STORY OF A QUEEN.
A book bearing On . bourgeois family
Of Narseilles has just appeared-s fam
fly of whose daughters two became
queens, another . duchess, and . fourth
the wife of a marshal Of the empire.
The recent death Of Count Francois
CARY. ex-senator Of the empire, nat
urally brings up remembrances Of this
CARY family. which-except, Of course,
the Bonapartes-was, ON the whole, the
most distinguished Of the new families
created by the French revolution. Its
founder was also Francois Cary, q
wealthy merchant Of Marseilles, who
died in 1874, before the social fortune
Of his family had been dreamed Of. He
had two sons, one of whom succeeded TO
the business, and four daughters.
OF these, one married Baron Antoine
de St Joseph, a remarkable economist.
who belonged to a family Of magistrates,
and had distinguished himself by travels
and commercial combinations. He lived
1t Constantinople for ten years a head
Of Q commercial house, and finally pro-
iected q commercial alliance between
Russia, Poland and France, to develop
French commerce with the Black sea.
The idea was warmly taken up by Catha-
xine the Second, and was adopted. Tim
Der and other merchandise were brought
by the Dnieper, the Black e and the
Mediterranean to Marseilles in three
months. which, by the old route Of the
Baltic and the ocean, would have taken
three years to arrive. Antoine amassed
large fortune, and in 1855 was made a
baron.
One of his daughters married Marshal
Suchet, Duo d'Albufera; the other, the
Admiral Duo Decres, Napoleon's minis
ter of marine. Francois Clary's third
daughter, Julie, married Joseph Bona
parte, and was queen Of Naples and Of
Spain. The fourth daughter, Desiree,
married Bernadotte, and died queen of
Sweden. His niece-the sister of the
Just deceased Count Francois Clary-
married the Prince de Wagram, o Of
Marshal Berthier; and since then the
Carys have become allied with the
Hurats, the Niels, the Turennes, the La
Croix-Lavals and other distinguished
families, both Of the Imperialist and the
Legitimist aristocracy.
Baron Hochschild has recently pub
lished q little book, "Desiree, Refine de
Suedee ct de Norvege" paris: Plon, 1889.
As the author had seen much of the
queens circle at Paris when he was q
boy-his father being Swedish minister
there under the Restoration-and, as he
was subsequently for many years her
chamberlain, he Is able from her con-
versations and letters to tell us much
which is new and interesting.
Bernardine Eugene Desiree Clary was
born in 1871, and was early sent to q
c~onventual school; but her education
vas arrested by the suppression Of the
converts, and soon after her return home
her father died. She had but slight
recollections of her child life at home,
except when chance brought up some in
cident. On one of these she liked after
ward to dwell. There came, one day, to
her fathers house q quartermaster SER
geant, with . billet for quartering SOL
diera. As her father hated the row and
disturbance which soldiers generally
made. he sent him off with q letter to his
colonel asking for an officer OF two in
stead. The sergeant thus turned off was
Bernadotte.
In 1874, after her fathers death, her
elder brother was arrested. Her sister
in-law wa in despair, for the revolution
ary tribunals were terribly expeditions
She resolved, therefore, to 60 and see
the Deputy Albitte, and not wishing to
be alone, took Desiree with her. There
q crowd Of people in the waiting
room, and owing to Veariness, heat and
emotion, the little girl fell asleep. When
she woke up at the noise Of a door being
shut, she found herself in total darkness
except for a lantern shining from the ad-
joining room. As it turned out her sis
ter had hesitated to awake her when she
went in to see the deputy, and then, be-
ing in a great hurry to deliver the order
for her husbands release, had left her,
thinking she could easily find her way
home.
Meanwhile, I was somewhat fright
ened, not understanding at all my situa-
ton. when I perceived that I was no
longer alone. At the movement which
/ made, q man who came out Of the
deputy's room, approached me, and, look
ing at me with surprise, asked how I
came to be there al alone at that hour.
When I explained 10 him what had hap
pened, he treasured mo about the fate of
my brother and added: A little lady
like you cannot 60 alone in the streets at
night, % I will walk home with you
On the way home we talked so much
that We became very good friends. As
he went away, I said that my mother
would certainly like to thank him her
self for the care he had taken of me, and
begged him to call upon her. Then you
will present me to your family one Of
these days2 he said With ~pleasure,'I
replied; 'meanwhilAI should like to tell
them the name Of the gentleman Who
has protected me this evening" That is
perfectly right-you may tell them that
my name is joseph Bonaparte.'"
The call was made the next day; Bona
parte soon became intimate with the
CARY family, and before many weeks
had passed wasengagedt to marry Desiree
% soon a she should reach the age Of 16,
she being then only about IL. JOSEPH

who had just drawn attention to himself
at the siege Of Toulon. When soonafter
he came TO Marseilles he was taken to
