THE CITY OF THE SAINTS.

A Chat with a Mormon Agent,

So little ib knowii about Mormonism, and so much curiosity has recently been shown respecting that sect, that the "Pall Mall Gazette" decided to tako advantage of the conference which the Latter Day Saints lately hold in London in order to gather a few facts. The following account of an interview with one of its representatives had with Mr C. W. Ponrose, tho intelligent and talented president of the conference, I will doubtless bo read with interest :—

The Missing Plates.

Who has not hoard of these marvellous plates covered with hieroglyphics which were revealed to Joseph Smith, found by him on a hill four miles from Palmyra, in county Ontario 1 " Can you tell me what has become of those plates ?" said our repre sentative, after some preliminary remarks. "I havo seen the declaration signed by Oliver Cowdery, David Whitmer, and Martin Harris, in which they say, "With words of soberness," then " an angel of God came down from heaven, and brought and laid beforo our eyas, that we beheld and saw the plates and, the engravings theroon." These tables \?ere, they said, bound together by three rvags running through them, and the plat,^, if I remember right, were some eight inches long by seven inches wide. W','oh those waß an instrument called by jthith " Urim and Thummim," a mysterious sort of atone spectacles, by the help of which he translated " The Book of Mormon." "Well, what has become of the plates of Urim and Thum mim!" Our representative's curiosity had long beon excited over the fa(e of the plates : what an addition they would be to the British' Museum ! Alas! according to Mr Penrose, tho identical angel who pro duced the plates reappeared when the works of translation was done and carried back with him to heaven Urim, Thummim, tin plateß, and all. So no mortal will see them until he dies. As a compensation for the loes, Mormons have ever since been able to work miraclep, prophesy, interpret divers kinds of tongues, and have possessed various other gifts denied to the rest of mankind.

The City of the Saints.

"Salt Lake City, founded on July 24, 1547," observed Mr Penrose, "by a small company of gallant pioneers, now contains over 20,000 inhabitants. The streets are four or fivo times as wide as your Oxford streot, while pleasant streams of water flow at the sides of almost every street, with avenues of limes and other trees, giving a dolicious shade." As for the public build ings, as Mr Penrose described them, they are highly creditable to their erectors. ' In the Tabernacle the first thing that strikes a stranger is a largo fountain which in the hoat of summer renders the building deli ciously cool. Running round the building is a gallery capable of seating 4,000 people. At tho west end, towering to the roof, is one of tho largest and beat organs in the States. Hore the chief religious ceremonies are transacted and in order to avoid a crush at the timo of exit a capital plan has been adopted, from which, if I may say so with out impertinence, I think your theatres might well take a hint. The roof rests upon forty-four pillars ; between more than half of these pillars aro folding doors. These, when tho service or meeting is over, are all thrown opon ut once, and in an incrodibly short space of time the building is quite empty. It was in this edifice that Adolina I'atti gavo a concort on hor rocont visit to America. She was charmed with its acoustical properties, and, moreovor, expressed herself much pleased with all she saw in Utah. Beside? the Tat! rnaclo thero is a moro important edifico now in coureo of oroction known as ' Tho Temple !' Here our marriages, baptisms— for which, by tho way, thoro will be a font 57 by 35 ft., with several rooms and passages round it—prayer meetings, confirmations, &c, will bo colebrated. It would occupy too long to toll you all about the public buildings in Salt Lake City. Wo have banks, schools, and hotels, while there is foremost among the attractions to our happy land that remarkable sheet of wator tho 1 still innocent Dead Sea,' as it has been cnllod, and better known as—

"The Groat Salt Lake.

"In what does its attractiveness con sist?" you ask. " What's the use of a lake iv whose waters are no fish and of which the water is undrinkablo V' "First and fore most are the exquisite scenery effects. Picture to yourself if you can a sheet of water from seventy to eighty miles long and some forty miles wide, with loyely ranges of mountains, for many months of the year capped with snow, for a background, with picturesque islands dotted all about, and you havo a scene such as would please your Mr Kuekin himself. Then the lake is much used in tho summer time for bathing pur pones. It is true that when you come out frcrn your dip you are covered from head to foot with particles of salt, .which make your appearance, to say tho least, somewhat extraordinary. But many a time havo I bathed from the foot of Black Rock, and I havo never known such exhilarating effects aa result from a bath in the waters of the Great Salt Lake."

The Drink Question,

"In a pretty little town, called Provo, situated fome fifty miles away from the capital and connected with it by rail, tho drink question has been solved in a manner which has proved entirely satisfactory. There are 4,000 inhabitants." "And how many public houses ?" " Not a single one. The population consists almost exclusively of Mormons, and those who cannot do with out spirituous liquor must go elsewhere." " Is this also the case in Salt Lake City ?" "No," replied Mr Penroao, sadly shaking his head. "There are too many un believers. Still even there, thanks to our great influence, comparatively speaking there are but few drinking bars. The fees for taking out a license are so heavy that few can afford to pay them. The result is that such as there aro aro of a high class. For instance, such dreadful hellii as the bars in many parts of London would be absolutely impossible." "In fact, even over drinking you manage to throw a halo of respectibility ?" "Exactly so," replied Mr Penrose, with a smile.

Tho Mission in Groat Britain.

" Wo have hadeversincolß37misuionaries who, following tho example set them by the twelvo Apostles, havo set out without ' scrip' or ' thought for tho morrow,' and havo journeyed through distant lands making converts. At the present time we have branches of our Church in all the principal towna in England, Wales, and Ireland ; among other places at Liverpool, Manchester, Leicester, Leeds, Nottingham, Sunderland, Glasgow, Dublin, the Isle of Man, and in London we have as many as six_ meeting-houees. This will show the activity of the movement. In far-away Scandinavia, too, we havo missionaries; most of the converts prefer joining their brotbren in the faith to stopping in Europe. Hence tho large number of emigrants. This year four companies, averaging three hundred each, havo left Liperpool for the land of the Saints. When they reach lowa the emigrants settle down far and wide as farmers or in business. Their thriftiness is most exemplary, and it is not long before they are ablo to offer payment for the pass ages of their fellow religionists and poor re lations at home. We have bean charged with inducing young girls to emigrate : now, this_ is utterly falso. Much has been said against our polygamous practices ; lies are circulated thatallMormonsarepolygamists. This is far from true. Why, thoro aro numbers of our religion who have but one wife ; and in Utah among the Mormons thero are actually, according to the Census returns, 6,000 more male than females. Of course we all approve of polygamy. With us there is nono of that awful immorality such as was so courageously exposod quite recently by tho " Pall Mall Gazette." Kven prejudiced travellers are bound to admit that the moral tone of our cities is edifying in the extreme. And now I wish to say a few .words about the abominable treatmont to which we have in our helplessness been compelled passively to submit."
