For the Rsvlew: North Carolina .Baptist Con vention. This body met at Edenton, an ex treme eastern point of the State, and yet it was well attended. This Albemarle region was the first part of the State settled by tho English and down here the first Baptist church ever organized in the State was established in 1727. The convention as usual elected a lay man as president, the Hon. J. C. Scar borough being chosen for that office. The Rev. A- G. McManaway of Louis burg preached the opening sermon. A sunrise prayer meeting was well at tended every day ; a session legan at 10 A. M. and closed at 2, P. M., then was preaching in the Baptist and Methodist churches at 3:30 P. M. and another session of the body at night. We were favored with the presence ot a number of distinguished visitors, who addid much to ihe interest ot the occasion. From Virginia were Dr. G. L. Bernous. T. G. Jones. Reuben Jones, and A. E. Dickson. Dr. C. C. Betting was with us to represent the Bethe work of the Baptist Publication Society ot Philadelphia, and Dr. G A. Nunnally to advocate the cause of the church Building Department of the Southern Baptist Convention. Dr. J.B. Taylor the former pastor at Wilmington, but just returned from Europe, was also here. The reports of the different boards were encouraging in a high degree.

If now. to this amount we add the $17,000 to bs given in Cash to Wake Forest College and already nearly real ized. we find that the Baptists of North Carolina have given during the year not counting what has been contributed at this session of the Conveution, $106. 10140. The Sunday School Board reports 54 new schools organized and much good done by the supply store, in aiding fee ble schools and furnishing at low rates needed Sunday school literature. A word now as to how the work of the Convention is done. ' The main spring of the whole ma chinery is John E. Ray, a laymai, and a teacher in the Deaf and Dumb Asy lum of the State He is the Secretary of the State Mission and Sunday School Boards and receives a salary of $300. Prof. C.E Taylor has conducted the finances of the Educational Board and receives a small percentage in collec tions. He has also had charge lot the endowment work. The Foreign Mission work has been managed by Rev. O. F. Gregory of Charlotte and the Home Mission work, by the Rev. A. G. McMananay, both ot whom are Vice-Presidents of- the Board3 ot the Southern Baptist Conven tion. , ' I cannot tell the number of commu nicants added to the chut c e during the year, but should judge from1 the uu ni cer of new chnrches organized, 35, and the many and powerful revivals' report ed that the counts would aggregate eight UI ICU LllUUSO-ilU. ( j Rev. G. A. Nunnally made an elegant plea for the Church Building Depart ment of the Southern Baptist Conven tion and raised about $900 in cash , and pledges and Dr. C. C. Bit t:ng spoke with great power in behalf of the Bible Work of the Baptist Publication Socie ty of Philadelphia, which w'as cordially endorsed by the convention. "But your readers must remember that I am reporting pnly the proceed ings of one Baptist Convention in North Carolina. Beyond the Blue Ridge there is another body, represent ing some 20,000 Baptists, which is known as the Western Convention.- A very interesting feature ot the ses sion was the large number of excellent sermons delivered; almost every one of which was deeply spiritual in tone. The next session will be held in Ral eigh. I omitted to state that Rev. J. W.McManaway,late pastor atMidway, Ky . was with us and entered upon his field of labor at-Tarboro and Wilson.'

A letter received boia to-day from Mr. Taylor conveys this information, and also states that the new appoint ment will be accepted by him. In Paradise.' The Indianapolis Sentinel. in speak above ing ot" the presentation of the named play in that city, says: Mr. Raymond presented his new play "In Paradise." last night, to a largely increased attendance over either of the preceding performances. Mr. Raymond appears as a Virginian one of the F. F. V.'s , who . becomes editor ot the Eagle Scream, at Paradise. Idaho, and afterwards a member of the legal firm ot Duxon & Belter. Chicago, and the characterization is-full of humor, native wit and quaint Raymondisms. He creates great amusement in the part, and last night, principally through his efforts, the audience were kept in a continued state of laughter. Sudden Death. Capt. Thomas Beck, long known as a merchant doing business on the corner of Red Cross and Sixth streets, died very suddenly last night. He was about his business as usual until after 9 o'clock last night and at 11 :45 he' was dead. Heart disease is supposed to be the cause of his death. He was a nativp of Newtoundland and was 59 years o age. 1 Capt. Beck first came to this city in 1864 in the capacity of wheelman on board one of tho line of steamers then plying between Wilmington and Char, leston, S. C. having shipped at the latter city with Capt. H. T. Lerumer man. who then commanded one ofthe steameis of that line. He remained under Capt. Lerumerman's command and was promoted through the several intermediate grades until he became chief mate and pilot. During the war he was mate of the steamer Waccamawt Capt. B. G. Bates, which was employed as a terry boat across the (Jape Fear by tho Wilmington & Weldon and Vilraington & Manchester (now Wil mington, Columbia & Augusta) Rail Roads. Alter the war the deceased engaged in mercantile pursuits, in which he continued until death. He died possessed of quite a large property, all of which wa3 acquired by honest and patient industry, frugality and ecomony. He leaves two brothers, one of whom resides in Canada and the other in Baltimore, Md. The, latter is largely interested in steamboat naviga tion, and is expected to arrive here to night. The Christmas Number. Harper's Magazine for December the Christmas number is one of the most superb issues that we .have ever yet encountered. It is profusely illustrated arid the illustrations are not oniy profuse, but they are handsome as well, some of them being real gems. The reading matter is plentiful and pleasant.. Mr. Whittier contributes what is really a Christmas poem, 'The Supper of St. Gregory." Gravely and tenderly it celebrates the Lord of the Feast: 'Unheard because our ears are dull ; Unseen because our eyes are dim, He walks on earth, the Wonderful. And all good deeds are done to Him.' Mr. Ho wells has written another little parlor comedy about' The Register this time, which is . a contrivance ex cecdingly susceptible of humorous treatment and this, too, appears in this notable Harper. Charles Reade is another contributor, his short story bearing tho title of "There's Many a Slip 'twixt the Cup and the Lip." Mr. Edward Everett Hale returns to Col. Frederick 'Ingham and causes that troubled gentleman to find bis famous Double" at the North Pole. Mr. Abbey has delicately illustrated for the number in series of twelve draw. ingsPopo poemxf Thc Quiet Lite. Mr. George II.

The almanac promised frequent showers for yesterday and today, and if we mistake not, there was a whisper of the same sort in the weather indica tions, but alas ! for the showers. There was a slight sprinkle last night, scarcely a cupfull. so to speak, and that is about all we have had in nearly two months. The fellow who, by mistake, sent his auburn-haired sweetheart instead .of a bottle of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup a bot tle of hairdye, wants to know the best way to commit suicide. Robert Middleton, an old colored man, well known in the Eastern section oftnecity, died suddenly last night, He was nearly or quite 80 years old and was much respected as a peaceable and hones", colored, man. 1 An Ineffectual Attempt An unsuccessful attempt was made last night to. rob the store of Mr. L. J. Otterbourg, on Front street. . The thief tried to effect an entrance through a window opening on the alley running from Front to Water streets. A board had been placed against the window and the inside blinds bear marks of a jimmy or some instrument which was used to pry it open. It is su-pnosed the thief was frightened off by some one passing. Theodore Thomas. If the music-loving portion of our readers expect to see Theodore Thomas with his forty soloists in Wilmington they should bestir themselves at once. The troupe are to oppear in Norfolk on Tuesday next and if they come to Wil mington it will be on the 6th of Decem ber, two weeks from next Friday. It is asserted, however, that they will not come without a gnsranteeof $500 . and of this amount between $350 and $400 seems to be already assured. - It seems to us that there 13 no doubt ot a house that will realize the amount rcauired. as 250 people at $2 each will give that gjm, hut then the guarantee is required and without that the agent says they will not -orae here. Let those who will attend the entertainment, should it .It.. . appear here, at once enrol! their 'names for tickets or on the guarantee lut and the thing can be accom pushed. .

Not o Dull as it Micrlit Be. jj A gentleman who is how in this city , and who has recently traveled a great deal to the South ot uaj says he sees in this city more life and signs of business than in any place he has stopped at. i He further states it as his opinion that there are more signs of ilife and business on Water street to-day than there was on Bay street, in Savannah, a few; days ago. It would be well for some of our croakers to put this in their pipes and smoke it. It is true, business i3 not ss brisk here as it should be, but at the same time it is much better than in The Wilmiujrton Uffht Iufan- try There are now 10 applications on file for membership in the - Wilmington Light Infantry, whic h will be acted upon at the next meeting or the com ...

There is an abundance of excellent material among our young men to bring the company up to the desired standard iu numbers 'and 1 efii ciency. ' and we hoe" vharnrilitary spirit and local pride in the Light Infantry wilhmduce our young men to aid in swelling its ranks. The Tramps. ' His Honor Mayor Hall, has taken a judicious and, we trust, effectual meth od of ridding our citizens of the tramp nuisance, which is beginning to be somewhat serious. He gives all such persons 24 hours in which to seek hon orable employriient but, (failinglin that, they, are required to leave the city forth with. This is treating these wander ing nomads with as much kindness and leniency as they deserve and more than they have any right to ( expect. There is no good reason why thcye should be one of these vagabonds tramping about the country obtaining a livelihood upon what tbey can bes or steal. There are abundant opportunities where a' man can obtaia a living providing he, is will ing to work tor what he cats and wears.
