One of the most conscientious
Sheriff on record has turned up
in Iowa. A railroad was to be
sold at Sheriff's sale, and friend
ly agreement was made by which
this model official was to receive
$3.50 in payment for his part in
the transaction, which required
two hours, perhaps, of ais valua-
BILE time. But after the sale he
happened to look at the statute
which fixed his fees when he
found to his horror that he had
been transgressing the laws of the
State, which declared that he
should receive no other fees, than
those legally assigned him. So he
refused the liberal sum offered
him and said he would take moth
ing hut his lawful fees, which, in
in this instance, it seems, amount
ed to $11, 900. The railroad men
endeavored to hold him to his Or
iginal bargain, but he was too con-
scientious to violate the laws he
was appointed to uphold, and the
case going to the courts, his in
tegrity was rewarded by q verdict
in his favor.

Irrigation.
EDITOR EMPoRIA News Il have
the impression that my last letter
was penned just before our embark
alton from Palestine, and that it
was mailed upon the steamer while
on the passage from Jaffa to Port
Said. We remained at Port Said
but few hours, and embarked up
on the Suez Canal for Ismailia, the
voyage being accomplished upon an
Egyptian mail steamer; and the
journey TO Suez was completed up
on the Egyptian railway. The
whole journey from from Port Said
to Suez is through a dreary desert,
and with no green thing 10 relieve
the loneliness of the landscape, ex-
cept at Ismailia and at the railway
stations and at one place where the
work Of retaining the desert by
tie process of irrigation was going
forward. The only source of water
for irrigation is the Nile, and this
river not only contributes to this
process, but to the furni shing of
water for household use, wherever
there are houses, throughout the
whole of Egypt. Some of the old
canals have been restored, and some
branches cut for the convenience of
water to fields upon either side.
We remained among the historic
scenes of Suez for about three days,
aud then proceeded by railway to
Cairo, from whence we iourneyed
to the Pyramids. These tombs and
monuments Of the ancient Egyp-
tians are situated about ten miles
from Cairo, and they are reached
by crossing the Nile and then fer
tile plain. We did not attempt. the
ascent of Cheops, and our party
were content to visit the Sphynx
and meander in the fields of tombs
which surrounded them. But per-
sons were ascending and descend
ing while we were there. These
persons, at the height of four hun
dred and eighty feet, appeared like
dwarfs, and they ackno wledged that
the walk was attended with much
fatigue, although they were assist
ed by the Arab attendants.
We visited the historic localities
in and around Cairo, but some OF
the stories related by guides Gas in
Palestine,) partake too much of the
marvellous and improbable to impart
very much of qualification. There
is church which is said to occupy
the place where Joseph and Mary
and the child Jesus dwelt after they
had escaped the designs of Herod
