THE AMPHlrHEATER:-Crow nightly attend the
theater to see something in the way Of riding never
seen before in New Orleans-the remarkable per.
formance of Mile Loyae, the Partisan equestrienne,
who comes nearer to a bird than any biped without
feathers that we ever saw-but in fact she outdoes
bird, for she absolutely flies without WINGS In her
graceful body are wonderfully combined the qualities
of strength and agility, and she is daring as ever
masculine hero was. Camille was fool to her in
grace and agility, and the Queen of the Amazons
was just learning to ride compared with the science
of la belle Loyale. The doings Of the other per-
formers are, next to hers. the most wonderful circus
performances in the country.

How THE PROFESSOR Cor Our OF THE WELL.-A
few years ago Professor -, of Bowdoin College,
was oyerseer of the building Of the High School
house in Brunswick In the cellar Of the same was a
well, ,caAed with brick, whose sides were conse-
quently smooth. One day, being left alone in the
building, he went down cellar and in his haste un-
consciously attempted to walk over the well, and
unconscionsly fell into it. Here was q predcament
for any one possessing no more immortality than
college professor standing in five feet Of water at
the bottom of well sixteen feet deep, at the bottom
OF deep cellar, with no soul in hearing distance!
After shouting himself hoarse he bethought himself
of piece of chalk-a remnant OF the last recitation
which he applied to the walls, to solve his stua.
tion The statement of the question was-let equal
how shall get out equal depth Of water equal
distance to the water aud by means Of his know
ledge Of algebra be actually ,vorked himself out, won.

The ST. CHARLEs-" Othello" was played last
night to heavy house, Mr.. Booth personating Iago,
and something worth seeing and remembering, too,
was it to watch him portray the subtle vllany of the
most consummate wretch that pen ever pictured. We
do consider Booths Lago as perfect rendering of
that character as may be, until Booth himself i'm
proves upon his own excellence that is possible but
it is impossible that any living actor can improve
upon Booth In this most difficult character, as played
by him. Satan takes the form of Adonis, and his vii.

the fair shape that enacts it, He no common loud.

Mr.. Pope played the Moor, well and powerfully in
most portions, perhaps somewhat too voeerously in
others. Shakespeare meant Otleilo should be strong
and vigorous the foil and contrast of the cool and
quiet lago; but there are some scenes in which
stormy suppression of passion would have manifested
its raging violence more appropriately than tearing
windy, fury. Asa WHOLE Ohelo was quite well done.

PROFESSOR VEGAS BALL.-The first ball Of Pro
fessor Vegas, this season, took place on Tuesday
night. We need hardly describe how tremendously
and brilliantly crowded was Odd Fellows Hall, for it
really seemed as if everybody was there.
During the early hours of the night. the grown
folks were packed in deep and solid strata all round
the hail. to witness the joy Of the children and the
great terpsichorean accomplishment instilled into
them by the able Professor and head of the excite
ment. All were dressed beautifully, and many of
them danced like fairies; affording the greatest
pleasure to the multitudinous spectators, and the
greatest pride and delight to their mammas and
papas.
At eleven o'clock the children simmered down, and
there was an overwhelming irrupton of the adults
into the dancing We should rather say, that
the smaller children simmered down; those Of larger
size the buds of beauty and sprgs of gaantry, who
rejoice in the blissful interregnum between chilhood
and YOUTH considering themselves still entitled to the
floor, and keeping ahead accordingly. The appear
and activity of the dancers betokened the most
unbounded and hilarious happiness; to use an en-.
tirely original and er-beore-thought.of express
sion, the night flew by on golden wings !" and, to
use one more expression, which we have never yet
seen quoted, Chat is, not over several thousand
times,)-
Soft eyes looked love to which spake again.
And all went merry a marriage bell |"
The truth of it is, that Professor Vegas is great
terpsichorean maestro, which is abundanty proven
by the unvaryng size and beauty of his terpsichorean
reunions.

He who comes to Europe with the belief that the

his soul that the masses of the Old World have moth
ing to do do but sing hosannahs to the American
Eagle; who thinks that whenever an American citi.
zen makes his appearance, all Europedom must needs
take off his hat will wake up to find himself the vic.
tim of great and cruel deluson. The fact is, we
are not half so much thought Of by these willy bar
barians as we imagine. Our country, of which ,ce
osentatiousy proud is not rated at such tre-
mendous pumkns by the world at large as our vanity
leads us to think In the for East, more especially,
our fame is as sounding brass and tinklng cymbal.
We are regarded as in some way sort Of appendix to
Engand-as sort Of political fungus clingng to the
skirts of the British Isles. Beyond that, they know
tle-except that we come to the East to get civilized

are better known if not more cordially despsed With
