A correspondent asks us to print page or two
of eulogy he supplies of "Miss O'GOrman, the
escaped Nun" This we decidedly decline to do
Her story may be true, but it does not have the
impress of truth, and seems to be but a rehash
of the speculative fabrication of the notorious
Maria Monk. A good many worthy people who
endorsed the Monk story without sufficient ex-
animation afterwards had occasion to hang their
heads in shame; and those who now i'm such haste
vOuch for this woman O'Gorman nav have
similar cause to regret their precipitancy.
We are not of the creed assalled BY her AMI
can. therefore, with the more candor express
our conviction that all these Narratives, of
the Monk-O'Gorman order are ingenious adj
vertising devices of INSCRIPTIONS spectators.
who care not a straw for Professionalism or Ca
thoiicism, or how much bad blood Is created by
their vile sensations. Undoubtedly, however
Catholicism is the gamer by these mountebank
assaults. The noble, self-sacrficing work done
hy the Sisters of Charity In caring for the
orphan, the sick, and all in distress, is known
and appreciated by all, and unscrupulous as
saults upon their character and deeds simply
serves to create sympathy both for them and
their religion.

The investigation by a committee of the Penn
sylvania legislature of the alleged sale by char
tered medical colleges in Pennsylvania of
licenses to commit murder-for these bogus
diplomas amount to just that's still in pro-
gress, and some damaging revelations have been
made. One OF the witnesses, John Hall, colored.
had paid sixty dollars for diploma to Buchan-
ans college. He was to have received the bene-
fits of two lectures and was to have been exam
ined, but had never been called on; he knew of
other colored men who had also bought di plomas.
Another witness, DIR. q. Dunbar Hylton testi-
he'd that the Eclectic and Philadelphia medical
colleges were run mostly, it seemed to him. by
Buchanan and Paine together. To test the hon
esty of Buchanan's institution, DIR. Hylton had
recently applied TO Paine for a diploma for a
child not two years old. II was witness child,
but Paine had not been informed of the fact.
nor of the child's age. The sum had been named
at which the diploma could be bought, and
Paine suggested that the diploma, if desired,
might be antedated four years. Witness had
replied that the applicant had only been i'm the
country for two years. The arrangements had
been completed, but the money had not been
rendered. 1t is also in evidence that numbers
diplomas have been mailed to parties In Eng
land, on receipt Of the amount charged.

The New York Custom House investigations
has not produced the astounding Developments
anticipated by some, but enough has been
developed to indicate an opening for reform, and
this reform the President has already entered
upon. The later testimony is somewhat awk-
ward for government detective Whitley AMI
Col. Frank T.. Howe of the same service.
Against Whitley there was testimony OF whole
sale appropriation of goods seized by his
detectives, and OF seizures made by him without
any show Of legal authority. Against Howe it
was testified that he had mulcted a victim of
$1,000 whose books and papers had been seized on
an unfounded charge. Probably these officers
can establish their innocence, and it is worth
their while TO do it.

Readers OF Charles Reade's ''Foul Play" will
remember how the villainous lover in that ro-
nance was coniounded by an expert, who traced
to him, through some peculiarities In his hand
writing, the forgery for which an innocent man
was convicted. Ii all looks plausible enough,
and 30 do the stories floating around through the
newspapers occasionally about the wonderful
developments in will cases, &C., through the
sharpness Of this class Of experts; but we doubt
ii they are any better authority on that subject
than the medical experts on the Wharton trial
were shown TO be on toxicology. One expert is
all very well If another don't come along with
opposing theories. In the trial in Taunton,
Mass, last Saturday, of one Pettis, on the
charge of perjury, one of these experts As to
handwriting was completely upset by a legal
expert, and this was the manner of it: He testi
fed that he had carefully compared specimens
of Pettis' acknowledged handwriting with the
forged check and certain letters, and they were
all written by the same man, giving his testi-
mony in very positive and authoritative man
ner. Mr.. Hyde, counsel for Pettis, then handed
him four old envelopes and asked him if he
could tell whose handwriting was on them The
witness, after taking time to examine them, re-
appeared on the stand, and said in the same
positive manner that "the superscriptions on
the envelopes were all in the same handwriting,
and all written by the man who forged the
check" Mr.. Hyde at once took the stand, and
taking the envelopes, said, ''this one was writ
ten by the clerk of the Boston Water Power
Company, this one by a friend of mine in New
York, the third is my own handwriting and the
fourth is Pettis'! subs.antiating his statement
by producing the letters received in some of the
envelopes. The envelopes were some he had by
chance, in his pocket.

The California Assembly has ordered to en-
grossment, preparatory to passage, q bill ex-
empting journalists from jury service. The
passage of the bill was not asked for by the
Journalists, but it was conceded to them as q
matter of right, upon the ground that they
were engaged in public duties quite as neces-
sary, and even imperative, as jury-service
Practically, the courts everywhere make dis
elimination in favor Of journalists, but a for
nal law is more to the point. 1t is a public
necessity that the newspaper be issued every
day, and this can only be done properly by the
united efforts Of its whole staff. In almost any
other business deputy can serve for the prin-
cipal, but in journalistic duties there are no
deputies.

The London Times has concluded from the pro

theealm by this government for consequential
damages, and does not think that the language

Americans to withdraw their demands 1t dis
approves altogether the verbal discussion of The

likely TO prove mischievous, yet criticises the

government was only in obedience to the unani-
