FROM TIE CoUoSTEs.-The papers at hand, contain
little that viii interest our readers. Business Of all
kinds appears 10 be thriving and the Colonies are on
the highroad to substantial prosperity. Immigrants
continue 10 pour into New Zealand. and the papers
are beginning to hint that too little care is taken in
the selection Of the right kind Of men and women to
send out at the public expense. Australia and New
Zealand will ere long be united by a submarine tele-
graph cable. -
ENERsoN's ENGLISH COMBINATION has continued
to delight good houses throughout the week. Miss
Lizzie Watson and Mr.. Harry Braham are always
excellent in their duets, being both really finished
actors-Mr. Braham has a remarkable talent for
transforming his sosntenance. Emerson, whether
as the rollicking darkey. the philosophical imitator
of : Cheap John" - or as a stump speaker, is always
full of humor. Lottie. Frank, Katie and George,
have never before been equalled here on the ira
peze. His Majesty and suite will honor the COM
pany with his patronage this Saturday. evening.

"a NNSAN 49,
Il On g suspension Of the rules, Hon. Mr.. Nawnhi
presented a petition from o person named Kaaikauna,
praying that the sum of S32 be paid to him as salary
due, while acting as a school-teacher at Kealakomo,
in the district of Puma, Hawaii. Referred to the
Committee on Education.
Hon. Mr.. Kaai from the Committee who visited
Molokai, presented their report,
Hon. Mr.. Koakanu moved to accept.
The Minister of Interior said that he would not
refer to the points of the report of the Committee
which had visited the Leper Establishment on No
lokai. which had been so fully disposed of by the
Hon. Mr.. Wilder. There was one clause however,
which the Honorable gentleman had not consider
ed it necessary to enlarge upon, namely the sew
enth, on Drs. Akana and Powell, containing the
recommendation to appropriate $4,000 for them.
About Mr.. Akana he knew nothing, but he had re-
ceived a letter from Powell on the subject Of the
lepers and leprOsy, which might assist in giving
the House some insight into his abilities and judg-
ment, and although it was rather long he hoped
the House would patiently listen 10 it.

"SIR THE life of the flesh is in the blood
The child receives with his life the seeds of his
death. 1t may take one, or, one hundred years be-
fore the seeds bear their fruit, but just as sure as
the seeds of death ripen, life ceases that is to say,
the life OF the flesh gradually loses its l~ife-giVen
principle. and ceases TO give vitality to the body,
dies daily, until overburdened exhausted humanity
sinks into an untimely gravel
The Minister of Interior said that it was not
very clear what all this had to do with the subject
in hand he might have added that it was question
able whether an individual who had managed to
weather out one hundred years could strictly be
said to "sink into an untimely gravel

the body from contaminated blood, whether inner
tied or acquired by unnatural causes.
1t is the same with intangible as well as tangi-

THE MASTERS AND SERVANTS AoT.-This law,
commonly so-called, is included in the ten or twelve
Sections Of the Civil Code, which follow the 14l4th.
In previous sessions of the Legislature there have
always been attempts made to alter some one or more
of these Sections. in the supposed interest Of the
servant, and the present session, it appears, is to be
no exception in this respect. A bill was introduced
on Thursday to amend the 1420th and 1924 Sections,
the first providing that where the bound servant per-
.ists in refusing to return to his master, he may be
imprisoned from one to three months, in the discre-
tion of the Court, and at the expiration Of his term
of Imprisonment be discharged from his contract; the
second refers to cases where q master is guilty of
cruelty, or misusage of the servant, which being
proved to the satisfaction of C common magistrate,
he (the mastery may be imprisoned at hard labor for
not less than one nor more than three months. The
amendment here is to substitute imprisonment for
fine, as the Law now provides.

giving an account of the cruel desertiOn at the BONN

week, but which has since disappeared from our

q short period, and revolves around the sun in an
eccentric ellipse in a little more than three years. In
1922. '25, '28, '82, and at regular periods up to the
present time, this little flmy object has returned to
its perihelion, or nearest distance to the sun.

NEVADA GIFT LOTTERY.

By a decision of the Supreme Court
Of this State, this fine scheme. which
we have always denounced as a swim
die, has been decided contrary to law
and the constitution. and Mr.. Manager
Blanchard, who had been arrested for
selling lottery tickets contrary to 1.-THE
statute Ill such case made and pro-
vided,'' was remanded into custody
This action, we will explain 70 those of
our readers who are not acquainted
with the proceeding, was an applica-
ton on the part Of Blanchard to be
discharged from arrest for the above
alleged misdemeanor. The Court. in
is decision. says that this lottery sis
unauthorized by common law or valid
statute" and that the act of Mach Sd.
ISL, authorizing the Nevada Bcnevo-
lent Association" whatever the said
Benevolent Association may be, '.to
give not exceeding three gift concerts.
to sell tickets of admission to the same.
emitting the holder to participate in a
distribution of awards by rattle. etc."
is unconstitutional. This is as it should
be, and is a decided step i'll the right
direction. although we cannot charac-
t'rize the decision as showing any
I:s.led ABILITY, either in the way of
profound thought. deep research, or
c%learness of expressions: yet we are
content. and more than content. with
the result. Lotteries of whatever kind,
whether gotten up under the spurious
name of Gift Concerts" or "Gift En-
tcrtainments,' or the more honest
name Of lotteries have been found
l all ages of the world to be democrat
izins in the extreme, and attended
with the most p%erniciOus consequences.
1t matters not whether. as in this in
s anoe, they be instituted under the
n ,me of a Benevolent Association"
or ostensibly to further and promote
SOME charitable purpose, or for the
good of the church, the result is the
same.

TAXATION OF CHURCH PROP.
ERTY.

The people of New Jersey are now
being exercised in mind" over the
question as to whether church proper
~ should or should not be taxed. What
the resul may be we cannot predict;
but We believe that it is a matter in re-
gard to which a sound and just dis
elimination should be used. We be-
lieve church and State should be as
they now are = kept assunder; vet
churches, having as We think a bene-
tclal influence on society. no matter
what may be their peculiar doctrinal
tenets, so they inculcate a sound NOR
atty and a purity of lie and conduct.
should be foster and encouraged.
When poor and struggling for existence
we should be decidedly in favor of ex-
emptiny them from taxation; but
when, a. in some instances, they count
their property by millions, we think ii
a fraud on the rest of the community
that they SHOULD not contribute their
quota from their enormous ven to
the support of a Government which al
lows all men to worship God according
TO the dictates of their conscience.
