by toward the counterfeits.
'Certainly; they are only paste,
said Mr. Brewster, as he laid the
bogus jewels back into their downy
nest.
Smith took the box, rose, but.
he toned his coat and turned to leave,
when he suddenly 'asked as he
looked over his shoulder.
'Does your daughter know of the
existence of these 'bogus jewels!'"
'She does.'

asked Mr. Smith.
'I have.'
'Is he a member of the firm?'
'No, sir.'

Jack Smith was one of the best
men or the.force. He was sharp,
canning, and knew not the meaning
of the word fear. As he wended
his way from Harold Brewster's
office he began to cogitate, to won,

nated his mind. He stepped in,
bt and showing the 'bogus' diamonds
to the proprietor, asked him one
question. When Jack Smith emerg.
ed from the door a strange look was
upon his face, and he hugged the
box more closely to his breast as
he. threaded the great Broadway
throng.
Fred Brewster as one pf thpsf
gaf, pe$ted 'ca ipg pf society, of
Wich 1Tew Y {k h4g a sgfeit. He
re tQiled not, neither did he spin, yet
4e one of the fashionable sct in
s, which he moved had finer raiment
?' nor spent money more lavishly.
n- Perhaps if Fred had had some aim
p- in life his lot would not have been
so vapid as it is. But, as the ease
a.. now stands; dip yoing .0
it the dogs. He kngws it anfig
soonn -jt I gngw it; but he
#ed as little for his mistaken
career as they did. He was petted
n by his mother and sister, and his
it father condold his many foibles by
- saying:
a lpet. the bgy ? hia wild eats;
it he'll settle down soon enough.'
The young man gambled; was a
ie frequenter of sporting circles of
every description, and did not
disdain to bet hundreds of dollars
i- on a brutal prize-ring affair. Upon
the evening follow:ng the inte.rview
i, between Harold Brewster and the
e detective, while Fred was inoe
of the noted gag~b~ resag'tsqn
.---s$reet he ftqud that a plainly
i- dresge) man eof widdle age was
wa$ching him chin..ly,
, It troubled him exceedingly, and
u mnade.him careless in his play. The
e consequence was when he rose from
is the game he found that he had lost
c- five hundred dollars. He went to
r, the bar and called for brandy. Af
e ter drinking it he took his depar
r- ture. The middle-aged mnan yhp
hdyathed hipi ep cliedy was a.t
p- $0 here, stranger,' said Fred,
e, turning to the other when the pair
i. had reached thc walk, 'am I such
t- an object of curiosity that you
r, must keep your eyes upon me?'
e '.3e calm, Mr. Fred Brewster. I
i- arrest you in the name of the law,'
a said Jack Smith; for he it was in
r- one of many disguises.
'Arrest me ? For what ?' gasped
f the young man, starting gaek."**
, The yug man now saw that it
,' would be utterly out of the question
.to offer resistance, and so he accom
panied'the ogicer. The pair passed
d into EBrdway, anjd after reaching
,e guid pasaing throngh Bond street,
-went down tl:e Bcwery..
~e A strange expression of fear came
e upon Fred Brai'sters face when the
;; officer told him to step into a pawn
n shop with him near Canal street
Le crossing.~
y 'The ticket, please,' said Smith.
i- Fred trembled in every limb; his
face -was the pict ure of abject des
p pair. . -
h 'What=what do you-mean ?' he
s;. ejaculated.
t- 'The pawn-ticket for the dia
e, monds,' whispered the detective.
c. Fred took his pocketbook out,
and, extracting the slip of paper
e from its contents, passed it to
te Smith.
'Now I'll take that lot of dia
?' monde in the whitd 1%Q plesse,'
i;qid Siih, finding the lticket to
nx the ran behind the counter.
e .'Yes, but I must have my money.
STwenty-five dollars, and five for the
use of the'-money,' returned the
ax man.
Smith handed him the required
s- amontid took the .diamonds.
.-Aftert the pair had reached the
t; street,- the detective said to the
thamadi$bv.astonished vane man.
'Now, my young man let me giv
you a piece of advice; mend yot
ways; change your manner of lii
ing, and be a man for yot
mother's sake.'
'And-am I-at liberty?' aske
Fred, as the other turned to leave
'You are; go and do the righ
thing hereafter. But recollect there'
one man who knows of your crimei
and will not hesitate to use this it
cident against you if you eve
give him occasion.'
The next day, while Harol<
T Brewster was seated in his office
.J he was startled by the appearanc
of Smith, the detective.
'Ah, Smith, I see by your fac
that you have succeeded.
'I have; there are your diamonds
said Smith, laying the two boxe
upon the table.
'I am so happy ! Are they no
beauties ?' asked -Mr. Rrewstei
lifting the. jewels from the whit
box.
'They are fair,' responded Sinith
smiling.
'Fair ! What do you mean
They are wprth twenty thousgni
dollars. Cgmpare them with these
said Brewstef, takipg the jewel
from the blue box,
'Suppose you tell me which ar
the originals, the genuine ones
said Smith. Mr. Brewster lookec
up quickly and asked:
'What do you mean ?'
'Simply this. Mr, Brewster.-..th
real diamonds have not been stolei
at all.
'Eh ?--not stolen ! I-bless m'
soul ! what-do you mean, man?
'It is the truth, Mr. Brewster
The boxes must have got changed
or rather the contents. You gav
me the real diamonds, and I hav
recovered the bogus ones.'
The listener was so thoroughl;
astonished. that he could not speal
at first. Finally he asked, '.Hoq
did you learn of it ?
Smith then told the astquishe<
merchaot hgs he had stepped intt
a jewelry store and asked the prc
piietor to examine the jewels an<
tell him their value. He also tol<
Mr. Brewster how he had found th
paste gema in a Bowery pawn
shop.
'And did you not capture th
thief ?' asked Brewster.
'Don't press that part of the ease

After receiving remuneration fo
his services the detective took hi
departure.

r THE VOLUNTEER COUNSE[
OR THE POWER OF ELOQUENCE.
t.
s John Taylor was licensed, whei
, a youth of twenty-one, to practice
at the bar. He was poor, but wel
r educated, and possessed extraor
dinary genius. He married a beauty
I who afterward deserted him fo
, another.
e On the 9th of April, 1840, th<
court house in Clarksville, Texas
e was crowded to overflowing. Ar
exciting case was to be tried. Gen
eral Hopkins, a wealthy planter
s had offered a gross insult to Mary
Ellison, the young and beautifu
t wife of the overseer. The husbani
, had threatened to chastise him fot
the outrage, when Hopkins went t<
Ellison's house and shot him in hii
own door. The murderer was ar
rested and bailed to answer the
charge, This occurrence prodncei
l a great excitement, and Hopkins
in order to turn the tide of popular
3 indignation, had circulated reports
against her character, and she had
sued him for slander. Both suits
were pending, for murder and
I slander.
The interest became deeper when
it was. known -that Ashley and
Pike, of Arkansas, and S. S. Pren
tiss, of New Orleans, by enormous
fees, had been retained to defend
Hopkins.
Hopkins was acquitted. Th<
Texas lawyers were overwhelmed
by their opponents. It was a fighi
a of dwarfs against giants.
T The slander suit was the 9th, and
the throng of spectators great in
r number as excitement; public opin
c ion was setting in for Hopkins; his
p money had procured witnesses wh<
served powerful advocates. When
I the slander case was called, Mary
Ellison was left without an attor
- ney-all had withdrawn.
I "Have you no counsel ?" in
I quired Judge Mills, kindly, looking
at the plaintiff.
"No, sir; they have all deserted
me, and I am too poor to emploj
any mpre,' replied the beautifu
MAVy, bursting into tears.
,'-In such a case, will not som
meniber of the^ - r yolunler ?
said the judge, glancing around the
rbar. '
a The thirty lawyer$ were silent.
"I wil, your honor," said a voice
I from the thickest part of the crowd
- behind the bar,
At the sound of that voice many
started-it was so unearthly, sweet
and mournful.
The first sensation was changed
into laughter, when a tall, gaunt
spectral ggige elbowed his way
through the crowd, and placed him.
aelf withinx the bar, H*is clothe
looked so shabby, that the Court
hesitated to let the case proceed un.
der his management.
"Has your name been entered on
the roll of the State ?" demanded
the judge.
"It is immaterial," answered the
stranger, his thin, bloodless lips
curling up with a fiendish sneer.
"Here is my license from the high.
est tribunal in America !" and he
banded the judge a broad parch.
ipent. The trial went on.
He suffered the witnesses to tell
their own story, and he allowed the
defense to lead off, Ashley spoke
first, followed by Pike and Prentiss.
The latter brought the honse down
with a cheer, in which the jury join.

inan with hslong, bony finger-pro
ceeded to tear to pieces the argu.
meuts of Ashley, which melted
away at his touch like frost before
a sunbeam; every onie looked su
prised, A~non be came to the daz
-zling wit of the poet-lawyer, Pike,
Then the curl of his lips grew~
sharper, his smooth face began to
kindle up, and his eyes to open,
dim and dreary no longer; but vivid
as lightning, red as fire-globes, as
glaring as meteors. The whole
soul was in the eye, the full heart
streamed out of his face. Then,
without bestowing an allusion te
Prentiss, he turned ghs around on
the peijured witnesses of Hopkins,
tore their testimony into shreds,
and hurled into their faces such
terrible invectives that all trembled
like aspens, and two of them fled
from the court house. The excite.
ment of the crowd was becoming
tremendous. Their united life agid
soul seemed to hang on the burning
tongue Qf $h'e s$rEnger; he inspised
theng with the power of his mualig
nant passions; he seemed to have
stolen Nature's long-hidden secret
of attraction. But his greatest
triumph was, to come. His eyes be
gan to glance at the assassin, Hop.
kins, as his lean, taper fingers as
Isumed the same direction. He
Ihemmed the wretch with a wall ol
strong evidence and impregnable
argument cutting of all hopes of
escape. He dug beneath the mur
derer's feet ditches of dilemma, and
held the slanderer up -to the score
and contempt of the populace
- Having' thus girt him about with a
circle of fire, he stripped himself
for the massacre.
Oh ! then it was a vision both
glorious and dreadful to behold
the orator. His actions became as
impetuous as the actions of the oak
in a hurricaae. His voice became a
trumpet, filled with wild whirlpools,
deafening the ear with crashes
of power, and yet intermingled
- all the while with a sweet under
song of the softest cadence. His
forehead glowed like a heated fur
nace, his countenance was haggard,
like tiat of a maniac, and ever and
aron he flung his long bony arms
on high, as if grasping after thun
derbolts.
He drew a picture of murder in
such appalling colors, that in com
parison hell itself might be con
sidered beautiful; he painted the
slanderer so black that the sun
seemed dark at noonday, when
shining on such an accursed mon
ster. Then, fixing both portraits
on the shrinking Hopkins. he fast
ened them there forever. The agi
tation of the audience nearly,
amounted to madness. All at once
the speaker descended from the
perilous height. His voice wailed
out for the murdered and living
the beautiful Mary, more beautiful
every moment, as her tears flowed
.faster-till men wept and sobbed
like little children.
He closed by a strange exhorta
tion to the jury, and through them
to the bystanders;' he advised the
panel, after they should bring in a
verdict for the plainiff, not to offer
violence to the defendant, however
richly he might deserve it; in other
words, "not to lynch the villain, but
to leave punishment with God I"
Tliis was the most artful trick of
all, and best calculated to insure
vengeance.
- The 'jury returned a verdict of
fifty thousand dollars; and the night
afterward Hopkin's 'was taken out
of his bed by lynchers, and beaten
almost to death. As the court ad
journed, the stranger said: "Jdhn
Taylor will preach - here this even
ing at early candle-light." He did
preach, and the house was crowded.

PROPORTIONS IN .BRAN
FIGURES.
Clara Belle, the New York fash
ion correspondent, inquired of an
artist concerning the proportions of
hunan figures, and received the re
ply:
"In well proportioned figures it
is usual to find the lngth -of the
body fromi head to foot to be about
eight times the length of the face.
The length of the hand bears a cer
tain proportion to the forearm, and
this to the arm from the elbow to
the shoulder. The foot is in length
ahorter than the leg from the ankle
to the knee-joint, and this is shorter
than the leg from the' knee to the
hip. An idea of the proportion
which the limbs bear to each other
may be inferred from the following.

ure measuring five feet ten inches
from head to foot; from ground to
ankle, two ' inches and seven
eighths; from ankle to knee, eigh
teen inches; from knee to hip, nine
teen and two eighths; fr'om hip to
collar-bone, sixteen and aix-eighths;
from collar.bone to top of head,
thirteen and one-eighth; length of
foot, from heel to toe, ten and five
eighths; hand, lingerend to wrist
joint, eight and three-eighths; wrist
joint to elbow-joint, ten inches; el
bow to 'shoql4ers, twelve inches."
Taking a long stick, or alpen
stock, that some pedestrian had
abandoned in a corner of the yard,
the artist said: "If you wish to
test your own symmetry here's a.
good method. Cut this stick ex
actly your own length. Then mark
it off into twenty-four equal parts.
Number one should mark about the
ankle-joint from the bottom of your
foot; number seven the knee, thir
teen the hip, twenty the shoulder
and twenty-four the top of the head.
The length of your foot should be
some where between three and fonr
parts, from .your middle finger's
end to wrist-joint three parts, to
elbow six and one-half, and to
shoulder ten. The female head is
smaller than the male head."
"Because it holds less?"
"I didn't say that. Only, to
measure the body by lengths of the
head is a method, though common,
by no means infallable. The body
is longer in the child than ini the
adult figure, to which alone the fore
going measurements apply. The
growth is greater in the limbs dur
ing youth until womanhood. There
can be no settled or fixed measure
ments employed to decide . what
should be the width. or circum
ference of the chest compared with
the height of.the figure or of the
limbs."
Just so long as woman retains
her maiden. name,- her maiden aim
is.tohange it.
