the managers of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
and il will open its doors tomorrow at No 12S West
Fourteenth-st, with better combination Of at
tractive objects than has ever been hitherto pre-
sented in this city, Itisrather to be regretted that
the Exhibition could not have been free one, but
in the present state of the finances of the institution
this was impossible. All that coud be done to
place the advantages of the Exhibition within the
reach of all has been done in lowering the price of
admission to % cents and making Monday a free
day. The Cesnola collection is now in order, hav-
ing received the personal attention Of the General

Charles J. Biddle of Philadelphia died on Sunday
last and his death has apparently made as little
noise as his life. Yet his life unusually hon
orable and laboriOus one, and his death leaves
void greater than that made by men of larger pre-
tensions. He was only "a years of age but he had
won distinction upon several battle fields before he
had passed his boyhood, and had gained at his
maturity an honorable position at the bar of his
native city. He was an answering Democrat but
left his law Office and his strong political affiliations
TO lead a regiment in the field at the outbreak of
the Rebellion. While serving in this capacity he
was elected to the XXXYlIth Congress, and his
term there was spent in characteristic and quiet
work. never brilliant but always efficient. He was
too firmly welded to his political principles to seek
popularity by noisy loyalty, like many of his
former associates. But no man in Congress sought
more truly and sincerely to serve the best interests
of bis country. In his decease good man has gone
out of the world and a gentleman out Of politics.

If Madame Mundt had died year or two ago,
when her Louise Muhbach novels were enjoying
their singular popularity in the United States, her
death would have been regarded little less than
public calamity. But to-day the sale of her hstori-
cal romances appears to have run its course, and
there will be no general regret that the series is at
an end. The late novelist was fty-nine years old.
She was a lady of good education and estimable
qualities. The only capacity she possessed for a
literary life was industry and she certainly used her
one talent with extraordinary fidelity. 1t is said
that she was so much pleased with her popularity in
America that she contemplated a library of fiction
of which the heroes should be drawn from our
history 1t is hard to imagine what depths of dull
ness the characters of Washington and Lincoln
would have reached under the hands which took
away all life from Frederick and Napoleon. If any
such works have been left in Ms it is to be hoped
that they deal with the gentle reigns of Polk and
Johnson.

stance has attracted considerable attention to
the exhibition, which, we are glad to say,

the agricultural products and mechanical in

That portion of the Civil Service rules
which relates to examinations, published to-
day, has formidable appearance in It's intri-
cacy. But the rules are drawn, apparently,
with an earnest desire to get at the best men
for the service and in the shortest possible
time. The "shrieks of locality" have always
tried the patience of those who have the dis
posal of public Office; the new rules are in
tended to distribute the patronage equally
and facilitate the examination of candidates
from all parts Of the country.

NEW ORLEANS, THURSDAY, DECEMBER & 1873
The School Directors.

There was no business done last night by
the Board Of School Directors. The cause
was the unexplained and inexcusabie alb
sence of sufficient number of members to
| prevent quorum. This is not an infre
Guent occurrence. On many other impore
| ant nights those directors who believe in
dong their duty have waited till long past
the hour and then been forced to adjourn
| without accomplishing the object that
| brought them together. some members
| neglect to attend SO frequently that their
| occasional presence is matter of surprise.
They seem to have no conception of the tact
that shelr position entails on them obliga-
tons which the public have right to OK
pect them to fulfill bt is true they receive
| 40 compensation for their Iabors, but these
are not heavy. An occasional visit TO the
schools, the serving on two or three com
mittees, and their attendance on one regu-
lar and a few special monthly meetings, is
all that is demanded. Baving accepted the
trust they hold they should carry il out
faithfully or resign.
The regular monthly meeting lass hight
was specially important one. The appro-
priation for the poorly paid teachers vas
to be made. In consequence Of the absence
OF these derslict members, these ladies and
gentlemen are put of' for another week.
Some directors being out of town, of course,
could not attend, but more than quorum
could easily have been present. Out of
eighteen, only seven came. Other matters
OF Importance to education were to have
been acted upon. If two out of the seven
others who were in the city had attended.
all this business could have been transacted
in couple of hours
The meeting adjourned one week This
will give time to the absentees to make up
their minds whether they will make amends
for their neglect by attending that night, or
by sending in their designations early. to
afford an opportunity TO the State board to
fill their places with gentlemen whose edu-
cation and self-respect prevent them from
accepting an important and honorable po-
sition without intending to discharge its
duties.

and not by word of mouth. The helmsman
has large dial in front of him on which
he keeps his eyes fixed and by whose

communication with the officer on the

and statesman, besides the qualities Of a
gentleman of the old school. he makes a
host cf friends wherever he moves, and has
earned popularity among his constituency
that is rarely equaled and seldom excelled
By reason of his energetic ability he makes
powerful and determined opponent, withal
neither acrimonious or unjust, and on the
other hand constitutes faithful and i'll
valuable friend that any man may consider
himself fortunate In having
