MOTHER OP NAPOLEON.
HW Mme Mere Rose frc m^Pov
erty; to Splendor.
"Mme. Mere" (Napoleon'sMoth
er), by Baron Larrey, is the book
which' attracts most attention this
season. Baron Larrey, as sen of the
great surgeon of Napoleon L, is
. better prepared to write a history
of the mother of the great man in
modern history, because -from his
early childhood he has collected
documents and prepared-notes.
Besides Baron Larrey .lias the
advantage of having been ^rson
ally ; acquainted with Letitia'
Ram ol ina Bonaparte, as in 1834,
wjth his father, he visited Mme,
Mere in the Palazzo Ruinccini, her
home in Rome.
'Those who are familiar with
David's Marvelous painting called
"Corfnation, of Josaphine," re
member the astonished, trium
~~~~ phant; expression the artist has
given to Napoleon's mother, and
certainly her life was one succ?s?,
sion of triumphs and astonish
ment*. ,
Marie Letitia Raraolino married
Cnaa. Bonap?rte at^jaccio, Cor.
sica, and became the mother of
thirteen children; and when
? her husband died, eight of these
- children were still living. An in
? surrection drove them from their
home, and with absolutely nothing
except the clothing they wore,
Letitia Bonaparte and her children
arrived at Marseilles. However,
she was a brave woman,-and Napo?
leon at St. Helena paid: "My
mother had a man's head on a
woman's body." Those who saw
their more than modest home at
that time could nover have dream
ed that, each member of that
family would some day wear a
crown. The future empress-mother
spun from early dawn till late at
night, while Caroline, the future
queen of Naples, did the market
mg; Elsie, 'the future queen of
Etruria, kept -the accquntSj...anti
cess Borghese, swept and dusted
the house. Their destinies were
in the handsi of a young man, thin
and small, who was placed near
the cannon at the siege of Toulon.
The port was ceded to the English,
but the unknown young man re
captured the town amid cries of
vive la republique. From that day
fortune took him by th? hand and
led him from victory to victory un
til she placed him on a throne.
That young man was the youngest
son of the widow wno could hardly
buy bread for her children.
I have counted among my friends
several members of the Bonaparte
family, and from them I have
heard of the astonishment dis
played by Bonaparte's mother when
she realized the change in her posi
tion. She, who had lived in a poor
cottage, had a palace ; she, - who
had always walked, found coaches
and proud-stepping horses at her
disposal; she, who had never
known the luxury of a servant, was
suddenly surrounded by chamber
* laius; she, who had worried, about
money to buy bread, allowed 1,000,
000 francs a year for her expenses.
Is it any wonder that she was as
tonished, feared it was a dream,
and could not continue? Pauline,
who was the tease of the family,
delighted in going about from shop
? to shop, ordering jewels and gowns
in the name of her mother, merely
for the pleasure of hearing the
Corsicans say in her patois, be
cause' she never really learned
French :
"Pauline, do not buy anything
more; yon spend too much
. money."
Nothing made Napoleon more
furious than to hear his m?ther's
objection to spending money, be
cause he wished every member of
his family to behave as though
they were always accustomed io
luxuries. The poor mother fe-tt
that she mu?t economize, and
Napoleon said continually, "Spend,
. I'll give you a million to spend."
"In that ca?e, sire", give me two,
for I must save one."
And when Napoleon was out of
hearing she would explain why she
must economize.
"I must keep something io buy
bread for all these kings some day."
And after the battle of Waterloo
she went to Rome, and there, with
her million and a half she had
saved? Mme. Mere supported all
her ex-kings and queens. Poor
Mme. Mero I Onexrf. her favorite
phrases in the days of her splendor
was, "Pourvu que cela douro."
( Provided it lasts." Sne had the
presentiment that the end must
come; she wa? very fond of her
children, and each one went to her
with an account of domestic trou
bles. And what-troubles there was ;
Napoleon repudiated Josephine;
he tried to break the marriage of
Lucien, he succeeding in rendering
?.null that of Jerome and Miss Pat
terson, Louis and Hortense sepa
rated three times, and Pauline was
unhappy with Prince Borghese.
The mother would have been dis
tracted with all this had she not
taken refuge in reading. She liked
novels and religious books, for
Letitia Bonaparte was pious. One
day she said :
"'.Vhat ? family! Jfy son, the
emperor, is something extraordi
nary ; he ia a marvel, but the lion
has claws, and very formidable
jaws. He should never be irritated ;
Lucien irritates him because of
his marriage, and gerome irritates
him. And. poo* Louis is so badly
badly married 1 And Prince, Bor
ghese! Ah, what tears, tears for
me ! Do you wish to know whioh
of children I love the.ljest? The
one who is most unhappy, the one
who most needs my love."
And in the end the most un
happy of her children was the one
who had been the most powerful ;
when eatha 1814 and the banish
ment of Elba, a ship was seen one
day approaching the island. Great
was the curiosity, but all were over
joyed when Mme Mere landed and
placed her. money at the feet of her
t?on. In spite of her age and in
firmities, she had braved the temp
est in order to console her captive
son and perhaps enable him to re
gain his lost position.
Mme. Mere lived to be more tl ap.
90 years old, but at the age of 82.
cataracts completely destroyed her
?^e-sight. In her old age her
favorite occupation waB spinning,
but each day all the important
newspapers were-read to her- She
surrounded herself with all that
belonged to Napolean ; her break;
fast was. taken, on,, the tables .need.
byni&aT^
in her rooms, each of lier , children
was represented by bust or portrait,
Napoleon's bust dominated. "My
life ended after the death of the
Emperor. Then I renounced every
thing forever."
Mery, who wrote "Napoleon in
Egypt,', said that Mme. Mere re
minded him of "Niobe dying on
her dying sons." And Barron
Larry says : "When I saw portraits
and busts of her children by all
the great artists, of the time, I
thought they seemed grouped in
advance about Mme. Mere to form,
at the supreme hour of her obse
quies, a resuscitated cortege for
this illustrious mother of Napo
leon."
In her youth Mme. Mere had a
handsome profile, broad prominent
forehead, large eyes, long nose, ox*
quisitely ch isled lips and a swan
like throat.
In her old age, her eyes, once
black, were g?ay, but her cheeks
had very few wrinkles, and her lips,
although expressing sadness, were
well cut. Throughout her life
Mme. Mere was in appearance, the
typical Roman empress, but as she
liked neither, balls nor grand re.
ceptions nor the theatres, Mme.
Mere was decidedly out of place at
a gay court like that of Napoleon.
Princess Mathilde said once;
"Of course I revere Napoleon ; had
it not been for Napoleon I might
have been selling oranges in
Ajaccio."
I think Mme. Mere would have
been a happier woman, would have
lived a life much more in accord
ance with her tastes had she culti
vated the vine in her little garden
at Ajaccio and seen her children
established near her in happy
homes.-PoBt Dispatch.

THE NEW LIQUOR LAW.
What Distin?uisted Teacher? and
Divines Say Aboat lt.
FROM PKOF. H* T. COOK.
The Evans Dispensary bill is
stirring the . stagnant waters.
Opposition to it in liquor circles
is deep and pronounced. Charleston
and Spartanburg have defied the
bill by issuing licenses for another
twelve months. The opposition
will take two courses to defeat
the bill. They will test its consti
tutionality, and probably enjoin
the State for some time from
enforcing its provisions. In the sec
ond place, the friends of the
liquor cause will, it seems,
unite to prevent the requiste
majority from signing the
papers necessary for establishing
a dispensary. This will bring
about a seemingly anomalous f
condition of affairs. The liquor men
refusing to countenance the pro-1
posed traffic and urging_upon m*o-1
' ?'? . ' ."? -i. i
will be .
law, SQ that in the course of a year
or so, the whole business will fall
back into the present hands and
be more firmly held and clinched
than ever before. Then it will be
rung from every mouth and from
every servile newspaper that
"Regulation does not regulate."
The prohibitionists will be likely
to vote for the the bill
when understood, , not be
cause he favors, licenses from
either city or State, but because it
promises at least a better state, of
afiairs, and a gradual preparation
for prohibition. Sonde of the liquor
men in our cities are better men
than are generally supposed, but
the rank and file of the so-called
"liquor element" is what Cicero
call?d "bilge water" ip the
in the ship of State. Now, one of
the best results of this bill, if it
proves to be practical, is that it
strikes a centre shot upon this
irresponsible and conglomerate
element. It loosens the bands that
bind them together and it removes
out of their reach the profits which
make them ever watchful in their
efforts to protect the business and
defeat the better element in . the
community. It will leave, top like
a ship on the strand, those politi
cians who have been subservient
tools in their powerful hands. We
have not yet seen the bill as a
whole, but the nature of the op
position, and the quarters from
whence it comes, bespeaks for it
at least a not unfavorable con
sideration.

Rev. A. J. S. Thomas. Editor of
Baptist Courier:
DEAR BRO--In answer to your
request for my opinion of the
Evans Dispensary Bill, I would |
say:
(1.) It is not prohibition. It j
does not therefore, meet the wishes
of those who voted last Augusta
for prohibitory legislation.
(2) But it is rigid regulation,
and, therefore, restriction and!
suppression in measure. Th' out
spoken unanimous opposi
tion of the liquor element in
the State is greatly in its favor
It is well, in this matter,- to .learn
from an . enemy. The frrends of
temperance my wisely ^recognize
as a worthy ally and helper every
lawful agency which tends to the
suppression" of the liquor trafilo. In
the tremendous-struggle against
the saloon the best thing to be
dorie in. many cases, is. not c
which: may be abstractly bes{. b
that which is practicable.. Par
restriction is better than
restriction.
Tn this view of the case I:
for good ressul ts from the F :
bill. Certanly the law oughfrt*?> h;

FROM JOHN G. WILLI?M8.
% Dear Bro. Thomas : In reply to
your note asking my views of the
"Evans Dispensary bill/' I will
say that the bill is going to work
well, and be largely* prohibitory.
While ins not a prohibitory bill,
but simply to regulate and restrict
the traffic, if its provisions are;
faithfully carried out it w?l ba al
most a prohibition measure. Il
strikes me that there is a great
deal of prohibition in it. There
aslo some excellent features in the
bill, umong which are .the fol
lowing:
1st. It does away with bar rooms,
which are the very life and
strength, of the liquor traffic. Fort
this reason I like the bill-that it
shuts up the bar rooms, the worst ;
of all a country's curses.
2d. It makes a two third vote
of the freeholders of a town?
necessary. before it can have -a
dispensary, and this provision wilf
enable towns to dispense with dis
pensaries, where ^they don't want
them - . ' \ '
2d. The bill puts a stop to the
rairoads and express companies
being whiskey carriers, except
such as is ordered >? from the State
dispenser, and this is a damaging
v1-- . x- iii ". ? ? ..'-r1-^
'. . ?Ii to *X '
cess are the ones that mostly Lay
whiskey.
: 5th. The bill kills all those vii?
little "social clubs" after the
manner of the big Columbia club
that were springing up all over
the county for the sale of whiskey
and against which we were told
that there was no law. Thanks to
the Evans bill, there is now a law
against them, and ? the mother
concern in Columbia.
There are other excellent fea
tures in the bill, but .the mention
of the above must suffice.
What makes me think more
favorably of the Evans bill than
I otherwise would perhaps is the
deadly hatred and opposition of
the whiskey men to it. It has
stirred them and they hate it like
they do "deadly pizen." Evidently
the whiskey men think it is going
to hurt the whiskey business, or
they would't be in such a rage
about it, like the "craftsmen" at
Ephesus. It does me good to see
how mad they are. When I was a
boy and used to shoot squirrels : in':
high trees, I always knew that I
had missed a squirrel if h? lay
still on a limb after I had shot:
But when at the crack bf. the gun
he jumped up and shook h;a tail
and wiggled about I knew that
I had hit him. The Evans bill
has hit the whiskey men. No
doubt of that. I hope the' prohibi
tionists in the State will support
the Evans bill until we can
get something better, lt is far
better than "the present bar room
system. And let all who veted
prohibition 'practice prohibition
and not patronize the dispensaries.
Prohibitionists may congratulate
themselves on a great victory, and
that the State is now pledged to
practical prohibition. Let us work
for the the success pf the Evans
bill. JNO G. WILLIAMS.

FROM R. B. WATSON.
RIDGE SPUING, B. C., Dec. 81, |
1895.
You ask my views on the Dis
pensary bill. I want prohibition. I
I think this bill a long stride in
that direction. There are only |
two classes who want whiskey sold :
those who make money, by selling
it, and those who .pay lower taxes
on account of the revenue from
ita sale. The sellers will find other
employment, and cease to be ac
tive opposers of temperance. The
tax payers will pay the additional
taxes cheerfully, after a while, just
as we do who have no barrooms,
when they realize how much bet
ter it is for the comunity. The
sellers under the new law being
paid salaries will uot press sales.
Young men will not be tempted as
they are now by open bars and
! their accompaniments. ?
Yours fraternally,

Whiskey Licenses.
The people of this city have
cause to be gratified at the position
taken by Council in regard to the
issuingjof licenses to sell liquor
during the ensuing year. That they
did not follow the example set by
other places and grant licenses
for the whole year, is evidence of
their conservatism and indepen
dent determination to do what
seemed legal .md right.
The Evans Dispensary bill as
passed by the Legislature is the
law of the State, and individuals
and subordinate governments are
bound to recognizo and obey it
until a court of competent jur
isdiction has declared it void.
The law as it stands maybe full
of flaws and unconstitutional-we
do not venture upon this phase of
j the questions-but municipal and
county goverments have no right
te disregard the provisions of a
State law. The courts can settle
questions of law, and those who
do not believe in the legality or
constntionality of any act have
in them their recourse.-Sumter
