I TojifEo ran. I
By Judson Carlis!». f
At this period, when so ciany alli
! ances ere projected In tween the daugh
• ters of America's financial nabobs and
j the scions of European royalty, the
mind aa rurally reverts to possibly the
first, and undoubtedly the most famous
and romantic, marriage of this charac
ter that the social annals of this coun
try records.
Just a century ago lacking two years
Jerome Bonaparte, the brother of the
great XajH.leon. was on a pleasure tour
in America A dashing captain of the
French navy, bearing a name surround
ed by a halo of witchery which was
then exciting the Interest and awe of
the political world. youDg Jerome was
necessarily a social lion. While his em
peror brother was planning military
and diplomatic enterprises which were
destined to change the political geogra
phy of the world this unsophisticated
youth was unwittingly succumbing to
the winsome wiles of a brilliant and
ambitious vmerican girl soon to be
come his estranged wife—a woman
who. It has been bravely asserted,
would have changed the fortunes of
France had she been the consort of the
emperor himself. This girl was Eliza
beth Pattrrscn, the daughter of Wil
liam Patterson, of Baltimore, one of the
wealthiest citizens of this continent.
Vivacious, beautiful, accomplished, am
bitious, headstrong, she was accorded
the foremost place among all the belles
who graced the many social functions
at the national capital and other cen
ters in that historic period.
the first meeting of Jerome and Miss
Patterson. Soon the courtship excited
the attention of the young lady's fami
ly, and hrr father emphasized bis dis
approval by sending her away. Sepa
ration did not prevent frequent com
munication between the lovers, and tb«
determini-d young woman made known
her purposes to her irate father by
stating. ~I lore Jerome Bonaparte, and
I would rather be his wife If only for
one day tisn make the happieat mar
riage in thi- world." She soon returned
to Bait in. re. and within four months
after they nrst saw each other, oa Dec.
23, 1803, the youthful lovers were mar
ried by the Catholic bishop of Baits
more.
The wedding wai an International
iensation and was followed by festivi
ties and hospitalities planned on a roy
al scale. An extensive tour for those
days through the New England and
middle states was signalized by unex
ampled ovations in the fashionable
world. In the glamour and enthusiasm
of democratic festivities the eventual
ity of royal disfavor was sadly d!»-
counted.
The father of the bride had already
received warnings that the marriage
would not meet with Napoleon's sanc
tion and that his approval would be
necessary to any happy or peaceful al
liance.
The brother of the bride was Imme
diately dispatched to London and Paris
armed with necessary credentials from
Washington to lcvoke the aid of our
representatives abroad to effect a con
ciliation with Emperor Napoleon.
James Monroe, the minister at the
court of St. James, and Livingston at
Paris exhausted the agencies of di
plomacy in their efforts, but to no
avail. Proposals were made to the em
peror that a munificent bounty would
be provided for Jerome- Finally a
promised reconciliation was secured
from Jerome's mother and all the fam
ily except that most Important person
age. the emperor, who remained omi
nously silent This silence was pain
fully broken In about four months
when the emperor sent peremptory or
ders to the French consul general in
America to withhold Jerome's supplies
and prohibiting all French vessels from
receiving on board the "young person"
with whom Jerome was consorting,
lie sent word to Jerome that !f he
would return to France without Miss
Patterson "the error of the moment"
would be overlooked.
la the meantime the brother. Robert
Patterson, wrote home and warned
Elizabeth against coming to France, as
the wrath of Napoleon was very bit
ter. Before the warning was received
the young couple had already sailed
for Portugal. French and English
vessels, which bad for weeks watched
. for every ship which might possibly
have the young couple on board, wers
fortunately evaded.
Jerome left bis y.unz bride at Lis
bon and |w—m! to Paris alone. His

SL» never saw h*r husband bet once
after he left her at Usboa Years aft
erward Jerome was in the gallery of
tlie Pltti palace. in Florence, when
Mme. Bonaparte was also a visitor.
Jerome recognized her as sbe silently
walked by. and be whispered to his
other wife. Catherine. "That lady is
my foru.« r wife." Ths recognition was
mutual, but no words were interchang
ed. and they never saw each ether
again.
Her son developed a wouderful like
ness to his famous uncle, the emperor,
and sbe lived in the hope that the re
vival of the empire would reinstate
the Napoleonic dynasty and that her
son would be accorded his Just posi
tion In the royal household. When the
republic was overthrown In 1552 and
the empire re-established. she made a
desperate effort to secure tbe recogni
tion of the validity of her marriage
and tbe legitimacy of her son. Jerome
entered a plea to the council of state
demanding that "Jerome Patterson"
should be prohibited from using tl»e
name of Bonaparte. The council de
cided that he was a legitimate child
and entitled to the name, but did not
recognize him as a member of the
royal family.
Mme. Bonaparte lived to the ripe old
age of 94. aud her latter years were
characterized by eccentricities In
numerable By parsimonious economy
she accumulated a large estate, but
ber vitriolic temperament held at a dis
tance many who admired her beauty,
virtue and even ber vaulting ambition.
1 stood beside her grave only a few
hours after she was laid to rest, and I
could ant help contrasting her madly
romantic mesalliance with a royal
traitor with the sweet love matches
that have made tbe happy homes of a
great republic.—Sunny South.

Mr. Augustine Birrell once Incau
tiously purchased the works of Hannah
More. 19 fat volumes of them, for
something like J2 2C-. Tbey became a
nuisance, and he was puzzled as to
bow to get rid of them, "As for selling
them, it is not so easy to sell 19 vol
umes of a stone dead author, particu
larly if yon lire three miles from a rail
way station and do not keep a trap."
Mr. Birrell resorted to a desperate ex
pedient: "1 bad to do something, and

It Is the strain within tbe bow.-Is of
the working chamber, unnoticed gen
erally while there; the change od com

pressure the Mood Is forced away from
the extremities. It is driven from tbe

these conditions, climbs a long ladder.
He is in the airlock again, with the up

Jerks up tbe bottom door. With a tw Ist

God's sun and air come to the prisoner.
The reaction is too severe. The blood,

Once, years ago. when Daniel Web

for his cabinet to talk over this leak.
Ea-c-h man had a different Idea of it.
Finally Mr. Wel«t--r arose, saying.

NO JUNE DROP.
The CalliTmlcr and JSot the Plow
raed la a Jersey Orchard.
Many farmers leave their orchards
until all the other spring work, such as
sowing oats and planting corn, is fin
ished. Then about the Ist of June,
when a g -od sod has formed, tLey go
in and rip up and ridge up the soil
with tbe plow. This is. I believe, a
radically wrong method, for. in addi
tion to leaving unsatisfactory surface
conditions ♦alternate ridges and far
rows». the fibrous roots that are thrown
out for the sustenance of the fruit are
cut off. and the "June drop" and the
forced fruit of July almost invaria iy
follow. During tbe last five years on
3-C»» trees I have had no June drvp
and not a basket of forced fruit, and 1
have not ha-J a plow In ray orchard 'a
that time, but have used a cultivator
exclusively.
Some 12 years ago I contrived a cul
tivator, having in view two prin- ipal
objects—to relieve tbe team from tbe
annoyance of being driven cf se to the
trees and to save time by rapid work-
As the cultivator does not need to run
more than two or three inches deep,
the roots of the trees are but si ghtly
disturbed, the surface remains level,
less tendency to wash is noticed, the
■oil is kept free from weeds, and tlie
trees show a vigorous and healthy
growth.
All this is not secured by one culti
vation. We begin as early In tbe
spring as the ground and weather will
permit, and by the middle of July we
have gone through the orchard ?evi n
or eight times. After that we do no
more cultivating until the next spring.
I believe thorough cultivat n is s'—>
lutely ess- n'ial if you woold k -p y. r
trees vigorous and make them long
lived.—P. B. Voorbees.
