MADAME JEROME BONAPARTE.

Until very lately on occasional fine
days II venerable lady much bent in fig
ure, but with II distinguished air about
her, might have been seen walking
slowly down Charles street avenue,
leaning ON the arm of Il young and
handsome man Of medium height,
squarely built figure and dark COM
plexion. There was something SO out
Of the common about the couple that
passers by who did not know them
stopped to take u second look and Won
der who they were. People who Were
well acquainted in the city stopped also
and remarked one to another, "there
are Madame Bonaparte and her grand
SON." The venerable lady was the
widely renowned Madame Bonaparte,
and her escort was Charles Jerome Bo-
naparte, her grandson, a rising mem
her of the Baltimore bar. Recently the
distinguished lady, now ninety odd
years Of age, has become very feeble,
and does not venture out of doors, and
there are grave apprehensions that her
romantic and most eventful career is
fast approaching its close. The out
lines Of her curious history are well
known. AS Lady Morgan has aptly
said: "She belongs to history; she
lived with kings and princes, philosop-
hers and artists; there is about her a
perpetual curiosity and romance."-

he'd no ammunition with which to re-

help for it, and that Pickett must ad-
vance under his orders. He swept past
our artillery in splendid style, and the
men marched steadily and compactly
down the slope. As they started up
the ridge, over one hundred cannon
from the breastworks of the Federals
hurled . rain OF canister, grape and

Infantry rose and fired. When the

the hill. Mortal men could not have

contested field was cleared and the
battle of Gettysburg was over.
