FRI DAY. APRIL 27, 1883. "Young: Mrs. Wintlirop." Mr. F. C. Cramer, the popular, clever and good looking treasurer of the Madison Square Theatre Company, arrived here this morning from Charles ton. S. C, where the troupe appeared last night in "Young Mrs. Winthrop. ' The play will be presented at the Opera House to-night. He reports that the company have appeared to crowded houses at every place where they have stopped on this trip-in the South. This is as might be expected. ! They have ja company of good artists, with an ex cellent play, and these combined may be tolerably certain of good audiences in this section.' But - a play without merit presented by a party of "baru. stormers" in the name of actors,may as well make its will and write its obit nary 'before leaving New York. Its death is certain. . ' ! "Our Best Society." The audience at the Opera House last night was about the same in point of numbers as was present at the preced ing lecture. . The subject, "Our Best Society," was an ably prepared treatise upon one of the most important mat ters in our American life, aud was de livered with all the eloquent oratory of which Dr. Milburn is eminently the master. The lecture was full of wis dom, profound thought and wholesome advice, such as it would be profitable tostudy and heed. His consel to young men and young women was such that, if followed, would certainly lead to a better, truer, more useful, more honor-; able and holier life. He drew in vivid contrast I pictures of what- "Our Best Society" should be and the shallow nothingness and pretension with which much of our so-called good, society is afflicted. His auditors were profound in their attention ; willing captives to his wise teachings and his im pressive elo quence. His peroration was a sublime Christian appeal for the true, the beau tiful and good, such as we have seldom, if ever, heard. . i)rj Milburn is to remain in the city over Sunday, and will preach in the morning of that day at the FYont Street M.Ie. Church, and at the. First Baptist Church at night of the same day. The Passover. 1 TheJewisn testivai Known as the Feast of Passoycr, began jast Saturday evening, and is observedj during this week. It was instituted iby Moses to commemorate the protection of Israel from the touch ot the destroying angel, in that fearful night when the first-born of the Egyptians were slain, just before the exodus of the chosen people from the land of its captivityL Originally the festival , was observed by acrificing paschal lambs toward evenin on the fourteenth day of Nisan, the first spring Unonth of the Hebrew calendar, and eating thereof the following All the bread was baked wit ! evening. lout any leavening for eight days, the Jfirst and last of which were' observed' as holy days of obligation. Since the final destruction of tlie Temple at Jerusalem and the scattering of the Jewish people broadcast over the face of the earth, the sacrifice of the lamb has been omitted from the passover ceremonies, but the unleavened bread has held its own. j In orthodox Ilebrevy copgregations the two first and two last days are observed as holy days. . - . j I , The Freshet. We have often heard of the freshets in the Upper Cape Fear j River but never until yesterday bad we the slight est idea of the magnitude of a genuine "jfresh.'V Wre have traveled the rjver when there was "comfortable boating water" and have passed bluffs fully fifty feet above low water mark. Yesterday water was running two lor three feet deep over these bluffs and the steamer. Hurt ran over them frequently running around the roofs of houses' which were submerged. This was particularly the case at Willis1 Creek. The steamer ran around a house which was almost entirely submerged, only a small por tion of the roof bieng visible, and ran some fifty yards up in the public road leading up to the residence of Maj. T. D. lx)ve. It seems rather ridiculous to think that a steamer can bo run al most over the tops ofhouses and that care has to be used to keep from knock ing the tops ot chimneys down or car rying away the gable end j of a roof which, when the river is on its good be havior is at least thirty feet j above the top of the smoke-stack of a stealer. Robert Blonnt, colored, wa before the Mayor this morning charged with disorderly conduct, was , proved gniltj and sentenced to one day's imprison ment in the city prison Odd Fellows' Celebration. j The exercises at; Odd Fellows. Hall last night were of unusual interest t alii who were present. The address ojf the Rev. Mr. Peschau is spoken of as beirjg a very fine effort, instructive and interesting to the uninitiated as well as to die members of the order. There was some very fine singing under the direction of Mr. W. 1 J. Penny, and Miss Alice Dew, a young miss bf about 13 years of age, sang "Then you'll re member me," from Balfe's opera of the Bohemian Giri with J fine taste and effect, playing her own accompaniment on the organ. When' the ceremonial exercises were concluded, those present adjourned to Temperance Ilal), where a bountifu repast was in waiting for them, und to which they did ample justice. This being accomplished, the tables were quickly cleared and remov ed, and those who desired indulged in dancing, a pleasure which they kept up until sometime alter midnight. It was a very enjoyable and pleasant occasion, with nothing to mar the happiness of the hour. I The Land League: At a meeting of the j Wilmington Branch of the Irish National Land League, held last light, Capt John Barry in the chair, and Mr. James Corbett, Secretary, the following' reso lution (a copy of which was last night transmitted by telegraph to I the Irish Convention in Philadelphia, wasadopt- . it ed, viz: t Resolved, That we extend our heart felt sympathies to the convention of Irish societies now iii session in the city of Philadelphia, and . wish jthem God-speed in their efforts for the coun trymen in Ireland ; and trust that wise counsels may prevail with them, in or der that those who now live under a thraldom of tyranny may with con fidence look forward to the bright days of Liberty's, dawn. May the God ot tlie. exile and the wanderer jlrom Erin's1 shores (direct them in the path best calculated to ben efit our ill-starred Fatherland. We say to them that, though few in num- per, our nearts pulsate wnn tneirs m every aim for our common object, and we pledge to them our united, cordial and hearty support and sympathy. "The following resolution was also adopted : Resolved, That w!e extend to the Irishmen and their descendants through out the State, a cordial invitation to join with us in farthering the purposes of the Convention now assembled in Philadelphia, in order that we may give an organized support and sympathy to the efforts of those now engaged in aims beneficial iothe cause of Ireland's freedom. j . fW Pocket Knives or Table Cutlery, go to Jacobi's Hardware Depot, -f Sunset Cox's Visit. i ! 1 Hon. Wharton J. Green has received a letter from Hon, Si S. Cox which leaves ( the matter of his coming jto North Carolina in considerable doubt. He may be able to pay us a visit in May or he may not. The tone of his letter indicates a strong desire on his part to visit North Carolina which we hope he may be able to gratify at an early day. Col. Green has kindly per mitted us to publish au extract lrom the letter, relative to the proposed visit. Mr. Cox says: I'm bothered! I am not prepared just now (owing , to matters that cannot well be disregarded prif vate matters long neglected) to go to North Carolina. I believe, I put" in some conditions to my going, and am rather embarrassed at our good friend's rather elaborate preparations. I see he wants me to lecture terms, etc, etc. The only terms I have are the good will and benevolent lobject and these are an exceeding great reward for the little time it costs. ilM can jgo to North Carolina when I return to New York, as I must tomorrow,! I will try and give you time enough to 1 notify your friends, but I don't want to go around loo much. I have invitations to Raleigh, to the University of North Carolina, to Lynchburg &c &c, and if I start I won't know where to step. I am in bloody earnest about coming to see you and your town. Gen. Ransom told me aU about your i old i village and its Christian and honest folks.
