f SEEING AJTP.AGEDY. j
Some thirty years ago, I took a little one
with me -to see tire grand Christmas piece ]
at* theatre hundreds of miles away from i
here?for -theatres se m to me to be all <
much of a muchness while the people in |
one are about the samr> as the people in another.
A pieca tf s&xno kind was being
performed; but, after listening for a few
my mtjiiiui> i</??xv uic uaiix uv uc <
old setae when I went to see a comedy [i
which turned out to be the most fearful |
tragedy I ever looked upon.
.'Itwas an cxeic.iingly full night at the I
theatre, and though we reached the doors i
in pret ty .good tiuie, we were after a great i
manj-iuore. and had to go slowly up the I
great .corkscrew et.lirease. crowded with
good-teiapere I people, laughing and push- i
ing their way up. Twice over I felt dis- i
posed to give it up; but I thought the child
would be bo disappointed, and I kept on, i
taking her upon iny kick at last, when the
crowding was worte, and at last getting
past the paybanier, an I burning up the
endless steps.
There was a regular sea of heads before
me when I stood at last looking for a favorable
spot; and coon finding that taking a
seat meant seeing nothing of the performance,*!
continued to wedge my way along
between two rows of f eats occupied by people
loud in their pioiestvtions that there
.was no room, till 1 fi-und a standing-place (
in front of one of the stout supports of the |
upper gallery?a pillar that I have always |
,thought oI aiucc as ;n? saving ot my me. j
I am not going to discuss whether the- j
atres are good or la ' places, but I know ,
that night the gre.it st enjoyment I had ;
was in witching my Utile girl's animated <
countenance as her eyes rested upon the j
handsome chandelier, now ujon the boxes j
.full of \rell-drcssea p<-r>ple, then lialf-danc- (
ing with delight at tin ?tr uns from the or- .
xnestra; while Lei- dv'ight Lordered almost j
upon excitement wik-u tl?i curtain drew up j
.and a showy piece wf.s performed.
Huadreds mint have been turned from
the doors that fiigi.t. for, excepting in the
principal parts ot the house, there was not |
standing room, while the heat was fright- |
ful. In our poor part of the house we had ,
been wedged in till there xv.is not a vacant (
.gpot to be aoen, while between the acts the j
men and women, with their baskets of apples
and oranges, tame forcing their waj
through, and always terribly angry with j
me, as I s!ood leaning against my pillar, j
for being in their way. j
All at once'I tin ned all of a cold shiver, j
and then the blood.seemed to run back to <
my heart, wliilo my luuija w?re wet with ,
perspiration; foi^uite plainly I had smelt
that unmistakable odor of burning wood. |
I looked about me; all was as it should be? (
people were eating, drinking and laughing, (
tho curtain was down, and the orchestra ?
5eUUlU? UUb iVd MI CiJ
"Fancy," thought I to myself; and I ?
leaned back againbt my pillar once more,
resting my hands upon my child's shoulders,
a3 we stood there, exactly opposite
the center of the stage, and consequently
as far from the doers as possible, while the
tecollection of that tremendous corkscrew
staircase made me shudder again; and,
fancy or no fancy, I took hold of the child's
arm, meaning to force myself through the
crowd and get out.
Once I nearly started, but hesitated,
thinking how disappointed she would be to

once was to come; twice I was going, and j
so hesitated for about five minutes?just 1
long enough to enable me to reach the
staircase and begir running down. Jusi (
five minutes; and then, smelling the fire (
once more, I grasped the child's arm, said,
"Come along," and had made two steps,
-when I saw that I was too late, and dashed j
back io where I had stood a minute before, (
by the.pillar. ,
I<won't-o&ll>it presence of mind, for feai (
of being considered vain; but I felt sun j
that, if I wished to save my child's life, nn
place was by that pillar in t'.ie center, for 1 1
knew the peoj la would rush right and left .1
towards the doors at the first alarm.
And now. wliat made me start back
Why, the sight of several people hurrying :
toward the door; of one he;e and anothei |
tllere starting up and liking anxioush
arourd, as if aware ot' con ing danger; ol
people whispering together, and anxious
? faces beginning to 3ltow aii ong those which
smiled. Then came a d' ad p.uue; the band
had ceased playing, and the musicians were
hurrying out through the door beneath the
* among the curtains of the private boxes.
The audience had all gone from tho other
parts of the house, but men were darting j
out of the orchestra door, bringing with |
them loads of anything valuable they could j
reach trom tue names.
In front of the gallery still sat the old!
man leaning over the railings, and, with
a half-dread upon mo that something was
wrong, I hurried buck and shook him
heavily, when I started back in horror as
he fell across the benchcs, turning up the
most hideously distorted face I ever saw, as
Jie lay evidently in a lit from fright.
The flames were coming nearer and
nearer, and tho smoke grew more and more
stifling. The anxiety to be out of this hor
rible place was intense, but I could not go
and leave a fellow-creature helpless in such
place; so oace more making my way to
tho open door, I sat down tho child close
by the women, leaped back from bench to
bench, and somehow contrived to bear the
old man and draw him to tho top of the
staircase, where I staggered against the
trill, overcome with dread, for the child
was gone. "Had she been taken down the
gtaiis?" I asked the women, and shook
them roughly to get an answer; but the;
were quite insensible. It was too much to
boar, and I dashed down the staircase, up
stage, upsetting their music-stands as they
went. Still, people did not move, but
seemed wondering, till right at the top
ibove the curtain there was a faint flash of
iglit, and a tiny wreath of faint blue' smoke,
ivhen a shriek, which rang through the
K-hole place, was heard?the most horrible,
iespairing cry I ever heard?a cry which
icted lite a shock to every soui present,
md unlocked their voices; for, before the
ije had seen another flash the whole audi>nce
was afoot, shrieking, yelling, and
swaying backward and forward in a way
nost horrible, and never to be forgotten.
Bex doors crashed as men flung them open
md the hurrying crowd in the passage
lashed them to again, making tiie people
ihriek more than ever, a3 they fancied
hemselvcs fastened in.
First one and then another man rushed
'rom behind the curtain upon the stage,
noving his arms and speaking; but they
night as well have shouted to a storm, as
he cry of "Fire!" rang through the house

to rgach the doors; but all hindering

It would have been a madman's act; but

jne's blood ran cold to hear the horrible
groans and shrieks of the frightened mob,
wedged into a mass, ironi v.-men now ana
then a horrid cry rose from a poor wretch
beaten down and trampled under foot. I
closed my eyes for a moment, but I could
see plainly enough the horrors that were

but the mob that swayed backwards and
forward post uie, some making for one
ioor, and sonic for the other, perhaps only
to return again shrieking with horror;
while more theu one, in climbing over the
rails in front of the gallery, fell hea lloug
into the pit.
As soon as I had beun able to collect myself
a little, I had caught hold of my child,
ind laid her at lull length beneath the
nearest seat; and there she lay, too terrified
to move, while people leaped from
seat to seat, over and over her, and I all
the time clung desperately to that pillar
where I had stood all the evening. More
than once I was nearly dragged away, but
it acted as a break to the violence of the
onslaughts, and whichever way the crowd

I felt that it, was madness to try and get

from tier to tier; but with a child it was
mpossible. My best plan seemed to be to

n frout of the gallery, and calmly, to all
ippearance, watching the progress of the
ire; though I shut' iered as I saw tlie
progress it was making; the curtain was
iropping in fiery flakes upon the stage.
scenery and woodwork were falling, enisling
down; while from over the chanderlier
in the centre cf the ceiling a red glowing
Light kept playing, towards which the
smoke from the stage 'ioated in wreaths.
Crash! crash! crash! wings and flies
kept falling upon the stage, now from
back to front one b< ze, from which tlio
sparks, like a golden whirlwind, rushed up
imid the smoke, while the roar became
iercer and fiercer as the currents of air
rushed toward the body of the flame, and
fanned it into fresh fyry. The glow now
"ell upon my face, and I turned to fly
'or there seemed greater danger in staying
;han in attcmptirg to escape; for the
jallery was now r-oavlr empty, though the
jvivo, ahouts and groans from the staircase
ivere still awful.
I had already leaped over two or three
jenches, when I remembered the child, and
lashed back to drag out the little trembling
iiing, pale andjhalf stifled with tho crawling
unoke which spread through the place.

ANECDOTE Of JUDGE WEST.
Many years ago there lived in Tolland,
Conn., Judge West, who had been a magistrate
for many years and was also elected
to the Connecticut Goner.il Assembly.
One day as the J udge was in his lield plowing,
having an ox team with a boy for a
driver, a mau came in great lias to with
no hat on, coat badly torn and looking as
though he had fared hard in a hand-tohand
encounter. The Judge, who conjectured
what was the trouble, kept on plowing
merely asking:
~ nt.,*., 9 v
"tVJliltia l/iic uia.wi, num . ...
seem to be in a hurry."
"Matter enough," said Nate, following
along; "you see, we hud a little fuss, liil,
Jones and me, down a* the tavern. He in
suited me, and beca me I relented it, h;
pitched izi and nearly half killed ine as yoi
see. Now, I want you to give me a writ."
"Can't do it," said the Judge.
* .
I I I "VI mil 1 .1 1M." -mm
"I 'won't stand the abuse of that rascal
^nes any longer," said Nate, "and I must
have a writ"
"If you had been at homo about your
business," replied the Judge, who still kept
on plowing, "you would have had no
trouble."
"If you don't give mo a writ, I'll have
you brought bet ore your betters," said
Nate, thinking to accompliiu his object by
a threat.
"Whoa!" said the Judge. "Boy give
me that whip."
The Judge, wlio was a powerful man,
gave Nate a good whipping and resumed
his work as though nothing unusual had
happened.
Smith was hardly out of sight before a
n an came pulling and bliving from another
direction.
"What's the matter with you, Jones ?"
said the Ju.lge.
"The matter is," said he, when he got
his breath, "I've been assaulted and abused
by Nate Smith at the tavern, and I want
a writ for his arrest."
. "What business had you to bo at the
tavern ? If you had been about your work,
at home, Smith would not havo troubled
you."
"Give rue a writ or I'll have you. before
your betters before night,"
"Whoa! Boy, give me the whip."
The Judge gave Bill a sound thrashing
with the ox whip a:ul went on with his
work. After going around the field oncc
or twice, the .1 udge stopped and delivered
himself of the following :
"Well, John," said he, addressing the
boy, "I declare, 1 believe X have broken
the law! But I've done those rascals justice,
anyhow."
Jt is, perhaps, needless to add that
Judge West was not "brought before his
betters."
A SHIP CANAL ACROSS CAPI5 COD.
II me Old pi'OJt'UI 01 luaamg iv oui^ uuuu
across Capo Cod is under vigorous discusI
sion at Bos'. jn, the Legislature having re.
| cently granted an extension of time to the
company in which to complete the work,
and several New York capitilists having
promised to r..ssist the Boston men concerned
in the enterprise. The company
has a nominal capital of $1,000,000. Thej
want to begin operation within a year
anil, if they do, tho contract for constructing
the canal will be given to European
parties. The entire cost will be nearly
$5,000,000. The valley through which the
j canal is to pass is North of tho town of
I ?i...?,l nvfnnris from shorn to shore.
OiUlu>wi'i>> #
a distance of seven and three-quarters
miles, and in a direct line from tho waters
of Barnstable Bay to those of Buzzard's
Bay, about six and seven-eights miles, and
tho general direction of the course being
| Northwest and Southeast. The canal is
j intended for the tow boats and barges, but
will also be of sufficient capacity to take
I all vessels now engaged in tho coasting
| trade around the cape. It is claimed that
{ the canal would reduce the distance by the
Vineyard Sound routa nearly eighty miles

I the outside route arotm l Fishing Rip.
COLO WIMTRS IN KUROPE.
| In 401 the Iil.?k S-m was entirely frozen
| over. In 763 not only the Black Sea, hut
the Straits of D.ircl melles, wore frozen over;
jtnesnowin some plucesrose fifty feet high.
| In 822 the great rivers of Europe, the Danj
ube, the Elbe, ?c., were frozen so hard as
'to bear heavy wagons for a month. In 8G0
the Adriatic was frozen. In 991 everything
; was frozen, the crops totally failed, and
i famine and pestilence closed tfio year. In
! 1067 most of the travelers iu Germany were
! frozen to death on the roads. In 1131 the
|Po was frozen from Cremona to the sea;
j the wine sacks were burst, and tho trees
j split by the action of the frost, with iin
mease noise, In 1236 the Danube was
j frozen ,to tlie bottom, and remained long
in that state. In 1316 the crops wholly
failed in Germany; wheat, which some
years before 6old in England at 6s. the
quarter, rose to ?.2. In 130S tho cropB
failed in Scotland, and such a famine ensued
that the poor were reduced to feed on
gross, and many perished miserably in the
fields. The successive winters of 1-132-3-4
were uncommonly severe. In 1368 the
wine distributed to the soldiers was cut
with hatchets, Hn 1683 it was excessively
cold. Most of tho hollies were killed.
Coaches drove along the Thames, tho ice of
which was eleven inches thick. In 1709
occurred the cold winter; the frost penetrated
the earth three yards into the
ground. In 1716 booths were erected on
the Thames. Iu 171-1 and 1745 tho strong
| est ule in England, exposed to the air, wag
covered, in less than fifteen minutes, with
ice an eighth of an inch thick. In 1809,
and again in 1811, the winters wero remarkably
cold. In 1814 there was a fair on
! the frozen Thamca.
A PROFITABLE PENITENTIARY.
The annual report of the Penitentiary of
Ohio makes the most satisfactory exhibit
j of any similar institution in the country.
I The legislative act of 1867 provides for the
j hiring or letting of convicts by the Board
jof Directors, the manner of letting and
making awards, &e. The total number of
convicts hired to contractors for the fiscal
! year was 673, at an average prico of seventy-eight
cents pcnLiy, which yielded $163,'
6-14.83 income to t.lin m-ison?leavinc a
cashbalan cof $22,2S6.57 over all expenses.
The dii ?:.ory, in reporting the year's work,
states tli.it since 1S67, at which time Ohio
abandoned working her convicts on State
account, the sum of ?53,623.24 has been

I earnings for 3e' n yi-xrs, and during that
(period $130,371.11 bus been expended in
enlarging and improving the establishment,
every dollar of which had been made by
I letting the labor to contractors in the
'shops. In concludi. g their report they
I congratulate the Statu upon the success of
the present system which has made the
penitentiary a source of revenue; at the
same time they have udeavored to encourage
reformatory me' ;ures in which they
. i have met with great ?'r.couragement at the
' hands of the officers, > \aplain and contractj
ors. The total number of convicts now ill
j tho prison is 876. A very small percentage
' | of the convicts are co'ored, and those that
are hired out are eng god in the manufac1
ture of car and railroad castings, stoves,
1 hollow ware, carriages, brushes and agri
