grandson Jerome, who graduated al West PoiR
ami is now with the army in Italy,a Count, witt
suitable pecunaFy endowments for the rank
if they will formally renounce all claims TO tn,
name of Bonaparte."
We gave, lately, short history of thest
Bonapartes now above the political horizon ii
Europe. The Emperor, SON of Hortense Beau
harnais and Louis Bunaparte the mother being
daughter OF Josephine before her marriage to
Napoleon ], and the father being brother TO Ma
poleon |. Gossip gives another parentage 10
| Napoleon III. but never mind that now
jerome Bonapartc the only surviving brother
Of Napoleon ], who marTied Miss Pai terson OF
| Baltimore, in 1908, but whose bride Napoleon
[ would not allow to land in France, and which
| marriage, by order of Napoleon /, was rcpudia-
ted. Jerome basely ot3yed the order of Napo-
leon l, and discarded his wife, who returned to
Baltimore where she now lives, Jerome, mean
while marrying the daughter of the King Of
Wurteniburg. Jerome the uncle of the present
Emperor is now in Paris assisting Empress
Eugenie in the management Of the govern
ment.
Prince Napoleon, now making his way with
the French troops into Venice to fall upon the
Austrian rear, is the son of jerome by his last
w;f,.
Captain Jerome Bonaparte, who was in one
of the late battles, is an American educated at
West Point, and son of plain Jerome Bonaparte,
now of Baltimore, who is son of Jerome the ell
der by his first wife, Miss Patterson.
The jerome the son and Jerome the grandson
are the ones spoken of by the Posts correspond

went last to France, lady friend in Baltimore
devoted a portion of charming letter to the
famous Mad. Bonaparte as the Bonapartes
still call her, Mad. Patterson. We give it, for
assurcdly our lady friends will enjoy the pic
ture:
=" Among the sights to be seen from my win
dow, is Mad Bonaparte, who still retains the
marks Of beauty in her fair skin and arched
eyebrows. She wears the everlasting ornament
on her forehead that has been there all her life
You should see her on the street with the little
green bag, going to the bank to look after her
money. She has peculiar way Of catching up
her dress, which in summer is usually brown
bercge over white y thereby discovering to the
world pair Of little feet and ankles that has
been her pride, now er1lscd in the ugliest shoes
one could imagine. Her bonnets which she
manufactures herself arc models IN their way.
She usually dons red feathers, but this winter
sihe wears d bonnet without any crown, old fash
ion, sun bonnet shape The front, by some in
gcnous trick, is made to fare considerubfy, and
is filled with the gayest scarlet flowers in great
profusi0n, and for some little distance you see
nothing on the street bat the bonnet. Poor cd
lady. She has not spoken to her s0n for 20
years, and is insultcd should any Of her fellow
boarclcrs mention his name. But the grandson
who is now home on an a visit. and is splen-
did looking fellow she is delighted to talk of
and one makes friends with her at once, but woe
to the un;niated stranger that speaks o" The son

hut as legitimacy never entered into the account
of French r"sa ty, honest blood is of no more

f-ssing to icgitimacy, we fancy the arrange

hon .stIy married to Jerome Bohapartc her be

acts that viii ever rise up to curse the name
and fame Of Napoleon I.
The romance attached TO The marriage of Je
rome Bonaparte to Miss Patterson would make

She was ambitious, and Napoleon ] filed the

IN haste to repent at leisure. Dec. "a, 1903

The marriage contract was drawn up by Alex
