MORMON PROMISES.
The police departments of the cantons of Berne and Thurgovie have issued warnings advising the people not to emigrate to Salt Lake City. Mormon missionaries have obtained many converts, almost exclusively young girls, in these two cantons, and letters which have been received from some of them are now published by the police. From these it appears that the girls were tempted away hy the most glowing accounts of life in "Utah, but when they arrived and had spent what money they possessed they were turned out on the streets. A Swiss living in Utah writes :—" I have occupied myself with some of these unfortunates. Their stories would inelt the hardest heart, but the Mormon has neither heart nor feelings." An interpellation on the subject is shortly to be made in the Swiss Parliament.
