Some CHASTITY Experiments.

Some CHASTITY and, for all that appears
utterly useless experiments, have late
" been made in Paris on the decapit-
ated head of Gagny, the murderer, tif-
teen minutes after its separation from
the trunk. The blood of a dog was in
fused through the carotid artery, and
by Utilization the nerves of the eyelids
became contracted, and movements
were visible in the lower jaw. Cana
hut's (the murderer of Nine. Ballerich)
head was subjected to similar expert
ments.
But the doctors at Troyes, where
Gagny was executed, went still further.
Electric currents were applied to the
nerves of the face, those of the hands,
and other parts of the body, and twenty
minutes after death the heart was made
to beat. This organ was found clogged
with blood, which was attributed to the
stoppage of the circulation through
sheer fear just at the moment before
death, and when the murderer was in
sight of its instrument.

George Miller, convicted at Grand Forks,
Oak, of the murder of Mrs. Smell and son,
was arraigned for sentence, the 24th, be-
fore Judge Mcconnell. In answer to the
usual inquiry as to whether he had any
thing to say why sentence should not be
passed upon him, Miller spoke for about
twenty minutes, explaining the details of
the criWe, alleging that one Rutherford
planned it and in fact committed the MUIR
der, he furnishing Rutherford the axe, and
partially Disgusting him by supplying him
with false mustache, but having no hand
in the actual killing, being engaged at the
time in hitching up the team with which
they fed after the crime was committed.

The Crown Diamnnfls.

Amid the trouble and danger, the
street riots and attempts at assassin
alton which beset with bcwilderment
the early portion of the reign of Louis
Philippe, there was little time for at
tention to be paid to the baubles and
fripperies of royalty. Neither Queen
Marie Amelie nor her daughters ever
thought of wearing any of the state
jewels, and so the crown diamonds
were once more forgotten. But one
day, after the first attempts at rebellion
had been quelled and quiet had been
restored for time, the new superin-
tendent of the Menus Plaisirs applied
for the jewels, which he supposed had
been conveyed away :or safety, but for
which the attested list in his possession
made him responsible. Gen. Athalm
answered the appeal at once. He re-
membered where he had deposited the
chest delivered to him by La Bouillerie
and he went straight to the spot in the
kings study. To his establishment the
chest was gone. No trace of it was to
be found. The CONSERVATION was great
throughout the royal apartments, and
of course all kinds of suspicious were
uttered concerning the persons admit
ted to audience in that royal sanctum.
After some time the duke of Orleans
was called to council. On hearing the
story of the supposed robbery of the
state jewels told in trembling accents
by the state officials. he burst into all
uncomfortable fit oflaughter. 'What!
the claimants de In Couronne in that
old, famshackle leather trunk which
stood beneath the table in the kings
studio? Why, had it taken away my
self. You will find it beneath my desk
where it has been serving me for some
time as a convenient footstool.' Thence
was the old box brought out and soon
committed to proper guardianship, and
there did the crown Jewels remain until
the Empress Eugene utilized for her
own adornment the choicest specimens,
with view of adding to the splendor
and glory of the empire.
What will be their next adventure?
No one believes for moment that they
will be sold, for the great Alexis, the
somnambule, when consulted upon the
subject, declared they will never be dis
persed. Further than this however,
his skill in prophecy cannot lead us.
Is the store of the crown diamonds
to end after all by their being brought
to the auction-room, according to the
decision of the conseil d'etat, or will
that decision be set aside, and are they
destined to be set in another crown by
the exertion of their own mysterious
power? This latter conclusion seems
possible, forsas suddenly as they were
advertised for sale so suddenly, with
the change of ministry, were they with
drawn--1U the Year Round.
