of whicl?aiie. spent something like $2,000
a y ear.
The greater part of her money was
accumulated uring tho last thirty years
of her life by? saving. In her old age
she often said: ,4Once I hid everything
but money; now I have nothing hut
money."
" "Eve2wScn sho had readied tho ad
vanced Sofninety years,'' says Mrs.
Didicr, "Mma. Bonapowfts in the
habit ofcxjeklng the business' portions of
the city, collecting her dindends, "mak
ing close bargains with .brokers, and
managing al her affairs with great
shrcwdnjig She invested her money in
various ways;becausc as she said, "It
was not vise to put all your eggs in one
baskefr.'Her biographer continues.
Parsigfous to all others she was
very liberal to her grandsons. During
the timojLLat her grandson Jerome was
in the Ef5ch.arruy slie gavo liim very
large sums, saying, 'felie wished him to
appear in a manner befitting his birth,
as the gmeekon of.akiug." On the 17th
of JuneioTO, her son died, leaving his
countnseatato "liis""two sons, jointly.
She bought out Jerome's share a d pre
sented it to Iris younger brother. In
the last few-years of her life she was ac
customed to give at Christmas a present
of $100 each to two or three favored
relatives.
She was very regular in her habits of

rope, attending nightly balls and parties,
she was compelled, to keen. late hours.
but she never lost'sleep at night without
mikiiis it np during the day.
Contemporary testimony to her beauty
was unanimous. As &ome one said of
hen "She channs by her eves and
slavs with her tongue." But if lier
witticisms inspired fear, her gay man
ner and cniMufce laujiitcr toot away
their sting. She was very vain of her
personal charms; and -once asked a lady
who had recently returned from Earope,
if she had not heard of her beauty on
the continent. :She was in the habit of
standing before her portrait and viewing
with complacency the wondrous beauty
which had led captive the heart of Je
rome Bonaparte.
3Ime. Bonaparte was mctbidlv sensi
tive about her age. One Summer at the
'White Sulphur Springs she enjoyed the
society of -a Baltimore gentleman, very
.much complimenting his manner:, con
versation, etc, .until one day he com
mitted thfc fatal mistake of asking the
Hadame's age. She never spoke to him
again Another Summer at York
Springs, Pa., she was annoyed by the
familiarity of a Mrs. of Baltimore.
One day, while seated at dinner next to
3Ime. Bonaparte, she remarked : "Mad
ame, I am very glad to meet you. I
hear you . were once very beautiful.
How old "are you now V To which
Mme. Bonaparte curtly replied : "Nine
hundred and ninety-nine years, ninety
nine days and nine minutes."
Notwithstanding the quiet life the
led in Baltimore, Mme. Bonaparte con
tinued to enjoy the visits of her friends
up to the very last She conversed
freely, often with, vivacity, and fre
quently with bitterness. She had very
little confidence in men, but did not
withhold herad miration from her own
sex, if she iuebonc -who came up to her
standard, which was very seldom.
In a conversation on the subject of
religion with thu late Mrs. John Eager
Howard, of Baltimore, Mme. Bonaparte
said if she adopted any leligiou it would
be the Cathduc, because at least "that
was a religion of. Kings a royal reli
gion. Her niece, who was piesenL ex
claimed : "Oh, aunt,- -how can you say
such a thing T A ou would not give up
Presbyterianism V To which Mme.
Bonaparte -rcspondedu.- "The only rea
son I would -not is that I should not
like to sive up the stool mv ancestors
had sat upon.'
A carpetrbag containing valuables was
Mme. Bonaparte s constant companion.
If she was called to the parlor to see a
-visitor she took it with her and hung it
on the back-of her chair. In every ex
pedition this carpetrbag was taken, and
on more occasions than one young gen
tlemen who wished to show bomc atten
tion to Madame have been annoyed and
embarrassed by being obliged to carry
this thoroughly old fashioned comiianien.
In one of her earlier trips to Europe she
carried in her own hands a small trunk
containing her jewels. During the
journey to Philadelphia the was intro
duced to a young gentleman from Balti
more, and upon arriving at the above
city she handed him the trunk, saying:
"Young man, take this ; it contains my
jewels," and, taking his aim, she sain,
"I will hold on to you," which sho did
until safely settled in a carriage with.
her treasures. Her room waft piled
with trunks, and up to the time of her
last illness she was in the habit of look
ing over her ancient finery. Each arti
cle had its history ; this was her hus
band's wedding coat; this dress was
given her by tho Princess Borghese ;
this one had been worn at tho Court of
Tuscany ; this one the wore at the Pitti
Palace on the day she met her husband,
this she wore when presented to Madame
Mere, etc.
During the last two years of Mme.
Bonaparte's life her digestive powers
failed, and she lived almost exclusively
upon brandy aad milk. She went down
stairs for tho last time on Christmas
day, 1878, but was taken ill five days
afteryard. Her physician knew tkk
would be her last illness, for she did not
manifest any desire to leave her bed, as
she had always done in previous indis-
posiUonH. She said that she had a dis
ease wlndi medicine oouia not cure
old age ; and on some ono's remarking
in her presence that nothing waH so cer
tain as death, she laconically replied,
"Except taxes."
And thus ends the story of one of tho
most beautiful, ono of the cleverest, ono
of tho most ambitious and certainly one
of tho most unfortunate women of mod
ern times. The life of 31 me. Bonaparte
belongs to history as well as to romance
and must bo told along with that of tho
great Napoleon. New York Hciald.
How to Kill a Rat.
A keen-eyed and gray-bearded rat in a
Rockvillo woolen mill had for a long
time evaded every device to entrap him,
but an expert took the caso in hand, and
succeeded in beguiling him into the trap.
When the spring announced that the
"old General'' was caught, the boys
crowded around and peered in at the
bright eyes and nervous movements of
old fellow, who was "streaking it" in
side. It was decided to put him in tho
'extractor," and if ho survived that
treatment to let him go. The "extract
or" in a woolen mill is a machine used
to extract the moisture out of the cloth,
the process being effected by putting the
cloth into a basket that revolves swiftly
inside a massive frame-work of iron. So
the trap was fixed into the basket and
the belt run on.
Hound and round went the basket,
lurching heavily from sido to side, but
gradually growing steadier as the revo
lutions became swifter. Steadily the
speed went up; 100, 200, 300 and 400
times a minute. The eye could just see
a dark spot in the lasket, then there
was a sudden jar, and a cry was heard
that the trap would fly off, the brake
put on, and the machine stopped. Was
"graybcard" dead I Not a bit. Ho was
streaking it fore-and-aftin the trap, his
lively eyes as bright as ever.
Once more he took his place in the
basket. It was to be a ride to death
this timo a fast train that would whirl
him around at the rate of a mile and a
quarter every sixty second. The "old
General" seemed to have an imprecision
that affairs were n earing a climax, for a
despairing squeal was heard as tho bas
ket again started. One minute, two
two minutes, three minutes, and the bas
ket was whirling around fully 1 00 times
to the minute ! A steady hum, instead
of the surging:!, indicated the high sliced.
Then the belt was thrown off and the
brake applied. When the machine stop
pod the "old General" was no more; but
his was a painless death, without the
agony and distress usually dealt out to
vermin.
Ballooning and Reporting.
Sometimes a reporter goes up in a bal
loon with an aeronaut. It would seem
at first sfcht that the balloon man had
the reporter completely at his mercy,
but such is not the case He laughs
best who laughs last, and the reporter
has the writing up of the aerial voyage.
Becentlv a balloon ascension was nlade
near Montreal, and a reporter of the
New York Hrald went up. The ac
count of the trip shows that it was one
of the most terrible on record. But the
mind of the reader turns with pleasure
from the harrow of the situation to ad
mire the wonderful bravery of this dar
ing reporter. The balloon would swoop
down on forests, then bound to the skies,
or nearly there, then dip into a lake,
then turn a double somersault without
touching the ground ; in fact, it acted in
a most outrageous and undignified way.
The balloonist was pale as ashes, hu
teeth chattered and his knees knocked
together. But his reportorial friend,
oh, where was he With a calm smile
at danger, and a look of unruffled
serenity on his marble brow, he gave his
order in the same quiet tone he would
hare used in ordering a lieefsteak rare,
at a penny restaurant The trembling
balloonist was bid to lull his lean, ilie
reporter mildly informed him that the
next thing to do was to gt down oat of
this and ordered him to throw out some
more ballast. Tho balloonist was utter
ly prostrated by fear that instead of
doing this he opened the valve and the
balloon started down. The balloon
struck a forest and tore great oaks up
by the roots and left a track of fallen
trees in its wake. The reporter, desir
ing to stop this wholesale slaughter of
valuable timber, climbed on the netting,
kicked open the valve and brought up
the festive balloon against a bam. Hav
ing saved the life of the aeronaut sever
al times, he completed his good work by
carrying the fainting man into a farm
house and there resuscitating him.
When you let a Ner York reporter
tell his own story you will find him the
bravest, most danng hero on record.
The Walking Fever

eminently correct strictures on the walk
ing mania which is now spreading over
the land: "It is said that over twenty
thousand pcoplo visited the Mechanics'

Colonel IngerscH's Eulogy on a
Minister.
The clergy are not verv profuse in
their uulogiums on tho heretical Colonel
ngoraill ; and the Colonel is not given
to panegyrics on tho clergy. So it is a
ittlo more thau remarkable, from this
fact, to note a tribute given by tho Colo
nel to the late Bo v. Alexander Claik,
who recently died in Pittsburg, Pa., bc-
oved by all who knew htm and a man
well known in tho literary as well as tho
religious world. Mr. Clark is the author
of two popular works, entitled " Work-
Day Christianity, or The uo&pol in the
Trades," and " Tho Gospel in the Trees,
with Pulpit Opinions on Common
Thinss."
Mr. Clark was by birth and education
Presbyterian of tho strictest school,
and by adoption and life a Metholist of
tho Republican order, rrotu such a
Calvino-Arminian Christian, one might
reasonably look for safe and evangelical
opinions. Tho following is the IhamU-
ful eulogy pronounced ujon Itev. Air.
Clark bv CoL Robert G. Ingersoll :
Upon the grave of the Rev, Alex

Utterly detituto of cold dogmatic pnde
that often passes for tho love of God,
without tho arrogance of tho 'elect'

forgot that ho was a Christian, and he
seemed to forget that I was not, while
each remembered that the oilier was a

with the holy eyes of charity upon tho
failings and mistakes of men. lie be
lieved in the power of kindness, and
spanned with divino sympathy the hide
ous gulf that scjtaratcs the fallen from
tho pure.
Giving freely to others the rights that
he claimed for himself, it never occurred
to him that his Gel hated a brave a Mil
honest unbeliever. He remembered
that even an infidel has rights that lave

generosity of an honest man, h aorord

knowing, as he did, that 5h the realm of

For this man I entertained tho pn
foundc&t respec. In spite of the taunta
and jeers of hu brethren, he jmWidy
tiroclaimcd that he would trat models
with fairness and respect; aad that he
would endeavor to convince thea bv ar
gument and win them with ieve. He
insisted that the God . he werehiped
loved the well-being even of an atheist.
In this grand position he stood almost -alone.
Tender, just and loving, where
others were harsh, vindictive and cruel,
he challenged the respect and admiratien
of every honest man. A few mere
such clergymen might drive calany
from the lips of faith and render the
pulpit worthy of respect.
The heartiness and kindness with

that ho has left the shore touched by
tho mysterious sea that never yet has

preach the love of God.
His svmpaUiies were not connned

the cruel rocks and rusted bars with
leaf and flower. Ho could not echo
with his heart the fiendish sentence of
eternal fire. In spite of book and
creed, ho read "between the lines" the
word of tenderness and love, with
promises for all the world. Above, be
yond the dogmas of his church humane

some to doubt his love of God liecanse
he failed to hate his unbelieving fellow
men, he labored for the welfare of man

A Book Agent Meets Her Match.
A very prepossessing young lady, can
vassing for a jopular loot, stepjd
into the office of a broker, and finding
him apparently at leisure, asked hiai to
look at her book. Tho genlldman in
formed her that it would only be a waste
of time, as he could not purchase it. "Oh,
never mind that I" ejaculated tho viva
clous young woman, it won't cost any
thing to look at it, even if you don't buy.
I bheuld like to have you read some
portions of it, and son what it is."
The accommodating broker took tho
volume, and glanced at the titlo page,
commenced a perusal of the introduction.
This finished, lie legan at tho first chnp
ter, and read carefully and leisurely
along. It was about 9 o'clock when he
commenced, and an hour jiassed silently
away, when tho book agent began to
kliow Hgns of nervousness, which were
apparently unnoticed by the broker, for
he never took his eye from the volume,
but read steadily on. Eleven o'clock
came, and the lady began to walk
xmartiy around tho room, glancing occa
monally out of the windows. At noon
tho broker was still reading, and tho
ngent woic a decidedly troubled coun
tenance. A few moments before ono
o'clock the broker laid tho book down,
leisurely donned his overcoat and hat,
and remarked: "That is a gook book. I
am sorry I cannot read more of it, but
I am obliged to go to dinner. If you
call this atternoon I will continue read
ng it"

Kissed tho Wrong Fellow.
It is sometimes unfortunate to have a
friend who mumbles you, even though
the resemblance extends no further than
tho hack of the hend. A fellow in our

His friend Pendleton was sending a

pleasure in introducing to him -Miss

Elton.
It was Fourth of July afternoon that
the introduction took place on tho ground

Tho ladies soon wearied of the gay, I

"Thank j'ou," Kimbal replied. I'm

Mismated Royalty.
For tho first year of her marriage
with Prince Napoleon tho Princess Clot
ilde was very wretched, and spent much
of her time in prayer. Tho l'riucu was
extremely courteous to hor, but as he
was at the same time an friendly as ever
with the old set there was no true bond
of sympathy ltctwccn them. It cannot
even be said her heart was vacant, for
her girlish hopes and alliance worthy of
rauk had been centered on the Due de
Chart res. There was but one prospect
of a better understanding between the
Iir, and when their oldest son, the
present Prince Victor Joromc Frederic,
was born on tho 18th of July, 18G2, his
mother seemed to tako a new interest in
life. Other children followed-- Louis
Joseph Jerome, lorn on tho ICth of
July, 1861, and a girl, Letitia, born on
tho 20th of December, 1S6G.
The Princess was naturally attached
to all these children, but certain notori
ous scandals in the father's life gradu
ally estranged her more and more from
him. Ho was on the liest of terms with
tho Marquise deC, and though the Prin

" He's Only My Husband."
Miss Neilson has made many conquests
in New York. Her parlors in the Fifth
Avenue were nevor without her admir
ers in seasonable hour. She had a big
husband named Lee. He seemed more
of a factotum. A New Yorker fell
madlv in love with tho actress while ahe
was playing as Rosalind and Amy Rob-
sart at Booth's Theatre. Everv night he
was in an orchestra chair, with a big
floral emblem for her, and avcry after
noon, after having obtained an introduc
tion, came bearing more flowers. The
charminj: actress liked nothing belter
than to loll back on tho divan with a
rich bouquet to pick at, while the admir
