The reform legislature which Pennsylvania
"botter element" republicans aided the dem
ocrats to oloct, by staying at home on election
day, or voting the wrong way, has been in
session nearly year. In that time it has
done nothing, and cost the people at least
$1,OOo0OO in per diem of members and other
running expenses. It has beentho worst logis-
lature that has assembled in Harrisburg for
many years, and there have been several
bad ones. 1t has become stencil in tho nos
trils of the people. But for the determined
stand made by tho republican membors, the
extra session would probably lust until the
end of the year, and possibly lap over into
the next. As it is, the republicans have com
PEELED the adoption of q joint resolution
shutting down on further appropriations and
as democratic reform circus cannot run with
out cash tho end cannot be far of.
The election of Pattison has turned out to
bo as calamitous as the election Of his legis-
lature. He has proved a dismal failure, and
the "better element" by whose assistance he
was elevated into power is hiding its face in
shame The "botter element" is rapidly
reaching the conclusion that it can do more
practical good by remaining in and working
with tho republican party than by joining
the democratic Bedouins aud embarkine
in the political throat cutting business. The
era of sham reform is waning.

How q FOrger was Detected.
From the PHILADELPHIA Ledger.

The forger, known as "Steve" Ray
mond, who was sentenced in NeS
York court recently to Imprisonment
for life, under the new penal code. for a
second conviction of forgery through an
attempt to sell stolen securities Of the
Northampton bank, of Massachusetts.
nearly outwitted the detectives and the
authorities OF the Eastern penitentiary
while an inmate of the institution in
1876. He had been implicated in the
forgery of Buffalo and Erie forged rail-
road bonds, and, after escaping from
Elmira Jail, had been sent abroad by
some OF his coniederates after they had
robbed him of $4,000 in bonds. which
he had concealed in his hat.
William Pinkerton, of the detective
agency, had pursued him all over Eu-
rope, Canada, and the United States.
Raymond came to Philadelphia, and un-
der the name ofFrank Stewart had been
sent to the penitentiary on swindIing
scheme through the mails His identi.
ty was unknown, bat through corre-
spondence with woman in Brooklyn,
warning her not to visit him, he was
suspected as prisoner of some account.
William Pnkerton came to Philadelphia,
and described the fugitive forger as hav-
ing blue eyes, one of which was glass.
Warden Cassiday declared himself
satisfied that he had no glass.eyed pris-
oners. Inspector Charles Thomson
Jones examined the record of recent
prisoners, and after visiting the cells OF
seven entered the eighth, that of the So
called Stewart. The inspector looked
squarely in his,eyes. The convict quailed.
His visitor remarked, "Well, that's the
hest glass eye ever saw; l have seen
them but never saw blue one BEFORE"
The prisoner remarked, "Who has Civ
en- me away? Is Billy Pinkerton here?"
When the inspector said that he was

"Well, l see it's all up. Tell Billy /

Loves Smooth Course Rudely In
terrupted by a Postmaster.


From the Memphis (Tsnn.) Avalanche.
A very pretty little romance was out
lined before Judge Hammond on his re-
cent trip to Jackson. where he held
court for about week. A handsome
and high-spirited young fellow named
j. I. Williams was on trial for violating
the postal laws. Young Williams has a
very pretty sweetheart living near Jack
son to whom he wished to send hand
some bouquet. The choicest flowers in
the field were secured by him, and a
fragrant and beautiful bouquet such as
would awaken the tenderest emotions
in a young girls breast was the result.
Bright visions arose before him as to
the JOY with which she would receive
the tender message of the flowers. He
sent the bouquet through the mail as
merchandise or fourth class matter, but
alas! he made one fatal mistake. Con-
cealed among the roses he placed b note
which was written in way not intend
ed for any eyes but those of the young
lady.
The flowers of course passed throug h
the hands of a satanic postmaster. Nat
uraly he was attracted by their beauty
and his senses were lulled by their de.
licious odor. While he was critically
examining Flora's beautiful offerings he
noticed the end of the letter peeping out
of its bed of roses. He pulled it from
its hiding place, opened it, and de.
voured its contents. Now. instead of
keeping the secret with himself, that
diabollcal United States official forgot
the romance of his youth and the care
lessness of loves young dream, and saw
nothing in the circumstances but avi-
olation of the postal laws, which might
provide that no writing Of any kind
shall be sent with merchandise. Ac-
cordingly he had young Williams arrest
ed, and while Judge Hammond was in
Jackson the trial came on. 1t is said the
handsome Federal Judge, who is not
without touch of romance in his COM
position, had hard time wrestling with
the judicial problem before hi II. He had
been familiar with mandamuses against
counties, processes against moonshiners,
and various other kinds of criminal and
civil procedures, but this was something
novel in the law, and all his native SYM
pathies were with the boy. Williams
pleaded guilty, and the Judge picked
out the very lowest fine prescribed by
the stature, namely $40, and imposed it.
Young Williams said he did not mind
paying postage or the fine but he dis.
liked intensely to have his letter read.
The case aroused great interest in Jack
son, and the general sentiment there
WAS that President Arthur ought to
bounce that Postmaster instanter.
