THE ICEEANDIC MILLENNIUK.

A very remark able solemnity was OBJ
served on Saturday, August 1, in an
isolated but interesting country on the
confines of the Arctic Ocean. It is the
celebration of the millennium of the
first colonization of Iceland, which took
place in the year 874, and it is also the
day on which new and liberal consti-
tuition, granted to it by the King of
Denmark, goes into operation. The Ice
landers are comparatively few in num-
ber, but they are a people noted for
their great intelligence, for enterprise
as navigators, and for having maintained
what may be called pure democracy
for many centuries, despite the efforts
of powerful neighbors to reduce them
to subjection. Whether it was that Ma
ture placed obstacles in the way of ar
mics being sent against them, or that
their country was not well adapted for
military operations, or that their pow
cry was SO great as not to make it an
object to conquer them, the 1celanders
have, through all the vicissitudes of
their history, managed to retain in their
own hands the right of government.
Besides this they have wonderful at
tachment to their dreary and inhospit-
able island. This, however, has not pre-
vented several hundred Icelanders dur
ing the past few years emigrating to the
United States and settling in the North
west, to be followed, no doubt, by many
more of their countrymen.
