Reports from Gulford are not favorable to Mir. Murray. The N. Y. Eve. Post says that the farmers who have furnished him hay and grain are considerable losers; that eight of the horses are claimed by his wife's sister that two stallions are said to belong to two of his employees; and that the farm is nlortgag- ed about to it's full value. It would have been more manly, it strikes us, to have given what help he could towards the settlement of his affairs rather than to leave civilization in q pet, because he could not conform to the first principles of good business manage ment.

Iceland.

Saturdays Courant gives us very interest ing account of the career of Prof. Willard Fiske, of Cornell, the great Icelandic scholar Though he has alwaysmadea special study of it's literature, geography and history, he has never been able to visit Iceland till this summer He was most cordially received and lionized to an extent that must have been rather op- pressive to SO modest man. He finds Ice land making great advance in material pros perity, with the independence secured them by the constitution of 1874. The early pros- perity of the country was at one time com pletely ruined by the short.sighted seltishness of the old Danish government, and the entire abandonment of the island was contemplated. Greater freedom, however, brought greater prosperity, and now there seems an unusual activity and progress in every department.
 Schools are rising everywhere, and exten- sive agricultural improvements are in progress. (One deep and broad drainage trench through some meadows, as straight as a bee-liue for three miles, was noted.) Stone farm-houses are rapidly taking the place of the old tim ber-and turf houses and a system of roads, called national roads, is fast cotning into ex- istence. The new spirit allong tue people is very evident. Reykjavik (tlre eapitop is put ting on the airs of city, ami is rapidly in- crcasing iu slze. Tins Aiming (parlianlentl just closed has voted new capitol. Many handsome residences have been built within the past three years.
 The Icelandic tongue is the oldest living language of the Teutonic family.

It has 8 large and very ancient liter ature, and is consequently of great interest to phllologists.

The World publishes letter from the agent of the Cunard Steamship line abusing MT. maey of the Tribune, for statements made recently regarding the bad treatment of steer age passengers on that line. It begins with accusing him of trying to push himself into society where he was not wanted on passage in one of their ships, and then with having H. beled the line ever since because of his private grievance. Having made this preliminary ns- sault on Mir. Smalley the agent proceeds to deny his statements in detail. Perhaps it is because we incline to take sides with ,A paper fighting a corporation that the agent seems to us telling rather improbable story. If our memory serves us, MT. Smalley merely con. densed the statement made to London jour- nal. Why does not the agent deal directly with the principal instead of abusing bystand- CT Smalley.
