HUMOR or BENCH AND THE BAR.
Some Good Stories From Various Courts
Across the Ocean.


Grim humor has often played con-
spicuous part IN criminal trials, and OF
the notorious Irish hanging judge. Lord
Norbury some curious stories are told.
A man was once tried before him for
the awful offence of putting out his
tongue at a constable. His lordship
ordered him to be whipped on three sue
cessive days from the Jail TO the market
house. When his lordshlp had con.
cluded, the prisoner exclaimed "rhe
devil tlauk you; that's all you can dom
Whereupon his lordship, resuming, said,
"Hold your tongue, sir; how dare you
interrupt the judgment of the court I"
and then significantly added, and back
again"
OF the same judge il was said that he
had never been known to shed tear
but once, and that was during the repre-
sentation of the "Bcggar's Opera" when
Macheath got reprieve.s 1t is also re.
lated of him that he once asked an emf
nent special pleader, at the dinner table,
whether the dish near him was hung
beef, because, ii SO, he would try it. "If
you try it, my lord" was the bitter re-
ply, "it is sure 10 be hung"
Lord Braxiiold, Scotch Judge, once
said to an eloquent culprit at the bar :
"Gou're vara clever chiel mon; but Pm
thinking we wad be none the waur o. a
hangin'."
Unconsciously funny was the Irish
man who, on being placed at the bar,
felt quite uneasy when arraigned, and
complained bitterly that he should be- IN
such an awkward position, 50 far from
friends and home. The Judge felt kindly
toward him, and said, "Bo calm, young
man. You may rest assured that,
although among strangers, full justice
will be done YOU" "Be me soul, yer
honor" groaned Pat, land it's the fear
OF that same that thrubbles me-"

Theatrical people as q rule rely chiefly

success or failure of an evenings per-

upon the approval of the goods" This
is largely due to the fact that most
theatre'goers who occupy the regular
seats in the orchestra chairs or circle do
not care to show their approval of the
play by boisterous demonstration but
prefer to remain silent and allow the
gallery to do the heavy applauding, no

may have of the performance.

THE RlsE OF GOLD SINCE 1878.

In the Century Magazine for January
there lie a very interesting article emit
tied, The Silver Side of the Question,
by G.. S. Thomas of Denver, in which
the Rmug dictum of the Century, that
''tbe highest authorities have no doubt
that there is an ample supply (of gold)
for the business of the WORLD" lie pretty
thoroughly knocked out. "Such," Mr..
Thomas truly says, lis not the testi-
mony OF Giffen or of Gibbs, OF Goschen
or OF Leech. The British royal commits
sion of 1888 unanimously reported
that the appreciation of gold WAS evil
dent, and resulted both from an in
creased demand and a decreased supply.
The 'accureed fall of prices since 1878,
which. in the language of Mr.. Balfour,
ia the most deadening and benumbing
influence that can touch the enterprise
OF nation is the unerring index to the
appreciation of gold. consequent upon
the general tendency of civilized nations
to gold basis, and upon the inadequacy
OF ths supply for their monetary needs."
No truer words were ever spoken, and it
is useless tor the Century editors or any
body else to attempt to controvert them.
The efforts of David A. Wells in
his book, Recent Economic Changes"
and in the last number of the North
American Review, to account for the
apparent fall Of all commodities, silver
included, during the last twenty years,
is, as Mr.. Thomas says, exceedingly in
genious. but it cannot overcome the evil
denee given by economists like Ssuer-
beck. Soetbeer and Palgrave, the investi-
cations of monetary commissions, and

lT is yet serious question whether
the leviathan battle-ships Great Britain
has added to her navy are sale. The
loss OF the Victoria with nearly every
ono on board was an object lesson against
building more of these monster battle
ships. England has just received an
other warning by the narrow escape OF
the Resolution. That ship was recently
caught in a hurricane in the Bay of Bis
cay and was in such imminent peril that
very little more heeling would have
caused her to founder. She had to put
back to Queenstown and thence 10
Davenport for repairs and these may
prove very costly. The most alarming
thing about the cruise was the lack OF
confidence in her stability spread among
those on board. Matters were 60 seri-
ous that the admiralty summoned the
captain and some OF the other OF.
