Among the most important items have to com
muncate at this writing il one touching the king
dom of sin at Salt Lake. The facts which are dc
veloped seem too incredible for belief but since
learning them from the mouth of one who was six
years ago Saint and President of Mormon City
and who is still in correspondence with Sodom,
where they yet believe him to be one of the faithful
Of Gen. V. E. Howard. tina. my information is CIR
robOIated by the mouths of several other witnesses
who believe in its truth

acquainted through business introduction, and

States mail. He tells me that he knows the object

bring every nation under their dominion physically
aud morally, which will be the accomplishment of a
millennium and peace universal. But the means of
this accomplishment are startling.

Der are engaged in the fields Of China, and espe-
cally in the manufacture Of tea into which during
their labors, they incorporate nsidious but fatal
poison. Others are engaged in the same godlike %
work, in the manufacture OF liquor and tobacco;
guarded against by the faithful, who receive what
are called by Brigham, the "word of WISDOM and
OF course abstain from the use Of the interdicted
articles.
These poisons are of various kinds. Some are 70

while at the same time their fatality may be precpi

Mr.. II. tells me also that Uncle Sans troops will
be received with open arms and with the greatest
hospitality and Kindness by the Mormons AT Salt

there. Brigham intends 10 captivate them each
with homestead, six feet by two, in his romantic
valley.

some OF whom were his personal acquaintance from
