Arrival OF Foreign RTOrmOns At Castle
Hardeu Eeuv Vortr


sent to Europa 30 preach the doctrines Of
Joe suiIh. The World says f-e4
The present let of redeemed people
came over AZ the small charge per eapitG
OF tnree pounds and eighteen sLillings, OF
about $40 spiece. Each one pays bis own
fare to this point, and many OF them have
secured homes and husbands in advanoe
at Sslt Lsks City, to which theY will bs
forwarded BY the Peoples Line of steam
ers 70 Albany, thencs BY SuspensioR'
Bridge, DstroiJ and Chicago, 70 Hannibal
and St. Joseph, snd themes, by river and
By ox-tssms, will cross the prairie to the
promised lsnd.
The Mormon Government, we under
stand, is At the expense of eighteen dllsrs
8 head to get them cut to Dsseret. " This
is the cheapest lot of wives it has been our
] privilege to see. and the fact scccaats for
the ease with which so many can be kept
going by-one man. They viii be eleven
weeks on the way, and numbsr of cock
ney youths among them VINO expect to
shoot bufaloes on the Battery, may crafty
their csrniverous ssPerations on the march.
Elder Taylor informed Us thst very few
| Of these emigrants dis-seldom 60 many as
! five per cent. cut of 8 cargo. They ara
cleanly in their habits, he says and pray
often; and, We msy add, are so curious %
see the new Jerusalem that their curiosity
keeps them alive till they tcseh r.
The tug R2ttler accommodated shout q
hundred OF them at every trip she made;
add when these came up the gang plsnks
TO COVent Garden, they locked like the
emptying Of the ole carpet bags and port
msnteaus they carried About two thirds
of them were English, Of the extremist
| cOckney religion. Mormonism may cura
the souls Of these, but it cannot mend their
| dialect They took possession of the land
as soon as they arrived on it, dropped their
bags, beds and tinnery immedistelV, and,
taking huge clasp knives from their poek-
cts, began 10 cut bread and cheese, pCking
it down their throsts with knife. The
LOndoner was there be who goes out for
thoughtful walk on Sabbath morning
with bull terrier under his arm; the
Manchester man, stoop backed by working
at the loom; and heaps of Welshmen,
short of body and stolid of face. These
Welsh are obsying in this immigration an
chronological rather than a re- lgious law. 4,
They nave resisted four centuries any et-
fort to bs demoralizsd, or TO absorb their
language and habits in those Of their con-
querors. So they are quitting their Weslh
mountains for the Valley of Deseret and
accepting polygamy for the sake of sane
tuBry.
The land which produced Goethe, Less
ing contributed to the scene in Castle Gar
den many buxom msidens in blue stock
iRgs and short petticOets, to whom bonnets
were an aversion and tooth brushes in vain.
They will doubtless mako excellent wives
in the New Jerusalem, but one of them
should be enough for ordinary human na-
ture- They ate their lunch in our pree-
enee, and, judging BY Its amount, we
thought II their days ration. There we're
some Scotch in the party, and, we were
told, three Irishmen- It is not probable
that the Scotch converts will become ex-
tenslve polygamists, if expense Is to be q
leading feature Of Mormon economy The
Irish Mormons look cut of place Paddy,
with fsur wives on his arm, would cut an
awkward figure anywhere. It is to be OBJ
served that the Mormon elders make very
few converts in the United Stsie5 at the
present tinns. The public his become very
well informed IS TO their social and politi-
csl shortcomings; SO they draw their raw
levies from abroad
The mass Of these people seemed to US
profoundly ignorant. We addressed 3
plesSant-looking English girl, who sat on
the floor with bzby on her Lap. Her hair
hsd the freshness of Kentish dew, and the
soft moistness Of her eye was that Of the
pilgrim mothers:
'.Are you anxious to reach your destina-
= a Zee, indeed, sir. / am sure did not
think l. so far. Is l. dangerous to cross
the Desert7 Brother Sher says that weare
to have beautiful city. Have you ever
been there2"
Not for their souls sake, bat for their
hopes sake these simple beings are on the
way to the wilderness. We talked to this
girl, whose manners were quite srtlsss, of
the accounts she hsd received In England,
and her simple fancy had been stirred to
enthusiasm At the prospect of living apart
from tne world in everlasting psalm sing
ing. She had lett her husbsni behind her,
as he had refused to look toward the New
Jerusalem, and, with the easy sdsptabuity
Of her sex, she viii probably reconcile her
self to niche in soma pethoric sAint's So
rsgIio.
There Iwsre some of these women W3o
needed only cold water and 8 hne.tOOth
comb to be quite covetsble. Their eyes
were bright, their faces fresh, and their.
figures tall and shspely. We saw two
who were in the TOW Of q grey bearded
psrd, whom they addressed as Brother Jo-
mas, he was straining under their baggage
like broken-Winded psck-horse, and pre-
sented suggestive picture of the pleasure
of fdouble-blessedness. Now and then he
wound look up at them from under his pan
nier of boxes and bedding with an irresisti-
bic Tenderness, and it was evident from
his addressing them as HSister," that he
had not yet marriage certificate.
There we're three SISTERS, Welsh Girls, Of
the party-ruddy, amisble, broad shoulder
ed-Who were treated with much atten-
ton, as desirable acquisitions on the score
of their health and hOussWifery. Between
them they owned 8 huge mstErsss, several
vslises, and an infnity # pots and kettles
These were carried by some represents
tive specimens Of the Bow Bell cockDey,
VINO dropped their asiprates all over Uss-
tie Garden. If the route Of these coekneys
be indusIiOusly examined, ssPsrstes as
large IS sneezss will be picked up, enough
to drive windmill
Old age was not behind hand IN num-
bers. There was an old lady in her eighty
fifth year among these chosen people She
wore double glasses, but hoped around
very actively, and, like the woman in the
miracle, crIried her own bed Whist OBJ
! jeet this old Lady creature could have In
travelling six thousand miles it Is hard 20
| say. She had no relative along WITH her,
but seemed to be in good oder with every
/ body, and when last observed was sitting
on trunk looking at the painted ceiling
| of Castle Garden, as if l. would be good
| place from which to be translated.
