SINGULAR SUIT.-A case Of rather
singular nature was tried in Victoria the
other day. Il was entitled Winter vs..
Besyen, and was a prosecution by a
hack driver Of the Provincial Govern
mont. Mr.. Beaver, rs head of the Gov
eminent, hired Winters carriage for a
prominent part In the reception Of the
vico-regal party, the circumstances Of
which are told In tho complaint, "A fol-
lows: The actien was 70 recover the
sam Of 600 for hire Of carriage to con-
vey H. Il. n. the Princess Louise and
tho Governor General from Esquimalt
TO Government House on the occasion of
their arrival In this Province. The evil
dence adduced went TO show that the
defendant had employed the plaintiff to
furutsh twO-h0rAe carriage for the sum
Of $50, and on a subsequent occasion it
had been suggested that there should
b four hsrses instead Of two. In con
sequence Of this suggestion the plaintiff
went 70 some expense in re-painting
his vehicle and providing now set of
harness for the horses, a new suit Of
clothes for the driver and now whip
and other equipments. amounting. as
the plaintiff stated, to the sum Of $4Co,
the halt of which sum he sued for.
After due trial, judgment against de-
PENDANT was found in the sum of $3.50.
Though tho Judgment was against Bea-
ven personally, II II understood the Pro-
vinotal Government will pay the bill.

The Minister'S Drean,.

A writer in the Occident states that af-
ter reading recently in one Of the daily pa
pers an account of the celebration of
Thomas Paine's birthday, he fell asleep in
a chair and had e dream, which he thinks
may prove prophetic. He dreamed that
be was living in "the millennium of rea-
son and Of ruin" The churches were
denounced" on every side, and "saloons
and dance houses were eulogized." He
took up q paper Of the day and read the
announcement "that a glorious revi-
val of liberalism is in progress in the Ex-
celsior saloon every night. New converts
are being added daily to the army Of hard
drinkers. n 4 y A number of boys,
not more than 10 years old, have
learned to swear like troopers and take their
whisky straight. All praise and glory to
the Goddess of Reason and to her great
apostle, Thomas Paine" Looking along he
found, under the head of Casualties"
the ditchin8 OF "the night express train
over the Voltaire Transcontinental Rail-
way" whereby three carloads of passen-
gers were drowned, through the alleged
neglect of the switchtender, who was ESQ
busy praying that he did not hear the
whistle" And it was added: "The rail-
road company has issued strict orders that
every man in its employ who prays or
reads the Bible shall be discharged" In
another column hs found an account OF q
countryman being robbed at q revival
meeting in Gospel Alley, which led to the
arrest of the entire congregation and their
oommittal on a charge Of theft; also an
account OF the unwilling Of a statue of
Robert &. Ipgersoll."

DIVERSIONS IN LENT.

Although this is the season set apart
for CONCENTRATIONS of human sins and
their cure, it is a fact that at least one
half of the public are making it the
occasion of an earnest search for new
forms of amusement. This may seem
dreadful, but it is quite natural and not
entirely improper. Although the human
mind is a much enduring machine it is
notorious for it's inability to fix itself
upon one line of thought and action for
a long time, and the more exalted its
duties the shorter is the period in which
it can sustain them without change aud
relaxation. Many an ascetic has envied
the spiritual clearness and stability OF
aca~uaintances who seemed to be all the
while taking part in all things CHEEKY
that transpired about them, and many a
powerful and persuasive pulpit orator
finds much of his strength in never for
getting that he has a body to take care

ARTESIAN WELLS.
A Measure That the Present LeSis-
lature should Consider.

The State Legislature, or at least one
branch of it, says the Silver State, con-
cedes in its report on the Marker RECLAIM
alton bill that water for irrigating pur-
poses is of the greatest Importance to the
State. In view of this u%ndisputed propo,
sition, would it not be advisable for the
Legislature to enact a law to coura the
sinking of a~rtesian wells in Nevada? An
Act purporting to be for that purpose was
passed years ago, but its title is a misno-
mer, as is proved by the fact that in no
county in the State have the people at
tempted to comply with its provisions to
procure the so-calied bounty which it
offers for such wells. The Legislature
should amend that Act by making its pro-
visions more liberal to those who, in good
faith, undertake to sink wells, until what
is now considered by many IN experiment
is shown to be an assured success. State
and county aid in sinking a limited mum
Der of wells would encourage men of means
to Engage in the business, and if their eff
forts are crowned with success, the in
crease in taxable property that would re-
suit from transforming sagebrush plains
into fields of waving grain or alfalfa would
in a few years return the outlay with good
interest. There is scarcely a taxpayer in
Nevada that would object to paying a
reasonable bounty to an enterprising COM
pany or individual for sinking at least one
artesian well in every valley where there is
public land, to try the experiment of pro-
curing water from subterranean sources
for irrigating purposes.

SUNDAY FEBRUARY 25, 1ss;
The PASSION PLAY.

If those who object to the Passion
PLAY are DESTROYS OF completely turning
the tide of popular opinion and speedily
creating a vigorous demand for the pub
lie performance OF the play, says the
New York Herald, it is only necessary
for them to push their hitherto reasona-
bic and digni6ed protest to such arbi-
trary extremes that it becomes persecu-
ton of an individual. Those who insti-
gated the official action by which the po-
lice prevented the private rehearsal OF
the Passion Play by Mr.. Morse's COM
pany in a private hall before an invited
company, took the first step toward in
surfing its public performance. 1t is
clearly apparent that if the police have
the right to forbid such ar eminently
private, and therefore, so far as the COM
munity at large is concerned, entirely in
offensive performance, it makes them the
arbitrary censors Of everything a man
may undertake for his pleasure and en-
tertainment within the walls OF his
W home. As well might they forbid
private theatricsls in any drawing-room
in New York; the play selected did not
meet the favorable opinion Of the outer
world. With that rare talent for blum
dering which religious enthusiasts pos
sess to a remarkable degree the objec-
tors to the Passion Play have overstepped
the mark. At a time when 1t had be-
come generally known, through press re-
ports OF the preliminary rehearsals, that
Mr.. Morse had eliminated from the play
that which had been protested against,
or that it did not contain the presumed
Objectionable passages, the private dress
rehearsal is arbitrarily interfered with.
Could any step more promptly call forth
now a demand for the performance OF
the play as an assertion OF popular rights

ECCLESIASTICAL ~..KICKERs."

a correspondent, whose variety Is IN
dictated by his signature, "A Methodist
Preacher" under which name he modest
IL ~retires, pIaintiyely complains through
the New York Herald OF the ministers
who urge their poor, deluded brethren of
the cloth into unfortunate mining specu-
l~ations, and begs them in the future
when they know Of a good thing to keep
it to themselves. We have no doubt
that the correspondent is one of the
numerous unhappy diyines who have lost
their little all in the late lamented Isa-
bella mine, and who experience an IN
pleasant and aching void in the place
where they used to wear their pocket
books. This is very distressing, and We
feel for them as much as we conscien-
tiously can in their affection. At the
same time, We cannot deny that these
reverend gentlemen who are so loud in
their outcry against the naughty, naughty
men who deceived them are what might
be termed-ii they will excuse the
somewhat democratic, but expressive
term-ecclesiastical "kickers." A'kick-
err" in street parlance, is a man who
gladly accepts a point" and ~speculates
on it, but when he finds himself on the
wrong side of the market chicks" against
the loss. Had the mine been enormously
profitable, would a word have been said
against those who urged their brethren
to take a few shares? Certainly not.
The shares were taken ''for better or
worse" They turned out a good deal
worse than they were taken to be, it is
true, but it seems that the less complaint
made about it all, the better for the
ecclesiastical spectators. They never
should have abandoned the pulpit for
the mining market; having done so they
should quietly abide the merited result.
