but would not exceed $200,000. The
real figures cannot be arrived at for

Mr. Plowden, British Consulate at
Massowah had concluded a treaty fa-

of foreigners in the empire. 'Theodo-

and DBritishers in particular. Mur.
Plowden himself, was soon afterwards
killed by a predatory band in the in-
terior. To keep up a friendly appear-
ance, Theodorus slaughtered 1,500 of
his subjects as reprisal. Mr. Plowden
was succeeded by Captain Cameron.
He was received with outward kind-
ness, but every official obstacle was
thrown in his way, and he himself was

his old dream of restoring the Ethiop-
ian Empire. To this proposition Earl
Russell returned a refusal. Returning
with his refusal, Captain Cameron was
maltreated and all the English mis-
sionaries in the country were impris-
oned. The successive diplomatic at-
tempts to negotiate these gentlemen
out of confinement are familiar to the
public. They failed, and last year Gen.
Robert Napier set out from India with
an expeditionary force of Britons and
Sepoy allies, comprising in all an esti-
mate of 30,000 men. The steps taken,
slowly but surely, by this force, the
tardy willingness with which the econ-
stituents of the home Government ae-
| quiesced in the extra imposition of tax-
es necessary to the expenses of the
campaign, all the incidents prelimina-
ry to the one decisive battle have be-
come familiar to our readers. That the
campaign is virtually ended in one
battle dissipates many of the apochry-
phal stories concerning the resources,
if not the bravery of the Abvssinian
forces, and the discovery, alive and

lage of Ionia, or Shanghai, Ji, was
visited, on the 3d inst., with one of
the most terrific storms ever witnessed
in this section of the country. “About
oP. M.,” says a correspondent of the
Ciicago Tribune, “a threatening cloud
passed to the westward, emitting flash-
es of lightning, and from thi: 2 funnel-
shaped cone trailed its apex on the
earth for some distance, and shen drow
up again into the bosom of the eloud.
The greater part of the inhabitzuts of
Shanghai were assembled in the Church
of the New Advent, where Sabbath
school exercises were im progress.
Suddenly the atmosphere darkened,
and a flood of lightning apparently
filled the church. The congregation
staggered to their feet and rushed for
the doors, which were bolted by seme
persons just within. At this instant
the windows were wrenched out, the
entire structure slid several feet from
itz foundation, and the roof was erushed
in bodily upon the strugling masses
beneath. Our informant—a lady who
was in the body or the church—states
that immediately after the final erash
she found Lerself upon tke ground,
held in « stooping position by ths roof
through which a: openinghad been
torr some few feet distant. Being but
slightly bruised, she succeeded in ex-
tricating herself, but was immediately
caught by the wind and thrown for-
ward, mecciving several deep cuts
upon the face. All this occupied less
time in transpiring that in relating,
Then the fury of the wind subsided,
and before the victims were yet recov-
ered from the ruins the sun was again
shining. The entire northern portion
of the village was destroyed. A {ww
dwellings in the southern portion had
entirely eseaped. Some sixteen houses
in all, beside the schoolhouse and the
only two churches which the villa_e
contained, were demolished. The num-
ber wounded is between thirty-five and
fourty, many fatally. Four have al-
ready died. The track of the storm
was about three-fourth of a mile in
width, and it passed some three miles
northeast of the place, destroying
three farmhouses on the course before
it rose again into the air. A deluge of
yrain and hail accompanied the wind.
Several hailstones measuring ten-
inches in circumference were picked up
after the tornado had passed.”
