We CALL attention of our readers to the ad-
vertisement of the Soluble Pacific Guano
which appears in this issue. The Pacific
Guano Co., of Boston, of which Messrs.
Sharpless 4 Carpenter, of Philadelphia, are
agents, are making very handsome display
at the Centennial. Their pavilion, east of the
Woman's Building, contains all the crude
articles that enter into their Manufactured
Guano, and surrounding this Pavilion, in
about an acre of ground, the company has a
beautiful display Of Corn, Tobacco, Cotton,
Vegetables and Flowers, all growing in
ground where the Soluble Pacific Guano has
been used. The exhibit is worth a careful
examination on the part of our agricultural
friends.

plaint Dropsy, Ieter, Tumors and Salt Rkeum,
Worms, Gout, Neuralgia, as a Dinner Pill, and
Purifying the Blood, are the most congenial
purgative yet perfected. Their effects abund-
antly show how much they excel all other
Pills. They are safe and pleasant 10 take, but
powerful to cure. They purge out the foul
humors of the blood they stimulate the slug
gish or disordered organs into action; and
they impart health and tone to the whole
being. They cure not only the every day
complaints of every body, but formidable and
dangerous diseases. Most skilful physicians,
most eminent clergymen, and our best citizens
send certificates of cures performed, and of
great benefits derived from these Pills. They
are the safest and best physic for children, be-
cause mild as well as efectual. Being sugar
coated they are easy to take; and being purely
vegetable, they are entirely harmless.

Merced Theatre.

Piper's Opera House company
opened their second engagement in
our city at Merced Theatre last even
ing. There was fair audience pres
ent and, SO far as we can judge, every
body was highly pleased with the en-
tertainment. The play of Erin go
Bragh was presented, and we may
say that every part was acceptably
filled. 1t was not difficult to recognize
in it the former favorites, Mr., j. Ash
ton, Miss Ella Badger, and Little
Doiritt. In addition to the former
company the troupe now comprises
Miss Louise Irving, the Mocking Bird
vocalist, and Herr Nelson the emf
nent Danish violin soloist. We have
no hesitation in pronouncing Mr..
Nelson q wonderful performer on the
violin-one of the best who has ever
visited our city and, perhaps equal to
Sauret or Ole Bull. Miss Irving car
ried the house by her remarkably cul-
tured voice in the operatic pieces. This
afternoon the play of Andy Blake will
be presented together with musical
gems by Miss Louise Irving and Herr
Nelson, and song and dance by Lit
tie Dorritt. This evening will be pre-
santed the comedy of the Happy Pair
and the screaming farce of A Kiss in
the Dark.

ST. Patrick's Day.

The celebration in honor of st. Pat
rick yesterday reflected credit on the
public spirited Irishmen of of our city
who took part in it. The line of pro-
cession was formed on Spring street
about 12 O'Clock noon, and comprised
the members of the Ancient Order of
Hibernians and Catholic Total Absti-
nence Society, headed by Desmond's
band. There were not far from two
hundred in line, and they made
very creditable appearance. The
members of the A. o. III. wore their
green bordered regalia, which set
them off in good style. The line of
march was first taken to the Sisters
School, where the procession was
greeted by chorus of Misses, who
are scholars of the school. Thence
they proceeded to st. Vincent College,
where short address was delivered
by Father Flynn, and finally they
brought up at Turn Verein Hall and
were disbanded. All over the city
flags were flying during the day, and
in the evening the festivities were
concluded by
TWO BALLS,
Given at Turn-Verein Hall and
Stearns' Hall, under the auspices, re-
spectively, of the A. o. H., and Irish

places fine companies were assembled
and everything passed off in the most
