[Copyrifilit, lo'J5, by John Clark Ridpath.] VII.—JACOUIN AND CAPTAIN OF ARTILLERY.

Bonapm'ti! was cashiered but his case was not hopeless. Ho was able to leavo Corsica with such a record as gave him a liiilitiui- chance for recovery. Throughout iiis life a lighting chance was all that ho demanded. By his misconduct as an officer lie had brought tiio disaster on himself. Ho had overpaid his leavo of absence. He had refused to return when summoned to his command. His disobedience wa. rank.

Busy among iho Jacobins of the Corsican towns, Napoleon had hooded not the repeated order to return to Valence. Getting himself chosen, lirsfc major, and

then lieutenant-colonel in tho alleged National Guards, ho had undertaken to get, possession of tho citadel of Ajaccio, and had failed. His leadership, like a rod of glass, broke to fragments in his hands. He and tho whole Bonaparte family wero discountenanced, and ho was glad to get away—being careful to carry with him a military record which he himself had prepared and the colonel of tho Second Battalion had signed, showing his patriotic military services and his rank as an ofiscer. Vv'ith this ho would regain his lost position in the French army.

At Valence, thcro was still much in Napoleon's favor. Tho royal army was literally going to pieces. The organization of tho National Guard in various parts of tho kingdom had drawn off many of tho officers and infected many more with the disease of patriotism. Tho colonel of tho Fourth Regiment was an old royalist who had gladly cut off tho Jacobin Bonaparte from his command. It was useless for the latter to return to Valence, hoping to bo reinstated at such a court. He therefore mado all speed for Paris, whero ho would have a hearing before tho minister of war.

By tho summer of 17'.:^ the roaring winds of revolution wero shaking not only the pinnacles, but tho very foundations, of French civilization. Tho old order was already in ruins. Paris was in an uproar. The King and court, had been obliged in tho preceding autumn to leave Versailles' and come, in tho most remarkable pr:«ession in history, to Paris. Tho starving populace had gono out to the royal palace, invaded it, hooted around it, drawn forth the King and Queen and their ill fated scion, and had hurried them off into the city, dancing about them en route and shouting in wild jocularity that now they had tho baker and tho bakerass and tho baker's littlo boyl All this wreck of royalty and nobility heaped itself up in the Tuileries, out of which the ancient monarchy of the Bourbons looked with wan face at tho weltering world.

It was to this Paris that Napoleon came, with a billet of dismissal and petition for reinstatement. One war minister after another, to the number of six, had now filled the important office before which Bonaparte stood a petitioner for rehearing. The new minister •was a Nationalist and favorably disposed towards the Corsicau adventurer for the lattor cauie with a haggard revolutionary face and long hair hanging to his shoulders. Tliero was delay in the offico and Boiraparte, with his former schoolfellow and future secretary, Bourrienne, was well nigh starving in the streets.

To add to his distress, the Royal School for Girls at Saint Cyr, under the immediate patronage of Marie Antoinette, went to pieces, like other existing things and Elise Bonaparte was turned adrift with no friend in France except her sullen brother. To tho credit of tho latter, he clung to his sister, and presently took advantage of her presence to got another leave of absence, "in order to conduct her home. But ho did not do so until his cause in tho war-of-fice had, on the 30th of August, been decided in his favor. Ho was exonerated, restored to rank, promoted to ft captaincy, and to crown all the now commission was dated back to the preceding February.

This was a great victory for the inan of destiny. He was Cajitain Bonaparte. Taking Elise by tho hand, he sped away to Lyons and Valence—where ho paused to be seen iu his new regimentals—and then to Marseilles and Corsica. His return brought together at Ajaccio all the members of the family of Bonaparte. He left behind in Paris tho Countess Josophine de Bcauharnais, aged twentynine. And yonder at Vienna, in her Hapsburg cradle, nine months old, lies the girl-babe Maria Louise. These two

shall have relations with history in the next two decades! Franco had now become an ocean of molten brass, seething, bubbling, breaking along tho billows into flames of lurid light. The Revolution was coming to its crisis. Hunger and despair in the hearts of men had done their perfect work. War was on with Prussia and Austria an:! England. The emigrant nobility across the borders was in league with the enemies of the French nation. That nation had sprung up, an infuriated tigress, and woe be henceforth to traitors! There was intrigue between the dying court and the Emigres beyond the Rhine. 1: was now or never. Tho Terror came on chateaus were flaming the streets were slippery with red the axe went always up and down in the Place de la Revolution the day of death and extermination was at hand.

Tin's eo.vi'lrnm of affairs in the estincfc kingdom of tho Bourbons brought the revolutioni"ito o? France and thoso of Corsica into closest sympathy for Jacobinism is universal. It is simply humanity in insarrection. Whether it be in France, in Germany, in Italy, in the Mediterranean islands, in England, or tho parrv-er.rsed cities of the United States, it is all tin Fame. The only question with Bonaparte now was whether his destiny might bo better attained by tho leadership of the Corsican revolutionists or by allying himself with the Jacobins of Paris.

With skillful duplicity ho did both. Corsica, on his return, was in a ferment. The popular party was at one with the French democrats. The National Convention passed a decreo that the exiled Corsican patriots might return. Paoliwent home by way of Paris, where he was recognized as a hero and mado lieutenant-general and military governor of his native island. Franco was divided into departments, and Corsica was declared to bo one of tie'He.

Meanwhile, tho world was turned upside iwn. The Convention had taken the autumn: equinox of 1792 as the date of a new era for mankind. It was an epoch of universal abolition. The marvelous thing was that while tho old expired under tho stroke of tho destroyer's wand, tho new did not spring up in its place. The King was brought to trial and death. The proud daughter of Theresa went swiftly after her lord.

Moderate patriots throughout France and tho world were alarmed and angered. Washington would follow Liberty no further. Paoli, establishing himself at Cor to, stood for moderation. Ho was too old and conservative to bo rebaptized in tho muddy waters of Jacobinism. But Captain Bonaparte at Ajaccio was not of such mind and kind. Ho found himself at this juncture on two iniiitarj' steeds, both going in tho same direction, but at different rates of speed. Ho had never resigned his commission as colonel in the Corsican National Guards but ho now held a commission as captain in tho French arm .', and was receiving pay from the, national treasury. His captaincy and his colonelcy did not consist. Ho temporized and intrigued with the revolutionists during tho winter of 170:J-!i had an interview with Paoli at Cor to departed without satisfaction broke with tho governor, who ceased to bo a hero in his eyes made a conspiracy to invade Sardinia tried to obtain an independent command fell under condemnation of the Paolists, and in June of 17!)-5, was obliged to leavo Corsica with all the family of Bonaparte.

Napoleon arrived at Nico on the 18th of June, and there rejoined his company. The Fouith Regiment, to which he belonged, had been transferred to tho extreme si intheast, as a protection against the menaces of tho world along that threatened coast. Tho whole valley of tho Rhone was allamo Vvith the Revolution. Horror on horror had been heaped throughout Franc :.

Napoleon became a French Republican soldier. He was a soldier of fortune in a sense more profound than that phrase had ever before conveyed. It must be confessed that tho hardships and merciless conditions through which lie had passed, bearing with relentless pressure on his tremendous mind—inflamed as it was with unquenchable ambitions—are bettor calculated to exeite tho compassion and sympathy of after times than to kindle against him that anger and censoriousness which a merely logical consideration of his shortcomings, failures and unprincipled schemes would suggest. Tho judgment is mitigated iu contemplating such a character emerging from obscurity, under tho play of complex forces, into the foreground of light and action.

The regiment of Captain Bonaparte constituted a part of tho Army of the South, under command of Goneral Carteaux. It was the business of this division of the French national forces to oporato for tho recovery of Marseilles and Toulon for these cities were held by the enemies of France. They had fallen into the power of tho English floets, assisted by the local loyalists. The situation was striking. Patriotism was aflame in both the cities but the representatives of the late monarchy, protected by a foreign power, were not yet down. It was out of-Marseilles that, in July of the preceding year, a band of patriots, most unique and strong, had marched to Paris, singing on the way and to the very porchos of tho Tuileries, that famous war-song which Claude Joseph Rougot de Lislo had given to the French nation and to all free men.

So against Marseilles and Toulon, for wresting them from tho English and loyalists, the forces of Goneral Carteaux aro, on the 9th of October, 17»3, divided and sent. Captain Bonaparte's regiment, with others, is directed against Toulon. Ho is given command of a section of tho artillery, and is at last in his element. Now for tho first time ho is able to direct a battery against the enemy, and to utter that tremendous word, "Firo!" Hero and now the cloud of obscurity lifts from tho life of this extraordinary character, revealing him to the world as one of the greatest in the annals of mankind:

JOHN CLARK RIDPATH.

BEFORE THE PUBLIC.

LATEST BID FOR NOTORIETY BY TWO QUEER ENGLISHMEN.

The Marquis of Queensbcrry and Oscar

Wilde—A Pugilistic Patron and an Apos

tle of jlCstheticism at Loggerheads—Their

Peculiar Public Careers.

[Special Correspondence.

LONDON, March —It would be hard to find two more notorious men than Oscar Wildo and the Marquis of Queensbcrry, Whose differences, as you have no doubt been informed by cable, have just culminated in a suit fur libel brought by Wildo. Tho present complication will no doubt add to their notoriety, if such a thing bo possible.

Although tho marquis is best known to tho world at largo because of tho famous pugilist io rules that bear bis name, hois identified in tho minds of Londoners with ail sorts of queer things. About two years ago ho becamo so enraged at Lord Kosebery, tho present premier, but-then a member of Mr. Gladstone's cabinet, as to threaten violent retaliation upon the noble socrelary's person. Tho cause of Queensberry 'g anger was tho action of Itosebery in crating Queen sherry's son, till then only Viscount Di'umhinrig—the holder of a "courtesy" title merely—an earl, thus making him outrank his father and entitling him to a seat in the house of lords. Until lJiSO tho marquis himself had a place in tho upper house as a representative Scottish peer, but ho then announced himself a free thinker, and that shut him out. When liosebery was made a member of Gladstone's cabinet, one of his first actions was to choose for his private secretary tho sen of tho sporting marquis. Tho secretary suited so well that ho was shortly mado tho Karl of Drumlanrig. Queensberry began at onco to write letters to liosebery, tho queen, Ghidstono and every cno else lie could think of as possibly having something to say in tho premises. His failuro to receive replies to any of his letters caused him to declare that he knew a lot of awful facts in tho biography of liosebery, which he proposed to show up, adding that if an assault wero necessary in order to draw attention to the "showing up" he was quite "prepared to commit that assault."

Lord liosebery failed to pay any attention to Queenshorry's threats, so far as tho public knows, and in due timo tho matter died out. Tliero aro plenty of persons who think a similarly silent courso on tho part of Oscar Wikle when an offensive card was sent to him by tho marquis of tho prizo ring would have inspired greater respect from tho public than has tho arrest of the card writer. But Wilde is a man who never lets slip a good opportunity to get an advertisement, and although tho advertisement ho is now receiving is not to bo obtained without expense and would not be pleasing to most of us it will prove a good one if extensive dissemination be the proper standard.

Wilde is essentially a product of the second half of tho nineteenth century, though, to the credit of tho raco and tho ago, ho is

MAIJQUIS OF QITEKNSHERRY.

not a typical one. Cultivated lie certainly is, but ho must not be considered primarily as a cultivated person. His chief charactcristics are clever impudence and a Willingnoss to do almost anything for monoy. Who but a man of these traits could havo displayed the nerve fie showed during his memorable tour through the United States, when he attirod himself in knee breeches and appropriate accompanying garments and lectured in stained glass attitudes with a sunflower in his hand? There wore those who thought him a bit daft at that time, but it was seen long before tho conclusion of hia tour that bo know a Jot.

Yet notwithstanding Wilde's keonness he was easily bunkoed during that visit to tho States 12 years ago by ''Hungry Joe" and has more than onco said since then that tho notorious confidence man had much greater ability in several directions than any one else ho had ever met.

Many people havo forgotten that It waa Du Maurler, tho author of the much discussed "Trilby," who first exploited Wildo, yet BO it was. Du Maurior, though himself a very clever person, seems to havo been taken in by Wilde quite as much as WHde waa docelved by "Hungry Joe," for the artist evidently accepted the posings and other nonsense of the*'apostle of oesthetieism" ns sincere, else he would not havo caricatured him, thus furnishing tho desired advertisement. Gilbert and Sullivan took WHde in similar fashion, and in their opera of "Patience" did him a similar favor. Now Wilde oan laugh at them all, for MB plays and books, albeit some of them, as Georgo Parsons Lathrop has said, are "disgustingly filthy and a-reek with unnatural debasement," are exceedingly successful, and ho has money a-plenty. But, after all, it would seem that ho haB paid a high prico for it.

At tho hearing in tho polloe court the ether day, at which Queensberry was held In $7,500 bail for trial for libeling Wilde, the oourt was erowded with well known people. Mr. Wilde, wearing a long, dark bl»e overcoat with velvet cuffs, drove to tho polioo court in a carriage and pair, and with a footman as well as a coachman. Mr. Wilde began his testimony with an air of languid loftiness. When asked if bo was Oscar Wildo, the author and dramatist, ho roplled: "I think I am woll known." "Answer the question, please,- sharply intorposod Mafflt rate Newton "Yes," answered Mr. Wilde, assuming a loss important air after tho reproof.

English newspapers aro not allowed to comment on a oase of this kind when it la In oourt, but tbe Impression Is that Wilde will win tbe suit. C. W. OLDBOHN.

La Discussion, published iu Havana, March 2:3, gives tin.' following: "In Madrid the troops designated for Cuban service have had their chiefs and officers assigned by regular lottery. There are four battalions and seven regiments, aggregating about 8,000 men. The torpedo catcher Galacia will shortly arrive in Havana, also the armored cruisers Filipinas and Marquez de Melius. The troops that embark from Spain need no armament, for in Havana there are 10.000 Mausier and 40,000 Remington rifles, with 2,000,000 cartridges for the former rifles. Two million more., ridges are expected from Spain. "R

STEAMER EARNFORD ARRIVES.

The Captain Says That a Sailor May Have lieen Shot in Santiago. BALTIMORE, March 20. Captain

Jamieson, of the steamer Earnford, which arrived lust night from ui de Cuba, says of a recent report "I heard nothing of a sailor irom the Laurestina being shot at Santiago, yet it is possible, for I know there were some seamen ashore drinking the very night I left. In fact I was challenged myself that night on my way to the Earnford, by a sentinel with his bayonet very close to me. My explanation was respected by the o.ffieer of the guard and I proceeded unmolested. "It may be that the man who is reported to have been killed became pugilistic and received a shot. The Laurestina was to sail for Baltimore the day after we left. Everything was quiet about Santiago the last night I was in port, which was the 16th of March. Revolutionists were reported in small bands." CUBAN RALLY IN PHILADELPHIA. AZ.itlle Cubital Patriotism .Starts a

PHILADELPHIA, March 20.—Another enthusiastic Cuban rally was held in Industrial hall last night. Marcos M'orales, president of the Cuban society, presided, ano sitting by him on the platform were Receiver of Taxes Roney and Coroner Ashbridge, the latter of whom made a brief speech. Other speakers were E. Trujillo, editor of The Parveno of New York, Estada Palma and H. S. Rubens, both of the same city.

At the close of the last speech Manuel Herrera Rose I, a boy of about iO years, leaped to his foot and cried in Spanish: "I am only a little Cuban boy, but I will give 10 cents for a bullet to down the tyrants. Every man ought to give a rifle."

He placed his dime on the platform, and in the coarse of a few minutes the sum had been increased to $150.

Uprising in Havana .Supprc.s" d. KEY WEST, March 20.—A passenger

from Havai i, who lias just arrived, says that on by prompt action Captain General Cal. '.ja narrowly averted a serious uprising ui Havana. Since the imprisonment of Gomez, the negro leader, his sympathizers have been very much incensed and worked up a scheme to attack the palace. The time chosen for this attack was Friday night. The government learned of the impending trouble, how jver, and the captain genend instructed his officers to use every possible precaution. The guards around the palace were doubled and a hundred soldiers were stationed inside. The city patrol was h. ivily increased. The negroes, heai-ii of these precautions, gave up the scheme. It is said that the pluu was for the sole purpose of releasiug Gom /. Two Cuban Revolutionists iu New York.

NKW YORK, March 20.—George Henriquez and Fernando A. Debeagas were passengers on board the Ward line steamer Orizaba which arrived from Havana yesterday. These gentlemen were reported as halving been compelled to leave Cuba or take the consequences jf Spanish law for supposed sympathy and support of the Cuban revolutionists. They are supposed to have a special purpose in visiting this city.

In regard to the report recently cabled from Londoc that the entire British and Russian Mediterranean fleets were to lie ordered to the Pacific, Captain Mahan said: "That, I think, is not at all likely. Before I left some ships of those fleets had been ordered to the Pacific, but it is higlily improbable that either England or Russia would leave tho Mediterranean stations without a fleet of warships.

ENGLAND'3 ULTIMATUM.

yjic Stait liepartmeut Deeply Concerned in This .ITattcr. WASUIWI'UN, prch 20.—Dr. Guzman, the Nicaragua:I minister, was at the state department Monday and th& inference is that he h:: been consultingSecretary res hum respecting the British ultimatum. It is evident that the Ptate department is deeply concerned in this m.liter unit a statement from Ambassador Bayard, explaining tho purpose of Gloat Britain, is anxiously looked for.

It is not believed th.it our government can tibjerf. to the creation of a commission oi fair complexion to ascertain and lix damages sustained by British subjects in Nicaragua, and the issue appears to havo narrowed, down to the demand of an indemnity oi fc?5,000 for the expulsion of Mr. Hatch, the British consular agent at Blueiieids. It is felt here that owing to lue depressed financial condition of Nicaragua, this is ra'her an exhorbi'.aut deniaml. bin. aside from this there is already a deposition to examine into the matter further and ascertain whether the Nlearaguun government did not act entirelv withm its rights in expelling the conul.ir agent. lr was charged by the Nicaraguans that Hatch. wh.. was not a din.tom.atK*. officer, and so could claim no exemotioii on that score, took an active part tho political turmoil at Biueiields. and (Lid much to secure the ovennrow* of tho Nicaragua!!, government in the town, and the reinstatement of duet' Clarence. If this wore true, then under ordinary conditions there would bo little doubt of the right of the Nicaragua government to expel ban rroni the country.

But the conditions in Bluctieids at the time wero not ordinary, for according to tiie British contention the Mosquito reservation was actually under a British, protectorate up to the date of the Mosquito convention, which resolved upon the incorporation of their rands into Nicaragua, and that before tins latter date the Niearaguan government could not exercise any such right as thai: of expulsion or the oppresion of British subjects in the reservation, hence the demand in the case of Hatch is entirely different from any case, on record, and it is felt at the state department that it will require the exercise of great caution to safely determine upon a line of policy that will not lose for the United States the respect of the smaller republics and at the same time will not violate any of the principles of international law and equity.

The Ultimatum Located.

BALTIMORE, Marclf 20.—The City of Para, with broken blades, .has been towed into Norfolk. The accident will cause no serious delay. Among the passengers on board the vessel is Senor Modesto Barrios, the envoy exiraordinary and minister plenipotentiary of Nicaragua, who was bound home to Leon, Nicaragua. He is carrying tne ultimatum from Great Britain to lus govment regarding the Aateli ainur.
