4 FESTIVAL IN ICELAND.

Iceland las in contemplation next year
to celebrate the thousandth year since
settlement of the island (S74). As early
AS $50 Dane named Garder was dritted
from Scotland in the stormy weather
uorthward to an unknown coast. He
wintered in the country and called it
Gardarsholm. Shortly thereafter Nor
wegian, Nadod, was also drifted there.
In S6S the island was visited by another
Norwegian, Floke, who remained for a
year there and named it Iceland. Ingolf
driven into exile on account of cruelties
prepretrated by the Norwegian King
Hagar Haarsager, proceeded in S74 with
his foster-brother to Iceland, and there
founded the earliest settlements. These
were near the place where Reikjavik, the
capital Of the island, now stands.
Others followed the brothers, and the
island was soon inhabited. From Ice
land Greenland, ms is known, was dis
covered, and from it hardy Morse sea-
men, about the year 1000, reached that
part of the coast of the American conti-
rent now forming Massachusetts,. 1t is,
consequently, not without some histori-
cal justification that the celebrated Nor
wegau violinist, Ole Bull, has been col
lecting subscriptions at concerts among
his countrymsn to erect monument to
the Norwegian, Lett Erikson, the first
discoverer of America, as the latter
touched American ground from four to
five hundred years before Columbus, and
there are indications that the Genoese
was not only acquainted with the voy-
ages of the old Morse sailors to America,
but that they were not without influence
on his plan and its execution. II Cologne

The New York Tribune has been com.
pairing the statistical returns presented
by the census tables as to the decrease in
the crops Of the South brought about by
the direct or indirect action of the war.
The comparison as made for the years
1860 and 1870, shows q decrease OF L.
10000 bales of cotton; 1900, 900 pounds
oiwool; 10000, 900 pounds of tobacco

wheat; 5OO, 900 bushels of rye; 1l0, 900
tons Of hay; $4,000 tons of hemp; l00,-
10000 bushels of corn.
This result is mainly attributable to
the fact that many thousands OF negro
men who formerly belonged to the pro.
uuclng classes are now consuming poll
ticians' They have no further use for
WORK, so far as they are Individually con-
cerhed. Then again, the colored women
nave, as rule, retired from tho field

however, met to some extent by white
loiiers who have pulled of their coats

DANGER ISLAND.

Far south, in the Indian Ocean writes
= traveler) in the midst of almost eternal
inf and spray, rises what is appropriate
~ termed Danger Island. OF all the
j3pely spots on the globe. whose exist.
snce has been ascertained. this is proba-
bly the most lonely. Once only has it
been known to have been visited by man.
Tbs sea for many hundred miles rolls
and flashes over shallow bottom, till,
arriving at a certain degree Of latitude,
the floor of rock abruptly terminates, and
the ocean becomes in q moment OF un-
fatbomable depth. On the very edge of
This ABYSS stands Danger Island, which
the least touch Of an earthquake or an
unusual hurricane may some day topple
over into the bottomless gulf. The bill
lows incessantly fret and foam against
the cliffs OF Danger Island, which on all
sides descend sheer into the deep. so as
appear from a distance perfectly accessi-
ble.
A surveying ship, traversing the ocean
in all directions for scientific purposes,
once approached this wild rock. After
rowing to considerable distance along
the foot of the precipices one gentleman
discovered small fissure, through which
he felt confident they could climb to the
summit and the boat being pushed quite
close to the rocks, two or three OF the
most daring landed. and after no slight
toll reached the top. The prospect which
then presented itself was truly extraordi-
nary. Rendered green as an emerald by
the agency of hidden springs, the whole
surface of the islet was thickly strewn
with eggs of innumerable ocean birds,
which, rising from their task of incuba-
ton, formed a canopy of futtering wings
overhead. The eggs were of all colors-
white, light chocolate, and cerulean blue,
dotted with brown or crimson, or tur-
quoise, or black Here and there little
bills protruded from the shells; and the
mothers, though scared away for mo-
ment by the unusual apparition of men,
soon aighted near their young.

AMERICAN SocIETY.-There is really
growing to be something which may be
strictly called society in America. We
are discovering that society does not
mean collection Of rich people, whose
possessions permit them any sort of ex-
travagance; but that it means all sorts of
people-those who have much money
and those who have little; those whose
mansions hold hundreds and those whose
parlors are crowded with fifty. And the
last Ia, is the most important discovery.
The left-out feeling that many persons
OF moderate means have had is passing
away. They find they can take a grace
full part in social life without too great
outlay Of time and money; and they en-
brace the opportunity with cordiality.
Society must always be SO different in
this country from what it is anywhere
else that no comparison is possible. But
it cannot fail to have freedom and vari.
ETY. very attractive.
