From Iceland the exports of wool last season were 1,310,000 pounds, of which 3G2,0J0 went to Great Britain, the remainder to Copenhagen. Exports of live sheep were 23,000, and of ponies 2500.

A recent visitor to London says that y' in that city long tandem tricycles, capable ot seating eight or inoro passengers, have been introduced, aud one is now being u?ed as a rival to the tram or street cars. The owner of the vehicle occupies the front seat, collects the fares and steers, but the pnsseugora have to pro vide the motive power, and if they don't move thoir feet freely very poor time is made on the journey. Such a moans of locomotion would not prove a success here, but it is said that in Loudon the ' seats are booked and paid for a week in advance.

R.'a Request Is Not Likely to be Granted. Washington, D. C.?At the recent Grand Army enenmpment ia this city an enthusiastic veteran introduced a resolution calling upon tho Secretary of War to hoist au Araericun flag over Fort Sumter iu Charleston harbor. In the excitement of the moment the resolution went through without opposition or investigation. At the War Department to-clay the chief of engineers who has charge of the government fortifications was questioned on the subject. Ho says the secretary of War has not yet complied with the resolution, nor is it likely that he will. The army regulations provide that the Union flag shall be displayed at military posts and fortifications that arc garrisoned or occunifd. Fort Sumter is neither garrisoueu nor occupied, and therefore the Secretary _ol War bas no authority tp fISal a.flair .over it ? ?? is prepared to garrison it with troops. lu further explanation of the nonappearance of a flag nt Fort Sumter and other practically abandoned forts, the cuginccr officers say that serious foreign complications might arise if the rcsolutijn adopted by the G. A. R. encampment were carried out. For instance, if the flag was hoisted over Fort Sumter n foreign warship might visit the harbor of Charleston. In accordance with the naval regulations of the world, the for cign warship wou'd salute the American ?1.,? .....1 -? !_! _ ... unu mix v-Aji.ci u simuur saiuic iu return The foreigner coukl not be expected to know ihut Fort Sumter was unoccupied and was simply floating its country's il:ig as u matter of sentiment. Not having his salute acknowledged, the foreigner would be justified in charging this country with discourtesy, and would have a right to demand an- explanation. The ordnance sergeant stationed there could hardly return n foreign warship's salute with an old musket or revolver which he might have with him in his quaiters for his personal protection. When the Secretary of War refers the resolution to the Chief of Engineers he will probably recciye an answer containing the substance of the foregoing statement. Six Bodies Washed Ashore.
