The growth of the convent was slow, by reason of numerous obstacle* and diffi cult.*-. the chlefcst being lack of money. Madame de la Marche maintained the se verest economy, nearly starving herself for food and freezing herself for fire* In winter, and at length became able to pur chase from a wealthy Colonial land-hold er and personal friend of President Bu chanan, the stately grounds that now con stitute the convent premises About this time a young Irish girl, named Alia Ea lor, liecame companion to Madame de la Rochefoucauld and upon the death of the latter decided upon a religious vocation.

They had one son. Don Augustin, who was about 7 yearn old when Maximilian, at the In stigation of Kmperor Napolean. made his dlsa-trous attempt Upon the crown of Mexico, and eventually paid for It with his life. Wishing to make himself popu lar with the peoj le whom ho pur|>oaed to govern. Maximilian r< solved to adopt young Augustin Yturblde as Ills heir. To th * end, the Austrian archduke made promises of grat peer and wealth to tha parents of the boy; and upon their surtetulerlrig their son under these con ditions, they wre, by Maximilian's or der. banished from Mexico. They again returned to Washington and besought William H.
