MoRxoN ARRIVALS In NEW YORK.

X; MORMON ARRIVALS IN NEW YORK.
There is an organization throughout Utah
known as the Order of Melchisedec It's
members number some 15,000 They are
bound by most fearful oaths to put the COM
mands OF the church above every thing else.
The Mormon leaders will bring all the ma
chinery Of this dread secret order to bear
upon weak kneed saints to force them 10
evade the law Of their country. II, in
spite Of that, member should,
when arrested for polygamy, plead
guilty and throw himself on the
mercy of the court, then he may look out.
The authorities that engineered the Noun
do with him. We shall see whether the
whole United States government can pro-
tect its citizens against Mormon vengeance.
Mormonism is curious anachronism flung
into the midst Of the Nineteenth century.
Fastened on the body of afree republic it is
the single example Of an absolutely dsspotic
hierarchy in the world at the present day.
Meantime Salt Lake City grows with a
steady, substantial growth. II has many
miles Of street railway now and popula-
tion Of 5000. About the only Mormon
growth from the outside, however, comes
from the influx OF ignorant sfcFeign i'm
migrants Even these do not come in such
numbers as they used to, though droves Of
them still land in New York from
the steerage of ships, from; time to
time. There are large Gentle interests in
Salt Lake The Saints have not escaped the
hberalizing influence of such contact. 1t is
predicted that in spite of all the pressure
from the church, number of the brethren
will plead guilty Of polygamy, and get off
with q mild sentence. Those who plead not
guilty and are convicted are sent to the
peniten tiary. A Mormon bishop is at this
moment serving his sentence in the Idaho
prison. 1t is the peniten tiary on one side,
tho vengeance Of the church on the other.

no pretentions to beauty ontwardly, yet it
is 50 entirely adapted to it purpose in all
ways as to be a marvel. Its acoustic prop.
critics are perfect, the best of any hall
in America. When the late Reuben
Springer was planning his magnificent
music hall for Cincinnati, he visited Salt
Lake and carefully studied the dimensioks,
acoustics ETC., Of the Mormon tabernacle.
Then, as far as possible, he modelled the
Cincinnati structure after it.
The great organ in the Mormon taber-
nacle is almost as much Of a wonder as the
building itself 1t is nearly as large as a
small house. The towers on each side are
forty-eight feet high. There are 2,7O4
pipes and 81 stops. The whole front wood
work is exquisitely carved by hand. The
organ was built good while ago. But it
was mostly sham and an idle appendage
until after the Episcopal church here built
a beautiful organ. That fired the Mormon
heart tat,5 s.
The Saints determined not to be outdone
in music by The Gentiles. They set to work
repairing their organ and gotting it ready
for use. They spent in a short time over
10000 on 1t. Then it became superb in
strument. The next thing was to get an
organist who could play it. A master in
the aftiwas secured The finest classic and
devotional music Is given. The hearer is
enraptured. The sound falls.upon the ear,
powerful, sweet and swelling. like q melody
from the celestial spheres 1t is q little odd
that some of the grandest church music in
America should be heard here in the heart
Of tho American desert, more than 2,00C
miles away from the Atlantic coast, where
the best Of everything that civilization af-
fords Is supposed to be found.
After all, though, the hard-headed Saints
would never have perfected this superb or
gan only out OF rivalry to the Gentiles, te
keep Their own members from being drawn
away from the fold. So the perfected or
gan is due to the Gentiies at last, The Saints
do not take naturally to anything SO unprac
tical as music. ID eg1l

Throw In YOur Hands.

Judge Alex. Campbell was one of the victims Of the stage robbery the other day, between Casa Grande and Florence. The MexicAns who committed the deed made. all the passengers get out and hand over their valuables. MT. Camp bell, as everyone knows, is very delibsr- ate in his actions, and as he delved down in bis pockets for piece after piece of coin, the Mexican would eisculate, "pronto," mas pronto' and 'muy prom to- until his pockets were quite inno- cent of lucre. The Mexican then re- turned to NIT. Campbell half-dollar as pelon.
 Since writing the above, Judge Camp bell states that there were three passen- gers on the stage. The two Mexicans without masks, stopped the stage; told the passengers to throw up their hands winch they religiously proceeded 10 do-and then to dismount They made, the driver throw out Wells, Fargo < Cos box and ordered him to open it; after hammering away with a wrench for a time unsuccessfully, one of the Mexicaus took the wrench and with couple of blows knocked of the lock. Finding nothing of value within. they told the pa sengers to disgorge. From one of them they got about eight dollsrs, but failed to discover quite a sum in hIs left hip pocket; from another only two or three dollars were taken. and from Judge Campbell they took stra fro Anflnru EUal Ev.n frg1.a chrOnometer, which was presented to him by the DeYoungs, of the San Fran cisco Chronicle, in 1880. It had his name engraved on the case and may serve to identify the thieves. After taking thelr money the MexicaIs or dered the men to get In the stage and vamos.
 One of the MexieaDs was large man with heavy beard, and the other was a slight built man of more tender years. They were seen m Casa .Grande the evening before and had left there ear ly Wednesday morning ahead of the stage in order to rob 1t. Their horses were tied in the chapparal, a short dis tance away, and after the stage had gone on they mounted their horses and rode away.
 It was afterwards learned that the MeXicans had stolen the horses they were riding, at Tempe. and were making for Sonora. and the stage robbery was only a contingent matter. On Thursday, a deputy sheriff of Msricops county ar- rived m Tucson, accompanied by the owner of the stolen horses. They had an interview with the sheriff here, and told him that they knew where the thieves were heading for; that they had tine best horses and would intercept the fugitives; that they did not want any assistance in their capture. They left by the QuiiOtoa road and wlll likely &C., complish their object.

Mines in Western sonora.

P. T. Bowling, who has been for the past two years or more hard at work de. veloping some mining properties on the Sonoits in Sonora, IS in the city and leaves this evening for Quiiotoa. AL though the gentleman was not very communicative regarding affairs in his section, the following facts were gleaned from him.
 His mine, Fl Rosario by name, is lo- csted on the Sonoits rlver, thirty miles little west of south from the Gunsight and about fifty miles from the Quijo- toas, and is few miles within the state of Sonora. It is located on a ledge that can be traced for twenty miles, and the ore body varies in width from eight inches to two feet. The ore is free milling, and will give an average result of about one hundred ounces to the ton. A great deal of development work has been done and very fine property has been creted.
 The country about is one ofindiscriba- ble and repulsiye desolation; the rocks are omnipresent and the desert IS but a glare Of solar fervency. From the mine upon which he has spent so much time and money, westward to the gull Of California, the whole country Is scanned with minerals-gold, silver and inexhaustible beds of cop per. There are also many salt marshes and deposits of crystailzed salt. There IS, however, one unsur- mountable drawback-the lack of water. The whole country, So rich Tn precious metals, IS rendered desolGte hy the utter absence of water. In time ways will be devised by the genius of Yankee cunning, to supply this great deficiency and fabulous wealth will be extracted from the strong arms of the eternhl rocks. At such time the now sleepy little town of Sonoita will possess the importance of quite 8 metropolis. as 1t will command all the trade of that section. Even now the people are building irrigating canals and will brlng under cultivation quite a large area of agricultural land along the riy- CT. At present but little fruit or cereals are raised there, and fabulous prices are charged for all classes Oi mer- chandIse.
 The Indians about Fl Rosario mine are working inc plscers in s very crude way These placers are fed by small, blind lodges of gold quartz, and consid- erable of the gold is coarse. The Indians take a bstella ia closely woven basket or wooden bowl) and con- centrste the gold in the bottom by a peculiar movement similar to washing gold ID a gold pan, and then take the precious remnants Tn one hand and with the aid of their breath work off all the foreign substances, leaving the gold pure and bright. Some of the Indian miners become very expert in dry-wash ing gold in this crude way. although 1t IS plain that they must lose great deal of the fine gold. They work in n desultory fashion, and derive consider able revenue from this source.

Life'S HiclssItudeS.

When F. P Sargent left Tucson about half year ago, his friends little dream cd that the transfer of his l8res and pen stes to the salubrious climate of metro politan Yuma would mark an era of nigh honor, dignity and renown such as now rests upon his worthy shoulders. Being the discoverer of the celebrated Los Angeles variety of carp his fame has become national and his title of "U. s. Frog Commissioner for the Dis trict of Arizona" has been bestowed upon him without any solicitation on his part. The benefits of lis discovery have not been half told and the general public IS still writhing in the contor- tions of profound ignorance upon a sub ject or such vital importance that reloic- ing will certainly follow the disclosures. The great yeRrnlng of the people of Ari- zOn8 has long been for Gn article of fish food adapted to the peculiar lakes and rivers characteristic of the Territory. During the torrid heat of midsum- mer, the llmpid waters of the shimmering lakes vapOrize under the fervent rays of sn Arizona sun, and only a dancing, dazzling mist marks the metes and bounds of the pent up liquid. The ordi- nary species of the tinny tribe therefore meet with considerable Encouragement, particularly as the dazzling mist some times fails to replace itself in its earthly saucer-shaped bed. and a necessity arises for a journey to a more congenial 6nd consistent element. In his research Mr. Sargent found tine elements of species that he hopes 10 bring to a still higher degree of perfection. The nu- eleus of this species came from Los Angeles, and from its embryonic incli- nations he evolved two beautiful fore legs, and two equally handsome rear ones. Thus fortified. the fish IS enabled
 To migrate from one pond to another, as necessity inpels IL. the only remaining want being in providing for its suste- nance en route. Mir. Sargent hopes yet 10 evolve perfect specimen with a water pouch provided by nature, for the purpose Of supplying the thirsty fish
