The GROWING EviL.-Wilkes' Spirit Of
tie Times comments on what he calls the
unfortunate ~''growing evil" Weheartily
indorse his remarks, and so will the pa.
irons not only Of Piper's Opera House,
Virginia, but also of the Gold Hill
Theater, where Barrett and Mccullough
once made fools Of themselves. The
Spirit says: "It is about time that the
press should notice q fact which has,
we regret to add, been Of late too APP
parent. We refer to the attempts Of
some Of oNr dramatic artists 10 go
through important parts in popular
plays while in a state altogether too
nearly approaching inebriely. There
must be a stop put to this, if the pro-
fession is not to lose the respect of the
public. No one has a more important
duty to perform than the actor. He i,
during engagement the servant OF his
director and the public, and fails in
his duty to both when he appears upon
the stage drunk, or when he cannot, at
the proper time, appear because OF his
drunkenness. Nothing a be more
disagreeable than to see IN otherwise
iue performance msrred by the inefrec-
tual attempts Of an actor who has lost
hispowerst through overdriuking; and We
hope that if anything more OF the sort
is to be witnessed here, the press in
general will take the matter in hand,
and severely csstigate NIL offenders"

The very party which is now trying to

Of the age.

CIRccs RsLicIoS.-An exchange says
that in Chicago q large tent, 10 feet
diameter and 80 feet high, has been
constructed, to be used in canrassing
Kaneas in a religious way. 1t has
raised seats and two smaller tents for
the conductors. Now it strikes US that
this sort Of big portable canvas church
would be just the very thing 10 canvass
the numerous hardened sinners in this
section, especially up at Horntown,
although that is not Sc largo as Cas-
tello's circus tent. The only improve
ment we could suggest TO the style
would be a few side shows arranged
about the inside, representing Daniel in
the lions den, Shadrach aud others in
the fiery furnace, E'ijah's svenging
bears, etc. Something sensational Of
this kind is really required to properly
stir up the spathetic H~orntowners to n
realizing sense of their iniquity.

CALIFORNIA FINANCES The Aha Of
the 25th instant has the following in
teresting article in its commercial
column; Money is working easy and
quiet. The supplies in the general mar
kets are getting better. The surprising
strength which all branches of business
exhibit financially, under all v%icissi-
tudes of the currency, is due to the
sound nature Of the mode Of doing
business. The occurrences Of the past
year have suficed, had they occurred in
any other city, TO have shaken down
every business firm. Here it has no
other effect than to curtail the volume
of business. When people have lost
money, it has been mostly their own.
They were less rich than before, and the
story was told. There are nc wide
spread affiliations Of credit which may
be involved in n common ruin by the
stoppage of one. A great number may
be ruined by unfortunate individual
operations, and the mass not be affected
at all. The people Mt large are prosper.
Gus and are accumulating money, There
are those who do not reason very pro.
fouudly that suppose n paper money in
troduced here would improve circum-
stances, and for confirmation point to
the East, where an apparent prosperity
exists contemporary with paper money,
and not because of it. The only barrier
between Eastern finances and ruin are
sales Of stocks to Europe. In five years
81, 200, 900, 900 have been sold for $780,
900, 900. That Is, for FIVE successive
years Sl7o, 600, 900 por anuum has boon
received from Europe on bonds, which
must, sooner or later, 10 paid. The
running up of that vast debt has KEEP.
up a show Of prosperity. 1t is lot the
use Of paper money which has done It.
To prosper in the same way, 1t would
be necessary for the State Of California
to create and sell $40, 900, 900 six per
cent. gold bond, per annum rs long rs
the bonds could be sold, and would
cause mn appearance of great prosperity
until payday arrived. That is what
the East are doing. It is not United
States paper money, but English and
German gold, borrowed ut an enormous
interest, which keeps up the show of
wealth. Even if we are to suppose the
money never to be paid, the mere ceas-
ing TO borrow is financial ruin"
