Louise Pomeroy as Kcsalmd can have but few equals, and scarcely a superior, on the sure. h.ie in the character proper she is fine, it it while she is mas nueradicg ia tbe forest of Ardennes, in tbe character cf Ganymede, that her his triooic ability is brought out in its fullest relief. Tbe scene with Orlando in the forest it a perfect chef d'oeuvre of excel lent acting, only 'rivaled by that other scene where the brother of (Orlando comes upon tbe scene. Her acting is ex quitite. Mr. W. U. Leake, ua Jaques, u grand. With a manificeut voice, a perfect articulation, an absolutely cor rect reading, and an admirable concept tion of the character, Mr. Leake has made himself Jaques, as Miss Pomeroy URjealind. TbeJOrUndo of the p'ay, Air. Robert, ia alsu excellent, and Miss Spencer, as Celia, . sJso deserves9 great praise. Is short, tbe entire support is far above tbe average, and all are entitled to much credit. Da The ProtetUnt Sisterhood In Wll ralnston-A Candidate Admlited to the Order, There wu an interestiLg service atSt. James Church yesterday the more" in terestiog, perhaps, beeauae novel the ad mission of a lady into the Protestant Sis terhood of the Good bhepberd. The great efficiency of tbia sort of agency it the Roman Catholic Communion has long boen e?iJent even to Protestant', who. while opposed to the religious system of Roman Catholics in other respects have been wont to make a large amount of ex ception in favor of this part of it. It has been said that the sincerest form of praise is imitation. Of late years various Pro- tastant bodies have given this testimony to the value of tho Rpman Catholic Sis- ter hoods. Not only in Episcopal Eog land, but in Lutheran Garmany, and else where, there have been, for new many years, organizations of a like sort and as has been thought greatly to the advantage of those who have adopted them. They have argued. 'If others have an army, tia is no reason why we should not have one too, but.1 on the contrarv. all the more reason wny we should nave one. u in l 1 mm V their army a certain arm of tbe service a peculiar organization haslbeen found ejpecially efiective, why should we not hive for ourselves a similar advantage? And besides, this idea of associated work by bodies, separated for the purpose, "is a pari ot our common heritage.' And so tne I SlKfrhrwu? nrinalnla das omo fn vrafU - ..-w..w u w w od upon the work of the Protestant Church in this country, as well as in u , c yolj unfamiliar maj 5, to Ufj u haa f or year8 besa as it well known in other Dioceses of the Episcopal Church in the United States; in the South w n norm. . But the event of yesterday was the first of the kind just here. The services,con ducted by the venerable head of the Diocese, Bishop Atkinson, was in itself . . . . - ""'lwo"i,w "uv upon, and listened to, with a deep iater est by the congregation. I After a very interesting sermon by the Bishop, settine forth the history of Sis- terhoods, and the principles upon which w ef tnose among ITotestanU have been con ducted, the -candidate, who had pre- Tiousiy Deen requirea to pass tnrougn a pronation oi eignteen montns, was pre- I sented to the B'hop; seated in his chair withi tfa chancei by the Presiding gilter of tho Qrd who htd frQm SW York fof the parpoje Ia tbisser- yjco the manual of the Sisterhood of the Q , SheDherd WM by the aa;hor.

Many of those wbe ! heard it, and many who did not, would be glad to have the opportunity to read it. It wculd be a mistake to infer from what we have said that this is the begin ning of Protestant Sisterhood work in Wilmington. For two years such or . . . ... efficiently, and most acceptably to those I v v c. . a a I for wh se benefit it is chiefly intended ia connection with the mission work ofl St. James Parish, having its headauar- I ters at St. James' Home on Orange street, - ... , , . Irom this centre, an organized work of great value has been carried on for same years, among the poor and the sufif ering. A tree scaool lor wnites, at pres ent numbering about CO children, has been maintained there, latterly under the charge of the Sistercood of the Good Shepherd. Regular family and neigh borhood gatherings for instruction and devotion have been kept up. In son?. cases, the destitute tick .have been takei into the bouse and nurse 1. Psntinent women have found there a respite from temptation, and a quiet home, where they cculd collect theosevjes, and make a fresh start for virtue and happiness. The Restitute, aged and orphan have from time to time found an asylum. In many ways, much baa been accom- phiahed. Why not, good people, give this institution a helping hand? It has done large good already, and, if, R sv you will enable it, can do nruch more. B. sides all that has been urged in its favor, let this be added, viz: thit by the principles it is seeking to instill it is an important contributor to the peace and good order of society. The well-known proverb might be enlarged and it might be well to remember that not curses only but blessiugs also 'like cbckens come home to roost."
