O'Hara, Ulick, and the "Doctor," a rebel prisoner._
DOCTOR.--"I brought you here to show you O'MALLEY'S hiding-place. Now
I've got you. The tide rose the moment we entered, and cut off your
retreat; we'll all be drowned like rats in a hole. Hurroo." _[O'Malley
descends into the vaults by an iron door.]_
O'MALLEY.--"Come up-stairs out of the wet. We'll have some whiskey."
_[They come up.]_
ACT II.
SCENE I.--_O'Malley's ancestral back-garret. Enter Tragic Heroine in
ball-dress, having swum across the bay._
TRAGIC HEROINE.--"Ha! also Ho! I am a little out of breath. I think I
had better faint." _(Faints.) [Enter O'Malley and his rescued enemies.]_
O'MALLEY.--"Sit down, while I go for the whiskey." _[He goes.]_
O'HARA.--"What do I see? My daughter! Take her up-stairs before O'MALLEY
returns." _(They take her up.) [Re-enter O'Malley.]_
O'MALLEY.--"Gentlemen, here is the whiskey. It is Gen. GRANT'S favorite
brand, and you'll find it all right." _[To his servant]_ "CONNER, these
men mean to arrest me. Go and set fire to the castle." _[Connor goes,
and O'Malley, locking the door, throws the key out of the window.]_
EVERYBODY.--"What do you mean by throwing away the key? Do you mean to
surround us, and, making us prisoners, drink up the whiskey yourself?"
O'MALLEY,--"'Tis a custom of our house, intended originally to give
employment to meritorious locksmiths on the eve of election. Listen
while I tell you how one of my ancestors played a nice little trick on
some officers who had come to arrest him for shooting his landlord. He
locked them up as I have locked you up. He then ordered his servant to
set the castle on fire as I have just done, and was baked with them as
we are about to be baked."
DUTCH GENERAL.--"Donner und blitzen!"
EVERYBODY ELSE.--"Tare an ounds!"
TRAGIC HEROINE, _[in the loft above]_.--"S c r r r e e e c h."
O'MALLEY.--"Heavings! That shriek. 'Tis my Grace! TRAGIC DARLING, I come
to die with you." _[Rushes up the chimney, while the Dutch General,
blowing off the lock off the door with his pistol, escapes together with
his friends. The Castle is carefully taken to pieces in sections by the
stage carpenters, while torches are flashed at intervals. Finally a
Roman candle is set off, and the O'Malley Castle falls a prey to a
carefully managed conflagration.--Curtain.]_
ACT III.
SCENE I.--_A quiet place in midst of the turnpike. Enter Cheerful
Heroine and French Officer._
FRENCH OFFICER.--"Fly with me at once."
CHEERFUL HEROINE.--"Why on earth should I fly? I have never seen you but
once."
FRENCH OFFICER.--"'Tis true; but you'll have to settle that with
BOUCICAULT. I'm sure I don't want you to fly, especially with no
property but a low-necked dress and short sleeves; but BOUCICAULT has
arranged it to suit himself."
CHEERFUL HEROINE--"In that case I will fly." _[Enter the_ DOCTOR _and a
band of patriots.]_
DOCTOR.--"O'MALLEY is a prisoner in the fort. We are going to have him
out, dead or alive."
FRENCH OFFICER.--"These are the counsels of madness. Why don't you get
an injunction, or something of that kind, and so get him out peaceably."
DOCTOR.--"It's too late. Besides, Mr. BOUCICAULT wants to end the play
with a fight."
CHEERFUL HEROINE.--"I will manage it all. I will let down a rope from
the fort. You shall all be drawn up and rescue O'MALLEY. Nothing could
be more simple. Come and be drawn up." _[They come.]_
SCENE. II.--_Interior of the O'Malley's cell. Enter Tragic Heroine._
TRAGIC HEROINE.--"'Tis he!'tis he! Though how he managed to change his
clothes and put on such a nice coat, I can't imagine. Dearest, awake!"
O'MALLEY.--"Who calls? Is it the boy with the beer? Ha! my own darling.
Come to this embroidered waistcoat."
TRAGIC HEROINE.--"I have agreed to marry ULICK on condition he permits
you to escape."
O'MALLEY.--"Ha! base girl. Would ye onconvenience yourself to save me?
Never! I will not consent to your marrying ULICK. Try some other little
game, darlint"
TRAGIC HEROINE.--"I will." _[Exit.]_
SCENE III.--_The castle moat. O'Malley in the ditch standing in a
picturesque attitude. The Dutch General stands on the summit of a wall
three feet high, and leaning over the battlements--which tower to the
height of three inches--hands O'Malley a pardon. Enter Tragic Heroine
and everybody else._
TRAGIC HEROINE.--"O'MALLEY. I have saved you. Now save me. I have just
married ULICK. Kill him for me."
ULICK _and_ O'MALLEY _accordingly slash each other across the legs with
their rapiers._ O'MALLEY _kills_ ULICK _and embraces the TRAGIC HEROINE.
Everybody shouts "Hurroo!" and the curtain falls._

SARSFIELD YOUNG'S PANORAMA.
PART II.
THE ALPS.
These mountains, which are permanently located in Switzerland, and
favorably mentioned in all the geographies, are justly admired by
tourists for their grandeur, natural beauty, and good hotel
accommodations.
This is a view at sunrise, by one of the early painters. Everything is
up, but Mont Blanc is up more than his neighbors. The whole landscape is
bathed in the golden glories of the orb of day. A bath in the morning is
invigorating indeed.
These Peaks are clustered around in silent majesty. It looks as though
the entire PEAK family had come here and settled. These snow-capped
summits, wild ravines, mountain torrents, and the series of crags which
WILLIAM TELL was in the habit of addressing, are truly soul-inspiring.
Here is a guide with his party. These guides are well-trained men, who
never bolt, but always go with their party--the ultramontane. They are
of high birth, and descended from the best Alpen Stock.
No one should pass the season in Switzerland without seeing these
mountains. They will repay a perusal.
While the prices may not be extravagant enough for Americans, still,
those who have scaled these noble elevations may well account the
prospect as one of the most striking features of a foreign climb.
A SCENE IN THE TROPICS.
This gorgeous painting brings before you all the luxuriance of tropical
vegetation. Magnolias and palm trees wave their heads proudly, while
bananas, oranges, and bread fruit abound in rank profusion. Here the
cane brake stretches away as far as the eye can reach (and to those who
are not near-sighted still farther), recalling those beautiful lines of
the poet:--
"Break, break, break!"
The broad river in the foreground, mountains melting away on the horizon
(that's because they're volcanic), and the sun broiling and sizzling
high up in the heavens, are deliciously blended together. Our artist,
full of perspiration (he can blend better than any man we ever ployed),
has seized upon a moment when all Nature seems to say: ("Steady there,
what makes that canvas wriggle so?")
Notice the warmth of coloring; and see to what a high degree of art the
general effect is carried-about 90° Fahrenheit in the shade. This
picturesque object is an alligator basking in the sun. Our advice to
inexperienced travellers is: "Let him bask!"
These cotton fields, rice plantations, and the colored member of
Congress addressing his constituents on the right, all stamp this scene
as unmistakably Southern.
We will cancel the stamp and move on.
In our next we shall find that our artist has given himself more
latitude, say about eighty degrees North.
WINTER IN SPITSBERGEN.
Behold these regions of eternal ice and snow--miles upon miles of frozen
real estate. There is a great ice monopoly here. All, all is blank;
except the ship over in this corner. She is a prize. This is the place
to buy thermometers; you'll generally find them going very low. The
weather in this region is mostly day and night, but rather irregularly
divided between the two.
You see these people with rough beards and red shirts, looking like New
York firemen? You take one to be MOSE? You are right--they are
Esquimaux. They are a tough, and hardy race. Though not precisely
students, they yet consume the midnight oil--chiefly as a beverage.
This great work is the combined production of thirteen artists; twelve
of them, perishing in the attempt, were handsomely buried at our
expense; and the survivor is now keeping a bar, for his own consumption,
at St. Paul, Minnesota. He was compelled to lay aside the brush, which
accounts for the water in this corner not being frozen, as the contract
stipulated. But this allows the ship to which I referred to float
comfortably.
These small buildings are settlements. They are not so frequent here as
in New York or Chicago, where business men inform me they occur about as
often as--once in two years.
"Ice cream for sale," on this sign, has a flavor of civilization in it.
Woman does not go to the poles here, although one of them is only a few
miles distant in a northerly direction, with excellent sleighing.
I would make a passing allusion to this figure, introduced by artist
number nine, to please the young people. It represents a Spitsbergen
lover. He is clad in fur, and has a catarrh. He is just now oh his
sneeze, warbling hoarsely: "Rein deer in this bosom!"
_(Sentimental strains from the melodeon.)_
THE GRAND CANAL.
This is not the Erie Canal, but the Grand Canal of Venice. It does not
own so many mules, or forward so much corn and flour, as the New York
concern, but is more airy and picturesque. It is surrounded by palaces;
but what is a palace without a mother?
These swan-like men-of-war are gondolas. Our skipper is called a
gondolier. Every other skipper is called something worse than that if he
gets in our skipper's way. I respect a man's calling; that is, if he
follows it up energetically.
The Rialto, with its busy throngs.
The Bridge of Sighs, where Lord Byron is said to have stood on either
hand.
A group of native beggars. This man is blind. With this Venetian blind
we beg leave to close this scene.
SARSFIELD YOUNG.
* * * * *
The Flesh-pots or Paris.
A late newspaper item states as follows:--
"The Archbishop of Paris has given permission to use horse-flesh on fast
days."
It is lucky for Mr. BONNER'S crack horses, then, that they are not
stabled in Paris just now, since they are all considered first-rate for
Fast days.
