but the flashing eye and deI
cided manner of the old lady warned
' all intruders from the coast of senti
rnent. With this strange woman the
J admission of a regret would be a
I moral impossibility.
' You were first introduced to your
husband at the races, 1 understand?"
' was the next query. "And wearing a
| white wig ?''
J "Yep," she replied, "wigs wcro in
i vogue then. Oh that occasion we
j were simply introduced; but I knew
j by bin man).or that hfl would not be
I satisfied until wo were better m <juaint|
ed. The next day we mot at a dinner
J parly given by Gcnerul Smith, and 1
t wore my own hair. Jerome was very
enthusiastic about its shado and
abundance, and made me promise that
1 would never wear a wig again until
there was a necessity for it.'
' you must liave been very beautiful
Madame Jiouaparte?''
"Ye*," she answeiv J. 'Itin no use
at my age to affect prudery or undue
modesty. You see nothing now but
the ashes of the rose. .Still there is
one consolation left me?the rose was
so fragrant that the ruin can never bo
disgusting. My height and proportions
were exactly those of the Venus
de Medici." As the old lady spoke,
she carelessly threw buck thu sloeve
! of her dross, displaying a wrist and
arm which any modern bejlo might
be pardoned for envying. I drew
' near and examined it. Could it be
possible that tho ownor of such an
, exrjuisitely-mouldod arm and hand
i j could bo eighty-four years old?
' JXow have you preserved yourself
mo fresh and beautiful."
i "Hy remembering that a thing of
i beauty is a joy forever, if the poseeBSi!
or only has a mind to make it so. I
j have endeavored to keep tho jewel
' bright aud tho casket well dusted.
< j That's about all one can do wilh the
J exterior of anything."
Jler expressions are, tor the most
> part, extremely quaint and original,
* ami she never tires taflking of herself.
- When speaking of persons sjie docs
r not like, or suspects of attempts to
, injure her, her sarcasm is as keen and
, polished as an Alexandrine sword.

Madame Bonaparte's account of her
marriago, which ehe has probably
- described thousands of times to her
> intimate friends, is just as fresh and
i piquant at this late day as it was
, years ago, "when life aud love were
I young." She was married to Jerome,

i duly acquainted with the marriage,

Notwithstanding tho apparent lu

such contradictory sentiments.

" high in favor, and she understood he '
" was very fond of them. She had no
" relations with Josoph Bonaparte
^ when ho resided in this country.
Madame Bonaparte is very proud
of her grandchildren, Jerome Napo*
Icon, horn in 1832, now in the French (
" army, whom nhe confidently believes
k will yet he Emperor of the French,
" and Charles Joeeph,]born in 1852.
Jerome, homo on a furlough to visit
1 his father in his late illness, met his
1 brother and grandmother at tho bed'
nide. Tho Madame, who is very rich,
' and very gonei'ons to her own, hand??d
ChaileB Joseph a check for $2,000,
which ho thankfully accepted. Then,
' turning to Jerome, she said archly :
"1 suppose you are out at elbows,
^ | too?"
"Yes, grandmamma," he answered,
} i "vou m:iv l>i> oertsiin nf tl.nl "
"j "'Tlio Old lady then passed another
r I two thousand to the elder, and they
^ went their way rejoicing.
1 It has been currently reported that
s Madame IJonaparto's father opposed
s her union with Jeromo, and toojc her
* j to Virginia to break up tho intimacy.
1 ! This the Madamo earnestly denies,
! and asserts that he was quite as dej
lighted with the prospect of tho
' . match as she was herself, and that it
5 j was not until he found sho could not |
> j be recognized as tho legal wife of Jc '
| romo that ho developed any symp'
l toms of dissatisfaction. It is quite
j probable that the Madame's conduct
^ j iias been tho reverse of amiublc, for
i there has always been trouble in tho
' family. Mr. Patterson finally cut his
1 daughter oil* from her inheritance,
' simply deeding her the house in Lovc1
I)- lane, near South street.
J "This was dono to mortify mo,"
said tho Madame, "just to remind me
^ that my grandfather was ;i shocmak
cr?as it 1 should over forgot it."
" The animus she betrays when speaking
of this event iH really incredible
toono unacquainted with licr strongly
1 arrogant and despotic disposition.
] She is keen, and brilliant, and logical,
demolishing without tho aid of estab'
lished premises, everything to her
mind weak or unpopular. She imag
' incs every person tliat visits her to
' have as .she expresses it, "nomo axe to
" grind" at lu-r expense, and would
never allow herself to be interviewed
in any way. She is busy writing her
' own life, and intends to tell her own
' story her own way, when she "gets
ready." From 183U to 41 she spent
tho greater part of the summers at
' Koekaway. There, in company with
' Campbell ami Whyte, Members of
Congress, ami some of the Carrol ton
family, she was tho gayest of the gay;
considered by all as tho fund from
wliieh to draw all that Was necessary
!. for intellectual ontortainmont. 1
"l>id you ever foci, Madamo Bona- 1
parte, that there wcro other men in
tho world besido Jerome Bonaparte, 1
and that it was foolish to give up your
whole life to something of little more i
account than a dream ?" I enquired,
depiring, abovo all things, to get at 1
' some expression of feeling. i
"Stuff and nonsenso I' was her re- s
pi}". "Way it nothing, then, to bo the
mother of a I ion a par to ? Nothing to
1 feel that tho rccomponso would one
[ day conic in tho establishment of the ]
right of my own flesh and blood to ;
the throne of France! 1 trcmblRl to ,
[ think what kind of mou wo should
have, if all mothers were as sentimen- j
tal as you would have had me." The ]
' question is, how much is this woman
I inueuicu 10 iiio i-irst JNapoleon 1'ur
hor education, and how much to na- .
ture ? The grandsons aro on the best
terms with tho present Louis Napo- 1
1 leon, and tlic youngest is said to bo a j
[ great favorite with tho Princess Eu,
genie. This gives tho old lady faith
in tho imperial future of one of her
grandchildren at leaftt. Sho lays
great 8treBS on the refusal of the Popo
( to confirm tho order of Napoleon I,
declaring tho marriage null and void,
i and the subsequent persistence of tho
l Papal Court.
"There aro the diamonds given me

tny hands a stomacher of precious
'r stonos moro boautiful and costly than

It seems very strange taat a woman
3 of Madame Bonaparte's wealth should
occnpy simply a suit of rooms in a
common boarding house down town.
- Jlor rooms aro plainly furniahod, and
s but for a few articles of bazantino,
which have horn f;ollect<?d in h?r Tai
