cd there, some were driven back, and others
were lost. it was Is years earlier than
Christianity was promulgated by law in

There was a man by the name Of Uerjulf, a
son of Bard, a son Of Herjulf-Lord lngolf's
relation, ' HON Herjulf Ingolf had endowed
with land INrg between the c4pes Wage

to Gree lland, at the time when Erik the Red"
was colonizing it.
On ,i1ard the ship was with hin a man
from tie Southern lslands-The Hebrides-
who was a Christian; he composed the "Hot-

of the song:

y dispatch from Washington,

another part OF this paper, states
that Governor Thomas has filed his
annual report aud that it contains q
number o. allegations and recon-

are very peculiar. Not peculiar,
however, 10 the Governor. His
manner OF dealing with the people
whom he desires to r,Ile with auto
cratic power Is well known, and
his airoit method Of lodging round
the truth while pretending Il ad =
vance it, is quite familiar to the
Utah public.
What he means by meaningless
words OF double meaning may lie
difficult for ordinary MORALS 20 I'M

double dealing an I cunning perver-
siOns is very easy - iathom. The
otiee. aud intent aud explanation Of
all his scheming, ami mis-epreseuta-
ton, and tricks u speech, are 10 he
seen in the closing paragraph Of the
dispatch which gives brief epitome
Of his report
Governor Thomas wants TO have
the power TO appoint all the local
and petty officers that are and Of
right should be elected by the people.
To achieve the purpose OF his am-
bilion, he wcali utterly destroy the
last remnant Of local self government
