AN INSTITUTION OF LEARNING FOR BOYS.
This Academy, during the brief period
of its existence has attained popularity
surpassed by few In the country Last
year, the first Of its existence, the Prlnci-
pal, Prof. s. W. Murphy, had quite a
large number OF scholars, and the parents
We're perfectly satisfied vita the advance
ment they made, and the go I'd government
and the interest he took In the welfare of
his pupils. On September I'd, ensuing, he
will again open the Institution, himself
teaching classics, natural sciences and
history; Mr.. Alex. c. Harris, mathemat-
les. English and bookkeeping; Jules
Macheret, A. NJ. Professor of French
Mr.. Henry l.. Schoenherr, Professor of Ger
man; and competent instructors in the
English branches, drawing and vocal
music. The system of discipline Is mild,
yet firm, and the institution throughout is
designed to be a tlrst-class school. The
Principal has, for more than twelve years.
given his mind and heart to the interests
of education, and we have no doubt he
will secure the confidence of those whose
sons may he entrusted to bis care.
The PRINCIPAL has successfully conduct
ed schools In Pennsylvania, and for some
time taught In the we'll known Academy

Nominations for Members Of CITY Council,

The first nominating election since the
meeting at the Board of Trade Rooms was
held BY the sixth Ward Republicans last
evening, and, just as we anticipated, the
recommendation of that meeting was not
needed, aud this was one Of the cases
where il was Just as well to disregard It,
Mr.. Sparks, recommended by the meeting,
is an excellent man, but Mr.. Foulk, re-
nominated last evening, has been a very
faithful representative Of his constituents I;
has been industrious and especially keen
to watch and attend to all legislation
affecting his ward. Voters like that sort
of representatives, and they have habit
OF nominating them-a wise habit we
think.
The recommendation of the meeting
will he again disregafded al the Republic
can nominating meeting In the Fifth
Ward on Thursday evening. The gentle
man re- commended by those gathered at
the Board of Trade Rooms, Mr.. Vim. NJ.
Candy, Is most excellent man and would
| probably make a good councilman, but
| that ward Is one which knows and re-
wards faithful service, and Mr.. Lichten-
stein. whose term expires, has been one of
the best representatives II or any other
ward ever had in Council, and has not
only served his ward, but the whole city,
faithfully. He has won the respect of his
fellow couneslWea and the public as one
of the most eltcienb, upright and fair
minded members in the wlibie BODY. and
that his constituents will throw over such
y man and take up any other Is not a. al
