In whichever direc tion I looked, I saw eyes tlllod with teara. Tho repetition of the refrain ; .Island* Ihutttnd qr—“Ioolaud’s thoue* and yours,” rang through tho cathedral in tones which woro solemn rather than proud, and gave expression to tho oar- no! t, religious spirit in which tho peo ple havo oomo together. At tho University building a laokey in Hoarlot oont took our lmta and inautleH, and directed us to tho waiting-room up stairH. A number of teolnnaors from tho country wore allowed to go up and down, to peep into tho diuing-lmUs, iuspoot tho musioianH and their In- Htrumonts, and otliorwiso indulge thoir curiosity. It, must havo boon an extra ordinary sight to most of thorn. The royal pantrios, extemporized out of the recitation rooms, seemed to attraot, them especially, and even tho empty dish had ith interoBt, for them uutil t he viands began to appear. B.v twoB and threes and itflif dozens tho guests gathered. Exoept, tho Icelanders, tho Danish poet Carl Anderson and ourselvos, all were in civil, military or naval uniform.

There was no more than was necessary for politeness on oitho side. Not,king was done, of course, until the king's arrival. Then, in filing a salute with hand gronadoH, two gunners woro badly wounded, ouo losing bis rig,lit, hand. Finally, when tho royal progress had boon made through lines of eagerly sLaring and embarrassed na tives. tho singing began. In Iceland nothing in done without singing, nml it is tho most altrnotive part of tlio oolo- fob A Retiring Yetornn. A rumor oomes from England that tlio dnko of Cambridge in about to tiro from the command of tho British army. Ho lias fallen a victim to gout, ami for throo months has boon unable to tako any exerciss. George William Frederick Charles, second dnko of Cambridge, is tho grandson of Ooorgo Fir. and a cousin of Qnoen Viotoria. ITo was born in Hanover in 1819. At tho ago of eighteen ho wus appointed a colonel in the British army, and eight years aftor was promoted to tho rank of major goucral. In 1850 ho stieccceded his father as duke of Cambridge ; in 1854 ho was made a lieutenant general and in 1850 ho was made a goucral. He commanded the first division of the army sent to tho Crimea, and led his troops at tho battle of the Alma and at, Inkerman, in which latter engagement he had a horso shot, under him. Tn July, 1850, ho wan appointed oom- raander-in-ehiof of the British army, und in 1862 ho was created ft field marshal. The duke has been a fast liver, while he has been a good soldier, and now ul tho ago of only fifty-fivo it scorns he is compelled to retire from active service. For many years ho has been living with n Miss Fairbrothor, who was an actress, and, in her youth, quite celebrated for her beauty. The relationship has been known to the public for so long a time that Miss Fairbrotker is generally re garded as the duke's wife, though no marriage has ever taken place, and she does not reside in his official residence. They have a number of children, who go by the father’s name of Fitz-Georgo, and some of tho sons aro officers of the army. Borne of tho queen’s sons have ! been considered a little loose in their morals, but with snch an example sot before them by tho oldest member of the family, it is not Hnnrnsing that tho moral teachings of their mother should have been sometimes forgotten. as they ran up to peak and yard and down to tlio water, was something lly glorious to behold. On shore re woro signs of gathering and pro paration, and tunny a line of moving spooks on tho far hills showed that the oountry people were betimes way. The programmo of tho day eonnisted if coinmomorativo services jn tho oatho lral, ii banquet jn tho hall of thn uni versity, and a popular festival on tlio hill of Asturvolli, a mile from tho town. Tlio last feature promised to bo the most attraotive, since, after songs and HpooohoB, thoro wore to bo danoing nnd Jhifjr.ldrar inyktir—“ grent flying tires.” The new constitution, whioh went into force yesterday, has not boon announced with liny special oermnonios. Oopi< it have already reached Iceland, tho people were very generally acquainted witli tho provisions, and content to no- oopt it as tho beginning of n reform. Tho oolebratious hero to-day, and on Friday next at Thingvallu, havo there fore a historical rather than a political character. Hix o’olook, and tho people’s fostival had commenced on tho eastern hill. Wo went nsbore at 10:80 o’olook, and found everything hastening toward tho onthedral. The open, grassy squnro around the old building was covered with pioturesquo groups of people; the lake in the rear of tbo town glit tered in tho sun, and tbo high pnnks of Koylur slept in tho blue distanco. Genuine Ioolandio costumos appeared at last, snd original and graceful they were. Tho women wore white hoi mots of a eurions pattern, tho horn ourving over in front, six inches above tho head, the baso richly ombre idcred with gold, nnd a white vei^ thrown ovor nil ami floating upon the shouldors. They had also closely-fitting jackets of darknloth, heavily bruidod with gold or silver, and broad belts of silver filigree work. Not more than half a dozen of tlio men, in all, wore tho old uutional costume. It cousistfv of a jacket and knee brooches of dark gray homespun cloth, stockings of tho samo cloth, soul skin shoos, sod a round hat with the brim turned up. The only ornament is u bow of red ribbon at the knee. Thn king and his cortege had just en tered tho cathedral as wo reached it, and the foreign naval officers who had been invited to tho ceremony were crowding with tho natives into the low northern portal. Wo had been furnish- d with slips of parchment as admission tickets to seats in the main aisle, and tho sacristan placed us in front, oppo site tho bishop s pnlpit. Tlio choir was singing ouo of ten new anthems com posed for tho occasion; lights were burning in tho dli an deli era,"on the altar and between tho galley-pillars; wrenths of heather decorated the walls, choir nnd galleries, nnd thoro was a glow of flowers around Thorwaldsen’s baptis mal font. Tho dull rodot tho walls and dark panes of tho wooden ceiling har monized woll with those simple adorn ments; the building woro os aspect of obeorful solemnity, becoming the occa sion. The seats filled rapidly during the chant, men and women sitting to gether as they conld find places. Then tho service commenced, after Ancient Lutheran fashion. In foot it was nearly an exact repetition of that we had seen in Thcrshaven, except that theloelandio language was used. The hymns were vory simply nnd grandly sung; and tho “Psalm of Praise,” written by Matthias Jochnmnson and composed by Svein- bjorusson—tho first musical work of/a lowed by speeches from the rostrum, ohiofly greetings to tho people, winding up with soutimonts and cheers. Admi ral Lugorornutz spoke for Hwodeu, Rolf- son, tho author, for Norway (and his eloquence awoke a real enthusiasm), and then various others followed, tho admirablo male ohoir of Kejkiavilc in terrupting the spocohos with national songs. Boon afterwards tho dances bogan ; but as tbo national dance—if thoro ever was any -is now lost, nnd waltz, polk and qmidrillft provail horo asolsewhoro, there was uothiug pioturesquo in tlio speotaolo. Our llojkiavik acquaintan ces woro all thoro, and tho hulios, es pecially, wore very lively and oommu- niontivo; only tho sharp wind from Greenland’s icy mountains, which blow without ooasing, ohillod our very mar row. Boforo tho “ groat flying fires ” were lot oil’, we found it prudent to re turn to the landing place and signal our steamer’s boat. Tlio New King of tho Turf. Not having soon tho great rnco, tho CATTLE TRADE OF THE WEST. rti« Increased Tran*|»nrtat Inn ot Tram* Mississippi stork. A largo proportion of tho cuttle from Texas are drivou westward into tho ter ritories. Thoro thoy fatten for tho mar ket, and provide boof for the growiug oitioH and towns, mining regions, and military posts. It is thought that the otitiro drive from Texas this year into Kansas will uumbor ovor 600,060 head. Perhaps one-fourth ot thoHo go into Colorado nnd Wyoming nnd westward to Utah, while most of tho hulanoo seek the eastern market. At this season of tlio year ono will bo Btruok with tho ap- poaranoe of the numerous nnd lino- looking herds grazing along tho Arkau- vnlloy from Wiohita as far west as Sargent, and thouce scattered at inter vals to tho foot of tlio mountains.' As a samplo of tho size of these herds I might mention that a list of forty-three herds in tlio vicinity showed a totsl of 52,908 head of cattle. While it is olaim- od that tho drive to Wiohita this year will not exceed 160,000 head, not much ono-half what it was last year, some of tho othor towns ou tho lino of tho railroad having been found more accessible for shipment, yet it is uotioo- ablo that tho quality of the stock is ap parently much bettor than that of form- seasons. The further the Hooks get westward ie greater thoir tondonoy to inoronHo in size. lu tho vicinity of Hugo,-on the Kansas Paoifio, about 100 miles beyond t he custom borders of Kansas, some of Uio old pluiusimm have formed a stook company, autl control from 20,000 to 80,000 head. Thoro aro huge herds also r Ellsworth mid Bunker Hill. Down .in tho Arkansas, near Fort Lynn, the children of Kit Oarson and one or two of his old omnradoH own hords of from 1,000 to 5,000 head. On the Laramie plains, northward, Oroighton Co. have a herd of 15,000 oattle; .1. W. IlifT, 12,000; E. Oroighton, 51,000; Taylor, Gaylord & Co., 5,000. There are over twenty herds, numbering from 1,000 to 5,000 each. In the parks of Colorado extensive Hooka will also ho found. Throughout tho middle nud southeast er'll portions of Kansas a large amount of stook iH now being drivou eastward, the oattle being allowed to grnzo along the way. The drovers will soon be hurrying forward thoir hords, hownvor, for Iced is short, and it will oost too muoh to winter whole in Kansas, owing to the short corn crop. Where last winter there were thousands of cattle scattorod throughout Kansas, and the winter hoforo still greater numbers, to fatten on tho surplus grain, this year t-hero will be vory fow. Tho full oorn- oribs of Missouri and Illinois tempt the drovor that way, and in the spring he will be nearer tlio great mnrketa. Thoro are various OMtimatus of the numbers that havo boon wintered in Kansas in formor seasons, hut the range is from 100.000 to 175,000. You will, at this time of tho year, see the Colorado speculators prying thoir way into the broad pastures or by-ways of Kansas and Nebraska, buying np hero a fow and thoro a few in nn appa rontly indilToront way, as if tho cattle weri) hardly worth thoir onro ; getting thorn at low-down priooB, and finally arching with a great, herd hack toward the mountains to donblo and quadruple their purehases. Just now stock at some points rules fabulously low. You nnn pick ont Texan heifers from a herd at $6 to por head, oows at 810, and sheep at sixty omits. Boef cuttle havo boon sold at Wuohitu at live omits per pound on foot. Tho KunBns city market hue for tho past two or three years hold a controll ing position with regard to the Texas oattlo trade. This is a groat distribut ing point, and stook men seek it from Illinois, Mistouri, Iowa nud Indiauo, making it during the season thoir point for selecting and shipping stook into their sovoral states to feed, or to tho Chioago nud Bt. Louis markots for boof. Thoro are extonsivo yards into whioh tho various railroads run, uud good on* next thing was to boo tho victorious portunities for shipment.

European pedestrians aro remarkable not so much for their rapid walk, ns for their powers of ondurance, It is truo that tLey aro not trained for that spe cial purpose—in fact, they are not pro fessional men at all, and havo no other training than thoir habit of walking of ten to attend to thoir ordinary business, Thus, lately there arrived in Paris a pennant from tho Bpnnisli sido of tho PyraneoH,who had walked nearly 1000 miles in a very short time, and not knowing a single word of Fronch. Moro recently, a Dutch gentleman, H. Dudook do Witt, who had already spent some years in visiting, stick in hand, tho two Americas, Japan, China; and Cochin China, 1ms also arrived in Paris, after having walked in nine days, tho 405 miles whioh iutervono between Am sterdam and tho capital of Franco. There ho has become acquainted with Ortoig tho Catalan peasant, and both of them will soon start to undertake a walking trip of three months’duration, from Paris to Russia, and then through out Russia itself. ing iutoroHt has also sprung nn diroot connection with Texas has lately linon obtuinod, and tho business of for- wnrding stook dirootly from their native pastures to this point has boon under taken to Home extent. But this experi ment bus already, it is cluimod, proved unsatisfactory. Tho cattlo rarely attain a good marketable condition in Toxns, and when thoy do, rail transitover snob long distances reduces them to a condi tion unfit for market when they roach horo. As tho production of cattlo is one of tho main interests of tlio groat state of Toxas, whoso herds aro counted by millions, its pastures will doubtless for years continue to furnish tho west with boof. Tho oattlo will bo driven as formerly across tho plains, fattening as thoy go, and ronohing tho railroads by tho trnilH whioh for months hnVoboon alive with the “long horn/'j” and taken to Kansas city for distribution into tho various states. The supples whioh the different markets require, and the pro portion going into the various state-H, may he ouloulated from tho following figures, whioh show tho shipments of oattlo eastward from'Knnsns City duriug last year: Hannibal and Ht. .loo rail road, 73,f)58; Bt. Louis, Kansas City and N. railroad, 82,674; Missouri Pacific railroad, 16,142; drivon out, 45,441. Hhipmonts woro also mado by various other roads, showing a total of 227,686 lioad. Tlioso via tho Hannibal and Bt. Joe road went to tho Chicago market; by tho other railroads to tlio Bt. Louis market; while those drivon out wofe distributed to u largo oxtont to feed throughout Missouri and Illinois. Power of Roaring Heat. It is generally supposed that tho hu man frame cannot endure much heat, and if exposed to it will Boon sink in exhaustion. This is truo in hot climates, to which people have been accustomed. But in this amt) tho effect may bo duo to influences from vogotation, or to somo disturbance of nature. It is certain that artificial boat, far greater than the boat of the sun of tho torrid zone, may bo borro without special suffering or harm. Tho British Journal of Science says that men in iron establishments work without in- convonienoo with tho thermomotor con stantly at 120 degrees, end in pits for making tho Bessemer stool at 140 de grees. In Turkish baths tho sham- pooners urn often busily engaged for four or live hours in buooobbiou, with tho tomporaturo at 110 degreoB. Tn tho Bod Ben stoamors the Btoko hole mnrlcH 145 degrees; and in ensmol works tho operators aro oompolloil daily to ondnro a lioati of 200 degrees. Tho olastio pow er of tho human body in accommodating itoolf to oxtromos is wonderful. FROM WASHINGTON. l’rncluntntlnn of /Vttorncy-Uniiornl i\ll- IIimiih Letter from I’rmldrnt Urnnt.

IK JJellcnap, Soarolavn of War: Tho re cent troubles in tho south, purtioularly in Louisiana, Alabama and Bonth Caro lina, show disregard for law, oivil righto and personal protection that ought not to bo tolerated in any civilized govern ment.

U. B. Git ant. Railroads and Panics. Mr. Thomas Tooks, in his “ History of Prices,” attributes tho rooont punio in this oountry to tho fact that too much of our floatiug capital had been convert ed into fixed oapital in riilrond enter prises, and asserts that this was tho oaiiso of tho fbmnoial crisis in England in 18-17. England recovered rapidly from tho shock, and tho Unitod Btutos, lie predicts, will soon do tho samo thing, Tho Railway Monitor divides tho rail road dovolopmonfc in this oountry into throo stages, and shows that Mr. Tookfl* theory holds. The first period, botwoon 1829 nud 1849, but 7,305 miles of rail road wore built; evouthisslow progress was too much for tin' financial strength of tho oountry, and tho railroud pro jectors were ruined. Then the simulta neous How of gold from California and Australia infused fresh strongth into the civilized world, end at tlio end of the next poriod, in 1859, tho railroad mile age was 28,789 miles. The third period, which closed in 1873, found a total of 71,565 milcfl of railroad, and tho strougth of tho country is again ax- hanstod. Tho present conditions differ from those of tho first poriod. Then wo had tho lifo-giviug flow from the gold mines; now wo aro struggling against tho perilous excitement of pa- por-monoy inflation. Tho Monitor con cludes that for many years tp como tho extension of our railroad system ranet stop. In tho hurry of speculation the work has boeu poorly done, and tho re sources of tho oountry must bo expended in bettering what wo have ins'.oad of adding to it. This advioo is sound, and probably indicates tho railroad pol icy of the country for somo timo to oome, for tho roanon that it is about tho only policy left, Bayard Tayloi» writes from Iceland that ho offered an Icelander a pieoo of money for some small sorvioo and the man laughed and ran away I It is then in thia remote laud that tho hotel oer- vant of the future is to bo Bought. What a paradise a watering-place would bo .whoso servants laughed at tho offer of a gratuity.But they must be taught not to run away. atlil
