WILL THE IcELANDERs LEAVE IcELANpf
Commenting upon an sarticle from
the Springfield Republican, in which
that paper speculates upon the prob
ability that the recent frightful erup-
tons in Iceland will drive the people
away from that island, the Cincinnati
Commercial says: The Icelanders are
not likely to leave their beloved island
while there is good pasturage on any
part Of it. The notion that they are
about emigrating to Alaska in large
numbers is not warranted by any
thing coming from the Icelan--
ders themselves. As for earthquakes
and ontbursting volcanoes, they are
the normal phenomena of the land Of
frost and fire. There are very few in
habitants in the eastern portion of Ice
land, and if the volcanic action is con-
fined to that quarter, the showers of
ashes will be harmless in the tremen-
dous desert. The volcanic region is
the southern central part of the island,
where the climate is mildest and the
pasturage richest, and the rivers are.
filled with fine fish. If the earth
quakes are serious and the fall of ash
es great in that part of the country,
the loss of life will be very great.
When the island is severely shaken
the fish desert the rivers, and there
is dust from the volcanoes that, fall
ing on the grass, poisons the cattle
and sheep. In this way the food sup
ply is destroyed, and the death of the
cattle is followed by pestilence among
the people. During the historic peri
cd of Iceland, extending over one thou
sand years, there have been thirty
OF Hecla, the last occurrence
in lS45, since which date no alarming
volcanic disturbances occurred until
this spring. In lS45 the glare Of
l1eckla and her thunders were terrible
at Reikiavik, one hundred and forty
miles distant. The lcclanders are not
encrgctic-thcy have not the spirit Of
adventurc-they are fond of reading
their old romances through the long
winter nights, and with milk and fish
and corn brandy they can get along So
as to satisfy themselves.
They are never thinking less Of COM
ing away from their cid home than at
present. A few years ago some small
parties Of lcclanders came to this
country and settled in Wisconsin. It
happens in part from this circum~
stance, that lcclanders know. some
thing of Chicago and great deal
about Milwaukee. The tendency Of
the letters written to Iceland by those
who have settled ~ this country is to-
discourage further emigration. 1t is
gravely stated in Iceland that they
of the climate. They have
terrible stories of the wintry st''rms-
in our Northwest aid of the prostra-
ton OF business caused by the panic.
1t is about as probable that the inhab-
tants of Paris will emigrate to Ohio.
as that the Icelanders will insist upon.

parts needed to form the part Of one
man, part coming to part with a quick
click, and, when completed, the figure
sprung up, seized a mallet, and walk

A Gentle Hint.

Tobacco chewing is at best filthy
habit, but men habituated to it are
.somewhat eXcusable under all cir
cumstances save two or three, one of
which the purpose of this notice is to
mention. No gentleman is excusable
for using tobacco while in church
no matter how much slave he may
be 10 the habit, he can, if he choose,
suspend its use for the space of an
hour and half. 1t isalmost impos-
.sible to keep a church clean while
men will persist in splitting tobacco
Juice upon the floor. We have been
requested to make these remarks III
the hope that they would affect some
reform in the matter.
