A Gentle in Salt Lake who has married
Mormon lady is in some dread of the 'blood
atonement.n He describes the peculiar insti-
tuition as follows: swell, these fellows get o
grudge against man, and they make out that
he's done something he can't atone for except
with blood, and then some of the elders have
revelation that the mans got to be got out of
the way, and they go for him. Taint no use,
then. These revelations do the business for
him. Mans found dead, throat cut, or some
thing of that sort, and that's the last oft. NO
body knows anything about it, and if you catch
'em at it taint no use-they oil stand by each
other.n 80 80
x The Alta California owns that 'the great
want of California at the present time is pop
ulation,n and says lit must he admitted that
some disappointment has followed the COM
pletion Of the Pacific Railroad;' but adds
iswe cannot help thinking that those who an
ticipated an immediate accession to our popu-
lation, and sudden increase in the price OIL
real estate, and immediate sales of agricul-
tural lands at exorbitant prices, to say moth
ing of the extravagant anticipations Of mer-
camille prosperity, take very short-sighted
view of the subject. The railroad will bring
both population and wealth to the country
within a reasonable time; but some effort will
be required on our part to show that there ore
peculiar advantages of climate and soil to in
duce settlement here, and opportunities more
favorable than elsewhere for the profitable in
vestment of capital"
