Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte,eldest son of the Emperor Napoleon'syoun ger brother, Jerome, died June 17th at Baltimore. This event will prob ably bring to a close one of the most remarkable lawsuits of the age ; it is another important • chapter In the strange, romance of which that re markable lady, Madame Patterson, still remains the central figure. it is a story which many of our raiders will be glad to recall. Sixty-seven years ago Jerome 80, , naparte, the youngest brother of Na poleon, arrived in New York. He had Joined.the Trench naval service, and accompanied his brother-in-law Oen. Le Clem to San Dotningo. While Le Clere WIN lighting Tous saint L'Overturo and the yellow fe ver, the first of Ivhom, it will be re inembekAltdeverelime by treachery, while the 'other overetine him by surprise, • Lieut. Jerome was driven by the English Navy to take refuge in New - York harbor. While his vessel was lying in the bay watched by English curisers, Jerome made a ' tour of the Eastern States as far South as Washington ' where he was preren ted to President Jefferson in October, 1803. At 'Baltimore he met Miss Elizabeth Patterson, daughter - of a wealthy merchant of that city, a .N:oung girl of 18. Her uncommon beauty attracted the attention of young Bonaparte, and won what lit tle heart ho posse•sed. The family positim and-connections of Jerome Bonaparte fired the ambitious heart. of Miss Patterson, and, a few- days after their first meeting, she readily accepted his offer to make her at once Madame Bonaparte and 'a member of the civil family of the Emperor. The betrothal was completed after a strange fashion of the day ut a grand ball given by young Bonaparte, at which Miss Patterson NM his part ner. 'During the dance he threw over her head a gold chain to which was attached a miniature likeness of hint self, set in diamonds, and the lady bore it otf• in triumph. Thus the engagement was made. Miss Pat terson's fitther,however,disapproved, and sent her away to - what was then known as the "wilds of Virginia." But as,Bonaparte gave further evi denal.of his attachmeut by sending letters to that seclude spot, her father relented, and brought her, home. The Spanish envoy was charged with the formal demand of her hand, the French Consul attested the, contract, and Bishop Carroll celebrated the' marriage ceremony on Christmas Eve; 1803. Jerome Bonaparte re mained in America for fully a year, visiting with his wife various parts of the country. When they were ready to go to Europe, Mr. Patterson fitted out the Erin, one of his own ves.sels, and in the Spring of 1805 they embarkfal, for Europe, cad. arrived safely at Lisbon. The happiness of Jerome and his bride was here suddenly brought to an end by the information that Na poleon 1., who bad advanced his brother with the design of making him useful in some matrimonial al liance with a Europem royal family, he was very mud] disgusted: with his marriage: He refused to recog nize the marriage, and forbade the. ruhnission of the wife to Trench ter ritory. The husband left her at Lis bon, and repaired to Italy to see the Emperor. It is probable that the young Lieutenant, still enamored of his beautiful wife, Made 'sonar efforts to obtaiu her recognition, but they were probably not very strenuous, and were certainly unveiling. lie did not return.tohis wife, but, yield, ing to Napoleon's orders, he married, Aug. 12, 1807, FrOerica Catherine, daughter of the King of Wurtemberg, and as a. reward was made, tax days after, King of Westphalia. His sub sequent fate-was,a fitting squel to the story. 'He offettaed brother by some neglect which disarranged the ltussiana raldpuigis or. 1811!, and was severely 'reprimanded and practiefily dismissed the service. .. Two vans later he had to fly from PurisilaCing his royal wife underarrest, and was forced to retire to Vienna; where he lived as Prince de Montfort!. When the empire was enteral to Paris, and died there in 1860. Forbidden to enter Fnuasi,'Mme. Patterson Bonaparte went to Hol land, but shortly alter retired to Cantberwell, England, where on Ju ly 7, ISO.i, Jerome Napoleon, thesub jmt of the present sketch, was born. For years she haunted Europe, find ing no opportunity. to obtain but never fulling on every occasion to assert her rights and those of hereon. Once, in the Pittl Palawat Florence, - - 77 she eatitiunteted Jerotriii and Idis nirti bat the 'coiddratible' tinea6?ci from the' presence of - the' proud women ho had wronged, Mad imtnediately left Florence. • ' N Madame Bonaparte returned to this 'United States with. her son during his boyhood, and he was reared ,at Baltimore. He entered Harvard Collee, and graduated from that In stitution in 1526. He studied for the bar, but , never practiced law. Ile was married in early llfe to Miss Williams, daughter of Benjamin Williams, originally of Boxburr, Maas., whose wife bye strange Coln eideace, died also Juno 17th. ,Durihg the reign of Louis Philippe Mr. Bo naparte was permitted to sojourn for a abort time In Paris. Mr. Bonaparte acquiredulargefortune withhis wife, and devoted hithself since his mar= large to the management of a large state.' On the reestablishment of Me Em pire, 1111852, the indefatigable mother again put forward her claims for recog nition., Prince Napoleon and 1)1s sister Mathilde , appeared as defend ants in the suit. An Imperial fami ly loaned, claiming to be , "the only isnripetent tribunal,", decided that svhiffo youtig Jerome Patterscin, iis Prince Napoleon ' insists on styling him, vas entitled to the name of Bo naparte, ho could not be coteddered as • one of the royal family. lie was per mitted to visit Fmnee, , beeame ve r y intimate with , lais father, who made hint a handsome allowance, and was ' roteived at the Court of Louis Napo leon. No recognition of the mother was, however, obtained." In 1880, the death of Jerome gave his wife an pportunlty for again pre seating her claims, and, with Berryer as her advocatc,she demanded, in tine Imperial Court, person's share of his father's property, and his rights. This suit has never been decided, we believe. ~ In his features, the ncpew, now Just dizid, bore a striking resemblancle to Napoleon I. - lie possessed the 'Same shape of the head,' and perfect regularity of features, bronzi3 counte nance and dark .eyes of the Teen/tar tint which distinguished Napoleon I. whom he also closely resembled in deportment. The deceased leaves a son, Jerome Napoleon, who gradua ted at West Point, and Is now an of ficer in the French army. THE HEADLESS MAN Believe in gohsts? Well, no ! I can't say I do: and yet something I saw in Virginia, one night during the war somewhat staggered me, and I have never known exactly what to think of it: I know, • though,, that Tom Fairfax would swear to there being host to his satisfaction on the sub ject. Tell it to you? Certainly I will; and maybe, you are so well versed in ghostly lore, you can explain what It was that we saw—not Tom and 'I alone, but hundreds of the boys, who were several days in the same place, and the whole picket lino saw it re peatedly. See if any of your German taphysical works will explain it. I ask, for it puzzles me. We were camped on some old fields near the edge of a dense wood that was remarkable for the want of un dergrowth: you could see away into the thick, cool woods, with nothing but the trunks of the trees to obstruct your vision as far as yoursight could The first night we camped there I was off duty, being ill ; we were on the alert, for we knew the enemy were not fur off, and were expecting to see them at any moment, and our sentries were thrown out to avoid surprise. I heard.the alarm during the night from the picket, and the stir in the camp, , but was too unwell to get up and see about it, us I found the alarm was not general, and the next morning laughed heartily at the tale of a ghost having driven in the pickets, but when the thing was re peated the ensuing night, I began to think someone was playing prun ed jokes—either the men or some one who wanted to passthe lines. On the third night. I was able to stand sentry Myself;and Toni Fair fax and I requested the colonel to put us on the road; he did so. and as Tom left one and went on ahead to the out er pest, he laughingly said : "Well, James, old boy, let's- find ont what material the ghost is made of if it wines toils to night. "All right; I'm with you," I re plied. `tit' he's flesh and blood I'd not like to be in his shoes, for I don't intend he shall make a fool of Inc." I forgot to mention that in a disS tame adjoining the field upon which we were encamped were the ruins of an old-time Virginia mansion that hail evidently been built in the settlement of the State; the main rued running through the wood led past this house, but it was not on that road that the spectre had been seen, but upon a by-road leading to an old mill on a rapid` and deep, and .*4l,' very narrow stream df water. It was a brilliant starlight night; the moon had sunk to rest, after showing her silver crescent to the ad miring gaze of those who‘lovod to look upon nature's beauties ; and, the light being steady find equal, 'one could see for a good distance. Fair fax was stationed near enough for me toeser his challenge'should any one copse that way. In talking the mat ter over we had both arrived at the conclusion that someone was trying to pass the lines, and we were deter mined to catch him if possible. As time rolled by and nothing came, gradually ceased to think of it ; and my thoughts reverted to home and its loved ones, doubly dearto me, and the form of a dear little, blue eyed darling,. who was awaiting my return with anxious, prayerful heart, was very, very palpable in my mind's eye; and so deeply was I absorbed that Tom's challenge of "who goes there? speak or I'll,llre on you! fell upon my ear without drawing my atten tion to it, till startle' by the report of his gun, and afters, moment'sideep silence a yell so thrilling that it curd led my blood. \ - Looking down the road, I saw running toward me on focit , to whose usual licitness fear had arlded,fightn ing speed,. Tom Fairfax, the daunt less hero of a hundred hair breadth escapes, and closely following after; him glided a singular looking blue light that seemed in the distance to be a column of flame about six feet high. As Tom reached me, he ex claimed, "Great God! James, what is it?" and fell in a dead faint at nay feet. ' As the thing• approached me, it took thesemblance ol a headless man, wrapped in a pale, blue flame that flickered in the nightair, just looking like little tonguts of lire licking the shape. Though startled nearly out of my senses, I waited till It was within live feet of me, and fired my gun right into its breast. The flame waved and opened, shot up a foot or two and then settled back into the flickering sheet of tire, and' the evil thing sped steadily past me toward the old mansion down the road. I turned to help Tom, and as I did so, some of the guard from the main road reached us, for, hearing the re port of his gun and his yell, followed by my . gun, they had not waited for orders, but hurried to our relief, and, they saw the thing as it passed on to the house. We carried Tom home to the camp, senseless, end a nice spell of brain fevet was the result of his fright, and it would take more reasoning powers than any one I ever heard. of possessing to: make Tom think there were not ghostg. None of the men would stay alone on that post, and a squad was left theie for the rtst of the night. I full determined to search - the old maa sion and make inquiresabout it ; but we moved our quarters in a - hurry next day, and I never knew the se cret of the headless man, and that road, or what scene of crime that old mill and the ruined mansion have shared between them.
