In our view Napoleon Bonaparte is tho greatest character in the his tory ol' all the ages. Thousands of volumes have been published con cerning his life and actions. Instead of confining themselves to what the great man did and narrating the sim ple facts of his life, most of those authors take it upon themselves to criticise or praise him tn the most extravagant manner. Men have criticised the military operations of Napoleon who them selves could not drill a Squad ; others have spoken in diminutive terms of his intellect who themselves were in capable of being judges in such matters, but notwithstanding all these adverse opinions Napoleon stands out as the greatest of all men. Most persons know something of the great Emperor, but very few are informed about lite illustrious mem bers of bis family. His father died when he was boy, and tho family, consisting of the mother and six children, were driven out of Corsica and took refuge in France. Tho family was in the extreme of pov erty, but the mother was a remarka ble woman and with tho assistance of the older sons was able to over come the difficulties which surround ed her. Her future and that ol' the children is an interesting story. Letitia, the mother, during thc Empire, was known as the Empress Mother and Napoleon fixe?1 on hoi an annual income of $200,000. Sin. did not lake much pleasure iit life al the court, preferring the friendship and social life of those who were nol so exalted. She died at Home in 1830, at the home of lier brother, Card ina Fesch, in the 87th year of her ago. Joseph, the eldest son, was a law yer when the family left Corsica, bul had not built up a practice at that time. Ho was of Republican senti mont and all his life was opposed t* the divine right of Kings. Hobe came a member of tho Council o Five Hundred under tho I) i roo tory and was also appointed as En voy Extraordinary to Home. Nnpo leon offered him the crown of Lom bardy which he declined.

After the downfall of Nape leon Joseph came to the, Unite States and bought a home at Horden town on the Delaware whore li lived as a private gentleman.

Ile died in 1810, having achieved a literary reputation. Louis, the third brother of Napo leon, accompanied him to Toulon when he was only fifteen years of age and acted as aide to Napoleon in his second Italian campaign about two years after the seige of Toulon. He also went to Egypt and after his return was made King of Holland. He married Hortense, daughter of Josephene, but they did not get on pleasantly and fi nally separated. He was not in accord with Napoleon and resigned the crown of Holland and devoted his lifo to literature and poetry. Ile died at Leghorn in 18 10. .1 crome, the youngest brothor, was a subaltern in the French navy, and while on a trip to America married Miss Patterson, of Baltimore. This marriage was never recognized by Napoleon and Jerome afterwards married Princess Catharine, of VVur tomburg. lie was made King of Westphalia when he was twenty two years old. He was inclined to do what was right, but was too much of a boy for the high position, being frivolous and extravagant. He filled most of the offices with Jews. On the downfall of Napoleon Jerome lost his throne and lived in Wurtem burg, Austria and Florence until 1818 when Napoleon III ascended tho French throne. He acted well ?is a soldier in tue Kussinn campaign and at the battle of Waterloo. Ho died in Paris a few years ago,having held high positions under Napoleon HI. ICI i/.a, the eldest sister, was Grand Duchess of Tuscany, and showed jiiorgy and executive talent in tho ulministration of the affairs of her miall dominion. She died in Trieste in IS'i ), being the first of thc family billed away. Pauline, tho second sister, was tho fnost beautiful woman in Europe. She was twice married, first to Gen.

It may ho thought that thc mem bets of Napoleon's family attained distinction through his influence To show that this idea is erroneous wo will have something to say of thc next generation, if time and space will justify us in doing so. The members of the family have always been tho advocates of popular liberty as opposed to tho "Divine- right of kings." Joseph Bonaparte married Julie Clary, daughter of a rich man of Marseilles. Two daughters wore boru to them. Zenaidc married Charles Lucien Bonaparte. Char lotte, tho second daughter, married ber cousin, Napoleon Louis, son of Louis Bonaparte.

Tho oflicers of RI ploy county, Ind., have boon called upon to sup press disorder of a novol oharaoter at Osgood. At tho oponing of tho winter the young women of the town got together and signed a plodgo not to associate with any young man who drank. Tho young men retaliated by agreeing not to associato with any young woman who had signed tho pledge. Tho w.intor gayeties in tho town wore brought to a sudden dose by these two agreements. Night after night tho young women attended church without their malo escorts and tho young men entered church in a body and took scats by them selves. ' timo passed tho novelty of the .situation wore off and the young men made proposals for a compromise, but the women were firm and adhered strictly to thoir pledge. Each side in tho meantime had adopted a badge. Tho young women formed an Old Maid's Club and the young men an Old Iiacho lors' Club. The two organizations adopted rules that separated them more and more. Then tho young men fron thc surrounding country invaded thc town and found themselves suddenly very acceptable to the young women. In two weeks ono of them married a young woman who had been en gaged to one of the town young men when thc split came, and a few days later tho town young men were stir prised by the marriage of another young woman at tho church i mme diately after tho morning service. Thc young men thereupon de clared war upon their country cousins. That night every country boy who attended a girl to church was egged as he went home. Since then tho disturbances have taken on a moro serious form, and several young men have been stoned and one or two quite seriously injured Other visitors from the country have had their horses' bridles taken off, their saddles cut to pieces, their harness riddled, and their buggies ruined. One night a young man started for home and all thc wheels of his buggy came off, thc nuts of thc spindles having been removed by his rivals. A few days ago one of the country boys discovered some one unhitch ing his horse and opened fire upon him from the door of tho house where he was calling upon a young woman. The shots were returned, but no ono was injured. When he reached his horse ho found that the animal had been cut with a knife in the shoulder. The liveryman who had taken care of the horses of ono of the country boys has received anonymous letters threatening to burn his stable if he persists in accepting the patron ago of thc visi tors, and even the hotel keeper has been warned not to lodge the objec tionable visitors. At the last meeting of thc Old Maid's Club resolutions wore passed denouncing thu outrages and calling upon the officers to enforce tho law. It is said that there aro dissensions in thc Old Bachelors' Club, and that n minority favor tho cessation of hostilities before all tho girls aro married off to thc country boys, but the majority are still adverse to a compromise, and a settlement is not yet in sight.

MoCravy, a silver Democrat and formerly Sheriff of Laurens county, has been appointed Chief United Slates Deputy Marshal through tho inlluOnoo of Senator McLaurin. The appointment is accepted asa further indication of the formation of tho white Republican party. It is said in Charleston that Mclaurin urged the appointment in order to show the TilltUanitos that they will be made, welcome in the new folds, and it is believed that he is trying to win over tito staunch supporters of Till man. With this new side of thc case brought out, the light will grow more heated. MoCravy was not a gold Democrat, but an ordinary fanner, with a curtain inlluoneo among the people (tf his class which he is expected to wield for McLaurin in his campaign next year. Lawson Melton, United States Marshal, will probably be allowed to resign, just as Deputy Sligh did, who is suc ceeded by MoCravy, "Our IIttlo girl w?fl unconscious from Strangulation duringa sudden and terri ble attack of croup, I tpdokly secured a hollie of Ono Minute Cough Cure, giving her three doses.

II." fo Editors Keoweo Courier : Will you pienso ?How mo through your col umns space to givo your readers Bomo incidents respecting tho South Carolina Presbytery, which convened in tho Presbyterian church at Pied mont on Friday night, April 19lh, at 8.'10 o'clock p. m. Tho opening sermon was preached by the retiring Moderator, Hov. J. F. McKinnon, of Long Cane church, from Matthew xvi, 25. After tho sermon Presbytery pro ceeded to organize. Tho roll was called and, though tho night was dark and rainy, fourteen ministers and twonty-soven ruling elders wore enrolled. Elder J. W. Todd, of Seneca, was elected Moderator, and Kev. T. P. Burgess, of Ninety-Six, assistant clerk. In arranging tho hours for busi ness Rev. .1. C. Shire, pastor of tho church, said': "Wo do not imitate any body hore, and we aro different from every body else ; wo have our own rules and regulations, and cat dinner nt 12 o'clock." Tho hours for business were arranged from 9 a. na. to 12, with a recess for dinner until 2, and adjourn at 5. Presbytery adjourned to meet at 9 o'cloek noxt day-Saturday. I will endeavor to write the inci dents of each day as thoy transpired. At 9 a. m., after devotional exer cises, tho work of the Presbytery was resumed. Much of tho time in the forenoon was spent in hearing reports, appointing committees, etc. Thc Local Homo Commission re signed, and thc committee elected the following ministers and elder to serve : Rev. J. F. McKinnon, of Long Cano church ; Rev. J. C. Shire, of Piedmont church, aud Elder W. A. Templeton, of Abbeville. Thc following ministers were re ceived into this Presbytery : Rev. S. .1. Cartledge of tho Augusta Presby tery, Hov. W. F. Strickland of the Macon Presbytery, and Rev. Thos. II. Medd, from Canada. A call was made for Rev. S. J. Cartledge to thc First church, in the city of Anderson. Rev. IL R. Mur chison was called to Central church ; Rev. H. C. Fennell to Rocky River church, and Rev. W. F. Strickland to Pendleton. The pastoral relation was dissolved between Rev. II. C. Fennell and Providence church, in Abbeville county. Thc following ministers and elders were elected as representatives to the General Assembly, which meets in Little Rock, Ark., May 16-28 : Rev. W. S. Ilamiter, Seneca, princi pal ; Rev. IL C. Fennell, alternate ; Rev. li. P. Reid, Reidville, principal ; Hov. J. L. Williamson, Newberry, al ter nato ; Elder W. P. Anderson, Westminster, principal ; J. M. Har den, Abbeville, alternate ; Elder J. T. Glenn, Equality, principal ; S. T. McCollough, Good Hope, alternate. Tho South Carolina Presbytery is growing rapidly. It is but a short time since only one minister and one cider were sent to the Assembly. Now there arc two ministers and two elders. Two ministers and two elders arc sent for every twenty-four ministers in a Presbytery. In thc South Carolina Presbytery thoro ore twenty-six. There was but one licentiate, Mr. ll. G. McLease, of Greenwood. Mr. MeLease is a gifted and talented young man. His eye sight is seri ously injured-almost lost, it, was caused by thc accidental dischargo of a gun in thc hands of his cousin while they were hunting. Mr. Mc LeaRO was then only thirteen years of age. He can seo somo from ono eye, but thc other is entirely closed. It does not disfiguro him but vory little. Ho was educated at an insti tute for thc blind, and, though quito a young man, is highly educated and cultured. His pronunciation is clear and distinct, and as an orator ho has but few equals and no superiors. When speaking his eye, though seri ously impaired, sparkles like a dia mond. There are few more pious or better educated mon. A more thor ough examination in Ecclesiastical History, Theology, church govern ment, etc., I never heard. Thc ex amination was sustained and Mon day was the day appointed to lioonao him. Several other ml nts tor 8 ?md eldeis, in April was Most Interesting lind-Hearted People. r The Koowoo Courier.] among whom woe Col. H. A. Thomp son, of Walhalla, appeared in Pres bytery on Saturday. They wore ex ou8ed for tardiness and enrolled. Tho total enrollment is now eighteen ministers and twenty-nine ruling elders, a good attendance, consider ing the wintry weather. Saturday night a sermon was heard from Kev. S. J. Cartledge, of Ander son. Mr. Cartledge, too, is a tal ented and consecrated young minis tor, and an ornament to any ch ireh. Dr. J. Lowrie Wilson, ot Abbe ville, was appointed to preach in the Presbyterian church to-merrow, (Sunday) at ll o'clock a. m. The Methodist and Baptist brethren kindly offored their churches lo the Presbytery, and appointments wore made for all thc churches in tho country around. Sunday morning at half past nine o'olook it was my pleasure to attend tho exercises of the Presbyterian Sunday school. But, before speak ing about tho Sunday school, I must say something of tho church. It is a magnificent building. It is built in tho latest style of architecture, and in symmetry and beauty will com pare with that of any city* church. It has a large and commodious school room attached, with folding doors, and in an instant the whole can be thrown into ono spacious structure. Mr. W. P. Nesbitt, a young elder in this church, is the efficient superin tendent. Ile is a graduate of David son College and is a polished and courteous gentleman. I had a pleas ant interview with him respecting his school. Ile has about 120 mem bers, many of whom work in the mills. I never saw a Sunday school better conducted, and brighter or more intelligent faces. Thc singing was of the highest order. In all its accompaniments it would compare most favorably with that of any city choir. Mr. Nesbitt is well equipped with all the lesson helps of the new century. I waa especially impressed with his desk review. The lesson was the "Walk to Emmaus," Jesus and two disciples. Ile pointed to his colored picture roll, illustrating the lesson, that was hanging on the wall, and asked a clasB : "Which is Cleopas?" It wnB answered promptly. His next question WUB "HOW many times, besides, docs his name appear in tho Testament?" This was a sticker. Not one in any of the classes could answer it. He then asked any one in the house to an swer. No one answered. There was a number of ministers present, and ho appealed to them, calling somo of their names. I think it was answered by Hov. J. L. Williamson, of Newberry. Just after thc Sunday school had closed Kev. J. C. Shire, the pastor, recoived into his church seven bright and intelligent boys, five of whom he bapti/.cd. Mr. Shire is a young minister of great ability and an earn est worker in his Master's cause. He is doing a noble work here. His church now has a membership of 185 and is rapidly increasing in numbers. At lia. m. wo heard Dr. Wilson, of Abbovillc. Mia text was Homans 8th chapter, 1st verso. It is a popu lar text. I had heard uovcral ser mons preached from it before, but nover one that was so simply or sat isfactorily explained. But few churches can boast of a minister more learned, more eloquent or more consecrated ihan ibis grout and good man, Dr. J. Lowrie Wilson, of Ab beville. At half past ?J o'clock p. m. a mass meeting of the Sunday schools was held in tho church, the Methodist and Baptist schools uniting with the Presbyterian. Thc speakers were Hov. K. P. Pell, of thc Columbia Female College, and Elder J. W. Todd, thc Moderator. Sunday night a foreign missionary conforenco was hold. Thc speakers wero Dr. J. Lowrie Wilson, of Ab bovillo ; Rev. T. II. Medd, Kasley, and Licentiate R. G. McLease, of Greenwood, who spoke especially to the children. At 9 a. m. on Monday the work of the Presbytery was again resumed. Thero was but little leaving on Sun day and there was a good attend' anec. Tho business was now des patched ns hurriedly as possible, as many, especially among the elders, wished to go. As for ' myself I would have been glad to romain at least a month. I was necessarily absent from tho house much of tho forenoon, and must, therefore, leave it-. In tho afternoon tho Presbytery listened to an interesting address from Kev. Ii. P. Pell, of tho Colum bia Female College, who spoke in tho interest of his college. An ad dress was also hoard from Kev. S. K. Preston, I). D., tho President of Chicora College, in Greenville. Thc pleasant and genial faco of Kev. G. G. Mayos, of Enoroe Pres bytery, was seon in tho house Mon day evening. Mr. MayoB is well known in this Presbytery and needs no in trod notion. He was for yoars an honored member and formerly the clerk. The last and crowning act of tho Presbytery was to license Mr. H. G. McLoasc and hear his trial sormon. At 5 o'clock p. m. the Presbytery adjourned to meet at Greenville church, Greenwood county, on Thursday night, Septombcr 12th. Thus closed, ns I think every min ister and elder will testify, ono of thc most pleasant and harmonious sessions in its history-one in which it never was more royally or hospita bly entertained. # * * As to the kind and hospitable peo ple of Piedmont it would require a separate article to write them up. All denominations-Baptists and Methodists-opened their doors and welcomed to their homes the mem bers of the Presbytery. Each seemed to vic with the other in entertaining their guests. I hope soon, Messrs. Editors, to write you a sketch of this beautiful town, its people, itB churches, its schools, and its mills ; its line educa tional and religious advantages. I had an interview with Mr. W. F. Walker, thc courteous and gentle manly superintendent of the mills, and took some notes from him, in tending to combine them in this, but it would require too much of your space. I shall have to defer them for a future article. In conclusion I must say that if Presbytery always met at Piedmont, il* every session was as pleasant, as interesting and instructive ns this, it would not bo necessary for my church to elect or ask mc to go ; I would offer my services, indeed beg to go.
