Spared by the Reaper.
Baxter

The recent death of Richard Baxter
Bridgman, at South Amherst, Mass.
says the S ringfeld Republican, caused
the first break in a remarkable family.
His wife was one of family of seven
daughters and two sons, ali of whom
were born in the same room, all the
daughters also being married in the
room in which they were born. OF
these nine children, with their husbands
and wives, who are scattered through the
country from Massachusetts, to Missouri,
none have died until the death of Mr..
Bridgman, although the first child was
married forty-six years ago. The mother
of these children, Mrs. Judith Nutting,
is now living in her ninety-sixth year,
and has seen no death before in her i'm
mediate family since that of her hus-
band forty-fve years ago.

Egyptian Aairffs.

Arab Pasha's army is entrenching at Sandy
Ridge, where the principal resistance was made
on the 9Th. Reinforcements have advanced from
the Ridge to Kafr-el-Dwar. The guns of the
iron-clad Temeraire, lying opposite Ramleh,
cover the ground between the British lines and
the Outposts of the enemy. The Temeraire be-
gan firing in consequence of the outposts MAX
ing forward movement. After few shots
from the Temerare, the enemy abandoned
their positions Arab Pasha has established
six-gun battery near Esbet Kurshid, facing
Fort Mells and facing Ramleh toward Aboukin,
as well as in our direct front. The Egyptian
earthWorks are rising fast. Zeky Pasha,
governor, works tremendously with the
British.
Gladstone will pay no heed to the protests
of De Lesseps regarding the landing of tro ops
at Suez, as they are simply the utterances of
private individual. The London Times en-
phatieally opposes the proposition of allowing
Turkish troops to landin Egypt. The khedive
is in favor of indemnifying sufferers by the
disorders of Alexandria to fair extent The
Turkish prime minister has informed Lord
Dufferin that the proclamation declaring
Arab Pasha rebel will be issued. Arab has
ordered the garrison along the Suez Canal to
refrain from conflicts with the British.
The Sultan of Turkey has at last yielded to
to the inevitable ty publicly proclaiming Arab
Pash and his followers "rebels." The Turkish
government will at once send 5000 troops to
Egypt to cooperate with the British forces In
the meantime England continues to forward
troops to Alexandria, evidently concentrating
formidable army.
Ismail Pasha ex-khedive of Egypt, who was
deposed in 1879 by conference of the powers
and then returned with his harem and his snug
sum of EDO, 100000 to Naples, is in Paris.
where it is said he is concocting a deep laid
scheme looking to his reinstatement.
Affairs in Egypt of late have been without
noteworthy event. Arab, contrary to expecta-
ton, shows no signs of making an attack, but
is devoting his time to mobilizing his forces
and strengthening the position he has taken.
There is no reliable information AS to the num-
Der of men he has under him, but he is report
ed to have his headquarters near Ramleh,
where he has forces variously estimated at
from 10, 900 to 10000. The British are fast
pouring troops into the country, and it is be-
lieved there are now either in Egypt or on the
way army of 40, 900 men. a far more COM

MOUNTAIN AND SEASIDE CLIMATE.

In the July number of the Nineteenth
Century, Professor Frankland presents
some important results of his investiga-
tions on climate In town and country,
which are of great value, especially In
the hot season. One of the most strik-
ing facts brought to light by his in
quiries is the difference of sensation
caused by sun warmth on the one hand
and air warmth on the other, which he
compares to that of an open fireplace
and a close stove. This difference is
most noticeable in comparing ones SEN
sations on a cloudless summer day at or
near sea level and on mountain height.
Thus, at Bellag1o, he says, with sun
warmth of only To, the heat was most
oppressive, while on the summit of
the Diavolezza Pass there was delicious
sensation of GOODNESS, although the sun
warmth was no less than 1070; at the
former the air warmth was 49,, while Oh
the pass it was only 49,. It is common,
in contrasting the merits of different
places as summer resorts, to overlook
the difference between the solar intensity
and the air temperature, and to compare
the readings of thermometers which,
from improper exposure Of the instru-
ments, mix up these very different val
ues. In the case cited by Professor
FARMLAND, the influence of elevation
above sea level ION account of which the
higher we get, though the solar heat in
creases rapidly, the air warmth contin-
ually decreases makes the chief differ
ence. But, as he has shown, other causes
operate IN producing agreeable climate.
tThe nearer the coler of the ground ap-
proaches to white, he finds, ''the great
er will be the sun warmth and the cooler
the air; while the darker the color, the
warmer will be the air and the less will
the heat of solar radiation be felt" The
reflection from land or water also power
fully affects the felt solar intensity.
though at the seashore the floating wa
terry and saline particles so FL the air
Gas a beam of sunlight or the electric
light reveals) that they absorb the sun IS
heat and thus cool the air. But perhaps
the most remarkable fact adduced by
this Investigators that the highest read
ings of solar heat at sea level have been
made at station (Romsdal, Norway
near the Arctic circle and at other high
ATTITUDES, where the SUMS radiation was
from 81 to 120 hotter than at noon under
a nearly vertical sun on the equator.
This remarkable difference, confirmed by
other observations, must be ascribed to
the vast sheet of aqueous yapor over
hanging the tropical belts, which even
when invisible absorbs the suns heat
rays, but increases the warmth of the
air.
1t seems clear from these and other
well established Genealogical data that
in the crisis of the intensely cheated
term the relief which SO many crave

SMALL FARMS PAY BEST.

The governor of Florida reports that
the tendency of the agriculturalists of
that state is toward small farms. This
is good news, says the y. Z. Herald,
and it is to be regretted that other states
are not as wide awake as Florida. In
California the farmers who earn most
money per acre are those who have
twenty or thirty acres in grapes and
other fruit. The richest New York
farmers are those who have grown ber-
ries and added every year an acre or two
to their pear orchards, and the most
profitable farms of all those within few
miles of this city, whose managers bank
considerable money yearly from the sale
of vegetables grown on a few acres that
are hired at rentals sometimes reaching
$500 per acre per annum. One man who
bought an up-r1ver farm of twenty-three
acres twenty years ago, has for years
averaged $1,000 yearly on the yield of
pear trees that he had planted himself
But the American farmer generally
seems to imagine that humanity needs
only wheat, corn and pork, SO he at
tempts to raise these on large scale,
while the vegetables and fruits on his
own table are purchased at high prices
in city markess. The farmer should
learn to eat something besides meat and
bread. He should also learn that the
people who do not own farms are will
ing and anxious to buy whatever vegeta-
bic products may be fit to eat.
