ICELAND'S MILLENNIAL. Iceland celebrated her thousandth an niversary on the sixth instant. Several prominent Americans and Englishmen took part in the proceedings. At least we suppose they did for they started but for that purpose. Hie New York Herald considered the event of sufficient importance to send Dr. Isaac Hayes thither in a vessel chartered specially for the occasion, and with him ^ent Bayard Taylor, of the Tribune staff, Mil rat Halstead, of the Commercial, Cyrus W.

The island is celebrated more for its volcanoes than for any other one thing. In fact the whole of it is not much else than an extinct volcano and was heaved up out of the bottom of the ocean bodily. The soil is not very fertile nor the climate the most favorable for agricultural pursuits. Still, by careful cultivation they manage to raise such hardy vegetables as cabbage, turnips, lettuce, spinach, parsley, radishes, cresses flax and a few potatoes, lids is about the extent of Icelandic agriculture. There are good fish all ronnd the shore, however, and abundance of birds and the inhabitants, who are rather a short, squatty sort of people, are not "fiwt" in any respect, depend largely on the air and the sea for their subsistence.

The event posse Mil inoroaeod interest for Americans because the circumstances attending the settlement of tho island were strikingly similar to those which lod to tbe femons landing on Plymouth Rock. Harold, the King of Norway, was one of those warrior tyrants who cannot lie satisfied until everybody around them is subject to their imperious will, Finding Norway an unpleasant home on this account, in tbe year #74 some of the braver spirits betook themselves to the sea and wont over to Iceland where they proceeded to lay the foundations of a Republican government. That was ten long centuries ago, six hundred years before America was discovered, and while food King Alfred wis making his merry England so moral and upright that he could hang jewels on the trees by the roadside and no one would take them.
