ACADEMY I P MUIOC.
The first appearance of Kelly and
Leon's minstrels at this theatre last
night did not belle the universal antici
pations. There was a crowded house,
the spectators being kept in gdod hu
mor and laughter for two hodrs. The
programme, Which was as varfed as the
most fastidious pleasure seeker could
well wish for, was carried out in detail,
and in a manner to make us hope for
much genuine fun during the coming
fortnight. Tierney and Cronin made
an unmistakable hit in their jig dance,
which is the perfection of the art.
Courtwright is a good speaker, and 'his
short lecture on woman's rights was
well read and in a style which, while it
was not marred lfy aay attempts at the
grotesque, afforded genuine merriment.
The programme so extensive that
it would take too lg to criticise it at
length; we must, therefore, close by
speaking of the closing sketch with
"White Faces," which was quite ludic
rous, and presented to the audience
"the only Leoa" in.one of his inimita
ble female characters. Leon is such a
good comedian that we must express a
regret, which is that we have never seai
him in a part commensurate with his
abilities, as we appreciate them. His
powers of illusion are remarkable, and
there was not a member of the large
audience at the Academy last night who
would not have been satisfied that he
was a woman, and a very good-looking
danseuseat that, if the programmes had
not warned him to the contrary.
We aill take pleasure in speaking fa
vorably again of the Kelly & Leon
troupe, particularly if the manager of
the Academy will afford us a little more
light during the intermissions to scan
the programme more carefully. As it
is we have to seek the corner gaslight
or some peanut stand to read that essen
tial of every show.

TWE TELPHgONtE AT ROME.
What Jackson street said to Commerclal
Alley Over the Wires.
The many publications made of the
success of the telephone at the North,
have been doubtless read by many of
our readers with somewhat incredulous
ears. The wondrous powers of that lit
tie instrument, and the remarkable dis
covery of Prof. Bell in transmitting
sound through_ the aid of ittetricity,
seemed so entirely beyond the ken of
even those well versed in the telegraph,
that, very naturally, there was some hes
itancy to take in at one draught all the
tales told of the telephone. But now
we have this instrument at home, and
the auricular demonstration of its
powers has been made and doubting is
now ended. The detailed description of
the instrument has been too often pub
lished to be repeated.
On the wires of the American District
Telegraph between the stations, the
one at the corner of Jackson and Maga
zine streets, and the other at No. 12
Commercial Alley, the telephone has
been attached, and for a number of
nights past most successful experi
ments, if they can be now called experi
ments, have taken place. Instruments,
accompanied by the human voice,
banjos, violins, harmoniums, etc., were
distinctly heard at one end of the line,
when they were played fully one mile
and a half distant. Conversations were
kept up between the two points, and
scarcely had a question been propound
ed before the response of the other end
was distinctly heard.
The human voice passing through
the telephone and over the wire retains
all of its individuality, but itsvolume is
much decreased. It sounds like the re
sponse of some one inclosed in a room,
yet the distinctness is not impaired. On
Saturday evening there was gathered at
the Jackson street office of the Ameri
can District Telegraph Company, and
at the other end of the line on Commer
cial Alley, a little gathering of invited
guests to witness the operation of the
new invention.
Commercial Alley said to Jackson
street, "Are you all ready up there,
boys ?"
Jackson street-All ready! what do
you want ?
The alley-We're going to give you
some music, Listen! listen l Do you
hear?
Jackson street-Very plainly! Go
ahead!
Commercial Alley, through the banjo
and cultivated voice of Mr. Delaney,
then gave Jackson street an old planta
tion melody, the telephones being held
close to the banjo and the mouth of the
speaker.
Jackson street-Splendid! Can't you
give us some more?
The Alley-Hold on, we want to talk,
Mr. --, of the DEMOCRAT, is here,
and he wants to ask you some questions. 1
The reporter of the DEMOCRAT then
timidly came forward.
Reporter-I say, have you got any
first class murders up there for the
morning's paper?
Jackson street-Nary a murder.
Rep.-Not even a little wee bit of a
suicide or coal oil accident ?
Jackson street-Not a one.
Rep.-Have you any ladies there?
Jackson street - We've got some.
What do you want ?
Rep.-We want a song from one of c
them. t
Jackson street-They don't like to
sing, but we will give you a song.
Then followed an old Irish melody,
sung by some gentleman who happened
to be in the Jackson street office. The I
tone, timbre and inflexions of voice were I
all truthfully sent over the wire, and a
the characteristic expressions of the i
singer were easily recognized by those c
at the other end of the line. After the c
singing had ended, Mr. C. J. Shepherd. E
whose wife was in the Jackson street I
office, asked :
"Is 'that husband of mine' up there ?"
Mrs. S. responded, where are you? I
The operator, after laughing through j
the instrument, said that Mr. Shepherd t
had been delayed by the train and had a
stopped over at Chicago. It need not I
be said Mr. S. was told to come home
soon. t
After sounding the gong at the Com- I
mernial Alley office and asking what I
number had been struck, to which a cor- t
rect answer was given, the party with
drew, as the hour was getting late.

We are sorry to learn that the injurtes 1

A correspondent of the Natchitoches
Vindicator gives the following account
of a case hydrophobia:
One case of hydrophobia occurred on
Mr. M. Gal's place in Natchitoches
parish, the subject being a horse who
was bitten about three weeks ago by a
dog that was not at the time rabid but
died with hydrophobia a week after.
The horse was the most savage brute I
ever saw, his paroxysm of rage never
ceasing, and so violent was his efforts to
bite that he broke his teeth out and
fractured the jaw. Several horses were
bitten and one cow so badly injured that
she had to be killed. He lacerated his
shoulders and fore legs terribly previous
to being killed.
A large cave took place about one
and a half miles below Bayou Sara dur
ing the late storm. Its dimensions are
about 125 feet on the river frontt ex
tending back about 290 feet, and join
ing the swamp in the rear. This will
work a complete and serious interrup
tion to travel between Bayou Sara and
points below the cave, and can be rem
edied only by an outlay of not less than
$2000 or more. The cave was the re
sult of inducing a flow of the swamp
water to the river through a ditch that
was dug some time before in bold de
fiance to law. Who the responsible
party is, we are not informed; but we
presume the police jury will take some
action in the matter at their meeting
on the let prox. Apropos of the sub
ject of caves, we note that the Bayou
Sara cut away about fifteen feet of the
levee in the rear of A. T. Gastrell's
store.-[Feilciana Sentinel.
The orange crop of Terrebonne was
far more damaged by the late storm
than was at first imagined. The dam
ages are felt mostly in the lower por
tions of the parish, especially on lower
Terrebonne and Little Calllou, where
the trees are not only despoiled of their
fruits, but denuded of their leaves. The
orange crop on the islands off the Gulf
coast suffered even more than that on
the main land. Mr. Albert Aycock, who
has a very large orchard of orange trees
on Felicity Island, numbering many
hundreds, has just returned from that
island on a visit to his father on Chaca
houla. He tells us that of 150,000 oranges,
with which his trees were laden, not
more than 10,000 are remaining. The
trees themselves were injured. This is
due to the salty waters which, remain.
ing on the ground for such a long time,
were imbibed in too large a quantity by
the trees, thus injuring many of the old
ones and killing the young ones. All of
this is equally true of the pecan crop.
THE LOST BSEVENTY THOUSAND.
A correspondent writes from Bucha
rest: An immensely long proclamation
in the name of Carol I was posted up
at all the street-corners last night, in
forming his subjects that '" all classes
of citizens, great and small, young and
old, would soon be called upon to unite
against their oppressors." This, I am
informed, is a prelude to a levee en
masse, between the ages of fifteen and
fifty. Already the rural and city fire
brigades have been hurried down to
garrison the little forts along the Dan
ube; the police, composed of discharged
soldiers, is ordered to hold itself in
readiness to march, and the national
guard are forming into companies
to fill up the anticipated gaps in the
regular army, so that in the course of a
few days the capital and the provincial
towns and villages will be entirely with
out protection against incendiarism and
burglary, cases of which are becoming
alarmingly frequent. We hope, how
ever, that the necessity for the depart
tire of these guardians of the peace will
be averted, as the total losses of the
Roumanian army, "during six hours of
terrific fighting against intrenchments
defended with stubbornness, and finally
carried at the point of the bayonet,
amount to one killed and thirty wound
ed, out of three thousand men engaged.
Evidently the Dorobantzi and the line
of the Fourth Division possess not only
the courage, but also the invulnerability
of Achilles. The Russians are less
fortunate, and have suffered frightfully.
Before their passage of the Danube,
7000 sick were in the hospitals, and 5000
were sent back to Russia. The crossing
at Braila, with the subsequent combats
at Matchin and Babadagh cost
1200 men; Zimmerman lost 1000 In the
Dobruascha, and invalided 8000 to Rus
sia; the repulsed passages from Olte
nitza and Glamunda cost 2000; Simnitza
and Sistov, 1400; the affair at Biela,
1500; those of Rustchuk and Rasgrad,
3000; the march to Tirnova and the
crossing of the Balkan, 2000; Gourkno's
retreat, 7800; the taking of Nikopolis,
2400; the first battle of Plevna, 5000;
the second, 11,000; their repulse from
Lovdscha, 1800. In the meantime 10,000
sick have been sent to Russia from the
main army of the Danube, and we have
no record of the deaths in the hospitals,
nor of the number who fell at the cap
ture of Lovdscha on the 5th of Septem
ber, nor in the defeats and during the
disastrous retreats at Karahassanhol
and from the Kara-Lom. In short, the
total as known considerably exceeds
70,000 men, and, as a German officer,
now with the imperial headquarters, re
marked. "the Russians, withoutgaining
a single important victory, have already
lost the effective of two entire army
corps."
