THE LEGISLATURE.

The legislature adjourned yesterday after
session which has bsen considerably shorter
thsn recent sessions, but perhaps not less
interesting or profitable to the State. Ger
tain it is that there has been some good Leg
islation, and it strikes us that there have
been fewer doubtful bills passed than usual
The most satisfactory act Of this legislature
was the passage of the Biennial Sessions bill
It received hearty support in both branches.
The people will now be allowed to say what
they think about the proposed amendment.
We shall be surprised If they do not emphat-
ically give it their approval, Connecticut is
far behind the times in this matter. Most of
the other States of the Union have biennial
sessions, and they find them amply sufficient
for their needs Connecticut does not need
annual sessions any more than she needs two
governors. Biennial sessions will result in
saving of about half of the present legislative
expenses, and we shall avoid much of the
unsatisfactory legislation which is the fruit
Of annual sessions.
Another important act of this legislature
was the appointment of a commission, to be
composed of nine gentlemen. to revise the
tax laws of the State. and to submit their re-
port to the next General Assembly. If there
is anything in this State which needs revising
more than another it is the tax laws. They
are complicated and insquitable. The COM
mission appointed to revise them has a chance
to do good thing for the State, and no
doubt will try to: 1t is earnestly to be hoped
that its OHOrts will be successful.
Those who have been most prominent in
conducting the business of the legislature
will receive the usual amount of praise, and
we are glad to be able to say that such
praise will be more suitable and sensible
than it sometimes Is. Lieutenant Governor
of the Senate with skill, good judgment and
frmness. Speaker Harrison has been a
model speaker. He has guided the business
of the house with accuracy, dignity and
most careful impartiality. The business of
the Senate has been much helped by Senator
scofsld, the leader on the Republican side
and in the House Chairman Case has done
great deal to expedite and simplify matters.
New Haven has been well represented in
the House and in the Senate. Speaker Har-
rison's influence has always been on the
right side, and his powerful plea for biennial
sessions did him and those who sent him
great credit. If New Haven would send at
least one such man as Mr.. Harrison to every
session of the legislature she would increase
her power and reputation. Mr.. Lay, the
other representative from New Haven, has
been the leader on the Democratic side, and
has been faithful to the interests of his con-
stitusnts. We expect to see him in the Sem
ate before long. It was Senator Plunkett's
second year of SERVICE and he has exercised
much influence in the Senate. He has been
very popular, and has introduced. some good
bills which have passed, and also some good
ones which ought to have passed.

The Cleveland Press says: An amusing
incident occurred at the Saturday matinee at
the Academy. which for moment bid fair to
break up further presentation of the play.
In the third act the leading man gets into a
passion with his wife. They quarrel most
naturally and the man seizes whip and
strikes his wife, impersonated by Marie
Prescott. The latter sinks upon the floor
with eroan while her demon husband glares
at her like tiger. When the play had gone
thus far on Saturday and just after the hus
band had struck his wife, little child in the
audience, imbusd with the irrepressible desire
to give away family secrets, like all children,
piped out in loud voice: THAT'S just the
way my pa hits my NAL" The effect on the
audience was instantaneous, and although
worked up to the highest pitch of angry ex-
element by what was transpiring on the
stage, loud, long and hearty laugh followed
the innocent remark of the little enc. The
actor and actress on the stage laughed louder
than anybody else In the house, and it was
long time before they could assume sober
faces enough to go on with their lines. The
mother of the little one hustled the youngster
rapidly out, and it will probably be day of
frieid atmosphere when she again takes that
child to see play.

Abraham Lincoln while resident of New,
Salem, Ill, followed various aVocations.
With all the rest he was s'storekeeper' and
postmaster On a cert ain occasion one of
his friends, having learned that an agent of
ths Postofice department and drummer
were 10 the village-the former to collec
what was due the government from Lincoln,
as postmaster, the latter to receive from him,
as trader, what he was owing the firm repre-
sented by himself-and knowing Lincoln was
never overburdened with spare funds, went
to the store and offered to lend him o sum
sufficient to meet the claims he was SO soon
to be called upon to settle. You are very
kind" said Lincoln, ''but I do not think /
shall require your assistance" Within few
minutes the agent entered their presence, and
Lincoln took an old stocking from drawer,
out of which he poured lot of copper and
silver coin-the latter mostly in pieces of a
small denomination. s'Ihere is the very
money have taken on account of tho post
ofice,'' he remarked to the agent, land
think you will find it the exact amount due
you It was, to a cent. This business had
hardly been concluded when in cana the
drummer Lincoln had recourse to anoth-
er old stocking, with similar result Sc
soon as the two were again by themselves
the friend said: 81 suppose, were thirG
creditor to present himself third stocking
