A Young scotch Girls Experience in

Yesterday we were favored, with o call
from a bright-eyed, ruddy-cheeked, intel
lgent Scotch lassie Of seventeen, who has
Just escaped from Salt Lake CITY, and is on
her way back TO her parental home in Scot
land. Her name is Emily Jane Kane. She
is q native of Glasgow; her father, former
ly o respectable stevedore of that ilk, is
dead, and Emily and her widowed mother,
among numerous others, were converted
about two years ago to Mormonism by some
Of the proselyting elders of the sect. Glow
ing pictures were presented TO the con-
verts, especially to the comely and marriage
able damsels, of the comforts and delights
Of q life in the terrestrial paradise of the
Saints in Utah, and the young girl. by dint
OF hard work and strict ECONOMY, was en-
abled to save enough Of her hard earnings
to start with a steerngc full of fellow con-
verts, on the 18th of July, foI the promised
land. the passage was without adventure.
They arrived in New York city on the 18th
of August, and in Salt Lake City on the
Dist.
Vehicles met them at tho station, and
Emily found an elderly saint Of co seated
by her side, who told her that he had q
good home and wanted her for q wife, and
would take good care Of her If she would
have him. Naturally staggered by this
abrupt proposal, she begged a little time
for reflection, and IN arriving ut the city
found that the gray-headed Lothnrio had
already three wivesnnd numerous children.
Emily aud her fellow voysgers opened
their eyes to the existence Of polygamy. -
On the first Sunday after her arrival she
heard tho great Brigham preach q sermon,
in which he said that a man who had not
at least three wives would surely be damn
ed; and that every man ought TO have from
seven 20 ten 10 be sure of salvation.
Emily, who has the stuff OF q true hero
oino in her composition, soon resolved to
escape from tho wretched life before her at
alt hazards. Sho fed to q camp of United
States soldiers near the city, and threw
herself on their protection. The soldiers
contributed enough to pay her passage TO
Omaha; then she sold the few spare gar
ments in her little bundle aud got money
TO pay her fare TO this city.
Yesterday she walked the piers looking
for some vessel bound to the fathorland.-
The poor girls appearance attracted the
notice Of Harbor Master James NJ. Thomp-
son, q knd-henrtcd Official, who at once
took a fatherly interest in her. He went TO
his friends. Capt. Edward Howard and
Capt. G. p. Raymond. Together'they call
ed on Messrs. Miller q Conger, Gen. Abram
Duryee, aud other South street merchants,
who promptly contributed funds TO pay
Emily's expenses TO Scotland, and to-day
she sails in the steam packet. We asked
her why she did not remain in this country.
Said she in reply: 81 want to 90 back 70
tell our people the truth about Mormonism
to let them know what a vile imposture
il is Emily, We think, will prove n sharp
thorn in the side Of the missionaries.-N

"Mel me - exclaimed the astonished

SHARP PRACTICE.
CoIored Confidence Man.

From the Buffalo Express, oct. u.
Last Saturday evening n good looking
mulntto called at the house Of Ben Scott,
the well-bnown public crier, on Oak street,
and inquired where he could obtain lodg-
ings for tho night, stating that he had just
arrived fiom the country. Scott pointed
ont a boarding house, but ut the same
time invited the stranger 10 come in
aud take a seat. A conversation followed,
in which he Of the yellow hue told n
long and perhaps plausible story OF his life
in the Southern land. His master died du-
ring the war, and Sambo negotiated" as
he said, "a polite word for "stole') S72, 900
in bullion and plate. This by the aid Of
n partner was buried, and remained hidden
until afle r the wal, when it was uuearthed
and brought in "a trunk TO the North, and
was again buried in the town Of Cheekto-
waga, Sambo's partner was taken sick
could not endure the Northern climate, etc
and wanted TO 60 South again.
Now comes the softest part of the story,
as told TO poor Scott. The partner would
sell all his claim to the treasure for four
thousand dollars. Sambo had secured
three thousand dollars, and was looking
for a man to advance tho other thousand.
This proved a tempting bait for the public
crier, and be Neizod upon il with ayidity.
He agreed 10 furnish the one thousand dol
lars, and wal 10 have q large share of the
treasure. All day Monday and Tuesday he
l0hored TO find tho money, and Tuesday
evening in company with Sambo drove his
horse 10 the wilds of CheOktowago, where
the partner was found waiting. Arrange
mcuts were soon completed, and Scott
handed the home sick gentleman from tho
South 81, 900 in greenbacks, when, with
GOODNESS that must have been refreshing TO
Scott, they told him TO stay and hold the
horse while they went after the hidden
trunk. Scott held that horse tll his mind
became sufficiently clear to discover that he
was a victim of misplaced confidence, and
then returned to Buffalo and told the story

RAyAGEs oF II CHOLERA IN INDIA A
letter from Calcutta, dated August Goth,
presents the following sad picture of the
ravages of cholera in India:
Although at Umritsir, Agra, and several
other places which have been attacked,
cholera has sensibly abated, tits still raging
In many districts in various parts of the
country with fearful violence, and the total
death rate is, at the very lowest estimate,
400 a day. Since 1858 there has been no
hot season 30 fatal as the present 10 Euro
peans. All through the Northwest PROV
inces the pestilence is making sad rayages.
At Gwalior the deaths are from sixty to a
hundred q day, and Sepree, Bhopal and Sc
here are suffering heavily. The scourge
seems, indeed, TO be steadily marching
along the Agra road TO Bombay. At Indore
the native Rajah has made the people offer
sacrifices outside the city walls, with bare
heads and dry chupdtties, but without any
marked success, as upwards of 1000 men
have persisted during the past three weeks.
All through Malwa the horrors of pestilepce
are aggravated by the priyations of famine,
especially among the thousands of pilgrims
who have been visiting the shrine of Omcar,
and are now obliged to remain in that dis
trict until the rains are over. From South.
ern India We hear almost equally gloomy
tidings. At Hyderabad the cholera has
made terrible inroads, and at Madras and
all the other main centres of population il
! has had more or less victims.

and should keep half the pie myself, what
