THE STORM.
It 10 the Heaviest Since the Winter Of
180O-81,

IL - Iu0 1A00vIAhL StnO0 tho winner OI
186O-8l.
The heavy snow storm is generally
thought to be the greatest that has visited
Montana since the memorable winter oi
1SSO-S1, when the streets Of Helena were
packed with huge banks Of snow, on Nair
street it being shoulder high. About
twenty inches on the level il computed "a
be the depth, so far, by Sergeant Hobbs, Of
the United States signal service. Some
people think 1t 10 deeper, and II Is in places.
Up on the slopes Of Mount Helena four feet
Ia said to be a good average OF the depth.
Tho Northern Pacific and Montana
Central roads have been hindsred in
their traffic somewhat, but the rotary
snow plows now used on all western roads
have brought speedy relief, but are still in
use to prevent b~lockades. Traffic on the
street car lines was not impeded yesterday.
The companies kept gangs Of shovolers
along the car tracks and managed to keep
things clear. Most OF the hacks have been
placed on runners and move about without
any difficulty. A few of them are still run
ming on wheels but find it hard wheeling
when they get out of the streets whore the
traffic 10 heaviest.
Stockmen do not like the looks Of things.
The snow il already too deep for stock to
find much feed and in most cases tho cattle
and sheep men are drawing upon their
stacks which have been held just to meet
such emergencies AZ the present. To the
farmers, however, the heavy fall OF
snow in the mountains means a good deal.
1t means plenty ofAwater in the spring and
summer if a thaw does not come before
then. 1t also means green fields and good
crops instead of parched land in summer
and going to law to fight over irrigation
rights.
The barometer at the signal Office late
yesterday was normal and from all the in
d~ications at hand the observer thought the
storm would hold on for some time yet.
He thinks it is the same great storm which
struck the Pacific coast some time ago in
the shape of rain. From the home of the
blizzard, north of the British line, comes
tho information that it is showing heavily
there and but little wind, somewhat like
the condition here. This also confirms Ser
geant Hobbs in his opinion that we are to
have a protracted storm.
At We O'Clock this morning the following
places reported:
Hope, Idaho: Clear. calm, % above; no
snow.
Thompson Falls: Cloudy, blowing and
drifting.
night; drifting bad.
Garrison: Showing and blowing hard;
drifting badly: five inches snow.
Townsend: Cloudy, calm; seven above;
five inches SNOW on level.
Bozeman: Clear, calm; four below, three
foot
Miles City: Showing; light east winds;
fifteen inches snow on level.
Billings: Clear, calm; four above; eight
inches snow. 4
Livingston: Clear, calm; fifteen above;
six inches snow.
Glendive: Cloudy, light southeast winds;
eight above; showed one inch. ~

QUEER THINGS IN CHINA.

IT is the custom in many parts of China to tie white cock to coffin and then sacrifice 1t on the grave.
 BEGaARs are an organized guild in China. They abound everywhere, and in the north their only garment, if any, is tattered sheepskin-
 IN Shanghai and in many other places in China the crows build and raise their broods in the trees of the city. On ac- count of the Buddhist reverence for all life, no one harms them.
 THE junls, whether at sea or on the river, arc a perpetual terror to the steamer captains. The masters of the junks believe that if they can cross 0 moving steamers bows close at hand it will bring them good luck for the year.
 IT is custom very ancient and very common in China for anyone who has Q grievance against anyone to get upon some elevated place and bawl it out to the neighborhood. Thus women on the roofs of the houses yell forth their do mestic grievances.

THE oosPEL TRUTH.

IF you are praying for a revival don't do 1t on a back seat
 IT is not the longest sermons that awaken the most sinners.
 A PREACHER with the big head Is 8 man the devil loves to look at.
 IF you are praying for revival don't go to church with your gloves on.
 PREACHERS and churches who please everybody are the kind who never have reviva1s.
 IT doesn't do much good for the man to pray for a revival who will not pay his debts.
 THE man who goes to church much hears a great deal of preaching that hits other people.
 THE reason that some of our churches are so dark spiritually is because the people themselves want to do the shin ing.
 IF preachers would bear continually in mind that they are working for God there wouldn't be so much anxiety about wages.
 A GOOD many preachers try so hard to feed few giraffes in their focks that they let the sheep and lambs starve to death.-Ram's Horn.

A pretended identification of the vic tim of Long Islands latest murder mys- tery, at Glendale, has just been exposed and logical theory as to the crime itself thus knocked into smithereens. In the case of the long unknown "M. E. J." at Tarry town, a similar case of false identi- fication first perplexed and then relieved and then dumfounded the authorities. And still further back there were re- corded the various identifcations of the Astor house suicide. Other cases of like nature will be recalled by readers, and more of them occur which never saw the light of publicity. Not in all these ir- stances is the false testimony given a mistake. In more than one of them the declared identifier is almost seIf-evident- ly the victim of a morbid or a reckless desire for notoriety in connection with the tragedy in hand. Desire works upon imagination, and the result is, as in the "M. E. J." affair, or in the Glen dale mystery, a story so clever that even trained detectives believe it until it's utter falseness is demonstrated.

and has agreed to loan me for the evening the band of the Monocacy, which Is undoubtedly the best in Japan. It will furnish an accompaniment dur ing the recital and will play during the jnterludes.
 have heard that Americans always feel ashamed of the Monocacy when they come here, because the picturesque old craft, which has been here for twenty-six years, contrasts so poorly in appearance and efficiency with the warships of other foreign nations in these waters. can truly say that of the personnel, courage and gallantry of her officers and crew, their patriotism and their keen sense of duty, their fel- low countrymen have excellent reason to be proud. Among the crew, indeed, I understand there are very few native born Americans; however, they are all ways the first on shore to assist at fire or in any public event and are exceed ingly popular with the authorities. believe the Monocacy's band has never until now played at a professional per formance.
 The time is drawing so near when will be once more in an English-speak- LAS W1CIlAu odIly native land and of New York, the city which dearly love, that 1t is natural for you to ask my plans for the near future.
 Personally-there are many delicate and y-misunderstood reasons for a continuance of the policy of reticence which have thought it due to myself and my family should preserve since my professional debut.
 Professionally-I am still at sea, inas- much as my inclinations draw me one way and the pecuniary interests of those who are near and dear to me, as well as my own, seem to draw in another direc- tion. From the newspaper clippings you have sent me, gather that the an nouncement has been made that MT. Bellew and will appear In London and the provinces In "Hero and Leander" and other plays in which we have not been seen in Great Britain or America, beginning at an early date this fall. This may or may not be so. At present the statement is unfounded.
 Until I arrive in London, the first week in August, my arrangements for the professional future will be unset tied; they may depend more largely than you think on personal and private affairs, which I can readily explain face to face, but about which am 10th to write even to you.

 Extracts from her letter written in Yokohama to the gentleman in this city who has charge of the preparation of her memoirs are as follows:
 YOKOHAMA, Club Hotel, June 12, 1891. My DEAR: Just line from beauti- full Japan. I give recital here tonight, and tomorrow morning sail for Europe on the Peninsular & Oriental steamer, the Ancona. This will land me in London by the P. & o. steamer, Ravenna, on August 4. How long to be once more in touch with my native land. For nearly a year I have not seen an American newspaper outside of the few clippings you have sent me, and since I left home, for America is still my home, the 'land of my birth and pride," have not seen half dozen of my fellow countrymen. One met on Christmas day at Sidney, New South Wales; it was so warm that we were dining out of doors, and had my picture taken at the dinner table with a half emptied glass of Australian c1aret in front of me. wrote you that I paid seventy-fve thousand dollars of my Australian earnings for a sheep ranch up in Bushland. I have almost con- cluded to make another investment in that marvellous country, in the pur- chase of vineyard adjoining the one on which was made the wine which I am represented as drinking in this pie ture. It is an excellent red wine, and ought to be something of judge.
 Our performance here tonight, which is a recital in which I will have the as- sistance of number of amateurs-you know have warm feeling for anna teurs, having so lately been one myself will be our only appearance in Japan. Admiral Belknap, who is in command of the United States steamship Mon ocacy, has been exceedingly kind to me

Swiss Peasantry.

The asylum that anarchists of all European countries have made of Swift zerland has never been regarded favor ably by the Swiss peasantry. They have been impervious to all attacks of socialistic oratory, and in order to make
 more distinct resistance against so- cialism, peasant associations-under the name of 'Bauerbunde"-hav been founded in several parts of German Switzerland. The movement has two newspapers, one of which advocates this policy for the government: ''The abolition of public festivals and gov ernment pensions, opposition to all su- perfluous expenditures of the state, and improved education" Unknown to Fame.
