Many anecdotes are told Of the Empo-

less decidedly fictitious, They arc gen.
orally all, however, readable when put in
print. This Is the lhtost one, given in a
Paris journal by a correspondent who was
present when the Emperor ordered a
bridge TO bo thrown over the Ticino for
the passage Of the Imperial Guard'--
His Majesty sent in for the Captain Of
the Pontonoers, and asked him how long
II would take TO make a passage for the
army. 1.-TWO hours and halt, Sire" was
the reply. The Emperor took out his

hour and a quarter" ave will try and

The fastenings, not yet properly secured
were in great danger Of being driven away

his speed. In an hour and a quarter the
bridge was secured on both banks, ant

the Pontoneers was standing on the banl
Of the river wipng his forehead, wher
the Emperor went up 70 him, and shaking
him by the hand, said, Captain, thanl
