Tho now order of Sovereigns of In- dustry is growing rapidly In Massa chusetts, where there are a Stato Coun cil and fifty-seven subordinate Councils located In thirty-six (linerent cities and towns. One of the objects of this order is to do away with middlemen in the purchase of commodities of all kinds, and tho means used to effect this purpose are aomewhat ailiercnl from those that have usually been em ployed by associations seeking to gain um inmo end. The Executive Com mittee have been making arrangements with wholesale dealers in various branches of trado whereby members of the order ean bo supplied witb goods in any quantity at a largo discount from retail prices. The Boston Arluef fitvr says that an arrangement has been made with one of tbe oldst-eg-tablished wholesale clothing house In that city by which members of the order obtain six per con off of the lowest wholesale prices on anything they wish to ptirchnso, no matter how small the amount of the bill. A largo Srocery house has agrood to make a iseouiit ot ten per cent, on all goods sold to ".Sovereiirns," and a separate arrangement has lecn made tor the purchaso of teas, coffee, and spices. Dry gotsls are obtained at a discount of fifteen per cent, on retail prices antl arrangements have been completed with leading bouses for the purchase of almost every variety of goods, tho merchants making a large reduction in prices in consideration of rocoiving the paironago oi ine timer.

Tho hnnds are all hired by tho month and boarded. There is a resident doctor llr. Ulan who attends to the sick. According to actual figures it is demonstrated that 11 cents per bushel in ordinary seasons will put corn in tbe crib, and 20 cents per day will board hands. 1 be lol lowing is the bill of fttre for June, 1874 Smoked shouldor, moss beof, fresh beef, flour, bread, rice, boans, peas, tea, col- fee, sugar, dried apples, vinegar, mo Itvascs, lard, apices, eggs, fresh vege tables, etc. ; eost por capita, 26J cent.

It is said to be, by competent judges, tbe best and most complete elevator in uie State, outside of Chicago. There is now in crib on the farm, 41)0,000 bushels of corn, waiting to be shelled and shipped. CoCNTINO A IllLLION. What it billion f The reply is very simple- million times a million.

TBE ISLAND QF ICELAND. AN INTMUTINO eJKITCH OF ITS HISTORY AND OF ITS PIOPLE. The celebration of tho ono thou sandth anniversary of the settlement of Iceland naturally brings that conn try prominently before the world. The island of Iceland lies between latitude 63 deg. 25 pain, and 68 deg. 30 train, north, and no part of it is, there fore, more than two miles beyond the Aretio circle. West of Greonwlch it stretches from longitude 13 dog. 38 min. to 24 dog. 40 min. ; or, to simply convert degrees and minutes into Eng lish statutes miles, it is, from its ex treme east to it extreme west point 306 miles long, while from north to sooth it it 188 mile, b:-nad. It is, how over, the most irrecnlar of all islands. Its deep, aarroWycSitstn, ' fiords, cut it np into a series of peninsnlas, and, notwithstanding that itt length and breadth ara greater than Ireland, its actual area scarcely exceeds 30,000 square miles. At one point it is only fonr milos wide. Physically considered it is one of the most remarkable islands in the world. It is nothing but a nest of volcanoes. It has no stratified rock of any kind, and is a simple mass of once molten matter that had bubbled up out of the tea, and after eoohng off had taken on an Arctic snow cap as if for protection. Nothing can ptmsibly exceed the rugged grandeur of its scenery. Th. clefts in tho enormous beds of once fluid lava are of the most picturesque and startling description. Its rivers ara formed from th melting snows of the mountains and are very numerous and beautiful. Their wa terfalls seem to keep the air in one con tinuous hum of dashing, spray. The whole interior it but one vast desert waste, for the most part ao elevated above the sea that tht snows never melt Surrounding this desert, where volcanic, fires from lime to time burst forth in the mitist of boundless frost, thore ia a belt of land overlooking tho sea on which grows in places a vegeta tion of considerable luxuriance. Form erly there wore othor trees, but tht climate has grown colder and the trees have diminished into mere bushes. Flowering plants are, however, abun dant and there it plenty of grass for herds of cattle and flocks of sheep, and. a population of from sixty to seventy thousand find a comfortable snbsistence, partly from their pastoral life, partly from fishing, which, especially on the north sido ol the inland, is abundant and profitable. As for the interior parts of the island there have heon there eighty-six vol canic eruptions some of them tbe most wonderful known in any part of the world since the island was first inhabited. Of these twenty-six have been from Hocla, which is at all times crossed by fissures from which stone and sulphurous vapors aro emitted. Tho last eruption of llecla was in 1845 46. The most destructive of all was that of Skaptur Jokull, in 1793, when not only vast streams of lava desolated the adjacent country, but whole fanns were buried in ashes, clouds 01 w inch wore waited by the winda aa far away as the Shetland Islands. It seems sur prising that such an island should bo peopled ; but the truth is tho inhabi tants seem fond of thoir homes, and cannot be persuaded to quit them. The last proof of thia ia found in the fact that very few of them emigrate to other countnoa. The island itself has a peculiarly interesting history in con nection with the achievements of the old Northmen who fnand there a refuge from tho tyranny of Harold llaariager, King of Norway, who, having con quered tho minor Kings, or jarls, of ivorwny, tureen mem into oiinisunteiii or submission, the former of which alternatives many ol tbcm sccepted, prelcnng freedom in an island bristling with volcunoea to their nntivo homos with tyranny nnd oppression. The first settlers 111 Iceland wero, therefore, thebestpoopleinallNorseland. Many of them were actual kings. Abandon ing their warlike habits they became peaceful and cultivated learning. In time they became tho most learned people of the north of Eumpo, antl tho distinction they then acquired has not yet been lost, although the people have clearly degenerated, instead 01 tno vig orous, hard-hoaded, hard-fisted sons of Vikings and Sea-kings that they wero in olden times, they are now rather a puny, indolent race, without thinking much of improvement or of onergy. They have, intleod, become diminutive in stature and dwarfed in intellect since the days of Eric with tho Jied Hand, who discovered Ureenlnntl, and of Snorro, who wrote the Edtlii. They care littlo for luxuries, since they seek for nothing beyond what nature yields. "Having loot! anil rai ment, let us bo therewith content." Yet lor all their peaceful disposition, they once had a religions war. Their Iteptiblicnn government was fonnded in 874, under the old religion of Odin, who taught that "to ntlo a horse and cast a siear and bond a bow" was the cbict end and aim ol man. I hnstiani- ty was introduced, and the cross took the place of the trot Is Thor and Odin in the year 1,000, but there was no particular hostility manifested until tho time of the Keformation, in tho six teenth eentnry. Then, as was the cus tom elsewhere, catholics ana rroies tants killed each other promiscuously and in all possible ways. The Protes tants in the end triumphed, and the prevailing religion has since that Lecn the Slate religion of Denmark. Even now the Catholic mission at Koykiavik docs not flourish, bocanso places of public worship are prohi'iltea unless they aro of the established religion. It was in 1261 that the sovereignty of tho republic passed over to llakon, then the king of k'orway. It was done through Marhury, and ncvor since has Iceland been entirely ireo nnui now, when King Christian IX, gives the people ajreo constitution. Tho Nor wegian crown being annexed 10 vnai of Denmark by tho Calmor union, lco land becamo Danish and was much fleeced bv the Crown up to 1770. Tho trado with Enirlinh merchants was, howovcr. durins parti of this period quite extensive. They brought cloth ing and bread and took, away uncu fish In later days tho island has not been without certain political convulsion!. A pirate named Gilpin stole all their money in 1808, and one Jorgentin set tip rebellion there against the estab lished authority of tho King and his ono policeman, captured the island, Is- sned proclamations, and did not desist 111 hit reDeiuotja purposes nniu a one ith man-of.war earns and carried him off. Ho fiiurca largely In modom Ice landic history as a patriot of the first water, lit would rroe icoiana 01 vue Danish Crown anil proclaim himself pro- tcctor of Ioeland and Commander-in-chief by tea and land, eve assuming the nowor to "make war and conclude peact) with foreign potentatea" until a fair constitution wa established by th lEPtlBL people. Fortunately, perhaps, for this same people, this Belt-sacrificing dicta tor did not succeed in his designs, for, now, they would havo a free constitu tion without any fighting and without any dictator. They have free trade, anil if they are not growing absolutely rich, they aro at least happy and onvy nobody else. I havo seen no Iceland er who ever cared to leave his own eonntry, nor one who, having left it. did not wish as soon as possuxe to got back. ' NEWL T DISCO VERED NA TION. The campaign of Gen. Crook against the Apaches, Just year, opened to re search a tract of land, 200 miles square, which is rich in relict ol our country s nknown post It contains a chain of ancient oittet in ruins and a coturie of anoient towns stHl inhabited by a rao ,1 ?. ....

We are indebted to Capt W.. C. Maiming, of th rogulaf army, for the fuels in our possotoiion concerning the newly-discovered race, ('apt Manning, who was with Gen. Cook during the whole cainmign, and wot recomeiided for promotion by tho latter on account of gallantry in tho Hold, explored in the intervale of fight ing. Ho visited the inhabited towns, talked with thoir rulers, and informed himself concerning their customs. The largest settlement is in Atoxico, about 30 miles touth of the bordor lino. It is a tyie of tho rest A strong wall surrounds it Within are bouse, for about 4,000 people. Tho population has dwindled, however, to about 1,800. The place was mentioned by a Spanish Jesuit who published, in laz'J, a de scription of his wanderings in America. About 1535, anothor Jesuit wrote a minute account of it This account is trno, in nearly every detail, to-day. Tho language resembles the Chinese. So an nrdont archaeologist w'ho visited tbe city a your ago, says : Somo of the minor customs correspond to those of the Chinese. The women aro of tho Celestial typo almond eyes, protuber ant bodies, little feet otc They dress their bair and themselves in Chinese fashion. Their religion is barbarously magnificent Montoxuma is their dioty. His coming is looked for at sunrise each day. Immortality is part of their creed. Tho priests havo heavily em broidered robes which have been nsed for unnumbered years. Tho ceremo nies of worship arc formal and pomp ous. The morality of this strange people, as far at least aa foreigners are concerned, ia irreproachable. It is probable that they keep a record of events by meant ot tying peculiar knots in long cords. This, if true, seems to establish some' kinship or re mote acquaintanceship between them antl the Axtccs. Thoir government is a conservative republic. Powor is vest ed in a council ot thirteen caciques. Six of them are selected for life. Old men are chosen in order that their terms of ofllco may not bo oniinutely long. The remaining seven are elected front time to time. One of them is the executive. Another is a sort of Vice- President There is a War-Chief, a Chief of Police, etc. These seven ca ciques aro usually young men. They serve but a few months. Suffrage is universal. It is scarcely necessary to supplement theso facts with th state ment that these dwellers in towns are qnito advanced in civilization. On this point one tact speaks volumes, yi oman is not a beast of burden among them, as sho it with all Indian tribes. She is held in high respect. Her tasks aro confined to those of housekeeping.

How to get parents to lay asido their prejudices against sons learning useful t ratios, is a matter t hat interests many philanthrop ic minds. Thoro aro ideas, too, among the youths, which seem to como by in heritance, that it is not genteel to bo- come a mechanic. It will be admitted hy all conscientious educated philoso phers that "children know not what they want," and that often full grown men and women stagger to find fro just aa littlo after true objects and de- servo chiding and should bo governed with birch rods as well. It Is an error for parents to imagino that wealth or any material possession will stand in lieu of a trade. Wealth, the fkvor of tho grout, tho love of the few, the good will of many are fluctnnting posses sions; we cannot hold them fust and they escaie from us in various and odd ways. t ithout a trade tho young man, no matter what hit conditnn In life, is ever in an element of insecurity, and if not possessed of moans, there is an environment of cirenmstancet which harass him with nnsattalicd desires, and with no brighter prospects he musx urag out a moat languitt, stunt- less existence; and thus tho neglect to teach a trade may induce them to foci more pangs than nature intendetl. Thoro can bo nothing ao depressing to generous minds as a feeling of depend ence, rinch dependence may Isstto in lissipation. larceny, and even culmin ate in tho desperate idea which caused the self destruction of Emperor Otho, who felt that he was no nso to himself or anybody else, and that feeling led him to recur to the thought that life might ho cost aside with pleasure. Parents who spend so much time in impressing their children with tho idea that "lalHir is a curse," very frequently fail altogether in persuading them that "honesty ia tho best policy." Tho criminal lists aro thus augmented Thore was a saving among tho Jewish doctors that "tho lather who neglocts to teach hit ton a trade bring hint op to steal," th verity of which has been demonstrated in a sad way to many parents. They bavo begun to como. A Lntl low (Vt.) boy says he recently killod a ttriped tnak, 10 inches in length, hich had VI amail snattos insttie 11, each about two or throe inches in length.

Probably no ono over fully estimates how many of tho disappointments, vexa tions anil failures of life are duo to. lite habit of shrinking from nnpjeastint du ties. : It is not a glaring, conspicuous fanlt which at once draws the condem nation of every good porson and bears tho impress of its own folly ; it is a secret Inslduous, subtle ovll, that sheds silently, but surely, it poisonous Influ ence all throngh the life of bim who harbors it The forma it takes are numerous, tho mothods of its operatiou are various, the motives it uses to hide it trne nature are countless. Selfish nrnaa may blind one to the perception of his obligations, or a character hard ened bv crime may openly defy and disowt thom j but this practice of shrinking from duty, hecauso it is disa greeable, is of an utterly different char acter from either. It is ofton associ ated with clear intelligence, good in tentions, sensibility, refinement, and an aniiahlo disposition. There may lie a distinct perception of what is right, and a sincere resolve to fulfill it, and yet, as the imagination dwell, on the possi ble contingencies, and spreads before tbe mind in exagoratod colors the diffi culties, embarrassments, dangers or an noyances that may attond it, it is at first procrastinated and finally relin quished, not with any distinct resolu tion, but rather with a feeble relaxing of tho will power, and drifting with tho tide of present inclination. Perhaps there is not ono who is wholly free from this defect though the ways in which It shows itself aro to varied that it often escapes recogni tion. More than any other fault does it hide itself, evoti from our own con scioiiBness. When wo avoid a duty, or break a promise or defer an obligation, a hundred excellent reasons instantly occur to us to plead in justification ; but which or ua will say, ovon to himaeit, "I ought to havo dono it I could have done it, but it was nnplcasant, there fore I ncglectod it?" Vot probably Dine timet out of ton thia is the true cause of such dirolictions. It is just this secret and insiduous quality that cnne.es thit defoet to spread rapidly and chocks all effort to exterminate it. When any fault it broaght to tho light and openly acknowledged, tho first stop has been tnken to care it Hut when we carelnliy conceal 11 irom v lew, and even rofuso to look npon H our selves, it will take root in our charac ter and develop in our lives. This drifting away from what is disa greeable is fatal to success wherever it may lurk. Jiothing worthy ot accom plishment can b performed without trials, annoyances and perplexities. If we have not force of will enough to go through them, if we havo not patience to bear them, or courago to overcome them, failure is inevitable. The suc cessful man of business is he whoflinches not under the daily vexations and irk some, duties that lull to his lot He has clearness of mind to discern, and force of will to pursue the straight path to success, and knows that the truo economy 01 power consist in mo rvcnlftr pcformance of each duty in its appointed time, whether pleasant or uiaagrocuuie. a luvn-unu. 01 luiovi.j, it I I. t I I ..." tUin whoso business arrangements, tnotign large and complicated, were noted lor mcir cuim rvguiuni , eiw wi.-v cnn how he contrived to prevent all confu sion, and to bavo his own time o free from interruption.

' The facts stated in the following let ter were coiuiniinicated to the Paris correspondent of the London yitr by tho nephew of Marshal Haguine : Mmo. niutinne who, let ourTleds say whut they like, will hnve a place in history as one of the most plucky of bur sex is within three months of becom ing a mother. Somo short time ago, being exceedingly anxious as most ladies aro to havo their husband near her during her time of trouble, she asked tho Government to allow hor to take op hor residence, with a view of her confinement, in tbe prison where Baxaine was detained. This was re fused. Not being ablo to gain her point, she then petitioned tho Presi dent of the Republic direct, asking him to commute the sen tone paeeesl upon tho Marshal into one of banishment from Franco. This too was refused. All her reqnesta were treated witb Tin kindnem and incivility, not to say with otTcnsivenoAS and brutality. Madam then put herself in communication with the Marshal's brother and others ol his relatives, and it was determined to effect his escape, and this is how it was dono: Kaaaine, likt all tb other prisoners, waa kept under lock and key, and could in all honor attempt to escape if ho wished to do so. I must tell you that ot lato ine captivity naa become intolerable to tho prisoner. He is a man of very stout make, und one who had always been accustomed to a very great deal of exorcise on horseback. Sinco, in May, 1872, he was mado a prisoner at Versailles until now, he had never been ablo to move save tinder tho oyos of a sentinel, and to walk nndor their novor-euding su pervision so disgusted him that for somo time he gave it up altogether. IJc is now sixty-two years 01 ago and weight at the very least some sixteen stone. To belter that such a man and at his age could slip down a rope over a cliff that it nearly forty feot high is an astonishing piece of cred ulity even for a French journalist The Marshal walked out of the door of his prison a little before daylight on Monday, and yet there waa no ono inside the fort who was privy to his act or who played the traitor to tho Government. The plan was very simple indeed. For some weeks be forehand a disguise had been prepared by Mmo. Bazaine herself. Hit by bit this was brought outside tho fort and hidden, Tho Marshal never slept in his bed that night, but a lay figure was put there to doccivo tho Governor when ho locked up tor tho night Before daybreak, about 4:45 A. M., the gates of the fort were oieiicil as usual, und some of tho gurrison, as it their custom, went beyond the walls. The Crisoncr was dressed In a laborer's louse to hitlo his bulky figure, and carried on his buck a huge sack of rub bish as if he wero going to throw it in the sea. Tho scheme was successful because it was bold and plucky. No otee foe moment oowlel eseovtooe tbe.. cither the prisoner was not under lock and key, or that be wonld dream of walking coolly out ot tho lort. Once outside ho had merely to walk down to w here the lioat was wailing, get in to it, and be rowed to tho steam er whieh hit wife had hired ready to tuke him away. It was a question of time of minutes whether he oould get on board before his absence was discovered, which it would lie sure to b at 6 A.

MKLTINd (IOI.ll AND SILVltl. - The Now York JVmea proacnts the following graphic description of -tho lroecss of melting gold and silver In the Assay Office, In that city : . In the midst of the quick life that pulsates In Wall street, stands an in slit iition which burdly catches the at tention of tho casual passer-by, ami which yet contribute in no small measure to tho grcut activities thaa surgcaroiitid it. 11 is the UuitedStuIca Assuy Ollico. It is hy no means a pro. tending institution.; On the contrary, (he building wherein the gold and sil ver to tho value of millions of dollars are annually melted nnd refined und mudo ready for tho mint, Is of tho very plainest kind, limited in extent, and scarcely adequate for tho purpose to which it is applied.

Hero, overy dny, the process of incit ing and refining goo lorwurd, and the workers herein are forovor toying with millions. ' ' ' ' By the courtesy of the authorities you aro permitted to enter the store room where all tho precious ingots and bars of gold and silver ore kept. They are piled up on all sides 'of you, somo of them black and grimy, not having as yet gone t hrrm gh the Teflnmfnrorfv and others bright and sparking, hav ing been ao purged ot base matter that they have reached a degree of purity presented by 909 parts in 1,000. One of the precious bars, representing a sum of 15.000, is placed in your hands for inspection. Perhaps th contact of so much solid, compact wealth with that ujore intangible affair, jour hon-. . esty, is likely to ne ths destruction of the latter, and ft may be that you meditat an abrupt exit; but if so, the uncertainty of such hasard presents itself to your mind, and assuming an aspect of outward integrity you return tho treasure. Tou then proceed to mak yourself acquainted with the various protfjiaes pursued in th Assay Offios, and lean some facts worth knowing. , Th bullion is received in all forms, gokl dust, ban, jewelry, amalgams.and so forth. The deposits are all made in th weign-room, wnaro they ar duly weighed. Iteceipta are gives to the depositors in this department, and the bullion it then transferred to the de- " posit molting room. Payments are, of course, not made to tbe depositors until the A stayer naa mado His report as to tbe quantity of pure gold in their dejHwits. For deposits of gold pay ments are made cither in gold bars or in coin, according to the option of the depositor. The first thing is to attach a number to each deposit ""d this number follows it through all the stages and processes through which it may puss. It will be obvious that each de bitor's bullion must bo melted sepa rately, nnd for this purpose it it neces sary to bo provided with crucibles of all sixes, as the quantities to be melted vary very considerably. The process of melting is very simple, the bullion being simply placed in cru cibles, which are placed in a furnace at something like a white heat. The liquid gold is then poured into shapes, and tho number with which it starts is subsequently stamped upon it At tine stago tho gold contains, ol course, a largo quantity of base matter. Jow- olry, for instance, which is deposited for melting and refining seldom con tains thirty per cent, of pure gold, this being esteemed in such enso a rathur high average. Tho gold of jewelry is, however, tho least valuable kind de posited. The first thing to be done in the matter of refining the gold it to put it through a process known as granulation. This is carried out in a department distinct from the deposit melting room.- Tho granulation is ef fected ov mixing two-thirds nf silver with one of golif. , - Tho result of this process it that the mixed gold and silver takes the shuie of comparatively small grains or par ticles ; antl tho object of so dividing it it that when for the purpose of purifi cation tho gold is brought into contact with sulphuric acid, a larger surface of tho metal shall be exposed to its ac tion. The gold is now in it granulated form (mixed with two-thirds of silver), but whilo it was necessary to havo this admixture of silver for the purpose of having a large surface of gold brought under the action oi the sulphuric acid, it iB now nccossary to bavo the silver again separated. This is effected in thit way: Tho granulated metal is put into largo iron kettles and it boiled in sulphuric acid. Formerly it was tho custom (0 uso nitric acid, but this was found to lie too expensivo, and betides, it necessitated the use of procelain kettle, which were not so convenient as tho iron ones at present in use. Tho result of boiling the granulated metal in the sulphuric acid is that the silver becomes united with the acid, forming sulphate of silver. It is held in solution, and in this form is carried off through a syphon to tanks in a room dowu ttaira, whore the silver is afterward precipitated. The gold is subsequently subjected to several other baths of sulphuric acid until it is thor oughly separated from tho silver. It it then plaocd in a filler and subjected to tbe action nf warm water. At Ibis stago it simply resemble a muddy de posit, and tins not the slightest metal tic lustre. It is subsequently dried, and hydraulic pressure is brought to bear on it so as to aqneezo tba water out of it thoroughly. It is afterward cast into bars, antl is thoroughly mixed iu the process. When in a liquid stato bone-dust is thrown on tho surface, and this takes up its impurities, which are afterward skimmed off. When tho bars are cast a slice is cut off each end, and theso aro submitted to two aasuyera, who ore not in communication and who re port separately. Their reports, be sides determining the value of tho gold, check each other. The gold is now in a oondltinn lo put Into the market Meanwhile the silver which is held in solution in the sulphuric acid is carried into tanks in which are copper blocks, Their contact with tho sulphuric acid produces sulphato of copper, and th silver it precipitated. In all th pro- cease carried on in th Assay Office, inoro is nothing wastod. Tho manner in which business it dono there is an il lustration of tho proposition that thoro is nothing so mean or insignificant as to lie disregarded by our economy.' A ftey the gold and silver aro refined and collected the process by which these things are effected gives sulphate of copper, and even the sulphurous fumes are enrried into condensers, and aro turned Into milphurio aeid, to bo again itseif for refining. There are four of these condensers, bat lest they should not be sufficient to condense all the fumes another will be added.
