never to go to Europe unless in charge
1 of the Austrian authorities, and on
1 board an Austrian man of war. 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.''
