Bivsjavix, Iceland, October 2.—[Special Correspondence.]—Verltb thejer ailer—May yon be blessed. "That Is the meaning ol those lamlltar words Which men repeat at parting in the street." And in one form or another are erer upon the lips ol the Icelander. Upon entering or loov- lng a store or house, parting with a friend, or meeting an entire stranger on the road, this sentiment Is always expressed. The national salutation is a kiss all round,friends and atran- gen alike, and In the country the custom is still followed, but like many other time-hon. ored practices handed down from the days when Iceland, in seTeral and great respects, was leading the world, this habit Is last disap pearing at the capital. It Is the rule of the road never to pass a person without a salutation, and in travelling one eees many affectionate greetings between the people, who, although very cordial to foreigners, have ceased, within the last few S ean, to extend their demonstrations toward lorn beyond the proffer ot the snuff horn or brandy bottle, or perhaps a piece of rock can dy or a lew rsiiins they may have in the re cesses ol their pockets. To see herny-viaaged men, often without dismounting from their ponies, earneetly em brace and kiss ono another as affectionately as two parrequetts, strikes the stranger sa decidedly Icelandic i especially when, as in almost every csss their npper lips are crossed by two very prominent dark streaks, the result of the frequent use of annff. After bussing each other in good round style, one of them pro duces a small horn, from which he empties at least a spoontnl into his own large nostrils, and then pause it round; generally following it up with a small keg unstrapped from be hind the saddle, or a bottle brought forth from the depths of an old stocking. Ow- lug to the isolated lives they lead, the country people Improve every opportunity to chat with those they meet^nd after sometime spent In the exchange of news and friendship’s little commodities, they again embraoe, catch their ponies, who have been allowed to stray, and once more take the road. The writings of the few travelers who have visited this country, give us a very high opin ion of its people, and in many respects rightly; but a stay ol a lew weeks is enough to convince one that there are phases of life In toeland not always described. Most travelers do not re main long enough to modify the often over high opinion or the people which ono forms upon s visit here, or better, perhaps, which he brings with him. Neither is a residence in Reykjavik, with tho usual short trip to Thingvalla, the geysers, and Hekla, accom chants, government officers ana a few farmers and others, constitute a higher stratum, and their dims and habits are like our own, but by far the larger part ol the population of the lelsnd, and that to which I refer, are the common farmers and the middle and lower lile in all these northern countries during the tenth and eleventh centuries. But the visitor meets with none of that fine, actlvo—barbarlo it you will—life which Is so grandly described in the old sagas, and although gradually changing for tho bet- - tsr, v«ry premia tit Matures of oxiatoncohero are fastness, a decided predilection for brandy and snuff and an utter disregard of personal cleanliness. One can euily seo whero, by an exertion in the line of improvements, the pro duce of their labor would oe greatly increased, but that exertion is rarely made, and tho - people are oontent to do as their fathers have done before, them. The things neadfhl are a lew cnergetio men, backed by moderate capital, to show these people hoar to improve iheir farms, develop the vast wealth ol their fisheries, which is now appropriated by the French and N crwcglans, and to look into the vague ques tion ollhe country's mineral resources. As for the drinking habit. It will be met with everywhere, but hero it is certainly a great and universal obstacle to the advancement ol the people. Every opportunity is improved to get "half seas over," and it is no uncom mon thing to see a farmer hobnobbing with some chance acquaintance, in the shadow of a rock, while his pack-ponlee, loaded with the wares lor which he has bartered hla year's produce, are scattered far along or straying from the road, and hit riding-pony stands sleepily by, apparently understanding the situation. The Icelanders i re seldom ugly or quarrelsome, nor can their time be reckoned as valuable, but the fact that not the least proportion of their scanty produce goes for d rink and that they often lose in other ways through this habit, would, under, other circumstances, condemn the custom upon grounds ol economy and thrift. The I. 0. 0. T. however Is meeting with a fair reception, and although hardly a year since its introduction from Norway, there are already about a dosen flourishing lodges on the island- The one here, established three months ago, hu a membership of nearly ons hundred and fifty, or noi quite one.twentioth ot the population. Most of these are young men "work- young i__ log for Ue good ot their country," and they havo already reclaimed from a pret ty low state one of the smartest members of the althlng or national congress, a man of whom it is said, “Were be a Briton he would lead pirllameni.’’ Tho ability of the average Icelander to ap propriate snuff is rarely equaled. Somewhere 1 have read ol a Queen Charlotte; who, lu ac cordance with the grace with which she did ell things, and lot which she was greatly envied by tbe ladies ol hor court, was in the habit of laying a train ol snuff down the whole length of her white satin sleeve, and then with one sweep of her queenly noee, she would secure every partiele. A lew of these people ompiy a small mountain ol tho powder upon the back of tbe hand and transfer it to the note, but the way is to apply of the horn, and "a long pull and a strong e ili,” obtain the desired quantity, of course eating the other nostril In tbe same way. It is needless tossytbat they enjoy the oper ation atd that the removal ot external traces is considered entirely unnecessary. In per sonal aid household habile, these people are emphatically not cleen, and culinary ur VJ .i- neas, together with entomological dleoomrort* are not the least inconveniences of Icelandic travel. As regirds wearing apparel, many of the people stem to have adopted thepriuciplo ef the man who, every Saturday night, flung hit seeks against the wall. If they stuck they were washed, otherwise they were good lor another week. In the towns, too, one every day tees practices that In almost any other country would cause the offenders to be fined at the hands of the law. But in re garding all this, great allowance must be made lor the isolation ol thalr country, and causes resulting from no fruit ol their own play an important part in the prseent condition of the people. The drees worn bare Ie, In tbe case ot the women, characteristic. The men wear home made suits of wadmal or home spun, generally colored some quiet shade, but cccssionslly made in rag U pea try pattern and displaying all colors of the rainbow. Tbe chose worn by all are low moccasins el nntanned sheep or sealskin, pointed et the toe and lined with an insole of Moth. Excepting the few In the higher class- ss who havo adopted the costume worn by their sex In other countries and designated hero at "Danish dress," the women wear tho rational eoilume; audit fa far from nnnn- plcaslng one, especially that worn os gala days and aomeUmc* OB Sunday. The hair is Plaited in several braids—often lour—the ends ®f which are caught np on top of the head. The headdress Is of white starched cloth, filled oat with paper, and like our liberty cap, carving gracefully upward and forward to a point Where It nata upon tho head It i» encircled by a ailver or gold diadem while the whole cap la covered by a dallcate lace bordered veil which Celle lightly aronnd the shoulders and beck. Tbe black eoruge Ic bordered ell round end at tbe cuffs with about two ' Inches of velvet, richly embroidered with silver or gold, and all seams are covered with very narrow gold bordered vslvet ribbon. Aronnd the bottom ot tho rather frill skirt extends a very wide { attorn—usually If not always a vino—em- roidared in colored silk. Tho bolt la ol highly wrought silver, often very old, with a long pondanfdown tha front of the dross. A white tuff in the neck and a colored, ermine- bordered cape, complete the costume which hu boon worn for centuries and of which the people ere reuonebly proud. 01 the com- men dreu, the tightly fitting bodies Is ' bordered with velvet end ends In e kind o( ruff et the waist. It !a fast ened rather low in the neek end et tbe waist, but opens down the front, exposing a neatly worksd starched bosom or white. Tbe skirt it perfectly plain bnt usually brightened by a large ailken apron, sometimes of beoutflul texture end color. A bright colored tie ex tendi around the neck, end is caught in a coquellih bow upon tho brout. Tho cap, which is worn at all times and with no other covering whan out of doors, Is always blaok. It consists of a small, round disc ol knitted work which it pinned tight to the heed, from tbe center of tbie extends e projection like the finger of e glove, several Inches in length, and where it joins tho tassel this it encircled by a silver tnbe about two inehea long. The tassel Ik made of tewing silk, quite heavy end ex- tends e little below the shoulder, lowing jauntily about with every motion of tho head. Now ladies, how's that for a manf And the first attempt, loot I think I tee you smile, but I shell fry end do bettor next time. The frees of tho mtldens ot this country ere open and frank; very often pleating and as rarely bssntlfnl, while tho utter absence of the den tist end tooth brush is frequently apparent in whet would otherwise be en acceptable coun tenance. The Ioelendle word lor pretty It fet legged, or et least that la exutly the way it sonnda (o English ears, and one can hardly pay hit little compliments to the lalr-halrod Gudruntor bright-eyed Thom without tome timidity end always expecting a box cn the ear for hit impudence.
