TIE OPERA HousE.-There were no
empty seats at the Opera House last
night. The great attraction was the pre-
sentation Of j. ]. McCloskey'S sensational
drama, founded on Bret Harte's poems,
entitled "Poverty Flat or California in
1s49." The drama Is q mirror Of mining
and city lie in the early days Of Califor.
mia, and well illustrates the trials and re.
wards Of the hardy Argonsuts.
In "Gracie," Mrs. Albaugh had com.
psratiyely little'to do, but did that little
well. Mr.. Albaugh's "Tom Flynn"
"Tom with his cheer
Tom without fear"
was eminently characteristic and natural.
But to our thinking Mr.. Mobiles, as "Joe
Mercer" gave the finest rendition on the
boards last evening. r'.s- ra
This afternoon this piece will be pre-.
sented for the last time, with the, accom-
panying cascade Of real water, calcium
light effects, new scenery, etc. The en-.
tire play has been put upon the stage with
Manager Fitzsimmons' usual liberality Of
expenditure for fine sensational effects.
AS this will be the only opportunity, all
should go and seeit.
To-nighta tremendous bill Is offered
Mir. and Mrs. Albaugh appearing for the
last time this season. There will be the
unusual number of three pieces-the first
the Venetian play OF mystery and celebri.
ty, entitled "Lucretia Borgia," known to
all amusement critics as the best play of
the style produced nowadays. The story
is interesting, the plot. highly wrought,
and the situation Of the characters thrill
ing and entertaining. The next play is
q prominent London acting piece, entitled
1.-THE Ship Of Death, or the Norwegian
Wreckers," showing that moral rectitude
eventually triumphs. The third is aglo-
riously comic piece, and the entire bill
will make an attraction long to be re-
membered. .'''
Monday night the popular star actress,
Miss Elite Henderson, will appear in
Little Sunshine"

SEVENTEEN BuLLETs.-We were told
yesterday that Msjor Sweeney has had
an extensive experience In the way Of
pistols and bullets, and that he has not
always come oil unframed either. He
has on his person the marks Of no less
than seventeen bullet wounds. Ono oil
these he received in California. and We
know not how many in Nicaragua, in
the Walker raid. The balance he receiv.
ed in the service OF the Southern Con-
federacy. We should think that he.mlght
rest on his laurels and not make himself
o target any longer.

So mild as to be safe and beneficial to

effectually purge out the great corrup-

Even where no disorder appears, people

A Sultan and Sultana.

Here is little picture of a Sultan
and Sultana of one of the Bornean-
principalities, whom NJ. de Beauvoir
saw at splendid fete given by the resi-
dent, Mynheer Hoogeven:
The Sultan is crooked little old
man, wrinkled, rheumatic, who chews
frantlcally paste of mixed lime and
betel, which blackens his teeth, keeps
his gums always freshly bleeding, and
closely packed between the teeth and
the under lip swells out, the latter nat
urally heavy and hanging in a hideous
way. But the Sultana is very pretty,
very little, very young, and bright
eyed creature, who returns the saluta-
lions of the Europeans with perfect
grace. Her dress is a loose robe of
silk, blue and gold a white scarf COW
ers her bosom, crossing it obllquely,
and kept in its place by twelve inter
laced crescents, forming brooch OF
fine diamonds, the most beautiful or
nament 7 ever saw; red turban, with
alarge knot of diamonds at the side,
frames her expressive merry, smooth,
bronze face. We observe cnriously as
we walk under the white arcades. in the
midst of groups of strange soldiery,
georgeously clad servants, smoking
vases in which delicious perfumes are
burning, and wondrous tropical flow
ers, while we organize with our amiable
host a grand crocodile hunt.
