| WITH MISS PATTERsoN-HTs MARRIAGE IN 1904, ETC.
PHILADELPHIA, August 3, 1860.
AS so many versions Ot the marriage of Prince
| Jerome BOnapartc to his American wife, Miss Pat
terson, of Baltimore, are being circulated l send
you an extract upon this subject, taken from the
"Lfe of Commodore Barney which think will
| place things in their true light
A FRIEND OF THE FAMILY.
EXTRACT FROM THE COMMODORE BARNEY.
| In July of this year Jerome Bonaparte the
| Youngest brother of Napoleon, who had received
| from the Consul the commission of Cdpitaine de
| Vaiasedt, without having, however, the slightest
pretensons to a knowledge of its duties, and had
taken the opportunity of cruise in the West India
seas to make visit to Baltimore. He accom-
panied by his friend General Reubel, secretary,
physician, and large suite of attendants, all of
whom were Immediately invited by Commodore
city, an invitation which was very gratefully ac-
cepted, and they remained several weeks to par
take the elegant hospitality of his family.
Upon jerome expressing wish to visit Phladel-
phia, the Commodore gratifed him by planning an
agreeable excursion through York, Lancaster, the
Springs, and other fashionable places of summer
resort, to all of which he accompanied and intro
duced him. They passed several days in Philadel-
phia, with which Jerome professed to be much
pleased; and everybody connected with the great
Captain more or less lion in the United States
the Commodore lost no opportunity of gratifying
the very natural curiosity of his fellowctizens by
''showing OFF, the young Jerome at all public
places within reach. The races at the beautiful
| village of Hayre-de, Grace the Susquehanna,
offered of these occasions, and an immense con-
| course of countrymen from the neighboring coun-
ties had there the chance of seeing what subsequent
events made matter to talk of Tor the rest of their
lives-the future King of Westphalia, the brother
of the greatest man in the world. short time
after their return to Baltimore the at Govans
town took place, and there for the first time Jerome
| saw the beautiful Miss P. A single glance was
enough to fire his heart. He had never seen go
! lovely creature before; and, forgetting brother,
empire future prospects, and everything but the
fascinating object before him, he insisted upon an
introduction to her, and very soon appealed to the
friendship of the Commodore to aid him in his
matrimonial designs.
The Commodore very prudently and firmly re-
monstrated with him against the folly of forming
an attachment with any lady in the United States,
situated as he was-under age, and entirely de-
pendent upon his brother, who had, no doubt,
other views for him; he reminded him that the
| laws of France would not recognize marriage so
| contracted and that, in the event of his brother
obiecting, the innocent and lovely object of his af
fections would be torn from him, and the conse-
quence could not be otherwise than painful to all
parties. Commodore Barney felt it to be his fur
ther duty to make the representations to Miss
| P and her family; and thus, instead of assist
ing Jerome in the step which he seemed resolved
upon taking, ne did everything that strict propri
ETY. would justify to prevent its consammation.
Our readers need not be told how little his argu-
ments availed either side; the marriage was
probably delayed by his interference but at length
took place Christmas Day, 1904. The whole
| world are acquainted with the result.
Commodore Barney was at this time an officer in
the French service-the rank of Cdpitaine de Vais-
| sean du Premier, and commission as Chef de Di-
yision des Arnees Naraes, answering to the rank
| of Commodore in service. Commodore Barney
had returned from France the year before Jerome
| visited this country.
From this extract you will see the Paris cerres-
pondent of the Courier des Etats UiS was incor-
rect by asserting that "Jerome had been enticed
into the match by premeditated scheme"
| PRINcELY ETIQUETTE.-In a Dance it is sad the
Prince only gives the lady his left hand and she is
not permitted to take his right it being contrary to
the etiquette due from a subject to the heir appa-
