HOWARD UNIVERSITY BUSINESS COLLEGE.
The business, bookkeeping and banking
class of this well.known university will
commence its sessions on Monday evening
next, at $3.50 O'Clock. No better opportunity
has ever been offered In this city for our
colored population of both sexes to avail
themselves Of chance to inform their
minds, and that, too, at cost that they all
eau command. 1t Is the intention of the
principal of the university and those con-
under their charge shall receive as complete
commercial education as can be had at any
like university in the land. Lectures will
be given from time to time. The very best
instructors have been engaged, and our
young colored population Of both sexes
should not let this golden opportunity pass
without making the best use OF 1t to their
lifelong advantage.

A LOUD .GRowL AT LINCOLN Hail.
.ucSsrs. Editors | was one of "the brilliant
audience" that greeted Mile Patti at Lin.
coin Hall the other evening, and | should
have enjoyed a rare treat, but for few an-
noyanccs that are sufficiently gricvous to
warrant public condemnation. One was the
miserable mode of entrance to the hall.
Strange that au architect should construct
so beautiful q hall without any better en-
trance than a hole In the floor, through
which visitors arc expected to climb up, like
coming up the hatchway Of a vessel. An
other annoyance was occasloned by the large
number of people seeking preserved seats"
for nearly an hour after the singing com.
menccd; and third was occasioncd by the
number Of persons who were compelled, like
the Dutchman's hen, to ''sit standing" or
permitted to block up the aforesaid "hatch-
way" without regard to 'thc views" OF
those who sat behind them. viii not the
"city fathers" pass an ordinance that will
restrain cupldlty by prohibiting the sale of
more tickets than there are seats, and to
correct ill-manncrs by requiring the lower
doors TO be closed when the performance
begins and entitle themselves to the lasting
gratitude Of at least OSE SUFFERER.

them in the sewer" Officer Lawler was
knocked down, and as Brown went to his
assistance, he received severe blow from a
paving stone on the back Of his head, which
fclled him.
The mob then set upon the policemen,
beating them with clubs and stones, and
were finally driven away by the members Of
the congregation, leaving their victims
groaning on the pavement. Justice 8. G.

force OF the precinct, sailed forth to search
for the mlscreants who had committed the

The fire occurring about this time, they
proceeded thither, and were fortunate In
finding the rlngleadcrs of the mob, and
Officers Fitzgerald, Howe, Davis and French
succeeded In arrestlng Bill Shaw, Randall

been engaged In like operations heretofore.
They were locked up, and will have hear

An EXTENSIVE EsTABLIsrMEST.-A hur-
rled glance yesterday at the immense stock OF
Messrs. Wall, Robinson & Co., 322 Pennsyl-
vania avenue, between Ninth and Tenth

second to none In tho country, and It is GER
tainly the Oldest and largest clothing estab-
llshment In the District of Columbia, EN-
ploying over three hundred hands In It's sew
cral branches. Colonel Wall, the senior
partner, is at present In Europe, making Sc
lections for the house here, and is constantly
shipping such articles OF cloths and gentle
mems furnishing goods as are seasonablc In
this market. The firm make q speciality of
the merchant tailoring business, keeping In
constant employ several Of the most expert
enced cutters and large number of unsur-
passed workmen. Their ready-madc cloth
Ing, for mems and boys wear, Is Of the 1ucst
grade OF manufacture, and is made up In all
the prevailing styles.
Particular attention Is also given to the
fine dress shirt trade, and all orders In that
line are filled with the greatest promptitudc.
The lower floor of the establishment Is en-
clusively devoted to the sale and display
OF travelling trunks, satchels, &c., and at

with directing our readers to the house, where
they will meet gentlemanly and affablc

charges for goods, as well as their quality,
assures every satisfaction, and Is the secret
