Numerous Excursions the Corning Summer at Reasonable Kates.

Whether the tourist's fancy directs hiin to the New England Stares or the Atlantic seaboard to the South or to the lake region of the North or to the Rocky Mountains and the wonderland beyond the Mississippi, he will be given opportunity to indulge his tastes at a small cost for railroad fare this year. There will be low rates to Baltimore over the Peunsjlvania Lines in May, account the American Medical Association to Decatur, 111., account the German Baptist (Dunkard) meeting, and to Pittsburg for tne Presbyterian General Assembly. I here will also be low rates overthe.se l.nts to Meridian, Miss account the General Assembly Cumberland Presbyterian church the same mouth. In June excursion tickets will be sold overtha Pennsylvania Lines to Omaha account the National Jr. O. U. A. M.: to Chattanooga, Tenn, for the International Convention of Epworth League to Cleveland, Ohio, account the National Republican League Meeting, and to Roanoke, Va., for the txerman Baptist meeting. Excursions for July include low rates over the Pennsylvania to Baltimore for the Baptist Y. P. Union Meetine to Asbury Park for the L. A.

In August excursion tickets will be on sale over the Pennsylvania Linos to Boston, account the Knights Templar Conclave The sale of low rate tickets will not be restricted to members of the organizations mentioned, but the public generally may take advantage of them.

The Asbury Park excursion will doubtless attract many to that delightful ocean resort. Atlantic City, Cape May, Long Branch and all the famous watering places along the New Jersey coast are located on the Pennsylvania Lines, hence this will be a desirab opportunity to visit the seashore. The Denver excursion will be just the thiug for a sight-seeing jaunt thro' the far West, as tickets will be honored going one way and returning a different route through the most ro mantic scenery beyond the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. Variable route privileges will ul.^o bo accorded Boston excursionist". enabling them to visit Niagara Falls, Montreal, Thousand Islands and St. Lawrence Rapids, the White Mountains, the Hudson River territory, and to return by steamer on Long Island Sound, after sight-seeing at Newport.

It is also expected that Boston excursionists over the Pennsylvania Lines will be privileged to return via Baltimore and Washington if they so desire.

In addition to the above, there will be plenty of other cheap excursions over the Pennsylvania Lines to various points. As the season is some weeks away, arrangements in detail have not been consummated, but it is certain that no railway will offer better inducements ih \n the liberal concessions in rates and privileges that maybe enjoyed by travelers over the Pennsylvania Lines. This fact may readily be ascertained upon application to any passenger or ticket agent of 1hesp lines, or by addressing F. VAST DUSEX, Chief AssistanD Gen. Pas«. Pittsburg, Pa. apr6wd-t-stf

The Eia:btii Annual Convention of Republican Clubs. CLE'V FLAND, June 22.—The eighth an

nual convention of Republican clubs has closet. All week there were apprehensions of an embarrassing lighten the silver question, but nothing was disposed o" in all the proceedings so quickly or so quietly as that matter. The committee on resolutions had settled this matter by deciding to report that the league had no constitutional right to adopt resolutions, and its report to that effect was approved.

The first business was the election of a secretary to the ^onvefceion. T. E. Byrnes of Minneapolis nominated M. J. Dowling of the same stare. William Kelly of Wisconsin seconded the nomination of Grant- Eden of Illinois. Delegate Perry Powers of Michigan offered a resolution which provided that the executive committee be permitted to select the secretary. After a long argument this resolution was withdrawn.

The rollcall on the election of secretary was begun, and M. J. Dowling of Minnesota was elected. The vote was made unanimous on motion of Judge Goff.

Mr. Dowling is a country editor, but his official position at present is chief clerk of the Minnesota iiouse of representatives. He is a young man scarcely 30 years old, and is the son of a Union soldier. The position is one involving much clerical labor, and pays $3,000.

The committee on resolutions then made their report. There was not even a show of fight over the resolutions. Nobody raised his voice against them. When Senator Thurston of Nebraska, •who was in the chair, put the motion on the passage of the resolution, a loud chorus of ayes Si:o.se. Only three or four feeble notes were heard when the other side of the question was put.

Votes of thanks were tendered to the people of Cleveland and ex-President W. W. Tracy.

The election of treasurer was passed, and the convention adjourned sine die. It will now devolve on the executive committee to choose the treasurer.

NAPOLEON BONAPARTE.

Ancient Kingdoms Reformed With a Pen Stroke.

JOSEPH MADE EULES OP SPAIN.

Divorce of Jerome and Elizabetli Patterson—Roman States Wrested From the Pope—Auslrians Crushed at Wagrani.

Spanish Army Annihilated.

[Copyright, 1S95, by John Clark Ridpath.]

XVIII.—FROM BAYOXNE TO WAGRAM. In Paris and the environs of Paris Napoleon had five residences. The magnificent Tuiieries—so-called from being the site of an old tile-factory of the Middle Ages—came to him with the reminiscences of Bourbonisrn. Though it was the public seat of the Empire, it was never a favorite residence. The palace of the Elysee was the private cityhome of the Emperor. Here he resided when the war fever was not on. Fontainebleau, thirty-seven miles from the city, was the home in which Napoleon found himself at greatest ease. The palace of St. Cloud was on the left bank of the Seine, a mile and a-half from the city ramparts. Malmaison was the home and property of the Empress Josephine, given to her by her husband. Here Napoleon's domestic life shone in fitful gleams of happiness but the days were not unclouded.

It was at Fontainebleau that, on the 27th of October, 1807, the secret treaty was concluded between the Emperor and Godoy, so-called "Prince of tho Peace,"

NAPOLEON BY L0NG1II.

acting for Charles IV. of Spain. The motif of the business was the closing of the long sea-coast from the Bay of Biscay to the Gulf of Rosas against the commerce and incursions of England. Napoleon easily brought tha Spanish minister and his master under his influence. It was agreed that the compact between them should be confirmed by a partition of Portugal. Godoy received his bribe of 15,000,000 francs!

Marshal Junotwas sent with an army corps to Portugal, and on tho 30th of November, 1807, he entered Lisbon. Maria I. and the prince regent John and the royal family, taking to flight, found refuge in Brazil. Junot published his master's celebrated proclamation to the effect that tho House of Braganca had ceased to reign. For the time it appeared that tho reformation of ancient kingdoms might be effected with penstroke and proclamation.

The Spanish Bourbons had fallen into an imbroglio that might well excuse the interference of a foreign power. Charles IV. was virtually a fool. The queen, who ruled him, was devoid of virtue. Godoy, her favorite, who ruled her, was a conspirator. Dou Ferdinand, prince of Asturias and heir to the crown, intrigued to take his father's life! The king, to save Godoy, was induced by a mob to resign the throne to his loving son, who took the title of Ferdinand VII. Charles, however, instead of embarking for America, according to the compact, soon sought to recover his crown, and appealed to Napoleon to assist him.

It was the appeal of a sick sheep to a healthy lion! The lion invited the sheep and the household of the sheep to meet him at Bayonne, on the frontier. There, in the first week in May, 1808, was held the conference of the lion and the sheep. The lion said that they should all resign their claims to him! Ferdinand should have the kingdom of Etruria. Charles should receive the oastle and parks of Chambord, and a pension of 6,000,000 francs. The rest should be cared for. Ferdinand remonstrated, and ventured on a rupture, for which he and Don Carlos were imprisoned at Valencai. A proclamation was issued that the House of Bourbon had ceased to reign. A Junta was oonvened in Castile a new constitution was formed, and on the 6th of June, 1808, Joseph Bonaparte was declared king of Spain and the Indies.

Personal forces now again appeared contending witli the absolute. Jerome Bonaparte, youngest brother of Napoleon, being at Washington, was introduced to the Pattersons of Baltimore. At the age of nineteen he took Elizabeth Patterson for his wife. The marriage was solemnized by Bishop Carroll. Jerome desired to return with his American bride to France but his mother declared tho marriage invalid, on account of the son's minority. An Imperial ediot was issued to that effect. The Emperor forbade his brother to bring his wife to Franco, and called on the Pope to annul the marriage.

Pius VII. refused to grant the divorce. From 1805 to 1807 Jerome and his beautiful wife were kept aloof. Meanwhile, on both sea and land, he displayed greater talents than were shown by any other Bonaparte save only the Great One. The Emperor wanted his brilliant youngest brother—who in case of failure of heirs to himself was declared successor to the Empire—to be king of Westphalia. He ordered him to iake in marriage the princess Catharine jf Wurtemberg. The wishes of Jerome tnd the despair of his wife wore put

aside as sentimental trifles, and thff new political marriage was confirmed in August of 1807. He who had crowned Napoleon in Notre Dame now broke with him—and broke himself against him. In February of 1808 the angry Emperor ordered General Miollis to occupy Rome. Ho proonoded to punish tho Holy Father by taking nway provinces of Ancona, Macerata, Fermo and Urbino, and annexing them to the kingdom of Italy. Stiil the Pope would not recede. The dispute became hot, and tha Emperor wrested from the supreme pontiff the remainder of the Roman Statea The Pope, in June of 1809, hurlect back his defiance in a bull of excommunication. On the 6th of July the Frencte took possession of the Quirinal palace, gently seized the Holy Father, and conveyed him prisoner, first to Grenoble, and finally to Fontainebleau.

The Spanish people were the humblest of Catholics. The accession of Joseph Bonaparte as king was strongly opposed by a counter revolution. The patriots who favored the restoration of Ferdinand VII. were headed by th» Junta of Seville, and their party was inflamed not a little by religious rancor on account of tho indignities to tho Pope. Nearly a half million soldier* were put into the field, and in support of these came into Spain English armies under Sir John Moore, Sir David BaircE and Lieutenant-General Arthur Wellesley.

Critics have regarded the treaty o& Bayonne and the rupture with the Pop® as the beginning of Waterloo. The romancer—looking only at the dramatis personje—might well begin his story o£ the overthrow of the First French Empire with the pretty face and soft hands of Elizabeth Patterson! But History, deeper than marriages and divorces, deeper than emperors and popes, sees rather the lines of eternal causation stretching through the dust and turmoil, and the mere persons of the play darting hither and yon like ephemera!

Napoleon's banner still rose and floated, for a while, in the highest sky. On the Continent none could resist bim further. Ho sealed all harbors until the trade between London and Hamburg: was carried on by tvay of Constantinople! The German princes, against all prejudices of race and tradition, sought eagerly to enter the Confederation of tho Rhine. The displacement of the Spanish Bourbons seemed to conclude tho career of that race. The old monarchy had become spectral.

The years 1808-9 had this complexion for Napoleon—that he might regard the past as finished. As to the future, he saw that shining like a sun through th® east-windows of the Tuiieries. Neveo^theless there was peace nowhere. If tha past was finished, the present was ohaoa aud the future merely pregnant. His "Continental System"—by which Great Britain was to be left rotting on the sea —roused all the remaining rancor of races and nations. Sweden leagued with England. The Muscovite enthusiasm for France emitted at intervals sulphur instead of incense. The Czar was for Napoleon but the Russians were not for the French. The Congress of Erfurt* in October of 1808, was hollow. Alexander and Napoleon were there also the kings of Saxony, Wurtemberg and Westphalia also the minor princes. The state of Europe was confirmed. Tho Czar should have Finland, Wallaqhia and Moldavia.

While Napoleon was busy withf complications of 1807-8, Austria been covertly arming for the renewjj war. The British ministry gave Fr? II. four million pounds to breal peace! The early spring of 1809 fi the Archduke Charles in Bavaria" wi a tremendous army. Napoleon heard tL*te noise afar. Leaving Soult to finish the Spanish business, he hastened to Paris. By the 16th of April he was at Stuttgart. On the 18th, his headquarter? were atIngolstadt. Out of Wur^embe* and Baden, by the swiftest couriers evoked an army. He threw Jnmser. a tornado on the Austrians, ^gud them back towards Bohemia. was uncovered, and on the 12th surrendered to the French.

On the 21st and 22nd of that occurred the indecisive battles of Aspel-" and Essling. In June the progress of the French seemed to be delayed by tho very excess of their advances and victories. On the 5th and 6th of July was fought the famous and sanguinary battle of Wagram, in which the Austrians were routed with a loss of fully 25,000» men. The Hapsburg Empire was a* completely prostrated as Prussia bad been after Jena. The humbled Francis came to a conference with Napoleon at Schonbrunn. He was obliged to purchase peace by the cession of the provinces of Dalmatia and Istria. Austrian Poland was divided between the Czar and tho king of Saxony. Salzburg was given to Bavaria. Francis pledged his honor to renounce his alliance with England, and to uphold tho continental system of Napoleon.

Meanwhile Soult, in command of the second corps in Spain, had on the 10th of November, 1808, annihilated tho Spanish army at Burgos. He had wrested Corunna, Ferrol and Oporto from tho English. But the tide turned in Northern Portugal, and

driven back by Wellington. A division, under Marshal Moncey, marching on Valencia, was defeated, as was also General Dupont, in tho battle of Baylen» in Andalusia, where the French losses' amounted to nearly 20,000. In August of 1808 occurred the siege of Saragossa, memorable alike in history and poeqjr« Not until February of the following year was the stronghold surrendered to the

French, whose losses during the siege are said to have exceeded 50,0001 It was just after these events that tho hollow congress was held at Erfurt. By the first week of December, 1809, Napoleon had returned to Paris. During: his recent stay in Vienna—perhaps in his conferences with Emperor Francis at Schonbrunn—he had had a thought There was at that time in the palace of she Hapsburgs a girl just eighteen year* Df age.
