lia Somnambnla.
. [From the Louisville Journal. J
Everybody remembers the pretty story
ofAminta, the village maid, who was
.betrothed to Elvino, and who warned in
her sleep. Everybody remembers her,
since she has been made immortal py
the genius of Bellini. Well, Aminta,
sweet girl, can no longer claim the title
of La Lomnambula as her.own peculiar
property, for our city can boast of one
who is as young and beautiful as the
sweet Italian girl could possibly have
been, wet whose story is- essentially dit
ferent from that of the heroine of the ]
opera, save in one particular, that ot
somnambulism. ' " ■ .. . „ ■
In the west end of the city dwells a
family—as a great many families do —but
liie one we allude to belongs to the
creme de la creme of Louisville society.
The lord of the house iB a gentleman
wjxise name is a power on ’Change,
three linesfrom whose pen, with his sig
dinure attached, would make a bans
tremble to the lowest stone in its vaults.
The lady was, soma years ago, a belle
among belles, the admired of all; “the
toast of the county.” Though no longer
young, the mother of a grown daughter,
time has dealt lightly with her charms,
and she is yet the possessor of great
beautv, toned down, ’tis true, from the
~ sparkling freshness that distinguished
her youtn. If my lord - walks among the
moneychangers a very king,; my lady
promenades the parlors a very queeu.
They have a daughter, whose loveli
ness language is too poor to describe.
Young—she cannot be more than nine
teen; lovely—the rosesdroop their heads
through envious shame, when her cheek
appears among them, the stars grow
pale with anger as they look into her
DeamiDg eyes at seeing brighter orbs ou
earth than glowin the heavens; the airs
catch balmy odors from her breath; the
birds addnew and sweeter bars to their
melodies after hearing her sing; her
form is lithe and willowy and symmet
rical as was that of the poet’s Beatrice,
and her step is light as a summer zephyr,-
that scarce beats the thistle-down to
earth. And she is as good as beautiful.
Indeed, of all her beauteous sex she’s the
very paragon.
That this lovely creature is adored by
her parents is not to be wondered as,
since she is worshiped by all else.
Imagine then the grief which has
stricken their hearts of late, as they
watched the roses fade from her cheek,
the glorious eyes begin to sink in their
sockets, the rounded form grow thin and
angular, and the light, springy step
grow heavy and languid. To all their
interrogatories she universally declared
JSbat fifae W not ill—that she enjoyed
her usual health. She acknowledged
that she was aware of a great change oc
curring, for her glass tola her as much,
but it was unaccountable to her. The
family physician was called in, but
tie could not enlighten them. At
length it was suggested to the grief
stricken mother that perhaps the fair
girl was pining away from hopeless love.
The suggestion gave her hope. She
flew to her daughter’s chamber, add
coDjured her to confess the fact if it were
true, at the same time promising that no
impediment would be thrown in the
way of the accomplishment of her
wishes. No, she was not in love. Thank
Heaven, her heart was yet whole and
fancy free. Sorrowing more than ever,
the mother left the daughter’s presence!
That night she communicated to
her husband the suggestion that had
been made to her, as well as the result
of her interview with their child. Man
Is not so easy to convince as woman,and
the denial ot his daughter amounted al
most to a confession —he was as satisfied
that she loved some one whom she fear
ed to introduce into the house, as if he
tad seen her, with his own eyes,stealing,
out to a midnight tryst. The clouds were
now lifted—the scales had fallen that
hitherto obscured his vision. It wasloss
of rest that was killing the girl. He
would watch her that very night and
discover the truth. And watch he did,
and sure enough, as the night deepened;
he saw his child’s door open, aud
she emerge therefrom, bearing in
her hand a chamber lamp, aud clad
only in her night garments. He did
not attempt to detain her, as she
turned her steps toward the door that
opened into the garden, but determined
to ascertain who she was going to meet at
that unseemly hour and in that unmaid
enly guise, followedher a-tiptoe, taking
good care to keep himself well iu the
backgrounk, beyond the reach of the
rays of the lamp. Steadily she moved
in the direction of an arbor in the lower
part of the garden, which was her
favorite resort in summer time.
Beaching the arbor she seated herself
upon a bench, and, placing the lamp
beside her, gazed with wide staring eyes
out into the blackness and emptiness,
of the night. He waited, and waited,'
and waited, but no lover made his ap
pearance. At length, fearing that longer
exposure to the keen, cold air, thinly
clad as She was, might prove fatally in
jurious to his already half-dead daugh
ter, he concluded to present himself to
her, and compel her to return to the
house. What was his astonishment to
discover that she was in a somnambulic
state. Gently he awoke her,lifted her in
his arms, and~ bore her to the house.
The mystery was explained. She is
now under medical treatment, and it is
hoped that soon society will be glad
dened and adorned by the return of its
sweetest and fairest ornament freed
from the malady that was fast destroy
ing her.
An Opera House on Fire.
The /grand tableaux entertainment
■which was announced to come offat the
Opera House last evening, says the Troy
Press, 15th, for the benefit of the Troy
Orphan Asylum, was brought to a sud
den termination toward theclose by the
fearful cry of “fire!” The immense
audience which had' assembled com
pletely filled every nook and corner of
the edifice. Not even standing room
was to be obtained in the building soon
after the performance had commenced.
Everything handsomely, until
a few minutes after ten o’clock, when
the two last pieces on the evening’s pro
gramme were reached. Some person in
the street, in front of the Opera House,
raised .the. cry of fire—and in a
few; minutes after, St. Paul’s belt
repeated the alarm. »At this- mo
ment some person in the rear
the parquette cried out,
the fire, is in the hall!” and instantly
the truth of his remark was confirmed
by volumes of smoke which were seen
to emerge from the openings in the
heating-apparatus near the stage. AN
mofet the entire audience .arose from
their seats, and the more nervous and
excitable made a hasty start for the door.'
Some jumped over the seats, others
l DAILYEVENING BULLETIN.-PHILIDEimA,
crowded th eir way through the narrow
aisles, wbi Je many of those ,in the gal
lery, beer ,iniDg utterly “demoralized,”
crowded' die passage-ways leading down
the stair a.' When the excitement was
at its h< fight Chief Engineer Hall as
cended the gallery and assured the au
dience, that there was no danger. This
had fne effect of pacifying the throng
for a moment, but the smoke arose from
the cellar so rapidly that it filled the
dre aging rooms and stage, and was seen
by the audience. This caused afresh
alarm, and the people began again to
Orowd toward the doors. On the stage
and in the dressing rooms under and
about it, were quite a large number of
ladies and gentlemen—all whom had
been or were dressed to take part in the
different pieces on the programme.
Many of the ladies were mostly en dis
habille in their rooms, while others were
attired as queens, fairies, gipsies, etc.
The ladies rushed from the apartments,
on the alarm being given, and crowded
towards the rear door of the stage lead
ing into the alley. In this way many
escaped, leaving behind them their
wearing apparel, etc. Others followed
the audience in front, and found
refuge in the American House. The
most exciting scene of the evening,
was the conduct of a number of Al
banians, both ladies and gentlemen,
who occupied the upper private box on
the left hand side of the hall. Theyoung
men jumped from the box to the stage—
a to Booth—and the ladies followed their
example, alighting in the arms of the
young “gallants.” The scene was lu
dicrous in the extreme, and, notwith
standing the danger which was appa
rent, created a “titter” among the
audience. One or two of the ladies on
the stage fainted, and had to be con
veyed home in carriages. The fire orig
inated from a defect in thefiue leading
from the furnace in the cellar to the
ground floor of the building, near the
billiard room. A portion of the wood
work surrounding the flue was burned,
but no other damage was done. The
officers and several citizens picked up
numerous pieces of wearing apparel—
furs, muffs, gloves, shawls, &c.
Dentil of a Noted Cbaraeter.
A Scottish paper, speaking of the re
cent death of Mr. Alexander Macansh,
says:
Mr. Macansh, though little known to
fame beyond the district in whieh he
lived the greater part of his life, was in
many reispects a remarkable man. He
was bom in Doune in 1803, but when he
reached the age of eleven years his pa
rents removed to Dunfermline,bringing
their son with them, and there he was
apprenticed to a “heckler” or flax
dresser —a trade which he followed till a
few ye&i3 ago. In Mr. Macansh’syouth
the “ghort-ttSie movement” was a thing
of the future; but notwithstanding his
long fourteen hour’s hard toil day after
day, he, by dint of extraordinary indus
try, and inspired by an enthusiastic
love for learning for its own sake, con
trived to become a capital linguist and
mathematician. His love for study
continued through life, and in his
brief intervals of leisure he acquired
an intimate acquaintance with
the best ancient and modern authors.
He was possessed of a cultivated literary
taste, and, while he was yet little more
than a boy, became a frequent contri
butor to the periodical literature of the
the day. His writings at that time were
chiefly poetical, but they also included
essays and papers on different subjects,
and many of them attracted consider
able attention. Some fifteen or twenty
years ago a volume from his pen ap
peared, entitled “The Social Curse and
other Poems,” which displayed a good
deal of genius; and the production of the
work was all the more remarkable when
it is considered,as we are told by the au
thor, the principal poem was composed
in the short period of three months,
and that the only spare time he had
was before going to his ' labor it.
the early morning,and on being released
in the eveniDgs from a hard day’s toil.
A short time ago a collection of Mr. Mu
cansh’s papers appeared, and that book
bas bad a considerable sale. Some of
the essays contained in it show that tht:
author was possessed of a more than re
respectable scientific knowledge; but th
most interesting portion is a setof pape.s
on “The Morals of the' Workshop,” a
subject on which Mr. Macansh was oi
course well qualified to speak. The
essays, too, are written in no partial
spirit, and whilst the bright parts of
the author’s compeers are held
up to commendation, the failings
of himself and his fellows are ex
posed with an unsparing hand. Mr.
Macansh is also known in the we3t of
Fife as a lecturer of some reputation.
As we have said, his fame was almost
entirely local; but he was not unknown
in literary circles, and amongst those
who took a kindly interest in his welfare
were the late Hugh Miller and the Bev.
Dr. Guthrie. Mr. Macansh was a bright
example of what a workingman may do
for himselfin the cultivation of his mind.
Few have more difficulties to struggle
against than he had. Decrepit in body
and with but little time for study, he
nevertheless succeeded in acquiring au
amount of education and useful know
ledge such as few in his grade of life
ever aspire to.
The Projected Tehuantepec Rail
road. —The project of the Transit Compauy
for the construction of a railroad and tele
graph across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, is
attracting more general attention in Wash
ington than any other commercial enterpris9
of the day. The route by the Isthmus, from
New York to our Paoifio coast, being repre
sented as shorter by nearly fifteen hundred
miles, than by, the way of Panama, and if
the Fernandina road across Florida be
adopted as a part of the route, the distance
saved will be nearly two thousand miles.
The Liberals have throughout been in un
disputed possession of the Isthmus of Tehu
antepec. The Transit Com pany has an order 1
from President Juarez to the local authori
ties to extend all facilities for the immediate
commencement and prosecution of the work,
and will proceed forthwith to build the road.
Its friends confidently expect. that in less
than two years the route will be opened and
thronged with the commerce of the world
