Pummeling the Judge.

Last Friday October 81 an extraor-
binary crime was perpetrated at the st.
Petersburg Palais de Justice. A private
soldier, of immense size and strength,
named Alexandroff, was condemned in
the usual course of the judicial proceed
ings to three years imprisonment with
hard labor for robbery with violence.
After the removal of the prisoner he
expressed an earnest desire to communi-
cate something of Importance to the
Judge. Mr.. Tchuchawoff, on hearing the
request, left his seat, and approached
the man, who, as soon as he was sufficient
ly close, sprang suddenly upon him,
dragged him by the beard to the ground,
and then, shouting, "You scoundrel,
you have sentenced me to three years,
have you? Pll teach you lesson" pro-
ceeded to beat him with his fists. The
blows of the enraged assailant were so
heavy that the shrieks of the Judge were
heard by people on the third floor of the
building. The warden taken by sur
prise, did not offer assistance till the
judge was already on the floor, and then,
emitting to leave go his rifle and using
only one hand, was unable to impede
AlexandrOf in his attack until other
persons in the court co-operated in the
seizure of the prisoner. The Judge was
afterward found to have suffered SO much
from the attack that he WAS unable to
move without the help of the officers

was filled with jewelrJ-watches, guards,
ear rings and finger rings. A further
examination of the museum revealed
other and as singular hiding places; for
example, game-cock was found put out
of sight; on taking hold of it, a noise of
clinking metal was heard. On lifting
up the feathers over the crop, a small
hole was seen, out of which rolled, when
the bird was shaken, a number of trink-
cts.
Nearly all the proceeds of the two rob
berries of the jewelry were recovered, one
watch and few guards only being
absent. And some of the property of
the provision-dealer were found slowed
in the breeding box, though much of it
had been used or sold. scarcely need
say that the parcel sold to "the gar
deDer" was part Of it, and had to do
with the detection. My friend, the SER
geant, informed me that he had been in
duced to assume the character, which he
had SO well enacted, entirely on specula-
ton. While making survey of the
neighborhood, a few days before he began
to play his art, he had observed the
backward state OF the landlords garden;
and believing that he would readily
catch at chance of getting it finished
off in a cheap way, and being 8 good
hand at gardening, he had hit upon the
scheme which had answered 80 we'll. He
had believed that the robbers were not
far from the locality of the public-house,
and might come there now and again,
and SO could he lodge there without
being known or suspected he might come
at all that he desired. And as he had
hoped SO did it come to pass.
The naturalist, who, it came out, had
long been receiver of stolen property,
and his son, whose first burgiaries these
were, Igot each five years penal servitude;
one of the other men-who came from
distant town and were old hands-was
likewise convicted and punished; but
the fourth, for some forgotten reason,
got off. My friend came in for the good
reward offered in the case; and, for the
part had taken in the affair, the jew
eler gave me gold pencil-holder, which

passengers chung to the canoe, and might
have escaped with consequences no worse
than those which would lave attended
discomfort and exposure, but for the
fact that the capsize occurred in locali-
ity infested with sharks. These raven
GUS monsters seized their victims one by
one, devouring twenty-three out of the
twenty-five unfortunates whose lives
were thus placed at their mercy. Of the
two survivors who escaped, one is a

gives the value In cents Of the standard gold
dollar in legal-tender paper dollars on July
Of each year from 1864 to 1878, and also ON
Jan. Of the present year:

During the last fifteen years gold coin has
been used by the banks in comparatively small
amounts as q reserve, and by the people only
in the payment of customs duties and in pur-
chase OF foreign exchange. If it was used for
home purposes, it was first converted into
paper money; but since the day of resumption
the treasury note and the national-bank note
have been generally preferred in business
transactions to coin itself.
The old forms Of hbles, giving the amount
and kind Of currency in circulation, are now
obsolete, and must be superseded by new ones,
which shall include not only the paper currency
but also the coin Of the country. The total
amount OF the circulating medium cannot, for
this reason, be hereafter accurately given, such
total being affected by estimates of the amount
of the coin in the country. The latter amount
is estimated by the Director of the Mint to have
been 1927, 100000 on the LIST day Of November,
in this year, of which amount $121 COO, COO was
in silver coin. II this estimate is correct, the
circulating medium on that date was composed
as follows:

reached between the suspension and the re-
sumption of specie payment"
The Comptroller urgently recommends that
all the national banks shall take advantage of
the present influx Of gold to accumulate in
their vaults an amount equal to the total cash
reserve required by law. He indnlges the
hope that the reports of another year may show
