A YOUNG MAN IN A LADY's BeAEDrSar
ScHooL.-The city of Philadelphia has
just had sensation y which has set
tongues a-wagging. Like other larger
cities. Philadelphia is well supplied with.
educational institutions, where young
ladies are " finished y before entering
society, and in one of these, not far
from Spruce street. the sensation origi-,
mated. The story is that not long ago
an elderly gentleman drove up to the es-.
adjustment, and introduced his
daughter, who was, to all appear,
ance. charming girl of about twenty,
to the principal. The young lady's fa-
ther Taid literally for her tuition, and
she was at once installed as pupil,
and most popular one at that. She.
was assigned to room where there
were half dozen other girls, and rapid
ly ingratiated herself with the whole
school. Everything was going along
swimmingly until one day the yonng
lady sent off trunk, and shortly after-
ward disappeared herself. Then whis~
perings were heard, and pretty soon it
was asserted that she wasn't girl at
all. This story, unfortunately. has been
verified, and it IS very certain that some
wretches have passed off smooth faced
boy OF eighteen or twenty as a girl. and
that he has lived for more than month.
in one Of the most respectable institu-,
tons of the city. Much sympathy is felt,
for tire young ladies who were the.
girls" schoolmates, though there is
not the slightest hint at any wrong on.
their part. Strenuous efforts lave been
made to keep the matter secret, but it
has leaked out and created quitea fur

it encountered the persistent opposition Of
eight members Of tho Board, ,-CERo11, Cow
Ley, JOHNSON, CRAWFORD, HERr1NG, LoSEH-
GAN, RUSSELL, and NcCNFREy. These men
formeda minority Of one in the Board, and
voted soidly together on every proposition
to defeat honesty or to protect rascality.
They voted to strike out tiaat portion Of the
report which exposed PEE1o1Ar's monopoly
OF the contracts. They voted to re-elect tho
Warden and County Agent, who had per-
mitted the contractors to put in bills for
more supplies thnn had been received.
They voted to retain every man who
had been suspected or dishonest, and
to oust every man who had been faithful and
honest. They then voted to postpone final
action on the report and the recommendations
Of the Committee. There could be no
stronger evidence than this solid vote that
these eight men had banded together to sane
ton and sustain the hnuds which the Com
mittee had exposed
It is the bad custom in local politics to di-
vioe up into nationnities Following this
rule, we find the County Ring to be mainly

has been called upon By the Stats ztitung
to resign CRAWFORD md RUSSELL are Ameri-

Irish members have been repudiated By the
nationality they represent; now what will
the Irish voters and taxpayers say to the
conduct Of. A1ess1s, LoSERa4s, CoS1Er, CAR-
ROLL, and McCnTREY?
This ring must be broken up. Itseristcnce

for evil~doing is almost boundless. We re-
peat that every party end every nationality
should join to put it down If Mr. LoSEn~

he been allowed his own way he would have
