The Icelandic Lutheran Church.

The 1cclandic Lutheran Church Of
America consists of twenty-five congrc-
cations, and has just held its fifth annual
conference at Argyle, in Manitoba In
1880 the whole number of immigrants
from Denmark to the United States was
only little over 81 900, including lee
landers; but since then the total has been
about doubled, and among the new set
tiers are many Icc!andcrs also, though
their most numerous colony is in Manito-
ba. They have established colony in
Dakota, one in Southern Minnesota, and
there ism settlement at Green Bay AL
though they number rs yet only IL few
thousands in both this country and Can
ada, with the prospect, however, of a
considerable increase, though it can
never be great, since the population of
Iceland itself is barely $4,000. These
immigrants from Iceland come from n
region where they have never seen a real
tree, road or a pillow, and yet it is re-
markablc how soon they adapt them
selves to their new surroundings. They
arc of much intelligence, and there are
no people among whom education is moro
generally diffuscd, the humblest being
able to read and write, and being thor
oughly conversant with the sages, and
the history and laws of their country

gigantic DEMONSTRATING industry is
thought to have been established in thc
Cotcaus along the Missouri River. a
great many horses stray away and are
never heard from: others are taken from
the stables and no trace is ever found of
them, aud their complete disappearance,
and the utter impossibility Of ever find :
ing them after they have straycd away or
been stolen has been a mystery that has
caused considerable comment; but facts
have lately come to light which nav ex-
plain some Of the looscncss of equine
property.
Dliicrcn, parties take number of old,
dccrcpit horses out among the hills which
are totally uninhabited, and any strays
that may be around will come TO the
herds, when they will be caught and sent
out to other parties connected with the
gang, and in few days they will have
the horses hundreds of miles from where
they were picked up, and then offer them
for sale with safely. Facts lead to the
belief that this organization leads from
near Pierre, South Dakota. to Great Falls,
Montana, and possibly to the British pos
sessions. Horses that are stolen near
Pierre are run North through the Cotcaus,
travelling stated distances and by night,
and are stolen in the northern field while
horses that are sold in the North are
sent South, and sold or traded between
La Mourc, North Dakota, and Pierre.

The Inilign Plant.

The best indigo is obtained from two
shabby plants, IndigUfcra tinctoria and 1.
Anil. The former is native of India,
and the latter of Che West Indies. TO
extract the indigo the plants arc cut
down, or maccratcd in water, the blue
matter falls to the bottom, the muddy
sediment being pressed into cakes and
dried, but there are a large number of
plants which yield indigo that do not be-
long to the same genus of plants as the
true indigo, but most Of it is of an infer
Tor quality. Indigo is now principally
cultivated in India, but tho recent discov-
cry of tho means of preparing artificial
