President Steele has placed us under
obligations for the Annual Catalogue of
this popular institution of learniog. We
copy the condensation of an exchange, as
follows:
From the catalogue we learn that
the Institution has now in attendance 294
students, about one third of whom are
ladies. The next graduating class con-
tains nine. One hundred and thirty
students have graduated from the Insti-
tuition, forty-fve of whom are ladies.
The winter term begins on Wednesday,
the Sd day of January next, and closes
Tuesday, March the Goth. In admitting
ladies to all tho privileges of the institu-
ton from the beginning, the officers took
a step in advance of other similar institu-
tons, which displayed as much practical
good sense as it did Christian spirit. In
this, Lawrence University is at least an
half score of years in advance of q
large majority of the colleges Of the coun-
try, and for this liberality we tally one
to the credit Of the Institution" ~ 81
1t affords US peculiar pleasure to see the
growing prosperity Of this University, for
the reason that we know it to be one of
the very best in the West.

AVOIDING THE LICENSE TAX.

A prominent broker on Carondelet
street complains to us that his legitimate
business is seriously injured by species
OF Chinese cheap labor, which is about
as bad, in its way, as was All Sins fashion
OF extracting trump cards out of his capa-
cious sleeves. Fugitive brokers never
pay any licenses, never return any incomes,
and otherwise avoid all the burdens that
the legitimate professional pays as his pro
rata toward the support Of the govern
ment. They engage desk in an Office,
operate upon the street, keep shady when
the revenue officer calls for his returns,
and are the most innocent lambs in the
world when questioned as to business.
AS high as twenty-five of these desks have
been hired in one establishment, not one
OF which ever paid dollar to the State or
city in the shape of license. Their
owners are mute as kittens when the
license inspector is about, scribbling away
as if they were the clerks of the boss of
the establishment. If inquiry is made of
the landlord about the desks and their oc-
cupants, be shrugs his shoulder in an
ignorant kind of way, and passes the thing
of with the casual remark that the gentle
men are merely ''doing little writing"
shave no business, "want place to keep
their papers" etc., and the officer departs
without his proper information. The
gentleman who spoke Of the matter COM
plains that these fugitives injure the bust
ness of the legitimate profession by cutting
down prices and trading in an unreliable
and irresponsible fashion generally, to the
great detriment ofthe honest brokers who
keep their offices public, pay their licenses
and uphold their faith under all circum-
stances. Perhaps these points will inform
the revenue officers of thing or two.

SWAPPING WITCHES FOR DEVILS.

| The Young Democracy in New York
proposes to fill the place which the Tam
many Democracy is about to vacate, Mr..
O'Brien is the author Of this proposition,
and pleads that Tweed's place ought to be
given to him. Two years ago, on account
of some difficulty about dividing the
spoils, the Young Democracy in New York
set up howl against 1ammany Hall, and
refused to be comforted. Mr.. O'Brien
was its leader then, as he is now. The
public thought there was some hope for
the city, as the bowling dervishes Of the
O'Brien faction declared it would never
support such rotten thing as Tammany
again. Mr.. O'Brien was quoted with the
nomination for sheriff, and the muss which
promised so much good ended in doing
good deal of evil by giving the elections
to Tweed, Hoffman and Hail. Somehow
one of O'Brien's men, or a score of them.
were displaced from their employment
by the ''ring," and their captain was
forced to put on his war paint again, since
he could not feed all his retainers in the
sheriff's Office. O'Brien did not go about
his new attack with the bluntness of a
bold soldier, bnt he adopted strategical
plan Of campaign that left the road open
for treaty or fight. The ''ring" kept
its public accounts in such secret way
that the public could never discover where
the rascality was hid. Controller Con-
molly refused to print any statement of
the public expenditures, and denied the
Bohemians any insight into his books.
Under these circumstances nothing could
be proved against him, and the citizens
were in despair at their lack of ability to
detect the speculations that were being
made upon the public treasury.
In this emergency O'Brien embezzled
one OF his friends into the controllers
Office as confidential clerk. This man
pretended to be great friend to the con-
troller, and played the hypocrite so Sue
cessfully that Connolly trusted him with
all the terrible secrets of his Office. The
clerk made hay while the sun shone. He
copied all the swindling accounts and gave
them to O'Brien. For five months the
leader of the young Democracy held the
damning evidences in his possession.
neither using them himself nor ALLOWING
others to use them. At last, a reporter
of the New York Times obtained glimpse
OF these precious papers and copied some
OF them with the most innocent purpose
Next he published them and accompanied
the expose with statement that he knew
all the dread secrets of the ''ring." The
storm commenced to gather. OBrien
saw that some of his secrets had been
published he did not know how many
more were out, and to save himself he
commenced making statements on his
own accounts. The tempest gathered
force. One leak of criminality was draw
ing another out. The rascals commenced |
to defend themselves, and some of them
confessed. The ring" divided on the
principle SAFE que peM. Then came the
avalanche, and the entire budget of in
fanny was unrolled before the gaze of the
