Fat Young Ladies' md Vinegar.

Taken in moderation, says Bldck1CoodS Magazine,
there is doubt that vinegar is beneficial but in ex-
cess it impairs the digestive organs Experiments on
artificial digestion show that if the quantity of acid be
diminished, digestion is retarded if increased beyond
certain point digestion is arrested. There is reason
therefore, in the vulgar notion, unhappily fondy re-
lied on that vinegar helps to keep down any alarming
adposty and that ladies who dread the disappearance
of their graceful outline in of pumpness expand
ing into fat, may arrest dreadful result by liberal
rotations of vinegar; but they only so arrest it at
the far more dreadful expense Of their health The
amount of acid which will keep them thin destroys their
digestive powers Portal gives case which should be
a warning. L" A few years ago. a young lady, in good
circumstances enjoyed good health she was very plump
had good appetite, and complexion blooming with
roses and lilies She began to look upon her pumpness
was afraid of becoming like her. Accordingly she con-
suited woman, who advised her to drink glass of
vinegar daily The young lady followed the advice, and
her plumpness diminished She was delighted with the
success of the experiment. and continued it for more
than month She began to have a cough but it was
dry at its commencement, and considered as slight
cold which would 60 off. Meantime, from dry it be-
came moist, slow fever came on, and difficulty OF
breathing her body became lean and wasted away
night sWeat swelling of the feat and of the legs succeed
ed, and darrhea terminated her lifew Therefore
young ladies, be boldly fat Never pine for graceful
slimness and romantic paor but nature means you
to be ruddy and round, accept it with laughing grace
which will captvate more hearts than all the paleness
a circulating library. At any rate, understand this
that if vinegar will diminish the fat it can only do SO
by affecting your health.

Trouble III the Bonaparse Family.

The Paris correspondent Of a New York paper gives
long Of the quarrel that has sprung up Ill the
family of jerome Bonaparte and in which the American
branch OF his descendants make the principal figure It
appears that Prince Napoleon the Of old Jerome by
his second marriage is intensely jealous of his American
nephew, young Jerome \. Bonaparte who is a Cap
tain in the French Imperial Guard. AT the instigation
of the Prince the Emperor induced to appoint
nilsson to examine into the legitimacy of the Americans
The committee appointed sted Of cabin minister's
bishops judges, &C. all of the 5nest ability and
standing. The evidence went to show that old Jerome
married to Miss Patterson of Baltimore by priest
of the Catholic church, and that marriage dis
solved by Napoleon l. The church declared the mar
ra9e valid, and the first Emperor asserted that it in
valid by the law of France which declared thatno Prince
of the blood imperial should marry without his
sent. Here was direct conflict between Church and
State, the re ous and the civil law. The committee
was in quaLuary and failed to decide Bitter blood
has, of course, arisen between Prince Napoleon and
Captain Bonaparte. The Captain is avorite with
the army and is liked by the Emperor but the latter is
supposed to favor Prince Napoleon from reasons OF
State policy During the recent visit of Mr.. jerome
Bonaparte, of Baltimore and his son, Captain Bona
pare to Paris visit which extended period OF
six months, they had no interview with the Emperor
and their communication with the Palais Royal was
limited to few formal interviews with the Prince Je-
rome and the Princess Mathide The Captain is alb
sent now on six months Through in the United States
his father having preceded him home some weeks The
Captain is very popular in France, and of standing
openly espouse the cause of his family against his rea
tives 1t only depends upon himself to be leading

that we had in Wilmington Christmas Itwa clear,
pleasant, bracng, and yet not chilly, and everybody
seemed to have got into the streets to enjoy it and see
Christmas generally. We saw little or no dissipation
worth speaking o-not before night at any rate, and
we learn that after night things went off with remarka
bic good humor. Some colored folks got in the guard
house. and there were some Others free negroes, that
ought to have got in.
We learn that on Saturday night the theatre was
crowded The performers were, of course in good spr-
its and did themselves justice and everything passed Oft
remarkably well.
