The stock market to-day was dull throughout

that there would be a poor bank statement,
testing the list in several points, but their
efforts disclosed the fact that there was some
large buying orders In the market at close to
the ruling prices In many of the more promi
nent shares. Northern Pacific was the weakest
point In the list still, and there is evidence tbat
there has been realizing for the past few days,
but the loss was a smalt traction only, and in
all other cases, with the siugle exception of
New Jersey Central, the fluctuations of the day
were entirely insignificant. Granger stocks,
however, continued to droop, while the Vender-
bills and Gould stocks were strong points.
Union Pacific la stronger. Movements In the
market cad for no comment, and while tfce
general tendency was downward, owing to
the mild preavure of the bears during the early

The Nun’* cotton review says: “Futures
opened at 5®7 points decline, closing barely
steady at B@9 points decline from yesterday’s
closing prices It is a short story with the
market to day. Liverpool knocked the bulls
completely out. Those who covered yesterday
in expectation of putting out their contracts
again to day at better figures got left. A de
cline of 2-64®8-64ths at Liverpool, and an in
crease of more than 50 per cent, in plantations,
were quite too much for the bulls to withstand,
and the improvement of the past two days was
quickly lost. Spot cotton was dull and weak.”

NAPOLEON BONAPART3S NISO,
A Daughter of Jcaei>h Bonapartn and ■
Quaker Girl Who Shared His Exile.
From the Utica Obaerver.
A few days ago the announcement was
made of the death In Richfield Springs of
Mrs. Charlotte C. Benton, daughter of
Joseph Bonaparte aad nteoo of Napolesa
Bonaparte. Though so near a descendant
of a family that made history, there were
vsry few who were prepared on the an
nouncement of the death of Mrs. Byfitoq to
give any accurate facts concerning her HW,
although many with whom she had become
acquainted during har frequent visits in
this city and vicinity knew her history in a
general way. It may not, thererors, be
uninteresting to sketch her history.
When Joseph Bonaparte, who had bqen
King of Spain when his great brother had
thrones and orowss to give away, lived in
Philadelphia, soon after his arrival in thia
country, he met and loved a beautiful
Quaker girl. Her family had been for
long years noted for its respectability, and
it was a great blow to the staid old Quaker
family and all their friends when the quiet
little Quakeress fell a victim to Bonaparte’s
blandishments and Decame for a time
his companion. Outside of her
ants, whose position in Philadelphia
has since been untouched by a breath
of scandal, there was for many years
no one who knew the name of this fair Qua
keress. Joseph Bonaparte soon began to
spend the greater part of his time at Point
Breeze. Some claim that it was while a
resident there that he had bis second affdin)
de coeur, and to a young, beautiful and ac
complished girl gave his heart add what
was left of hi* hund. This is pot so. The
little Quakeress who had left her friends to
unite with him and the Trenton, N. J., girl
were one and the same person. This uuion
resulted in two daughters, both bom near
Trenton. The younger died in infancy, and
the other is the one whose death calls forth
this sketch.
After a while Bonaparte moved his estab
lishment from Trenton to the northern
part of the state. Here he chose to bo
known as the Count de Survilllert. Ha
purchased off Herman Le Kay a tract of
28,000 acres, lying partly in Jefferaen and
partly in the adjoining county of St. Law
rence —all uncultivated ana Dearly all tim
bered land—intending to hold it for him
self and friends in exile as a forest retreat
and game preserve. Le Ray writing of
this purchase under the date of April 9,
1821, to the “Antwerp Company,” said
that tbeoounthad selected “a tract abound
ing with picturesque landscapes, whose
remote and extensive forests, affording rev
treat to game, will enable him to establish
a great hunting ground; qualities of sofl
and fitness for settlers were only secondary
considerations.” This description of the re
gion is a truthful one to-day. for although
miles of the forests have disappeared, much
forest still remaius, and the delightful land
scapes Le Rav spoke of have lost none of
their beauty by the clearing and cultiva
tion of large areas of what is still known as
the Bonaparte tract. By au act of congress
of March 31, 1825, Joseph Bonaparte was
empowered to hold the real estate above
described by deed.
The ex-king remained on his northern es
tate most of the time until soon after he
heard of the French revolution of July,
1839, when ho abandoned his American es
tates, and, going back to Europe, never re
turned. By an instrument dated July 14,
1832, he made Joseph Raphineau bis attor
ney to dispose of his holdings in America,
reserving a tract—goodly in extent but
almost valueless for agriculture—to become
the property of his natural daughter, Char
lotte. The mother’s maiden mame was
Annette Savage, and when Joseph Bona
parte returned to France she married a
Frenchman Darned Delafoiie. Bonaparte
had given her a large tract of land
near Indian river, Jefferson county,
and here they resided in a fine country
mansion for a number of years. When
Mrs. Delafoiie was left a widow she had
three children to provide for, as two had born
been to ber after her marriage to Delafoiie.
Sho moved to Watertown, and aided in
their support by keeping a small store for
the sale of fancy work. From tbs Bona
parte estate Charlotte received $1,200 per
year until the Franco-Prussian war. She
married Zebulon H. Benton, who survives
her, and resides on the remnant of the es
tate in Jefferson county. It is rich in
iron ore, beyond a doubt; but, owing
to lack of tact, Mr. Benton bas never been
able to do anything advantageous with
it, although for many years the couple lived
fairly well upon the proceeds of sales of
piece after piece suitable for timber or pas
turage. But the possibilities in this line
narrowed down, and Mrs. Benton had for
some years aided in their support by teach
ing French in this city and elsewhere. Bhe
was the mother of two children, a son,
Joseph Bonaparte Benton of Philadelphia,
and a daughter, who, it i9 believed, also re
sides in Philadelphia.
Mr. and Mrs. Benton visited Paris in 1856,
and were recognized by Napoleon 111. at of
his kindred, and were kindly entertained
by the emperor and empress, who presented
them with souvenirs, which are at the saipe
time testimonials of the visit. Napoleon
111. at this time legitimized by his imperial
will the union of Mrs. Benton’s parents,
and thus, in French law, made her a legiti
mate child, a fact of which she was cer
tainly proud. He also made her daughter,
Josephine, maid of honor to the Empress
Eugenie, which place she occupied until
affairs in France compelled their return to
this country. Napoleon 111. often said to
Mrs. Beutou, "queje t’aime in speaking of
her visit to France, thus expressing the re
gret he felt that sho had not come before,
so that be might have placed her children
in the places to which they were entitled.
Mre. Benton was known in her youth a*
M:ss Caroline Delafoiie. When in her teens
she attended for soma time the school taught
by Mrs. Evarts on Whitesboro street, this
c;ty. Sho was a particularly handsome
girl, and her eyes were large, dark and lus
trious. and never dimmed by age. She had
many souvenirs given her by hqr mother
that were left by her father, ana she re
ceived many more on her visit to France.
It was her delight to talk by the hour about
the Bonaparfes and the French people. She
wrote a book called “France and Her Peo
ple,” and c ;rresponded with many papers
and several magazines. Throughout her
life, so far a3 known, she had an abiding
faith in fortune tellers, and her belief in
them in no manner departed as her years
increased. Few women had greater ambi
tion, and the downfall of her family and
fortunes was the source of much grievous
disappointment.
