something over 5000 for that cause.
They were not satisfied with that show

take this occasion to record my apprecia-
ton Of the truly fraternal treatment
which I in private received from this

wo,t tn is too slight to have received the
uniform courtesy and fraternal greeting
extended by all Of those with whom /
have mingled for the present week, had
there not been a genuine appreciation of
the merits of our Methodisim.

they, on Il few occasions gave expression
to their W peculiarities. it was done in
candor and modesty. I felt no resent
ment at their knowing that true Chris

HerOdOtlls and the Nile.

Relatively to tho bulk of water, the
amount of solid matter transported an
nually by the Nile must be far less than
that which is carried down by the rapid
streams of mountainous countries in
temperate climates-such, for example,
as the Upper Rhone. We have no very
satisfactory estimate of what that amount
may be, but am disposed to think that
the ordinary computation, according to
which the average deposit over the
delta amounts to not more than a layer
one-twentieth of an inch thick annually.
at any rate, not under the mark. But
this is very interesting question, for it
is obvious that, if we may assume that
the deposit of the Nile has taken place
possible, given the thickness of the
the minimum time occupied in its forma-
ton. The borings made under the di-
rectioD of the late Leonard Horner in
the upper part of the delta. and those
subsequently conducted by Figari Bay,
favor the conclusion that the natural
loose soil which fills the fiat basin of the
delta nowhere exceeds sixty feet in
depth. Assuming it to have this thick
ness in any spot, it follows that, at one
twentieth of an inch of deposit per
annum, it must have taken at least A.
400 years to accumulate to that thickness
at that place. Aud if so, Herodotus
seems at first, to have made good guess
when he said that the Arabian Gulf and.
by implication, that of the delta might
have been filled up in 800 900 years, or
even half the time" I am afraid, how
ever, that any such modern estimate has
not much surer foundation than the
ancient guess. For. in the first place
there are many reasons for believing
that he action of the Nile has not been
uniform throughout the whole period
represented by the deposit of alluvinm:
and, in the second place, if it had been,
the simple process of division of the
total thickness of the alluvium by that of
the annual deposit does not, by any
means, necessarily give the age of the
whole mass of ailuvium in the delta, or,
in other words. the time which elapsed
during the filling of the delta, as it is
sometimes supp osed to do. According
70 Figarl Bay. the deepest, and there
fore earlieat, alluvium in the delta con-
tains gravel and even boulders; so that,
If these are fuviative beds, which is not
quite certain, they indicate that, at the
time when they we're deposited, the cur
rent of the Nile in this region was much
more powerful than it is now, and con-
sequently. that its annual additions were
much more considerable.-P Professor

seems to have had some experience with the
disease that is playing such havoc among
the horses Of the country, gives the follow
ing treatment for the disease: This being .
typhoid disease. requires sustaining treat
ment or cure will be very doubtful. In
the early stage of the disease, give the first
two days ten drops of tincture of acconite,
or bryona, in little water, every six hours;
after which give in pail of water to drink,
once day, one ounce of spirits of nitre or
two drachms of extract of belladona; and
give in the feed three times day one of
the following powders: Gentian root, salt
petre and anise seed. of each one ounce:
sulphate of quinine, one drachm; mix and
divide into eight powders, or powdered Gin
chona, and powdered qusssia Of each two
ounces, powdered anise seed, one ounce,
mix and divide into four powders; the throat
should be bathed in mustard and vinegar;
no hay should be given, but scalded oats
and wheat bran, with linseed tea..or oatmeal
Cruel, should constitute the diet; few
carrots would be very good, aad above all
6 ood nursing is very desirable.

Noodles VIII Come.

The Columbia W. 7. Chronicle says: It
is currentin The west that in many Eastern
places cur people are regarded as a set Of
savsges, only half civilized. This Eastern
opinion, If we are correctly informed, is fed
and fostered by the silly popinjays who
leave their homes in the cities with the El
Dorado hope that they are on journey
to place where their slight minds will be
recognized as comparative leaders, and all
they have to say is s9 came, saw, con-
bured." But when they find the people as
they really exist, they then write home
about the lack of refinement and society.
We say this class, without brains of course,
do more to misrepresent our coast and it's
people than do all other agencies combined.
Sensible people come and are surprised at
our rapid achievements in go short time,
settle down and make the very best of citi-
zens. But with the sensible people will
come these poor noodles, and it can not be
prevented.
