MISS PATTERSoN.-A matter rather singu-
lar, forcibly impressed itself upon me some
weeks ago, but l neglected noticing it up to
the present time. Passing along our streets
the next Gay after the announcement of the
death of Prince Jerome Bonaparte, saw his
wife-Miss Patterson-now near her eightleth
year, walking out, in her usual costume, un-
concerned as if nothing had happened. She
certainly knew the fact but knowing her &C.
centricities, was not surprised. 1t Is no un-
common thing to see this venerable lady in the
public marts attending personally to business.
She often collects her own rents, and takes q
flirt at stock speculations when the fever is p.
At all times an elegant crown jewel, glitter
iug with diamonds Of the purest water is dis
played upon her forehead, whilst her arms
are white skin smooth and tender as a maiden
of sixteen. She is really a remarkable woman.
There is deep stoicism and unbending phi
losophy, coupled with independence, in her
composition, which one out of a thousand,
male or female. does not possess. Her every
thought is replete with favoritsm for yalty.

upon touching imperial favors, she lives in
the ideal of la belle France. Her greatest am =
bition is to hear of her grandsor-young Je-
rome-now in the French army, rising to honor
and imperial distinction. A large portion of
her annual income, which is very large, is ap-
propriated to his service. At her demise, it is
presumed, he will inherit her entire fortune,
as she is not on terms of intimacy with her
son here.-Baltimore Cor N. Y. Times.

No Time to Loss.-The Superintendent of the
Richmond and York River Railroad appeared
before the Mayor yesterday to show cause
why his Company should not be fined for
breaking and injurng the north curbstone on
Dock street. The defendant admitted that the
stone had been broken, but gave as a reason
for il, that the heavy rain some ten days since
caused such body of water to pour into the
railroad lot, that complete lake twelve inches
deep formed around -he depot, and that to
drain ii and prevent serious injury to the
work 1t was necessary to cut the curbing, SO
as to give it an outlet. Mr. Temple promised
to have the break repaired as soon as the city
made an outlet for the water which poured
down from the brick yards and from Cary
street, both north of the road. The Mayor
continued the summons, to enable him to ex.
anime the premises.
