THE Rapparee."

This drama will be presented at the
Academy tomorrow evening. The plot
turns upon the two inevitables of dramatic
sensation-love and war. The scene is
laid in Ireland The hero of the drama is
Roderick OMalLcy, chief of a band of
Rapparees, species of guerrillas en-
gagged in the service of King James.
He is in love with Grace OHara, the
daughter of Williamite officer in high
command in Connaught. There is an ugly
rival-Ulic NcMurragh-in the way, ,swhose
intense desire of obtaining the hand of
Grace leads him to intrigue the delivery of
the Rapparee leader into the hands of
General Ginkel. who commands the forces
for King William.
BY one Of those strange turns found in
dramas, the Willamite General Gmkcl be-
comes indebted for his life to the Rapparee,
OMalley At length Grace, ignorant that
General Ginkel has from gratitude to
OMalley, procured pardon for him, in
despair of saving him otherwise, as the
only means for his preservation, marries
McHurogh. A duel with swords takes
place between the rivals. McMmragh is
perforated by OAalley. and does the only
good act he ever performed he dies, and
the RLpparee Chief, O'falley, claims the
hand of his true love-

Thi. establishment was sraced last even

beautiful historical play Of Richelieu.'
written by Bulwer. and performed by
members of the Shakespeare Club, for the
benefit of the Lee Monumental Fund. The
performance was a complete success, both
i'll financial point of view and the .anner
in which the actors acquitted themselves.
We have seldom witnessed the attention of
so large and intelligent an audience so com
pletely riveted to the performance of play.
The character of Cardinal Richctieu was
rendered by Hon. G. II. Braughn in a
style far surprising many who have at
tempted it that make the stage their proies
sion. His reading is excellent, and he
played with great judgment throughout.
Miss Nellie Wallace as .Julie de Mortenar
did exceedingly well. SO did Miss Annie
Vaughn in the character of Francois, and
Mrs. Kate Schubert as Marion Delornse.
Every character was well sustained, and
the performance was applauded in every
act. particularly the fourth act, when the
performers were encorcd after the curtain
had fallen, and compelled to appear to re
ceive the manifestations Of appreciation
evinced by the audience.

EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
SIR-The writer has read with in
terest your issue of to-day, and most par
ticularlv notes the articles headed Two
Shoemakers and " How to be Politicians"
and while readily conceiving the inesti
mable value of your sound advice to the
mechanic, and fully concurring with the
sentiments you express as parallels to my
ideas, and not inconsistent with my remarks
at the shoemaker's meeting" as recorded
by you in your journal of the twenty-tirst,
| beg leave to correct your Interpretation
of my motives, which you take the liberty
of attributing to individual policy. With
out an axe to grind l was axed (asked)
by hole-soled shoemaker to visit a,cl his
friends night before last. where, without
the least intention of log-rolling, met, for
the first time, a gentleman called Small
wood, who did not attempt to hindle politi-
cal fires, foot up the dement's Of political
enemies, or drive peg calculated to make
a shoemaker acGr warm on the political
questions Of the day; and as a "stitch
in time saves nine,' please know, that
if you desire to hammer me unjustly
for being the guest of the shoemakers,
and will not confne your criticisms
to the remarks | made, you will find me
more impervous to unjust blows than the
calfskin of honest Jacob Mueller.
Fully Endorsing your remarks, persOali-
ties excepted. | am your obedient servant,

Evening-The event of the week was the
squeeze in cash gold to supply the gold for
daily use, which is small and steadily de-
creasing under the absorption by the
Treasurer for duties. The supply is con-
centrated in few hands, enabling them to
control the market of the gold room. Re
lief to this scarcity OF gold will come
shortly in new interest.
Exchange very dull and nominal
The only feature of interest in Wall street
to-day, was the squeeze in cash gold at the
opening. The borrowing rate was put up to
a by one of the Canada banks, but a
rumOr that the November interest would
be anticipated on Monday, caused fall to
u. The rumOr was denied, and the rate
was advanced as high as = for the use of
gold till Monday.
This manipulation completely demoral-
ICES foreign exchange.
Gold opened at 1l29s CLIPS, late in the
day became firm, and closed at lib.
The scarcity of gold has seldom been as
marked as today, and will remain SO till

A WONDERFUL CASE.
A Thief Stripped and Almost Licked to
Death by Cows.

A gentleman residing in the suburbs of
Pittsburg. Pa, has an orchard Of very
choice fruit, and he was greatly annoyed by
a trespasser who would visit the orchard at
night and carry off large quantities of apples
and other fruit One morning two men
passing along the road saw a man lying
under a tree in the orchard and near the
roadside. He was covered with blood and
his clothing reduced to mere tatters. At
first it was supposed that the man was dead,
but means were heard, and the men went
over to ascertain what was the matter
They found the man almost exhausted
and unable to move himself They pro-
cured water, and, after giving the injured
man drink, he recovered sufficiently to
tell them his name and place of residence.
He declined 6rst to tell them how he came
to be in the condition he was found, but
was finally persuaded to give an explana-
ton. He told them he had visited the
orchard for the purpose of obtaining some
apples, and had climbed up tree to pre-
vent detection. While engaged in picking
the fruit he suddenly missed his foothold
and fell to the ground. He was rendered
unconscious, but did not know how long he
remained so. When he recovered his con-
sciOusness he felt no pain, but on attempt
were paralyzed. He did not call for assist
ance, for fear that he would be arrested,
and concluded that he would remain
until morning He soon felt drowsy sen
sation, and would have fallen asleep but for
a noise which aroused him, and on looking
up saw two cows near by. The animals ad
vanced toward him, and one of them COM
menced licking his face and hands. He
tried to drive them away, but they had
tasted the brackish perspiration which
covered his hands and face, and he found it
impossible Ito frighten them. His torment
ors persisted in licking him, and finally
commenced tearing his coat and flannel
shirt, thus enlarging the exposed surface.
This process continued until his body was
almost denuded, and the flesh lacerated by
the teeth of the animals The licking with the
rasp-like tongues lasted until the blood
OOzed from his arm breast and face, and
the unfortunate victim sunk away from
mere exhaustion, after using every exertion
in his power to keep the animals away. The
men were convinced that the statement
was true, and it was corroborated by the
appearance of the man. They Immediately
conveyed hum to his home, and q physician
was summoned to attend him. The treat
ment at first was directed to the decorations
of the flesh. but before these were healed it
was found that the fall had affected some
of the internal organs, one of which was
ruptured. The man was subsequently re-
moved to hospital where he is still under
treatment, although no hopes Of his re-
covery are entertained.
