"A vast scheme Of uniting all the
Protestant Churches in the world into one
great missionary society was conceived
by Cromwell. He intended to establish
Protestant college for the defense and
propagation Of the evangelical faith, to
receive from the State fixed annual
support. The whole earth was divided
into four missionary provinces, each Of
which was to have its representative in
the college, Though this scheme was
not carried through, it prepared the
English nation for an active support Of
the missionary societies which soon after
sprang into existence.

SEEK

health and avoid sickness.
Instead of feeling tired and
worn out, instead of aches
and pains, wouldn't you
rather feel fresh and strong?
You can continue feeling
miserable and good for no
thing, and no one but your
self can find fault, but if you
are tired Of that kind oflife,
you can change it if you
choose.
How? By getting one
bottle of Brown IRON BIT-
TIERS, and taking it regularly
according to directions.

This is the title of little book (price 10 cts-)
published by the Presby terrain Board of Publ
cation, Philadelphia, in which THE Church
Socable" 1.-The Church Entertainment" and
1.-THE Church Bazaar" are discussed in a very
earnest and judcious manner. The writer,
Rev. Alfred E. Myers, pastor of the Presbyte-
rian church of Owasco, N. Y, thinks that many
churches have drifted into customs, in regard to
these matters, of which the full import is not
apprehended. He contends that the system
of sociables produces effect directly the OF
posite of that which is intended to be produced.
1t tends to make class-churches 1t tends to
drive away, or keep away, those who cannot
breathe freely in the social atmosphere preva-
lent in any church"
Church entertainments and bazars are, he
thinks. very questionable, ard often very ur-
christian methods of obtaining money for church
purposes.

PROCLAMATION.
TO the People of Montana.

Whereas, it Is generally known that
Montana is a very healthy portion Of the
globe, still there are times, places and
circumstances.in which people will get
sick and perhaps die. All the ills to
which the human flesh is heir are
caused by impure blood. 1.-THE blood Is
pure a person is always healthy and can
BID defiance to every contagious disease
and the thousand and One sicknesses to
which one is exposed by an impure state
Of the blood. No matter what may all
one the cause can ever be traced back to
that source. The question therefore is /;
"What can we take as q preventive
against sickness or to bring us back to
health when we are sick - That want
and question is answered since the pro-
| prietor Of DR.. Halliday's Blood Purifier

FOR ASSESSOR.

The friends Of David G. Browne are
anxious that he should make the race
for assessor, and if he will consent to
enter the lists he can easily secure the
nomination. Mr.. Browne is a young
man of fine business qualifications, of
good Judgment, Of extensive acquain-
lance throughout the county, and would
make a strong acc. He is in every
respect qualified for the position, and if
elected there would be no question about
Choteau county having a good assessor.

at the Coal Banks, Carroll and other
points below, while the carrying trade
on the river above Benton would be # it
self considerable. Stone for building pur-
poses, coal and wood carr be secured be-
tween Benton and the falls, and it would
keep such a boat pretty busy to supply
our town with these articles, while the
passenger traffic to the falls, especially
with a small boat on the upper river,
would be immense. It is an enterprise
that would be Of great benefitto Benton,
and we hope that the gentlemen inter-
ested will carry their plans into execu-
ton.
During the past week a promising
vein Of coal was discovered near the
river, a few miles below the falls, and.it
is proposed to develop it this fall. With
a good vein OF coal convenient to the
river and a small steamboat to ply from
this place to the mine, the question of
cheap fuel for Benton is solved, and
there are fair prospects thatthe problem
will be worked out in that way.

Up in Alaska.

A correspondent, writing from Harris
burg, Alaska, under date of July 18th,
says that from June 18th to that time it
had rained nearly every day. He says:
Eve have had only two clear days
since that time. One advantage is that
our days have been long. We could
read without a light until IL o'clock.
The rain has been of considerable value
to the placer miners, and has at last en-
abled them to get to work, The result
is about 5000 shipped for the last two
weeks work, and it looks al though
$500, 900 will be produced this season.
The mill on Douglass Island has been
running steadily for several months, and
it's owners seem satisfied with the result.

h Court Begins.

The new order Of the supreme court
changing the time of holding the dis
trict court at Benton from the first to
the third Tuesday of next month has
been rescinded and the term will begin
on the date heretofore fixed, viz: the first
Tuesday of September. The reason for
the r~escinsion Of the order is that the
commissioners of Meagher county at their
last meeting had not selected the jurors,
supposing that they could do 50 at their
September meeting, and if court COM
menced in that county the first Tuesday
Of September they would probably be
without %juries. The Benton attorneys
are not pleased to see the session begin
so soon. and some Of them will have to
work pretty hard now to get their cases
ready.

THE Herald cries out against giving
the proposed e county at Sun River
any part or parcel Of Lewis and Clark
unless compensated by getting g slice Of
Jefferson, ''all that portion north Of q
line drawn east and west across the
county, corresponding with the summit
of the divide between Prickly Pear and
Boulder That is just. The portion of
Jefferson county described is naturally
tributary to Helena, andshould by right
be a part of Lewis and Clark county.
Jefferson should then be allotted that
portion of Meagher which naturally
belong to 1.-THE Missouri valley-and
the change all around would be for the
general good. But it should not be for
gotten that that portion of Meagher
county which is tributary to Benton
should be annexed to Choteau.

A BOAT FOR THE UPPER RIVER.

A project is on foot to have a light
boat built this winter for service on the
upper river-from Benton to Carroll, or
where required, from Benton to the
fllls-and arrangements to that end are
lmost completed. The projectors are
Ifalcom Morrow, ST., Norris Gray and
Ben Jewell, the latter al old-time pilot
Gu the river. The gentlemen named
have all the capital that will be needed
in the enterprise, and are now arranging
the pr~eliminaries for having the boat
built, so that it can be brought up the
river early next season. The proposed
craft will be built so as to draw as little
water as possible, with 9 carrying capa-
city Of about fifty tons, and will cost
from $1,000 to $500.
Such q boat at Benton, owned by Ben
ton parties, would be an immense sue
cess, and Il source Of handsome profits to
its owners. It would have all that it
could do while the river il open. After
the larger boats had ceased coming to
Benton It could bring up the freight left

Whether or not the hornet which
worked its way up the leg and under the
trousers of deacon in Richmond, Va,
and stung him five times while he was
praying in prayer meeting was or was not
an emissary of satan, is one of those
things which may never be definitely
ascertained. The story of such an event
having happened might not be believed,
but for the fact that the leading Baptist
paper of Richmond vouches for its truth.
The excitement in the meeting was in
tense, not only in the mind of the suffer-
ing deacon, who promptly changed his
petition into a howl Of agony, but in the
minds of the brethren, who were startled
to hear the accustomed monotony Of the
deacon's devotional exercise suddenly
transformed into such demonstrative elo-
cutionary yigor. 1t is stated that the
deacon Immediately on being stung
brought his prayen to q conclusion, prob
ably without even saying amen. While
there are many church prayer meetings
which are In most respects all that they
ought to be, there are others so dry,
monotonous and wearisome that the en-
trance of hovnets ready for active opera
tions on the brethren who take part would
be hailed as a benediction, especially by
the younger members Of the congrega-
ton.

o.
The account Of the bombardment of
Alexandra given by Gen. Stone, Chief of
Staff OF the Egyptian army, is Of interest
and value. The huge charges of powder
soon wrapped both ships and forts in
smoke, but Gen. Stone, who was with the
Khedive, in Ramleh palace, could form a
T9idgment of what was going on by the
flash Of the guns and the explosion Of the
shells. The fire Of one ship at Fort Kaid
Bey was, he says. well directed, her shells
nearly all bursting inside the works; but
that Of her two oonsorts was extremely
bad, most of their projectiles falling short
or flying over. Still; as the batteries
were nearly all crippled by the killing of
their gunners, the British practice cannot
be called ineffective. Infantry had to be
sent to Kaid Bey to replace the killed ar
tillerymen, and their inexperience rem.
dered one Armstrong gun unserviceable.
Kaid Bey received fire for ten hours, yet
had one important gun in position at the
end, though silent. The last fifty shots
at this fort were badly aimed. In the
battery Of Ras-ei.Teen one large Arm
strong was disabled by two shots which
had struck its carriage. but three others
were in good firing order, and the gun
ners were found next morning in their
places, awaiting attack. The big smooth
bores and 9-inch Armstrong on Mon
crieff carriage were also unhurt, and o
good ordnance service, according to Gen.
Stone, with small engineer detachment
could have put the battery into complete
fighting condition during one night.
The British fire on this battery was bad,
damaging it little. but destroying the pal
ace beyond. Some Of the practice on the
light house battery had been excellent,
but the high fire in other cases was re-
corded by the shot marks on the Light
house, One would say, Judging from
this account and others, that the forts
were fairly well supplied with heavy
gums. but their parapets were too slight,
and the ,bombproofs afforded insufficient
protection; while the feet artillery was
enormously powerful but in many cases
was neutralized BY bad gunnery.' Cen
Stone expresses in the strongest Ian guage
his censure Of Admiral Seymour for at
tacking Alexandra before he had land.
ing force sufficient to occupy it when re.
,duced BY his guns. t.s
