"The woman must indeed have been last in the priestess before Eliza Snow's lips could have framed the cruel answer, 'Die, then! There are hundreds of women un in that burvlnc cround who have gone there because they could not be resigned to the will and order of God.' " This is the statement, and the onlv Atifhnrkv she gives for i t. Now, we know Eliza Snow; 1 uhybsuuwu uvt iur luny years, a great part or that time meat intimately, in her works and labor?; have traveled with her through the different stakes of Zion; have seen her in all the various circumstance?-ansituations incident to such journoyingsj when we meet the people in their homes and by the fireside, as well as in publlo gatherings, and never have we heard from her lips anything like unkindness to those who came for sympathy or counsel, but cn the. contrary when Bisters, passing through any se vere trial w sfllicU poured cut sympathy and consolation in such a spirit of humility and love that it has imparted comfort and blessing, especially as she is a woman gifted with powerjn that direction, and has a gieat infloence over those jwith whom she mingles. It would not ba possible for EIiz Snow, we speak adviuedly, to make such a remark; not only Is it contrary to her own womanly nature and character, but it la contrary to the the one we have alluded to .here; however It Is the fte of all thofe who follow jn the foctsteps of our Savior, to b3 ovil spoken of by the world. As forBirter EVza Snow herself i he lives so far above any slander cr misrepresentation that it cannot reach her nt all, and she can alford it, but those who circulate such evil reports can very ill afford It. Thfy will have it to meet in the great hereafter, when alL must give an e.c. . count of the deeds done in the bdy.

Sbefayf: "A very largw proper, tion of the vktim8,:, wrote the Chicago Inter Ocean, :are importations from Great Britain.

Queen Victoria should protect her subjects from such an ImpceiUon. Oar government would in any feasible plan having gladly that object in view., After quoting this pas-- s age from the Inter Ocean, she addr, "How far Her .Majesty cm protect her Eutjecta Jn this di- - lection I cannot undertake to say; believing that some service can be done' by presenting to the public true pictures of Mormon life, I have endeavored Inthe8e pages to give my readers the benefit of all the Information I obtained while residing among this ''peculiar pe jple," which I consider has an important bearing cn the extra- ordinary ph ase presented to the world byihe social life and practices of tho Latter-da- y Saints." She then elaborate the matter mere fully and eay8thatseveral-letter- s addreesedrtq Herare lying by her side, and quotes upon the subject " t vf wKb-hoIdln- g imo-rricdg- ci-opera- 'e the following from one: , of Mormonlsm are still inducing numbers of oar young people, in the east of London, togp put of our country; they are de- -; luded by the missionary's perversion of the Scriptures, to suit his own Inclinations, and allured with the belief that in Salt Lake City they will find Zion or Paradise at once." ; Then she tell j a dreadful tale of mteery and horror to substantiate what she has said, and adds, "It is one of the many sad hlstorlea I know, to be true." She does not us how ishe knows bo much, and speiks of her residence here as if she had remained in Utah some considerable time, whereas, the truth Is, she was only here a very few days. Now, we know how utterly false all her statements are; we know well that our Elders go to preach the Gospel, to carry the glad tidings of salvation , such as the Latter-daSaints to those who Bit in darkness; go without "Agents tli pnrre cr scrip, trusting in God ti provide their dally food; theyo have no letters of credit, nor even money in thplr purae, except, sometime?, fnfficient tb take them to their place of destina-tion- j ar;d they cany no liatlerlng tidings to induce ny to emigrate, but preach cthe word cf God, whic'J, when received by the honest heart, avrakensin the reel pfent of the!
