A further ' condition was that Colonel was never to accept ciwvil oflico in this country. ' "Theso conditions wore faithfully ob served up to the time of Colonel Rion's last fatal illness. Ho is not known to have confided the story of his birth to t any wio except his eldest daughter. He is sailto have told her the story two or three years ago, when she was about to sail for Europe. It is said that one of l her purposes in gotg to Europe was to examino into the death of tho Dauphin and to obtain such knowledge in regard to it as was possible from tradition and otherwise. "It is also said that when Colonel iWion referred to the subject just before his death he observed in the counten nuces of those who were gathered about hun that they supposed his mind to be t wandering, and that ho said to them: t 'You think that my mind is wandering, - but 1 am in possession of all my reason ing faculties.' lie then asked Dr. r lanahan to put him to some test in I order to demonstrate the fact that he t was perfectly rational. lie said (tapping l his breast) 'I have the proofs hero of the > truth of what 1 say.' '"Colonel ltion is known to have been in possession of a very valuable gold sull'-box, set with diamonds, upon the top of which there is a monogram of the Orleans Family wrought in diamonds. This snuhl-box, it is said, had never been seen by any member of his family until his death, but he is known to have ox hibitedl it once, in 18>, to an intimate personal and professional friend, under injunctions of secrecy, which have been removed by his death. lie gave no in tination to his friend of the history connhected with the possessiou of this box, except to say that Mr. Clemson, tho son-in-law of John C. Calhoun, Ibroughit it to him from France, when he iM r. - Clemsen) was secretary of the Amnerican ligation in Paris. The snuft box has beei valued by a jeweller, since Colonel liioi's death, at $3,000, and is of inost costly and extiisite workman shtii. 'Colonel liin went to Canada some years ago and told a frind when he had returnet that he had seen in the old Cathedral at Montreal the r.cord of his baptismu. 'It is understood that Colonel Rion's fa1ily are now preparing for liblication a full statement of the facts in the case and that there is much evidence to sus tain the confession made by him just before his death. Certainly no one who knew lin wul doubt for a moment the truth of any statement that ho made wh'n clothed in his right mind, for he was the very soul of honor.''
