Truth s. ranger than Fiction.

Certainly two Of the most singular histo-
- on record, are of the grandmothers of
fpnis Napoleon and the present Sultan Of
furkcy, Abdul Medjd. These two wor-
Sins. the Emperor and the Sultan, are
~,ndsons Of American Creole girls! As
n Gems incredible, there history will not
Sroye unnteresting. We give it on the au-
1ority Of the Pttsburg Post. These two
Ereolc girls, grandmothers, We're Josephine
- Tacher and Miss S., who were
I'm and raised in the lovely West India
Le. of Martinique. They were of French
[gn-ther fathers being planters and near
Seiyhbors. At the death Of her father,
fsephnc went to France, and was married
4 VI. de lIcauhnrnais, by whom she had
IN, son, Eugene, and daughter, liortensc.
6ome time after the death Of Beauharnais,
hspphine was married to Napoleon Bona
rte. and became Empress of France.
er daughter lIortense, was married to Jo-
In B,naparte. The King Of France is her
Il BY that marriage The history of Miss
n is more wildly romantic and singular.
II. laly quilted the Island Of Martinique
~ne time before her friend. The vessel,
02rryine her to France was attacked and ia
IN BY the Algerine Corsairs, and the crew
"a passengers made prisoners. But this
6rsair ship was, in turn, attacked and pill
u u by Tunis pirates, and Miss s. was car
"a by them to Constantinoplc and offered
~ lie as a slave. Her extraordinary beau
Wand accomplishments found her IA pur-
= sar in the Sultan himself, and she soon
+ calne the chief lady OF the Seraglio and
&l,ana OF Turkey. M1hmoud ii was her
~; and the present Sultan, Abdul Medjd,
ietAe son OF Mahmond. What history!
On its parallel be found in any true re-
c&,s' The Sultana died in 1911, the En-
r. Josephine in 1871. Their grandsons
sow rule over two wide and powerful en-
pkcs and are entering, as friends and al
ISs upon one Of the most momentous and
IL aurnarv struggles in which Europe was
e3rr involved. How little could it be CUES
~ BIZ those two lovely Creole girls that
Hi early friendship was - result thus,
II, is said that many 81 the relatives o,
I'LL Sutana c.t the Island Ct Martinique
"a settled at Constantinopla, where their
dkeendauts still reside and ENJOY the favor
ofthe Snl,au. Those whom Josephine ele-
VA 10 pc yer are almost nnmherless, and
e ,as day their intlueace almost guides the
datlny II France.
