WHAT AN ENGLISH GIRL THINKS OF THE MOR-MONS.—An English girl, named Elizabeth Cot-ton, who was induced to join the Mormons and emigrate to Salt Lake, writes home to Leeds, England, as follows:—"I am afraid I never shall see you again ; but I live in hopes. We started from Salt Lake some time since to come back again, but the Mormons met us, and we were compelled to go back. On arriving at the Salt Lake I was not a little surprised to see the men running after the women and asking if they were married ; but I have not got married yet, and I do not intend to. Many of the men have eight or ten wives, and they sleep with one, two nights, and the other two nights, and so on—and this is Mormonism. But this is not all, for Brigham Young has sixty women, and they had twelve sons in one year, and how many daugh-ters I do not know. What they preach about is——, thieving and cutting anybody's throat; and if you ask anything about it you are told it is none of your d—d business. I know one young woman of fifteen who has had four husbands in five months, and that gives you an idea of Mormonism. Ann Jubb came along with us across the plains, and when she got to Salt Lake there were so many men running after her that she got married, and she is the second wife, and they call her Ann Webb, but she is far from being comfortable, and would be glad to be back again. If I was in England, and any Mormon elder came to the house where I was, I would give him a pretty warm reception.—Mormonism in England and Mormonism in Salt Lake are as different as chalk and cheese."
