The Happy Family of the Centennial Celebration. THE PARROT AND THE MONKEY. The Latest Charge Against the Board of Finance. Praperrata, June 27, 1876, One of tho pleasantest exhivitions which the Hon, Mr. P. T. Barnum provided for the entertainment of the public, was undoubtedly the Happy Family, and many of your readers will recall it with wonder and delight. In the large cage which adorned his many Museums, each of which was finer than any of the otbers, Mr. Barnum had assembled animals of the most different tastes and inclinations, There we could see the monkeys with a taste for dogs, dogs with a taste for cats, cats witha taste for par- Tots, parrots with a taste for rabbits, rabbits with an inclination to run away from everything, doves which cooed on the necks of porcu- | pines whicn bristled with universal hatred, lions which laid down with lambs, and anacondas whose natural appetites for white mice were controlled by a sense of morality, and profound respect for Mr, Barnum. It wascharming to see all these ani- mals, so opposite in their natures, dwelling together in peace, united only by a common respect for the proprietor, The combination was like that of charcoal, saltpetre and sulphur, ‘The elements of gunpowder are harmoniously united, and nothing but ®& spark of fire could divorce them in smoke and flame. But this happy family of which I speak, like all happy tamihes, had its spats, Sometimes the old Adam of tho original protoplasm trom which they were descended would get the upper hand, and dreadful conflicts would ensue, Some unre. generated baboon would pull the tail of a dog, the dog would go fcr a cat, tne cat would revenge itself on a parrot, and the parrot would scream out, “0, Polly put the kettle on, and we'll all have tea,” which was the signal for a general Schutzenfest. Tho quills upon the fretful porcupine would expand porten- tously, the crocodile would open his prodigious jaws in proximity dangerous to tho adjacent rabbits, and the wise and virtuous anaconda would, in sheer absence of mind, bolt a few white mice, like Betsy Prig when In pure unconsciousness she holped herself to a double portion of gin trom Saircy Gamp’s teapot, Un- happy Happy Family! Squeais, groans, grunts, hiss- ings, barkings and all kinds of howling replace the original tranquillity, ‘Then came Mr, Barnum with the moral suasion of a big pole and soon order once more reigned in Warsaw, ‘There isa picture now to be seen in the shop windews, of amonkey on a bed, bald headed and dixpidated generally, and a plucked parrot under the bed, which truthfully represents the kind of order whiob prevatled, THE MONKEY AND THE PARR There isa happy family at the Centennial Exhibi- tion which bears some taint resemblance to that of which the benevolent Mr, Barnum bad go much reason to be proud, 1 refer to the United States Com- mission, the Board of Finance, and in part to the City Councils of Puiladelpbia. To the casual observer, if may be these bodies seem to live in pertect harmony, and to love each other as passionately as Mr. Barnum’s Jabber- woch loved the jub jub bird. or the jub jub bird the frumious bander-snatch. They say so themselves— these members of tue Happy Family of the Centen- ni Indeed, it is to be credited to them that ey, each are sincere in their desire to agree, p¥8vided each can have its own way, ‘I am the most reasonable ana quiet man in the world,” said Sir Peter Teazle, “proviaed Iam not contradicted.” Mr. John ish says that there has never been, that there is not, aud never will be any serious dispute between the Board of Finance and the United Stutes Commission, Mr, President Hawley and Mr. Director General Goshorn make the samo rash assertion. Tho Hon. Daniel J. Morrel, chairman of the Execativo Committee of the Commission, has also given his opinion, and, of course, Paints the portrait in rose colors, not like the artist who nd ips His brush In hues of earthquake and ecllpess Yot, unfortunately, all happy families are much alike, There is a skeleton in every closet, and the Centennial | skeleton ia the irreconcilable conflict between the United States Commission and the Financial Board. The proof of this ts tound not merely in rumor general belief, indications of want of sym- pathy and evidence of jealous — watchfuinoss, | but also in the official action of the two | great rival heads, The opinions of Georgo W. Biddle, Judge John K. Porter, of New York, and Judgo Shellabarger, of Washington, which the Heranp last Sunday published for tho first tims, and tne oppo- site opinions rendered by Charles 0’Conor, Mr. Browning and Mr. Hirst prove that both “bodies were only a little while ago | pretty much in tho condition of the monkey | and the parrot, The Board of Finance obtained the legal opinion of Mr. Charles ©’Covor and the concur- rent counsellors that it had supreme practical control of the Exhibition, the grounds and the police, and that the Commission was nothing more than a “supervisory body,” a Mr. Turveydrop, with no more authority than the figure head ofa ship has over tho captain, Mr. Biddale and bis distinguished brethren in the case, on the contrary, ‘ed that the Commission was vested by the v: acta of Congress with the “exclusive control” of the Exhibition, and that the | Board of Finance, was virtually no moro than a bank required by law to pay the requisitions on the treasury which the Commission might choose to make. This conflict was unfortunate, but that it existed I That effort has been made », but that it is ended is mot | 4 CLOUD IN THE SKY. } At the close of the Exhibition we shall see the Happy Family rather miserable. An enterprise 80 grand, so novel ana involving ,s0 much re- | sponsibility is cert to pe attended by blun- | ders of management, neglect of detail, extravagance and possibly with abuses of power. .When it is ter- minated, and the accounts which are now concealed are to be rendered tne public, the managers are bound to begin a contest of recrimination. The power is di- vided, and in the end the two rival heads will scek to shift the responsibility of the blunders on cach other, There 1s a cloud in the Centennial sky now which may produce a thunder storm next winter. The Board of Finance, which is chiefly a Philadelphia body, is accused by some of the members of the Cen- tennial Commission of applying the funds of the show not for the benefit of the exhibition — ttself, | but for the permanent improvement of that portion of the Fairmount Park im which the Exhibition build. | ingsare placed: In other words, they assert that the | | money which was given for the penetit of the “Exhibition is used for tho advantage of Philadelphia and her park. In evidence of this they point to the fights of permanent stone steps which have been erected, the terraces which have been proposed and the ‘superb lamps which are scattered over the grounds, but which are Not lighted avd are of not the slighted use to the via- flors. These charges have not beonas yet made pub- hely, but they are talked of and indicate that the Happy Family is still in a dangerous condition, and that the parrot and the momkey are likely to have another of those times in which they appear to de- light, [cite these charges without inaorsing or deny- ing them, but only as examples of the original blunder of making two heads to one body—a bluader which has alre: done the Exhibition much harm and is likely to do it more, INDIGNATION MEETING OF EXITUMTORS. For somo time past there bas been a deal of dissatie- faction aisong the foreign exhibitors in regard to the sale of goods in their separate departments which had been Imported “duty free." Yesterday afternoon a Boinont avenue, below of which is ‘appended, semblage ot the — exbibitors mittod informally a series of propositions, which, while | they were aot adopted, show the general feeling which has ariven in the minds of all those who have brougnt their handiwork to the grandest of all the world's fairs, ‘These propositions were as follows, and were after. ward submitted to the committee appointed, as | A TEST OF THE PRBLING of those who had assembled :— Firet—That the Treasury Department, Washington, be informed that it is impossible for inany foreign ex hibitors to comply with the last regaiation issued by that department concerning the sale of gools at the Centennial Exhivition, inasmuch as they caovot aford to pay their entire duty jn advance on every valuable and extensive exhibit, and that It would be equally difficult for them to. seleet out of the varied assortment of goods for exhibition and sale, euch as i be most likely to sutthe public taste and at tip | time keep the remainder packed up uuaer the . | customs’ seal, Second—Vhat tho wish of foreign exhibitors is to have permission to-sell aud deliver treely any articles hibited or otherwise, consistently with keeping im- tact the importance and eflect of thoir exbibit Third—That they are ready and willing to pay duty as often us required, on ail goods alter their xale | effected, but that it is not ia the power of every one pay the whole daty betorehand, bd Fourth—That tho authorities should be asked to Promptly reconsider the subject, sceing that more than one-fourth of the valuable period of the Exbibition hag | ‘ady passed, and the great loss of prods to them- setves and of duty to the government daily occurring throngh their sability to sell and in many in- stances even to show their is for fear of having their cases sealed, and through the stringent, and mn their opinion excessively strict, not to say aunoyins = degrading, surveillance exercised over then by officers. Fifti—That all the foreign exhibitors interested in this matter will keep their cases closed and exiivits covered pending such reduction, which, if it should not meeting was held on fim, a fall report Prior to the as there was sub. outlay without any proportionate return to eover them, which, unless existing regulations are altered, they not feel justified in sustaining apart from their com- mercial interests for the mere gratification of national and individual emulation. THR MEETING opened at ten minutes past three P, M, by of Mr. Henry Doulton, of Lambeth lager | Works, London, to tie chair, and the sclection of £. H. Ed- wards, of Belfast, Ireland, as secretary, Mr, Doulton, as chairman, inquired if all the groups had been formed, gested if they had that they Appoint a committee of one, which could form a com- Miltee to act upon the matters before them. ‘The room, which for tne number was very limited, was crowded to {ts utmost capacity, and the hot weather, acting upon the biood of those present, pre- asceno of excitement which, The sented as a con atone ume, g nationalities German, Spanish, Swiss, American, British and othors—w talking loudly and gesticugting to enforce their argu- ments.

Doulton (caairman) requested that the committee retire and consider the resolutions which had been | submitted, to whirh no oue was pledged. (The resolutions are given above.) Shortly after the committee retired | A DISTURMANCE | took place between a couple of those m the room, who were, however, in no way interested in the meeting, Mr, Doalton called for ‘order !"? and said—** It there is any difference of opinion between these gentlemen, they will kingly retire and leave. us to ourselves; we will leave thém to themselves; we cannot have ‘this meeting compromised hy any such conduct. com- mittee will return shortly and then we will be through; Jot us remember that we are attending an mternational exhibition, and let us be as international as possible.” Aiter an absence of about half an hour, during which there was some confusion, the committee returned and handed their report to the Chairman, who said his duties would be ight, He then read the following as the decision of the committee, it being translated into the different languages by the interpreter of the meeting. The report was considered seriatim, and adopted :— 1, That it Is the opinion of this meeting that the present STRINGENT CUSTOMS REGULATIONS with regard to the sale ot goods by foreign exhibitors at the Centennial Exhibition are injurious to their in- terests and also to the revenue of the country. 2 ‘That a deputation consisting of representatives of the different countries exhibiting shall proceed forth. with to Washington and present the grievances of the foreign exbibitors and confer with the Secretary of tho ‘Treasury. bat this deputation shall prepare a memorial set- ting forth the grievances of the foreign exhibitors, their repective commissions being requested to indorse the same. Mr. Doulton stated that the various commissions who represent the nations sould be respected and not gone against in the matter, Mr. Frazer said that the deputation should prepare the memorial and proceed with it to Washington; he could speak trom personal experience and say that he had no doubt they would secure the end for which the meeting had been called together. Mr. Doulton, from thechair, said that ‘it had been Suggested that the gentlemen named on the committee should, with the Chairman aad Secretary of the meet- ing, be,the deputation to prepare and present the same at Washington.” The suggestion was adopted. Mr. Doulton said he had been pleased at the CORDIAL WAY in which they had met. When divided they did not have half the strength which they would have if they went together. He was glad that the customs strin- geney had not been advetted to. Calm, quiet and Unanimons action would have the desired effect, ARRIVAL OF THE WEST POINT CADETS. An interesuing event at the Exhibition to-day was the arrival of the West Point cadets and their encamp- ment on the grounds, The cadets, 290 in nuin- ber, comprising the entire roster of — the Academy, leaving West Peint by the steamer Mary Powell reached Jersey City at about balf-past one o'clock P.M. Here they wore transtorred to a special train on the Pennsylvania Railroad and landed at fonr o'clock at the Centennial depot, opposite to the entrance to the grounds, At the time they alighted from the cara a shower of rain came up and there was a delay antil half-past tour o'clock betore they entered the grounds. At this hour the line was formed and they marched into the grounds, and they had scarcely formed inside the gates when another heavy shower came down upon them.
