1Ur CENTENNIAL 0f''7e.

Since the celebration at Lexington and
Concord, public attention has been more
;ntently turned toward the celebration OF
the Centenary of American lndepend-
deuce. 10 take place at Philadelphia next
wear. The recent celebration by its awak-
ening of patriotic ardor and calling up
aoain the grand old scenes and struggles
at the formation Of this republican gov
eminent. has created an impulse that
would be felt upon the Philadelphia Cen
tennial were nothing farther done TO keep
in motion and strengthen it, but with the
effort and accessories that will be brought
to sustain and increase the inspiration OF
Lexington and Concord the effect OF that
impulse will be vastly augmented. There
is scarcely village in the country we dare
saw where the events of 1775 are not now
being discussed, and to discourse Of Lex
ington without thinking and talking of the
Declaration of Independence and the OBJ
servance Of its Centenary is quite inn
possible to an American citizen. So the
celebration of next year is fully before the
public, as il never has been before. Many
are thinking of attending it who did not
dream month ago of doing so. More
are coming to see that it is an event in re-
gard TO which the nation and States and
communities cannot afford to be Indifferent
tho
national character sense of the impor-
lance and value of our institutions it will
be the event of our history thus far.
But beside this it will represent such
wonderful growth of the nation in art,
science, industry, wealth, education, in
all the ways of material progress. that the
effect will be TO create better apprecia-
ton of our country and higher respect
for it than we could possibly have without
such an exposition. To think of what this
country was hundred years ago, and
then to consider by the aid of the repre-
sensations at Philadelphia what it is now,
is way of realizing our true greatness

bilities, better than any which has yet
been offered by the census or other publica-
tions, or will be offered again probably
for the next hundred years.
Then the mingling together of people
from all the States, celebrating in COM
mon the birth of our nation, rejoicing in
its prosperity, mutually comparing pro-
ducts, claiming equally the honors of be-
longing to and being part of the mar
velous exhibition of national growth and
power, feeling the ties of brotherhood
stretching out and embracing more
strongly all parts of the Union, these will
do much to make US one people in heart
and thought, much to erase the scars of
the late rebellion and mend the links OF
sympathy and hrotherly kindness which it
broke. Let our friends in Maine appoint
ed TO forward the Centennial work do
their part to have our State properly rep
resented. The time in which to labor is
short. let it be improved as the honor OF
the State and the good cause demand.

THE GARRICK CLUB.

The approaching entertainment of this splen-
did amateur organization, which occurs on We'd
nesday evening, 26th inst, promises to be enc Of
the most elegant performances ever given in this
city.
The Club is composed of well-known gentle
men, and the LIST Of actors embraces the names
Of several Of the most prominent amateurs OF
this city.
A marked feature of the entertainment will be
the excellent taste and good judgment which has
been shown by the managers, in limiting the
number of tickets to the comfortable seating
capacity Of the house, and opening the box Office
two days in advance, to enable the guests to
secure seats, and thus avoid the crush which has
heretofore been such a disagreeable incident OF
amateur performances.
The play of the "Hunchback has been &C.
lected for the express purpose Of introducing
fair debutante in the character OF Julia, ard We
are assured that the young lady hes given I'M
doubted evidence Of histrionic abilities Of high
character. Mr. Tim O'Neile, so long connected
with the Shakespeare Club in its p&lmy days,
will be the Master Walter, and Mr.. Chas. F.
Buck, formerly Of the Orleans Dramatic Asso-
citation, will personate Sir Thomas Clifford. The
cast is an excellent one, and we have no doubt
the initial entertainment Of the Garrick Club
will prove brilliant success.
