A REAL TRAGEDY.-The Louisville
papers give an account of a real tragedy
which occurred on the stage Of the thea.
ire at that city. The piece in represen-
Iaiion was the French Spy, in which an
actor by the name of Lowe %persouated
one olihe minor characters. During the
first act he was required to fire a pistol
at another character and retreat in haste.
He discharged the pistol and commenced
his retreat, at the same time drawing a
bayonet which he had in n belt at his
side. With his face turned towards the
object at which he had fired he was lea.
wing the stage when he ran against the
side scene, driving the bayonet into his
body several inches. He staggered a
moment and fell, and in a very few mo-
mcnts his spirit had fled. The scene is
described as one peculiarly painful and
calculated TO create an extraordinary de-
gree OF gloom over both actors and au.
dlence. The play continued to the end
Gull and splIitless, Notwithstanding the
really tragic event which had accomp
MED lis opening. We remember that
some lew years since, a youth OF talent
and highly estimated in the circle in
which he moved, became a member of q
Thesplan society in Nashville, we think.
The night came on for the representation
OF n play in public. He performed the
character OF Ber,ram, and when he came
to the scene where he destroys himself,
he drew the dagger, and with the excla.
nation, 81 die no felon's death a war
rlor's weapon frees a warriors SOUL" he
plunged it to his heart. The event was
regarded as accidental. The Rev. J. N.
Mafht, of the Methodist Church, wrote n
most touching and beautiful obituary no.
tee otthe youth. which was extensively
copied in the journals ofthat day.
