1Ae coutlnueQ intense not weather does not
seem to deter our opera goers from turning
out in full force, as the audience was fully as
large, though perhaps not quite as brilliant,
as on the preceding night
|, This opera was written By Verdi when in
his prime, and did more than any other Of his.
compositions to make his reputation and pre-
serve it up to the present time. The audi.
ence we're rather cold, and did not exhibit
that enthusiasm which WIS SO noticeable on.
other occasions. This may be attributed to
+. the fact that Ernsni has been performed but
seldom Of 1ate, and never before, we believe, In
Chicago. This performance vas made the occa-
sion OF The debut Of sjgnor Maccaferri, the
robust tanor, who possesses the ut de portriae,
or in othtr words, who is able, to give the
high with The chest tone. He WIS received
very indiferent1y, and it WIS only as he con-
quered the apathy Of tho audience, and
showed his ability to compel their applause,
that he obtained his uerited reward. To his
power as singer, he also adds, what is unu.
fnal in teDozs, the excellence of good actor
This was also the debut Of Amodio, {brother |
fthe great Anlodio,) who possesses abaritone
vuice, Of rare beauty. Madame Lorini sus-
tafned the part Of Elvira, and in E,nani III |
reliant and various other solos produced
marked seneation. Susini as Silva gave full
effect TO the character. He is thorough and
complete artist, and every appearance I'M
presses this fact more and more upon his an-
eience. TIE second act was particularly 1ne,
:. and We may say in general that all the en-
s.m1te we're brought out in spirited manner.
We just begin to have true appreciation Of
Grau's company. The artists possess CREST
variety Of splendid talent, from which there IL
much enjoyment get to be derived.
Tonight 1fycrbeer's Open Of Dinorah will
be given. It is replete with the most attrac !
tive features, andeannot but be well received
srrear in oil bis well earned honors. As his
performances hare created great excitement
fur many consecutive nights in Eastern cities,
ws may look for one Of the most entertaining
evenings Of tho seasoo. Seats can be pro
cuIla at Higgins, -. :. .-,..
ONE WER FROM To-pAr.-The Pic Mic

takes place week ftom to-day, and several
thouEand persons will probably mike 1t
gala day, and participate in tho festivities.
Those who want to spend q day pleasantly,
away from the din and dust Of the city-to
fu1get business, with It's cares and perplexl-
tics, tor time, cannot do 1t mort cittctually
than by joining the excuraionists on that oc-
cesIop.- There each can follow, the bent Of
Of his or her inclination. The broad blue
lake is before us, inviting us to row, or to sail
"r fish. with all the prerequisites ut hand;

Every arrangement that can be conceived Of
by the committee, to add to ths pleasure of
the party, have been made. As there will be
trains running out and back all daT, there
need be no particular rueh, either On tho way
or at the grounds. Read the advertisement,
and make your arrangements to go.
+ RECEIVED HIS REwARD.-Much annoYance
has been experienced Of late by TIC residents
III the yicI1ity Of the Burlington Railroad
crossing from the conduct Of three young
rowdiet, who live in the neighborhood. It is
STATED that nearly every woman whom thcy
have met, has received from them more or
less insult and this is particularly the case with
young school girls, to whom they would make
the most indecent oyerturcs. They have writ
ten notes md sent them TO married aud single
women, desiring interviews, etc. These pro.
cccdipgs have, naturally enough, created =
breeze, and the FIST men hare been notified
t- citizens to lcare or they will be summarily
eenlt with The other day one Of them car
ried note to the wife Of railroad conduc~
tor, asking he. to meet linn at q certain
Place. The wife instantly shoxed the note to
her husband, who at once followed the fel-
low, and before he had gone block caught
him. He threw his left arm around the
scoundrels neck and thus holding him t'ln
chancery,'' administered cruel but most de-
served poInmeliag With his right fist lie
rounded his f4te out Of all shape, and SO.
ye1ely punished his two associates who cane
to the rezcuc Of their partner in guilt.
RESISTING IN ENROLLING Orr1cra.-Afew
Gays since, We ch1onicled the arrest Of wo-
,nun, and her subsequent examination before
| u. 8, Commissioner Hoyne, on the charge Of
1tsistIng IN enrolling officer in the discharge
Of his duty. The case was clear one, aad
ehs was held to bail In 81 .0o0, to answer. Yes
tcrIay slrnilar case WAS brought before Mr.
Hoyne, the atsaultIng party this tina being
| also awoman, ono Biary Murray. residing on
South Clark street, between Liberty and
Twelfth streets. Enrolling Officer A. Il. Car
Ter. Of the Sd Ward, called Mt the house oget
the name Of the occupant, when Mrs. Murray
| Sc ized hatchct, and threatened to cut his

forthwith. Hcr arrest followed, and upon an
examination, she was held in $500 bail, to On
| swer any Indictment that might be found
| against her by the next grand jury Of tic o.
| S. Court.
We do not apprehend that these cases Of re-
tistance to the operations Of the oonseript
law Will become very frequent In this city.
The fact that Provost Marshal James is at all
Times ready to meet and punish the Offenders,
viii, We think, prove an efficient antidotc.
:. EoR7HwEsTEns UHivEns1TY.-The annual
examinations of the Northwestern University
closed on Tuesday. During their progress,
abundant evidence was given Of close applica.
ton On the part Of the students, and efficient
instruction On the part Of the Faculty. PROT:
! Oliver Morey, who fills the chair Of Natural
Science, has won golden opinions for himself
during this, bis first year in the West. He is
gentleman Of extensive aud accurate schol.
a1ship-an enthusiast in his department, and
he lnfuEes his own spirit into the breasts of
bis pupils. While the chairs Of our Western
colleges are flied by such men there need be
no fear but that our home institutions will
sesume and maintain such positions that they
need not fear comparison with older colleges
In The East. s -. -
