A Diamond Story.

An old man, we'll known in Brussels.
who would appear every afternoon with
mathematical regularity in the Saint Hu.
bert arcade, where he would walk for ex.
acily one hour, from four to five O'Clock,
died recently in that city. The Oldest
dwellers in that part Of Brussels remember
TO have seen him take his daily promenade
for many years buck without ever convers.
ing with any one. Among his papers .
will was found. IN which he asked to be
buried in neighbor,ng cemetery BY his
wife's side, and requested that a person
who now fills an exalted position in 81.
Petersburg might be informed of his
death. 1t appears that when young Ia
had been employed in a diamond -rrodu-
cirg district of Asia Ono day he found
an enormous diamond and determined 10
secure il for himself The difficulty was
how to escape the lynx-cyed agents. He
made deep wound In the calf Of his leg
in which he concealed the diamond. He
then pretended that he had been wounded.
and his leg was bound up and he was
authorized to leave the district. He sue.
ceeded in csc ping to Russia, where he
sold the gem for large sum. 1t is now
one Uf the crown diamonds of Russia.
Having thus acquired wealth, our hero
travelled al over the world. In England
he married young lady. who died in
BRUSSELS some years ago. After her death
he did not wish to leave tho city where she
was buried.

Tho Public Printing.

The following article c0ndemlng
the infamous Printing law Of this
State is from the St. James Senti-
mel, edited by G. e. Bovee, Repub-
lican ex-Secretary of State under
Gov. Warmoth ::
"A late number of the Bossier Ban
ner contains pretty severe article
against the printing law in force in
this State. This law gives the Gov
ernor, Lieutenant Governor and the
Speaker Of the House of Represen-
tatives the authority to designate
official journals in the several par
isbes of the State, to do the Judicial
and parochial printing and adver-
tisiDg, and fixes the rate of compen.
sation for the same.
. This law was passed by the legisla-
ture of 1868, at a time when there
was scarcely Republican paper in
the Safe, outside Of the city Of New
Orleans, and was intended to aid
and encourage the establishment
and growth ofsuch journals. That
this law has advanced the interests
of the republican party in Louisiana,
we very much doubt. The class of
of journals it brought into existence
we're, as general thing, first class
frauds, without circulation or influ-
ence, and printing only for the pur.
pose of making as much money as
the law would allow, with the least
possible outlay ofcapital and brains.
Nevertheless, there are some excel
lent republican newspapers publish.
ed in Louisiana, which owe their
origin and continued existence to
this same law, and have every ap-
pearance of being we'll patronised
and sustained by the communities
in which they are published. But
for all this we doubt very much il
one Of them would survive single
year, if deprived Of the official pat.
ronage upon which they mainly sub
sist. We speak plainly upon this
subject. We have experienced some
Of the benefits and have had
| frequent occasion to notice the
| abuses of this law.
j We believe it to be unjust 10 com
pei any community to have their ju
dicial and parochial advertisements
published in such paper as may b
selected by officers residing at tht
seat of the government. The pub
lie printing should be open to com
3 petetion and awarded to the loves
responsible bidder, or given to th'
, parish paper having the largest cir
culation in the locality in which !
is published.
