There is nothing small or niggardiy
about Montana socialists. If Mr.. Will
Kennedy of Missonla, a member Of the
territorial council, may be taken as a
fair representative. The Pioneer Press
acknowledges the receipt of q copy of
Council Bill No. 7, entitled "A Bill for
an Act Regulating lnheritances," which
provides that no person, except a cor
poration for benevolent, educational or
scientific purposes, shall be allowed to
take either by will or inheritance prop.
erty exceeding 81 .0O0,0 600 in value. II
the estate is worth more than that
amount, and there is next of kin. or no,
enough Of them to eat up the surplus al
the rate Of a million apiece, then the
balance of the estate shall escheat to the
territory. We suspect, however, that
Mr. Kennedy is not quite a fullfledged
socialist for if he were he
would have inserted a provision for a
general distribution of all this escheated
wealth. At any rate, he shows a mos,
generous spirit in fixing the limit at one
million. Some men would have been
mean enough to cut the sun down to
half that amount.-Pioneer Press.

New York, Jan. 29.-The most brilliant
surgical case yet recorded is an opera
ton recently performed at the Cham
bers Street hospital. In this case prece-
dent was openly defed and the attend
ing surgeons saved a human life and
performed an operation Of a kind that
never before had been attended with
success. One McElroy was shot, the
ball stopping at some point within the
abdominal cavity. A consultation was
held, and it was determined that death
would speedily ensue unless relief was
afforded in some manner; and heroic
treatment was decided upon. Within
twenty hours after being shot McElroy
was transferred to the operating table.

The Chicago Tribune tells the follow
ing good one on L. NJ. Haines, who for
while ran the state of Illinois, owing
to the lack Of self.respect shown by its
assembly. When Haines went to
Waukegan he was considered a catch
among the churches. The Congrega-
tionalists got the first grip on him, but
he had not been in the fold q week be-
fore he had the brethren by the ears, so
that they were obliged to &c rid of him.
The Baptists next took him. He was
immersed and admitted, and for a time
everything was lovely. 1t was not long,
however, before the entire flock was in
an uproar, and, as usual, Haines was
found to be at the bottom of it. To save
the church from disruption he was
thrown over and peace was restored.
The Methodist church, which embraces
all classes and has vigorous means Of
discipline, solicited his membership.
He joined, but it was not a month be-
fore the whole church was on an anxi
GUS seat, querying whether it was best
to acknowledge failure by getting rid of
him or to fight it out at the risk Of
smashing up the whole concern. In
this dilemma one Of the elders went to
/ Haine's house, where he was discovered
praying upon the front steps that the
Lord would take him (Haines) and send
him to hell as speedily as possible.
when the appeal was finished remon-
strated with the latter for his lack Of
Christian spirit. The latter replied that
n he wa only doing his Christian duty,
for il Haines once got to hell he was the

Four finds of scarce books have lately been
made in the most unexpected quarters-namely:
at their publishers, the works being Miss Strick-
lands Lives of the Queens of Scotland" eight
volumes; Count Montaembert's Monks of the
West" seven Volumes Prof. Cosmo Inness
Sketches of Early Scotch History and Walter
Savage Landor's Works" eight volumes All
these have been for many years out of print, and
described in booksellers catalogues as scarce,
none of whom have the slightest suspicion that
large numbers ofcopies were laid away, forgotten,
in the publishers warehouse. Their advent upon
the market was very unpleasant surprise to
many, who having purchased at the old prices,
have now to compete with the reduced ones a.
which thew are being offered.

The Priyate's Glory,

Sweet little Major, he mounts my knee,
And the tender blue eyes look at me,
Tell me, Popsie. just once more.
What did you do when you went to warE"
And then tell of the autumn day
When the Forty seventh marched away;
How Cromwell died at jackson town,
And Miles on Corinth field went down.
"Eut how many rebels. tell me true,
Did you kill then, and the whole war through"
And tell him then, with eager zest
How 10 Reed blew up timber chest.
But the Major sticks to his question still,
How many rebels did you kills"
So / tell him how near the set of sun,
The charge was made and the battle won;
And how. the day Mcclure was shot.
When Vicksburg fight was fierce and hot
Brave Sam Law took Company @ in
Through fame and smoke and the batteries din;
How over our heads the battle broke
With screaming shell and saber stroke,
And he wanted to know, the little elf,
"But how many men did you kill yourselff"
"Say, tell me, Popsie, say You will
How many rebels did you kll?"
So told him the truth, as near as might be-
As many of them as they did of me.
