undation sweeps away The mud-bullt cot
tages of the tellaheen, browns the cattle, and
involves the whole population in ruin
Again, should it fall short of the ordinary
height, bad crops and dearth are the conse-
quences. The foundations, having remained
stationary for few days, begin to subside,
and about the end OF November most of the
fields are left dry and covered with layer
rich brown slime. This is the time the lands
are put under cultivation.
During the winter in England, which is the
spring in Egypt, the delta as well as the val
ley of the Nile, looks like delightful gar
den, smiling with verdure and blossom.
Later in the year the soil becomes psrched
and dusty, and in May the suffocating Khan
sin begins to blow frequently from the south,
sweeping along the fine sand and causing va
rious diseases until the rising of the river
comes again 10 refresh the land. Showers
are very rare inSEgypt except on the sea-
coast; il rains occasionally in Cairo and
sometimes in Upper Egypt. The nights,
however, are cool, and the dews heavy.
Strong winds blow from the north during the
summer, as the period of the inundat;on, and
are used in propelling vessels up the Nile
against the current.
An extremely low Nile is apt to produce
disease in both man and beast. The humid
ity of the atmosphere is principally con-
trolled by the rise and fall of the stream.
Fogs prevail during the first two months of
the rece6 ding of the waters. During May and
June the Nile remains at its lowest.
In the middle OF September, at its hight,
all the canals are filed and the water is ad-
mitted into the fields. Such a surface ma
terially alters the temperature, and light
dews occur about sunset through the lower
country. As the river falls, leaving the land
wet and exposed to the action Of the sun,
calculations arise which render the delta
somewhat unhealthy, the prevailing diseases
then being ophthalmia, dysentery; diarrheea
and ague. By the middle of November the
river has re- ired within Its banks
The nilometer used for the purpose of
measuring the hight of the Nile is situated
on the island of Rhoda, opposite old Cairo.
1t consists of a square well or chamber, in
the centre of which is a graduated pillar
divided into seventeen cubits, each about
81 7-16 inches long. Owing to the elevation

FROM our exchanges the past week
we notice over thirty of the leading
Republican newspapers of the State
strongly endorse the candidacy of Mr..
George Starr, of Coldwater, and urge
his nomination by the State conven'
ton for State Treasurer This suits
our views exactly, for we believe nc
man in Michigan is be tier qualified foi

the strength of the ticket; and besides,

STATE OFFICES.

Before our next issue the State con
vention will have been held that will
name the State officers for the ensuing
term. While we do not claim to be
prophetic, we think we can safely
name some of the gentlemen who will
be chosen
Gov. Jerome will meet with little or
no opposition in the convention, and
his nomination is assured.
For Secretary of State, VIM. Cros-
by, of Little Traverse, who is peculiar
ly qualified by experience for the posi-
ton, will undoubtedly be endorsed
For State Treasurer, George Starr,
OF Coldwater, cashier of the Coldwa-
ter National Bank, and one Of the
leading citizens of that enterprising
city, has been so largely endorsed by
the press of the State, and is so thor
oughly known for his answering Re.
publicanism, his honesty and business
ability, that his nomination seems Ger
tain.
For Commissioner of the State Land
Office, Otis f. NJ. Cutcheon, of Oscoda,
is most prominently named His ex
perience during the two terms which
lie served in the House as Representa-
tive from this district will be of value
TO that office, and his record is all that
could be desired. We expect he vii
be the successful candidate.
In regard to the other Offices to be
| filled we are not SO certain as to the
result, but satisfied that the party vii
nominate good and true men, we res
content.
