A correspondent tells at greater length than we have space for the story of an at, tempted fraud which was exposed by chem- istry. An emery'wheel guaranteed to stand 600 revolutions was run at the speed of 1,000 revolutions, and burst, ' doing a large amount of damage. A suit to recover was instituted, baseman a letter written by the of the wheel was rated at 1,600 revolutions. . While in the office of the prosecutor, en.

Address, deavoring to effect a settlement, the defend. ant observed that a certain make of ink was used, and he learned by a casual, inquiry that the same ink was used exclusively by the prosecutor. The defendant had for several years used another ink. Taking samples of the two inks to a chemist, he was able, after‘nnalysis, to Secure a solvent for the one which would not affect the other. The case'came to trial. Evidence was taken as to the kind of ink each party employed. Then the chemist was called, Rev.

A singular and beautiful freak of nature is shown in a marble mantel at the Cincin. nati Exhibition. In one of the onyx piles- ters are seen the outlines of a woman’s form producedages ago,when the marble first as- sumed its growth and consistence. The ' portrait is clearly defined and traced in the native graining of the stone. Its discovery was the result of an accident. One of the workmen turned the pilaster upside down, and the strange'beauty of the features of the, face at once attracted his attention. - His employers were summoned. and the pilaster reversed is now the chief ornaw ment of the mantel. The attitude. with the arms stretched above the head, closely resembles that of the Greek carya. tides, which; adorned so many of the old classicrtemples. The figure is graceful and delicate, with limbs of, the most exquisite contour. W ._——— As a corrective for the stride-and-bop. gait, the painter Ingres recommended to an English lady whom he met at Compiegne a long walk daily with a pitcher of water on her head. This exercise gives a true poise to the whole figure, necessitates an upright carriage of the head, and a 'smooth, firm step. M. Ingres’ hint is now being acted upon by the pupils of an eminent French actor, who prepares young girls for the stage. ~ , , ———oo-.O.-OO-—"- The humble man, though surrounded with the seam and: reproach of the world, is still in peace, for the stability of his pesos rest- e'th not upon the world, has anon God. ne borhood. .A 1 t0 mies‘mnfn'cm' m s.
