NapOleOn's Mother,

The family of Bonapartes we're a
pure Italian race; there was not a drop
of French blood in any o fthem. Their
ancestors had come from the main
land in the early history of Corsica,
and their names are found in the re-
mote annals of Ajaccio. Carlo Bona
pnrte was a poor gentleman of excel
lent breeding and character, who mar
ried in his youth a young and roman
tic girl named Letizia Ramolino, who
followed him in his campaigns up to
the moment of the birth of Napoleon.
1t is impossible to say how much the
history of Europe owes to the high
heart and indomitable spirit Of this
soldierly woman. She never relin-
pushed her authority in her family.
When all her children were
princes and potentates, she was
still the severe, stern Madame
Mere. The beauty and grace of
Josephine Beauharnais never conquer
ed her the sweet Tyrolese prettiness
Of Maria Louisa won from her only a
sort Of contemptuous indulgence.
When her. mighty son ruled the con
%tinent, she was the only human being
whose chidings he regarded or endur-
ed. She was faithful in her rebukes
while the sun shone, and when calam
ity came, her undaunted spirit was
still true and devoted to the fallen.
Her provincial habit of economy stood
her in good stead in her vigorous old
age; she was rich when the Empire
had passed away, and her grand-ch
dren needed her. 1t must have been
from her that Napoleon took his ex-
traordinary character, for Carlo Bona
parte, though a brave soldier and an
ardent patriot in his youth, was of an
easy and genial temper, inclined to
take the world as he foundit, and not
to insist too much on having it 20 in
his especial way Harper's Magazine.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov. 10, 1879.

The accounts of country merchants
and planters, with banks and others
here, are rapidly diminishing, and ere
the close of the present year, our
planting community will be nearer
free from debt than they have been
at any time within the past dozen
years. The volume of currency here,
while in fair supply, is kept constantly
in motion; heavy offerings Of
exchange and the liberal daily
sales Of cotton, requiring large ship
ments from the Eastern financial cen
tres to keep balances even here. The
established rate Of discount is s per
cent, and a fair mercantile demand
prevails for loans. Taxpayers are in
the market for county warrants at So
to 50 cents. There is no movement in
other securities.
Exchange rates remain steady at
1915 per thousand for New York
sight, and s. per thousand
where grace is asked. Checks on
New York are sold at par. New Or
leans rates are unchanged at / dis
count buying, and par selling.

General Trade.

Clear frosty weather, with a pros
pect of immediate improvement in
navigation, is likely to increase the
business boom here. The freight rate
from st. Louis to this market has
been reduced to 10 cents per cwt., and
30 cents per Dbl, a decline of 5 cents
per cwt. Our market this forenoon
was full of produce in first hands, but
the steamer Gaff was looked for from
st. Louis with fresh consignments.

and slightly lower. Hay indicates
steadiness with a good demand for
home and interior trade. Bran is

the line and insure its success. The
directors are II. NJ. Sweetzer, presi-
dent; Walter B. Pennington, secreta-

Jupiter's Queer Conduct.

For many months past a vast oval
opening has existed in the deep cloud
envelope of Jupiter. Such, at least.
seems to be the true Interpretation Of
the enormous rOse-tinted spot now Wis
ible on the "moon-girt orb of mighty
Jove." The opening has a length Of
fully $4,000 miles, a breadth of about
1000 miles, though it is to be noted as
not the least remarkable feature of this
strange phenomenon, that since it was
discovered the opening has changed
markedly in size and shape, if not in
position Gas Prof. Prichard, who first
noticed it, believes), The part of Ju-
pliers outer-cloud envelope thus dis
placed cannot be less than 1876, 600. 900
Of square miles in extent-in other
words, the area of the rose-tinted spot
is nearly equal to that of all the sea
covered parts of our earth. Our spec
troscopists ought to be able to
compare the rosy light from
this part of Jupiter with that
received from the ream- colored belt
now occupying a part of his equatorial
zone. The result of such a COMPARE
son could hardly fail to be instructive.
1t has been asserted, by the way. that
nine-tenths of Jupiter's light is in
herent, not mere sunlight reflected
from his cloud surface. This, how
ever, cannot be the case, though
doubtless the eminent mathematician
PRO. PIERCE who made the statement
is fully justified in believing. as he
does, that the hidden globe Of Jupi-
ter is still aglow with intense heat.
For If niue-tenths or even one-half of
Jupiter's light were inherent this light
Analysed with the spectroscope would
almost certainly be found to differ in
a marked degree from that of reflect
ed sunlight, whereas the only observ-
ed difference is such as to indicate
that Jupiter's light is in the main. If
not wholly, sunlight which has passed
through air heavily laden with the
yapor Of water. Doubtless Jupiters
dense clouds hide his glowing surface
almost wholly from our view.-[Ne w
