SISTERS OF NAPOLEON.
Faulty OF the wife OF Murat and Her
Gross Ingratitude.

Faulty OF the wife OF Murat and Her
Gross Ingratitude.
OF the three sis tiers of Napoleon,
says Pasquier in the recently pub
lished first volume of his Memoirs,
the eldest almost reigned in Tuscany
under the title OF grand duchess.
She made herself beloved there, and
this fortunate province owed to her
treatment denied all other countries
then united with France. She has
left pleasant memory behind her,
in spite OF the Irregularities of her
private life, which she did not take
sufficient caro- to conceal
The Princess Pauline, wife OF Prince
Borghese, was perhaps the most
beautiful woman of her time. and
she hardly dreamed OF giving promi-
nence to any other advantage than
this one. She had been to Santo
Domingo with her first husband,
Gen. Leclerc. The sun Of tho
tropics had. they do say. been as
t)nished at the ardor of her dissipa-
tion. The fatigue consequent upon
such an existence shattered her
health and for a long time she was
carried about in litter. In spite
OF poor health she was mono the less
beautiful.
1t remains for me to speak of Car
oline, the wife OF Murat and queen
Of Naples, who bore great resem-
blance to the emperor. Less beauti-
full than Pauline, although endowed
with more seductive charms, sho
possessed the art, without being any
more scrupulcus than her sisters, of
showing greater respect for the
proprieties; besides, all her tastes
vanished in the presence of her am.
bitlon. She had found the Naples
crown somewhat too small for her
head and greatly coveted the Span
ish one, but in the end she became
resigned to her fate, and wore with
good grace the one which had fallen
to her lot; it may even be said that
she did so with no little amount Of
dignity.
She was insane enough to believe.
that her fortune could withstand the
catastrophe which swept away that
of Napoleon. In that extraordinary
race the most sacred engagements.
the deepest affections, went for moth
ing as soon as political com binations
seemed to advise it. Nevertheless,
each one Of its members possessed to
the highest degree the family spirit
Caroline took a hand in bringing
about the downfall of her brother. to
whom she owed all her grandeur. 1t
is perhaps she who dealt him the
final blow.
