present on the occasion mentioned The CEN
tral figure in the story is one 30 well known to
your American readers that I feel sure anything
about him must be Of general interest.
The Opera-House is thronged with an expect
ant audience, for Theodore Wschtel Is to appear
In Der Position Won 1onjumeau," and all Leip-
zig must hear him Perhaps more than one per-
son m that sssemblage is thinking what fne
thing it is to be favorite actor, and wishing
The audience even fancy that he must be ~ I'M
patient as they for the curtain to rise and the
opera to begin. While they are waiting, let us
take peep back OF the ecenea. Tne postboy
stands at the threshold, snd tho attendants
look from ona to another with awe~struok
faces. Through the half-open door Of q
dressingrroom We see the celebrated Wachtel in
an agony Of grief, and can easily guess that the
paper be has dropped On the floor Is = telegram
with bad news. In truth it ia. for it brings word
that his Youngest son IS dying and wants TO see
him. he cannot 60; the audience must not be
disappointed; he must swallow the lump that
rises In his throat till it almost chokeF him. and
assume all the gsyetv Of Chapelon, the Position
of Loulumean. At the end Of the second act,
while the audience is making the hoase ring
with applause, Wachtel ia reading another tele-
gram This one tells him that his son ia dead
1t the end Of the third set he thrills the auai-
euce as he sings "Gute Nacht, main Herzlichea
Kind" They think the position Is singing that
song, but We know that Theodore Wachtel ls bid
