The Sad St0ry Of n Daughter
of Thomas H. Benton. @&

The French cause celebre in which
General John C. Fremont was the cen
trail figure, i'm connection with his rail
road speculatiOns, and the manner in
which large numbers of Frenchmen
were victimized thereby, will be- fresh
in the memory of your readers. Gener-
al Fremont escaped the rigorous verdict
of the French court by having made his
way to this country. Intimately con-
nected with General FremOnt'sschemes,
and mainly instrumental in having
them favOrably introduced in financial
circles in France, was Baron Gauldree-
Boileau, for many years French consul
in New York. 1t will be remembered
that in the early days OF the French re-
public BOileau left this city for France,
to defend himself against the charge of
being an accomplice of Fremont. He
was convicted and sentenced to three
years imprisonment. The sad sequel
to all this is as follows: The wife of
Baron Gauldree- B0ileau, daughter of
Thomas III. Benton, of Missouri, died
on the sixth Of March, in q state of al
most AFFECT poverty, in a garrett in Par

tunate wife, with six children, whom, he
had left absolutely penniless, had lived
i'm wretched quarters at BoulOgne, where
she was supported by the bounty of a
friendly English family. Finally she
removed to Paris, where M. Frederick
GaiIlardet, formerly editor of the COar-
rier DIES Etats Unis, of New York, who
lived near her, was the only person to
render aid. Being in very feeble health,
she was unable to do much for herself,
and both she and her children were sub
iected tothe neutrality-suspicious.. More
over, the Partisan police molested the
poor woman repeatedlytby prying visi-
tations as is generally done in France
toward the families of ~conviets. Grief
and despair at last did their work, and
she died broken hearted.
When Marshal MacMahon heard of
her sad end, and that six children were
left helpless, he granted Baron Gaul-
dre-BoiIeau a free pardon. The latter
was beside himself with sorrow upon
hearing the sad tidings, and at the latest
adVices from Paris it was feared that
hig reason would give way.
