THE STAGE FIEND.
Irom Sunday World.
The wind liowleil and swept down Fifth
avenue with a dismal moan, rattling the
shutters and weathercocks of the silent som
bre mansion, which Hue the Corso of the
New Word. Tho day a dreary, wet and
com ..November day was gradually wali
ng into night. Here and there a street
amp flickered up, and from behind the
losely drawn blinds of the windows a ruddy
ht shone into the street, suggestive of
comfortable homes and warm fire-places
for tho'se who enjoyed the supreme happiness
of home on this dreary night. This was
evidently not the case with an old fiddler,
who stood on the sidewalk bareheaded, with
his gray hair llowing in the wind, playing
lis instrument diligently. Through the
tilluei-s ol the streets the sounds of his fid
dle were heard distinctly and sounded less
discordant than performances of street mu-
Iclaus are generally apt to he. His reporto-
ire was was not rich : ' l'arigi Cara," from
the "Travista,""Sanla Lucia" and a romance
by Gordigiana were all he could play, lint
he played these songs witli genuine feeling
tolerable precision and with that peculiar
chic which immediately betrayed the Italian
lerforming his own national music. After
the close of each piece he wistfully looked
tip at the clo-ed windows on both sides, a
shiver passed over his emaciated, poorly-clad
figure.and after waiting a few moments with'
out result he again took up his fiddle and be
gan the next piece. While the angry Xo
ember night closed in on this dreary pic
ture rf human desolation and helplessness,
the glow of a great fire burning cheerfully
n a luxuriantly furnished parlor of the
house at the gate of which the old musican
was standing, shone on another picture of
solitary grief and misery. A young woman
lressed with a sort of careless luxury in a
morning robe of yellow silk, paced fretfully
to and fro in the large room. Now she ap
proacned the piano and played with onp
finger the first notes of "I'asiga la Bella,"
then she sprang up again, wrung her hands,
while something escaped her lips which
sounded very much liko an Italian oath and
yawned in tho most dismal and (we are sorry
to say) inelegant fashion. Here, in this
abode of wealth and luxury, ennui, the
the dresdest of all the monsters which asail
nnd torment humanity, had evidently fixed
his residence. Suddenly its fairvictim pulled
at the bell with an angry jerk, which sent
the sound ringing and vibrating through the
whole house. A young chambermaid ap
neartd on the threshold.
Anneiee, faiu uie mistress, in j-rencn,
'go and call that musician into the basement
I feel terribly dull to-night. Perhaps a few
minutes' conversation with the man will
amue me. But he inuat not know that I
am the mistress of the house. I will change
my dress and go down stairs. You and
Jean treat me just as if I wero the ladlei
maid or something of the kind. Do you
hear ?'
The young girl smilingly nodded and with
drew. She was evidently used to the many
whims of her capricious mistress. A mo
ment later the fiddling on the street ceaned
and the broken voice ol tue old mau was
heard in the basement showering blessings
in a very imperfect English on the head o
the "noble signora" who had taken pity on
a forlorn, helpless old man. While he was
yet speaking the lady herself entered the
basement room. She had changed her dress
for a plainer gown, and in pursuance of the
directions they had received neither Annette
nor tho man servant Jean noticed iu any
way her presence.
'Well, navo you a gcod appetite r sh
asked the old man, in Italian. 'The lady
lias ordered us to give you to eat and drink
as much as vou like.'
Uh, my most Iiuinule thanks to her ex
cellency I tho old roan exclaimed, rap
turously, pointing to the wine and the slices
of cold roast beef which stood before him on
the table. 'I have never had so good a meal
since the blessed days in our own beloved
Italy, when I played first fiddle at San
Carlo to the sing of the great liarbcrini.'
At this time the lady suddenly spraug u
and imposiug, with imperative gesture, si
leuce on her servants, took a seat close by
the musician.
'rjoyou have accompanied theTlarberinl?'
she asked, in an eager tone.
'Jinny a time, Signorina 1 And I shall
never forget those nights if I live to be as
old as Methuselah. Oh, what an artist
what ablessed child of God she was, and
what a shame it was for her to quit th
stage I'
'You think so,' retorted the lady, shar
ly, 'Do you know that she left the stage
to marry a man whom she dearly lov
ed?'
'I know that well enough. But whero
can sho find that human love which could
replaco the glory, the excitement, the In-
enable joy nrt alone bestows on Its favorite
children 1 I do not know who tho Barbcrinl
married. I have once been told her hus
band was an American banker. If so she
now probably very rich and livine amid
the most exquislto luxury ; and yet I am
sure she feels dull and miserable and bitter
ly regrets the time when she possessed noth-
ng iu the world hut her volce.and that voice
ono BUlhccd to bring tho whole world to
er feet.'
The lady answered not a word. A dark
rown had settled on her brow whllo tho old
man spoke. When he had endml. li
pang from her chair and walked nuloklv
out of the room, slamming the door.behlnd
er.
Tho old man looked in speechless wonder
from Annette to Jean.
'What is the matter ?' ho at leneth utter
ed. "Whoisthisladv?
'Well, old gentleman,' retorted the youne
souhrette, with a mischievous smile, 'you
havo made a nice mess of it I Do you know
ho the lady is you have spoken to 1 No
ther than Adelini Barberini herself now
Mrs. Henry Thorndlke Van Puyten.'
The poor old fiddler's consternation mav
be easier imagined than described. At Drat
he insisted on going up stairs nnd imploring
le 'Biguora's' pardon, but, yielding nt
ength to tho voice of reason, and after mut
tering countless invocations to all tho saints
hose names ho could muster, he left the
louse heavily laden with victuals of every
description with which the good-natured
Annette had stuffed his pockets. If ho could
ave witnessed the effect his words had pro
uced on the lady of tho house the old fid-
lltr's distress would have been still ereater.
On leaving her protege Mrs. Van Puyten
returned into the parlor and sat down on a
low slool near the fire. With heaving bo
som, her brows contracted and her beauti
ful black eyes shining with tears, she gat
thero fur a long while, looking steadily into
the flames. Her whole past life appeared to
er as in a mirror. She again saw the
rillinntly illuminated, crowded house ; she
heard the storm of applause rising around
her ; she felt once more the atmosphere of
thrilling, feverish excitement which hovers
about the mysterious nnd picturesque world
f the stage. It wa9 there she mado the ac
quaintance of her present husband, who was
no of her moat ardent admirers. Frequent
greetings in society ripened the acquain
tance to intimacy and at length to love, or
at lenst. to what might have been easily
mistaken for love. He loved in her his own
anlty, the proud satisfaction of having at
tracted the notice of a woman at whoso feet
tho richest potentates of tho financial and'
aristocratic world had lain in vain. She had
ain in vain. She had been captivated by
lis youth, his original wit, and last, but not
eat, by tho dazzling prospect of a life full
f social triumphs, of all the luxuries whicli
millions can purchase.
They were married and came to live in
New York. Two years had passed since
two years of the bitterest disappointment.
Her husband, as well as the life of thoso dr
ies of New York society which bIio nitural
ly entered, proved on closer acquaintance to
be widely different from the brilliant pic
ture the ci-devant Barberini had drawn of
both while the 'charm of the unknown'
still lay around them. II. Thorndlke van
ler I'uyten (of the name Thorndike and of
his unquestionably Knickeibocker descent
he was Immeasurably proud) was what one
s apt to call a 'capital fellow.' A thorough
portsman, a careful and experienced busi
ness man he possessed all those qualities
which render life enjoyable in a quiet, every-
lay fashion, without ever becoming uncom
fortable or clashing with the ways and man
ners of the so called 'world.' In the limits
described by fashiou he found all that his
icart or his imagination could desire ; all
nterests and pursuits lying beyond these
limits were put down as eccentric or Mm
ropcr.'
That the passionate Italian prima donna,
accustomed from her earliest youth to the
bustle and freedom of stage life, Bhould feel
from day to day more miserable in this nar
row sphere of barren social conventionali
ties, was not more than might have been ex-
lected. Gradually her temper changed; she
grew fretful, melancholy ; violent scenes be
tween husband and wife became daily more
frequent, and were the more bitter as neitn.
er of tho parties felt to be in the wrong.
Little by little poor Thorndike came to con
sider his home as the very reverse of Para
dise and was happy when business afforded
him the the welcomo pretext for a more or
less prolonged absence. Just now he had
gone as far as San Francisco to inspect a
mino lie had an important interest in.
This forced solitudehad still more embittered
the signora's temper, for she loved her lius
band still, and though tormenting him when
lie was present, missed him painfully when
ho left her. She had no intimate friends
and derived no pleasure from a superficial
intercourse with the fashionable 'set' to
whom her husband had intoduced her. Thus
she passed neatly all her days alone with no
other company than the bitter recollections
of her past eventful lite and repeating over
and over again in the dreary notes of the
Venetian gondolier's chant,Dante's verse t
Nessun magglor dolore cho rlcordorsl denltempl
lelia mlserla I
The effect which tho unexpected meeting
with an old associate of those 'happy times'
produced on the fretting mind and rebel
heart of the artist can moro easily be im
agiued than described. The old fiddler had
by his words, which corresponded so exactly
with her innermost feelings, raised a storm
in the heart of the ex-prima donna. The
'fever of the stage' seizes on her with un
controllable power.
'No I' she exclaimed to herself, springing
up from her seat by tho fire, 'I will not, I
canuot bear it any longer. This old beggar
with his fiddle Is happier than I, for he at
least'
A sudden idea seemed to strike her. She
lifted her head with an eager look; an ex
lilting smile crept over her lips. She sat
down at her writing desk, snatched a shee
of nofe paper out of one of the drawers and
wrote hastily a few lines. Then she rang
the bell and giving Aunette the letter
said :
'Be sure to have itseut tho very first thing
to morrow morning.
On leaving the room the chambermaid
read tho address :
'Mr. Maurice Savarez, 10 West Four
teenth street, city.'
1880.
The name was that of a well-known op
eratic manager. The pretty souhrette smliod
slyly on delivering tho letter to Jean. Both
domestics looked at on another In a know
ing way, but said nothing. The next morn-
Ing beforo 11 an elegant coupo dashed to tho
door of Mrs. Van I'uyten's residence and
thence leaped out in a Blate of feverish ex-
cltement the well-known little figuro of
Savarez. Adellna remained closeted with
him for more thau an hour. The result of
this conference became apparent the very
next day. Mysterious notices were pub-
llshed by the papers, hinting at the possi-
blllty and even probability of an Impend-
ing 'event' of unparalleled interest in the ar-
tlstic world. A few days later thero appear-1
cd in all the papers the following card s
"Adllna Barberini has the honor ol announc-1
Ing that she will glvo a concert to tho bene
fit of the poor artist at the Academy of Mu
sic on November 28th.'
The news of the impending event ran like
lightning through the city. The papers
published biographical sketches of the ar
tist, giving wonderful particulars of her for
mer triumphs and hinting delicately at her
present high social position. In a few days
every available seat in the house was reserv
ed. Many had sent the tenfold of the actu
al price for their ticket ; tho stockholders
of the Academy themselves on the extraor
dinary and memorable occasion paid full
price for their boxes. Before tho concert
had taken place the receipts had already at
tained a sum which Slgnor Savarcx declared
to be unparalleled in the annals of musical
enterprise. At length the great day came.
Tho programme, distributed only ou the
morning of the 28th, added still moro to
the interest of the event. Signora Barber
ini was to appear as Marguerite.in tho third
act of Gounod's 'Faust,' seconded by the
first artists of the Italian opera. Long be
fore 8 o'clock the Academy was crowded to
its utmost capacity. A thrill of suspense
and of intense curiosity ran through the
house while the overture, played by the
orchestra of the Italian opera, who had vol
unteered their services for the occasion, and
the other numbers of the programme, all
performed by exquisite artists, wero being
disposed of. All the interest, all the atten
tion of the thousands of ponple who cram
med the houss was concentrated on that one
act of 'Faust' which was to close the con
cert. At length the curtain rose displaying
tht well-known scenery of Gretchen's gar
den, Sicbel sang his air to the flowers, Faust
(one of the few good tenors still treading on
the earth) rendered with exquisite feeling
his invocation to the dimora casta a pura,
the wicked tempter Mephisto placed his
casket of jewels on the chair ; then came
some soft mellow tones in tho orchestra, an
nouncing the entrance of Margaret, the gar
den door opened, and then, like the roar of
the ocean, there arose from all parts of the
house a deafening storm of cheers and ap
plause which drowned every other sound.
One moment tho artist stopped at the door,
seemingly dazzled by the enthusiasm she ex
cited, when she advanced slowly, bjwing as
sho went. When she had reached the foot
lights the musical director, a gray-haired
veteran of the aristic world, rose from his
seat and, bowing low to the artiste,presented
her in the name of the orchestra with a beau
tiful nosegay of white roses and violets.
This was a sigual for a new and still more
enthusiastic ovation. Following the exam
ple ofthe musicians and their director near
ly the whole audienco rose from the'r seats
while a shower of flowers was poured from
the proscenium boxes on the stage. In the
midst of all this frenzy of applause the
B irberini stood motionless with bowed head
smile of unutterable happiness illuminat-
ng her lace and big tears running down her
cheeks.
Never did the great artistic look more
beautiful, She had disdained to follow the
tradition, and had not cocealed under a
blone wig her own beautiful black bair,wbicb
fell into shining tresses over her shoulders
her eyes flashing with happiness, triumph
and tearsgiving a peculiar lustre to all her
features. She stood there in all her daz
zling beauty, with heaving bosom, like a
statute, a work of art of wonderful perfec
tion, but full ot passion and lifeMore than
five minute elapsed before the first enthusi
asm subsided so as to allow the 'artlat to be
gin her part. How she sang it, how after
each air the applause broke out afresh, how
many times she waB called before the cur
tain at the close of the'aet all this baffles
description and is still fresh in the memory
f all who have been fortunate enough to
witness that remarkable performance. While
the applause and the frenzy of the public
were at the highest, nobody noticed an old
man in a shabby black coat standing at one
of the doors of the parquot. With arms
stretched out toward the stage, he stood
there sobbing like a child and muttering in
a broken voice.
"What an angel I What an angle of Hea
ven she Is 1
At home the artiste was received with'an-
other and still more touchinir demonstration
the chorus of the Italian opera awaited her
with lighted torches at her door and broueht
her a serenade, composed exclusively of It
talian national airs,

No More Hard Times.
If you will stop spending so much on fine
clothes, rich food and style, buy good
healthy food, cheaper and better clothing;
get mure and real substantial things of life
every way, and especially stop the foolish
habit of employing expensive quack doctors
or using so much of the vile humbug medi-
cine that does you only harm, but put your
trust in that simple, pure remedy, Hop
llittert; that cures always at a trilling cost,
and you will eee good times and have good
health. See another column,

GEN. lIUBNSluE ON HIS OWN AND HtCLEL-
LAN'S THREATENED RESIGNATIONS.
H. J. Raymond, Km., of tho Timet, visited
tho Army of tho Potomao pending the pro
meditated second attack on Gettysburg. Ex
tracts from his journal, published in Scrib
net for January, shed new light on thi lita-
tory of tho disastrous Fredericksburg cam
Paien of 18G2-3. Gen. Burnsido's plans, it
"ill be remembered, were stoutly opposed by
Hooker, Franklin, Smith and others of his
subordinates, and were treated with indufcr-
cdco by his superior officers:
"We returned to head-quarters at five, and
found General Burnside there already. After
we had joked him a littlo about tho rapidity
of his journey to Washington, ho told us
ho had been only to Aonuia Creek. Beforo
leaving camp ho had telegraphed to General
Hallcck as follows; 'I wish very much to
see you for an hour. Will you como down,
to Acquia, or shall I go to Washington ?'
On reaching Acquia Creek ho found a reply:
'Uso your own judgment about coming up,'
to which ho answcrcd.at once: 'Yours re
ceived. 1 shall not como.' He seemed great
ly annoyed and vexed at tho apparent indif
ference of General Hallcck to tho movement
of the army and to his wishes, and said he
should not go to Washington to see him.
Whilo wo were talking Lieutenant Bowcn
camo down from General Hooker's'hcadqiiar
tcrs and said that Hooker was denouncing
tho attempted movement very freely and
without tho slightest restraint; even if the
weather had been perfectly good, ho said,
tho attempt to cross would have prcoved a
failure. General Burnside said ho would
send to the President his unconditional rcs-
uation of his command sending at the
t-.mio timo tho removal of several of his field
officers. I made no remark at the time, see
ing that he was too much disturbed and ex
cited to givo tho matter proper consideration.
"JVtaay, January 23d. In tho morning
after breakfast Gen. Burnside told me he had
changed his mind about accompanying bis
letter of resignation with tho removal of offi
cers. Ho feared this would look too much
like attempting to mako conditions with the
government, which ho said bo had no right
to do. He had determined to resign and Bend
his letter to Washington by special messen
ger. After i'ope s repulse, when Washing
ton was thought to be in great danger when
the rebels wero pushing into Mayland, Gen
eral McClellan had refused to rciumo com
mand of the Army of the Potomac unless
Mr. Stanton or General Hallcck should first
be removed. Ho had not done this formally
but had told his triends ho should insist on
theso conditions. Gcncrcl Burnside said he
talked with him tuntil three o'clock In tho
morning to dissuade him from making any
such conditions. Ho found him excessively
stubbornSabout it, and finally told him that
ho had no right to take such a course, and
that he could not possibly maiutain his posi
tion before tho country as a loyal man if,
when the Capital was in danger, and the
North invaded, he wero to refuse the com
mand except on such terms as he might pre
scribe. General McOlcllan finally yielded to
these representations, resumed his command,
and achieved by far the most considerable
success of his whole campaign. General
Burnside said that half a dozen of tho officers
had also resolved to resign unless Popo was
removed. Ho heard of it, got them together,
remonstrated with them, and finally de
nounced them as disloyal for entertaining
such a purpose, and in tho end induced them
to forget it. When they had como to their
conclusion he told them General Popo had
been removed.'
