place to get at, and before they could do any
good, the flames had advanced so far they gave
up all hopes. From that the grass or wild oats

SALT LAKE CITY.-A correspondent of the
New York Times, writing from Salt Lake City
the seat a Mormon power, of the growth oil
that place, says:
without detracting in the least from the en-
terprise of the saints in this respect, will say.
that any other body of Anglo-Saxon farmers,
mechanics, artisans and laborers (of equal nnm-
bers) would have effected quite as much if not
more, in the same length OF time. think the
same number of Shakers would have effected
more, because the amount which has been spent
III support of the priesthood and their harems,
would have gone IN a more useful direction.
The whole marvel lies in two facts-irst that
the entire community We're transferred here at
once, without waiting for the tedions process OF
gradual settlement. And, second, all their en-
ergies, stimulated by religious enthusiasm, have
been ineasurably directed by single will. The
real miracle consists in SO large body of men
and women, in the nineteenth century, being
governed and controlled by such gross eigious
imposure."
