WANTED HER SALARY.
Exciting Scene in a Chicago
Thsater.
A Prima Donna Refuses to
Continue Her Part,
And Explains Her Reason to
the Audience.
An Exciting Scene.

CHICAGO. April 24-There was a re-
markable scene te night during the per-
Torrance of the opera of Lucia di Lam
nermoor, at the grand opera house, by
the Milan Grand Italian opera company.
The audience was miserably small and
very apathetic and the singers were
thoroughly DISCOURAGED at their failure to
draw. The audience were preparing to
sit through the last act and were non
chalently watching the left wing for the
appearance of Lucia" They watched
in vain. The chorus stood in mute
amazement and the musicians in the or
chestra just grinned. The audience
stamped their feet and clapped their
hands, while the gallery Kissed repeatedly.
The curtain was rung down and there was
a pause Of a few minutes. Finally Senior
Alberto Serati, the manager OF the com
pany made his appearance on the stage
and said that Miss Eva Cummings. who
was singing the role Of Lucia had sud
denly become i'll and was ~indisposed to
continue her part of the performance;
however the opera would go on without
her. While Serati was speaking LUCAS
face appeared at the other side Of the
stage, her eye fastened on the manager.
When he concluded she exclaimed.
That is not so; not one word he has
uttered is true. l want my salary"
Her face was Withdrawn. and the audi
ence relapssd into cheers and Kisses. The
curtain was drawn again, and Miss Cum
mings. arrayed in the white costume of
Lucia walked to the center of the
stage. In her right hand she held the
dagger with which she was to have ended
"Lucia's" existence. She aourished it in
no gentle manner, and declared:
81 have received no money from the
management this week. That is my rea
son for not singing" and the prima donna
bowed herself gracefully to the left side of
the stage. She turned to make her exit,
but the curtain was held fast by invisible
forces inside. and she turned toward the
right exit,
'Ill get off this stage some way she
exclaimed, and with a rush she pushed the
curtain back. She had got about half
way through when an invisible force again
tried to pin the curtain against her exit.
The white robed Lucia" s~tubbornly per-
sisted. Suddenly and with a jerk the cur-
tain was drawn, but whether it was be-
Of the dagger or of the result of the
applause of the audience that induced
them to so quietly let the curtain alone,
no one present was able to say. The
grave yard scene without the buried
Lucia was done to the satisfaction Of
everybody.

The Hero of Fort Fisher.

Before the attack on Fort Fisher,
Terry visited Admiral Porter on
board his flagship and arranged with
him his plan of attack. In this
Porter was to direct the fire of the
squadron upon certain parts of the
fort according to flag signals from
Terry. This was the first time in
the war that such an arrangement
was made. By it certain parts OF
OF the walls We're cleared of its de-
tenders. So that the storming party
we're enabled to surmount them, and
effected a Judgement within. There
the struggle was continued for hours,
the enemy being driven from the ease
mate TO casemate in severe bloody
hand toll hand fight. This was the
that had been successfully stormed.
When tiss news of the fall of the fort
reached Washington, Gen. Butler was
in the act of testifying before 'the
Committee of Congress onthe Conduct
of the War" that the fort was impreg-
nable. a veritable Gibraltar-that it
could not be taken. Suddenly their
attention was arrested by the cries
of the newsboys under the window;
Fort Fisher takenl Fort Fisher

soon upon tie heels OF Buffers
failure, was tremendous. Congress

turned Terry their thanks and com

A PitiabIc Sight.

A most pitiable sight was seen by a
large congregation in a church near
Smyrna postoffice, in this county, when
the Rev. Downey Blair, of the Cum
berland Presbyterian church, was en-
gagged preaching his Sunday sermon.
A few days since the telegraph bore a
dispatch from some point in Kansas
to the newspapers over the country,
containing an account of the slaughter
OF his family by one JOHN Blair, and
the subsequent bangingof Blair by the
Infatuated citizens. The particulars
OF the fearful tragedy were briefly yet
horribly told at the time, but as Rev.
Blair lives in secluded quarter he
never saw paper or heard of the oc-
currence. 1t appears that Rev. Mr..
Blair has son John in Kansas. whom
he supposed was living quietly with
his family and prospecting finely.
While engaged on his sermon, a mes
enger boy arrived at the church, and
rushing wildly up TO the pulpit at
traeted the minister's attention by
waving a sealed envelope at him.
The minister stopped short his ora
ton, opened and read the message,
and then swooning fell to the floor as
il he had been shot. This caused the
widest excitement in the congregation.
Members rushed forward and finally
Succeeded in carrying the PROSTATE
minister TO fresh air. where he was re-
viyed. 1t was learned that the missive
contained news that the John Blair
mentioned in the dispatches alluded
to from Kansas was none other than

Called a Tom-Boy.

What changes the last century has
brought in the education of women!
Only few years ago there was not a
COLLEGE in the land whose doors were
open to women. To-day there are
many colleges where young women
can enjoy the same educational adj,
yantages as are accorded young men.
The feeling no longer exists that a
woman has no need of an education.
1t may be difficult for the present
generation to believe that less than a
hundred years ago it was so unusual
Ia. thing for girl, even at the com.
mon school, to advance in her studies
.as far as her brothers, that if one
attempted to do it, she often became
the butt OF ridicule. The following
true incident in "reminiscences OF
Wilmington" serves as an illustration;
In the earlier history of Wilmington
there was school taught by Master
Wilson where the boys and girls &c.
qllired the rudiments of an education.
A girl WHO advanced as far in arith-
metic as simple division was con.
sidered quite proticient-for a girl.
Farther than this was considered a
waste OF time, which had better be
spent in making patchwork, spinning,
knitting and the like. For what
use," said these simple villagers, "can
it be for a woman TO know more?"
There was one girl in Master vii.
sons school who showed unusual
fondness for. her "figurin'" She per-
suaded her parents to allow her to
keep on with class OF boys through
the "double rule OF three" But for
this perseverance she was teased a
good deal, and was called 'the tom
boy with her big slate. "
