The Seasons in Iceland.

From the 10th or 18th of June, till
the end of the month there is no night
The sun disappears for short time be-
hind the hills, but twilight and dawn
are blended together, and the last rays Of
evening have not faded from the sky be-
fore the mornings light breaks forth with
renewed brilliancy. l was in Icelcnd
from the 18th of May to the 29th of July,
and although ] never went to bed before
ii o'clock, did not once require the
light of candle. In May, as well as the
end of July, tie twilight lasted about
two hours, but it was never dark. Even
at the time of my departure 1 could see
to read till half past eleven. At first it
seemed very strange to go to bed in
broad daylight but soon got used to it,
and no sunshine was bright enough to
keep me awake after IL o'clock. 1t of
ten struck me as very ridiculous, how
ever, to go out for an evening stroll
about ten, and find myself in the full
light Of day, instead of the soft glimmer-
ing of the moon and stars.

Remarkable Works of Human Labor.

Nineveh was IA miles long, s miles
wide, and 46 miles round, with wall
100 feet high, and thick enough for three
chariots abreast. Babylon was fifty
miles within the walls, which were 100
feet high and rs feet thick, with 100
brazen gates. The Temple of Diana at
Ephesus, was 400 feet to the support of
the roof it was 100 years in building.
The largest of the Pyramids is 4S1 feet
in height, and 953 on the sides the
base covers IL acres, and the stones are
about GO feet in length, and the layers
are 20S; it employed 100000 men in
building. The labyrinth in Egypt con-
tanned 800 chambers and II halls. Thebes
in Egypt, presents ruins 27 miles round,
and 100 gates. Carthage was 20 miles
round. Athens was % miles round,
and contained $50, 900 citizens and 4OO,-
600 slaves. The Temple of Delphos
was so rich in donations that it was plum
dered of f10, 900, and Nero carried
away from it 200 statues. The walls Of
Rome wers 13 miles round.

A Death Scene.

Says French correspondent Here /
am on the scene of drama, and find
it difficult to feel its power. The wealth
er is mild, the sky blue. The soldiers OF
Montmartre who surround me look kindly
enough. They sing, they play at corks.
The officers walk up and down laughing
But great black wall pierced by balls,
and the crest of which is crumbling,
rises like witness and relates the CRIME.
1t is against this wall that several officers
were shot. 1t seems that at the last mo-
ment Gen. Lecomte, till then dignified
and resolute, felt his courage fail. He
tried to struggle, to fly, he ran several
steps i'll the garden then, instantly re-
taken, shaken, dragged, hustled, he fell
on his knees and spoke of his children.
Il have five !' said he, sobbing. The
fathers heart burst through the soldiers
tunic. There were fathers in that crowd,
and some voices replied with emotion to
this heart-stirring appeal but the i'm
placable hnesmen would not hear
word. "If we do not shoot him today
he will have us shot tomorrow. He was
pushed against the wall. A Sergeant of
the line almost Immediately advanced
toward him. General" said he. if
you will promise" Suddenly chang
ing his mind, he stepped two PAGES back,
and discharged his Chassepot full in the
Generals chest. The others had only
to finish the deed. Clement Thomas
never showed a moments weakness.
His back against the same wall as Le-
comte, but two PAGES from his corpse,
he made head against death to the end,
and spoke very harshly. When the guns
were lowered he, by an instructive ges-
ture, placed his left arm before his face
and this old Republican died in the atti
tude of Caesar. Above the place where
they fell against that wall, sad and naked
as the mark in shooting gallery, some
branches Of peach are still trained, and
an early flower blooms in whiteness,
which the bullets have spared, and the
powder failed to blacken.

BOttling Sunshine.

Don't laugh The thing has been
done. Here is the story, as We find it in
foreign journals
"A singular discovery is announced
by the Echo Rochel1is as having been
made by French Professor at the Col
lege of Saintes, in Charente Inferleure.
1t consists of the singular fact of actually
bottling the suns rays and utilizing them
at pleasure. The writer describes the
operation rs follows The Professor
takes a vase-the material is not men,
tioned-and exposes it in certain posi-
tion to the direct action of the suns rays
After it has thus absorbed the heat for
the space of quarter OF an hour, it is
closed with cork and Theoretically
sealed, small aperture being left in the
cork. Affixing a powerful lens to the
vase, he causes the solar rays to converge
to point upon the wick of common
candle, placed on table at distance of
one yard from the vase. In less than
three seconds the wick ignitcs and lights
the candle, which burns steadily. The
writer states that the experiment was
tried several times, and was equally sue
cessful on each occasion.

A Few Words about Horse. flesh.

A few years ago grand banquet was
given by the director of the Veterinary
School at Abort, near Paris, for the pur-
pose of demonstrating the value Of horse
flesh as an article of food and, -, order
to give fair trial, beside each dish Of
horse was a corresponding one in beef.
With the exception of the director, none
OF the distinguished guests--the first
men Of the city-had ever paItaken of
this new food. The animal which fur
nished the specimens was an old horse,
twenty-three years old, paralyzed in his
hind quarters, and, therefore, though in
other respects quite healthy, and very
fat, not likely to furnish such good eat
ing as young and more tender one.
Tie verdict in regard to the soup was
unanimously in favor of the horse-fesh
it was declared to be of the same taste as
the beef soup, but richer, stronger,
more gelatinous, and more capable of
concentration. 1.-THE banquet closed
with fine, fat, thick fillet of horse, lard
ed and dressed like venison ; it was tri-
umphantly welcomed, and voted super
excellent it was tender, juicy, high fla
vored, more delicate and melting than
venison, more gamey than beef. 1t was
pronounced to be great
discovery, an immense addition to til
pleasures of the table-a sort of mixture
between venison, hare, and beef" Every
guest begged that the cook would cut off
a good slice, that he might carry it home,
and let the inmates of his house Judge of |
its excellence.

A Strange Revelation.

Ever since the sudden prostration
OF Louis nj. Gottschnlk. the eminent
J American pianist and musical composer,
In the midst of grand concert which
he was giving in Rio Juneiro, Nov. 70,
1863, there have been current in that city
floating rumors that this and his death
on Dec. Is, following, were the result Of
some foul play. gentleman who has
recently arrived from Rio Janeiro gives
an account both of the various rumors
which have obtained some degree Of
credence and also Of what appears to be
the true st ry Us he learned it, just be-
fore his departure, from DR.. Severiano,
the physician who attended Gottschalk
in his last hours. The same gentleman
had also obtained corroborative infor-
nation from Firmin, who accompanied
the pianist as a sort of major domo, up
on his tour in Brazil. The stories agreed
that the immediate cause of his death
was a blow upon the back from "sand-
bag"-a deadly weapon used by Bra
lillian assassins. The instrument is q
small sack tightly filed with sand, and
suspended at the end of cane. The
effect of blow from it, usually given
upon the back, is almost always fatal,
though the injuries received do not fully
develop themselves for days or even for
weeks afterward. Gottschalk himself
said very little of the causes OF his pros
tration, and it is thought, hardly real
lied their nature. The explanation
stated to have have been given by Dr.
Severiano is as follows:
Gottschalk sent his agent, Firmin, to
San Paule, which is 16 hours by rail
from Rio Janeiro, and is the seat OF a
college for young men, TO make arrange
ments for concert The college boys,
being unusually frolicsome, inflicted
many annoyances upon Firmin, and at
tempted to practice the same upon
Gottschalk, on his arrival on the day OF
the concert. Gottschalk became much
enraged, and drove the prosecutors out OF
the room where they assembled around
him. That night, MS he was leaving the
place where the concert was held, he was
struck in the back by some unknown
person with sand-bag. He was mo-
mentarily stunned, but passed on, and
soon returned to Rio Janeiro He com
planned from that time. however, Of an
oppression in his chest, which, it now
appears, was caused by n loosening OF
the ligaments of the lungs, from the
ugly blow of the sand-bag. An abscess
was formed in the back par. of his chest,
as was ascertained upon postmortem ex-
animation, and it was doubtless the
breaking of this abscess which caused
his prostration in the midst of his last
His death soon followed, and
was accounted for, upon the post-mortem I
by the discovery of what
was apparently a cancerous formation in
one of the lungs. The details of the case,
however they may at the time have !
been understood, were hushed up and
it is only by the recent explanations Of
the physician and of Firmin. that any
correction of mistaken rumors has been
offered. 7

Cattle Roasted Alive.

A few days since, the workmen on the
farm Of DR.. McNaughton, some two OF
three miles out of the city of Jackson,
Mich, discovered that the barn and sta
bles, in which were thirty y-nine cows, two
calves, and one bull, were on fire. When
discovered, the entire building was in
flames, and they were compelled to stand
by and see the cattle roasted alive. 1t
WAS truly terrible sight to behold.
The barn also contained a large amount
of grain, consisting of 600 bushels of
wheat, and 500 bushels of oats. The fire
also communicated to an adjoining barn,
in which was stored a large quantity of
hay and farming implements, including
n valuable horsep power feed-cutter, which
was also entirely destroyed. A man
named Trask, who lives in Henrietta,
has been arrested on suspicion of being
the author of this disaster.
Shortly after the fire occurred, a few
bags were found in the road Just beyond
where the barn was burned. These bags
had Trask's name on them, and he has
been arrested, the theory being that he
went with the bags for the purpose OF
stealing wheat, and while in the barn his
lamp exploded, or some other accident
took place, with the light which he had,
that was the means of setting fire to the
barn. 1t is supposed that the rogues
left hastily, and, as they were going
away, dropped the bags which were
found.

Der the glories in the West.
And my restless spirits wander
Far and wide In search " rest,
Angels whisper, "See, tits there,
In yon castles in the air.
But when approach them nearer,
And their beauties fain would clasp,
Neither more distinct nor clearer,
Even they elude my grasp.
And turn in sad despair
From nv castles in the air.
