B.rras and Beauharnais.
1t seems that a few days later 1t was the
turn OF Mime. de Beauharnais TO come and
eonfide in Ba-ras. We quote his description
OF the interview: ''Actuated as she was by
motives of interest, she did not display
any reserve, and, confessing them to me at
the very outset of her visit, she began by
declaring in the plainest terms that no I'M
pulse OF the heart was at the bottom OF
this new bond; that little 'puss in boots,
she said was assuredly the very last man
she could have dreamed OF loving. as he
had no expectations
"Since 1 do not love him. you can I'M
derstand my going into this business le
Is you l shall ever love, you may depend
upon IL; Rose will always be yours, ever
at your disposal You have only TO make
sign, but l know full well that you no
longer love me-" she proceeded, suddenly
bursting into flood of tears, which Bar
ras insinuates she had the power Of sum-
moning at pleasure. This is what grieves
me most; never shall console myself for
it, do what 1 may. When one has loved q
man like you. Barras can one never know
another attachment The author says
that he replied with very little emotion,
and almost laughing: "How about Hoche!
You loved him above all others, and yet
there was the aid-de-camp, Fanakre,
tutti quaint! Come, DOW, you are a
mighty fine cajoler" Barras AYERS that
this answer took her breath away. and,
unable TO utter any response in the face or
such positive facts, she contentsd herself
with shedding some more tears, seizing
my hands with Ill her might and carrying
them 10 her eyes. / was getting tired OF

SO as to have my valet as third party.
This compelled her TO cease; Nine. Beau

to play several parts at ono and the Same
time. She told my valet that she had sud
denly felt poorly, that her nerves troubled
her, and that on such occasions she could
not hold back her tears"

Why does the author cite on this occa-
sion the evidence of two witnesses, valet
and an aid-de-camp? Because he wished
to Route the version which Josephine
chose to give OF the same interview.
The account of the manner in which
BOnaparte received this story cannot easily
be reconciled with the shocking charge
that he was privy TO the Haison of Barr,ls
with Josephine. The author says that he
listened with no small emotion To this
lying concoction, worthy, indeed, of the
most artful OF women, but whom he, art
full as he was himself, looked upon as an
angel of candor and truth. All this mado
such an impression on him that he few
