A Nonogcnarian Heroine.
There arc few of our renders, we imagine,
wlio, however familar with the startling incidents
which accompanied the close of tho
/last centurv in Europe-, were aware that the
hulv most eminent for Iter sulleriiigs and
licr intrepidity in the French devolution of
1780, lived to sec the opening of 1857.
When wo read a few weeks :i?o, that MadI
nine Laroehejacquclein had just paid tho
debUof nature at Orleans, in France, we
cotif^s to have experienced a feeling of surprisepmounting
almost to incredulity. We
had supposed that there existed no human
link connecting our own latter half of the
nineteenth century with those turbulent aud
aecouts of all concerncdin tho awful bloody
days. AYc thought that tho strutrale be
tween tyranny and licentiousness hail long
since been settled, and tlic books closed until
the dread day of final audit. Yet wo
now learn that one of tlio most active
participants in the dangers of a period to
which wo look back through along historic
perspective, after witnessing tho melancholy
downfall of the House of llourbon to whoso
fortunes she adhered with a heroism unsurpassed
in all time, after watching tho career
of Xapoleon from his brilliant appearing in
Italy to his sad extinction at Longwood,
like that of a meteor through tho sky and
hearing the shouts of "Vivo la ltepubliquo J"
again and again succeeded by Vive lc roi 1"
and "Vive L Enipercur !" did survive to behold
her native land, after a lapse of nearly

lo whom the Capet was a mild and
merciful ruler. What an extraoidinary series
of groat events did not that ono life embrace
! Tho rise and decay of families and
States ; the most sanguinity shocks of arms
that the world has ever known ; the admin*
i-nations, peaceful and violent, of monarchs
and Presidents, the wisest and greatest of
whom history makes mention ; the culmination
of the brightest luminaries in modern
literature, and rapid movement of unexampled
power and prospority of the United
States of America?it was a remarkable
privilege for one human being to have sect)
all these, and yet Madame Larocejacquelein
did sec them after she had reached womanhood
and maternity. When we first hear
of this lady, in connection with her early
misfortunes as wife and mother, Dr. Samuel

was an infant, Napoleon was a schoolboy,
Frederick the Great had just been committed
to (he tomb, the imperious Catherine
yet occupied the throne of the Czars, George
Washington bad newly entered upon the
duties of his Presidential ollice. The magnitude
and importance of the events which
have .occurred since that time almost oppress
the memory.
The same reflections miglitin deed comc
up to us upon the death of any nouogenariati,
but while there a are small number of human
beings who so far exceed the average
term of existence, there are fewer still who
survive by a full half century the period at
which they became historical, and who having
thereafter passed out of the world's
view are considered by the world as belonging
to a past shut up forever from our senses.
Samuel liocrers and Mi<? 1W?
two instances ihat \vc can now call to mind
of distinguished people outliving by more
than one whole generation their youthful
contemporaries, and Rogers had never escaped
the public attention, but lived to the
la-t in the sight of everybody, his books, his
pictures, his bon mots, his poems and his
breakfasts occupying no inconsiderable space
in the literary journals dowu to the day of
liis death.
Madame Larochcjacquelein was twice
married?Her first husband was M. Lescure,
one of the most gallant leaders of the war in
].a Vendee, that memorable enisode in flm
iicnch Revolution in which a simple and
loyal people, living afar from the contagion
of the capital's republicanism, made a brave
but ineffectual stand for the King. Her
earlier years had been passed in tho proud
palace of Versailles, but after tho royal occupants
were involved in tho thick coming
troubles which ended for them only under
the guillotine, she retired to tho country
estates of her father on the Loire, in the
midst of that little territory known as La
Vendee, and there she underwent a long
series of the saddest distresses, having seen
her husband and'all his friends and colleagues
s- i?
bhicu in uuiuc or cruelly put to dcalli
bv tho. Republican authorities. Bearing up
under all with a gentle fortitude almost superhuman,
she escaped the nearly universal
fate of tho Vendeans, and, upon Ihe restoration
of public order, married M. De
LarOchejacquclein, brother of tho generalisj-imo
of the loyalist-forces whose conspicuous
daring and heroic death had won the
ndmiratiou even of tho Clubs of Paris. Nine
years later, she wrote out tho recollections
oi' her revolutionary-experiences with a simplicity
and pathos which belong to but few
memoirs in any lauguage. Tho work has
fp/inlu "OA'1 A ' ?~ * * TT*
u.?u tiy axiisuu^in iiis History
of Eyrppe, and it were well if the sources of
that'rfriter's information had been all as
truthful, for no trace of biterness is to be
found in the unpretending narrative of her
Bufferings, while the faults of her friends and
thc^eroism of her enemies are recognised
witty oerfect impartiality. It equals in
vttivcfe and womanly feeling the fictitious
"Dairy of Lady Willoughby," and is not surpassed
in interest by the memoirs in which
Mrs! natchinson hasjccorded tho fortunes
of hef gallant husband.
On tho occasion of Madame Larochequek-in's
fuueraj, whi<jb took place at Orleans
iu the month* of February, there was a very

Three Times a Day.
"Adela, my darling ! Adela I"
"She has gone out, grandpa."
"Gone out! with wlioin ? Has she left me
here alone with you, Julictta t"

This conversation was held between a little
girl, about nine yeats old, and the Baron St.
Andres, an old man of eighty. lie was a ^
night of the order of St- Louis, and ' had received
his nightliood and insignia from the
hands of Louis the Sixteenth, king of France. j
lie was now, however, quite blind, and con- ^
Bequcntly almost helpless. Little Mary, a ^
child of six years of aye, made the third one of
w
the party. "Julietta ?" resumed the old man,
after a short silence, "did your sister say anything
to you when she went out I"
"Yes, grandpa," replied Julietta ; she said
to me?'Take earc that little Mary doesn't
trouble grandpa, and if lie wishes to go into the
garden, give him your Land, and take earc ^
not to let him stumble over anything, because
lie can t sec, poor grandpa 1 and Uod lias given
him to us, his children, to take care ol? him
and to obey him, and make hiin as happy as
we can." Oh, I kuow it all by heart, grandpa,
because Adela tells it to me three times a
day : every time before she goes out."
"How! every time before she goes out!
Docs she often go out I" asked the old man,
whose venerable brow seemed ruffled by some .
II
painful thought.
"Tree times every day 1" answered Julietto,
in some surprise: "three times every day,
once in the morning, before you come down,
from 7 to 9 o'clock ; another, from 11 till 1 ; *
and the third from 3 to 5, when you are asleep.
You see ? three times a day. Did you think
I couldn't r-iekon ?"
"What o'clock is it now ?" asked the Baron,
rather sharply, doubtless with the hopo of
findincsome daicrenancv in Julietta'a reckon. 6
ing' . . D
"It struck one just now," Juliettta answered.
"And here comos Adela ; I hear the gar- ^
den gate opening ; and she is speaking to
Mary and the dog. They have gone to meet
her." *
In a few moments^ Adela entered. She was
a young and lovely girl ; so young, she seemed
as if she had scarcely emerged from childhood,
and yet, so serious ana so thoughtful ^
was the expression of her countenance, that
the premature cares of life had, as it were ^
blighted the flower of youth.
"Adcla 1" said the old man, in a tone bo ?ad ^
serious that it brought the quick coloc^ti the ^
young girl's face, whenco come you!" and
stretching forth his hand, he seized that of ^
Adela's, which she had extended towards him,
took it between both his own, gently stroked ^
it, and at last said, in a mournful manner,
"Yon are agitated, my child ! j*ou aro troub- ^
led, yoi^treinble ! Whenco come you f.'
The vouncr crirl did not renlv.

Obtaining no answer, the Baron St Andres t
continued, and tlie slow, solemn accent with li
wiiieh he uttered each word showed the sad a
feelings of his heart. "In 1815 I was a wid- ir

oily one was left me, my sainted daughter si

andonment of Florida to her fate, and fatal
a speedy and succcssful termination of the
ir.
On the other hand, there is some ground for
pposing the step was not taken by the govern:nt
without consultation with (Ion. Harney
nself. In a short paragraph, which we pubbed
yesterday from the N. O. Picayune, the
ncral is is reported to have 6aid in that city,
nt "the war is about settled" and tli^t "Hilly
iwiegs is expected to have nn interview shortwitli
the United States authorities, to make
cparatious for the rctnoval of his people to the
West." It is hoped he may not be disapinted,
though we confess we should have
tferred to see the "interview" nnd actual re>val"
take place, before the withdrawal of the
ops.

What they "Take" in Cincinnati.
J)r. C?>x, chemical inspector of alcoholic liquors, <
for l'orkopolis, publishes a considerable sum- 1
niary of what lie has ascertained in the course
of two hundred anil forty-nine inspcctations lie
Ins made while in office. The Doctor appears
to have drank a good deal, and found it "pizcti."
He says:
I have found nnm<- pure and beautifully aromatic,
while more than nine-tenths (9-10) of
the li<|iioi*?s were imitations?some not nbsolutelv,
chemically speaking, poisonous?while a
great portion of it was, and is, the most pernicious,
poisonous ami villainous concoctions that
have ever been ellcreJ to the public for sale as
beverages, or that ever entered the human
stomnch!
I do not bejieve that there is nt this time in
the city of Cincinnati, one gallon of pure brandy
for every bund red that is in the market, of the
most deleterious stuff called by the different
names of the different varieties of brandy?
which are most miserable imitations, with corn
wiskey as a basis?with sulphuric, nitric and
| acetic aoi Is, prussic acid, acetic or nitric ether,
Guillen pepper, pelitory, ?te., with pyrup or
honey as a covering.
Nor do 1 believe there is one gallon in a
thousand that is in our market (and some sold
every day,) of the different wines?I'ort Sherry,
Muscadcl or Muscat, Sweet Malaga, tte.; that
is not a most poisonous and deleterious admixture,
having as a basis water, and as flavoring
ingredients sulphuric acid, and in large (quantities,
to keep down acetic fermentation, together
with alum, beet-root juice, juice of alderberies,
logwood, oil winter green, grains of paradise,
Guinea pepper, ginger, horseraddish, hops, bitter
almonds, hom y or sugar?some without, one
per cent., or a single'drop of alcoholic spirit of
any kind, or a drop of wine or brandy, dependent
entirely on the great Tuuount of sulphuric acid
for their preservation!
1 have detected the above ingredients inmost
oi the wines which 1 have examined, and the
same in the brandies: and at this time, although
there is a grcut ileal of port wine in market j
called JJurguin.lv port, and the pure juice, ?te\, I
I think il w <ild be a difficult mailer to find
ten gallor pert, and iininy of the other wines
above, tl. >ot imitations, with either water
eider. * , or worts as a basis, with the
other ii 4 added.
1 liuvc ?<Jl .>i, in the course of my inspections,
whiskey containing from seventeen to twenty
per cent, alcoholic spirits, when it should have
from forty-Jive to fifty percent, alcoholic spirit?,
ami the deficiency supplied by a compound of
sweet, oil, oil of vitirol and Guinea pepper, to
make il warming and stimulating, as a liquor of
honest per centage should be. In this liquor
there was sulphuric acid enough in a quart to
almost cab u hole through a man's stomach !

Fai.L This remedy has won for its-elf such notoriety
. ... from its curcs of every variety of pulmonary disease*
' 111 that it is entirely unnecessary to recount the cvicou
deuces of its virtues in any community where it
has been employed. So wide is the field of its use,
fulness, and so numerous the ca?es of its cures,
. that almost every section of the country abounds'
in persons publicly known, who have lieen restored
, from alarming and even desperate diseases of the
' lungs by its use. When once tried it* superiority
great over every other medicine of its kind is tnu apparent
to escape observation, and where its virtues are
(>rt?s ; known, the public no longer hesitate what antidote
; ,*; to employ for the distressing and dangerous all'rc[
j'jig. tions of the pulmonary organs which are incident
* ' to our climate. Not only in formidable attacksupon
the lungs, but for the milder varieties of
Colds, Coughs, Hoausenkss, &c. ; and for Cim. res;
dhkn it is the nleasantest and safest mcdicinc that
ond can be obtained.
Ab it has long been in constant use throughout

people its quality is kept up to the best that it ever
