The past history of the families of Louis
Napoleon and the Sultan of Turkey il
full of interesting and marvellous incidents
some Of which are probably not generally
known. a'3G ~a
These two monarchs, a few years ago so
cordially united in the, struggle to, main
tain the integrity of the Ottoman Empire,
are both descendants Of American ladies,
the n q grandson and the other a great
grandson. These ladies were born in the
same neighborhood, On the island of Mar
Unique, one of the West Indies. They
were of French origin, and companions
and intimate friends in childhood and
youth. They were Josephine de Tascher
and a Miss s.. Tie history of jose
phine is generally known. She went to
France and was married to NJ. de Beau
harnais, by whom she had one son, Eu-
gene, and a daughter, Hortense. Some
time after the death of Beauharnais
Josephine was married. to Napoleon Bona
parte, then King of Holland, and the
present Emperor of France is her son by
this marriage.
But nov for the romance of the affair.
Jesephine's bosom friendquitted the island
of Martinique some time before she did.
But the vessel that was taking her to
France was attacked and taken by Alge-
rine c~orsairs, and the crew and passengers
made prisoners, but the corsair ship was
in turn attacked and pillaged by Tunis
pirates, and Miss g.. wa carried BY them
to Constantinople, and offered for sale as
a slave. Her extraordinary beauty and
accomplishments found her a purchaser
in the Sultan himself and she soon be-
came the chief lady in his seraglio, and
Sultanness of Turkey. Mahmoud II was
her son Abdul Medjid was the son of
Mahmoud, and the present Sultan, Abdul
Aziz Khan, is the grandson of Mahmoud.
Thus the two sovereigns who now ec-
eupy so large a space in the worlds eye,
are descended from two American creole
girls, who were plsymates in their youth,
and as remarkable for their beauty and
excellent dispositions as for their varied
and singular fortunes. Both of these
women, in the highest of their power, re-
membered the friends of their youth, and
provided muniieentIy for their welfare.
Many of the relatives of the Sultanness
left the island Of Martinique and settled at
Constantinople, where their descendants
till reside, and enjoy the favor of the
a1-eHsL 5ra,g
The Sultaness died in 1911, the Empress
Josephine in 1914. i

The Memnhta Posi-.

We are in receipt of the initial num-
Der Of a daily bearing the above title. It
is conducted by John Eaton, jr, formerly
of Toledo, and recently Superintendent
Of Freedmen in the Department of the
South; James Dumars, late editor of the
Mahoning Register at Youngstown; and
John L. Johnston, Esq. It is an able and
dignifed exponent of that uncomprO-
missing loyalty SO much needed in Ten
nessee and other States lately involved in
rebellion. Artistically it is far superior to
any other Southern journal within our
knowledge, and gives evidence of enter
prise and spirit. From an intimate &C
qusintanes with Col. Dumars, we are
enabled to commend him as a gentleman
of afability and culture, and a journalist
of tact and ability.

The Representative hall was occupied
this evening by the Convention of the
Equal Rights League of colored men.
Delegates were present from different sec

conducted with dignity and propriety.
The hall and galleries were filed with
cOlored people of all ages and both sexes.

Cincinnati, delivered an address on the

The speaker announced that his race
bad always been loyal to the Union, and
claimed for themselves equal rights with
others to vote in the territories belonging
to the United States, and such alone he
declared the rebellious States to be. He

A scene in the italian Chamber.

ETOm al AHA AhpSA-l .-rH# efH
To-day was the great fight in the Cham
Der, which satisfied its ardent longing to
assail Ministers, and put them on their
mettle. Pretext was taken of an inter
polation by Niseo, directed against the
Royal decree granting the service Of the.
Treasures to the Bank-a grave question
indeed and which assumed frightful pro-
portions. Boggio, Crispf, Valerie all
against Ministers; even Devincenzj, the
upholder of Government, breaking out
against the official bench. In defense of
the poor Cabinet, BrogIio alene stood up
proposing a certain suspensive question
an anchor of salvation cast out to the
dying. The Chamber laughed. Mancini
pressed upon the Ministry, and alluded to
certain intentions Of d~issolving the Cham
Der. La Marmora got furious and cried
out, that, if necessary, he had courage en-
ough to decree the dissolution Furious
in its turn, the Chamber stormed horribly.
The President was obliged to quit his chair
and put on his hat. Crispi shouted "Go
to school, Signor La MarmoraP' $50
there yourselfr' retorted the General. The
two sides of the Chamber shook their fists
at each other, and the left exclaimed:
"Bismarki Bismarck and treated La
Marmora as a corporal, and inquired if
Florence was in Prussia. General La
Marmora tried to explain and extemuate
his words, and said that if the Chamber
were to be dissolved it would be done in
a constitutional manner. This seemed
rather to add fuel to fame, by confirming
the idea that a dissolution really was in
tended. Amid great agitation Broglio's
suspensive motion was rejected, and Val
erio's, which forbade the carrying out of
the decree relating to the Treasury, was
voted by an immense majority. General
La Marmora left the Palazzo Vecchio in
company with Baron Malaret. 1t is well
known that with the present Chamber no
Ministry Is possible. For this -t~t~-Af
things thanks are due to the sagacity of
Baron Natoli. The affair of the Treasury
was a mere pretext. Henceforward we
know how things stand, and parties have
no longer any motive for hesitation and
uncertainty. son

From the Philadelphia Press.
How IN Usaa PaIare.

One of the cheap London weekly pa
pers, with an immense circulation among
what my Lord Jessamy would call the
lower classes" argues, very ably and in
detail, that as Buckingham Palace Is ap-
parently no longer required for the COM
fort or convenience of royalty, it might be
turned to account for the people, as a ma
tional gallery or British museum, while
the gardens would afford recreative
grounds for the public. The gardens,Eit
says, are "full Of natural and acquired
beauties, and would be something like
Elyslum to hundreds of thousands ofin-
jewellers of London, whose weekdays are
occupied at the workbench, and whose
Sunday pleasures include nothing better
than a sight ofthe aristocratic equestrians
in Hyde Park and the breezes of Primrose
Hill. Behind that dreary wall that
frowns upon Grosvenor Place there is a
scene of surprising beauty, designed
with exquisite taste, and completed with
all that disregard of expense for which
the nation is famous whcni it is to increase
the comforts and the happiness of its
sovereign" M lp1
This, in a quiet way, is as suggestive of
r~epublicanism, TO leayen the British mon

long time. If Victoria reads any news

Post and the Court Journal, she must fire.

tradesmen and shop-keepers, whose livelir

The Evaeuation Of Chihuahua.

ID Juarez has again H~evacuated' Chihua-
hua, and fallen back upon Ell Paso. In
order that our readers may understand
what this movement involves, it will be
well for us to explain that the latter place
is on the extreme northern boundary. of
Mexico, just across the Rio Grande, and
surrounded by a wild, mountainous and
uninhabited country, which better protects
it from imperial assault than its fortifca-
lions or its garrison. The strength of the
latter, indeed, may be guessed from the
fact thst twenty-five men constituted at
once the cabinet, the escort and the army
of President Juarez On leaving Chihua-
hua. This place, though it is itself in the
far northern portion of the country, eight
hundred miles from the city. of Mexico, is
still, compared with FL Paso,an important
town. It lies two hundred miles south of
FL Paso, is the capital Of the province Of
Chihuahua and the centre of a large Texan
trade Marshal BaEaine did not, however,
deem it necessary to preserve an Imperial
garrison there and as soon as he Withdrew
his forces, Juarez took possession and de-
clared it his capitol. But now q French
force comes marching back and JuareE
skeddadles of to FL Paso again, whence if
close pressed,h he can cross the Rio Grande,
and, initiating the FenianS establish q
Mexican Republic in the United States.
vi The movement shows the straits to
which the unfortunate Republicans of
Mexico have been reduced. Practically
they have no army, no capital and no gov
ernment- Their authority only commences
where Maximilian's ends, and should the
latter care to establish a garrison even
at FL Paso he would have very little
difficulty in doing so. In truth, the sloth-
full and indolent people of Mexico are
weary of their unequal struggle with
France, and while their sympathies are
with the gallant and heroic little band
headed by Juarez, 0rtega and Cortinas,
they will do nothing actively to aid them.
In view of this, we have no difficulty in
believing the statement made in the tele-
graph to-day that Napoleon is willing to
withdraw the French troops. he thinks

But the establishment by French arms
Of a European monarchy upon American
shores is no less an outrage because it is so
