JEROME DONAPARTE'S AMERI-
CAN MARRIAGE.

Jerome Bonaparte. afterward King of
Westphalia, during the Napoleonic ascen-
dency, was undoubtedly sincerely attach
ed to his wife. But Napoleon, who was
in the eyes of court circles in Europe q
parveDu emperor, although the only real
ly imposing royal figure of his time, was
naturally careful of all the proprieties of
sovereignty, and one of the first of these
is that the head of the reigning house
must approve the marriage Of the mem
bers. He consequently condemned Je-
rome's marriage; and after little con-
test with his brothers imperial viii, Je-
rome yielded and abandoned his wife,
and was rewarded with military and na-
val commands, and the throne of West
phalia. Madame Patterson herself
sought divorce, and her action has been
always thought strange, as she was a
lawful wife of unsUllied character, and
the Pope had refused to annul her mar
rage, which was strictly canonical Tt
is not impossible, however, that her
admiration of Napoleon and her con-
sciousness of the impossibility of shak-
ing his viii, joined with an indomitable
pride which made her scorn to be de-
| serted but passive wife, may have deter
| mined her resolution. 1t was better to
be wholly and lawfully free-better, even
II she had no other counsellor than am
bition. When Jerome complained that
she was willing to receive aid from his
brother Napoleon, but not from him, she
Is said to have replied that she preferred
shelter beneath the wing of an eagle to
suspension from the pinion of a goose.
Once, after the separation, she met Je-
rome. 1t was in the gallery of the Pitt
Palace, in Florence, and his royal wife
was with him. Jerome said to the Prin-
cess, THAT lady was my former wife. y
Madame Patterson said only, cit is

A STOWAWAY'S SAD FATE.

The longshoremen engaged in dis
charging the steamer Canada, OF the
National line, came upon the dead body
OF a man, apparently q young mechanic
lying Oh bales of wool on the starboard
side of No. 8, or top deck. His eyes
were open and every muscle of his face
showed that he had died in agony, pro-
bably from suffocation. From letters
found in his possession it was ascertained
that his name was John Battersby, and
that he lived at No. 8, Dorset Street,
London, England. He had been ont Of
work for long time and had made up
his mind to emigrate to this country,
but had no money. While the Canada
was loading at London, Battersby con-
cealed himself Ill the hold. A box of
sardines was found unopened in one of
his pockets. He had q temperance card
winch showed that he had taken the
pledge in December, 1873, card show
ing that he was subscriber to the libra
ry of the corporation of the city of Lon
don, and post Office order for 81 on q
Boston office.
The Canada sailed on Saturday, April
10. The following day FIVE stowaway's
were discovered on board; three among
the cargo. They were all set to work
On Sunday night Capt. Sumner made
an inspection of the lower decks. The
latch of the hold in which Battersby
was concealed was open. Instructions
were at once given to nail it down.
While this was being done Battersby
must have been asleep, unconscious or
Frightened to death. He made no noise.
The next day some of the seamen were
arranging part OF the cargo which had
shifted around the hatch of hold in which
the stowaway was imprisoned. They
made good deal of noise, and Batters-
bys cries, if he did cry, were not heard.
After the hatch was closed he had no
chance of life. He could not move
about with any freedom, the space be-
tween the cargo ana the deck being only
wide enough to allow him to crawl about
on his hands and knees. He had preci-
Gus little air to breath either. The
steamer arrived here on Sunday last.
DR.. Lynch, the ships surgeon, thinks
that the mans sufferings were mental
rather than physical. The appearance
of the body does not support the theory
that he died from starvation. He must
have suffered II great deal from thirst,
for he could not get any water in the
hold and he had not provided himself
with any before going on board. He
had letter of recommendation from
John Bennion, in which he is described
as good, sober and industrious me-

4 JERSEY ROMANCE.

Philadelphia Press: When John L en-
wick, who purchased OF Lord Herkley the
counties of Salem and Cumberland, n.
J., came to this country in 1878, he
brought with him from England his
daughter Elizabeth Fenwick. She sub
sequentIy married John Adams, by
whom she had q daughter, Mary Adams.
Mary vas a bright and Intelligent child,
and was the idol of her grandfather, the
proprietor of the colony, John Fenwick.
Among those who also accompanied Fen
wick to this country was colored SER
want, John Gould by name, who was
rather more intelligent than the average
of his race at that time. Being thrown
together, the colored servant began to
adore the white grandchild of the pro
prietor of the colony. The love must
have been reciprocated, for before the
young lady reached twenty the two We're
clandestinely married, and purchasing q
tract of land III Cumberland county,
removed thereon. Fenwick was of
course indignant at the action of his
beloved grandchild, and never forgave
her for the act. In his will he directed
his executors ''to bar Nary Adams from
having the least part of his estate, as well
as her heirs, forever, except the Lord
open her eyes to see her abominable
transgression against Him, me, and her
poor father, by giving her true repent
ance and forsaking and renouncing vt
black vt hath been the ruin of her, and
becoming penitent for her sins, upon vt
condition only | do will and require my
executor to settle 500 acres of land upon
her, the said Mary Adams" Soon after
the decease of Fenwick, Ann Adams
husband, John Gould, also died. 1t is
handed down by tradition that soon
after her colored husband was laid in the
grave she went into the graveyard and
forsook her husband by saying loudly to
those who had there assembled. 'I do

Gould, nee Adams, Of course got her 500
acres of land, and it was upon this tract
that Gouldtown of to-day is built. Her
children of whom she had many, were
intelligent, and after their mothers death
the property was divided equally among
them. Even to this day the English
blood can be traced and readily seen in
the present generation of Goulds. They
mako it rule to marry only among
themselves, and proudly refer to the
English blood in their veins. Gould.
town is a large colored settlement, and
the inhabitants arc honest in all the
word implies. Some of the Goulds have
held public Offices il the county, and
their schools are large and the attend
anee always great. Such is the history
of Gouldtown.

MEDICUS POLlTICUS.

Apropos of the organization of the
present House of Representatives, where
parties were SO very closely divided, the
importance of skill in ones medical at
tendant is forcibly illustrated. The ply
sician attending Representative Acklen
in Washington, DR.. Garnett, is stout
Democrat. Somebody asked him if it
was true that his patient was dying.
Dying" calculated the doctor; "Go you
think I'd let a vote die when we have
only oue majority, and no time for a
special election to fill the vacancy? Ere
busi no! I'd take his medicine for him
and die myself firs..''

CITY OF QUITO.

When Philo White, then of Racine,
was appointed by President Pierce Z.
S. Minister to Ecuador, the capital of
which is Quito, he congratulated himself
that ho had been appointed to ''the high
est position in the gift of the president.
The city of Quito is thus described:
Except the plains of Central Asia, Ecua-
dor is the highest table land upon the
earth. Quito is 5000 feet above the sea;
placed by the side of Boston or New
York, it would seem as if lifted above the
clouds. 1t is 1000 feet higher than the
hospice of st. Bernard, the loftiest dwell
ling place in Europe. Its flowers are
beautiful and bloom all the year. No
reptiles nor insects disturb its repose;
poisonous snakes are UNKNOWN; even the
mosquito never reaches these lofty re-
gions. But far up above the clouds, in
the midst of the finest climate, the rarest
skies of untarnished brilliancy, one fatal
clement is mingled with the scene to
prove forever the helplessness Of man:
the earthquake and the ever active vol
canoes are the chief features OF life in
Ecuador. Above Quito rises the cease
less smoke Of its Pichincha, down whose
horrible crater, ever threatening ruin to
the nation, the traveller looks with never
sated awe. "Thore, says Orton, s'you
see frightful opening in the earth's
crust nearly mile in width and half a
mile deep, and from the dark abyss
comes rolling up cloud of sulphurous
vapors." Twenty volcanoes of enormous
size, presided over by Cotopaxi and
Chimborazo, encircle the valley of Quito
and brood like giants of destruction over
the peaceful scene. Chimborazo is
monstrous dome, twice as high as Etna,
covered with a crown of perpetual snow.
Its great proportions are best seen from
the Pacific, as the voyager sails along
the dangerous shore. Its sides are riyeu
by deep valleys, compared to which the
Alpine Wales are shallow crevices or riffs.
Around is magnificent dome of snow,
where mortal foot has never trodden,
only the whlte-condor IS seen floating III
the transparent air. Cotopaxi is an act
i've volcano, sending out It's perpetual
smoke; at night it seems crowned with
fire-a blazing torch on high; sometimes
it breaks out into fierce and terrible erup-
tions. These giant mountains are so
huge and tall that IGtna and Vesuvius
would seem pigmies at their side; they
encircle the fertile plains of Ecuador rs
if to hide its people in q happy vale. It's
only peril is the earthquake. One Sunday
morning i'll August, 1868, there was a
slight tremor of earth, a sudden shock,
and within a single minute whole pro
vince was laid in ruins. Cities, towns,
houses factories, fell together. At one
town alone 5000 persons perished.
Houses were thrown into the air; cot
ton factory-sole proof of progress-was
dashed to pieces, and proprietor killed.
Huge chasms opened in the cultivated
land; the roads were broken up; torrents
of mud and water flowed down the sides
of the mountains; carrying away mules
and cattle. Quito suffered slightly, but
Otavalo was left desert, and the wreck
of the great earthquake has never been
repaired.

AT THE GATE.

And where were you just now, Mable?
Where have you been so long?
The moon is up, and all the birds
Have sung their evening song:
| saw you lettering down the path.
So lonely and So late,
Beyond the well and liiac bush,
And hanging Icy the gate.
Hove TO hear the birds, mother,
And see the rising moon;
And. Oh, the summer air is sweet
Beneath the SKY Of June.
Ny COW is MIXED, my hens are cooped,
and washed are cup and plate,
And so l wandered out a while,
To hang upon the gate.
The gate is by The road, Mabel,
And idle folks go by,
Nor should maiden brook the glance
Of every stranger eye.
Besides, thought l saw cap
I'm sure you had a mate;
So tell me who was with you, child,
Just hanging at the gate.
Now you know just as wcll, mother,
Twas only Harry Gray,
He spoke such words to me tonight,
KNEW not what to say;
And, mother, Oh. for your dear sake,
only bade him wait:
And mayn't run and tell him now?
He's hanging at the gate.

She came as gentle as a brindle mule

this country left to raise a half crop Of

A lock of a mans hair in a lady's fin

THE NEXT CENSUS.

Gen. Walker, Superintendent of the
next census, tells a reporter of the New
Haven Register that the main body of
the work will be undertaken next fall
There will be two or three months of pre-
paration, and the census itself will be
taken in months time. The statistical
matter in reference to the population OF
cities and towns he will give the public
in very short time. The last census he
gave in printed form III 1872; this time
the period will be much shorter. He
contrasts this work with previous cen
suses, which were of little practical value
The census taken in 1860 was nominally
published in 1857, but really not till
1868. The census taken in 1850 was not
published till 1859. There was nothing
but historical interest to work done in
that way. The country was growing and
the population changing so rapidly that
such censuses were far from the actual
state of the country when published.
The new census law, he said, put extra
work on the Superintendent. The month
the census was being taken lie likened to
battle, when the General must be at
his headquarters. Having taken one
census, he was better qualified to take
another. for he knew what improve ments
to make. This was one reason why he
could complete the census much more
rapidly than before. When the work
was being done he could be at Washing
ton with his fingers on the telegraph
keys, so that if there were break here
or there it could instantly be repaired.
There are certain disagreeable people
in this world who seem to take special
delight in annoying others by reminding
them Of things they would willingly for
get. They are human thoTns, forever
torturing their fellow men for the sake
Of torture. Has q man met with misfor-
tune in business, they are forever recall
ing the fact. Has a man in times that
are gone wandered into devious raths,
they are forever reminding him of it,
often by congratulating him that that is
past. Has a man blundered, they are
forever telling him what "might have
BEEN" When the Thorn is of the mas
culine gender, there is one way of getting
relief. He can be knocked down and
taught manners. When the Thorn is of
the masuline gender, the case is different
and not so easily disposed of. But Cau-
seur hears of one such scourge IN petit
coats who got her deserts the other eve
ming. 1t was at little party, where
some score of people were gathered to-
gether, The Thorn sat near a young
man who, in days gone by, had been
guilty of follies that cost him dearly.
He had put them all behind him. But
the Thorn took occasion to recall them,
in subdued and confidential tone. The
victim, who had been subjected to the
same torture before, spoke up so that all
could hear. Madam, he said, '.for five
years L have been trying to forget all
that. You have been trying to remem-
Der it. You have succeeded better than
l. l congratulate you" The Thorn
subsided.
