The shay Reef DISPLAY.

The annual display of show beef by the
butchers began Yesterday and is about equal
to the displays of previous years. The
Second street market is not so attractive
this year, owing partly to the absence Of
several butchers who generally make
elaborate displays. The King and Eighth
street butchers have their stalls very taste
fully decorated. The markets this morning
have decidedly ''gone" look about them

ERTTORIAL PRISON
the increase of population

the increase of population
 seems to come in its ratio,
 ging from the excess of prisoners low confined in the Territorial Pris- Ion over the number that were domi- ciled there last year. The increase in one year being about sixty, which, had the courts of Southern Arizona done their duty, would have raised the number to one hundred. How ever, as 1t is, there are ninety nine stout, able bodied men cooped up at Yuma, maintained by taxpayers who work hard to support them in idle ness.
 It is apparent to every citizen of this Territory that the way of keep ing prisoners confined in Yuma is entirely wrong and should be rem edied. To do this it is necessary that.wise legislation be had in the premises. An appropriation will be in order for the establishing of shops for the manufacture of such articles as are needed in the Territory By thus doing prison labor may be util- ized and the prison made self-sup porting.
 A good wagon and carriage fac tory should be one of the first things started, as it would pay from the beginning. In no part of the United States can such wagons and carriages be made as at Yuma, owing to the dryness of the atmosphere, which takes all dampness from the timber, hence no shrinkage, rendering the cutting of tires, bands, &c., ncces, sary. We are told that there are ex- cellent carpenters, wheelwrights, blacksmiths, shoemakers, etc., etc, confined in the prison at Yuma, who would rather be employed than idle, and it is the duty of the coming leg islature to do something which will result beneicially to prisoners and taxpayers alike, and make our peni- tentiary a credit to the territory Prescott Miner.

THE WICKEDIST TOWN.

At a Baptist ministers meeting
in New York on Tuesday the Rev.
Harvey Wood of England, who has
just returned from Leadville after
resigning the pastorate of the Lead
vile Baptist Church, said:
aWhen you ask me to speak
about Leadyille you give me big
text. Briefly, my experience as a
pastor was this: When I was in
Yited to accept the pastorate in
Leadville I was informed by letters
that there were 1870 members in the
church, that the church building
would seat 500, persons, and a par
sonage was ready for me. The
facts were, I found out when / got
there, that the. church seated 140
persons, that there were 49 church
members, and that the parsonage
had been sold and the church So
ciety was $500 in debt. AS to the
standard of christianity in Lead
vile, it is not exalted. For in
stance next to the church building
was a blacksmith shop, and on
Sundays the blacksmith was always
busy. AS I did not believe that
pounding and expounding go TO-
gether on Sunday, I went out just
before the sermon and asked the
blacksmith to stop. The black
smith told me to go to place con-
siderably warmer than Florida, and
added that he. was working for a
member Of my church. And sure
enough, there stood the Treasurer
of the church having his horse
shod.
'Gambling is licensed, and so is
rum. Last year $4,000 was paid
for rum license, and $40 a table in
the gambling hells. Idid my level
best to get some of my people to go
into some of these gambling places,
but they were afraid, for murder is
an everyday affair. I went into
many places, and think Leadville
is the wickedest town on EARTH"
The Rev. DR.. Merrill, of Roches-
ter, reviewed the condition of the
theological seminaries, and noted
with sorrow that the number of
theological students is growing less
and less. In the Baptist denomi-
nation there are not enough to take
the places Of the ministers as they
die.

ESCAPING A BLIZZARD.

The following is from "A Miners
Yarn in the Minneapolis Tribune:
1 was n Cheyenne after Jim had
got rich and persuaded him to give
me that dog ofhis'n, Bose. I was
out huntin' one day near Laramie,
when one of them Hurricanes come
up and I didn't know what to do.
It was perrairie all around. I
could see the storm acomin', but
two miles off. If I run it would
ketch me. If I staid thar it was
death. SO I jes took and showed
ole Bose's nose agin a bank and
yelled s'rats I' You orter have seen
that dog scratch. he throwed dirt
behind him like a breaking plow
drawed by twenty yoke Of oxen.
I held on to his tail and he scratch.
ed. We hadn't got in the ground
more'n two hundred feet when the
storm struck US. But Bose kept
scratchin'. I let him go on for q
mile or So. but I told him to let up,
which he did, the surprisedest dog
you ever seed, because he hadn't
caught up with the rat. / got back
to the top of ground, went to Lara
:mie and started the story that I had
found a cave. Imade 100000 by
showin' tourists that cave, but lost
it all in speculatin' in mines.

THE TELEPHONE.

An editor in a country town
where the telephone had been in
troduced, was away from the Office
and wanted to see the boy in his
establishment, and called up his
partner.
"Hello, JIM"
"Hello."
"Give me the devil
Then there was a buzz, and the
editor heard: Cali right, you
burned old catamaran of the
Rockies; you miserable long plea
ink-slinger, with more nose into
other peoples business than your
own; you amt worth a splinter
when sawlogs are selling for a cent
on long time, and a man that takes
your apology of a newspaper at 81
per year in advance is only con.
tributing that much to the propaga-
ton of vice; you slab-sided, whop.
per:jawed, cross-eyed, pigeon-toed, ,
knock kneed, bald-headed, fly
blown, ichthyosaurus of the valley,
you iZer zectulasius on the body
polite, you" but the editor shut
it off with slam and a bang, and
it took his partner a week to ex,
plain that when a man wanted
him to give anybody the devil, he
thought he wanted it straight, and
didn't have any reference to a poor,
harmless boy in printing Office.
