rS '■' 7 ‘.-Xcrkw, the IcclnUders were officially declared
?■> \ to be «<Hcnds of the human race” in general,
i ' and therefore to be looked upon as neutrals in,
a]] wwrliko proceedings. Itseemsthat .an at-
S tempt is now likely to be made to iudufce them
; • to liecome friends to tho American race in
particular, huf whether the attempt will meet
with success appears soihcivhat proble
!!>•* matical. Wlmt is certain, however, is
f that "a report on the resourees;of Iceland and
Greenland,” dated INIS, lias been'compiled for
the government Of the United States by Mr,
Beniamin Mill Pierce, and that report appears
to'have been drawn up with the'- express view
■ of throwing light on the subject of a proposed
purchase of those dependencies from Den
mark. Tt.u* very posfdliletlmtDeinnark may care
for them as little as Bussia cared for Alaska.
But in the present case the wishes Of the jieo
ple whose allegiance it is proposed to transfer
seem to deserve to be consulted. According to
' the author of the report, the Icelanders, who
have long been complaining of the way m
which Denmark neglects them, are looking
hopefully forward to a union.with America,
The latter part o'Miis assertion appears to he
about as well-founded as is bis oalculntionthat
the island, which how yields a bare existence
to 70,000 souls, would, under American man
agement, easily support a million; The report
goes on to say that the acquisition or the
island “is a question ofvital magnitude” for
the American nation, but that it is a cpiestion
which can easily be solved, as the island is
geographically “an insular deiiendency of the
Korth American, continent.”
The Icelanders themselves seem to know
nothing of this intended transfer, but it Cigi
scarcely he carried into effect without their
consent being first obtained, If Iceland were
a mere province of Denmark, it might be ar
hitiarily dealt with by the Cabinet of Copom
hagen, but it claims to be considered as. a de
pendency pith a 1 Constitution and laws of its
own. Acoording to this theory the King of
Denmark has very little more right to hand
over Iceland to the United States than the
Emperor of Austria would have to make a
, 3 \ present of Hungary to Bussia.
<jV, \ Having protested vigorously, and without
f interruption; against the right of Denmark to
'W treat Iceland as a mere province, one destitute
of any independent political-\existehce, the
islanders will probably cry out loudly against
the idea that it may be bartered away at will
by the authorities at Copenhagen. What the
Americans would do with the island, if they
purchased it, is not very clear. On the occa
sion of its being taken possession of by an er
ratic English captain, the English Govern-
ment hastened to disclaim any desire to retain
. ’ their ne w acquisition. Perhaps the American
Government may he just as free from any long*
■, • ing after so distant an outpost. It is “a far cry”

American Prisoners in Havana.
The following letter -was sent l>y an Ameri
can citizen, who is now in confinement in
Havana, to the Secretary of State:
National Prison, Havana, May 28, 1800.
—To the Honorable Mr. Hamilton Fish, Secretary
of State of the United States of America: I hope
you will*excuse the liberty X take in address
ing vou, as I claim protection as'a citizen of
the'United States. Although a Cuban by
birth, I swore allegiance to the United States
in the city of New 'York, at. the City
Hail, in • September, 1807. I have been
a trader between here and America in
such goods as are commonly sold here, which
to the best of my beliet is termed commission
business. I arrived here near the close of last
year, and was taken a prisoner on the 15th of
January, 1809, in the town of Guanabacoa, at
which time my evidences of citizenship were
taken from hie. They also took from me my
Freemason’s papers, which I received in the
citv of Brooklyn. After taldng all my papers
thev threw me into a dark, narrow cell, with
the’two men—Leon and Medina—who were
farroted on the 9th of April, and I did not
now but they were going to take me next, as
I was in the same ceil.
While in the cell a guardia civile came in
and told me if, I spoke a word that ho would
shoot me down like a dog. They gave me
three trials. First, they tried me as a rebel,
and sentenced me to the chain-gang for ten
years. After passing sentence on me they
found the charge had not been proven,so they
sent me hack to the cell. Second, they tried
me on account of being a Freemason,and then
sent me back to the cell. Third, they tried me
as a loafer, and they are keeping me here as
sucll.
I have written to Mr. Hall, and also to Mr.
Plumb, informing them of my situation. They
told niv friends that they were attending to
mv cas'e. ■ I have been 130 odd days in prison,
and out of that fifty-five days in close confine
ment. Each time that they took me to the
court-house they had me handcuffed. They
charge me here seventy-dive conts-per day for
room enough to put my bed in to sleep, and
also extra for my board.
I feel you will sympathize with me in my
present trouble, and it there is any favor yon
can possibly shew me it will be the greatest
/ blessing you' can confer upon me in pro
curing my release. 1 remain, your most hum
ble servant, Tiikodokf, (Jaisias. .

CITY BULLETIN.
Dangiciious. —Two or three years ago sev
eral persons were killed outright and others
were crippled for lifo by getting jammed be
tween brick-piles and passenger-cars, on the
public streets. The City Councils, in order to
prevent a recurrence of such deplorable acci
dents, enacted a law providing that bricks
should not be piled within a certain distance
of the railroad tracks. The enforcement of
the law prevented any accident, and the com
munity by this time lias become lulled into se
curity .in consequence. But, in many in
stances, this law is violated, and unless the
proper officers in the Department, of the May
oralty seek to it, some unfortunate creature
will be mangled when least expecting it. In
some.ports of the city large brick plies;'ore
within a few inches of the track, and: should
some unfortunate passenger-in a city railroad
car happen to look out, or put his arm care
lessly out of the window, ho might suddenly
lose liis life or become a cripple.

Velocipede.— Much complaint is made
against, the use of velocipedes on the public
highways in Fail-mount Park, because the ap
pearance of them at such places frighten
horses. About the year 1804 or 1805 the City
Councils enacted a law preventing the use of
velocipedes on the public highways. Any in
telligent member of the Select or Common
Council, of course, can refer directly t,o the
page of the ordinance hook containing the
salutary law.

After an interval of nearly sixteen years (says
the London Daily News) the British Govern
ment finds itself engaged in allot crusade against
the evil of betting. We say tlie government,
because the police prosecutions of which we
read almost daily are not only too numerous,
but extend over too wide an area to be referred
to the discretion of one or two chiefs of police.
For a long time it seemed as though the ex
tension of education and the general progress
of society were likely to abate and finally sup
press the practice of gambling by a gradual and
invigorated constitutional action, working a
cure more thorough than could be hoped for
from the application of external and local
remedies.
Tlie experience of the upper classes appeared
to favor this view. We (lo not hear now of
noblemen staking ,£5,000 on a single card, as
Fox told Croker had been done in- liis day,
iior of losing and winping £70,000 in a single
night. Pitt went in and looked at this kind of
life, and, as Wilberforce attested, displayed in
tense earnestness when joining in the games;
but he perceived their increasing fascination,
and soon abandoned them for ever. Wilber-■
force-himself kept a bank “for one night only,”
and won £OOO, but the pain lie felt at know
ing that much of this money was lost
by those who could not pay without serious in
convenience, cured him of tlie taste for play.
Practical worldly sense in one character, aiid
kindness of heart in the other, led to the same
resolution. Diuhig the whole of the last.cen
tury gaming of some sort was tlie' ordinary
amusement for both sexes in the best society,
and it was not uncommon to hire a professional
gamester to keep the bank at a private house for
tlie evening. The deepest gaming that had
ever been seen in England took place during
the American war; hut there was. some very
high play at White's and Brooke’s for five years
preceding tlie peace of 1815.
So late as 184:’, there were as many as twenty
public gambling houses and hells in Pall Mali,
Piccadilly, and St. James’s, called into exist
ence by the success of Crockford,wlio had then
retired; but about that time many of them were
suppressed. But long before that date society
had grown out of tlie vice of private gambling,
which fifty years before had been tlie occupa
tion of young and old, in anil out of tlie season,
aiid in town and country. Between gaining
proper and betting as it is practised with refer
ence to horse-racing, the distinction is unessen
tial; in eacli case there is a wager depending
mainly on a chance. For the last twenty years
the increase of race meetings and the increased
circulation of newspapers’* which, for good or
evil, augments every force at work in society,
have enormously stimulated the practice of
betting, imtil it may be said that there is no
place where money can he earned, Kerrowed or
stolen, where horses are not backed.
A Senator in Salt I.nUe City Pleases tlie
Gentiles.
[Salt Lake City Correspondence! Chicago Trilmne.]
Some considerations made a little siieecli of
Senator Howe’s, spokenlast evening in response
to calls from Gentile serenaders, peculiarly
grateful to the feelings of the Gentiles of the
city. No one expected anything so significant,
and I only give a sketch of his remarks from
memory. I shall he satisfied if I convey as
good an Idea of the life and humor of*tlie
speech as a skeleton does of the beauty and
grace of the human form. lie said that this
unexpected call found him in something like
tlie condition of the new boy who, upon being
asked to spell dog, began:
“C—”
“Eh ?” says the teacher. “D—”
“Yes, that’s it. D—A—”
“Tut, tut,” broke in the teacher again.
, “Well,” says tlie boy, “I can’t spell here, I
haven’t got the hang of the house.”
He couldn’t speak here ; lie hadn’t got tlie
bang of the place. Neither was he in quite the
same position as his friend (Seward) who liad
preceded him. He felt more like tlie New
Hampshire Judge caught drunk in Boston,
who didn’t want his friends to hear of it be
cause he had a character to lose. From all lie
heaid and saw, this was as likely a place for
him to lose it as he could find by traveling
.twice as far. Another difficulty that con
fronted him was what he heard of the faith of,
the Latter-Day Saints. He had been
brought up in tlie faith of the early
saints. But as lie knew nothing of the
former, and none too much of tlie latter, he
couldn't well venture to discourse on the sub
ject of faith. Again, it was said some gentle
men in the town had more than one wife.
[“Ob, no; it’s somewhere else;” “They’re only
women,” &e., from the crowd.] lie didn’t
know but lie was a little weak ou that, point,
lie liad lived with one wife thirty years, and
had sometimes thought that if lie should meet
■'others just like her lie should go for them.
But there weren’t any like her; not one. lie
(believed in one faith, one “wile, and (hie bap
tism—didn't know as lie quoted correctly, but
it would answer liis purpose. There was one
thing, however, said the Senator, growing seri
ous—and he pointed over the crowd to tlie
Seventh Infantry band dressed in full uniform,
their instruments glistening in the light of the
lanterns—there was one thing he knew all
about. That was the colors worn by the gen
tlemen who had given them so delightful a mu
sical treat. Wherever he saw them he under
stood that he was under tlie protection of Ame
rican law. Not that it was their duty to make,
to interpret or -to execute that law ; it was
tlieirs simply to . remove . oppositioif, to make
