THE CREAM CHEESE
Two travellers occupied a first•clnss car on
the railroad from Corbeil to Paris,;(a man a
bOut thirty years old, and a lady *lio might
have passed for ten years younger, though the
baptismal register proved
.her to bo twenty
five. It was a bright morning its June, not a
cloud veiled the deep blue tligheavens, and
the i sun, shining obliquely; through the win•
dow, inundated witlyits•ra the side where
LIM lady was seated.
" The sun inoduimodes you, madtime," said
the gentleman'; "I should be happy to ex
change place's, if it would be agreeable to you."
The lady showed by a smile and bow that
she was pleased with hit( courtesy.
am exceedingly obliged to you, sir, but
I cannot ride backward. It is . not for my
self either, that I fear the sun, but for this
bat,ket."
r ,She pointed. to a charming little piece of
. wickerwork on the seat beside her, beneath
the cover of which the edges of home vine
leaves peeped out.
"The sun does not injure fruit, madame;
and this appears, besides, sufficiently protect
ed."
"It is not fruit, sir ; there is only a 'simple
cream-elutes° in the basket ; but I should bo
distressed if it did not arrive in Paris perfect
ly fresh." - '
Then, as no be certain that she had not
compromised herself in talking with a stran
ger, "To whew have I the honor to speak ?"
she added, taking care, however, to conceal,
by a smile; the distrust which suggested the
question.
" To a future inhabitant of Corbeil, mad
ame. , I have recently purchased a house
there, and have just completed its furnishing.
My nameqs Delannoy."
The lady inclined her head with a satisfied
air. There was no great information, it is
true, in the , name of Delannoy ;
but it was
evident to her that a man who had bought
a house must be respectable.
llelannoy thought. that ho ; had a right to ask
a question in his turn.
"Does'madame resid t Corbeill"
"Yes, sir."
" I shall be happy if property is in the
-neighborhood of madame. It is situated in
the Itue de Quatorze." •
"Indeed, sir! We should have been neigh
bors six months ngo.• 01 occupied al,that tins
the first story of the Nogenlet mansion. 'No
genlet is the name of my husband's family."
" Madame is married then ?" •
"I am a widow, sir." -
Delannoy looked more closely at. Madame
Hugonlot. He observed that she had glossy,
black hair; expressive oyes, ruby lips, which
disclosed two magnificent rows of pearls, a
small white hand ; in short, that she 'was a
very pretty widoW. • •
" The sun is shining full upon your bas
ket," ho remarked, after completing his ob•
serration; "alloow• me to place it upon my
seat."
,„
It would have been difficult to refuse, for
the hand of Delannoy, more prompt than his
word, had effected the change before he had
completed the offer.
. "So molt trouble about a cheese! lam
afrtfid that I.seem very ridiculous to you ; but
I have an -old hunt in Pails, Rue de Varennes,
whom I love like a mother, and who is very
fond -of these elieeees,- which ,are niade in
grent,perfection in the neighborhood of Cot ,
beil. 1 never visit her without carrying qno
with me and I am onturally anxious that she
— should receive it-ft:Weedy fresh."
- papma WOR. Tam we a? ammo.
" It 'only justifies, madame, the opinion one
would form on looking at you."
An examination ofafew•seconds hadeltown
Isfp.dame s Nogenlet that her complimentary
neighbor had a pleasing face and
. a fyie form.
" Is it a permanent dwelling,or .only as a
summer residence, that; monsieur has pur
chased a house iitour village 7"
"I do not know as yet, madame.' It will
depend upon , the effect which a change of air
may produce upon the health of my wife."
." All I monsieur is married I"
The conversation „became more languid.
Perhaps Madame Nogenlet found, some cause
for tagret in.the' information she had just ere
oeived; perhaps Delannoy discovered that
there was danger in becoming too Intimately
acquainted with a widow as attractin as Mad
ame Nogenlet. But these details are foreign
to our story'. • •
• The train stops. It is the station of ChOiSla
le Roy. Madame Nogenlet Ulcers a cry of
surprise. Among the persons who awaits the
arrival of the train, she recognizes a boarding
school friend whom she has lost siglit of for
several years. She alights hurriedly.. She
can go on by the next train.—A (inlay of an
hour and a half will not do any harm to her
old aunt.
Delannoy remains alone in his compartment
of the car. While he is congratulating him
tielf upon having coine out with honer from
this lierilous rencontre; his eye falls upon the
basket of the pretty widow. In her eagerness
to hasten after her friend; Madame Nvgenlet
has left upon the seat the precious cheese, the
object of so much solicitude. Ilappily, she
has given her name to Delannoy. She 'has
even indicated the dwelling of her aunt, for
'when ,the cheese is destined. Delannoy can
do no less than harry toe basket to its address.'
It is an. imperious duty of politeness, which
it weld be impbssible,for a well-bred man to
neglect.
That he may not, in his turn, forget the
basket, Delannoy places it on his knees, and,
while thinging of matters and things in gene
ral, half mechanically, he raises the lid. Per
haps he had a litthi desire'to see the physieg•
notny of this precious cheese. We 'must not
.imagine that curiosity is the exclusive
privi
lege of the daughters of Eve.
The parting vine leaves allowed him to per:
ceivo a golden surface ofa very temptingehar•
actor ; -but his attention was ,klOOll diverted
front this to the corner of a sheet of paper, in
which the cheese appeared to liave been at
first wrapped. Out this corner there is a sig
nature, and it is that of Valentine, his wife.
"This is a singular occident," ho said to
himself, "and, tvhat is more singular, is, thixt
Valentine has never spoken to mo• of" this
Madame Nogettlet, with whom, however; she
is•corresponding,"
A simple signature cannot satisfy him.—
"Let us see, then, in what terms my wife
writes to thisiady."
H i- lie half turns the cheese, and soccoods in
d4nelting thd,paper. It i onty a.fraginent,
containing on one side, two lines of the third
page of the letter, proceeding the signature,
and on the other a portion of the address. Two
lines only! Yet these two tides suffice to
draw front Ilium' dry of surprise and_intligna-
Lion :
I shall novor forgot bow kind you have boon to me
uuder all clreunstaacoe.•
" My love le thine forever
On the back is written, "To MoOsieur —,"
The rest of the address is wanting.
" No matter," he cried, yembling with rage,
"tho guilty wife must be putiished first. I
shall find means afterwards to reach the nor
complice."
The train stops at its destination. Dolan
noy, holding in one hand gm basket of Mad
ame Nogenlet, and pressiq -convulsively in
the other the tell-tale paper.. jumps into a
conch and soon arrivesutt his dwelling, where
his .wire is awaiting him. fie had sent on be
fore, Marlette, the servant, to inform her that
the house was ready, and that he should-come
himself - for - her - inilureeurse of the day:
'The young wife remarks,
with terror, the
strange expression of her husband's counte
nance. ,
" What has happened, my love ?" she ex-
claims.
You will soon know, madame ; but, in the
first place. answer. my 'questions. Do you
know any one at Corbeil ?"
The eyes of Delannoy darted such lightning
glances that 'Valentino remained a moment
atupified..
"Remember," be resumed, "that 1 mus
know the whole truth, and it will be useless
to attempt tb deceive me.. When I decided to
remove to Corbeil, in preference to any other
place, it was owing to your entreaties. 'There
must have been a reason for those entreaties,.
and that reason I will know.—Well, madame!
bow long must I wait for your answer ?"
" If I have hesitated for a moment„' replied
Valentine, with the most perfect calmness,
"it is because I was trying to understand the
reason of your questions, and your evident
anger. I know no ono at, Ciwbeil. I begged
you to remove there because many persons re
commended the Ornate as very healthful."
You lent', then ?"
"Deny what Your questions aro perfect.
•
ly enigmatical,"
..I will enlighten you, madame. n
piece of paper which comes from Corbeil."
Delannoy unfolded the paper an 4 placed it
before Valentino.
" IYo'ou recognize this litindwriting?"
•4 It is mine."
"Yes, your writing, madame. 1 did not
need your confession to be sure of it. And
you pretend to know no one in a place where
some one lives to whom you write—' My hive
is thine forever!"'
" No ono, I repeat it ; and I cannot undt,i
stand -"
"Enough, madame. I will hear no •more.
There is no possibility of justification. As I
have a horror of scandal, 1 shall endeavor to
control my indignation„., I , wish no violent
scenes or disgraceful lawsuits. I will show
great indulgence, tut it is on two conditions :
within twenty-four hours you will leave my
house and return to your family, and you will
tell me instantly the name of the scoundrel to
whom this letter is addressed."
" Sir," replied Valentino, with an air of
dignity, '.you are not in a condition to listen
to me and I confess, besides, that I am not
able at present to justify myself. I cannot
deny my eignalure, and these lines were also
written by• my hand. There is a mystery
about it Which I cannot understand, and to
which I am obliged, at present, to yield. Your
first command shall be obeyed. To morrow I
will seek an asylum with my mother ; but my
obedience can go no further. Whatever right
the law may give you over ine, it does not au•
thorize you to require an, impcssibility."
Delannoy was confounded. lle had not ei-•
pealed such audacity in a woman who had al
ways hitherto appeared perfectly. gentle, and
even timid. Ile shut himself up in his cham
ber, and gave full vent to his rage. Death
—death alone could revenge him upon the
wretch who had ruined his happiness. • How
could lie discover that name which Valentine
refused to disclose? Ho would giviS half his
fortune to know . it . . Should he apply to Mad
nine Nogenlet 'l—Perhaps she was ignorant of
the existence of the letter; but, then, how did
it come into her possession ? Ills excited im
agination soon ihvented a fable to account for
this. Madame Nogenlet was pretty, and a
widow, with .no doubt, many admirers—her
choice had fallen upon some I.ovelnee—a lost
letter had revealed-to her his infidelity—there
hod been a quarrel, then a reconciliation, on
condition of the sacrifice of the corresponden
dence. Other letters were, undoubtedly, in
the hands of the widow. . '
So convinced -does Ito-at length become of
the reality of hislancies,' that lie determines
to go directly to Madame Nogenlet.' The bas-

His determination is immediately carried
into effect. After a few: inquiries ,the house

"How very kind of you sir, to take so much
trouble to repair the effects of my inexcusable
carelessness ! My poor aunt will bo delight
ed. You cannot imagine the pleattire which
the return Of this basket gives me."
"I am very happy if it is so, as I trust it
will lead you to some indugence inmy favor."
He then related simply that he had not been
able to resist the temptation of a peep at the
cheese, and the result had been the discovery
of a piece of paper, on which were writted
the line—" I shall nevdr ,forget," etc., etc.
"Indeed!" said Madame Nogenlet laughing;
"was . this en the envelope of Any cheese? A
love letter ! It is charming I What •a pity
that there is only , the end of it."
" The commencement cannot bo far off."
• " Do you think so ?"
,
Madame, the impudent person'who wrote
those lines—who never should have written
them—belongs to a respectable family. with
whose friendship I am honored., You will
easily understand that the "entire letter must
be of a still more compromising character,
especially if the writer is=a married woman."
I can imagine that such a passage would
not sound, pleasantly in the ears Oh. husband "
" How the letter came into yonr hands
with others, perhaps—l have certainly no
right to ask, but permit me to represent to
you the grief which this secret, if, digulged,
Would excite in a respectablo fatni!y._ Let me
supplicate you, madame, to make the gener
ous sacrifice of this letter—or railer of thoso
letters—U is to bo presumed that there aro
others."
Madame Nogenlet looked at him with some
surprise. •
•• It would give into the greatest pleasure,"
she said, 4• to oblige you, if it were in my
power; the kindness I have received front you
is assuredly worth a few scritps of paper;' but,
unfortunately, the one you have shown me is
the only one that has been in my possessiou - ;
and that wae_without my knowledge."
"Then I was mistaken in my conjectures,"
cried Delannoy, in a tone of vexation.
"And does this trouble you month?"
4 4 Assuredly. What can I do, now ? To
whom can I apply?"
.4. To the grocer who sold me the cheese, at
Corbeil, Rue St Spire."
.4 True. I did not think of thnt I will go
there immediately. A thous:lad par;lons, mad

The impatience of Delannny hod yet to suffer
one trial. When Im arrived at the railroad
station - the train fur Corbeil had jot left., and
he was obliged to wait two hours. While ho .
was waiting, a train arrived from Corbeil, and
one of the first percents who steppedAut of the

her. lie stepped into a car, and in an hour
was at the grocer's, in the line-St. Spiro.
"Madame," he said to the woman who stood I
behind the counter, " you have a stock-of old
papers in which you wrap ujiyour goods - . Ilow
much are they worth ?"
The.woman looked across her spectacles

" Perfectly, sir ; but it would be difficult to

" If I should offer you twenty francs would

"Sir? „ • •
" Hold, here are forty ; if you will give
them to me immediately, without .excepting

The train from Paris to Lyons stopped at
the Station of Joigny, a town upon the route,
and after leaving a few passengers, again
went on. The station, for a moment crowded
with railway porters and lookers on, was soon
deserted by all but two individuals. One of
them was an old Man dressed in the'garb of
a well•to•do farmer, who seemed to be wait
ing for some one to meet him.—To this per
son the old man presently addressed himself.
"May I presume, sir," said hp, "to inquire
if you are Clement B?'. . .
"Yes, my good man," replied the Oath,
with a hautiness of manner, 'and I have no
doubt you are Mr. Mania."
"At your service, sir," replied the other
" Well, Mr. Martin," eontinued Clement,
in the same tone, "I began to imagine you
intended to keep me waiting. That would
not have been the best manlier in which to
have insinuated yourself on my good graces."
The old man instead of replying, let his
band'fall upon his breast as if in deep afflic
tion 'and conducted the new coiner towards
a large old-fashioned carriage, to which a
very rough looking horse Was harnessed.
"Here is your carriage, sir," said Martin,
"if you will be good enough to get. in, I will
have the honor of conducting you to the Her-
initag,e."
"That my carriage, sir?" said Clement
"Why, I shall be taken for a travelling piid
icr."
But a few days yore, Mr. Clement 8.,
who_n_o_w_pt on so , many fine airs, was a situ.
ple.clerk in a crockery warehouse in Paris,
and possessed the reputation of being a quiet
unpretending little fellow. What, then, had
brought about this sudden and radical trans•
formation? He had become, since the pro
vious day, a rich man, and it inky be well
understood that the possessor of an income)
of twenty thousand francs a year,- Gilds it

Ing the large piles of crockery under his
charge, a letter arrived for bins by the post
conveying to bins the, startling intelligence
that one of his uncles, of whom he had often
heard Us an 'eccentric and very wealthy old !
man, but whom lie had.never seen, had just
died at his residence in Burgundy, leaving
his nephew, Clement, sole heir to his estates
to the exclusion of many other heirs.
The letter was from a notary in the pro.
vi nee, .wbo_desired. him. to leave Paris. &Joe,.

uncle had resided, where he would be met
by Mr. Martin, an old 4 confidential servant of
the deceased, and conducted from the rail
road' to the .• Hermitage," .the name which
the deceased, had given to the estate.
Almost driven out of his senses by such
an unexpected stroke of @lune, Clement
hastened to obey the notary's directions, and
on his arrival at Joigny, joined Martin ns we

"It was in this rooi.li ho died ten days go."
But the nephew, instead of evincing any
emotion on being shown the chamber of his
benefactor, threw upon'allicidomid him a look
of scorn, and cried, "Upon my word, I can't

never saw anything so(Very ugly in all my

"Notwithstanding, sir," replied Martin, "it

"Mr. Martin," retorted the young man,

me to the notary's."
After having eaten a hearty meal, not

the wines sour,.the legatee, still accompanied
by Martin, re•eutered the carriage, and the
two started tiff,
"If I am not mistaken," observed Mr.
Clement, after 'an hour's. ride, " we passed
this 'Spot this morning, and that," pointing
to a building, "is the railroad station. Do
we take the train there?" • •
"-You alono,will do so," responded his •

manner which caused the young man to
tremble, in spite of himself. "I, sir, am your

An Interesting Lawsuit Pending in Irance
...,illiy..PattersotiestabliShing her rights as
Widino of Jerome Bonaparte—Anterii!an
if and Prelude Princes.
After nearly half a century of quiet resig
nation to what seemed Co be the decrees of
fate, the first wife: of, Jfiirome Bonaparte is.
about to emerge. from her retirement, and,
in the French courts. of law, contest her
claims to ho his legitimate wife, and to se•
core for herself and son their part of the
personal property left by the recently de
ceased prince. The history of Madame Bo.'
niiparte (formerly MiSs Patterson) is too well
known to our readers to need recapitulation
here, and we will now only make an abstract
of the details of the proposed trial froM the•
long account furnished by the Paris corres
pondent of the London-Times.
The case will come before the Tribunal of
the First Instance at Paris, on the 25th of
the prosiont month, with 51. Berryer and M.
Legrand as counsel for Madanie 'Bonaparte.
They have drawn up a printebmemoir of
the facts, commencing with a recapitulation
of the life of Jerome Bonaparte, and a Ids.
toryof his acquaintance and marriage with
Miss Patterson. The marriage certificate
reads as follows:'
" BALTnionE,,December 24, 1803
" With license, I this day united in the
holy bonds of marriage, in conformity with
the rites of the Holy Catholic Church,Jeroine
Bonaparte, brother of the First Consul of
France, with Elizabeth Patterson, daughter
of William Patterson, Esq., of the city of
Baltimore, and of Dorcas Spear, his - wife.
f J., Bisnor OF Baurcuoux."
This certificate was verified by the French
Vice Consul, Henry Vernet.
The subsequent efforts of the Emperor
Napoleon to break up the marriage are than
recounted. With these efforts and their re•
sults our readers are familiar. Napoleon
wrote to Jerome in May, 1805 :
" Your union with Miss Patterson is milt
in the eyes of religion and the law. Write
to Miss Patterson to return to America. I
shall-give her a pension of 60,000 f., on con
dition that in no case shall she bear my
came, to which_ she has no right, by reason
of the :too existence -of the union. Inform
her, of yourself, that you have not been able,
and that you cannot change the nature of
things."
At the same time the Emperor addressed
a letter to his other brother, Lucien, (after.
wards Prince of Canino,) Who, in his opinion,
had formed a inesalliance by wedding Ma
dame Jouberton. Lucien, more manly and
honorable than Jerome, boldly replied:
WIEN RF:lltili.E9 NAPOLEON
"You conclude by tracing out for me the
line of conduct...l ought to pursue, viz : to
destroy the contract which has united eue
for the last three, years—to bring heck to
Paris-my wife changed into-a concubine—to
separate my daughters, Srom their_mother,
Who have found in her their parent—to ac•
knowledge ukitwe-children
And you call that a simple proceedinz I And
you'tfibik that, after 'having divided a poor
family, dishonored my wife, disinherited my
children—that, after having deprived them
of their name and their poition, which is no
longer mine but theirs—l should find com
pensation for so much baseness in the gracbs
and favors which you say would enable my
illegitimate children to live honored and
happy I Si?, I respect in you the organ of
the Emperor. Know, however, that rather
titan descend to such infamy, I would immo
late my son and daughter with My own hand.
* * * Moreover, lam again writing
to' his - Majesty-excepting tlie sacrifice de•
mantled of me, I ant ready to make all others
that May be thought useful to France. My
dignities belong to the Emperor. The choice
of the place of my retreat -belongs to hint.
When he commands me to change it, I will
obey without a murmur; if lie requires it, I
shall quit turope, but I will not quit my
wife and children except •with my life.
" LUCIEN BONAPARTE.
"Pesaro, May 25, 1.95." .
Pope Pius VII., as is Well known, refused
to promulgate a bill declaring Jerome's mar.
tinge null and void, and had the PPliled pos :
scssed even an ordinary degree of manliness,
his wife would not now hare'been obliged to
contest her claims in court. But Jerome
fell in with the ambitious schemes of his
brother, and, with the hopes of wedding a
‘Vortemburg princess, forsook his American
wife.
On the Ist of June, 180 G, the Archbishop
Of Paris issued a decree annulling Jerome's
marriage—a decree which the memoir terms
'• a melancholy monument of the vices 'en.
gendered by the servile wAnkness and the
guilty condescension of ecclesiastical autho
rities to the exactions of n government."
Jerome, when King of Westphalia, offered
his first wife a residence and revenue, with
the title of Princess of Smaleahlem, if she
would come to Germany ; but this offer was
refused, and Madame Bch:apart° obtained a
divorce in the State of Maryland. Iu 1819
she visited Europe, and her son, the young
Jerome, was received with every attention by
his Bonaparte relatives in France and Italy.
The counsel in the coming Aso have em
bodied in their memoir a large , number of
letters, intended to prove that the Bonaparte's
recogniied young Jerome as one of the fa
miry. The following are copies :

On the Ist of January, 1853, M. Bonaparte
congratulated his cousin on becoming Em=
peror "' on. the foundation of hisesuccess—
namely, the will of the people as expressed
-by universal suffranke."
The Eaperor replied :
" - My Cousin: Notwithatanding the dis•
lance, nail• a very long separation, I have
never doubted the heartfelt interest with
‘illich you followed all o'6' chances of my"
destiny. I have felt/ great pleasure the

I thank you fir them. The trews you give
me of the vocation of your son for the mili
tary career, and of his entering a regiment
of Carabineers. has not been less agreeable
to me. When circumstances permit I shall
be, belieVe me, most happy to see you.
Whereupon, my cousin, I pray God to have
you in llis oly keeping.
Written at the Palace of the Tuileries,
February 9, 1853. NAPOLEON."
011 010 17th of April, 1856, Mr. Jerome
Bonaparte was offered, by , lll. Fould, the title of
Duke do Sartieno, (a town in Corsica,) and
invited to come to" France. But this offer
was declined. The' latter facts connected
with the case we give as they aro related by
the Times correspondent:
"Prince Napoleon and his sister, the
Princess Mathilde, then demanded of the
Emperor and the Counseil de -Eamille, that
' MM Patterson, (Mr. Jdomo Bonaparte and
his Son,) should not exercise any of the rights
which belong exclusively to the legitimate
issue, and that consequently M. Jerome Pat
erson and his descendants should be pro.
hibited from bearing the name of Bonaparte.'
The Counseil de Fanatic decided in fairor of
their bearing tho llama of Bonaparte, but
decided illegally, as the memoir maintains,
that they should , not have the sight to avail
themselves of the " benefit of the 201st and
202 d articles of the Code Napoleon relating
to succession. The Coilngil de buneille was
composed pf MM. AbbtueCiyFould, Troplong,
Do horny, 13aroelfe, and.Orrano. The point
is argued at some length in the memoir.
" On the 10th o(November, 1855,
_Marshal.
Pelissier, at his heed quarters before Sebasto
polo:tuned M. Jerottio - Napoleon Bonaparte'
lieutenant it: the ith Dragoons, Knight Of
Legion of Honor. This nomination was con=
firmed on the 24th of the same month. But
on the 13th of June, 1856, a letter - of permis-
Hiall to wear the decoration of the'Modjidie of
Turkey was addressed to M. Bonaparte Junior,
as - .M. Bonaparte 'Paterson:' This per:nisei=
granted to him under a name which was not
his proper designation, was not accepted. At
the same limo the proposition of the Duchy of
Sartiene was renewed to M. Bonaparte, the
father.- Under these circumptances the latter
addressed the following letter to the Emperor,
dated July 25, 1856: .
Sire : I received the enclosed from my
son a few days ago. I kept it to reflect on its
contents before I should send it toyour Majes
ty. It breathes the sentiments of honor in
I which my son was brought up, and I pray
}our Majesty to grant his request.
,It is no !
real dishonor to be born a bastard, and in ao
cepting the consequences, lied I been in that
category, I should have long, since accepted, •
with gratitude, the offers which you Majesty
condescended to make me. But as I was le
gitimately born—and as I have always been
acknowledged as such by my family, by the
laws of all countries, and 1;,9 the whole world,
it would be the extretne of baseness And tiles_
honor on my part to accept a breiet of bas
tardy. I did not raise the question, neither
do I fear it. • And if the fancily counsel (eon
sea' de famille) has rendered an illegal and un
just decision, it at leasto-stopped short of de
priving me of the name I bore from my birth
to the fiftieth year of my age, withoutits ever
having been contested.
"‘The object and the victim of intrigues,
calumnies, and falsehoods, it only remains for
me, sire, to repeat the prayer I addressed ty
your Majesty in my letter of the 20th of March
to go. with my son and wait in exile that jus
.l ice which I am convinced Heaven reserves
-for me, sooner or later, and to request that
your Majesty will be pleased to grant me on
audience to take your orders for the future,.
"The memorial concludes by praying the
tribune to order that an inventory be taken ar
the property left by his imperial Highness,
Prince Jerome, and that a - partition bo made
of it.
• tt It is difficult to exaggerate the importance
of this case, for on the decision of the tribu
nals will depend the legality of the fir. , or of
the second marriage."
