Tho audienco thoro Iaat night was tho largest sinco the opou- ing; still it was not too big acrowd for comfort, The character of tho andionce way ayen moro significont than its size, the largo numbor of carriages outuido showing that tho “Two Ot- phansa" had excited the sympathy of the peaplo on tno avenues. A harmless sort of a0 injunc- tion has been issucd against o feature of tha performance at tho Now Chicago by tho Rov. Arthur Ritchie, Rector of the Church of the Ascension. Ho has forbidden bis choir-boys, who appose in the church sceno in tho “Two Orphans,” to sing arain in church until they are through with their eungagemont at the theatre, Tho boys sang last night au though nothing bad happoned. Lhoy have doubtless taken their Rector at hie word.

Prof. H. A. Ward haa brought from his Natn- ral Science Eutablishment at Rochester, N. colloctions in the departmonts of mineralogy, goology, and zoolugy, the largest and choicest sorios which ho has over taken or sept out at any ono timo. It consists of threo or four distinct cabloots ar- ranged in glass casce, on sholves, against tho walla and on the floor, overan aren ot 40 by 70 fost. .Euch of theso cabinots, complote in ituelf, is laboled and arranged with the most syatom- atic care and ecioutitio accuracy. The cabinet of minerals is exceedingly choice, conta:ning many splendid snd showy groups and clusters of vatictios of spars from Eugland, Germany, and this country; calcites of many kinda and colors; **Orioutal — alabaster” Egypt; sulphur from Sicily, in splon- did crystals; rock-crystals, amotbyate, agatos, onyx, jasper, and other gems; oros of iron, copper, load, tin and zinc from Cornwall, Sax- ony, I'rance and elsowlicre, Asboxtos, amian- thers, flexible sandstone, from Brazil ; 6 boanti- ful twelvo-pound crystal of {coland spar, show- jog finely the phenomenon of double refraction; obsidinn, labradorite, and other species prized by minerologiats. ‘There is also a sorios of modols of famous diamonds, together with an ontirn nories of procious gems, and also a fac-similo of the ** Welcome Nugget,” the largest Jump of pure gold over found, moassuring 2 {cet in length, weighing 180 pounds Troy, and worth (the origi- nal) $41,800, Anotbor notable spacimen is one of metoorlo iron, which foll inTollooa, Mexico, one aide of which is polished and showe tho the .

Mr, Ward has copied these juat as thoy stood or lay, and bss brought the eutire series to our L.xpoxition—some 800 specimens. Amid such wealth it {s in vain to enamerate, nor will spaco allow. The collection is led by THE MEGATHERIUS, one of the most wonderful monstera which Na- turo ever fostioned. Highteon fect long, it stands toworing at one ond of the worles, reating upon its massive hind lees and tail, while ite foro limbs are cugaged in the branches of & tree which it is brosling off for its food.
