The Sooth to 4tocom« th» Great Iren . ... ‘ Hart of the World*

Commenting on the xeoent shipments to England of Alabama .and Georgia pig iron, adverted to in these columns over a week ago, the United States Economist savs it has been the opinion of American iron masters for some time past that iron ore was destined to be­come an important article of commerce between the United States and Great Britain. This view was based on the superior mineral wealth of this country, and also on the surface character of the ores, which requires comparatively lit­tle mining. But the shipment* from Borne, Ga., indicate that the time has come a little sooner, and in a somewhat different shape than was expected. It will be found on examination, however, that the shipments are from the short eat or most direct line from the area of production. At present transp rtatian from the Pennsylvania iron field' is too much in the hands of monopolists, and is too oostly to permit it to be seriously thought of. The remarks of the Econ­omist upon the important results fore­shadowed by this initial movement,'are so apt and just that we transcribe them entire:

The shipments already made consist of pig iron from Alabama and Georgia, constituting a portion of what is prob­ably the cheapest and richest mineral deposits in the world. From Tennessee to Alabama iron ore may be obtained With comparatively little labor an I cap­ital, and the only wonder is that the attention of capitalists had not long since been directed to it. Bat the country was almost sealed up to enter-

8rise before the war, and it is only since ie recovery of produce that its import­ance has been folly demonstrated. It

may not be generally known that dar­ing the last few years large amounts of northern capital, and the largest pro­portion from this city have been invested in southwestern mines. In this con­nection we may mention the names of Moses Taylor, Wm. B. Astor, John Jacob Astor, Thomas Dickson, and Le­roy Gannon among the heaviest invest­ors. Probably still larger investments have been made on account of English capitalists

The merchants and capitalists who invested their money in these nndertak ings did not intend that it should be idle, and it is not improbable that the shipments of iron above alluded to may be the first fruits of the far greater tide that is to come. Onoe establish the fact that raw iron can be produced in this country as cheaply as it can be pro dneed in England, and we shall see the mineral regions of the southwest con verted into the centres of industry.

But, apart even from all considera­tions of rivalry with England, we still have in the mineral resonrees of the southwest the bases of most flourishing industries, and of a mighty commerce. On the Kanawha mountains, on the line of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad, the iron may be detached by crowbars, and placed on the railroad cars for transportation. It is nearly the same in the long mineral belt extending through Tennessee beyond Ohattanooga mountains to the southern spur of the Alleghaniee. The supply seems well- nigh inexhaustible. It will be hundreds of years before it will become necessary to resort to the deep mining the same as in England. With such advantages the United States should become the ohief iron producing country in the world. All that is required to accom-

Jlish this destiny is the removal of the urdens on labor which renders this the dearest produoing country in the

world. With a moderately liberal com­mercial policy on the part of congress, should soon recover the markets in South and Oentral America, and also in the West Indies.

It only remains to notice the facilities for transportation between the south­western coal aud iron fields and the

GUNS.apart for the plebeians, aud Wednesdays for the aristocracy. As early as half- past six o’clock in the morning are seen women and men—elastic youth and tot­tering age—all heading toward this Mecca of Mormonism, each carrying a little half-concealed parcel; this con­tains their t ndowment clothes, which, of coarse, they mast put on before they can receive their endowment blessings or get married. This endowment suit proper is what might be called a shirt and pants made into one garment, some­thing like what we used to wear when we were wicked little boys, excepting that these are not buttoned up at all. This straight jacket is made of cheap or coarse material, arc <rding to the pover­ty of the sinner. Emblems of the cross are worked over the heart and right, knee. A large flowirg robe of white mnalin is thrown over the endowmenter, and then he is pnt through the mill of Zion. But if he also wishes to marry, he must, before putting on his attenu­ated pants and night shirt, take a bath and be anointed with olive oil, a bottle of which every intended Benedict brings with him. Formerly the celestial mar­riage occupied several hours, and was very ceremonious; but since so much marrying is being done, it is rushed through in a more practical and busi­ness-like manner, thus affording an op­portunity to marry oftener.

CELESTIAL MARRIAGES.I have been given an account of the

“ celestial marriage,” which I send you for what it is worth. I am loth to be­lieve that the ceremonies are eo revolt­ing as they are pictured by my inform­ant, and indeed I place little reliance on the story. Still it is valuable as showing how the people here look upon the peouliar institution,

After being properly bathed—which typioally washes away the sins of the world—the victims are anointed from head to foot with olive oil, which the bjride and groom must furnish. This oil is poured over them from a small horn, called the horn of plenty. Thev then don their endowment clothes and ascension robes, and are led into a typ­ical garden of Eden, in the center of whioh is a shrubbery tree about three feet high, from the green boughs of whioh are suspended bunches of grapes; no apples are in sight. Reclining at the foot of this tree is his Satanic maj­esty, or the serpent, as the case may be, clad in blaok cloth tights. Tl is char­acter is generally assumed by Councilor Wells, because of his peculiar fitness for that role—possessing a reddish and sharp face and large, hooked nose, re­sembling the “make-up” of “Zamiel” in the Blaok Crook. This character- serpent immediately commences a flir­tation conversation with “Eve.” At first she slowly shakes her head ; finally she hesitates, and then, of coarse, Bhe is lost—typically. The ‘1 Savior” (Brig­ham Young) appears, and a “scene” occurs. Several have happened in fam­ilies since. Their robes are-taken off by a servant in waiting, (an extra char­acter rung in,) and aprons of genuine fig leaves are given them, which they rat on, and are driven from the garden >y the “ Savior” (Brigham Young) into

an ante-room, where they are married. They are then nnited for time and eter­nity-death is only a temporary separa­tion.—&an Francisco Chronicle.
