To ihe President and Members of the Alumni

happily the intrigues of the enemies of this

In a large majority, in favor of popular educa

Whereas, The Board of School Controllers of
the City ot Philadelphia ha-o adopted a resolu
tion requesting the resignation ot the present
laculty of the Central Hteli School, and recom
mending measures lor the entire reorganization
ot tbe said body;
And whrreaa. We, the inembors of the Alumni
ot the Higo. School, foclina a deep interest in
the continued prosperity and advancement ot
our Alma Mater, bolievluar that its future use
fulness must be impaired, if not completely
destroyed, when political favor and influence
control its management or the appointment of
its Protrssors; and recognizing that now there
Is an opportunity upon the part of the Board of
Control to entirely set at rest the charge of
the, incompetency of certain Professors who
ocenpy positions in the said school; -
And whereas, It is furthermore our object to
give the institution a place foremost among the
colleges ot the country; therefore be it
Jiexolved, That we recommend, not only as
members ol the Alumni, but as citizens and tax
f aocrs, that there shall be a lull, tair, and tho
rough examination of each applicant (or a p'O
fessorship in the Central liifih School by a pro
perly organized scientific Board of Examination;
and that those only who pass tbe most perfect
examination be admitted to paid professorships.
Kesolvtd, That the Secretary of the Alumni
be instructed to send a copy of the lorcsoing
preamble and resolutions to The Board of School
Controllers of the city of Philadelphia.
Alter a discission, ihe report ot the Committee
was adopted.
TDK Fibkwokkb Last Evening. The
display ot rirewortts which was to take place on
the evening ot the Fourth of July, but had to be.
postponed m consequence of the rain, was made
last evening on Broad street, below Market
ttreet. A large number ol persons assembled
on Broad street and on neighboring thorough
fares, and while they hr.u ihe gratification of
witnessing a number of beantitul pieces, the
pleasure wan greatly Increased by the prompti
tude with which Protessor Jackson applied the
match.
There was no unnecessary delay, but the pieces
followed each other in rapid succession. The
exhibition opened with a brilliant display of
colored fires. hmid whic'. there was a lhght of
signal and honorary rockets, with golden stars,
serpents, etc. The tlrst piece was called the
"Reveille," and was a combination of colored
and concentric tires, following this was what
was styled "America's Star ol Triumph," and

revolving tires, maturing into a brilliant star,
decorated with the national colore.
Then followed the "Soldier's Glory," the "En
gagement," the "Liberty Tree," "Rose aud
Diamonds," " Bouquet," " Kevolving Star of
Washington." "Sun of Freedom," and the "Per
sian Rose," all veiy beautitul. The last piece
was the most brilliant of all. It was a national
figure, dedicated to the olhcrs and soldiers of
the Union armies of the war. Tn the right aud
lelt appeared monumental columns, supporting
the busts of Washington and Lincoln, draped
with the American flag the columns repre
senting rhe States bound together by laurel
wreaths, and bearing the words "Peace and
Union." Between the columns were seen the
different corps badges of all troops who served
in Pennsylvania regiments, surmounted by the
motto, in letters of silver tire, "Honor to whom
iouor is due our brave boys in blue." The
piece ended with flights ot stars, serpents, and
bomb rockets. It was very tine, and the people
testitied their approbation by cheers and other
manifestations ol pleasure.
A Prison foe those Guilty or Slight
Offenses. Under a resolution ot Councils, pro
viding for the appointment of a joint special
committee to inquire and report upon tile best
means lor disposing of persons committed to
vii ison lor small offenses, tbe following gentle
men have been selected by the Presidents of
Councils; Messrs. Billington, Oram, Willltts,
Fox, and Gill, of Common Council; and Messrs.
Smith, Barlow, Hododon, Marcus, and Kamerly,
ol Select Council. The Committee intend meet
ing in a short time, and it ie their intention to
invite tbe Prison Inspectors and Guardians of
the Poor to meet with them for the purpo.se ot
consulting upon the subject. There is no doubt
that something should be done to relieve Moya.
menniuff Prison from the large number of pri
soners sent there lor slight offenses, and who are
never tried, because the prosecutors fail to ap
pear. Several clays since, a poor widow woman,
with two children, one an infant, was charged
with assault. The Alderman committed the
' woman to piison in detault of bail, allowing her
to take Per infant with ner. but the other child,
only about three years of aee, was left in the
house to starve, unless the neighbors care for it,
The widow was still in prison on Tuesday. In
this case the offense was so slight that there is
no probability that the grand jury would find a
true bill.

The slaughter-house for unknown dogs is

streets. East river. The "Morgue" and the
death-pound for muzzleless caniues are contigu
ous, and thus, in the case of friendless, graveless
men, it is not violence to suppose that Pope's
statement of the Indian's vision ot huaven may
be realized, and that as the clay-cold body of the
human untoituiiatc is iced aiid preserved for
identification, the unmourned vitality of some
luckless caniue may take its flight near by the
unconscious corpse, veiy possibly of the ani

Since the 19th of June, 2350 earthly members
of the Sirius tribe have suffered oeath from
drinkingtoo much water during the hot weather,
and, as was tn" case with the scripture supper
Mr. Matthew describes, "the cry is, 'still they
come ." " Statistics show that dogs and children
multiply in reverse ratio to the paucity ol
pence which the thousands of poor in New
York possess. The greater the penury the more
numerous the puppies. Nature makes these
animals vagrants. Neglect unprovides them
with muzzles. Dog-brokeri then capture them,
while inexorable law puts them out of life by
hydraulic pressure.
A visit to the dog-pound
leads through a legion of small shops and
smaller boys aud piles ot garbage that Mr.
Shultz's nose has not abolished, up to a mere
shed of rough boards, divided half-wise by
breast-high partitions. Two M. Ps. and a clerk,
who signs the bills ot dog delivery that Marshal
Tappan cashes at the City Hall, preside, with a
superintendent, over the canine ooseciuies.
Seedy men, apparently "made by nature's jour
neymen, and not Lalt done," walk iu worm-fence

course, under a heavy weight of dogs that they
have put in baes and shouldered. The bags are
decidedly active. They kick and squirm aud

"there ain't no sort of nog as 1 ain't bred," would
own his ignorance among thexe victims. Only a
tew can be instanced. The first one was a huge
hound that gave evidence ol high feeding and
favor. His dignity and composure'' well contrasted
with ihe yelping pack of small dos that whined
for lrcedom and snarled at each other. The dogs
that "nobody owns," or would own, were there.
Tney were ihe inevitable stray dogs that eter
nally haunt corners, cellars, and back-alley
w ays. Their tails always caress thoir stomachs,
and curve never upward in conscious control
"Hang-dog" is lettered in every line of their
rat-trap phiz. They never bark in the "honest"
way that Byron thought it "sweet to hear."
They only half open their lantern jaws, glance
quickly, cowardly, either way askant, as if to
oodge'the oft-lcit boot, then stretchout their
snaky yellow necks, and whine in a low, mise
rable tone to which, asteaui-saw tiling through

nobler brethren feel for them.
A pretty King Charles spaniel, eau decologned
and red-flannelled, didn't seem to understand
his situation, and mourned lor my lady's lap,
and his dinner of boned fowl, sauced with
wine. He fraternized with a big butcher's dog
that had his ears cropped short, and his "tail
drove in behind." A noble Newfoundland got
along well with a large, dignified, sleepy-eyed
mastiti, while an Italian greyhound and two
agile, pipe-Btem-limbed terriers played pranks
with a large leopard-like spotted coach-dog.that,
however, appeared to be desirous of cultivating
the good opinion of a pretty little Bohemian.
A little boy came In to redeem "his Jack."
One was looking for a bull-dog "that knowed a
darned sight more than many a man, and a 'hul
grist of womin."
A gentleman came to recover a terrier that
had been his lately dead daughter's favorite
playmate, and "money couldn't buy it." A
fouuacious swell, ofgiuned odor, and naif-sport-
