DEA1u IN 4 GREEN RGoM.--Whilc one Of the
largest and most brilliant audiences ever seen in
America, was enjoying the splendid performance
of L,u3t di LHamo,inj. in the PhIad lphia Acadc-
my Of Music, lately. there was n scene Of start
ling contrast behind the curtain.
A member Of the female chorus died suddenly
in the green room Of disease of the heart 1t was
a shocking and solemn incident, and created a
great deal Of agitation among the performers,
especially among the choriNcrS, who had so long
been associated with her aud accustomed to fol-
low her directions in the performance. 1t was
sometime Lcf,rc the singers could recover th2ir
composuro sufficiently to enable them to go on.
But the vast audience before the curtain knew
nothing of the sad tragedy that had occurred,
and il was not deemed advisable to inform them
of it, There was delay Of ten or fifteen min
utcs in the commencement OF the performance ;
but tlcn the curtain rose and the Swiss villagers
appeared, smiling and gay. in their rustic cos
tune, no one thought that within few yards Of
them lay the corpse of one Of their number. 1t
is not often, says the Philadelphia BGilftn,
that feslal and funeral scene are brought into
such close contact.

nishcs to that paper the following copy of letter
from Major Horace Bell, who arrived in this
State ON the Golden Gate
PANAMA, May 2sth, 1857.
The following is q statement of facts which led
to my separation from Gen. Walker during tue
siege of Rivas:
On the 2Sth OF April, two days before the final
capitulatiou, man known rs Col Titus, who had
been acting as aid to Gen. Walker, came 10 my
quarters Mt Santa Mula. nm outpost commanded
by myself, and asked pcrmiss'o on to pass the pick
ct into the hacienda to get some fruit, which re
quest | without hesitation granted. This was
about II clock, III. At 4 o'clock u Mr.. Bost
wick, Attorney General and acting Secretary of
State, came down, making inquiries about Titus
After some conversation we went out ourselves
49, -Bostwick under the prcteXt o. getting some
cocao. AS we passed down an avenue leading
through the hacienda, we saw Titus and one Of
our soldiers who motioned us towards them
When we got within fifteen or twenty yards of
them, some twenty five or thirty soldiers of the
allied army closed in around us. | asked Titus
what il meant. He answered, that he had been
taken prisoner, and that now We were prisoners
also. protested, and accused him OF trcachery
| was then taken to Gen. ChamorroS quarters
and after explaining how had been captured, he
allowed me to return to camp without imposing
dRV coHdHiOH NnalcNcG
After having returned TO camp, started up
to see Gen. Walker, and was met 10y an officer,
who informed me that orders had been sent to
the pickes to fire on me whenever they saw me
and at the same time orders had been sent Tor u
file of the guard to arrest me. asked hlm what
in Gods name il could mcant lie answered
that all the men were deacrting, (near hundred
had left on that day. and Gen Walker accused
me of being the cause Of 1t. | immediately re-
turned to my quarters and had some converse
ton with one of my officers about it. who said
that if such was the case, he would not give two
cents for my life. | then went to Capt Chatleld,
and told him that Walker had ordered the pIckcts
to shoot me whenever they might find me, and
that the only chance had of safety was in flight
AT this time, was we'll mounted aud fully
armed and equipped, and rode by the picket
with q cooked revolver in my hand, telling them
they could fire on me if they chose. rode back
to Gen. Chamorro's camp, and desired to be taken
before the commandcr-in chief, Mora, to whom
told all that mad occurred. and that wished hlm
to consider me as a prisoner. was considered
as such, and treated with the courtesy due TO my
rank, | Immediately asked aud obtained pass

where embarked on the steamer Panama for
this place.
The above are the simple facts, and leave my
friends to Judge whether did right or wrong SO

laboring at the time. Horace BELL.

The fashions now are very odd,
And at Engenies or Vctoria's nod
Our ladies change, and year by year
Their dresses cost them very dear
Maidens some time ago, the silly dupes.
Wanted more room and ordered hoops
For mighty queen to hide a natural thin!
Encircled her form with ring o'cr ring,
And to ball she stoully went,
TO follow ont her mind S intent:
The ruse was good none dreamed behind
There lurkcd an heir, or any sign.
Our danscls quickly took the cue,
Although no cause 10 hide from view
Their taper forms but Fashions laws
Are followed still in spite of flaws.
Some time ago hidden rustic,
Proclaimed behind mighty hustle:
But freedom shricked and cotton's high,
So close behind now dresses lie.
Another fault, t is sad TO tell,
Is often found with the lovely belle,
Her dress. too long for flying feet,
is scant enough near bcauty's seat
Now if your dress you'd shorter cut,
And high above you d put it up
Wc'll love you more, and gladly take
And cherish YOU for Virtue sake.
Our danes and sircS did often meet,
TO chase the hours with flying feet
But hand andhand they always lent,
And never nearer ever went.
But now lady waist is resting g-placc
For any snob that cares 10 grace
An evening ball in gjddy throng
They squct Ze, aud glide, aud bob along.
Our mothers thought twas no shame
To initiate the good house-dame,
And gladly strovc by every care
TO please their lords ard help the fare.
But in this age, whon wife ne set,
We bargain for a little pet,
Whose Jewel case and White kid gloves,
Constitute her dearest loves
Now this is wrong, We mndcns fair
Then listen to my humble prayer
Shnn your glass. let Fashion slide
And Truth and Reason be your guide.

STRANGE LOVE AFFAIR.--The " Liberty Heraid,"
printed at Liberty, Union county, Indiana, re.
atcs the following;
We have been placed in possession of some
most melancholy facts in relation TO young man
and young lady, the former a resident of Prcble
county, Ohio, aud tho latter resident of Oxford.
1t appears that the young gentleman is q student
at the West Point Military Academy, and the
lady was his bctr0thed. Being absent from her
long time, he returned home about two weeks
since, and found her married and in her second
confinement, Although correspondence had
been constantly kept up between them, she had
concealed the fact of her marriage aud of course
he was startled to find how matters stood on his
return.
The young man wisely determined to let affairs
pass of quietly, and seek friends and fortune in
another place.
In view Of this determination he concluded not
to see the lady but unwise counses Of friends
prevailed with him, and he went to the house
where she resided. While ia a room adjoining
that OF the lady she heard and recognized his
voice, aud expressed desire for an intervlew
with him. lie Immediately repaired to the room,
where n most affecting scene occurred. She
asked aud obtained his pardon the interview
closed, aud they separated. but what she had
passed through was beyond her power of endu-
rance, and that night her spirit passed from earth
The young man was not Informed Of her death
until morning, when he attempted scf-deslruc-
tion by jumping into mill race not far from
where he resided. lie would have succeeded in
drowning himself but tor the accidental appear

A passenger gives the following account of an
accident on the New York and Erie Railroad.
The little one thus whistcd into life ought to
prove fast individual:
4 have frequently heard Of births on the ears,
but never was present when such drama was en-
acted till few days since, while journcying to
Gotham. At Binghampton an elderly lady and
her unmarried daughter came aboard, destined
some hundred miles or more east. whence they
intended staging it about the same distance
south.
The daughter, who sat in the seat next ahead
of me, was n large, good-looking girl, and ap-
pearcd to be rather out Of hedish-lookcd pale and
agitatcd and had frequent resort to n bottle con-

A middle aged German lady very bcnevolcnty
assisted in the operation, which passed off much
in the usual mauner--and the virgin mother
soon became, TO use an oftrcpeated phrase, MS

The grandma, who did seem to know plen-
