He Had to Perambulate to Keep Him- { self Awake. ‘An old judge who has now terminated his earthly as wellas judicial career used to annoy counsel practizing in his court. by walking around while business was being transacted. The old man was a good lawyer, but seemed to have an uncontrollable desire to go to sleep, and he would persistkg{n walking around so as to keep awake. -He would %ften walk up and down the bench and along the corridors for an hour at a stretch, and

would decide a point with all the gravity of a supreme court judge while ; leaning on the rail dividing the attor- ' neys’ section from the publie portion of the court-room. On oune oceasion-a strange attorney came over from.ans other town to argue a case. He commenced to raise a point as to there being any cause of action, and, to his surprise, before he had got through the second sentence the judge got up and commenced to perambulate. Coun--4 . 5 | sel promptly sat down, assuming thqg/y this was a signal for adjournment, and the judge with equal promptness overruled his point and told counsel for the other side to proceed. The lawyer who had but just commenced his argnment protested loudly ‘and almost | wildly, and the court was soon im an uproar. - The visiting attorney refused to address the court while it was wan- | dering around, and as a result he lost his case. Other complications of a . ‘similar character arose from time to ‘time, and on one occasion a new trial - ‘was asled for on the gronnd that the judge refused to remain on the bench ‘while the case was being argued.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. e Tadtial :":f‘ - ~'-" ’,: ’ .Z.i‘,v‘ il ”4»: S g T e

.QUR‘RENQYf DISCUSSED. - Carlisle’s Bill Under Debate in the National House of Representatives. On January 3 Mr. Black (dem., Ga.) resu.%ql the debate on the currency question which had been interrupted by the holiday recess. He denied that the banking and currency committee had heard only' national bankers ‘while considering the pending measure and had turned a.deaf ear to all otliers. Legis~ lation had not caused all the misfortunes under which ‘the people were .§urfering, he said.. It might have contributed to their misfortune, and ke believed the passage of the present bill would contribute to their relief, but he deprecated the feeling abroad in the land that for all the ills and misfortunes of the people they should turn to ‘congress. Mr. Black’s advocacy of state banks of issue was ardent, but he concluded by expressing the opinion that the only: real function of the-goverment was the coinage of gold and silver. . ;

Mr. Haughen (rep., Wis.) described the &u’rs rency hill, as ‘a crude, i{ll-considered meastire, fraught with dangers to the country, and created considerable amusement by his reference to Mr. Springer's position last summer, when he (Springer) antagonized the repeal of the otate bank tax. -He referred ‘to Mr. Springér as the most- “‘agile” member on the floor, one whose voice had been on every side. of every question, and said the administration had made no 'mistake when it had selected him to press the proposition for & ‘“‘flexible and elastic” currency. . A L ‘Mr. McCreary (dem., Ky.) s!aid he had ex-| amined all the plans suggested for‘a reform of . the currency, and he regarded the €arlisle bill, ~as amended -by this Springer modification as the best solution of the problem offered. He was opposed, he said, to funding the greenbacks with interest-bearing bonds. He believed the bagking business ‘should be ‘divorced from the government; that the green‘backs should be retired by the surplus revenue as rapidly as possible, and that a safe and _elastic currency should be provided. These objects, he thought, would be attained by the passage of the pending bill. Mr,- McCreary expressed the opinion that in the event of the failure of some . currency legislation at this session, $100,000,000 or “$150,000,000 of bonds would il]mve to be issued. i / - On thé& 4th Mr. Hendrix (dem. N. Y.), a banker, continued the debate. Mr. Hendrix described at length the process. by which the gold was withdrawn by Speculators for ship.ment abroad, and c’chen‘ proceeded to contrast this with the situation in France, where the bank of France refused to pay, except.where actually necessary, more than 5 per cent. of gold on-its demand obligations.. These aggres= sions on our gold reserve must be stopped, and if the pending bilF would stop them, afford relief, take the government out of the banking business as it had been taken out of the silver business, he would vote for it. Mr. Hendrix said that the pending bill was open tothe vital objection” that it would noti do what it set out to do. It would not relieve the treasury of the aggressions on its gold: it would be a.failure as a bank measure, because it would superimpose upon an uncertain body of public credit currency a much longer anfl more uncertain body of private credit currency, without sufficient . foundation under the former: b e ;

Mr, Sperry (dem., Conn.) presented hissubstitute to fund the greenbacks with 3 per cent. gold bonds for the information of the house. ‘Mr. Caruth (dem., Ky.) eulogized Secretary Carlisle and commended the efforts of the administration to solve the curreficy problem and relieve the treasury and indorsed the pending measure. 3

Mr. Hepburn declared that. Mr’ Hendrix had unwittingly pointed out the remedy for the present evil when he told the house that the great banking houses of Europe exercised their discretion about depleting .their ! gold vaults.” *“Why will ffot; the secretary of the treasury exercise the same discretion?” he asked, amid a round of applause. ‘“The exercise of this discretion did not impair the European banks. Who dared to say that the credit of this country with 68,000.000 of people behind it and an unlimited taxing power would be impaired because it refused to kneel at the demands of the Shylocks?” o 5 “Why have not the republican secretaries of the treasury exercised that discretion?’’ asked Mr. Pence (pop., Col.). 2 B .“I have not beerr secretary of the treasury,” replied Mr. Hepburn, hotly. “When I am I will answer. . I am as fully convinced, how= exer, as I am that lam alive that if the secretary of the treasury were now to exercise his discretion and pay gold when legitimate redemptions were asked and. refuse fit to sharks and speculators- the evils from!'which we suffer.would cease to be.” ! B

- Mr. Dingley (rep., Me). placed the neces= sity for remedying- the defects in the currency system above the necessity of relieving the treasury. The treastury had been living on: hope for the last eighteen months and there could be no' confldence until the revenues equaled the expenditures.. Mr. Dingley asserted that the pending bill would not relieve the treasury. DMNr. Gresham (dem., Tex.) supported the bill. o 3

_ DEADLY REVENGE. : ' Alleged Author of a Kentucky Sheriff’s | - Downfall Is Killed. & HARRODSBURG, Ky., Jan. .—Atll:5O . Friday morning Sheriff John I.
