The Temple when finished.--Mormon-idea of a meeting-house.-- N.B. It will be bigger, probably, than Dodworth Hall.--one of the figures in the foreground is intended for Heber C. Kimball.--You can see, by the expression of his back, that he is thinking what a great man Joseph Smith was. . . . . The Great Salt Lake.--Water actually thick with salt--too saline to sail in.--Mariners rocked on the bosom of this deep with rock salt.--The water isn't very good to drink. . . . .
