during the present week.
A Clerical D,splts.
One Of those worldly disputes about
.dollsrs and cents which occasionally
trouble the placid careers Of our spIr-
itual superiors igas heard the other
day In Judge Dwinelle's Court. The
Rev. Dillon Eagan sued Bishop Kip
for his wages, amounting to $4,000,
which indebtedness the Bishop repu-
dated, just as an ordinary sinner
seeking to escape payment would have
done. It appears that Kip engaged
Eagan to of1clate In the pulpit Of st.
James Church at a salary of $3.50 per
month. After working In that fashion,
BILE fold for about eight months, a dis
pute arose and Eagan incurred the
wrath Of his Bishop. The result was
that while the, shepherds were quarrel
Ing the flock went astray, the church
was nearly ruined, and Eagan had to
resign. He then sent In . bill for
spiritual services rendered., but Kip
refused to recognize the debt, and
hence this action. From the insinu-
atoms made In the witness-box BY the
parties to the suit, 1t was evident that
the stock In trade of religion necessary
to start q clergyman in business Is very
small indeed. and that q bishop re-
quires still less. Eagan was nonsuited
on q technicality, and Will have to
recommence his action, but the Judge
intimated that some would have to
pay his salary, aud that the matter had
better be arranged without further
legal interference.
A Lottery Decision.
The Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue for this District, being In doubt
whether the Mercantile Library Asso-
citation was liable to pay taxes on the
gross receipts from the sale Of tickets,
| or only on the net proceeds Of the lot
terry, telegraphed TO Washington for a
decision. Tile reply received says TINT
all expenses must be allowed, n tile
tax then levied Oh the profits.
Lottery Brokers.
California street presented u curious
scene to-day. Just below Sansome q
dozen Jews took possession Of the SIDE
walk and erected tables, OH which they
spread out a tempting display of lot
terry tickets. Besides the Mercantile
Library tickets, they had Harrison
Street Homestead and Nevada County
Lottery chances for sale, and as every
.vender was shouting at the top Of his
voice In every possible style Of man
gled English, the effect can be better
Imagined than described. The ruling
price for Mercantile Libraries was 81,
with very few purchasers, as the I'M
preston Is that all that are wanted can
DO had on Wednesday, when the office
reopens. The %cheapness of the Harri-
son street tickets induced many to In
vest from two bits to a dollar. This
property. which Is literally valued Mt
100000, Is put on the market ut $4,000.
leaving a very nice margin for ex-
pcnseS aud unsoid tickets. The Ne
vada county arrangements has not been
sufficiently advertised, and Is n little
too obscure in Its details to command
confidence, 10 that the demand, rs far
as I could see, was strictly limited to
one drunken man, who. falling into
the clutches of an aged Hebrew, be-
came a victim to his persuasive powers.
shipmtnts Of Grain In Buih.
Isaac %FrIedlander, the Grain King,
having lately purchased the Vallejo
Elevator. Is going to try the expert
ment of shipping grain in bulk. The
amount Of money farmers now pay for
bagglng Is an immense. tax Oh the
value Of their products, and n relief
from It will add very materially to
their yearly profits.
A Peeticsl Less.
California has lately lost two Of her
best known and most admired poets.
Real poets, even II they are small
ones, are not so plentiful with us as to
make the loss unfelt, therefore, the de-
parture of Charles Warren Stoddard
for the South Sea Islands, and James
Linen for New York, leaves quite n
gap In our literary circles. Mr.. Stod-
dard Is contributing the result Of his
observations to the Bulletin, the first of
his letters, dated from Tahiti, having
already appeared In print. James
Linen intends to make his future resi-
dence In the Empire City. Like most
of Scotia's SONS, Linen has too great n
fondness for the rye, and often lets
whisky get the better Of him, But for
this falling. his pronounced and nc
knowleged abilities would have won n
fame not circumscribed by the limits
of California. JACK HoRNER.
