San Francisco Afiq: \ private land company Of which 1Ir. Thos. II. Blythe is President, is at the present time doing very import ant amount of improvement by the reclamation aud irrigation of over scyenty-f.c thousand acres ofland, which has heretofore been wholly useless for agricultural purposes and valueless as q medium ofraising tax es. The tract Is located nearly op- posite Ehronberc, in Arizona. fifty miles above Fort Yuma, and about sixty-fve miles from the border line of lower California. The land to be reclaimed, in all 4,0O0 acres, has a frontage on the Colorado Riv- CT of about twenty-six miles. Be hind this, on the mesa, is barren land which will have 10 be irrigated amounting in all to 35.O0O acres. In the scheme of improvement the process ot reclamation has been commenced between six and ten miles above Ehrenberg. i canal is being dug, Iy hand labor, from the Colorado River to Olive Slough. This canal will Le twenty-six miles in length, of which over five miles have been dug. \ ditching ma chine is in course of construction, and will be finished by October, which will materially accelerate the progress Of the work. \ leyee will be thrown up on the banks of the river, running the full length of the canal The canal and Ievee are to be finished in eighteen months. Cross levee5 will also be built, as well as cross canals, through which the water viii be conveyed, for nri- ! gatiag, 10 the mesa land. Heavy timber will be planted along the river bank for the better protection
 Of the leyec. As before remarked.
 the improvement is being carried on
 entirely by the manual labor of h. dians and Nexicans. The former get SI 9 per day and the latter l S40 per month.
 It is anticipated that there will
 be ready 10 be put upon the market
 in a month 1000 acres, and before
 the end of winter 5000 to 10000
 acres will be ready for occupation. It is proposed to divide the tract
 into f.lms of forty 10 eighty acres,
 and offer 1t on easy terms to actual ! settlers. Out of the entire tract
 the company will retain 5000 acres
 which they will turn into model
 farm. Already there have been numerous applications for location.
 The soil is very rich. The average
 fall of rain during the past four ] years las only been two inche. per year, hence the thorough scheme of irrigation that las to be adopted.
 The temperature is from so to no ! degrees. The laborers arc now
 working at the hottest season.
 The soil will grow wheat, barley
 alfalfa, cotton, sugar cane and rice

At lecture delivered by Mr.. Stanley
in London, the Prince Of Wales is said
to have asked Midhat Pasha, the Turk.
ish ambassador, if he had found the dis
course interesting. The answer is said
to have been 1--WE Turks have more
need now than other people to take an
interest in expeditions into unknown
lands, since we may soon have to
seek among them for a home" The
personal" man of the London World,
who went to see Mr.. Stanley in his
lodgings, gives this sketch of him:
"The figure which rises from the fire.
side to greet the visitor is that of small,
stifily built man, erect in bearing, but in
voice and manner rather sympathetic
and enthusiastic than hard and stern.
The voice is not as the voice of a deter
mined and cruel man. His hair is-to
quote phrase of Dickens gray before
its time, like a neglected fire. Hard
work and exposure have made Mr.. Stan
ley's abundant locks very gray but for
all this, the head is that of young man,
and there is no indication of premature
age in voice or gesture. The expression
of the face is that of a man who always
holds himself prepared for any emer-
gency or summons, even though the lat
ter convey as large an order as that
which Mr.. Stanley received on memo
rable occasion q few years ago from his
New York boss: ''Send man 200 miles
up the Red Sea to intercept Norma and
ascertain details OF Livingstone's death
Cable 1000 words to this office The
Herald man in Egypt had relays of
donkeys ready at Suez. The Norma
came to an anchor during the night a
boat sent from the shore boarded the
steamer at daylight, interviewed Vain
wright, and, thanks TO the donkey ar
engagements, a splendid account reached
the New York Herald Office in London,
and was distributed, with Mr.. Gordon
Benefits compliments. to all London,

The Great Pyramids.

So much has been written about the
great pyramids, says correspondent,
that 1 will spare myself from entering
upon the task of description. l call
it a task, because among the authorities
[ have on Egypt l find scarcely two
agree on important points relating to
the age, dimensions and theory of the
construction of the pyramids. All, how
ever, coincide in saying that the height
of Cheops exceeds that of the spire of
the Strasburg Cathedral, which is the
tallest in Europe. The Sphinx stands
in front ofsthe second pyramid, and
shows length of 140 feet with the fore
paws extending an additional fifty feet
in-front. The height, according to Pliny,
is I43 feet, and the circumference of the
forehead 102 feet. When first exhumed
paved inclosed place was found be-
tween the paws, which contained the
evidences of having been small temple.
The Sphinx was held by the Egyptians
as emblematic of the king, or combi-
nation of intellectual and physical pow
er, and was worshiped as deity.
