The last collective audience of Ameri can bishoos with the Pope was held on Tuesday. The result of the conference will be kept secret until after the archbishops have held a council with their colleagues ot the American epis copate. Two councils are to be. held iu Baltimore.

Washington Slar: "A prophet is not without honor save in hi3 own coun try," the latest illustration being tho Ilev. John Jasper, whose fame in Europe is said, in a Richmond letter.' to be greater than any Southern man since the war. His memorable sermon was published iu Trench and discussed in the London clubs; and when Mr. Mat thew Arnold was in Richmond he ex pressed his particular desire to hear the celebrated divine. All of which fails to prove, however, that "desundo move." The Bartholdi statue is now entirely fiuished and will soon bo ready for shipment to New York but as long at there is no pedestal upon which to , place it nor money enough in band to pay, for the pedestal, there need bo no hurry about its transmission. Thus far only means enough have been raised to lay the foundation for the pedestal, and the iund is sttll nearly ' $200,000 short. The delay in providing for the reception of BartholdPs noble gift amounts to almost .a personal dis courtesy, but fortunately for the credit of the rich men of Gotham, -the good natured sculptor does not look at it in that light. Let tbesoThinjrs be Considered Thousands of men die every day who could be saved. Prejudice is mainly to blame for this loss of life. If it .were believed that the sum of disease may certainly be reduced by physic, much would be gained. And yet the proposi tion is very simple; it you take out daily more impurities than is daily generated, you will soon be rid of im purities. The effect of this wise prac tice is soon seen in Billious, Liver and Kidney troubles. But it is equally of yjhie in head and brain affections; in lleurisy, Pneumonia, Apoplexy and Paralysis. . In chronic and acute Rheumatism, and in all affections of the bowels," this principle soon relieves and cures, when t he medicine used is Brandretii's Pills.

Sweeping Reduction The storm signal was flying to-day. The receipts of cotton at this port to day foot. up 292 bales. After the noise, con fasion and -- bustle ot Christmas, the streets were dull and deserted to-day. , V This is horrible weather in which to climb out of ttie tangles of a little "too much Christmas. More money has been spent here f or Hire works this Christmas than has been tho case in many years. Sheriff Manning treated the prison ers in the County jail to a fine Christ mas dinner, which was duly enjoyed. mm i i II .1 . .1, Ml From this until after New Year's is a time when freight handlers on the different railroads have comparatively little to do. Messrs. Cronly & Morris will sell a lot of fine bananas at the Custom House wharf to-morrow morning. Capt. Savage gave the inmates of the County Poor House a good substantial Christmas dinner of poultry, pudding, pies &c which was heartily enjoyed. David Price, colored, was before the Mayor this morning charged with dis orderly conduct, but upon the payment ofafineof $3 he was released from custody. Railroad men report that Christmas was a remarkably quiet day all along their respective routes, and steamboat men make a similar report regarding the Cape Fear section. Christmas passed off with much less disturbance, occasioned by dmnken ness, than usual, although there was much more noise in fireworks than we have ever heard here b afore. Persons whose lands have been sold for taxes and bid off to the State have only four days more in which to redeem the same, as the law authorizing the redemption expires January I, 1884. In the hurry of winding up-work on Christmas Eve some few errors crept into our columns which were mostly unimportant, it is true, but yet unpleas ant to us, and one article was entirely overlooked. A good many of our citizens closed their Christmas pleasures yesterday by going put gunning, and as far as we can learn they all returned in due sea sou, without accident themselves, and with but little damage to the game. Somehow or other, game is always scarce during the holiday season. There was considerable thunder and lightning at an early hour this morning but it was a good distance to the North of us, and there was only a slight sprinkle of rain here, although it be gan to rain quite freely in about two hours afterwards, when wc were visited by more thunder and lightning. . Benevolence. The President of the Ladies' Benevo lent Association takes this method to acknowledge the receipt of the following donations on ChristmasEve : Mr. A. B. L., $32.70; Mr. D. L. G., $2; Mr. E. E. B., $5; Mr. F. W. K., 2 boxes tea; Mr. A. D. W.,'2 baskets of pack ages with groceries lor the use of .the needy. Thanks to them a'.l! I 1 -The components of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup are daily prescribed by the ablest physicians, whose success is due to the specific- influence of these components. Dr. Ball's Cough Syrup, skillfully pre pared for immediate use, is for sale by all druggists. The New Asent, Mr. H. G. Smallbones has been ap pointed Agent at this port for the N.Y. & Wilmington Steamship Line, to .fill tho vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. T. E. Bond. The selection of Mr. Smallbones is . an eminently wis one. He is an excellent business man and possesses, in a high degree, thev es. teem and confidence of the entire com? ni unity, which he has won for himself by his close application to business and the courtesy' and consideration which has been always manifest in his intercourse with others. He has been for thirteen years in the employ of the company., at the office here, and is thoroughly at home in all of the details ot the business, Alice Oates - In speaking of the Alice Oate's Troupe the Harrisburg, Pa., Patriot sayst The opera house was packed last night to see Alice Oates and her corns pany in the historical burlesque. 'The Field of the Cloth of Gold.' To say that the audience was pleased would not do the company just credit; in fact they were delighted. From the rise to the fall of the curtain there was que universal manifestation of approval. As a whole the performance was a de cided success. Played Oat. The appearance of tho "kooncrs" on our streets used to be a noted feature of the Christmas of long ago, and was hailed with delight by young and old. It has now degenerated, however, until on Tuesday it was composed of two colored men dressed in women's cloth ing, followed by a dozen boys and girls as they wandered through the streets. If this last display cannot be improved upon, we think the "kooners" had bet ter be reckoned as things ot the past, and should cease altogether in the fu ture. The German. The german at Germania Hall last Right was pronounced one of the very best ever given in Wilmington. There was a large party of ladies and gentlemen present to enjoy the occa sion, the dancing was elegant and there was nothing to mar the pleasures of the hour. Tho music, four pieces was obtained in Richmond; Va., and was superb. After the dancing had ceased the band serenaded a number of our citizens who willingly deprived them selves of sleep to listen to the delightful strains. For Charitable Purposes. The Sunday School of the Yirst Pres byterian Church will hold a Festival at the City Hall to-morrow night, at which a supper will be given to the children of the school and to their in vited .guests,' Nearly all the pupils will be dressed in the "Kate Green away" style, which will be a unique feature of the occasion . The ladies of the school will have for sale oystersi ice cream and coffee,, the proceeds ot which will be for the benefit of the poor of the Society. v The Last. The funeral of Mrs. Julia, wife of Mr.W.M.Havs.who diedjso suddenly on Monday, took place from his residonce on Seventh, between Mulbury and Walnut streets; at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Rev. Mr. Hull; of the Fifth Street M. E. Church, assisted by Rev. Dr. Pritchard, of the BTrst Baptist Church, officiated. There was a large assemblage of relatives and friends to pay the last sad tribute to the departed, and tho funeral ceremonies were very pathetic and impressive. The age of tho deceased was 50 years, - 6 months and 1 days. Christmas Christmas was observed this year in about the usual mauncr by our citizens. Business was generally suspended. Appropriate religious services were held in tho Roman Catholic, Episcopal and Lutheran churches, all of which were beautifully and profusely decorat ed. The weather was unfavorable for outdoor exercise, yet a good many ventured out to call upon rela tives and friends and pass the compli ments of the season.. The children were all remembered by good old "Santa Claus," and many of the older folk were the recipients of tokens 5f affec tionate remembrance. There was an unusual amount ' of noise from fire works, but aside from that there was very little disturbance to mar the festiyites of the day. Personal.

Klein, on Tenth, be tween Mulberry and Walnut streets, came out of the kitchen and started to enter the house, when a pistol was discharged, the ball of which struck her in the throat near the carotid ar tery. She ran into the house screaming that she was shot, when Mr. Hodges, who rents a room in the house, went out to see of he could ascertain who fired the pistol. A colored man Dy the name of Philpot, who lives riext door stated that he came out of his house with a pistol in his hand and acknowl edged that it was his pistol which did the shooting, but that it was discharged accidentally. Medical attendance was summoned to Mrs, Klein's relief, who pronounced the wound not dangerous, it being merely a slight .flesh wound. The ball has not yet been removed, al though it can be felt at any time as it lies just under the skin of her neck. Worthily Bestowed, , Mr. TJ M. Emerson, of this city, General Freight and Passenger Agent ot the Atlantic Coast Line, has also, we are pleased to learn, been appointed to the same position on the Georgetown & Lanes R.

Mr. Emer son will manage the freight and passen ger business on nine roads, located in Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina. At the Western Asylum, it is Dr. J. M. Hartsfield of whom we spoke in our last issue, instead of Mr. Hartsfield, which the type made forus by the substitution of. one letter. Dr. Hartsfield is the son of our esteem ed fellow-citizen, Mr. A. A. Hartsfield, and fills the responsible position of Assistant Surgeon at the Western In sane Asylum at Morgantou, " of which" Dr. P.
