also offered 10000 forms for the same honor,
but the negotiations were broken of. Several
other sums were received; but Varady returned
all the money received by him, although bis own

She was thenceforth cruelty beaten by her

PRINCE JEROME TO EUGENE,
PARIS, July 19.-The following letter, written
by Prince Jerome Napoleon to the ex-Empress
Eugenie, June g, after the mass here for the
Prince Imperial, is published:
MADAaE: have just come from the service At
the Church OF Saint Augnstin for my brave and
unfortunate cousn. am profoundly moved and
dce1rous OF expressing my mouru1uI sympathy for
your Majesty.
The Senate, 153 to 116, voted the bill relating
to the installation Of the Chambers in Paris as
amended by the Deputies.
PRINCE JEROME DECLARES H1MsBL9 THE LEGAL
REPRESENTATIVE OF THE BoNAPARTR FAM
III.
Bu Cake to Cincinnati Enquirer.
PARIS july 19--It is reported upon evidence
apparently trustworthy that Prince Jerome has
not only formally declared himself the legal
representative of The Bonaparte family and its
legitimate chief, but has also entered into conf
dental relations with some Of the Imperial
leaders, who, since the temporary retire
ment Of II. Rouher from politics, found
themselves without recognized head.
The Prince is unpopular With bis own
party, but every one perceiyes that it
is impossible to pass By and select his son Vic
tor as the immediate standard-bearer IN bis
stead. Paul de Cassaenac himself said yester-
day that such an agreement would be the seal OF
the dynasty. The 1mperalist bully has written
letter to Rouher, Offering, IN. view OF the
emergency Of the crisis, TO pastpone ali their
differences upon minor points aud concentrate
their efforts upon the fundamental idea OF
Bonapartism and the restoration OF the Empire.
The fact OF the transmission Of the letter has
leaked out, and is causing the greatest excite
tncnt. No one believes in Jerome's sincerity in
his professcd prcde'!c.ion for Republic.

and moral courage Movements are

A Dangerous Torporo

Torpor or inactivity of the kidneys is
seriously dangerous to those organs,
since it is the precedent Of diseases
which destroy their substance and endan-
ger life. This slnggisbness may BE- over
come by stimulating them. not excessive
ly, but moderately, an effect produced by
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a general
i~nvigdrant and Alternative, possessing d.
uretic properties OF no common order.
The impetus which this admirable medi
cine gives to their evacuative junction
counteraets any tendency TO congestion
which may exist III their tissues. Both
they and their associate organ, the blad-
der, are ~invigorated as we'll as gently
stimulated by the Bitters. which exerts a
kindred influence upon the stomach, liv-
er and bowels. and by strengthening the
system. enables it to withstand malalial
epidemies, to which when exposed it
might otherwise succumb.
