THE
AIiNTIAL ADDRESS BEFORE THE MGR SCHOOL
ALUMNI.
The tWellttr-third 'anniversary Of the:Mutnnt 4,1,-
leolation of the Central High SotiOol was held last
evening at Concert Hail. Mr. tittariee linckwalter
filled the chair, and prominent Needs of the public
liehOols were preeent. The introductory address
Was delivered by lleorge Alfred Townsend, of New
* York, aslollowe: • , ,
Sir. President, Alumni, Ladies and Genii :
The anniversary we celebrate this night find nil
find
Still broadly scattered; ;, The war goes un, and, be
tting to their Idgirlinpulies, many who sat beads
us in our college days are bearing up the hand. of
the flag—riding into the valley of death with Shbrl
den; ft/Hewing Sherman in his-marvellous marches,
sending to Weir alma ringer the cheering thunder of
Farraglit'S cannot', suffering bnuger and naked
ness In the shambles of their capture, or borne home
to lie Upon their shields.
While these do duty far away, we at home have
betties to fight as well. Peace bath its victories no
lees renowned than war, and so has war Its vioto
lieS of peace. While Washhgton kept the field
Franklin was loading the marl-hags and playing
his kite among the lightnings. It Is ours not alone
to sesta% the physical credit or the country,
Its agriculture,, manufactures, and commerce,
so that our returning heroes shall find new
Creations of which to be 'proud, but the pro
lotmder inteillgencee of the people are to- be
fostered. If these be neglected we shall for four
years of struggle attain only the rude civilization Of
arms and not the refined olvllizatron or art. .

Mr. Townsend then gave a brief rEsaini of a High
Ek11:1001 IMMO, denouncing ire dryness and Incapa
city to excite enthilliikAM ; he assailed its text-book
System preterrine the lecturing system, and said
that High School students warned for "an average"
—a certißoate—a diploma, and spent half their time
in negative reoltatiens.
From this strum@ he continued : -
Oh I how from this hard sokool-life we turn to
student-life—the trite student-life of Heidelberg and
Vienna, end Paris and Padua, where to - teaoh is re
kg,len, and to learn a passion ' • where, in tee hos
pitable college, there are libraries ever•opert, por
treite and 'antiquities ever illustrative; and where,
With that thirst for knowledge which is an unfolded
feeling,here, the poor add the rich gather from afar
to drink together at the venerable fountain—not
that they may gain strength for a lifarace ;alone,
but because 'the water itself is sweet. The pro
lessorwlectule and the pupils only listen. There Is
no compulsion; for who must be forced to accept
What all desire 1 A reverend, yet delightful atmos
phere Lilts the place and the student departing
makes it the-scene iif his sweetest romanowl, the
haunt of his Frankensteins and Faults, his epitome
of whatever in life Is pure, praiseworthy, and
beloved. ,
Snot .eolleges answer the true end of eduoitlon
—to ennoble men and make them intelligently
bitIPPY
How much our false theory of education (midrib
lltes to the public au private corruption of our
eons try is a fair Inquiry. Educated for a sordid end.
wo adopt the euggsstion too readily, and make our
Eves a aeries of over Teachings,
• • • • • •
It is our mission, Alumni, to imbue society and
Ourselves with more love for-the eleKant, the
[esthetic.. We should take oare of the beautiful,
for the useful will take care of itself. Of all cities
In the Union this is best adapted, by tradition and-
Circumetance, to become the Athens of the land.
There may be a doubt that we can hold the helm of
eommeree or be the centre of legislation, or the
capital of frivolity; but we can lead the schools,
the letters, and the arts of the continent. These
quiet and virtuous homes have the atmosphere of
Minims oontemphttion about them already. It
remains to make our High School more genial
Mid less juvenile, to reinspire our venerable uni
versity, to foster galleries, lyceums, and. Libraries,
to make Philadelphia the Dresden of art, the Delp
clo of literature, the Padua of schools. Those sur
vive when Ships have foundered, and forges have
Ceased to throb, and busy wheels are broken, and
cannon are dismounted. The halls of Ghent and
Burgas are desolate; the Boman aqueddote will
bold no water ; where are the needs of Venice 1
Crushed and inglorious, they reach up to us from
their graves, the only symbols which win for thqui
'Feet the relics of their arts and their parohrdfnts.
So, things of beauty, only, are joys forever?
Mr. /leery R. Edmunds followed in a capital ad
dress entitled, if anything, " A few of woman's
roleakes and man's delusions." replete with hits
at the social "isms " of the day, trom the mania
for ladies upon skates to the faeatiolem for atocks;and
Speoulation. This address was happily discursive,
and touched almost everything in the range of con
troversy, being eminently apropos both to the status
Of events and the temperament Of the people. It
War fttquently applauded. We have only room for
some of the more pointed paragraphs :
•• There Should be a time amid the violence, the
setareenese, and the suffering that surround us, mo
=wets when the heart escapes graving for the In
nocent and the lovely, when the soul makes for it
"elf even out of a flower a comfort and refuge.
"Very few are they who are realizing this truth,
but go on, gay, giddy, god thougutiess, and even in
God's own sanctuary forget themselves and their
Master. To them we would say, it is a great mis
take to believe that- the shortest and beet way to
heaven is to take the front pew in a very fashiona
ble church, where the young and very Rev. Mr.
Fitzpoodle discourses to select audiences, and have
superbly carpeted and cushioned.
" When we remember what some people do all the
week, we do not wonder that they forget they are
Christians until they hear the ohureh belle ringing,
having put on religion just as they do their best
seat—only to go to church in.
"There is nothing, of course, directly objectiona
ble In a pious young lady wearing a pretty bonnet,
but I don't think it follows that to be pine one
tenet wear a pretty bonnet.
"The devil dances to the music of the rustle or
year Mike and Isugbs hie satanic tenor to your shrill
soprano as you vainly endeavor to reach Heaven
through a gold be-clasped, gilt-edged, valiant• bound
praTeo book.
"But who Could find fault with you when the
kung and very Rev. Mr. Fitzpoodle himself for
gets his Master 'and ills commission, to make hie
pulpit a platform for political waggery, while he
airs a t antleome mottetacee and diamond ring, and
the choir execute one of Dr. Watts' hymns to the
latest operatic pleasantry."
* .0 • § * •

"There was a time when men thought that money
Could be made fast enough in legitimate mercantile
pursuits,
and that. bricks and mortar were safe In
weetuinte at Six per cent. ; but now if you intimate
that the last grand - olt bubble la not going to pay at
least ten per cent. per month, anti make every
etockbolder rieh beyond the dreams of avarice, you
are Instantly regarded as eminently entitled to a
Separate department in • Kirkbride's.'
• If some enterprising individual would lay a pas
senger railway from Third street to the Almshouse,
frith branch roads to the Lunatic Asylum - and
Cherry 11111, there does not seem to be a doabt bat
that he would make money. In about elz months
the travel over that road would be enormous.
"Virtue, honesty, and benevolence, what are
they I They look very pretty on a tombstone or
the poetical death column of the Ledger, but the
good time has silently faded away when they were
rewarded by the good little fairies who put meal
Into empty barrels and mended the children's
Clothes:"
Mr. Edmunds then continued: We are not sur
prised to find that some of our most intimate ac
quaintances are patriots, for, having nothing to
lteee, they are willing to sacrifice all that they have
for the public good. It is mournfel to mark with
what humility they bear the burthen of a contract,
and cheerfully sacrifice (like 81/0011111 Ward) their
wife's reations to the dangers of the battle-field, It
Is wonderful to see how they study the interests of
the Government,liprettyl much as thieves study a
house to take advantage of the weakest part of it.
X"atriotici souls to make bad clothing and furnish
decayed provisions for a.bleeding country's starved
and naked soldiers for only two prices I Verily,
they deserve their reward. Ihope they may get it.
He Said we are living a life of mistakes, dein-
Wens, and contradiettons. We wake In the morn of
ille to be petted, and coaxed, and stuffed with sweet
meats, and as we grow in years we are taught that
we must not fly kite or spin top with Johnny
Brown because his father works on the railroad and
wears coarse clothing. Most of the truth and ho
nesty of our nature is obliterated by the time we
reach manhood by those whose duty It Is to teaeh us
better, and even the good little children in the Sun
day school books all die early, while the bad ones
grow to be bad men and women. With a very natu
ral Instinct we much prefer living to be a little bad
than dylug Were we reach high hate and long
tailed coats.
Even nature is se much painted and embellished
and loaded down with costly trinkets that It Is a
real relief to get a good, fresh breath of air or see
the arm rise.
This anniversary was one of the cleverest that we
have had occasion to attend. Despite the sloppy
night the attendance was very great, and the entire
affair passed off intelligently and appreciatively.

Honors Power, popularly known as "Crazy
Nora," is no more. Site died on Wednesday last, at
the house of a Mend in the southeastern part of the
city, and her strangely-wild pilgrimage is at an end.
The following interesting amount of her life we oat
from the Bulletin of yesterday:
Norah's history Is as touching as her course
through life was turbulent and !entente. Her name
was Honors Power. She was the daughter of a
well-to-do farmer In Ireland. While yet but a young
girl both her parents died, and she made her home
at the house of an elder sister who was married.
Young Norsk had been left an annuity of fifty
patinas a year by her parents. Her brother-in-law,
with whom she had made her home, was a reckless,
wasteful fellow, and he not Only squandered the
portion of his wife but also that of her young sister.
Things finally became so desperate with them that
their goods were sold and the family was turned out
of doors. Norah was a proud spirited lass, and
while unwilling to become a dependent upon her
friends, and ashamed to fill a menial place among
those who bad known her in her prosperity, she de
termined to emigrate to this country. She came to
Philadelphia, and engaged herself as a servant girl
at a boarding school for young ladles, which was
located at the southwest corner of Third and Wal
nut streets.
The young Irish girl soon distinguished herself
by her sober industry, her strict integrity, her mor
bid antipathy for the male sex (of which she had
had such sad experience through her worthless
brother.in.law), and by her devoutness as a rigid
Catholic. The older of our readers will remember
the disgraceful scenes which took place in 1821, In
consequence of the differences between Priest Ho
gan, of St.. Mary's Church, and the Bishop of the
Diocese. These differences culminated in a riot at
the church between the partisans of the two clergy
men, and the aid of the police and of the marines,
from the Navy "Yard had to be invoked to quell the
disturbance. Norah had been the warm advoeate
or Father Hogan, and she was a witness to the dis
graceful scene at the church. She saw armed sol
diers take possession of the temple where she was
accustomed to worship; she saw men' infuriated by
their passions contending for the mastery on the
spot where her Ideal of purity and love was en
throned, and her reason gave way , beneath the
shock. -
The first open indication of insanity given by
Norab. was on the morning sneneeding tee Satur
day upon which the riot occurred. Early on the
Morning of Sunday the neighbors were aroused
from their slumbers by a furious rattling of stones
upon the roofs of the outbuildings of the boarding
school where Norab. lived. Upon Inquiring into the
Cause Of the racket it was discovered that the poor
girl had gone raving mad, that she was exorcising
some imaginary devil through the medium of peb.
hies, and invoking to her aid the whole calendar of
saints, mingling up with them, in the most incon
gruous manner, her own grandmother.
For forty-four years poor Norah has dealt In this
same staple of conversation. The same wild mix
ture of saints and fiends, of things temporal and
spiritual, of matters practical and uncouth, always
blended up strangely with her grandmother, has
distinguished the jargon of Norsk during all her
long, mournfu/ pilgrimage through the -fantastic
realm into which she entered upon that sad Satur
day evening in 1821.
Norah's dress was almost as wild and fantastic as
her temper; a man's bat, men's long boots, a curious
ly cut plaid cloak, fastened about the wais t a broad
leather girdle, was her usual costume. She . fre
quently carried about with her a bootjack, a grid
iron, or some other uncouth implement, wnich eke
would use in her invocations to her grandmother
and the salute, and her denunciations of the devil.
A paper box or a gingham bag, in which' she oar.
fled small matters of rubbish, which were given to
her, or which she would pick op in the streets, was
her Invariable companion. The writer of this ar
ticle, when a boy, has received many a marble, or
bit of ribbon, or a fragment of colored glass from
the receptacles named, as a reward for carefully fol
lowing Norah in the recital of the Lord's Prayer
and the Catholic Creed. -
Norah, though crazed, was by no means a fool or
lacking sagacity. Her mite, although "jangled out
of tune, and harsh," were not destroyed. She knew
how to , drive a sharp bargain, and while fulfilling
her own part of the contract to the very letter, she
exacted an equally strict compliance with the terms
upon the part of those whom she dealt with. On
one occasion, many years ago, North was employed
to do some work at the Friends' Old Almshouse. on
Walnut street, above Third. The bargain was, that
Norah was to have a room In the building while the
work was in progress. She secured the key or the
apartment, and held as to it after the job was com
pleted. The managers of the institution becoming
weary of their wild tenant, remonstrated with her,
but they were met with such a Volley of saints,
grandmothers, and devils, with apostles and mar
tyrs thrown in., that the staid followers of George
Fox were glad to beat a. retreat. Nora!" held on
to the roam for a long time; but she had
strict, though wild notions of justice, and she al
ways made It a point to render an equivalent for
her room-rent In the shape of labor. Oddly as it
may sound to many, Norah was a successful collec
tor of debts. It wil l of course, be understood that
it was only claims of the most deaperate character
that were entrusted to her care. But woe betide
the debtor who refused to pay a bill that Norah be
lieved to be just. A consignment to purgatory wail
among the mildest punishments which she de
nounced against the delinquent. She had a way,
too, of standing upon the sidewalk In front of the
place of business of the offender. and of setting
north to an ddmiting crowd the circumstances of
the case, mingling the whole with saints, devils,
and the inevitable grandmother. The money was
generally forthcoming after a few such visite, and
It was promptly paid over by North to her princi
pal, less her commission:
Of late years Norah has shown decided trues of
the approach of age ; her old, firm, and springing
step grew feeble '• her °hooka) became hollow and
her brow wrinkle d, and her black hair became
whitened. Even her eye lost much of its old, wild
fire, and her strange flights of language were
less frequent and more subdued. To the last she
wore her fantastic garb, and until wlihln a short
time she might be Been taking her place among the
worshippers at St. John's Church, on Thirteenth
street. Poor Norah Is dead, and she will long be
remembered with pity by those who knew her, and
talked or in the future as among the most conspicu
ous and best-known characters in Philadelphia
Owing nearly half a century.
FREDERICK DOUGLASS' LECTURE.
Frederick Douglass, the able advocate of human
rights, and eloquent representative of the colored
race, delivered tie third lecture of the course before
the Social, Civil, and statistioal Association of the
Colored People_of Pennsylvania, In Concert
on Thursday evening. The audience listened with
deep interest to Mr. Douglass for nearly two hours,
while be discussed the important issues now
presented to the American people in relation
to the rights of his race, and urged the duty and
importance of giving to them perfect "equality
before the law."
' The spanker took the position that this step was
necessary because, among other reasons, the nation
would need the aid and friendship of the colored
man when the rebellion shall be put down, but the
Spirit which prompted its leaders shall seek to op.
pose the Government in Its efforts to restore order
In the civil administration urns affairs In the South.
Mr. Douglass presented his arguments In his
usual able manner, and the audience appeared to
be deeply Impressed.
The next lecture, by Mrs. F. E. Watkins Harper,
will take place on the 27th Inst.

Mr. Brewster, for defendant, objected There wig no

copies of them, or that they were made prior to the con
tract made or work done by Mr. Gozeine. There was no
date on the papers, and there was nothing to chow that
the defendant knew anything of their existence. A
man is not to be charged ender a law which was never
published, and eepecially is he not to be charged with&
law that is not published until after the offence is com
mitted. The defendant le charged with haying goon
these descriottone. and, In deftest. of it . to have made

Juan to Ctine here to defend the defenetant, and he se•

of all the difficulty. It is as simple as an order for a
