A Treat In store.

The Allen Sisters arrived last evening,
and will make their debut before our
pleasure-seekers tomorrow night. Mr..
Bartlett has shown commendable energy
and enterprise in securing what is univer-
sally conceded to be a first-class company,
and our citizens should show their appre.
citation Of his efforts by a liberal attend
ance. The performance will BIO such as
will prove of especial interest to the ladies,
and they need have no fear of attending.
The estimate in which they are held else
where can be CLEANED from the following,
taken from the San Francisco Chronicle
One of the largest and dressiest pleasure
assemblies that has yet gathered at the
Palace Opera House, congregated there
last evening to witness the FIRST appearance
here of the famous Allen Sisters and the
dramatic company by which they are as
sisted. At this hour there is little time to
give an extended notice Of the perform
ance; but when we say that these child
stars on the theatrical board display suti-
cient talent to please any audience, rural
or metropolitan, VT do them but simple
justice. The rendition of the ~laughable
extravaganza "Bombastes Furioso" was
superior to that of many We have witnessed
given by older actors, and kept the audi
ence convulsed with laughter throughout.
The songs and ballet were firs-class. As
the Allen Sisters gave full satisfaction last
evening, they may depend upon crowded
houses during their engagement here,
without particularizing further. The Al
len Sisters are all that is advertised Of
them, and more too.

The Black Hills.

The carbonate camp, says the Black
Hills " Central is now getting down to
its natural level, as many are now fleeing
from that whilom great malestrom of ex-
element and over-fed hopes as a few
months since rushed thither, and the more
influential and respectable Of the Colorado
press are now laboring to prove that they
have not been responsible for causing the
reckless rush, which has engulphed thou
sands in ruin. The Denver Tribune !"
comes out boldly and unqualifiedly i'll favor
OF discouraging further immigration into
Colorado at present, on the ground that
the local labor fields are all over supplied,
and a further inrushing would inevitably
be followed by a reaction of great depres-
sion, blasting the good name Of the State
for a long while.
But we believe what will be Colorado's
loss will be our gain in this matter. The
most substantial and enterprising Of the
disappointed multitudes at Leadville will
undoubtedly come to the Black Hills; and
here they will not be disappointed. Their
Leadville experience will eminently fit
them for pioneering in the Black Hills;
they will come among us knowing that
fortunes are not ordinarily picked up on
the ground in any gold and silver mining
country-knowing that hard, persistent
effort, as a rule, is a condition precedent Of
success in gold aud silver mining--and
here they will find in~exhaustible wealth,
not yet appropriated, awaiting develop
ment. They will prove real producers,
and, while enriching themselves, will con-
tribute to building up and rounding out
what must prove, in the f~ullness OF its de-
velopment, the wealthiest and most prom
Using section of the Union.

Goldstone & Scott added another part
ner to their firm yesterday, aud another
name to the next census. Mr.. Scott, who
has the greatest interest in the new addi-
ton, says he is the finest boy ever added
to Eureka's population-a statement which
his mother is willing to substan tate. and
one which we would not have the courage
to contradict, were we so disposed. A
Imaginable incident grew out Of this affair,
in which a young lady's faith in her pater
familias' rectitude was for a moment sadly
shaken. Mr.. Scott was too busily engaged
with home affairs to come down town, and
SO sent a note to a prominent legal gentle
man, requiring him to inform the SENTI-
SEL's reporter of the happy event. Now,
Mr.. SCOTS handwriting would be taken
at any time for that of q lady, and when
the note arrived at the Office of the gentle
man to whom it was addressed, he re-
quested the young lady in question to open
it, being under the impression that it was
an invitation Of some description. Judge
of her horror when she commenced to
read, "My dear Judge, I'm the father of a
bouncing boy" That was too much for
human nature, and a still worse catastro-
phe was only averted by the exercise Of pa
ternal authority in compelling the reading
Of the remaining portion OF the letter,
which saved the Judges scalp, and all is
still ''quiet on the Potomac"

IMMIGRANT SLEEPING CARS.
Timely Improvements by the Cen.
trail Pacific Company.

trail Pacific Company.
At their shops at Sacramento, says the
Bee, the railroad company is at present
engaged in fitting up twenty-five cars,
which are to be used for the transportation
of immigrants and emigrants to and from
the East, and which are a great improve
ment on those at present in use. The new
cars are being fitted with upper and lower
berths, somewhat after the manner Of ca
boose cars. The upper berths swing freely
on iron rods, and when not in use can be
hung up on the roof Of the car, where it is
not in the way. The lower berths are
formed from the seats, which are made up
after the manner of the present sleepers,
by turning down the back, etc. Stats are
then placed crosswise, and when laid out
the berths are exceedingly neat and COM
Portable. They will be a great convenience
to persons travelling third-class, as hereto
fore they nave been compelled to sit up or
make shift the best they could. The only
difference between those remodeled cars
and the regular sleepers Of first-class cars,
will be that the former will not be up
holstered. Another benefit which the COM
pany will derive from this improvement is
that they will be enabled to carry more
passengers in a car, from the fact that
heretofore only one passenger could be
placed in a seat, 80 that he could have an
opportunity to lie down, but now the
upper bertls will make sleeping room for
an extra number, and more can be accom-
modated. 1t is a merciful act on the part
of the company, as heretofore the immi-
grants and emigrants have been very IN
comfortable while travelling. Several of
the altered cars are already completed.

that we would not divulge it, that Mrs.

a royal reception. As Jimmy" is a pub

lowed a quantity of carbolic acid. Medical
assistance was Immediately called in and
relief afforded, and at a late hour this
morning she was considered out of danger.
