A xhvORDER.
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.
AN IMMENSE FARM
A writer in the El Paso Jountiilsays:
Sullivant's farm is about 8 milos square
and contains about 44,000 acres, JS um
ber of hands employod about COO;
mules and horse", 1,000: cattle (oxen),
50 ; nnmlier acres in com, 20,000 ; acres
in small grain, 3,000; acres in tame
gram, 3,000 ; mile ol hedge, 300 ; head
of hogs, 1,000; head of cattle., 600;
everything is run in regular military
style, lie can tell what it costs to
route a bushel ol grain on any section
of his farm, also the cost each month
to feed the hands. 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.
A general stock or goods Is Kept, lnim
which-the men am supplied at cost
An elevator of 30,000 bushels capacity
is about ready to receive grain.. 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.

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. '

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

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

LEARNING TRADES.
A irreat ileal of bogus gentility is in
vogue at the present day. 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. Twice 97 is 194, and the
snake of ten inohea that contains 194
inches is worthy of all credit
Two young men out riding wr

UNPLEA SANT D VTIES.
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

THE TRVE STORY OF BA-
ZAINE'S ESCAPE. '
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. M., tho time when he was al
ways visited by ono ot tho prison au
thorities. Tho ropo stuincd with blood
was hung over .tho paract Very lute
tho night before, in order to- put the
authorities on a fulsc scent, nnd most ef
fectually it did so.
Even now the popular belief is that
Bazuino, a heavy unwieldy man, ftbo
for more than two yean bos not taken
enough exercise to maintain him in ordi
nary health, who Is, moreover, sixty
two years of age, was able to scramble
down a height of thirty or more feet

which yet contribute in no small

(he building wherein the gold and sil

are annually melted nnd refined und

plainest kind, limited in extent, and
scarcely adequate for tho purpose to
which it is applied. Hut here is stowed

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. In
