Gardcn-Onc Tender Little Mormon
Dies Of Too Much Hair Dye.
One thousand converts to Morm0nism, armed,
for the greater part, with tin kettles and bedding
arrived at Castle Garden yesterday 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 Nor
monsm no such "parcel" to use Castle Garden
expression, has ever arrived in one vessel az that
which landed in our midst yesterday.
The presiding spirit Of the immense party which
arrived In this city yesterday was Elder Calder,
highly intelligent looking Scotchman, who nxes
people with his eye and whO in years gone by, has
ofriciated as chief secretary TO Brigham Young,
since which time he has been engaged In dissent
mating Mormon Views and making male and
female converts. The Scandinavians were placed
under the orders Of Elder Petersen, who is by
birth Swede. In addition to this five mission
aries returned in the vessel, three from scandi-
navia and two from Great Britain. AS soon the
news was Mashed up the bay that the Wisconsin,
with her large human freight OF Mormons, was
about entering the bay, Elder William G. Staines
under whose control the whole system OF Mormon
emigration to this country is conducted, came to
receive the Latter Day Saints and to greet them
upon their advent to the New World.
CASTLE GARDEN BY NIGHT.
Towards evening the debarkati0n OF the whole
party had been erected from the ocean steamer
and they had the pleasure OF treading on terra
Grna once more. Several OF the party had scarcely
entered the precinct of the rotunda at Castle Gar
den, when they devoutly threw themselves on the
ground and prayed fervently, apparently return
ing thanks to the Almighty, through Brigham
Young, Tor their safe preservation from the perils
of the deep.
THE SCENE IN CASTLE GARDEN
AT about four O'Clock the whole OF the Saints
rotunda. Men, women and children camped to-
gether in the midst OF the noOr with their ship
in some cunningly devised corner, packed out OF
sight and sleeping the sleep Of the just, repOsed at

remainder OF the family were discussing American
bread and butter and herrngs and five cent pieces,
apparently astonshed that these commodities
varied little in form or flavor from their Old World
counterparts.
MORMON CoQUErrE.
Let it not bewhispered among the Saints, as they
travel Eastward, that they have a coquette In their
midst, but 1t is true, and this is her description.
Golden haired, large, dreamy blue eyes, a CLASH
cally oval lace and a native or Dalecarlia. she
was apparently about the age OF susceptible six
teen, and, when last seen, was drawing on the
daintiest red boot over q neatly stockinged leg,
which she showed, with the most childish inno-

DEATH OF LITTLR MORMON.
One little Danish Mormon, OF eleven months, was
taken TO better world !some Genties allege by
OF hair dye, left within It's nante reach, and was
buried a. sea. The sights and scenes to be Wit
messed at Castle Garden on hot day. with the Their
mometer at the nincties, are curious and unique.
