Ashley in london, in the course OF the per-
fermance fofioth spectacular drama of the
n Hattie of Waterloo In one of the scenes
Napoleon, accompanied by his staff, rides on
the stage. ~ On this occasion an aide de-
camps horse suddenly became restiye, and
the rider, who was apparently an inexperi-
enced horseman, was unable to manage him.
The animal began prsncing about the stage,
then backed to the foothghts, which he
smashed, and finally iell backwards into the
orchestra, throwing his rider and creating the
utmost alarm among the occupants Of the
stalls. The musieians tried to escape from
the dangerous proximity OF their unweeome
and unexpected visitant; but one poor fellow
had his collar bone broken, and had to be
conveyed to the Hospital 'The damage done
to the instruments was considerable. Vio-
Inns, violincelos, flutes and fageolets were
broken to atoms, and the music was torn and
scattered in every direction. The horse with
some difficulty was extrcated, aad after a de-
. Lay, OF about twenty minutes Napoleon, hav-
ing recovered from this preliminary de eat,
proceeded with his dramatic warfare only to

Seldom indeed has ever any event occurred
In South Washington that has produced so
profound sensation and so deep a regret as
has the death Of Marie f., eldest daughter Of
several days hsr dangerous illness was Known W.
but u seemed almost impossible to realize the
fact that 9 spirit so young, Joyous, bright, and
beautiful was destined so soon to be called.
The friends who hourly Inquired after her
eminentiy not only the Idol OF the home circle,
but also Of that wider social circle In which
she so joyously mingled In the very germ OF
her wonsnhood, was TO be drawn AWAY and
forever hidfrom our sight. But, alas, inscrut.
she is in her CONN. The tall and grscefui
nGure 10 stin and motionless. Tho sparkling
eye 70 closed and lustreless. The voice, so
sweet and musical, . hushed and still. Her
cheek has lost Its bloom, and we are allowed
while It lasted for q day, still leaves behind
undyinR memory Of Its beauty and fragrance,
We have often heard OF the "eioqucnce OF
siience,n but never TIL this morning, 10 Grace
church Sunday school, did We ever fully know
where she was so well known and dearly loved
as associate and teach err there, as we met, all
felt, and oh, how kecnly, that one OF our mum.
Who Gould to-day hear tho choir without
feeling that the voice that 50 recently led
would never again be heard. II was felt BY
all, and no language could possibly convey 90
beautiful and afectionste q tribute to her
worth as was conveyed BY the deep sigh, and
te0a.s so sSs p ps sGs
oar heartfelt sympathyj more we cannot give.
We can only hope. A. doubtless all will, as to.
morrow We look for the last time upon her
lifeless form, that we may meet her again.
Her funeral VIII take place from Grscc church
