cupalow of de temple Of fame. An yet
what a holler mockery fame am. Oar

same as common man. He had his
blue days same as de poorest white. DE

A BRILLIANT DIAMOND RoBnER.-
One of the cleycrcst diamond robbcrics of
modern times is reported in tone of odd
complaceney by the leading Journals OF
ST. Petersburg. About fortnight ago
a handsome equipage drew up a, the door
of the first jeweller in the Russian capt.
tai. Alighting from the carriage. an
elegantly dressed and remarkably pretty
Young lady entered the shop and requested
that some parures of brliiants might be
shown 20 her. Several costly sets were
submitted for inspection. and after some
hesitation she selected RIVERS and pend
ants valued at 10, 900 rublcs, and, stating
tina, she was the wife Of an eminent mad
doctor whose name is household word
in ST. Petersburg, requested the proprle-
tor of the establishment 10 accompany
her home with the jewels, in order to
finally settle with her husband abou, their
price. The jeweller packed up his d'a-
monds and 90. into the carriage with his
fair customer. Presently they arrived at
large house, and were received at the
porte cochcre by Suisse in splendid iiv-
cry, who conducted them to a richly fur
nished drawing room, in which the lady
begged her companion to take seat, and
jewel case in hand, proceeded to summon
.'her husband" Entering the doctors
consultation room in an apparent state OF
uncomfortable agitation. she informed the
latter that she had brought her uniortu-
nate spouse TO visit him, in the hope that
he would undertake TO cure him OF the
strange monomania under which he had
labored for some time past. my afflicted

to leave him in your care. Her ingeni-
Gus device was crowned with complete
success. She drove off with the dia-
monds; an interview between the doctor
and the jeweller fully confirmed her state
ment with regard 10 the la;ters alleged
monomania, and resulted in his being
placed under bodily restraint, from which
he was only rescued three days later by
one of his partners. who succeeded, with
the assistance of the police, in tracking
him to DR.. V-f's renowned private
lunatic asylum. No trace has yet been
discovered of the gifted lady who accom-
plished this, in every sense of the word,

BOB INGERsOLL AS AJURY LAW
YER.

On one occasion. years ago. he was en-
gagged in Illinois as counsel for farmer
who had quanelled with neighbor and
shot him dead. The evidence was plain
and direct on that point, though there
was nothing to show that the prisoner had
not believed that he was acting in self
defence. When lngersoll was addressing
the jury, he drew pathetic picture OF the
prisoners wife and children--he had de-
clined to allow them to be present at the
trial. rs less sagacious advocate might
have done--waiting in eager expectation
for his return, confident that he would be
acquitted of crime which he would not
and could not have committed except to
save his own life, so dear to his family, so
necessary to their protection and support.

barrister, standing at the door of her
home, the sunlight on her hair, straining
her eyes after the figure Of the man dear

about their lips. gazing down the road,
watching for their beloved, innocent faith

and kiss away his sadness-the shadow OF
his unfortunate deed--while they cry,

Supplemented farmer, the tears on his
sun burned cheeks-was so carried away
that, thinking the question addressed per-
sonally to him and demanding answer. ex-
claimed in choking voice. "Yes, Bob,
we'll let him go home" Ingersoll had not
half completed his argument, but he knew
that that was the supreme moment, and
sat down The prosecuting attorney made
long speech in reply. but it was, OF
course, entirely vain. The jury. after be-
ing out five minutes, returned unani-
NOUS verdict for acquittal.
