There was weak strain Of Spanisl,
blood in his father and mother. the In.
dian element largely prcdominating in
their characters. 1t was the custom then
as now for tho Indians OF the country to
be employed on the estates Of the aris-
tocrstic landowners. The Barrios fam
lily laborcd like all other poor Indian
families in the fields and lived in the
village made up Of the huts occupied by
the laborers on the estate. There was
little chance for boy born in such con-
disions to become anything better than
q toiler in the fields or herder of cat
tie. But Serapio Cruz, who became a
great general. was once q pig-driver near
the home Of Barrios, and his success no
doubt kindlcd the ambition of the In
dian.
Barrios determined to pick up an edu-
cation, and on account of his quick in
telligence and ambition he was assisted
to enter the University Of San Carlos,
whence he graduated as . lawyer. He
naturally drifted into the political con-
tentions which marked the stormy re.
gime, Carrers, and in 1867 with band
of devoted followers he organized . re.
volt. The government Of Guatemala At
the time was plutocracy in substance,
and the tax burdened rural population
rapidly rallied around the Indian leader.
In few months he was at the head OF
An army, flushed with success and ready
to follow wherever he led. The govern.
ment seized his brother and father, and
held them as hostages; but Barrios con.
tinucd his advance. His career was
brought to sudden stop by dangerous
wound that he received at this time.

cared for by an Indian named Nicolos,
whom Barios has since rewarded munifi.

Napoleon iii. Once - in Sing Sing
Prison. (Authentic.)
BY MRS. Z. r. BARRETT.

Noperson in modern history expert
enced greater rcverses in fortune, or
passed through more checkered scenes
than did Charles Louie Napoleon Bona
parte, third son Of Louie Bonapartc.
King Of Holland, and his Queen Hor-
tense, daughter Of Josephine Beauhar-
nais, the devoted wife of the first En-
peror Napoleon.
Unlike the Queen ii Scots, his mis-
fortunes did not begin with his birth.
On the contrary that event which took
place in Paris at the pnlalcc of the Tuil-
leries, April 20, 1903, was celebrated
with great rcjoicings throughout France,
as that of an heir born to the imperial
throne. After the restoration of the
bourbons he went into exile with his
mother and elder brother, who died in
his carly manhood, and devoted himself
to study. On tho death of Napoleon
H., Duke of Reichstadt only son of the
first emperor, which occurred July 22d.
1882, his ambitious hopes revived, and
from that time forward, his whole life,
speculative and practical, was devoted
to the realization Of what now became
his "dxed idea" that he would some day
become the sovereign of France.
In 1886, believing that his time to
strike had come, and relying upon the
manifest attachment to his person and
cause displayed by nearly all the demo-
cratic party, but more than all. trusting
in the grandeur Of those memories dear
to the French nation that his name re-
called, he with few associates planned
and made his famous attempt at coup d.
etdt at Strasbourg. 1t was a ludicrous
failure and caused many people to doubt
the judgment and talent of Louie Ma
poleon. He was taken prisoner under
very humiliating circumstances and car
ried to Paris, but Louie Philippe, who
was a coward, was afraid to bring a Bo-
naparte to trial because he could not re-
ly upon the impurtiality of French iu-
ry, therefore the offender was Skinned
to America.
at that period-1836-th memory of
the first emperor was comparatively
fresh in tho American mind, and the
charm OF his name was passport sufi-
cient to Introduce the banished prince
into the alluring circles of wealthy and
ettAtttpred society. His vsrietl- seeom

His check bones are high, his complex

The oldest son Of Barrios is being cd
ucatcd at West Point, New York, his
father evidently preparing him to take
the government when he lays down the
reins Of power.
In Guntenals, Barrios has been an
autocrat, though a somewhat benevolent
one, and it is because he has done so
much for the masses Of the people that
be now holds so strongya grip upon their
affections. He has quarrelcd with the
church authorities, br' has done much
to promote free common schools and the
extension Of railroads and telegraph

WAsHIkGTor. March, 31.-Among the
nominations sent into the Senate is that
OF II. q. Pearson to be postmaster at
New York. A gentleman very near the
PRESIDENT, and undoubtedly speaking
from actual knowledge, reports that the
reappointment of Mr., Pearson was made
after the most patient examination of the
facts connected with the charges against
him and his answer to the same, which
was yesterday submitted to and read by
the President. The appointment, there
fore, may be considered complete vim
dication of the postmaster. The New
York postofficc is the largest and most
important in the-country, and is of in
terest to all the people and especially to
to the vast business and vast enterprises
contained in the metropolis. 1t is to-
day considered an illustration Of the
successful application OF civil service
reform principles to An immense govern
mental establishment. t'This condition."
added the gentleman above referred to,
has been brought about very largely
by the intelligent effort Of Mr.. Pearson,
and he is thus identified in the closest
manner with this example of the sue
cess Of reform. TO retain him insurcs
faith and confidence in a movement
which would receive shock from his
removal. His retention was earnestly
requested bya large number of busi-
ness men of the city, both democrats
and republicans, and very generally by
the Independent republicans, who dISdI
such good service in support Of the dem.
