‘Though the region of country extending from Lake Ashangi to Wanda is covered with timber, it is evident from the brownish appearance of many of the rocks, which consist of scoria and pumice, that the whole country was at one period subject to vol- canic action. The summits of the mountains assume the most peculiar aa th ang meet the eye in every direction, Sore look like vast needles, others resemble monitor turrets, while many appear like towers toppling over; bat most of the heights re- semble vast tabies lifted up above st nding emi- nences by lofty gneiss walls, a8 pe cular and even as if framed by the hand of m Pumice, granite and Porphy boulders, heaped up in the worst confusion, lined our route for miles and choked the torrent beds, rendering passage arduous in the extreme. Rapid progress was also prevented when wssing under natural excavations penetrating far Into the bowels of the earth by the masses of debris which had fallen down from the heights above. A more strange, fantastic and varied feature of scenery than each furlong of earth exhibite cannot be found on any continent. The wildest and most bizarre formations hitherto viewed apy tame ip comparison to the panorama of chaos which slowly unrolled as we doubled around dizz; ‘Ipices, sailed up the heights and descended fright ‘ul abysses, literally feeling our way inch by inch. Often deep and sinuous ravines appeared far below, to which we were compelled to descend, and afterwards found a. to be a on ee b=] frightful depths revealed, which were hedged by lofty, irregu- la waves of achiatose rocks. se tio The sappers and miners were ordered to the front and ul into a pitch of frenzy by the multitudes of taskmasters, who shouted in desperate tones, ‘Jelde, jelde, banshoot” (which peng. interpreted means “quick, quick, you sons of led mothers”) The }vas was filed up by the united efforte of men, and the column proceeded only to halt a few yards farther, Hell disgot of its inmates, vacant, dark d silent, with ite black cavernous hs and vay chasms ex} to the eyes of nae jumanity for the first time, could not have struck the beholder with more awe than did some portions of this fright- ful and God forsaken country of the Wolla Gallas. And while listening to the frenzied blows of the sledge and crowbar, pick and shovel of the pioncers it was impossible not to admire this persistent reso- Jution and indomitable courage of the to vindicate its honor and dignity in the face of such diMficulties and perplexities which each day made more apparent. Every portion of ground was covered with the most luxuriant vegetation. A ledge of rocks with but acanty soil teemed with flowers of rarest hue. I the gaping crack and fissui which afforded ex- cellent dens for the panther and hyena, juniper pine, banboo and the prickly kantuffa obtained precarious hold. In the valleys where the sotl was deep- est the venerable gol the leafy sycamore and the koly aii lent charms to views which no one could witness without admiring. Taman, tamarind, mimosw, peebul, fig, doum and jujub trees grew in the most extraordinary places. Every turn and winding round a hill revealed vistas of great beauty. Masses of prilege on the various trees appeared above us, with sky as blue as ever Italy boasted. Giant woods rose here and there upon knolls and in hollows, mounted upon the heights and covering the ravines, opening at this and that place into gleams of open plain beneath, which grew purple and misty in its fearful depth, The least expanse of jevel ground was fruitful in herbs and plants, and @ glen enraptured everybody with ite paradisatcal loveliness and refreshing verdure. The streams, where they traversed valley4, were over- hung with oleander trees, which met in seemingly loving embrace over the delicious waters, enc! branch entwined with vine and clematis, wh pendent masses of maiden hair drooped as if In sweet sympathy with these fairy orbors.

Their hair, though of a deep black, is silky and straight, without the kinky or wavy ap- arance of that of the es, Agows and hohoes, north of Antalo, ir women, who arrive at puberty at the age of ten, are possessed of the most voluptuous forms, countenances beaming with latent passion, lips just framed to meet amor- ous kisses, eyes Lakme] with the humidity of love, that it is just possible that Mahomet, during hia invasion of Abyssinia, might have seen these beauteous children of the Lys geo when he conceived his houris. Fancy a group of these Galla beauties, with arms lovingly entwined around each oth sitting under the soft shade of the evergreens chanting their welcome to-us like cooing doves in the extempore ballads of the native bards or a band of youths, with their shields:and lances in rest, lifti their voices in chorus to a song of jey sung by ‘ablind old warrior; these are the scenes tucidents which tend to cheer our progress and entiven the march on this erusade, and which flatly contradict the exagge- rated statements of irresponsible writers in the Eng- lish newspapers—in fact, the campaign thus far seems more His # Beolonae May-day picnic, or a pleasure trip to the iene with the exception of the diMculties enumerated at length above. Caunp life in Abyssinia seems more like a play upon theatrical boards than the matter of fact and serious life of soldiers. Its horrible din and hubbub is equal to any ever heard in the Bowery, from Canal street to Chatham. In spite of command over self, with an ad- mirable concentrative power to collect ideas, tt is a dif- ficult thing not to be distracted and driven wild with the bedlam noises which issue from man and beast. While resting for a day, innumerable portable shops, consisting of baskets, containing the salable com- modiuies of the natives, pass and repass your tent door, while the owner of each canvas house puits forth the merits of the articles for sale with a8 much impudent vigor as the most frowsy-faced Irish cockle selling her wares in Liverpool, ‘hese itinerant ven- dors are as persistent to sell their edibigs for a “ghourshi” or barter them for a “gamise’? (shirt) as any Jew clothier in Chatham street, and if pot really occupied upon business affairs much amusement be derived from watching them in their perambulations through cainp, half dressed, many minus that Indian indispensable, the breech clout. ‘Their trays are heaped up with bread baked in wood ashes, Cayenne pepper, ginger and various kinds of seed and spices. These articles are very acceptable, but being compelled to pay a silver dollar for the least thing the natives do not reap such a plentiful harvest of silver coins as they would un- doubtedly do were their scale of prices a trifle lower, Old hags, in fig leaved costume, waddle up with their bandy legs, bare to the hips, and demand in shrill tones the inevitable ghourshi for a lot of brown gogo (bread), Young girls, graceful as Hebes, with clear and sweet voices, sound the praises of their comestibles, and, showing their white teeth, insinuate in apologetic tones that our duty lies in buying from them, and paying for our choice Just one silyer dollar, Finding insinuations of no avail they: be- come Hiaporeanass, and entreat you for the sake of the “Lady Mary’? and the “Holy St. Michael,” and “St. Rorcas” to boot, to buy. Who could resist such | a vones from such nymphs, with such graceful forms, innocent of the slightest virtue, with such free movements, with such lovely childish faces, devoid of any taint of mmodesty, ooking up to the boldest libertine with simple contidence, reiterating the prayer that we should invest? Tne purse bearers are called up, and with the pleasure that lights up the features the young officers feel that they are recompensed. “Now @ grou of older females saunter up leisurely, some wit! affected modesty, and others bearing the index of their trade on their wanton features, and stare at the gorgeously dressed oMcers of the staff, who gaze out of ther tents at this scene, which adds an interest to the melange. Some of the Sikhs and Goumalis, native hora-wall to the army,attracted by these over ripe beauties, followed them outside of the lines aad were then and there sacrificed by the infuriated husbands. These women are not the most interesting sights observable in our travels through the different pro- vinces in Abyssinia. A continued blast from hit cowhorns announce the approach of a distinguished individual, probably a Ras or a Dajiz; no, is he but a village shetk come to pay his respects, though attended with the same ceremonies and retainers as the most powerful Ha- besh yrince. He is surrounded by men of all ages, who vie with each other in doing him honor, dressed in the latest fashion of the country, viz., a dingy cot- ton cloth, entirely innocent of the labors of the laundry and marked with the right royal crimson stripe. The sheik’s retainers carry their shotels and spears with much of the air that an Italian bravo carries his stt- letto or one of our Western desperadoes his brace of repeaters, This approaching concourse of people move along, hopping, vociferously laughing and vio- lently gesticulating, disputing on some topic with loud and vehement tones, heralding in stentorian voices the rank of the shefk, who has condescended the Feringhees a visit. The movelty of the scene is highly delightful. Those of the Mohammedan re- ligion wear immense turbans and affect mock gravity, but the Christians march bareheaded, unprotect from the poor, sun save by a bulrush umbrella, ‘The sheik opens his eyes and pricks lis ears at the variety of sights and the jumble of sounds of this mi- crocosm of European life, which is as strange to him and his followers asa dream of fairy land. With an air of dignity very becoming to him and dress, he sa- lutes the Commander-in-Chief, kissing his hand and ducking his head low in token of profound humility before @ “Sooltan” so ‘at and powerful as the English chieftain, and then folding his cotton to which is a fantastic exaggeration of an Abyssin' court dress, over his left shoulder, he commences to deliver @ set speech, which is a miraculous com- pound of flattering phrases, and ends in a most Flowing Pperoration hi ghly eulogizing the valor of the ‘eringhees and praying for their welfare in this life and the life hereafter. Courteous salaams are exchanged between the re- spective chief and the rhetorical dignitary retires, waving a terrific horsetatl, which seems to waft him backward from the august presence. His courtiers surround him and imitate his gestures as he pro- ceeds on the even tenor of his way, imperturbable now in the air of seif-consciousness which his fea- tures wear, having seen the “great, great Sooltan,” Sir Robert Napier. No amount of quizzing or lofty contempt of their ae robes and beggarly appe: e can move them. The gay caftain of dragoo1 the martial looking Heutenant of hussars, the gray uniformed Irish soldier of the “Duke of Wellington's Own,” the sombre looking, dull-eyed Beloochee or the dashing, smart looking |) cavalry man are all one and the same to him. Their badinage he does not understand, and to their gestures he is marble. But the sight of the artillery awakes in these barbarians momentary interest. Tie pol- ished _ steel non arouses in him emo- tions which his stoicism cannot suppress, but after a close examination he denominates them toys ax compared to the gi mortars of Theodorus, In answer to the question given as to whether the Emperor would fight, he replied with a sneer, ‘Is it fighting that you want? you have come to the right piace. Is it your valor you wish to prove, or Is it these loys you have come to measure with Theodorus’? By Allali, you have come to the right man.” “How many men has he? asked an incredulous Scot, through an interpre “The gre egus has five thousand infantry.” “Has he any cavairy ?” was the next query. Ina burst of passion he replied, “He has guns, man, guns that you cam cram at once and plenty of room one fist in these things.” The but not convinced, and the turbaned sheik, as if con- scious that he had given a sockdologer, left for other parts, preceded of course by the six-foot cowhorns, which ever and anon delivered blasts as loud as the trumpets of Josiua, which overthrew the walls of Jericho.

A Plensant Evening—The Arrangements and Dancing—“Hebels” aud “ Yankees” Present—Fine Music. ATLANTA, Ga., April 20, 1868. About a week ago certain citizens of our city were* thrown into the greatest state of excitement by the reception of cards, as tollows:— Genera!

For you <’ must know, dear, kind reader that Atianta is neither New York nor Paris, and that party-goers labor under® great disadvantages and inconveniences in pre- paring for such a grande féte as General Meade’s en- * tertainment was. £h bien! The week passed away like all earthly things, the toilets were completed, and notwithstanding wind and storm and rain, tout le monde was determined to brave ail things to at- tend this grand military fete. Atlength the day ar- rived. The morning was dark and gloomy, but about ten o’clock the sun burst forth in unusual splendor, betokening promise of a brilliant day, in which we were not disappinted. Having arrayed ourselves in the most gorgeous toilets we arrived av the General's residence at precisely nine o'clock, where ‘sounds } night” greeted us from the nigg- ° niftcent ‘military band attached to — these ; “headquarters.” The grounds were beautifully '. iluminaied, ‘and the aforesaid baud - stationed in the front yard, regaling the guests x with music ac: of revelry rding to printed programmes, Kpan first entrance we were directer y r of the house, where ste| # into an impromptu hall ty for the occasion, so thal ‘ did not touch the ground.

After every dance, and while we were refreshing ourseives, We had an enchanting air to promenade by. Mais revenon & nos moutons, E: lady and gentieman being furnished with said cards we then pro “i to te front parlor, where ( ral Meade, dressed in full uniform and looking his “level best,” received us in true royal style. Having paid our respectsto the General commanding the ‘Third Military Disirict, the gentlemen then seemed busy in filling up the ladies’ cards for the dances which were to ensue. This consumed some little time, but epee at a quarter to ten o'clock the danc- ing commenced. ‘rhe music jor dancing was furnished by another and most delightful band, which belongs to the ‘Thirty-third United States infantry, new stationed at this post. This band sat upon the frout gallery, which was shut in by canvas so as to make it per- ate private, while at the other end was a tabie filled with iced punches, sherbet, &c., with which the its refreshed themselves between each dance; while in the hall was a tabie filled with boiling c noir, which was at the service of “one more unfor- tunate”’ the whole evening. The ladies were all beautifully dressed and the gentlemen all psa | magnyique in their military uniforms, this being course &@ compliment and courtesy to the General. Where ail the ladies were lovely it would not be fair to discriminate. At twelve o’clock precisely supper was announced; the dancing ceased and we marched in to supper, keeping step to the delightiul music. the tables were beautiful and the luxuries which met our eyes and tempted our appetites would have brought an intense siniie of satisfaction from Lucullus himself, while Bacchus, in sipping the exquisite wines, might [oer deep imagined them the nectar 09 the gods. Let it recorded that we entered the arena spread out before us with all the sang Sroid of successful combatants, and came out none the worse except for the supper tablea. A charming feature of the supper was that all present could take supper just where they were, in the haiis, on the stairways, in the salons, on cosey little mess tables, thus avoid. the crush of the dining saloon and the discomfort of standing #0 jong. The General expressed juent and + sincere regrets at the absence of the lovely and elegant Mrs. B— K., declaring always that {t was her party, and that it was too bad tor her to be detained at home by tilness, Mra, B—— ts the magnanimous, generous and hospitable Southern woman who threw open her doors to General Meade upon his arrival in our city, and introduced him to our Southern people, foréwhich kindness he feels truly grateful and never permits an opportnnity to pass of evincing his gratitude. The people of this district owe much to General Meade for his justness and firmneas, and all must admire and respect tue unflinching manner tn which he performs ius duty, being governed by a consciencious regard for what he believes to be right. Aside frou this he is socially delightful, combining a suaviter in mod with a fortiter in re rarely met with. Eh bien! ‘ihe hours drifted—flew—unnoted by until a faint streac of dawn in the east adimonist us to pay our adieas to our delightful host, as well as to tender I or thanks for the enchanting night.
