The Romance OF Mark Twain's

From ne CISrGlQRd Herald, FEB. g.
It had been arranged that Mr.. and Mrs.
Clemens should proceed at once to their
boarding:houSe, On arriving in Buffalo,
while the rest Of the party were to be
domiciled at the Tin House. The sCcur-
ing Of desirable, gentcel home, in pri.
valc family, had been delegated to an in
innate friend and resident Of Buffalo, who,
understanding the tastes and requirements
Of the young couple, would Of course be
the best person to make for them judiciouS
arrangements. MI. Clemens, having been
absent ON Ills lecturing tour for the past
few months, accepted the ASSURANCE that
everything had been attended 10. At the
depot hearty "goOd nights" were cx.
changed, the larger party driving to the
hotel, the bride anil groom taking Il car.

in front of u modest but very attractive
brick house in the upper part Of Delaware
street, Mr.. Clemens was somewhat sur.
prised to be met in the hall by tho father Of
tho bride, and his own sister, whom

with France is quite accurately determine

in that wise from this standpoint, must nee
esarily have no further weight than good
Tor bad) guessing. The information We get
by telegraph about the direction of the diplo-

lively carried on by all the great European
powers, conducted with the central purpose
of arressing the progress Of the war and to
accommodate the geography Of the contend
ing natioualities to such limits - shall bet
secure the peace and tranquility Of the con-
tinent, is utterly unreliable. Until some
thing de6nisc Is done, in the accommodation
of the struggle, it is more than likely that
the news promulgated is sent out with view
to gain time and mislead. Such Is entirely
the character Of European diplomacy under
all circumstances. There are cumulative
reasons in the present political junctnre, for
keeping from the eager public the actual and
varying terms of the negotiations urged By
the great and anxious powers Of Europe.
There is reason, however, for relying upon
the report, of the reluctance Of King William
to listen to proposition Of peace based upon
the recognition Of the present Repabliaa
government of France. In the frx place he

Tlae Mother Of Napoleon I.

Carlo Bonaparte and Le.itia I;amOlini
were his parents. They had loved and been
befrOthed when she was only fourteen wears
of age; but their families were active politi-
cal antagonists, and the marriage WIS defer
red for about two years, when the PioIi
party, To which Carlo belonged, became alb
soluie masters Of Corsica, and active strife
ceased. They were welded in l7776, by the
Archbishop, and received the blessings of
her parents at the nuptials.
Count Marbeuf, the conquercr, was made
Governor Of Corsica, and Carlo Bonapar.e
and his family were highest on his list of
personal friends. Ten years after that con-
quest the COrsican MOBILES sent Carlo to Paris
as their representative in the popular branch
of the Imperial Government Of France.
Leaving Letitia in charge Of their growing
family, he took Joseph and Napoleon with
him.
They crossed the sea at Leghorn and jour-
neyed to Florence, where Carlo received from
the Grand Duke Leopold letter to his sis
ter, Marie Antoinnefte, the Queen Of France.
She made Carlo welcome guest at Versail-
les, when Napoleon, then 10 years old, first
looked upon that gorgeous palace of which
he was afterward the master. Carlo left
Josephine in sehoolat Autun, and through
the influence Of Governor Narbruf, he was
allowed to place Napoleon in the military
school at Brienne, where the afterward emf
nent Pitchegrue was one of his instructors.
Six years later heavy weight Of misfor-
time fell upon Letitia. Carlo was attacked
by the disease which terminated the Life of

became the most illustriOus Italian Princess
Of her time; and Caroline Maria Annunciado,
the wife Of Murat, who became Queen Of
Naples in 1905.
The young widow Of Ajaccio had mo reason
to dream, in widest fancy, Of the sPlendors
that awaited herself and family. The latter
were mostly little children; Jerome, the
youngest, an infant in her arms. She was
left with scanty means for their support and
education. To there she devoted all her en-
ergies with marvellous succes. Strength, We
have observed, was the prominent feature in
her character, and this was displayed in the
hour Of need. Napoleon once said, 'She
had the head Of man on the shoulders Of
woman. Losses, privations, fatigue, had no
effect upon her; she endured all, bravel all. y
These came at times thick and fast. Joseph,
ever kind and good, helped his mother with
all his might ~ he grew towards manhood;
while NapoleOn, rather dull student in out
ward expression, was preparing, in the m'li-
tary school Of Paris, for that wonderful ca
rcer which enabled him, by imperial decree,
to make sOvereigns Of his brOthers and
sisters, and to confer upon his mother, at the
age Of 80 years, the lofty title Of Madame
Mere, equivalent to that Of Empress Mother,
with an income Of 500, 900 \ year.

ruF MISSOURI CONTEST.

Missouri politics seems to be in consider
able of a muddle. We have high regart
for Gratz Browns ability, his patriotism ant
his republicanism. We cherish an equal,
earnest feeling for his most prominent friend
Carl Schurz. They are both able, clea
headed statesmen Of UNREASONABLE
influence in our national politics. And We
recent Developments in the progress Of the
contest in Missouri, between the two con.
tending factions of the Republican party, in
dictate TO us that We were. entirely mistaken as
to the true ground Indifference between them
We supposed that the rock that separated
the party WAS the disfranchisment question.
One fraction was following the lead of their
fixed and irrational prejudices and animosi-
ties, and the other, the light Of the larger
and more liberal spirit of the nation, the
interests and destinies of whose individuals
are the same.
1t now looks as though the early and i'm
petuous charge Of the New York Tribune
brigade into the camp of Il, GratA Brown
was not without good advice. Indeed, the
St. Louis Demoo@, fighting very shy, puts
the question at last, about on the ground OF
protection.
We can't vote in Missouri. But the tariff
question is one Of national concern, and
when the time comes, and the parties are
ready for the issue we are prepared to dis
cuss it. We should support and vote for Mr..
Brown against McClurg upon all other ques-
tons that have interested the people Of this
nation for the last ten years. But if he and
his friends have intrigued to settle that qucs-
ton in Missouri without discussion, in his
election as Governor of the State, We have
no hesitation in recording our wish that he
should moi succeed.
