Ice In the Arctic Regions.

The precise object of the Austrian
Polar expedition was not particularly
that of reaching high latitudes, but of
exploring the large unknown sea north
OF Siberia. For a year and n half the
explorers had constant opportunities
closely to observe the behavior and
formation of the packed ice. The phe-
nomenon is instructive, as it is the
same in the whole of the Arctic regions.
With the exception of land-ice, which
chngs to the coasts and never reaches
far out into the sea, all ice-icebergs as
we'll as fields-is in constant motion,
winter and summer; and this, as has
been shown, is through the influence
of winds. The motion, however, is a
different one almost with every field,
and thus certain pressure results
wherever two fields touch; this natural
ly leads to the breaking up of the fields,
and the contraction OF the ice, during
sudden low temperature plays its part
In similar way. If one Insiders the
great extent of fields. sometimes of
many miles, and their enormous masses.
one can easily imagine the colossal
forces which are ac'ive in these phe-
nomena, and dhe greatness of their ef-
fects. When two fields meet, a combat
body to body ensues, often lasting only
few minutes, but sometimes even for
days and weeks. The edges are then
turned up on both sides, upwards and
downwal DIS, an irregular wall of ice con-
ssisting of wildly mixed blocks begins to
build itself, the press ure inoreas,s
more and more, masses of ice eight feet
long and broad are lifted thirty to forty
feet high, and then fall to make room
for others. At last one of the fields
begins to shift itself for some distance
the other one; often they
separate for while, only to renew he
struggle. But the end of it always is
that the Intense cold unites them all
into one solid mass; /; single field re
suits from tho two, and the next storm:
or quick change of temperature cracks
the new field in some other direction,
the pieces renewing the old struggle.
This is tho origin of the ice-felds,
which arc quite irregular above and
below, sometimes only consisting of
blocks that lave frozen together, and
filling up the whole arctic region as So
called pack ice.

Natural Resources of Egypt.

Egypt has but single natural re-.
source-the Nile. There is no other
river liz the country; nor has this one n
branch or affluent between its mouth
and the Nubian desert. Besides the
almost shelterless date palms, there al g
no palms, the few wooded parks planted
by order of MehemetAli, the ornamental
trees of the cities, of which Cairo and
its suburbs contain forty thousand, and
the mulberry trees raised for silk-worms,
scarcely deserving to be mentioned in
this connection. There is little or no
ram, the agriculture of the country
depending almost entirely upon the ir-
rigating canals connected with the Nile.
Egypt proper consists of Lower, Mid
die, and Upper Egypt. It contains
lou, S66, 500 acres of area, and popula-
tion, in 1871, of 5,2O3, 4O5. The arabic
area of Egypt is contined substantially
to the inundable portion of tho Valley
of the Nile. AS tho river closely hugs
the hills and palisades on it's right
bank, this area is nearly altogether on
the left In some places the arabic
lands are eleven miles wide; in others
they dwindle to a mere strip of bank.
For the most part, however. this area
extends westward from the river about
~ w OAtooo hAikSo, "hOlo ~ ID lCTmlu-
ated by the Libyan hills and desert.
Every year it is extended by the rise of
the river upon its own bed. This rise
was found to be, Mt the close of the Inst
century, 1850 inches per century. If
the estimates worked by the khedive
and his relatives, or the mobiles of his
court, be deducted, there will not re-
main in Egypt over one half an acre of
arabic land to each person. opd o,o,,
if the land cultivated at present were
divided equally among all, there would
still be not over nine-tenths of IN acre
per capita. Imagine how small must
be the portion of an Egyptian laborer

land were kept at home instead of be.

of them are, would still possess but

An Apparent Resurrection.

The following is related by the

salboro, IN this county, was suffering
In the last stages of consumption, the
disease which had insidiously and
stealthily brought him to the verge of
the grave. For several weeks he had
been entirely PROSTATE and unable to
speak, even to articulate a syllable.
He became SO oppressed for breath
that he compelled his attendants to
raise the windows in his room. put ont
the fires, and resort to every means to
obtain fresh air. On the 18th inst the
young man died. Friendly hands pre-
pared the poor, emaciated body for the
burial; but, just us the attending
friends were arranging the remains for
the casket, there appeared unmistaka-
pie evidences of returning life in what
had seemed to them an inanimate mass

heart had begun age;nits, slow and

Pure Expression.

the frequent use of good, strong expres-

The Sequel.

From j. y. Curtis, of Snake Valley, We
get the following particulars relative to
the recent Indian troubles in that section
On the I'd of Sept. Toland and Leathers
were camped near Mount Moriah, when
an Indian came along and spoke of a
copper mine he knew of in the vicinity.
They agreed to pay him literally pro-
vided he was successful in showing them
On the road he dropped behind and, be-
fore they had missed him. fired at To-
land, the ball entering the back and
passing through his body. The Indian
Immediately fled up the mountain pur-
sued by feathers, but succeeded in get
ting away. When Leathers got back to
Toland the unfortunate man was Just
breathing his last. Leathers made the
best of his way to Cleaveland's ranch.
The next morning cleveland and party
started out and meeting solitary Indian
stopped him. The Indian turned and
made for the ranch, but after secreting
himself among some bushes was shot
dead. On September S. D. Smith and
twelve men found Guhnesty and twenty
four of his men, and after talk with the
chief, he agreed to send in Toby, the
murderer of Tolsnd, if he could be found
He brought in his entire tribe and sen.
messengers after a sub chief named Pea
nap. He was unsuccessful, and was
obliged to send five different messengers.
At daylight on the 14th Peanap, Ante
lope Jack and twelve warriors came rid
ing in. They had Toby with them in a
wagon. A temporary gallows was rugged
and at 1870 on the morning of the l4th
instant Toby paid the penalty Of death.
When Mr.. Curtis left the entire tribe was
still there, but Levi Gheen, the Indian
agent, declared his intention to take them
over to Hamilton and from there place
them on reservation, being determined
to have them in the valleys no longer
The above is perfectly authentic Mr..
Curtis participated in the entire affair,
from first to last, and we believe knows
as much about this matter as any of them.
The report differs from our Geographic
dispatches from Cherry Creek, but Mr.
Curtis assures us his version is correct

GRANTS LUCK.

General Grant seems to be the luckiest
man We have ever had in American pol
itics. When his administration was
running rapidly down at the heels the
Republicans passed an imitation bill,
which gave him An opportunity OF veto
ing it and putting himself at the head OF
the hard money party, although at the
time he hardly knew the difference be-
tween hard money and soft money.
When his action on the Southern and
other questions seemed to have COM
pletely Withdrawn from him the conf
dence of the public the Democratic party
of Pennsylvania must permit troupe
of tramps and vagabonds to meet lncon-
vention and pass resolutions virtually
leading to reputation. The result OF
this is to throw General Grant into IN
disputed prominence as the leader of the
friends of sound currency and financial
integrity. And now We have jesuit
priest, in a sermon delivered in New Jer-
sey last Sunday, publicly denounelng
the Administration, and asking God to
hasten its end. If anything is cslculat-
ed to make General Grant the next Pres
ident of the United States it is declara-
tons like this and from men of this call
ing. Once draw this line i'll politics.
once throw ont the slightest intimation
that it will be for the interest OF the
Order Of Jesuits or of the Roman Church
that General Grant shall be defeated and
we shall have such an uprising OF the
Protestant sentiment throughout the
East and West as will compel his re-
election. 1t does seem as if those who
should feel the deepest interest in the
defeat of President Grant are by some
malign influence conspiring to make his
nomination inevitable and to give his
reelection every prospect of certainty.
There surely never WAS luckler man IN
our American poliiics.-N. \. Herald.
1t looks as if the APPEALS third term
prognostics of the autumn Of 1872 were
not so absurd as some critics seemed to
think That Grant is tine safest man
that can be placed at the head of this
Republic will more and more force itself
as stubborn fact upon the minds Of the
American people.
