salt Lake City and N0rmonism.


Salt Lake is the natural metropolis of
great scope Of country, embracing all
tah and portions of Nevada, Idaho,
Montana and Colorado Already it con-
tain- eighteen thousand people, and bids
fair to continue, as at present, the largest
city between st. Louis and San Fransisco.
The overland telegraph connects it with
the Atlantic and the Pacific; mail-coaches
ply daily to the Missouri River on the
cast and California on the west, to Mon
tana on the north, to Idaho and the Col
umbia River on the northwest. The ho-
tel Is usually crowded with guests, and the
streets. all watered by little rills OH each
side, are thronged with the wagons of en-
igrants and farmers, with women and
children, saints, and sinners, miners and
indians. Some Of the trading-houses do
an immense business. Last year a single
merchant paid one hundred and fifty thous-
and dollars for hauling his goods from
Missouri River.
There are two daily newspapers, . The
Nedette," representing the Gentle popula-
ton, and :. The Telegraph in the interest
Of the Mormons =. The Weekly Desert
News. almost as old as the city-is the
organ Of the Mormon Church In a ter
ritorial population of sixty-fve thousand,
all are Mormons, except three or four
hundred, who reside chiefly in Salt Lake
City. These disscnters are known as
Gentile~," while the Mormons style them
selves, par excellence. the Saints, and elias
sifv all outsiders az Sinners.
Camp Douglas is beautifully located, on
a high plateau, two miles from the city
which its artillery commands. Its estab-
lishment as a garrisoned post of the Unit
cd States army has been il potent restraint
upon the despotic power Of the Mormon
Church, as it affords protection to all men
and women who abandon that faith. Many
recanting Saints, chiefly wives dissatisfied
with polyganly, have here sought the shell
ter of the national flag, and been sent from
the territory, under military escort.
There is now Il fourishing Gentle

years since their pioneers, one hundred and
thirty-nine men and four women reached
the site of their present city. immediately
upon arrival, they knelt down and thanked
God for his guidance and protection. On
the same day they commenced blowing.
An old trader, the only white man in the
region, declared that he would give a thou
sand dollars for the first ear of corn they
could raise from this parched and barren
soil. But there is always a future for set
tiers who pray and then go to plowing.
They have made the trecless desert indeed
blossom as the rose and laid the foundation

1t is an anomoly in our civilization that

and authority of the National Government.
But the problem will soon be solved by
natural laws. Polygamy, like the other
patriarchal institution, which is laid in the
tomb of the Capulets, cannot exist without
isolation Thus far, Brigham has kept
his followers from working the rich mines
of silver and gold which the mountains
contain. The sagacous policy has pre-
served his power, and greatly increased
the prosperity Of the people. But within

"MARBLED" PAPER.-Few, even of those
who are familiar with the name, understand
how that species of notified or brindled
paper so much used for the covers of books
is made to assume its curious appearance.
The following information is sent to the
Boston 1'rareler by lady who lately Wis
tied Harpers great printing establishment
in New \ York and s'saw how it was done -
"The most remarkable thing to me, after
all, was the 'marbling process which ]
don't believe you know any more about than

A tank is filled with gum and water, and
water colors are thrown upon the surface,
first black, then red, blue or yellow, each
spot of color remaining perfectly distinct,
but changing its form as it is displaced bv
the next one
Then a comb or rake is drawn along the
surface. These are of various degrees of
fineness, and a great variety of patterns
can be given The comb pattern is now
most used. As a special compliment to his
inquisitive lady visitor, the man made Il

very handsome and elaborate. The sheets
are laid lightly on the top, and when taken
off retain the impression They are then
dried and afterward FURNISHED"

OurRAGEs. IN North CARoLlNA-There
seems to be deplorable condition Of things
in North Carolina; and, judging By the nn-
merous robberifs, murders and atsons that
we see noticed in the State papers, fhc fol-
lowing remarks Of the Newbern Journal of
Commerce do not go one step beyond the
truth:
The country we write OF is hardly worse
off than that extending on every side beyond.
A large portion Of this section OF the State is
at the mercy of organized gangs of armed ne
groes. There may be a-Gew achi4 williams
among them, but if so, they are but few.
These negroes will not work. They must
cat and in living on the toll of others, they
are bent Oh food, though they have to wade
for it through fire and blood. 1t is with this
element we are called upon to deal-these
organizations We must put down. What can
be done, and how shall we begin ?
Public meetings should at once be held in
all our cities, towns and villages, to be called
BY the authorities of the interpretations and
the leading neighborhood men,. at these
meetings the subject should be fully consid-
cred and a general organization.

A Fatal Kiss.


An Austrian nobleman, one of the hant-
soonest and most accomplished young men IN
Vienna, was passionatcly in love with young
girl of almost peerless beauty. She was the
daughter of man of great rank and inHu-
ence at court, and On these considerations, as
well as in regard 10 her charms, she was fol-
lowed by multitude of suitors. She lovely
and amiable, treated them with an aifa-
bility which still kept them in her train, al
though it was generally known that she had
avowed a prcdiection for the Count, and that
preparations were making FOR tfeir nuplials,
The Count was Of y refined mind and deli
cate scnsibiliiy; lie loved her for herself

dwelt in beautiful! form. Like a lover OF
such,perfecliops he approached her with tim
idily: and when lie touched her q fire shot
through his riens, that warned him not to
invade the sanclury Of her lips. Such wce
bis. feelings, when one night at the house OF
bis intended father in.law, party of young
people were met TO celebrate certain teS'i
val Several of the young ladY's rejected
suitors were present. Forteits were one OF
the pastimes. and all went on with the great

by some witty young lady to redeem his

bride. !.

and at last, with tremor that shook every

upon her cheek, and in evident confusion re-
tired to demand his redeemed plcdgc His
mistress gaiy smiled, and the game went on.
