sTALwART MEN AND WOMEN GOING TO
JOIN THE UTAH BAND.
Five hundred and ninety mine NJ ormon
immigrants arrived Wednesday in the
Wyoming. An even 600 sailed from
Liverpool, under charge of Mr.. Nevins,
but one of the number, Hans Anderson,
died, and was buried at sea. Those who
arrived were, for the most part, Danes,
with large infusion of Norwegians and
Swedes. There were few English, and
four families of Welsh. There was not
an Irishman or Irshwoman. Natives of
Ireland hardly ever embrace the Mormon
faith. The latest steamship that brought
out recruits for Salt Lake took, indeed
| one Irishman among the number, bul
that he was not an enthusiastic convert
to Mormonism may, perhaps, be gather
ed from the fact that when questioned
upon the subject, he said: "The halt o
me passage was paid, SO, be gobs,
thought I'd come anyhow"

1t is favorite argument with those who are

initiation in the abstract, and would never con-
