From The ErOson Zone.

The arrival Of over two hundred Iceland
ders on wednesday evening was most
welcome visitation at this season of the
year. The temperature has been entirely
comfortable ever since they struck the
town. In counteraction of the summer
solstice they beat the Manitoba wave out
Of sight. They were a cool-looking crowd.
This party went by sailing vessel from
Iceland to Glasgow, where they took the
steamship Waldensia for Quebec, where
they arrived on July 18th. Their destin.
nation was originally Manitoba, but. being
captivated By The oily speech of an emmis-
sary OF the Chicago and Northwestern rail-
way, the party were induced to change
their programme, and, instead of going to
the Canadian province, they propose locat-
ing at Minneota, border settlement on
the Winona and St. Peter railway. Not
soul among these 200 emigrants from the
frozen zone could speak word of English.
OF course an interpreter accompanied the
party. But for him they would have had
to lay over at some station until they
could pick up a little English education.
The children, of whom there we.e
good-sized grist, were sleek-looking kids,
with blue eyes and ''tow'' heads. The
men and women all had white hair. There
was NOT black eye among the whole two
hundred. A few Of the women were quite
handsome, and all were passably cookbook

succeeded in raising childien in Iceland if
nothing else, for one middle-aged woman
was trying TO take care of thirteen young
sters, the Oldest rot more than sixteen.
The men wore sheepskin overcoats, or
cloaks, with headgear, or hood, attached,
the garments being sewn together with
the sinews of the reindeer, The lower ex-
tremities were encased in slleepskin leg
gins. Some OF the overcoats had sleeves,
and some had not. These people carry an
enormous bulk of baggage, one old fellow
who hobbled around on two canes, was

trunks. In one respect they resembled
tourists more shan immigrants. The party
had more money than the returning Cali
fornians in '49 and 30. The cash carried
along averaged $4,000 to each family. One ,
man seemed rather vain of exhibiting his |
seven hundred pounds sterling in English I
