THE GROWN DIAMONDS.
What Will BE the Final Fate OF
Those OF Francel

Amid the trouble and danger, the street
riots and attempts at assassination which
beset with bewilderment the early portion
of the reign of Louis Philippe, there was
little time for attention to be paid to the
baubleS and fripperieS of royalty. Neither
Queen Marie Ameiie nor her daughters ever
thought of wearing any OF the state jewels,
and 50 the crown diamonds were once more
forgotten. But one day. after the first at
temptS at rebellion had been quelled and
quiet had been restored for time, the new
superintendent of the Menus PlaiSirs ap-
piled for the jewels, which he supposed
had been conveyed away for safety, but for
which the atteSted list i'm his possession
made him responsible. Gen. Athalin an

TO him by La BOUilleTie and he went straight
to the spot in the kings study. To his as
constituent the chest was gone. No trace
of il was TO be found. The CONSERVATION
was great throughout the royal apartments,
and of course all kinds of suspicion wese
uttered concerning the persons admitted to
audience in that royal sanctum. After
some little time the duke OF Orleans was
called to council. On hearing the story of
the state jewels, told as it was in trembling

main until the Empress Eugene utilized for
her own adOrnment the choicest specimens,
with view of adding TO the splendOr and
glory of the empress.

THE LUNATIC ASYLUM.

FFom the report of the Superintend-
cnt of the Asylum, and from the Cover
nor's Message, we infer that the act reg
ulating the admission Of patients to
the Lunatic Asylum, introduced at the
last session by Senator Maxwell, has
worked we'll. The Superintendent
says: ''For the last seven years there
has been An annual increase of about
forty" This year it appears from the
same source, that, the admissions were
seventy-sevcr less than last year,
and further that, this was undoubtedly
the result Of the act of the last General
Assembly, which requires a more care
full examination for commitment" The
Governor says: Such a reduction has
never occurred before in the history of
the institution - ut is attributable in a
great measure to the act passed at the
last session Of the General Assembly,
requiring a more rigid examination for
commitment"

PROHIBITION,

We are sorry to sec this question be-
ing forced into the politics of the conn-
try. 1t is and ought to be a local meas
ure. We have plenty Of legislation on
this subject. We are sure if the people
thought of it they would agree with us.
AS the law now stands no liquor can be
~sold..outside Of Incorporated towns and
villages. Then under the local option
law if any incorporated town or village
desires to prohibit the sale of liquor,
upon the petition Of a certain number
Of its citizens, an election is ordered up
on the question whether or not that
town shall allow the sale Of liquor.
Now this is enough law upon the subject.
Legislation does not often help morals.
A healthy moral sentiment is what is
wanted. We fear this question may en-
cite too much bitterness and division il
it is undertaken to make it too general.
1t is we'll enough for the friends of pro-
hibition to have a trial Of it if they de-
sire. 1t is their right. And if the plan
succeeds, why it Is we'll. But the bet
ter plan is to accomplish their purpose
under the existing law.

MIR. President: The adoption of this ~rcsolu-
non would cause such a radical change, in
the administration Of our county govern
%inents, that fear the Senate is not prepared
to adopt It,. Under our present system, our
cohnties, virtually have three rulers or gov
errors, who administer at will, at pleasure, or
not at all without adequate remuneration and
honor and without proper responsibility. The
OBJECT OF this resolution is to remedy this
veil to reduce three administrators or commits
sloners to one, to attach TO the Office, the hon
or which is Importance demands, to give to
the commissioners a salary commensurate with
his duties, and to require a bond sufficiently
large, to guarantee a safe, wise, judicious and
economical administration
First let Us impure if there is a necessity
