ODD FELLOWS' CELEBRATION-INSTALLATION OP OFFICERS IN MARION LOD?K.-Thc Odd Fel? lows' Hall, at the corner or Klu^ and Liberty streets, was graced last night by a goodly attend? ance ol outsiders, including many ladles, who were attracted by the announcement that the In? stallation services of Marion Lodge would be made public and the veil or secrecy raised from a portion or the Odd Fellows' mystic movements. The members were arrayed lu their usual ins?g? ala, the h gh officias occupying seats a: tin upi er end of the hall. The exercises were opened by an ode, followed by a prayer from the chaplain. The installation ode was then sung, and the officers elect severally Installed. After the installation ceremonies, an appropriate address was made by Grand Master T. Y. Simons, in wuich he dwelt npon the principles of the order and the obliga? tions that the new officers had assumed. Another ode was then sung and an address delivered to the Lodge by Past Grand A. G.

If Philip Massinger ls not, as som? critics in? sist, next in rank to Shakespeare, it is at least indis? putable that he is one of thc very oost of thc old English dramatists. He wants delicacy of humor, but he is vigorous and broad in his conception and j delineation of character. His representations of ! society abound lu traits of keen observation and independent thought, and his serious passages I have a lofty melancholy, both or imagery and feeling- as well as peculiar grace and melody of expression. His "Maid of Honor" is occasional? ly played, but "A Kew Way to Tay Old Debts" is thc one comedy of Masslnger's which holds Its place on the stage, and by which he is generally known. In this comedy "Slr Giles Ovtrrcach" is thc central figure, and thc exigencies of thc stage require that thc other characters shall be made wholly subordinate to the irascible knight. This has always been a favorite part wita the leading actors on the English stage, and they, and "Phillp Massinger, a stranger," lind in Mr. Warner a worthy companion and Ct representative. Mr. Warner last night was thoroughly at home. Warmiug to his work, and brushing away thc rust of disuse, he played with even more than his usual energy, while iii his impersonation tl: -re were the same evidences of study and thought? ful care which marked his "Shylock" and "Riche? lieu." lu thc last act his acting w|j[> startling In its intensity and force. And he was well sup? ported. Miss Eldridge (Margaret) entered thoroughly 41110 the spirit of her part, whose changing humors enabled her to display to advantage the versatility of her powers. "Justice Greedy" was given to Mr. Parker, one of thc main-stays or Hie company, who por? trayed with grotesque Torce the roiblcs or the gluttonous oflicial. Mr. Wood made a capital "Allworth," and Mr. O'Neil played Wellborn with a care and point which could not easily be ex? celled. Mr. Ryan threw into his impersonation of "Marrall" his own queer humor, anti no more need bc desired. Taken altogether, thc perform ance or "A New Way to Pay Old Debts" was thc most satisfactory or the week, and thc audience showed their appreciation by loud applause, and by calling Mr. Warner and Miss Eldridge before thc curtain. As Mr. Warner came belorc thc root-light i the applause grew louder still. When it had subsid? ed, he said that lt was hardly lair to call upon him arter such a play to make a speech, Tor be was very much in the case or old Mother Hub? bard, who "found her cupboard bare," for voice, he certainly had none. In a few graceful words he returned his ,.:anks for thc generous manner in which the Charleston public hail greeted his first appearance among them, and, in con? clusion, said that he was a Cosmopolitan, and might, in two years time, bc an American him? self. - JRichard III. (^S* To-nlght Mr, Warner will appear as the "Crook back," in Shakespeare's tragedy or Richard III. This part has become highly celebrated In Eng? land rrom its having been fitted by excellent per rormers, and this has led to a well-rounded ad? miration or thc piece itself. The character or "Richard" 13 clearly drawn in the last parts or "Henry the Sixth," which contains two or his most significant soliloquies. Of him, Schlegel says: "Richard, as well as Iago, ls a villain with lull consciousness." His dclormity ls thc ex? pression of his Internal malice, and, perhaps, in part, thc effect or lt. He considers it as an In? iquitous neglect or nature, which justifies him in taking his revenge on that human society Hom which lt ls the means or excluding him. Hence these lines: And this word love, which graybeards call di? vine. Be resident in men like one another. And not in me. I am my sei r alone. Although "Richard" ls thoroughly acquainted with the blackness or his mind and his hellish mis? sion, he attempts to justify himself by a sophism : the happiness of being loved Ls dented to him; what, then, remains to him but thc happiness or ruling? His ravorite amusement ls to ridicule others, and he possesses an eminent satirical wit. He ban a contempt ror all mankind, and is confident of his ability to deceive them. In hy? pocrisy he is fond of using religious forms, as ir actuated by a desire or profaning tn the 6ervlce rf hell the religion whose blessings be had in? wardly abjured. These arc the main reatures or "Richard's" character-or him who lives a mur? derer, perjurer, tyrant, and dies the death or a hero. The accomplished tragedian who distin? guished himself In the "Merchant of Venice," and In Hamlet," will win new laurels in "Richard ihe Third.? On Monday night "Othello" will be played, and we understand that Mr. Warner, during his re? engagement, will be supported by some new ar? rivals as well as by the present company.

OCU horticulture, Agriculture, Ut. QORGHUM SUGAR AND SYRUPS. As thc period is rapidly approaching when Planters in our low country must decide npon what crop they will cultivate thc coming season, and notwithstanding the continued disaster to cotton crops from the caterpillar, many are still inclined to continue thc cultivation of cotton some even thc sea island-while others arc deter? mined to substitute short cotton, honing from thc earlier maturing of the latter crop that they may escape destruction from thc caterpillar. Should thc coming season, in Its earlier period, prove as unfavorable for the development of the caterpil? lar as the past, their hope of success maybe re? alized; but it may prove that the coming season may, In Its earlier period, be wet, and very favor? able to the propagation of the caterpillar, so that their ravages may be just so mnch earlier os to destroy the advantages obtained the past season, for the difference of time In maturing of the two crops. At any rate, there ls no doubt that the cultivation of either long or short cotton on the seaboard is attended with great risk. With these views, may lt not be well for Planters to look into some of the facts and claims of SORGHUM as a crop? This crop can be planted early in March, and requires probably thc smallest amount of la? bor to mature lt of any crop known, much less than corn, and being so hardy a plant, that lt can endure without material injury both drought and wet. If planted in March it will be ready for cut? ting and working into Sugar and Syrup in July, and thus in the middle of thc year will enable ulm to get a return for his labor. This is a matter of great consideration, especially when Sorghum is cultivated in connection with other crops, as it would furnish him with means to work up his later-maturing crops. From thc disturbed politi? cal condition of Cuba, and the injury and destruc? tion of the sugar crops as a result, there ls no doubt that our supply of sugar aud molasses from that source will be very much curtailed. Should this be so, the price of these articles must greatly advance. As to thc yield per acre, this will depend upon the quality of lands. Land capable of producing without manure ten to twelve bushels of Corn per acre, will give from twenty-five to eighty gallons per acre of Refining Syrup, and if desired, yield? ing from Ave to six pounds of Sugar, with a resi? due of Syrup per gallon. That capable of pro? ducing twenty to thirty bushels of Corn, will yield one hundred and thirty-five to one hundred and fifty gallons of syrup. The use of sulphate of lime, gypsum, as a manure, at thc rate of two hundred and fifty pounds per acre, from experi? ence, will almost double the product, giving at thc same time a yield of from twenty to forty bushels of Seed and a large quantity of excellent Fodder-the Seed as a grain being almost equal in value to Corn as a feed for Horses, Cattle, Ac. and when ground up as Flour, Bupcrlor to Buck? wheat. Any further information on this subject can be obtained by applying to Mr. JAMES G. CART, who has been appointed our Agent, and will be pre? pared to furnish the pure Iniphee Seed and ma? chinery. PASSMORE A WILHELM. jana rp HE WATT PLOUGH TRIUMPHANT! This PLOUGn ls now the leading Plough of the Middle and Cotton States. Among thc hundreds of testimonials we have from practical Planters and Farmers, we would call attention to thc following extract from a let? ter received from Colonel li. G. LOCKETT, of the large planting firm of Jordan A Lockett, dated Albany, Ga., November 27, 186*? "Before closing this letter, I cannot refrain from expressing my sincere thanks to you for the in? vention of thc BEST PLOUGH NOW Iii USE. It ls the delight of thc negro. Besides doing the best work that I have ever seen any Plough do, lt runs with more ease to thc ploughman, and the draft to thc animal ls lighter than any Plough l have ever used. "Your Plough has already become a necessity to mc, and I would feel ruined without lt. I am satisfied we have saved, annnually, thousands of dollars In mules alone. It Is the Cheapest Plongh I have ever used, of any kind or description, and I am anxlons to bring, If I can, to the notice of my fcllow-plantcrs, this most valuable Plough." Colonel Lockett commenced using these Ploughs in the spring of 1868, and now has more than two hundred and fifty (260) of them on his plantations. Wc have testimonials as emphatic from leading planters in North Carolina, South Carolina, Geor? gia, Alabama and Texas, bot this will sufilce for thc most Incredulous. ll During thc present fall, this Plough has taken Premiums at Eight Fairs held in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Alabama, and re? ceived thc Highest Ratings at the Great Field Trial In Pennsylvania, In August last, when more than Fifty Dur?rent Ploughs were tested.
