LIFE AMONG THE SAINTS. Mr..
William HI. Duncan has received letter
from friend at Salt Lake City, says the
Reese River Reveille, which he has hand
ed to us for publication. 1t conveys a
graphic picture of the wretchcd state of
affairs between the Gentiles and the Nor
mons. The writer says; "The Gentiles
subscribed $500 toretain Governor We'll
Ter to lead in the inquest over the body
of Dr. Robinson. The old man probed
the murder TO its depths, and traced it
to the teachings of the Mormon leaders.
Over 200 witnesses were examined, but
nothing new came to light. The Nor
mons knew nothing, of course, and the
Gentiles swore that they were afraid of
their lives if they testified what they
knew. Everybody is leaving. General
Conner telegraphed to Rev. Mr.. Mcleod
not to come here, as his life would not be
safe. Recently Judge Titus received a
package containing his grave clothes, and
letter warning him to leave. The pc.
lice closed up all the club.room on the
9th inst. The license for a bar-room is
5000 per quarter, in advance, and for
billiards, 500. We go about the city

armed. At the present time there are
only forty boarders at the Salt Lake Ho-
tel, where there were hundreds short
time ago." I.. ...

The Loss OF THE "EvENING STAR"
An Eastern correspondent Of tho Alta
says the loss Of the Evening Star caused
a thrill of horror throughout the commu-
nifty. Your correspondent has been pre-
pared at any time within the last two
years to hear that this vessel, or her con-
sort, the Morning Star, had gone to the
bottom, with all on board. People who
have voyaged on them have repeatedly
told me that they not strong enough
to breast the terrible gales which frequent
ly sweep over the North Atlantic, and
that they would eragain sail on them.
The newer ships of the line, the Guild
ing Star and Rising Star, have credit,
and probably correctly, of being much
stronger and better constructed steamers,
and are doubtless as safe as any of the
vessels which ply along coast. Among
he near three hundred lives which fell
a sacrifice to the disaster of the Evening
Star were those of over ninety of the
unfortunate" of whom Hood wrote so
touchiuSly. Not "one" but nearly an
hundred have ''gone to their DEATHS"
and the wild Atlantic will for ages chant
their requiem Poor lost creatures, they
have persisted from off the face of the
earth No record remains that they
have ever live6, for their history was I'M
known save by themselves, and there are
none to weep for them. Yet most of
them had doubtless once been the cher
ished inmates of happy homes, abandon
Ell in the hour of their shame for life
of humiliation and despair Some so
called Christian people say they are ''lost
forever" that the bottomless pit has
opened its yawning gates to receive them,
and that in its glowing recesses they will
eterpally experience fortunes of the
damned. Faugh. upon such Christian
ity; it sickens the heart which can yet
STEEL for anothei's woes. Let us all rath-
er hope and believe that an All-Wise and
ever-benificent creator has, in taking
them from earth, closed instead the ca
reer of shame to which they were expos
ed on earth, and that the language of the
God man to his hearers was not mock
cry: ''Let him who is without sin cast
the first stone" -
