The story that the Mormons are
pouring into Arizona to take possess
ion of that Territory is again revived,
apparently with some truth this time.
There seems to be no doubt that many
followers of "the Church of the Latter
Day Saints" are pouring into the up
per part Of the Territory and taking
possession of the most fertile lands
there. AS, however, there is steady
immigration of miners from the East
and the Pacific Slope into the mining
districts of Arizona, there is little dam
ger of this new land being captured by
the Mormons, as was Utah.

Says the Benton Record Of the 18th
inst.
The great want of the age is men. Men
who are not for sale. Men who are honest,
sound from center to circumference, true to
the hearts core. Men who will condemn
wrong in friend or foe, in themselves as well
rs others. y Such are the men we
want to fill our Offices Of public trust, and we
know OF no one that comes nearer filling the
bill than Col. Messrs Ward of Charleston, can
didate for congress in this district.
Was "Messrs" Ward "true from CEN
ter to circumference" when he bolted
Maj. Hatcher's nomination in 1874, and
ran as an independent candidate for
Congress? Did he condemn" the DEM
agogues in 1873 who led the people of
his own county to vote for Sol. Kitch-
en- against the regular nominee of the
Democracy of the Fourth district?
Against Messer Ward, personally, we
have nothing to say, and entertain for
him the most kindly feelings; but a
part of his political record is too recent
and unfortunate for the people to swal-
low the Records taffy and pronounce
it wholesome.

The Wheelbarrow wager.

Yesterday the PRESS referred to wager
lost by Mr.. Hobart of Someryille, Democrat
which obliges him to wheel a barrow loaded
with 200 pounds weight, to this city within
four years. The present is the fourth wager
of the kind which he has made. The first
was made in 1864 with Mr.. Wright, the we'll
known oyster dealer, the loser to wheel four
hundred pounds from Providence to Boston.
Mr.. Hobart favored Gen. Mcclellan, and Mr..
Wright bet on Lincoln. Mr.. Hobart was the
loser, and before fulfilling the conditions of
the wager received from the National Lancers
the gift of a wheelbarrow having two wheels
Upon this vehicle he brought four hundred
pounds of oysters from Providence to Boston.
The number of oysters vas upward of seven
hundred, and they were sold for dollar each.
There was dispute as to whether the wheel
barrow used was really VIII eelbarrow, as the
term is understood and one result of Mr..
Hobart's feat was that a number of bets were
made, dependent upon the settlement of the
question as to whether he had really won his
wager. The matter being left to referees,
was decided in his favor, but in his later
wagers he has always stipulated that the
vehicle used should be the one used in 1864
A few years ago he lost his second wager and
was obliged to wheel a load from Lexington
to Somerville More recently he got upon the
winning side and had the satisfaction of see
ing Mr. Dexter G. Stone trundle the wheel
barrow from Somerville to Boston. In regard
to the present wager he says he does not mind
the hardship Of the task that is before him SC
much as he does the fact that Hancock is moi
to be President

Refrigerators on Shipboard.

Six steamers, three in the Beaver and three
in the Dominion line, are to have refrgerators
for the shipment Of fresh beef. The principle
upon which these machines work is different
from most of their kind. The beef is put into
compartments between which are iron ice
tanks These are filed with ice in small
pieces mixed with salt, only a small amount of
ice being used at time. A quantity of ice is
stored IN another part of the steamer, and
man is employed whose sole business it is to
tend the ice tanks. The ventilation is proper
ly arranged so as to prevent the meat from
being tainted by supply of foul air. The
temperature around the meat is kept evenly
just above the freezing point 1t is claimed
that by this process the beef will arrive in
Liverpool in perfect state of preservation
some twelve or fifteen days after it is slaugh-
tered. 1t is then just ready for use, having
been kept long enough to make it tender and
palataDle. The meat arrives here from Chica-
60 in refrigerator cars and is Immediately
housed in the refrigerator on board the steam
or. This will do away with the shipping of
live cattle to any great extent.

The Trade Reception Last Evening.

The first of series of receptions to the prin-
cipal trades of the city, which the Young
Mems Christian Association propose to give
during the coming winter took place last
evening at their rooms, and was extended to
the members of the dry goods trade. The hall
was lastly decorated for the occasion, with
flags over the door and platform, statuary upon
the stand, kindly loaned by Loring, Short &
Harmon, and the state seals upon shields ar
ranged upon the walls about the hall, the lat
ter being generously loaned by Mr.. F. A.
Leavitt.
The exercises commenced with piano solo
by Miss Jennie j. Crowell A quartette con-
sisting of Mrs. Files, soprano Miss Annie K.
Hill, alto; Mr.. VIM Lambert, bass, and Mr..
R. II. Turner tenor, then rendered a fine selec-
ton. Rev. Asa Dalton invoked the Divine
blessing. Mrs. Files followed with solo.
Hon. Geo. w. Woodman was then introduced,
who said he came the city forty years ago
mere boy and entered the dry goods business.
He presented interesting statistics showing the
rapid growth Of the city, and pictured glow
ing future for it. He had much to do with the
young men of the trade. The young men were
counselled to start out with integrity and
application. There should be an interblend-
ing of the interests of the young men and their
employers. Character as we'll as reputation
should be possessed. They should be brought
together and blended in one. Mr.. Woodman
forcibly illustrated his remarks with incidents
he had met with in his experience.
A duet by Mrs. Files and Miss Hill followed.
Mrs. S. Ell. Doten then interested the audience
with reading. Prof. D. Crosby Wright of
Boston finely rendered a solo. Mr.. Albion
Little was then introduced, who said to carry
on the dry goods trade successfully required an
artist and an artist needs talent. Personal ap-
pearance has good deal to do with success in
life, especially in the dry goods business; also
your manner. 1t requires close application to
be successful. The Importance of study while
learning the business was referred to.
Mr.. Cullen G. Chapman followed with few
remarks, choosing for his subiect-"Some of
the qualifications necessary for a successful
life.' Among these are courage, politeness,
fidelity, unselishness, all Of which may be cul.
tivated by faith in God.
Mrs. Doten favored tie audience with an
other reading at this point, and the exercises
then closed with quar- tette singing.
There was present large and attentive au-
dience, who manifested their pleasure by FREE
Quent applause

White Mountain Climb.

Alta meeting of the White Mountain Club
last evening the question arose whether the fire
built on Streaked Mountain, Paris, was really
seen in Portland. 1t will be remembered
that the fire was built Wednesday, Nov 10th,
in celebration of the Republican vic tories and
blaze was seen in about the direction of
Paris, by Mr.. York of the observatory as was
announced in the PRESS last Thursday. But
the mountain itself has never been recognized
by any of the club though often looked for and
the height of the Blackstrap Hill in Falmouth
is sufficient, so some argued, to shut out a
mountain much higher than Streaked. The
matter will be. looked into and reported at a
future meeting There is no doubt Mr.. York
saw blaze but the question remains whether
it was the one on Streaked Mountain.

Alleged Theft of Bonds.

A hearing was given in the East Boston
Court, Tuesday, in the case of Leonard B.
Rich, charged with the larceny of 5000 shares
of Maine mining stocks, of the par value of 81
per share, and $4 in currency from Mr.. Ul-
mer, who resides in Rockland, in this State.
The evidence showed that the two men had
agreed to meet in a grocery store on Decatur
street on Monday morning, Nov Sth, to ar
range trade, Rich owning buggy which he
wished to trade with Ulmer for stocks. After
completing the bargain, the latter asked the
former to take a drink with him, and they
went to bar-room on London street. There,
over game of cards, Ulmer became intoxi-
Gated and remained in drunken stupor until
o'clock, when he awoke to find the bonds,
which had been in his overcoat, gone. Rich
was suspected of the theft and arrested. In
Tuesdays hearing the bartender testified to
certain suspicious actions on Rich's part, such
as throwing his own liquor under the table
while persuading Ulmer to drink more, etc.

Prison Uniforms.

The County Commissioners have decided on
and after January LIST, 1881, to put the prison.
ers confined in the Jail ON criminal sentences,
into striped suits, one-half light, and the other
half OF the uniform dark gray. The reasons
are first, that many, or most of the prisoners,
have to be provided with new clothes when
they leave the Jail at great expense to the
county, and also during their terms of impris-
onment there is much expense incurred for
clothing. The second reason is that if prison
ers escape they can be more easily detected and
caught. The Commissioners have 100 uni
forms nearly completed.
