Curious will of a Cook.

-~N~- ~N-S'So-l
 A peculiar story about an eccentric chef has been going the round of the French papers. Felix Duryos, for some years cook in the kitchen of Louis Philippe, died recent ly in Paris. During his life time he had amassed a pretty considerable fortune, no less than 250,000f. This sum he left to his two nephews, but on one condition They were to place on his tombstone, instead of the highfiown inscription extolling the many virtues of the deceased, brass frame, in which one of his famous cookery receipts, written in large characters, was daily to be inserted. 'Thus," as the benevolent old man says in his will, ''people desirous of in strueting themselves will be able by paying a visit to the cemetery to gain some most useful information. If the nephews did not follow out these instructions the money was to go to the Assistance Publique" Un- fortunately for them, the Epitaph commis- sion will not allow the dying wish of the veteran chef to be executed. So the nephews are going to law It will be hard if this tes- tamentary disposition is set aside when so many more foolish and less we'll meaning ones are executed every day.

Italians in California. EC.-

The Italian population of California has grown to be very important both as to mum bers and as to wealth and intelligence There are now 7,2OO Italians in San Fran cisco In other parts of the State there are 2S,000 and in other States and territories g. 800. Altogether there are 45,00O on the Pa cifc coast. From 1849 to 1862 the immigra- tion was composed almost entirely of single men, but since the latter date families have predominated. Nearly all come directly from Italy, the coast furnishing fishermen and the rural districts farm gardeners and farmers. They were born among the vine yards, olive and orange groves. They are, therefore, experienced and practical orchard ists.

STATE REFORM SCH0OL.


 The State Reform school appears to be conducted in such a manner as to give gene ral satisfaction to those best acquainted with it's management.
 The number of boys committed to it's care increases from year to year. The number who are allowed, on account of meritorious conduct to leave the institution is also annu- ally increasing, and has exceeded two hun dred during the last year. Unfortunately, these boys after leaving the school generally return to their homes, there to live in the same society and surrounded by the same temptations to idleness and mischief as be- fore. Consequently some of them go back to their old practices and are sent again to the school, while others lead irregular lives and grow up without the careful supervision of responsb ble guardianship. As they con tinue to be the wards of the State until they become of age it is important, both to them selves and to the State, that they should be required, after leaving the school, to follow some regular employment, under proper oversight and control, until they become ia miliar with some industry that will repare them for useful citizenship. In order to ac- conDlish this end legislation seems to be needed.

The last General Assembly appointed "a commission to take into consideration and examine all matters relating to the building of new State prison to provide for enlargement or improvement" of the present one.
 The commissioners will recommend the State to retain the land now occupied at , Tethersfeld, to acquire Q small piece of ground adjacent thereto and to build a new prison on the tract of land thus enlarged.
 You will probably be convinced that the teasons of the commissioners for this reconl- nendation, and for some other recommends lions which are to be made in their report are conclusive.
 At. all events it seems evident that some thing must be done, and done soon, to rene- ly the growing evils which necessarily result from the inadequacy of the present prison to meet the purposes for which it was designed.
 The numerous institutions under the care # the State entail upon it heavy burdens. A disposition on our part to shrink from making, at present, any addition to those burdens is natural and commendable. But if you find that the construction of new prison las become a matter of substantial necessity. you will know how to face the emergency and dispose of it in a proper manner.

The number of patients in the Connecti- mt Hospital for the Insane on the Both of November, 1883, was eight hundred and six ". During the year, by the admission of lwo hundred and forty-three new patients, Uhe whole number under treatment was elev-
 n hundred and three, of whom one hun 1red and eighty were discharged leaving on the Both of November, 1881, nine hun iired and twenty-three. Although the hospi- tal has been, for want of sufficient accommo- ;2ations, greatly and even dangerously over crowded, the death-rate among its inmates
 as been lower than in former years, and be- Iow the average rate in similar institutions elsewhere. By strict economy the regular revenue has been made sufficient to meet all ordinary expenses, including necessary re- pairs and improvements.
 Under authority given by the General As sembly at it's last session the hospital is now in process of enlargement by the construc tion of an addition which will accommodate one hundred and fifty patients and will prob ably furnish, with the accommodations al ready existing, ample room for all female pa tients for many years. The new building is expected to be ready for use in April next, and its cost will not exceed the sum of sev- nty-five thousand dollars appropriated for it's construction.
 Additional provision for the accommoda- ton of male patients is considered necessary.

Visit of Christian Workers.

A delegation of about two hundred
Christian workers, mostly ladies composed
Of Women's Christian Temperance Union
and Temperance Alliance of the district,
called at the White House on the 10Th.
Miss Cleveland received them in the Blue
Parlor. The call was not for the purpose
of making any requests regarding temper
ance matters, but Miss La Fetra, who ad-
dressed Miss Cleveland in behalf of the
visitors, stated that they simply desired to
pay THAR respects and to express their con.
fidcnce in her Christian character and as
mistress Of The White House she would
perform her duty. A small plush album
was presented Miss Cleveland, in which
the sentiments of the visitors were in.
scribed. Miss Cleveland, il reply, ex-
pressed her appreciation o. the delicate
manner in which the visit was made, and
her pleasure at meeting the visitors. The
members of the delegation then passed
into the East Room, where they were in
troduced to the President.
