ALPHA DELTA PHI.

The twenty-ffth anniversary of the Fraternity of
Alpha Delta Phi was celebrated last evening in DR..
Chaplin church, which was filed with fine audience.
After music and prayer, the Rev. DIR. K. s Stors,
IT, President of the Fraternity gave short address
on the Importance history, statistics and prospects Of
the Society In the twenty-five years past it had
grown from nothing to fifteen Chapters and 900 men,
bers and he hoped that its ministry to the highest
wants of students and its diffusion of iendness among
literary men might be extended in equal ratio for the
twenty five years to come.
Mr. Donald G.. Mitchell delivered the Grafton. lie
commenced by an alusion to the origin of the Frater
nifty and the democracy Of its origin, starting up
strangely enough under the shadow of the depotism
of college government. Within its twenty-five
yesr-' life classicism and pure mathematics had
given way to modern languages and natural sciences;
Cicero was less read than Guzot and DE Tocqueyile
rote and Niebuhr had taken their places literature
and literary men were becoming more human, dealing
soore in what concerned our daily life. Imagination
mutt make itself useful or be tramped down. Com
rare Household Words with the Spectator. How
dead was Sir Roger &c Coverly. Even the Vicar Of
Wakefield had ceased to be alive. To-day the atmOs-
phere was nore intense Five millions of readers here
in America were to be reached, and their literature
must be largely humane. Literary men now must
put in words VIVA, other PIT in action. For this
they must meet much with men. The intention Of
art was becoming far more earnest. In our semns-
RES there were fewer Chloes and Sylyiis, and more
good wives and daughters. The Horace Walpole
of the last century was the Henry Mayhem of
this Yet, sturdy republicans, we in this country
lacked exercise for our affections. We were
too ant TO manifest our independence by our
harshbess and to forget the coureses of every day
Had Florence Nightingale been an American woman,
We might have dragged her carriage through our
streets; We might have presented her service of
plate but be feared that should not have founded
our admiration in q hospital, as they had done in
hearty England which should secure grateful memo-
res of her noble generosity throughout the future
Mr. Mitchell concluded with IA earnest appeal to
members TO contribute ali in their power toward re-
deening the social fault. Of our people.

act as Judge Of election, having arrived al the con-
viction that the thing would not do. The bogus
sheriff Of this county quarreled with the bogus
Judge and declared that there should not be an
election in Lawrence The two parties each asserted
tber authority and each declared that returns from
such points would or would not be legal. Whatever
influence tended TO prevent it, no polls were opened
in Lawrence. In Franklin there was the same
difficulty. the same uncertainty as to whether an
election would gmount TO anything. Al the voting

COLLECTING TAXES IN KANSAS.

The business OF collecting taxes IN kdnsas Is prose-

who do not recognize the authority of the Legislature,
olive the tax gatherers a reception which is anything
but friendly One day last week Deputy Marshal
Fan went from Lecompton to Lawrence to collect
ta1es One Of the first men he met was Col Eldndge,
whose splendid bStel Fain had been Instrumental IN
destroying last year. The following conversation took
place:
"Wen, Colonel have come to town TO assess
ro,srtv and collect taxes from you and the balance Of
The citizens. Are you ready to fork over
What! ask me for taxes, you ID william, after
burning up and destroying my property? If should
Jay you with ounce of cold lead, 1t would be what
YOU richly deserve If you have assessed any taxes
