About the Bonapartes.

The attention of the public has been
attracted to the condition of Nine Bona
parte, who is still living at Baltimore,
having reached the unusual age of
"a. The history of this woman
is not only very sad, but it also
has romantic aspect. In 1868
Jerome Bonaparte, who was nineteen,
visited Baltimore. He was the young
est child in the family, being the junior
of Napoleon by fifteen years. He had
some experience in naval matters, and
had reached the rank of Lieutenant.
While in Baltimore he became attached
to Miss Patterson, a young lady of
wealth and beauty, whom he married,
Notwithstanding the protests of the
French Consul. The bride was year
younger than her husband, whom she
accompanied to Europe, but the impru-
dent couple found to their surprise that
they were not allowed to enter France.
jerome left his wife at Lisbon in order to
seek an interview with his brot her, the
Emperor. The latter not only refused
to recognize the marriage, but, worse
than this, he persuaded Jerome to aban-
don his wife, and the young couple,
thus suddenly separated, never met
again. The neglected wife was early
called to suffer great agony. Having no

Gazette.

A youth living on Bagg Street rolled
an apple barrel to the curbstone the
other afternoon, filed it with cobble-
stones, headed it up, and marked the
barrel: /" Greenings-handle carefully"
The youth retired to await further de-
velopments, and they soon came. A
sawdust wagon came along, and the
driver jumped down and took long
look at the barrel. He probably reason
ed that it had been delivered by grocer,
and he doubtless wondered why it had
not been rolled into the cellar. Dusk
was coming on, and the man drove Oft.
In quarter of an hour he returned.
i" Greetings" were there yet, and he
drove around the square, took the tail
board out of his wagon, and at length
drove up close to the barrel. No one
was in sight, and he made dash for
the prize. He probably expected a
rather heavy lift, but when he felt the
weight of those cobblestones his sur
prise must have been great. He gave
one awful lurch, lifted the barrel about
an inch, and as his fingers raked over
the hoops he groaned in agony and leap
ed into his wagon as if dog had been
reaching for his coat-tails. At various
times during the night vehicles were
heard hating and driving suddenly
away, but when day broke the "green
ings'' were still there, though only two
hoops were left on the barrel.-Detros

Word 70 the CorpuIeut.

Instead of regarding obesity as an abnor-
NAL condition, many people have errone ously
considered it as an evidence of health. and
any agent that reduces fat is therefore at
once suspected of being injurious. Starting
to reason from the false position that fat is an
evidence of health, it is not surprising that
they should very th, naturally; 1al into the error
critics capable of reducing corpulency would
prove injurious to the health. Reasoning,
however, from the rational basis, that an un-
due deposition of fat, constituting obesity, is
not healthy but morbid condition, it is
quite as natural for us to arrive at the oppo-
site conclusion, e., which is sustained by expe-
rience and observation, that the reduction of fat
in cases OF corpulency is invariably followed
by an improvement Of strength, spirits and
physical comforts. Allan's Anti-Fat will re-
>duce fat person from to 5 pounds week.

The success attending M. Manchon's
system of lighting his cloth factory at

complete, the intense brightness being
due even more to the nearly entire sup

shop. The foremen, who are doubtless
- best able to Judge between the two
lights, since they never quit the building,
do not hesitate to declare that the cleo
trio light is much superior to that of
gas, and that they, as well as the female
operatives, are much less fatigued after
the long hours, by reason of the absence
