NAPOLEON's MOTHER.
The Only Member OF the Family
who Approached Madame
BOnaparte i'm Longevity.

The New York Times asserts that
while members of the Bonaparte family
attained longevity, not one of them APP
preached Madame Patterson-BOnaparte
in this regard except the mother of the
wOrld-renOwned s0Idicr. She was Cor
Sican beautiful and partriCian; was mar
ried TO Carlo Bonaparte-her maiden
name was Maria LetiZia RomalinO-at
the aye of seventeen and became the
mother of thirteen children, although
her husband died eighteen years after
their union.
Five Of her offspring died in infancy,
but the others became distinguished
through their all-conquering, crown
yrasping brother No woman of mod
ern times has had so kingly and prince
IL an issue. There were, in the order OF
birth, Joseph, King OF Spain: Napoleon,
Emperor OF the French; Lucien, Prince
of Canine; Maria Anna lafterward
named Elise, Princess of Lucca and
Piombino; Louis, King of Holland: Car
lOtta Marie Pauline subsequently,,
Princess Borgese; Annunciata Caro-
line, Queen Of Naples; Jerome, King OF
Westphalia and husband OF Betsy Pat
tersOn. She was widowed at thirty-tive;
lived for some time after at \ jaCciO, and,
when Corsica fell under British rule,
went with her children 10 MarSeilleS,
where she lived mainly on the pension
allowed To COrsican refugees.
After her son had become First Con-
sui she removed TO Paris, and, on his
ascending the throne, received the title
OF Madame Mere. She was surrounded
By luxury and pOmp, Tor which she had
no fOndness, and her constant sOlicitude
about her son, and her belief that his
glory could not last, rendered her the re-
verse Of happy. The divorce OF Jose
phinc, the terrible retreat from Russia,
the exile 10 Elba, the final overthrow at
Waterloo and the Punishment 10 II.
Helena she was o. them were heavy
blows; but she was prepared Tor them
they were the fOrebOdingS OF her ma
ternal heart. While the sun OF the Em-
perOrs fortunes was blazingin the zen
ith, she shivered under the shadow Of
lrer fear, and her fear was prophetic.
She witnessed the downfall OF every one
of her children. When Waterloo had
sealed NapOleOn's doom, she went To
u Rome; resided there with her step

spent the summers at AlbanO.
She bore her adversely with dignity
and resignation, and died in her eighty
seventh year, leaving considerable prop

She had seen more extraordinary
changes, more making of history, than
even her daughter in law, Madame Pat
