A few gay bonnets were to be seen here and there,

universal little black patch of black silk or cotton

hair on the top or the head and has long tassel
dangling from the lett slde with q silver or brass
ornament attached thereto. 1t seemed to me

The celebration Of the Millennial began to-day.
When came on deck in the morning very lively
scene greeted me. Flags were nying from all the
ships and from every housetop, and the men-of-
war were decorated after the most approved naval
fashion. The sun was shining brilliantly and the
air was clear and warm. Away on to the north
west loomed up the white crest OF Snacfell J0kul,
through which Jules Verne made his imaginary
descent into the Of the earth; TO the south
east was the sharp peak OF Keylir; to the north
great liue Of sun illumned Gins.
At eight clock salute was fred from the ships,
and soon afterwards we went ashore to witness
the ceremonies at the Cathedral. We found
the large open green about the build.

had come from far and near. and
every one I passed seemed to say, "Ah, look at

Along this plain 1t was that the people pitched
their camps and planted their booths, and some Of
them. meant to last from year to year, are not YET
so broken down by time that their foundations
may not be traced. One OF them, indeed, very
near the Lagborg. is quite conspicuous.
1t was certainly most appropriate that this his
toric ground should have been selected for the
celebration OF Iceland's millennial On returning
from the Geysers bright and CHEEKY scene was
there to greet US. About one hundred clean
white tents were pitched in the green
valley, and four thousand people and az
least double that number of horses were
scattered about here and there presenting
such an enliveninq sight as has, dare say, never
been before witnessed since the GOOD old days of
the Althng, when the people came together to heaf
the law, to get judgment. TO witness the battle

The Southern Floods.

The floods of 1874, which are delu G.
ing the South ndsweeping away the ris-
ing crops, will have an effect they never
had before. In past years the rising
of the Mississippi has been attended by
much loss, but the loss this year prom
Uses to be greater than ever. Previous
to the war, when the planter owned his
field hands, be fled before the deluge
to high land, taking hands, cattle, and
implements with him. The fight was
only a temporary retreat. When the
waters subsidized, the whole plantation
was recovered. The soil was in excellent
condition for late crop, and no time
was lost in taking advantage of it. The
harvest was always of unusual richness,
and the abundance of the yield more
than compensated for the previous loss.
Now the case is different. The hired
farm-hands stampeded at the first alarm,
leaving the cattle and implements at the
mercy of the floods. There will be no
second crop this year, when the waters
eubside. 1he loss in stock will be total.
1t is gloomy outlook for the planters,
who will be poorer by the waters than
by the war. For they cannot avail
themselves Of the compensation which
bountiful Nature offers for her rude
tumult. Chicago Tribune.

Leaves and Lungs.

There IS everywhere an exchange 60
ing on between leaves and lungs lungs
give carbon to leaves, and keep oxygen
themselves. But how is this i'll winter,
when there are no leaves except upon
evergreens? Do these leaves take up
all the carbon that is then breathed
out? No; they are not numerous
enough to do this. Does carbonic acid
gas then increase in the air, and oxygen
lessen? Not at all. 1t is as in sum-
mer when leaves are alive and breath
ing. 1 will tell you how this can be.
Gases readily mix with each other,
especially when shaken: Now, every
motion of air, every gust of wind,
shakes the gases that compose the air
and scatters the carbonic acid gas. This
gas, therefore, we may say, flies on the
wings of the wind, and bfeathed out in
one place may thus find its way to many
places, not merely miles out at the
north in the winter, but may thus go to
the south TO be breathed IN by leaves
there, and the sunny southern climes
send oxygen for the lungs of those who
dwell in the north.

How ChrOmOs Are Made.

Chromos are printed from Autograph
ic stones, each color requiring different
impression. The lines which receive
the ink or oil colors are composed OF
some greasy substance, which is applied
with pen crayon brush to the stone.
The inky material is then washed with
weak acid solution, which has the
effect of hardening it. Water is then
applied. which vets the clean portions
OF the stone, leaving the greasy lines
dry, and after this the ink or color be-
ing laid over the entire surface of the
stone, only adheres to the greasy lines.
The art was invented about the year
1900, by a Bavarian, named Alloys Sen
efelder. The best stones employed IN
photography, are slabs of a light'colo
kind of limestone, found Mt Solenhofen,
on the Danube river. They are very
fine grained, are of pearl gray tint or
light buff, and are very hard and free
from defects. To prepare them for
use, they are ground to a smooth, even
face and polished, then they are ground
or roughed according to the degree of
fneness required in the impression, by
rubbing the faces of two stones to-
gether.

MEMPHIS, Iowa, Jan. ID. 1874.
"DEAR GLAD: The blarsted Ameri-
cans, never very reverent of law, are
Just now in devil of stew about the
appointment of a suitable politician for
Supreme Justice TO fill the vacancy
occasioned by the death of the late
Horace Greedy, who resigned it to be-
come candidate for Governor of the
Baltimore Convention. Satisfied, as l
am, that you will never be able to make
head or tail of the 'muddle (to use an
expressive Americanism) from the cable
and newspaper account of it, L know
you will be interested to hear from me
the true nature of this interesting COM
plication. 1t seems that when vacan-
cy occurs in the Supreme Bench it must
be filled by appointment of the Govern
or of the United States, which Office is
now held by Gen. Grant. The Generals
ostler, who, it seems, is bit OF law
yer as well as equerry and chief keeper
of the landaulet, wanted the position of
Chief Justice besides, and SO the Gov
ernor, Grant, appointed this extrordi-
nary person to that position, and his
name is Williams. The American edi-
tors got up what they style a perfect
howl over this appointment, which so
badgered the poor Governor that he
was compelled to withdraw his nomina-
tion-intimations having reached him
that the Senate would never confirm an
applicant who hadn't been first bap-
tized. The Governor then appointed
person by the name of Calebs to be
Chief Justice, when another howl
from another set Of editors began. 1t
is almost impossible in this country to
do anything of a political character
without producing a howl from some
quarter-and friend Of the Governors,
a sergeant of his body-guard, having dis
covered letter which cost $50, 600
among some archives which had been
sold to the Copfederates by Mr.. Boone,
while President of Kentucky, and this
letter, which was written Ill ARABIC, was
of n highly reasonable character
against one of the Governors old flags.
1t was addressed to a Gen. Davis, now
Governor of Texas, proposing to send
him troops to suppress loyal Legisla-
ture, elected in that State by more than
a constitutional majority. The obiec-
ton to Davis, by the Senate, being that
he had previously threatened to appoint
one Mr.. Black Supreme Justice over
Governor Grants veto; consequently
the name of Calebs was withdrawn, and
the Americans now have no court to
amount to anything-the decisions of
the eight Democrats now on the bench
being Of so partisan a character as to
defeat the ends of justice. If any new
development occurs in this exciting
complication, rest assured L will adj
dress you from Florida. Yours III haste,
"GoRE."

THE Mississippi Legislature has en-
acted statute that will be a serious
obstacle to the liquor traffic-if it is
enforced. 1t gives the people of each
township or city the privilege of decid-
ing whether or not they will license the
sale of liquor, but differs materially
from other local option laws, in that
Al petition requires the signature of a
majority of the men over twenty-one
years of age, and of women over eighteen
years of age, in any locality, before the
license can issue. This is commend
able recognition of the rights of women,
who are often the worse sufferers from
incompetence, even on the partof others.
