A farewell party was given to Ben. @.
Levy and his estimable wife at the Opera
House last evening, which was in every
respect q most enjoyable affair, and showed
how closely that couple had entwined itself
about the affections of those in attendance
since their s%ojourn in Eureka, and the
parting at midnight was one Of universal
regret. Mrs. Levy will be missed from
the social circle here, as will also her voice,
whose sweet warnings has so often been
heard in the noble cause Of church and
charity. We are also sorry to lose Ben's
genial smile, and hope that the ducats he
has honestly laid by here may afford him
and his the comforts of q better life in the
great metropolis, which is to be his future
home. Among the ladies present at the
party last evening we noticed the following:
Mrs. r. L. Chase, Mrs. w. P. Haskell.
Mrs, Selden Hetzel, Mrs. J. H. Shoemaker,
Mrs. @. l.. Broy, Mrs. B. f. McEwen,
Mrs. Hiram Crowell, Mrs. Lambert Moli-
nelli, Mrs. Ed. Leventhal, Mrs. Thomas

The drop-curtain Of the Opera House,
displayed his genius, has been unfolded to
public vie~ sooner than we expected, as
such affairs are generally kept concealed
until tho opening night of the theater, in
order that the patrons of the house may
share in the pleasures OF a first sight.
However, We can pardon the innovation
in the present instance, as Mr.. Laycock's
work is not Of such a nature as to be taken
in at a hasty glance, but may be seen and
admired again and again. Tit scene is
laid in Venice, the foreground represent
ing the waters Of the Adriatic and the
main part the Exchange and Custom-house
whose domes kiss a sky OF the most deli
cate haze, while receding on either side
OF the massive buildings are the palaces Of
the city, arranged with exquisite skill, and
fading from view like a vision Of fancy
painted there. The waters are alive with
craft, and the small boats, yachts and gon-
dolas fairly dance upon the waves, which
q slight breeze fans into white caps, offer
ing a beautiful contrast TO the natural blue
of the main. The picture Is bold, but not
loud. 1t is pleasing and striking at the
same time. The gray and dark colors OF
the buildings are laid on with artistic taste,
and blend in beautiful harmony with the
tropic skies. The proscenium drapery is.
as usual, Of a rich red and gold, and
throws out a perfect glow Of warmth. 1t
hightens the effect very much, and is a
happy conception OF the artist. In the
center Of the drapery is pretty little scene
OF q local nature. This represents q min
ing camp in a narrow canyon in the noun
tains, with n quartz mill in the foreground
and a train Of cars running over some high
trestie. work, as an evidence OF approaching
civilization, in the dim distance. Under
meath appears the motto, "All For Our
Country" Mr.. Laycock has done his
work well, and the Opera House can boast
OF as fine a curtain and surroundings as
there is on this coast. The gentleman is
now engaged on the scenery for Forget
Me Not" and this will no doubt be in keep
ing with the rest OF his work. This. added
to the handsome manner the play is to be
mounted and the lovely toilets to be worn
by the ladies. will afford a rich treat for
the amusement-l loving public Of Eureka on
Saturday evening. We are assured that
the dresses Of both Mrs. Cole and Miss
Lansing will rival those OF the professional
ladies who appeared in the same characters
in San Francisco recently. United with
the handsome stage presence Of the ladies,
the effect will be simply superb.

THE RAILROAD QUESTION.
Another GrowI.

EUREKA, Jan. Is, 1881.
EDITOR SENTINEL: In reading over the
communication from Citizen in Leader
of the 18th. I cannot but reply to a few
statements made by I" Citizen"
First OF all he insists on saying that there
is no subsidy asked for from any Of the
counties. Now, granting this subsidy to be
only a loan, I would like to ask Citizen"
Would he, as a private individual, lend a
corporation $500, 600 on such security as
they offer and without being certain that
such money would bring him good inter-
est? Now, this corporation asks such a
loan from the counties that have no sur
plus, consequently would have to give their
bonds TO accommodate this corporation
without the surety Of ever getting any re-
turns for the same. As q plain, business
proposition, anybody can see that the
counties would surely not be the gamers.
Furthermore, he quotes as q comparison
the cities OF Baltimore and Chicago. This
comparison is simply absurd. These cit
les with large populations and their i'm
mense commercial and agricultural re-
sources can impossibly be compared to the
desert country over which this road is to
pass III why oONt hC nv 4ubtC tnC nun
dreds Of counties and cities that have lost
their money in granting such loans? No,
l think by the style in which Citizen +"
writes, he must surely be one of the inter-
ested parties himself. I grant that the
projected road would be Of some benefit
to the counties through which IL is to pass,
but would il be worth throwing them in
debt in order to let these few " prominent
citizens build the road with their $780,
600? / am sure these prominent citi-
zens did not project this road purely to
benefit the counties. / rather think the
largest share OF such benefits, il there ever
be any, will fall to their lot. Calling this
subsidy only a loan is q ruse to blind the
! people, and the bill now pending should
not be passed. II some prominent and
disinterested taxpayer would circulate q
petition to prevent the passage Of the Per-
ley bill he would find hundreds Of tax
payers only too willing to sign the same.
II those prominent men are so very sure Of
success, let them incorporate a company,
and if they will show the people such a
good thing as they claim it is, they will
find plenty Of capitalists who would invest
their money in preference to other invest
ments, and the road could be built with
out burdening the counties.
In conclusion, I will state that the un-
dersigned is neither q Central Pacific
tiunky nor has he any personal reason for
opposing this subsidy, but only speaks
what he thinks is in the best interest Of
all those who have to toll for their daily
bread. A Pooh TAXPAYER.

We have received the full text Of Senator
Perley's bill "To Encourage the Construc-
ton Of a Railroad from the Town of Eu-
reka to the Colorado River" but its length
prevents our publishing it in full in this
issue.
The following is a synopsis Of its pro-
visions:
Section l grants the franchise to the
Eureka and Colorado River Railroad Com
pany. a corporation organized Jan, 1881,
Of building the road to a point on the Col
orado river at the Town OF Callville.
Section 2 directs the County Commits
sioners Of Eureka county to issue bonds
of the county to the amount Of 500, 600
to be delivered to the said company in ex-
change for an equal amount of the fully
paid up capital stock of said company at
par. Similar provisions as to White Pine
and Lincoln counties save that the amount
is $500, 900 in each county.
Section 3 provides that within twelve
months, and as soon as thirty miles Of the
road are built, the County Commissioners
of Eureka shall transfer the bonds for the
stock. As soon as fifty miles are built in
White Pine, her commissioners to do the
same. Ditto, Lincoln.
Section 4 directs the chairmen of the
several county Boards to make the sub
~scription on the books Of the county.
Section s calls for bonds to bear interest
~semi-annually at 10 per cent per annum,
and to run twenty YEARS.
Section 6 provides that as soon as the
conditions are fulfilled the transfer shall
be made-certiicate of Surveyor General
or County Surveyor to be conclusive evil
dence that said conditions are fulfilled.
Section 7 directs the commissioners to
levy annually a tax to pay the interest and
form a sinking fund for the redemption of
the bonds.
Section s provides for a separate fund, to
be called The Railroad Interest and Sink
ing Fund, /" for the reception Of these taxes.
Section 8 provides for the redemption Of
the bonds by the counties.
Section 10 gives the counties the right to
trade back the stock for the bonds when
the company tenders them.
Section IL directs the counties TO divide
their profits from dividends between the
School and General Funds.
Section IL pledges the faith of the State
of Nevada to the purchasers Of the bonds.
There is no provision for any vote by the
people OF the subsidies.

The Robbin~ and Reward.

On Tuesday night one Of the boldest
robberies ever perpetrated in Eureka was
successfully accomplished in the room Of a
loo ging house. 1t was In Miss Lotta's (of
Charley Lautenschlager's beer hall) room
that the robbers attempted to " strike the
sack" By reference to our advertisements
it will be seen that they failed and only
obtained some jewelry. The advertise
ment is put in in good faith. II the party
will return the same they will get q reward
and no questions asked. 1t has been fully
described to every p~awn-broker on the
Coast, and may lead to trouble II exposed
to view or Offered for sale. The party who
made the raid on the room must have been
around there before, but it 10 nonsense to
go for the sack. SO Lolita says, and she

surpr,se Parties.

1t is very surprising. indeed, says the
San Francisco Public Opinion. that the
poorer the people the more given are they
to fashions and customs which do not tit
them-which do not become them. Just
look over the list in our society paper, and
You'll be astonished to see the surprise par
ties given to people who cannot even afford
a decent chair in the house, and attended
by those who nave to borrow a dress 'or a
coat OF a pawnbroker for the occasion.
Last week a family with manageable
daughters were surprised-that is, the
girls told some gentlemen friends that they
would like to receive a surprise visit. and
thus "see their names in print" The
looked for sarprise came off; young men
and women to the tune of fifty, or more,
| called, but brought nothing but their
| empty stomachs with them, and the host,
| though quite wealthy, offered few oranges,
| each cut into sixteen parts, q few apples
| similarly divided. and a few peanuts. This
is rather a cheap way Of advertising mar
riageable girls, and we beg to say, that pre-
arranged surprise parties are nuisanees
| ANYWAY.

CARSON CRY, Jan. II, 1881.
EDITOR SENTINEL Yesterday being Sun
day, by way of keeping up my moral
habits, as usual. / went to church, both
morning and evening. The morning SER
vices we're passably fair, with a remarkably
large congregation, and the evening had a
crowded house Of intelligent looking peo-
pie. The preacher, a Methodist, APP
preached the stand, a tall, large man, look
ing more like he was going to banter his
hearers for a fi%sticuff, than TO approach the
divine presence of his Lord and Master.
His text was from some part of the old
Scriptures, which says When the peo-
pie have q good ruler they rejoice, but
when the wicked rule they mourn" and
the entire discourse was made in abuse Of
our Legislature making no exceptions,
even Brother Hammond caught it the same
as the other wicked scribes. He described
the Legislature as o wicked set, who were
bought up like so many cattle that they
were here under purchase, and were ready
to sell themselves at any moment that the
Senator had bought his way to the U. s.
Senate that they were a corrupt body, and
had been selected by a corrupt and de-
graded constituency, and nothing but cor
rupt legislation could emanate from such Q
people, and the people must mourn -
that they had men legislating for the State
who were selling whisky, and leading 20
corrupt a life that they deserved to be in

the CRATES. He never said the Democracy
once, but that fact was a ruling luminosity
Of the puritanical divine, who proclaimed
there was not enough gold in the United
States TO buy him from the right princi-
pies. just at that moment a lady sitting

more of it for me. Perhaps the divine
had heard a good deal, and took it for
granted that all he heard and all he had
read in the papers was true, and delivered
his sermon on that basis. The truth is,
that the present body. both Senate and As
sembly, are a material improvement on
former bodies. Very few drink to excess
