first time, by tho Mccullough compa-
ny, and will hencoforth be a favorito
dramS with them. The play affords
many striking passages, and gives Nc
Cullough ample opportunity, in the
title role, to betray his wondrous pow
ers of elocution and acting. He seems
to breathe an atmosphere burdened
with tragedy. Every toneof his voice
thrills to themarrow when surrounded
by the rude utensils Of war, and falls
like sweetest music on the car when
in the bosom of his family. His face
is a mirror, and pictures the passion
within. The watchword Of the piece
is Liberty" and finds an echoing
chord in the bosom of every freeman.
The audience was in perfect sympathy
with the great tragediaa, and he fire.
Quently aroused them to expressions
of enthusiasm. To a student of hu-
man nature it was interesting to
noticethe sympathetic feeling betrayed
by the people in the galleries, when
the Bondman of Kent has his per-
secutors in his power, and with knife
to throat, farely loves his victim, the
of his mother and the de-
stroyer of his happiness. Fred B.
Warde, as Lord Clifford, showed to
much better advantage than before,
and his acting was frequently ap,
plauded. H. A. Langdon, as Friar
Lacey, was a good success, and man
aged in accordance with his character
to stir the heart-blood Of his hearers
without compromising his priestly
sanctity. Lord Say, John A.. Lane.
was just what one would picture, did
hethink of the despotic and pampered
of that period, and sustained
his part we'll, as did the entire com
pany, though the part of Marianne.
by Miss Kate Forsythe, was, next to
Mccullough, the most noticeable and
ofmention. Her acting was
true to life, and her ease and grace of
manner, both in the magic and the
tender passages, was extremely pleas
ing. Tonight Macbeth will be the
attraction.
HOBBIES.
A play made to delight. These
delights, if thou canst give, Mirth
thee | mean to live The fore.
is the caption of the Weathers-
Goodwin F%roliQucs programme,
the piece the troupe appear in
will be presented at Leubrie's theater
next Monday night. Songs and com
i%calitics are made to run through a
most entertaining comedy sketch, and
there will be fairies and pretty dan
seuses and a great deal of fun. Dur
ing the action Of the piece, Mr.. n. c..
will interpolate limitations of
Barrett, Raymond, Jefferson,
Robson, Fechter, Mayo, and other
lights of the dramatic frma-
ment. The performance is gay, spark
ling and festive, full of hits at popular
and it has been a great success
wherever presented.
THE HONEYMOON"
To morrow afternoon the exquisite
comedy Of THE Honeymoon will be
presented at the theater for the benefit
of the Irish relief fund. In the fem
part Of Juliana, such lights of a
past generation as Julia Dean, Eliza
Logan, Fanny Kemble, Anne Cora
Mowatt, and other stars in the histri-
armament, all won celebrity and
afforded great amusement. The part
of Duke Aranza to be essayed by Mr.
Mccullough, is one of equal interest,
and the mock duke is an excruci-
atingly funny character. The comedy
will be given in a splendid manner by
Mr.. Mccullough and his company,
and the light piece of the "Conjugal
Lesson will also be a portion of the
programme. The bill should draw a
crowded audience.
THE RYANs.
The Ryan comedians were at
Brownsville last night aud drew two
excellent houses there, the receipts
reaching close to $3.50. Mr.. Rolla
Ryan arrived in the city to-day and
expects to witness Mccullough at the
theater tonight in Macbeth" Mr..
Ryan's agent, Colonel Calvit Roberts,
went out the Charleston railway yes
terday afternoon to arrange for his
appearance at interior towns. Several
here who have witnessed Mr.. Ryan in
his eccentric illustrations, pronounce
him a highly amusing artist well
worth going to see. He will perform
here towards the close of next week
and half of the receipts are TO be
given for benevolent purposes.

This was the title OF a lecture de-
livered at the Lemoyne educational
