Taken as a whole, the company is, perhaps, the best troupe of travelling minstrels that has ever visited the city. Signor Abecco's harp solo was very fine, and he was compelled to respond to an encore. Smith, Waldron, Morton and Martin the original "Big Four" in their songs, dances, and sketches, delighted the audience. They surpass anything of the kind ever seen here before. ' : Billy Emerson is all that bis friends claim him to be. He has few equals as a character delineator. In short, it is a first-class company, and de serves the patronage of our people." Col.

'v.., ' ' , I - i ' Rarely have we seen so large an audi ence assembled in Wilmington as1 was at the Opera House last evening. The object to which the proceeds of the entertainment were to be devoted, as well as the reputa' tion of the director and several of those taking part, combined to draw an unusually large crowd, which -. was quite demon-! strative in 'its expressions of approval.5 - ; : . The absence from the city of several of Wilmington's most distinguished lady vocal ists was offset by the presence of Mrs. J. Wi Cameron, of Savannah, the fortunate pos. sessor of a charming mezzo-soprano voice, which completely captivated her auditors upon her first appearance. Under Prof.; Yah Laer's skilled and experienced direc tion it is needless . to say that everything passed off evenly and smoothly, reflecting great credit on all concerned in its under- taking and realizing a handsome sum to wards relieving the suffering in the cities infected with the plague. - o j ' The Concert was opened with a lively se lection by the Cornet Concert Club, which was given in a manner becoming its pre vious reputation, followed by the brilliant rendition ' of ' Mendelsohn's celebrated "Wedding March," by Misses LJ and J Atkinson , Empie and Hahr. The blending of the harmony in "Drifting With the Tide was perfect. Its rendition by Messrs. Brad ley. Myers (R. C), Welsh and Rankin so pleased the audience that they were com pelled to reappear. ' -' j The solos, the "Old Sexton," by Mr. Geo. Myers, and "Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep,! by Mr. M. fT Manning, were well rendered and heartily applauded by - the audience... Mr. Nathan Mayer's solo, "Good .Bye Sweetheart," drew forth well merited ' applause on. account of its pleasing rendi tion.. ' The duo "Radiense," by the Misses At kinson, was well received and skilfully performed. ; The comic solos of Messrs. Myers and Welsh were enthusiastically received, both eliciting prolonged applause and being compelled to respond to hearty encores. Mr. -Welsh has certainly a fine talent in the comic line, and richly deserved the demon stration he received. The quartette, consisting of Messrs. Robinson, Welsh, Tilley and Manning, sang, "Moonlight on the Lake" in perfect harmony,, well sustained throughout, en chanting the ' audience, with the delicious concord of sweet sounds. ' , . i Miss Hahr played her solo with her ac customed ease. She is a talented pianiste and great favorite with concert goers. , Mr. and Mrs. Jno. E. Lippitt are, and have been, always great favorites, and, we hope the warm reception given them last night will induce them to favor us oflecer Fn ' such entertainments. Certainly no pieces onthe programme were better, r-. ceived than the duets given by themj . j The last mention, but by no means the least, that we are permitted to make, is of the prima donna of thr evening, Mrs. J. W. Camerob, of Savannah. . Her voice is certainly remarkable, the whole register being perfectly equalized. She takes the highest .notes with perfect ' ease,'and her Binging. is absolutely grand. She puts her whole soul into the music, and sings with feeling and expression unsurpassable. , We cannot praise too highly her artistic and brilliant music.' ' We trust we may ere long again have an opportunity of hearing hen She will always be enthusiastically wel comed by a Wilmington audience.. : -: t ! .

Heinsberger. ; j Considering the numerous difficulties at tending the project, and - its successful carrying out, the result should be extreme ly gratifying to those originating .and di recting the affair. We feel assured a repe tition would be pleasing to the public. ; . The safest and most reliable remedy for the usual diseases of the baby is Dr. Bull's Baby Syrup. It contains nothing injurious.
