The OPERA HoUsE-Augnstd Ddrgon
This talented lady gave her second
performance at the Opera House last
evening, and was greeted with large
audience and rounds OF applause. In her
rendition of deborah Miss Dargon
added fresh laurels to her brow, and al
once won her way to the hearts OF her
audience. In the curse scene, in the fourth
act she was truly grand, and COM
bined the pathetic with the denuncla-
tory in a manner that at almost one and
the same moment stirred the spectator to
sympathy with her woes and horror nj
the revengetul intensity of her feelings,
but in the closing act, where the Jewess
wrongs are bitterly expisted and he
love for Joseph returns invoked by her
interview with the child, her acting was
that of true genius, such as the stage
is adorned with only ut intervals. This
afternoon Mrs Dargon will appear as
Lady Gay Spsnker" in "London Assur-
ance," at the matinee, and tonight Mac
beth" is billed, which closes the engage
ment OF this superb company.

Cardinal AntOnelIt's Death.

New YORK, November IA special
dispatch from Rome relating the circum-
stance attending the death OF Cardinal
Antonelli, says his death was peaceful.
About his bedside was gathered his rela-
tons and many of his colleagues in the
College of Cardinals. His last moments
were comforted by the Apostolic henedic-
ton and other religious rites. The Cardi-
nal was seized Sunday with II sudden
attack of govt IN the chest while in the
presence of His Holiness giving an ac-
count of the sums received from the
Spanish Pilgrims. The Pope was
greatly affected by the suddenness
at his illustrious servants prOstra-
ton. His eminence was, by the
direction of the Pope carried to an adj
joining apartment. The Pope sent for
his own physician, who at once declared
all hope gone. The sacred emblems
were then partsken of by the dying
cardinal and the Pope retired for short
time to another part of the
palace. HIS Holiness, however. again
visited the sufferer and renamed at his
side sometime, giving his benediction
before retiring. Long after midnight
Cardinal AntoneIli sent the preate to
the Pope asking for pardon fer all in
voluntary offences. He fingered along,
at times suffering intense agony, until
daylight, then the vital energies seemed
wholly exhausted and al o'clock the
cardinal was dead. In the cafes the
cardinals death is the universal theme
and expressions of grief and re-
gret are universal. The sudden
prostration of the Cardinal creates great
CONSERVATION in the Vatican. The Car.
dinals property and personal effects are
bequeathed to his kindred. His large
and valuable cabinet of bric-s brac paint
ings, and cut ard uncut precious stones
are left to the museum of the Vatican.

THE ELECTION.
Eysrythfng Passes OF Quietly and
Both Parties Confident.

Throughout the day yesterday the
streets in front of the different voting
precincts in the city were somewhat
crowded, and small groups of men OF
speculative minds were noticeable on sll
sides discussing the probabilities and
keeping sharp lookout Tor snap IN the
way of bets, but strange rs 1t may seem'
there was little or no excitement Of con-
sequence manifested, and the voting
passed of quietly, no disturbances beng
reported st any Of the precincts IN the
county. During the day, men were
busily engaged in challenging the
votes OF all persons having
foreign air about them, and
great many were refused the privilege
of depositing ballots, not being prepared
to prove their eligibility as voters.
Among those who were successfully
challenged were numerous negroes,
whose ignorance IN not being prepared
with good story was the cause ef their
detection in most instances. Late last
evening we were informed that several
warrants had been issued for certain
parties for alleged Illegal voting, and
that steps are being made TO bring TO
punishment all such offenders. At
shutdown, the time for closing the polls,
the votes were about all polled,
and there Is but little differ
ence in the county with the vote
at the State election ana yesterday.
Last night the scene was somewhat dill
ferent from that which was enacted dur
ing the day, and the streets were crowd
ed till early this morning, surging sea
of humanity being noticeable at the
club rooms, in front of the newspaper
and telegraph offices, and other places
receiving news, anxiously awaiting
returns favorable TO their tsvorIte candi-
dates, and evidencing their satisfaction,
as such was received, with hearty cheers
Altogether, the election was as quiet
a one rs has taken place here for years,
and the utmost of good feeling prevails
on all sides.

A MERITED REBUKE.-Daring the
progress of the entertainment ut the
Opera House last night, Miss Dargon
WAS interrupted in the first act by the
disorderly conduct of some Of the audi
ence, and administered Il rebuke TO the
offenders which should at least teach
them lesson hereafter il no other good
results follow. Miss Dargon stopped in
the midst of AZ affecting passage and
stepping to tue footllghts, in lady like
and becoming manner informed the
parties interrupting the entertainment
that unless they were disposed TO retain
order, their money would ne refunded
at the box. 1t is needless 10 say that the
desired effect was obtsined, and the pro-
gress of the play uninterrupted during
the balance oc the evening. Miss Oar
gon certainly deserves great credit for
her action in the matter, and while re-
GREETING the Occurrance, we are pleased
that she administered the rebukc she did,
as 1t was richly deserved.

AFTER A FAST HossE.-A few days

AFTER FAST HoRsE.-A few days
since Q young gentleman from the rural
precincts came into the city for the pur-
pose of purchasing fast horse, one that
could 90 at two-forty gait, and not eJ-
ert himself to any great extent, as he
it. The gentleman travelled
over q greater portion Of the city, but
could find no animal to suit his tastes;
but finally wandering in the direction OF
the market house, an animal whose style
and gait pleased our friend greatly, was
found, and he purchased the quadruped
for a round sum, and "set 'em up" for
the parties present on the strength OF
the purchase. In fact the social glass
passed round several times, and numer-
GUS were the ''set ms" that followed,
the ice once having been broken. All
things of an earthly nature, however,
ulusI have d uHdlc, dllu Ill luO SNe4S ~ ~
time our quondsm friend from the suburbs
started for home astride of his newly
made purchase, making good Roadway
till he arrived at the corner Of Seventh
and Market streets. Here he was over
come by sudden rush of blood to the
head, and tumbled from his horse, atfec-
tionateley mbracing mother earth. A
number of persons witnessing the
fall, fastened to his assist
ance' but the man being unin-
iured, he was assisted 10 remount the
animal, and again resumed his journey
homeward. Arriving at the toll gate a.
the top of the hill, the refractory animal
again threw Its rider, who lodged in
the gutter on the side of the road, and
the horse returned to town. AT last ao-
counts the horse WAS in possession OF the
first owner, and the lover Of fast horse
flesh had not put in an appearance to
claim the animal.

CHALLENGED-Mr. VIM. Bamberger
was challenged at the Clay district polls
yesterday by Jas. Warden, who was
indeed very anxious to know how long
Bsmberger had been a resident of this
county. That gentleman responded and
said that he had lived here about twenty
six wears. This did not satisfy Mr.
Warden, who inquired as to the age cf
the challenged party. Well, said the
gentleman, I'm trenty.sir years of age.
This settled it, and a vote for Mr.. Tilden
was duly recorded.

the tail of his coat, that he might be de-
