WANT TO EMIGRATE TO AMERICA.
There is no doubt that as large as the
emigration from Germany to the United
States Is, there are thousands in Germa.
ny who are only waiting money and op-
portunity to join them. In looking at
the mammoth press at the exposition
grounds few days since, the pressmar,
on being informed of the nature of our
calling, begged US to take him and his
wife to America. Cow drivers and ali
manner OF mechanics express desire to
go, but have not the means. Almost
every one of them whom we speak to is
looking forward to emigration, or ex.
pressing the hope that he may be able to
join friends and relatives there before
many years. The laboripg and agricu,-
tural women seem to regard America as
the haven OF all their hopes, and il there
were 5000 miles of desert instead OF
wnter solling between them, there would
be general rush. In short, there does
not appear to be much love for the sFa.
therland" on this side of the water.
Among our Germans at home, it is pos
sibly distance that lends enchantment to
the view. Those who have wealth or
have got into q money-makiDg groove
can live as well and as happily here as in
any other country in the world, but as
tho poor man is by no means curiosity,
and the poor woman can be found with.
out very diligent search, and as the
sous OF these poor men and women think
they can do without learning the art and
mystery OF war, the tendency of almost
everybody is decidedly Westward.

ONE THOUSAND HORIZONS.

One thousand converts to Mormonisn, arm
ed, for the greater part, with tin kettles and
bedding, arrived at Castle Garden, n. y,
Tuesday, by the steamer Wisconsin, from
Liverpool, on their way to the modern Zion
About two-thirds of the number are from
Denmark, Sweden and Norway, the remainder
being from the British Isles. In the history
of Mormonism no such 'parcel," to use a
Castle Garden expression, has ever arrived in
one vessel as that which landed Tuesday.
The presiding spirit of the party was Elder
Calder, highly intelligent looking Scotch
man, who fxos people with his eye, and who,
in years gone by, has officiated as chief secre-
tary to Brigham Young, since which time he
has been engaged in disseminating Mormon
views and making male and female converts.
The Scandinavians were placed under the or
ders of Elder Petersen, who is by birth s
Swede In addition to this, five missionaries
returned in the vessel, three from Scandinavia
and two from Great Britain. The Saints left
for Utah Wednesday on the Pennsylvania
Central roa,l, aud thence by the Union Pacific
to Ogden. From that point they will be con-
veyed on the Utah Southern Railroad to Salt
Lake City, the entire journey occupying nine
