stayed are able to turn a neat sonnet on
occasion, Just rs their ancestors were
wont to pour forth those strange little
poems (visus) which are the despair OF
Interpreters. Strangest of all, this lit
erature has preserved the language al
most untouched by the wearing and va
rying influences of time and foreign in
tercourse. Modern Icelandic has adopt
ed very few Danish and Latin words,
has dropped few old grammatical
forms, aud has introduced some slightly
different modes of construction. But
for all essential purposes, it is the Ice
landic of the twelfth century.
Some of the people had just heard
of the fall of Louis Napoleon two years
before but not n question was put as
to the war or its results on France, and
when one volunteered remarks they ex.
cited no interest. Once or twice | was
asked whether London was not large
town, and il ! had seen while in Amer
ica the Icelandic colony Mt Milwaukee,
but here curiosity about foreign coun-
tries stopped. The fact was that they
did not know enough about the phenom-
ena of the world outside to know what
to ask about it, while as to it's politics
or social or literary movements, they
felt that nothing that happened there
would or could make any difference to
them. To them at least what the French
call the solidarity of the peoples" has
not any meaning or application, NO
political revolution, no ascendancy OF
democracy or imperialism, no revival oc
decay of literature or art, no scientitir
invention, will substantially affect their
lives. Steam and the telegraph have
done nothing for them, for there is not
steam- m-enginc or galvanic battery in
the country and though steamboat
visits them six times n year. trade IL
not more brisk than in the old days.
Even those discoveries which seem OF
the most universal utility discoveries
in medicine and surgery, are practically
urcleNa to them, who have but one
doctor
