THE ST.. PATRIcK's DAY PARADE
Owing to certain jcalousies Of the officers
OF the St. Patrick and Hibernian societies
MS to who shall take the lead in the pa.
rade, the latter organization will not turn
out on the 18th Of March. This fact is
really food for thought for those who
would lay down their lives for the liberty
Of Ireland and the union of Irishmen.
We trust the members OF the societies
themselves-not the ofFicers--for the Irish
laborer has ever been noted for his patri-
otism, will take hold Of the matter be-
fore it is too late, and do proper honor
to the day. Americans, too, might with
equal pride assist in the celebration, as
next Friday is not only the anniversary
Of 1reland's patron saint, it is likewise
the centennial Of the evacuation OF Boston
by tho British.

"THE Two ORrHANs."-Mr. Mckee
Rankin and the company supporting
him appeared at the Opera House last
evening in the beautiful drama called
"The Two Orphans" in which he appear
ed in his original character Of Jacques
Frouchard," as played by him during the
extraordinary run Of the piece at Union
Square Theatre, New York. This pop
ular drama draws the best houses OF any
play we know, maintains its hold
Of them with wonderful tenacity,
and therein it loudly proclaims
its power US an attraction and worth as
true dramatic story and picture Of life.
At the first presentation Of it hereby the
Kurdish party some months ago we en-.
deavorcd to analyze its materials and
structure and effects, and it is quite un-
necessary to 60 into all these details now.
The play has been seen and felt, and
judged by large audiences here and else
where, and they have rendered an unre-
versatile verdict.
Mr.. Rankin has for several years en-
joyed high reputation as an actor. In
1.-THE Two Orphans" he takes two charac-
tiers, Jacques Frouchard" and "Chevalier
Maurice De Vaudrey," and he fills the
parts admirably. Possessed Of hand
some face and figure, an elegant and ma
tural reader, and having that rare grace
which is the browning feature OF the real
actor, Mr.. Rankin is admirably suited to
sustain two characters which are directly
opposite in their nature. Mr.. Rankin is
ably supported by his company, the most
prominent features Of which besides him
self are Mr.. Samuel w. Percy as "Pierre
Frouchard," Miss Kitty Blanchard as
"Louise" and Miss Sadie Radcliffe as
"Henriette." All the company are admit
rably adapted to Mr.. Rankins treatment
Of his dual role, and it is no wonder they
awaken the thunders Of the auditorium.
The piece was superbly mounted, and
tho scenery and appointments were ex-
ceedingly beautiful and picturesque. The
audience was Of course enthusiastic, and
the production Of the piece proved a most
gratifying success in every particular. 1t
will be repeated this evening, and will
probably enjoy good run here, ms it has
in every city where it has been presented.
