A GIFT to Georgetown University.

Through the generosity of Rev. j. MIC
Nally, pastor of St. Stephens Church,
Washington, D. c., the Georgetown Col
lege library has received very valuable
accession to its treasures, says the George
town College Journal. The reverend gen
tleman, who inherited from his father "a
man of literary taste and Discrimination
a valuable library, has recently donated
over one thousand volumes, chiefly
French memoirs and classics, to the in
stitution, thereby enriching this depart
ment of the collection and giving the
same q. value for purposes of consultation
and reference that few Libraries possess.
This addition to our already crowded and
scattered store of books emphasizes the
necessity the college has for entering upon
the occupation of the new library, which
is still in the incomplete state in which it
was left three years ago. We enter our
thanks here in public to Father McNally
for his generous gift with hope that his
example may be contagious.

Captain Edward Fielding staff aide-de.
camp to General Booth of the Salvation
Army, opened his batteries in this city
yesterday and last night against rum and
irreligion. The meetings are being held
in Nash's Hall, at the corner of Fourth
and l. streets, and last night there were
about two hundred people inside seated
on the hard pine benches, and another
hundred were grouped outside about the
windows. Captain Fielding has as his own
aide, his wife, a rather comely young
woman, who adds a pleasant contralto
voice to the Captains well-meant efforts
to sing She also is strong on prayer,
and seems to be relied on strongly by her
husband for that work.
Captain Fielding is of American birth
of English parents, but was raised in
London, where he became unaccustomed
to the ordinary use of haspirates; he is
rather short, of square figure, is less than
twenty-five years of age, and is yet
struggling theoretically to raise slight
crop of mutton-chop whiskcrs to match
dandy little dark moustache.
Just at o'clock last night Captain
Fielding, after singing battle hymn,
urged some one to lead in prayer, but as
there were no volunteers he turned to
Mrs. Fielding and remarked Ego ahead"
whereupon she turned up her dress skirts
and knelt to deliver long argumentative
prayer in which she informed the Divine
Being of the progress of affairs and of
what they hoped to do. After another
hymn, another effort was made to secure
volunteer prayer, which failed, and the
captain took hand himself Then more
singing and a Baltimore convert of the
army told at length how good he felt, and
thus the work went on--alternating with
hymn, prayer and exhortation, until Mrs.
Fielding passed around the Captains
derby hat and realized S1.l6, which the
Captain disgustedly explained would Just
about pay the bill for the coal oil with
which the room was lighted. Captain
Fielding says he has come to stay until all
Washington is enrolled in the Salvation
Army, and will hold his meetings nightly;
and, moreover, he wants the papers to tell
this to thp nponlp

The Legal Right to Bet.

The charge against Orlando Jones for

Harris, the proprietor of the Harris
House, for allowing gambling on his
premises, were brought to test the ques-
ton of the right of any person to bet
money on any occasion. Mr.. A. b. Will
Jams, the attorney for the defense, intends
to consult with District Attorney Worth
ington to have the matter brought before
the District Supreme Court IN Banc for
ruling, as that will settle the whole ques-
ton, while an indictment by the grand
jury or rejection by that body would
still leave the question wholly unsettled.

MONTANA PIONEERS.
RAMBLER

At the meeting of the Montana Pho
neers held at Helena August IS, 1885, it
was unanimously voted that each one who
had signed the roll of Pioneers, and every
one entitled SO to do, should be requested
to furnish the corresponding secretary,
during the coming year, a brief sketch of
his life for~the purpose of making up a
Pioneers Record" similar to that Of
California, and that all the newspapers of
Montana be requested to publish this no.
tice for three months and aid in the ac-
complishment of this enterprise.
The sketch should contain at least the
date and place of birth, the date, route
and means of conveyance in coming to
Montana, place of residence since coming,
occupation aud most important events
during such residence, with any addition
al matters the writer may wish to make.
Many of the pioneers are dead, and it
is earnestly desired that some friend may
supply the record for such ones

INAUGURATION OF GRAIN EN-
PORTS.

When it was predicted by the Courier a
short time ago, says that journal, that the
time was not far distant when wheat, if
not other grain, raised in Gallatin valley,
wonld be shipped east as far as Minneap-
oils at a profit to the producers the pre-
diction was regarded a%slittls less than alb
surd by many, If not all of our farmers.
This year, however, we are not only ship
ping wheat as far east as the Mississippi
river, but actually forwarding it to Eng
land. But this is not all, for the superior
quality of Montana barley having become
known in the brewing centers of the
country, quite a demand has suddenly
sprung up, ard we are now shipping bar
ley by the car load to Milwaukee. 1t is
thus that the incompatible excellence Of
Gallatin valley grain is being demon
strated.

Sun RIVER CATTLE.

From Mr.. Samuel Ford, of Sun River,
who has returned from the east, we learn
that he sold his shipment of beef cattle
(447 hsad) in Chicago for s6t.20 per head
and that deducting expenses for trans
portation, they nettcd him $50 per head.
Considering the nine days the cattle were
in the cars during shipment, they were
probably the finest lot thrown upon the
Chicago market this season, and quite rs
fine as stall fed beeyes. Of this shipment
$50 head belonged to Mr.. Ford. Mr.. Ford
went east with his wife and three chill
dren, and while absent visited friends in
Canada, and has returned with his family
and nephew, who will make his home in
