Joseph Bonaparte's residence was,
perhaps, the finest in America. Thous-
ands Of people visited it from all parts
of the country. and were always treated
eourteously. He was profuse with his
money, and gave great impetus to bus
mess in the little town. The Philadel-
phians finding that he had apparently
no end of money, and that he used it to
benefit business generally, regretted,
when it was too late, that they had re-
fused to let him locate among them
selves; and, too keep up their mortifca-
ton, would always taunt Jerseymen
with havinga king-with importing the
King of Spain to rule over them they
were called Spsniards and foreigners on
this account. z But these taunts harmed
no one, as the Jerseymen lost nothing
by their alluring him to settle among
them; and the term foreigner, Joking
ly applied to Jerseymen, has come
down to us long after its origin has
been forgotten, except by a few men
of the past generation. Many
years ago--during the reign OF Louis
Philippe, we believe-both Bonaparte
and Murat found they could safely return
to Europe, so they sold out and re-
turned.

A Man Who Preferred Death to
Marriage.


Professor Flory, Of Pittsburg, com
mitted suicide day or two since. The
Burlington Free Press gives the follow
ing particulars Of the affair:
Professor Flory was to have been
married to a Miss Scribner, from Beck
mantown. but, as the story is reported,
he repented of the engagement, and on
Sunday last went to the lake to drown
himself, but as it appeared did not
Tuesday he became intoxicated in the
early part Of the day, and at noon was
carried home from Witherells and a
doctor called, who gave him some medi-
cine to quiet him. About the Middle of
the afternoon, Mr.. Scribner, his wife,
and Flory' intended, called at the house
TO see him, and the doctor told them
they could not see him as he was sick,
but they insisted on seeing him, and
went into the house. Flory hearing
them Jumped up and ran down stairs
into the basement, where there is
family living, and told the man to 60 up
stairs and tell Soribner that he had
gone. He did so, and hurried back and
found that Flory had left. He went i'm
mediately in search Of him, and found
him hanging by the neck, dead, in the
barn. He at once called assistance and
cut him down, but life was extinct His
untimely death has cast sad gloom
over the entire village, as he was man
greatly respected by all, and the last
person who was expected to commit
such a rash act. There are some dark
rumors in circulation regarding the
cause for the terrible act, and the facts
will no doubt be brought out at the in

A Glimpse of Fashionable Life in
tiie Time Of George III.

1 From Tinsley's Magazine.l
When the late Earl of Harrington was
a leader of fashions, (being at that time
Lord Petersham), the evening full dress
of fashionable gentlemen's legs consisted
of pantaloons fitting close to the shape,
and tied with thin ribbon rather tightly
around the ankles The color was either
black or buff, though sometimes white;
but black predominated. as best calcula-
ted to conceal imperfechons Of contour.
lord Petersham, being an Adonis IN
for N, usually appeared in white or buff
pant taloons. One evening. however, he
suddenly led off new style, which
very few ventured to follow, and
nresented himself at an elegant soiree
In aesh or blush colored "tights," the
effect of which we leave to be imagined.
His Lordship calmly justified this start
ling novelty by saying that buff or white,
toward the close of an evening, more
especially after dancing, had the ten
dency to look like not very nice flesh
color whereas his present innovation
gave the effect Of freshness, as from
bath. Some people considered this JUS
tification as rather equivocal. 1t was
given. however, with a mild imperturba-
bility not to be conveyed by written
words, and. in any case, be did what he
pleased, like BrummelI, who preceded
him, always finding admirers. and IN
most eases many followers. He was re-
siding at this period in st. James Pal
ace, where George III. had given him a
suit of apartments. He held, | believe,
some kind of Office at Court, but what
ever it was, His Lordsh;p never did any
duty g.,
Returning once from a ball which hsd
lasted a whole summers night, and muei
beyond, Lord Petersham sent away his
carriage, preferring to walk home in
order to enjoy the refreshing GOODNESS of
early morning--say 6:30 q. m. or perhaps
lam. and on the way he met the King
and Queen walking arm-in-arm up Bond
street, None of the shops were open.
Their Maiesties were going to see MISS
Linwood's Exhibition of Tapestry, which
at that day was in the neighborhood OF
South Moulton street, and the royal
couple had no doubt sent to Miss Lin
wood to be open at that very early hour.
1t thus happened that they were met as
Mr.. and Mrs. Guelph, walking like
DARBY and Joan arm-in-arm up the
street. at the vacant and silent hour of
seven in the morning. The early habits
of the royal family at that day were,
however, we'll known. Lord Petersham
was great favorite with Farmer
George and Snuffy" (as their Majestes
were not unfrequently designated in ir-
reverent caricatures of the period;) His
Lordship therefore stopped on meeting
the homely pair, and they had a chat for
ten minutes, while here and there a shop
door began to yawn, and the drowsy
shutters of one or other of the great
fsh-mongers and fruiterers were slowly
moving down, in expectation Of the
market-carts from Billingsgate and Co
vent Garden. But there were no street
passengers to admire or wonder at Lord
Petersham's heshings." Such a pic
ture as this group presented, if painted
and exhibited at the present time, would, |
no doubt, be denounced as an incredible
invention.

Italy, that land Of wonders, at present
has sensation in the person Of La
Regina dal Gin, peasant, whose skill in
setting dislocated limbs surpasses that
of trained italian surgeons-at least
those who practice in and about Ceneda-
Vittoria, where she lives. Her mother
had natural gift for correcting dis
torted limbs, Strengthening them out and
setting them when they were dislocated,
and this gift she seems to have bestowed
upon her daughter. When yet young
the girl was accustomed attentively to
examine the legs Of fowls and other
small animals, and thus picked up some
knowledge Of comparative anatomy,
which she afterward completed by
examining that of man at a
hospital to which she was admitted. She
was unable te read or write, and was, in
fact, so extremely ignorant as not to know
the names of the bones she nevertheless
set, when more learned practitioners de-
clared that such an operation was im-
possible. Her great success attracted
the attention Of physicians, who man
aged to have her sentenced TO two
months Imprisonment, although the
sentence was not carried into effect.
Finally, however, public opinion decided
that they were not to be interGered with,
and the authorities gave her permission
to attend to as many cases of luxation
as she should choose 10, and so her ma
tive town has become famous, and Grip
pies from all parts of Europe flock to it
to be healed.

Onrious srnre Ineldents.

From All the Year Round.
1t is curious how many Of the incl
dents and details of representation es-
cape the notice Of the audience. And
here we are referring less to merits than
to misehances, Good acting may not
always obtain due recognition; but then
how often bad acting and accidental de-
feieneies remain undetectedl We
were all terribly out, but the audience
did not see il, actors will often candidly
admit. Although we in front sometimes
see and hear things we shonld not, some
peculiarity of our position blinds and
deafens us so much Our eyes are be-
guiled into accepting age for youth,
shabbiness for finery, tinsel for splen-
dor. Garrick frankly owned that he
had once appeared upon the stage so
inebriated as to be scarcely able TO ar
ticulate, but his friends endeayored to
stife or cover this trespass with loud
applause" and the majority of the au-
dience did not perceive that anything
extraordinary was the matter. What
happened to Garrick on that occasion
has happened TO others of his profession.
And our ears do not catch much Of
what is uttered on the stage. Young,
the actor, used to relate that on one oe-
casion, when playing the hero Of the
Gdulesfer to the Mrs Beverley Of
Sarah Siddons, he was so overcome by
the passion of her acting as to be quite
unable to proceed with his part There
was long pause, during which the
prompter several times repeated the
words which Beverley should speak.
Then Mrs. Siddons, coming up to her
fellow-actor, put the tips Of her fingers
upon his shoulders, and said. ina low
voice, ''Mr. Young, rscollect yourself.
Yet probably from the front Of the house
nothing was seen or heard Of this In
the same way the players will sometimes
