The Ponaparte-P Patterson Case

The demand against Prince Napo-
leon Bonaparte, by Madame E. Pat
terson and her son, the fruit of her
marriage with the late Jerome Bona
parte, has been terminated. Madame
Patterson claimed to have been legal
ly married to Jerome Bonaparte at
Baltimore, on Christmas Eve, 1903.
A marriage certainly was solemnlzed
and consummated.. But the late Ma
poleon, who had just attained the In
perial dignity, declared spch an union
to have been legally null and void, and,
not long after this declaration, author
lied his brother Jerome to form a Sec
ond matrimonial alliance, with a Prin-
cess of Wurtemburg, by whom he had
two children, the present Prince Ma
poleon and the Princess Mathilde. -
The Pope. it must be stated, had re-
fused to annul the American marriage,
which Napoleon treated as null and
void from the first, and induced his
Senate formally to break it, on the
pretence that jerome was under age
only nineteen-when it took place.
In 1858, again in 1855, and thirdly
in 1860, Madame Patterson and her
son asserted their claims, which "a fam
lily council" declared legally unsup-
ported, though the present Emperor
acknowledged the relationship, and
Prince Napoleon has actually address
ed the Baltimore son as "mY dear Bro.
tier" when corresponding with him.
The President-Judge of the Tribunal
of the First Instance in Paris, before
whom the claim has recently been tried,
has declared Madame Patterson and
her son not receivable in their demand,
because the family council of 1856 de-
cided against it, and dismisses 1.-THE
plaintiffs to pay costs.
Thus the matter rests, for the pres
ent. We know not whether this de-
cision can be appealed against. If it
can, the Pattersons, who are among
the wealthiest people in Baltimore,
and can afford the expense, will prob
ably endeavor to obtain new trial. -

OXygenated BitterS.

A Query. Why will you suffer? DYSPEPSIA is
q brief but a comprehensive term for the numer-
Gus diseases which affect the stomach, liver, and
in fact the whole human system. Until DR..
Green discovered the Oxygenated Btters, med
zeal science was at fault and had exhausted itself
in fruitless efforts to cure this disease. The
Dyspeptic need suffer no longer with disease
that is always painful, and frequently fatal af-
Fiction.
This unique and peculiar compound will as
certainly cure the disease as the disease exists.
Had it not this power, such testimony as follows
would not have been given in its favor.

Female Influence.

Washington Irving, on this subject,
says: | have noticed that married man
falling into misfortune is more apt to
retrive his situation in the world than
a single one chiefly because his spirits
are soothed and relieved by domestic
enGearments, and self-rcspect, kept
alive by finding that, although abroad
may be darkness and humiliation, yet
there is still little world of love at
at home, of which he is the monarch.
Whereas, single man is apt to run
to waste and self-neglect to fall to
ruins like some deserted mansion, for
want of inhabi ants / have often
had occasion to remark the fortitude
with which women sustain the most
overwhelming rev erSes of fortune.
Those disasters which break down the
spirit of man, and PROSTATE him in the
dust, seem to call forth all the energies
of the softer sex, and give such intre-
pidity and elevation to their character,
that at times it approaches to sublim-
ity Nothing can be more touching
than to behold soft and tender fe-
male, who had been all weakness and
dependence, and alive to every trivial
roughness, while treading prosper ous
path, suddenly rising in mental force
to be the comforter of her husband
under misfortunes, abiding with I'M
shrinking frmness the bitterest blast
of stern adversely. AS the vine
has long twined its graceful foliage
about the oak, and has been lifted by
his sunshine, will when the hardy
plant is rifed by the thunderbolt, cling
around it with its caressing tendrils.
and bind mp its shattered brow /; so, it
is beautifully ordained by Providence
that woman, who is the ornament and
dependent of man in his happier hours,
should be his stay and solace when
smitten with dire and sudden calamity
winding herself into the rugged recess
ses of his nature, tenderly supporting
his dropping head, and bringing up the
broken heart.
