Nolan seems to have been passed from
vesse, to vessel. and to have remained
a prisoner for over sixty yeas, and was
made the subject Of innumcraple tradi-
tions and palplble myths. He was strict
TX guarded, and the name of the Uni
tel States never mentioned to him. 1t
is generally supposed, however, that
this myth was originated daring the re-
cent war by some highly imaginative
individual who desired to institute com
parison and SMILES between Nolan and
the rebel leaders. Of course, Nolan re-
pented of his folly, and died deeply re-
eretting the iucuutious words that con-
dcmncd him to life of imprisonment,
which was probably more painful, as 1t
prevented him from interfering in the pol
itics of the country. ~
The mass of mankind embracing many
of the wcll-read have never heard of
Napoleon H., and the reason why the
present Emperor assumes the title OF
Napoleon Ill, is to them q perfect
enigma Napoleon Francis Joseph
Charles Bonaparte, or Napoleon IL, WAS
the son of Napoleon l. the fruit of a mar
riagc between that sovereign and Maria
Louis of Austria, and was from his birth
styled the King of hon.d. Nv ncn his
father, the first Emperor, was compelled
to abdicate in 1914, the King of Rome
went with his mother to Vienna, and was
there educated by his grand father, the
Emperor Of Austria. His title was that
of the Duke Of Reichstadt, and he was
most carefully instructed, especially in the
military art. But he appears to have IN
hcritcd but little of the ability of his faith
er ; his constitution WAS weak, and early
symptoms Of consumption untitled HIM
for the laborious duties of a military ca
rccr On Napoleon's return from Elba,
i'll 1915, an attempt was made to remove
the young Duke to Paris but frustrated
by the Austrian authorities. He WAS
made Lieutenant Colonel in 1881 and
commanded . battalion of Hungarian IN

death, when he was but u years old,
cut him of before he had reached an age
in which be might have displayed amy
abilities he possessed. During his life
time he never assumed the title of Napo-
leon IL, inasnuch as the abdicatlon of his
father was never admitted by the allies
nor was it ever claimed by the French
government But In lS52, when the re-
sumption of empire by Louis Napoleon
rendered some t.tle necessary, be was con
sidercd Napoleon | l., and the new Empe-
ror took that Of Napoleon III. The lat
ter title, however, having been rocoenlz-
cd by the several governments OF Eau
rope, the recognition Of the former is im-
Piled.
