SUMNER A1IUsEMEETs.-There are numer-
Gus summer amusements about town. Pass
ing down Royal street, sweet strains OF
music may be heard, accompanied some
times by pure and delicious voice One
source from whence these enchanted strains
arise is on the corner of Cont and Royal
streets, the building once known as the
State House, used then for the purposes Of
legislation. This structure had been tor
long time unoccupied, being too huge an
elephant for any one person to take hold Of
for business. As an auction house it proved
a failure. and then the halls where Dustin
guished and eloquent orators pleaded and
spoke Of the wrongs and oppressive laws
which the people were suffering under, was
turned into a theatre. 1t was leased to
theatrical manager, who at once had 1t
fitted up as a free resort Of the people, who
could there obtain aWusements which they
can not elsewhere afford. Every evening
there are performances, which amuse and
crafty the multitudes, and the establish
meut is patronized by respectable classes.

As an express train from Philadelphia
approached PhDnixville, COW was OBJ
served on the track, The whistle for down
brakes was given, but before tire train
could be checked the COW was elevated from
her position to the cOw-catcher, where,
strange to say, she stood on all tours, but
unable to retain her equilibrium, she rolled
down again upon the c0w-catcher, and was
thrown to Que side of the road, where she
lay until the passage of the train, when she
arose and walked off, apparently none the
worse for her first attempt at railroad tray
cling.

Some of the niceties Of Viennese eti-
quette are thus described: Again, no Off
Ger Of cavalry dare carry parcel in uni
form, no matter how small it may be, a
book or even a fan rolled up in paper,
though he may do so out Of uniform; neither
dareshe enter a one-hoFse cab, although he
may drive about in twO-hOrse vehicle to
his hearts content. An officer of infantry or
artillery, however, whether in or out Of uni
form, may Gerry what he pleases and drive
in whatever conveyance suits him best.
But, then, infantry officers are out of the
pale of fashionable society, while bold
dragons and gay hussars are its chief Orna-
ments.

days pay should not be allowed. Tie reso-
luton was tabled
The following communication from the
State Superintendent was read:
I beg leave to respectfully inform YOU
that the Auditor Of Public Accounts, after
having once agreed with me in regard TO
the support of the two schools set apart as
: model schools" has low determined that
he will draw no more warrants for their
support, unless tuition is exaeted of the
pupils. In my opinion, to exact tuition of
the pupils Of these schools would result in
breaking them up. These schools have
been greatly improved, their standard has
been raised. and every thing about them be-
tokens an early realization Of the purposes
ID view in setting them apart as model
schools, but the determination of the Audi
tor to cling to an iDpracticable require
ment of the law will force them back to
their former status under your jurisdiction.
! would suggest, under the circumstances,
that the board resume control over these
schools, placing their teachers on level
with all the others as to vacations, salaries,
etc.
Referred to the committee on high schools.
Mr.. Hahn said that he had learned that
Mr. r. II. Isabelle had obtained against the
board judgment for $1,000, as attorneys
fee etc, incurred in some previous suit
against the board. lie offered q resolution
that Mr.. Walsh, the attorney of the board,
be requested to apply for new trial. or
take an appeal in the case. This judg-
ment was news to him, and he would like
to End out what it all meant"
Charles J. Shoemaker and Thomas /. Ho
gan were elected as candidates for vacant
cadetships in the university at Baton Rouge.
A resolution was passed that the public
schools be reopened for the next session on
Monday, the sixteenth of September, 1872.
Mr.. Hahn then introduced the following
resolution:
ResolUed, That the State appointments
for June be discussed in the following or
der Balance on judgments against the
board, except the Isabelle judgment; pay
ment of the salaries of teachers and port
resses for One-half the month of September;
the balance for bills of text books, station
cry, school furniture, ETC., and the Admin
istratOr of Public Accounts be and is here
by directed to warrant on the treasurer of
the board for the sum Of $4,000 on the
above order. All resolutions heretofore
adopted and at present in force in conflict
with the above resolutions are hereby re-
pealed.
Adopted, after much discussion, with the
amendment that the payment of judgments
be made last in the order Of payment, and
the secretary and teachers first.
The board then went into executive ses-
sion.

DISAGREEMENT IN POLICE CIRCLES
Several weeks ago the Board of Police
Commissioners was informed that some
difficulty or disagreement existed between
officers in the harbor station. To remedy
the trouble Captain Edgeworth was sent to
the sixth precinct, and Sergeant Doak to
the third precinct. Shortly afterward Su-
perintendent Badger forwarded an applica-
ton to the board, recommending that Doak
be transferred back to the harbor. This
was given t0the committee onstations, and
the report was adverse to the Superinten-
dents Recommendation. The report was
unanimously adopted by the board, and so
the transfer was not made. A day or two
afterward Superintendent Badger made the
transfer on his own account Members of
the board learned of his action, and ordered
that Sergeant Doak be sent to the fifth pre-
cinct, aud Sergeant Kelly from the fifth to
the third, and the Superintendent was di-
rected to see that the order was obeYed.
lie responded by writing note to the
board, informing the members that It his
recommendation not adopted the eff
cheney Of his force would be impaired; also,
That unless his wishes in that case were
complied With, he would send in his resig-
nation. The board still adheres to its posi-
tion, and the subject will probably reach a
crisis tomorrow.
