The London Universe tells the follow
ing excellent anecdote
Bismarck has been very i'll for some
weeks, and this time his complaint seems
to be serious indeed. When at the Con-
gress of Vienna, enc day Metternich was
ANNOUNCED TO be indisposed Talleyrand
very pertinently asked What motive
can Monsieur lie Prince have for being
ill2' In the present instance the great
mans iudisposirion is admitted on all
hands to be real and not slammed.
From his sick couch he has been ad-
dressing peevish remonstrances to the
German Parliament for venturing to
think twice before resigning all future
control over the military expenditure.
Altogether the great chancellor is in a
very bad way, and if Berlin paper,
the Borsen Courier, is to be believed,
domestic troubles seem to have
something to do with ii. Accord
ing to this paper, one 4. Of the
most celebrated statesmen of the day

The M.IIenniai of iceland.


On the 4th OF July, 1876 the people Of
tennial Anniversary of their national
existence. On the I'd day Of August of
the present year, the people Of Iceland
will celebrate the Mulennial Anniver-
sary of the existence of their republic.
A republic thousand years old
Probably nowhere else could o republic
have survived the half of thousand
wears. Iceland is honored by an intelli-
gent, hospitable and virtuous people.
They are made up of Northmen from
Norway, Sweden, Denmark, the Farce
Islands, and the Hebrides, but chiefly
from Norway. 1t was first discovered by
a Norwegian in 500, and was pe-ma-
nently settled on the I'd of August, S74,
by the Jarls Of Norway, who were an in
dependent, free spirited people whom
the King resolved 10 thoroughly subju-
gate. To escape his tyranny they fled
to Iceland.
Though Norway held nominal juris'
diction over the Island until she became
annexed to Denmark, yet the liberties of
the people have not been disturbed, nei-
ther have they been subject to tribute.
The island is decidedly hyperborean,
but its valleys afford abundant pastures
for sheep and cattle, and its waters
abound in fish. Its summers are short,
but the sun is ever visible: and its win
ters are long and chiefly lighted by the
oorealis and the moon. Vegetation is
rank and Of rapid growth. The natural
resources of the island are not sufficient
to enrich monopolists, usurers and
shrewd operators; and hence there is no
avarice and vanity to debauch the few
by the robbery and impoyerishment of
the many. A delightful degree Of equal
iiy prevails. Hence the prevalence Of
| the fraternal sentiment, and the univer.
sal harmony upon which popular virtue
and liberty depend for support and per-
petuity.
Iceland has schools and literature
that is older than that Of any European
nation. Her religion is that Of Odin.
which bears considerable relation TO that
of the old Brahnins that antedates the
epoch of Moses. The Icelanders have
been troubled by no schism, sectarian-
Ism or religious wars. The first settlers
were valiant warriors, but there, in
happy isolation from the higotry aud the
brutality of Europe, there under the
North pole and in sight Of the eternal
flames of Mt Heckla, they have, for a
thousand years, basked in the beams Of
peace, and enjoyed their liberties with
none to modest them.
Fortunate peoplel Others have not
coveted their rock-ribbed mountains and
eternal SHOWS, and they have been let
alone by the knaves that ever curse the
land that is blessed by a bountitul provi
| dence.
Switzerland is a republic anchored in
the bosom of Europe, and she may live
to celebrate her millennial; bat il so, it
will be because the knaves of Europe
protect her by their own mutual Jealousy
ana hate,
We shall soon celebrate our centen-
nial; but are we not, at the age of an
hundred years, more decrepit in moral
and social point of view than are the
Icelanders at the age of thousand
years?
