AN EMPEROR'S FURY.
Paul of Russia's Order to His Reg
ment of Horse Guards.

Paul of Russia's Order to His ReEi-
ment of Horse Guards.
On one occasion during a parade of
his horse guards the Emperor Paul Of
Russia was extremely dissatisfied with
the manner in which the troops per-
formed their evolutions. At length, aft
err more than ordinarily stupid blum
der on the part of the troops, the ear
could stand it no longer, and he deter
mined to preside over the drill in per-
son. The troops were we'll aware that
the cars temper was on the verge of
bubbling over, and the knowledge so
unnerved them that things went from
bad to worse until at last blunder SUI
pervened-a blunder in which officers
and men shared alike-which proved
the climax.
Galloping up to the disorganiZed lines
and refining up his charger at their
head, livid with fury which he no lon
ger attempted to suppress, Paul gave
vent to the following original and eff
fective speech: "Officers and troopers
Of the Imperial horse guards, right
about face! Quick-march-tO Siberiav'
The entire regiment, with unbroken
composure and dignity, wheeled to the
right and started off then and there up
on their terrible march into exile. BY
the time they had arrived at point
lying some few days march from the
capital, the cars temper having cooled
down. swift couriers were dispatched
after the eXiled guards with news OF
the imperial clemency, and the troops
were allowed to return

Dagger Money.

In former times when travelling was
not so safe as in the twentieth century
the judges often needed an escort when
passing from one town to another on
circuit. 1t was the duty of Newcastle
to provide such protection for the jour
ney between that town and Carlisle.
AS time went on the actual provision
of a guard was replaced by the pay
ment Of money for the purpose, and 1t
was this contribution that became
known as dagger money" To this
day the old custom is kept up, and at
the Newcastle assizes the judge re-
ceives from the mayor a coin that is
probably itself a curiosity and also
serves as an interesting souvenir Of
this strange survival.-London Mall.
