Old French MIannfcr!pt Reveals the Identity of a Girl. A MYSTERY CLEARED She Was the Daughter of the Duke of Orleas and Sent to Ohio Decause ar AMether's Lack of Royal Bleeod in Her Veins. Cnadmati. Dec. 25.-A special to the Enquirer froma Gallopolis, 0., says the discovery of manuscript in a secret drawer of an old clock in that etty re 'veals the secret of the Frenoh court and shows the reason for the visit to that oity in 1789 of the duke of Or loans, afterward Lous Philippe of France. The discovery was made by Claude M. Wall, who found in a storage room an old French clock that had been cast aside for many years. Taking it apart - he found a secret drawer in which he discovered an old parchment manu script in French, wrapped in a por tion of a flannel skirt of a child, rich iy embroidered and bearing a mono gram. A ploco of flne lace was also with the manuscript. Upon translation the manuscript purported to he a "true history of Adele de Alonquon." It was signed by Louis do Alonquon, and dated October 15, 1789. It was addressed to Adele, apparently to be given her when she grew to maturlty. The substance of it was that Adele was the daughter of the duke of Or leans, the mother dying at the child's birth, ignorant of the rank of the fa ther. The writer was then placed in charge of the child and sent with it to Galliopolis, where there was a French colony. The story ran that he became her preceptor and finally, after the visit of the duke of Orleans to Gal lipolis it was determined to send Adele to a Catholic school in France. Adele's mother not beirng of the royal blood, the marriage was kept a secret. Mr. Wall has sent the papers to the French ambassador at Washington. Some portions of the papers giving names and lineage have not been made publfc. VAST IMPROVEMENTS. Southern Pacific (ionmtpny ill Bnuild Eighteen "r I.!nktt San Franclsco, Dec. 2o.-J. K.
