The trial at the magistrate's office was brief— the evidence conclusive. Of course, the girl was guilty.

And, to elineh the evidence, the officers sent in persuit of her, iound her larking round' a jewelry store, waiting to sell the diamond, of course. There was no mistake about the matter!

The Tallow Candle Question Settled.—The assertion that a tallow candle shot from a gun* will pass through a board appears to have been at last settled by the experiment: In England, a party of riflemen and other gentlemen, for the purpose of deciding a bet on the subject, adjourned to the butts of the Korth Middlesex Rifles, at Child's hill, where a board of the thickness described having been fixed in upright position, a common half-penny dip was fired at it from a fowling pieee, from a distance of about fi fteca paces, The candle struck the board with its full length, and passed through, leaving a hole exactly the shape of the eandle- The remain* of the eandle were louad scattered in pieces resembling snow-flakes on the high mound of earth in rear of thb board. A second candle, when fired from the fowling-piece passed through the board, making a circular hole, which was however, very jagged round the edges. A third candle carried awaf a large piece of the board nine inches long and three inches broad, breaking awsy the boundary on one side of the hole made by the first shot. A candle fired from a rifle tailed to pAs through tho board, the grooves of the rifle stripping the tallow from the wick as it passed out. The smooth bore fowling piece was loaded each time with two and a half drachms of powder, a small pieee of paper as a wad, and a common tallow dip, whioh had not been specially prepared in any manner.

He it »native of that city, and lived there for many years, having shown his genius by making tome excellent wax figures for Darfeoil's Museum, a well known plane of amusement in the West at that time. Among other figures he made one of Alexander Draket a popular comedian in that section thirty years ago. Some of Powers' friends were so much pleased with bis work that they invited the Queen City journalists to look at it, among them one notorieat for his hypercriticism and belioved to be Rome thing of a pretender withal. The particular erilie came in the evening, when the muse am was dimly lighted, and took "his position before the glass case. After gazing at the jigTire very intently for fire minutes, he said to Powers, who was at his elbow. "There's tome good poiats about this, Hiram, bat it has some very extraordinary defects. The nose is too long entirely: and the month has a queer twist; one arm is longer than the other; the position too, is very unnatural; no man could stand in that way if he tried; it would be utterly impossible. I don't see, Hiram, how you could have made such a blunder." Powers laughed, and inquired of the figure: "What do you think about it, Drake?" The figure immediately stepped out of the case,jand, bursting into a loud laugh, said. "I think the position pretty natural." The critic did not hear the lastof the jest to his dying day, and nevor afterward spoke to the facetious Bculplor.
