THE Rf1NApAnrRs..

Our readers lave noticed that the
stirring events ii Europe are bringing
to the surface anl into notoriety, vari-
Gus members Of the Bonaparte family.
In the accounts lately received, it has
been mentioned that Jerome Bonaparte
is TO remain in France with the En-
press Eugene and her young son Of
three years, now heir TO the throne.
Mention, also, is often made of Prince
Napoleon, who isto be put in command
of the divisions Of the French Italian
army, and of Capt. Bonaparte of the
United States. It is Interesting to
know who all these Bonaparses, and
how connected with the great Napo
leon. The Emperor Napoleon's family
Of brothers and sisters consisted OF
eight, born relative as follows !: joseph,
Napoleon, Lucien, Louis, Eliza,
Pauline, Caroline and jerome. OF
these, only one survives to-wit
Jerome, who was the youngest brother
NAroLEoN III.
Napoleon III, OF Charles Louis Ma
poleon, present Emperor Of France
was son of Louis, fourth brother OF
Napoleon I. and Hortense Beauharnais
Hortense was the laughter ofJoephine
the beautiful wirsow whom Napoleon |,
wooed and won, and-failing Of off
spring -brutally7 discarded. Thus the
grandson of the discarded Josephine
occupies the throne Napoleon I. hoped
to give to his own heir that be should
have by marrying Maria Louisa, o
Austria, Napoleon and Mary did have
male issue, but Napoleon IL, known
as Duke of Reicbstadt, died in 1882, al
the age Of 81 years, and during tht
reign Of Louis PHILIPPE.
Those who supposed that Napoleon
III. is mere interloper in France, hav
ing no title to that throne, will per
hads be surprised to know that BY th,
edits passed in 1904, the usual orde

Although Louis md Napoleon I. cam
to be enemies, Hortense was a grea

THIRTY.sIxTH CONGRESS.
FIR 5 T S z S S l D y

WASHINGTON, Dec. IL.
SESArE-Mr King presented petition
from Daniel F. Tiemann, Mayor OF the CITY
of New York. and 103 others, in favor of the
passage of the Homestead bill. and opposing
a monopoly of the public lands.
Mr.. Mason's resolution was then taken
Mr.. Clay said he wished to know where
he stood. Let there be no concealment.
Senator's on the other side profess to respect
the constitutional rights of the South and
declare they will preserve and MAINTAIN
them. If that declaration is sincere, and
the Republican party will keep the pledge,
there is no cause of complaint. But the
South has good reason to distrust these pro-
fessions when the conduct of the opposition
5 majors is so different.
One Senator treats the whole matter with
Ievitv. which would be offensive if he did
not always treat every subject in the same
manner. and he will probably die like Rabe-
lais, with a Jest upon his lips, and never
awake TO the responsibilities of lie and death
until he is called to judgment. Another ri
dicules the cowardice, weakness and impo-
tence of the South in suffering handful OF
men to seize the Armory at Harper's Ferry
in the face of 1900 inhabitants. Another
entertains us with newly discovered opinions
of Washington, Jefferson and other fathers
and trainers of the declaration of indepen-
dence and federal constitution, disappearing
of Slavery.
