An Iceland Legend.

' As early as 9Ss, Errick Rande, an Icelaudic
Chienian, fitted out an expedition Of twenty-five
gallies at Susfell, and hay ug manned them with
sufficient crews of coonists, set forth from Iceland
to what appeared 4 more c0ugenial climate. They
sailed upon the ocean fifteen days and they saw
no land. The next day brought with it q storm.
and many gallant vessels sunk in the deep.-
Mountains Of ice covered the water as far as the
eve could reach, end but few galleys escaped de-
structiOn. The morning OF the seventeenth dav
was clear and ciOIdless the Sca was calm aud far
away to the northward could be seen the glare OF
ice-fe Dis rejecting on the sky The remains Of
the shattered feet gathered together 20 pursue
their voyage but the galley Of Errick Rande was
not there The crew Of galley which was driven
further down than the rest reported that, as the
morning broke the IA e fields OF ice that had COW
cred the ocean were driven by The current mast

RaRde, borne by the res!stiess force, with the speed
Of the wind. before tremendous field Of ice--her
crew had lost all control over her-they we're tosg-
ing their arms in wild agony. Scarcely a moment
had elapsed before il was walled ia by hundred
cehs, and the whole mass moved forward and vaz
soon beyond the horizon That the galley of the
narratOrs escaped was wOnderful--it remained,
however uncontradicted, and the vessel of Errick
Rande was never more seen.
Hall century after that DANISH colony was
estab shed upon the western coast Of Greenland
The crew Of the vessels which carried the colonsts
thither in their excursions into the interior cross
ed range Of hills that stretched northward; thew
had approached nearer to the pole than sny pre-
ceding adgeBturers. Upon looking down from the
summit Of the hills, they beheld n vast and inter
minable field Of ice unduiating in various places.
and formed into thousand grotesuue shapes
They not far fEOm the shore a figure in an ice
vessel, with gliterng icicles instead Of mass ris-
ing from it. Curiosity prompted them to approach.
when they beheld a dismal sight. Figures OF men
in every attitude of woe were upon the deck, but
they were icy things one figure alone stood erect
and with folded arms, leaning against the mast
A hatchet was procured and the ice split away and
the features Of chieftian disclosed. palid and
deathly, and free from decay. This was doubtless
the vessel and that figure the form Of Errek Rande
Benumbed with cold, in the agony Of despair, his
crew had fallen around him. The spray of tho
ocean and the fogs had frozen as it lighted upon
them, and covered each figure with an icy robe
which the short-lived glance Of Greenland sun
had not time to remove. The Danes gazed upon
the spectacle with trembling. They knew not but
the scene might be their fate. They kneIt down
upon the deck, and mnttered prayer in their na-
tive tongue for the souls of the frozen crew, then
hurredly left the place for the night was approach.

Mrs. Bradford was the only child of Elias Bou-

the revolution, and she and Mrs. Hamilton and
the only ladies of our Republican Court now liv-
ing Mrs Carroll was one of the daughters of
Benjamin Chew. She was not married until af-
ter Washington's final retirement to Mt. Vernon,
but she and her sister, Mrs. Henry Phillips, were
great favorites with the chief, and were much in
his society as girls. The marriage of an elder
sister to Col. John Eager Howard, of Baltimore,
was attended by him at Chew's baronial house in
Germantown, during the sitting of the Federal
Convention in 1887, Mrs. Howard came back to
reside in Philadelphia, in 1896, when her husband
entered Congress as senator from Maryland.
Cost of Living in New York in 1888, Described

Il there is town on the American continent
where English luxury displays its foes. it is New

in September, loaded at once with apples and with
flowers. NJ de CrevelcGur is right in his descrip
ton of the abundance and good quality of the pro-
visions of New York, in vegetables, flesh, and es
pecialIy in fish. 1t is difficult to unite so many
a lvantages in one place. Provisions are dearer |
at New York than in any other of the northern or
middle States. Many things, especially superhu- |
ties, are dearer here than in France. A hair

AMUSING MISTAKE. -One Sunday eve
ming lately, while the Rev. DR.. Welch OF
Albany, was in the midst Of his most impas.
stoned charity sermons to crowded house
an incident occurred which put TO test his
politeness and presence Of mind. A pair
were waiting to be married after the SER
mon, and were to be called forwa I'd by the
sexton. But the latter official having be.
come absorbed in drowsiness or cdlltempla.
ton while the Doctor was speaking was
suddenly reused to recollec ion by hearing
the doctor exclaim, in the course of his
sermon, "The spirit and the brido say,
come"
OF he posted to the wedding company,
and notified them that the moment had FAR
rived Tor the ceremony. They promptly
obsyed the summons, and the bride and
groom, bridesmaid and groomsman, came
marching down the broad aisle in the midst
Of the Discourse. The preacher seeing at
q glance that mistake had been commit
cd, finished his sentence, descended from
the pulpit with dignity and composure, tied
tho irrevocable knot, and returned to his
pulpit to finish his discourse. The we'd
ding rarty were not at oil aware that every.
thing was not as it should be.
