theatre the sceAe was not entirely SOM

and cloaks were removed many ladies
were seen to have waists Of light or
bright colors above the dark skirts.
Boston women are wise in their
day and generation, and they know that
not only do dress-skirts get badly
crushed at such a place, but ti;at,
moreover, the waist of the dress is prac-

never SO grand. Hence these waists OF

Failures.
A correspondent writing from An
napolis says: The wholesale failures
among Nayal-Academy cadets at the
semi-annual examination is regarded as
a precursor Of still further wedding
out Of delinquent students when the
annual examination occurs in June.
The warning has already been sent out
to those who have been tagging behind
in their studies that they must either
pull up or expect to be dropped later in
the term, in consequence Of which all eff
forts will now be directed toward the
June examination, which begins on the
first day of that month and continues
six days. The boys in the lower classes
who have been found deficient in their
studies attribute their failure to the
great number of studies pursued. In
the upper classes the cadets complain
of the excessive draft upon their time
on account Of the practical exercises.
Officers and instructors assert that boys
originally admitted to the lowest class
are many Of them Of very low grade
in mental capacity, and only secure ad-
mission by special preparation in requi-
site branches.
In last years graduating class Of
forty-six members five completed the
four-years' course with distinction and
twenty-five with credit, and six resigned
after receiving certificates that they had
completed four-years' course. This
year graduating class has five " star =
members. one more than the class OF
last wear.

The Chicago Election Frauds.


CHICAGO, February l0.-The trial
of Joseph C. Mackin and other persons
supposed to have been concerned in the
alleged Eighteenth-Wa election frauds
is now in progress, and is creating great
interest. The evidence thus far pro-
duced has been very convincing in show
ing that the ballot-box was ritied Of its
original contents, and that forged bal
lots were printed, which were after
ward found in the ballot-box, and had
evidently been placed there after the
box had been given into the custody of
the county clerk. Testimony has been
offered by engravers and printers that
the forged tickets were printed at the
request of Mackin.

young girls, sisters, named Ella and
Annie Miller, who lived q short dis

met with a sad accident Saturday eve

THE END OF THE WORLD.
Citizens who Thought IL had Come sudden
iy-Dprkuess In Daytime.

b-DbIhutps tu DeJb"c'
A Louisville special of the 9th says
Many citizens of Louisville who are
superstitions, and indeed number who
are not, thought the world was about to
come to an end this morning. Rain had
been falling steadily up to a quarter to
9 o'clock. when it suddenly ceased, and
then there came rafting fusillade of
thunder; streaks ofyiyid lightning darted
from the clouds the light of day began
to fade out. and in one minute after the
first clap of thunder an almost Egyp-
tian darkness had settled upon the city.
Houses few feet away looked like
mountains in a fog, and trees became
spectres.
The duration of the darkness was
about four minutes. During that time
chickens went to rOost all over the city.
Many of the scenes and incidents about
town were amusing. In a negro quar-
ter known as - Brauntown " some Of
the inhabitants instituted session Of
prayers. Many CITIZENS thOught the
sudden darkness was the forerunner of
q cyclone, and took to their cellars
for safety. A fashionable young lady
who was at the breakfast-table imagined
that she had become suddenly blind and
was thrown into Mysteries.
Scientists claim that the darkness
was caused by heavy black cloud
which stretched from the eastern and
southern horizon to about ten degrees
from the western and northern horizon.
SO black and dense as to shut off the
direct rays Of the sun and obstruct all
reflected light. Thunder and lightning,
with wind and rain, followed the break
in the clouds.
