NapOleOn's Memory.

John Quincy Adams never lost fact
or date, but it was because he kept a
diary. When We read how Napoleon re.
membercd, we hardly wonder that
his self-dependence and self.confidence
amounted to arrogance sometimes. Pow
ers like his justified unusual positiveness
The Boston Transcript says:
The Emperor Napoleon was at Erfurt
A legion of kings and princes had come
to humble their crowns before bis recent
royalty. At one Of the soirees which he
gave ut this brilliant court, the converse
ton turned on an ancient pontitical hull,
about the date of which there was some
doubt. An Austrian prelate indicated q
period which the Emperor contested.
~ am better informed than Your
Majesty on such SUBJECTS" said the prel-
ate, land think am certain of what l

"And for my part" said the Emperor,
II do not say believe; say l am Ger.

truth may be easily ascertained. lie,

wrong will hasten to acknowledge it.
The book was brought. The Emperor
was right. The whole assembly was as
tonished at such an excellent memory on
the part of one whose head was constant.
ly occupied by a crowd of other subjects
"When was lieutenant" said the
Emperor-these simple words-"when
was lieutenant" produced q singular
effect upon all present. All the repre-
sentatives of the old monarchies looked
at each other, smiling.
"When had the honor to be lieuten.
ant of artillery" continued the Emperor,
in louder tone, II remained two years
in garrison in city of Dauphine, which
had but single circulating library. l
read three times the whole collection, and
not word of what l read at that period
ever escaped me. The title of the book
which has just been brought figured on
the list. read it with the rest, and, a.
you have seen, I have not forgotten its
contents"

The Staked Plains.

The plains extend eastward from the
PecOs river in New Mexico and cOnsti-
tutc large portion of western Texas.
The PecOs seems to have cut its way
through the western border of this table
land. The hills rise abruptly from the
river until the surface of the plain il
gained. That is the highest point, and
the surface slopes gently to the east.
No tributaries flow into the Pecos from
the east. The water which falls on the
plains flows eastward, and forms the
many rivers of Texas. 1t is an unknown
land, bOundless and endless. There is a
legend connected with the name. 1t is
said that in the early settlement of
Mexico, a party of miners discovered
extensive silver mines on the eastern
border of the plains, and in order to find
their way back they drove stakes at in
tcrvals along their route, hence the Llano
Estacado, or Staked Plain. But little is
known of this region, although many
have traversed it, particularly Mexicans,
tor the purpose of hunting buffalo, or
trading with the Indians. The gentle
depression in the plains on the eastern
border increase into more pronounced
valleys, as the traveller pursues his
journey eastward, until the waters have
cut their way through the strata Of rocks
and flow in deep aud rugged canons,
from the bottom and sides of which in
Vulnerable springs of sparkling water
burst forth. These springs form the
permanent head-waters of Texas. They
are often strongly impregnated with salts
from the rocks and sulphuric acid
from the vast beds of gypsum under
lying the surface. The plains break
down the eastern border in perpendicular
descents of from 400 to 1000 feet. The
outline is most irregular. The rainfall
on these plains must be great, AZ all the
important rivers of Texas have their
source there. The csnons of the rivers
are generally heavy timbered and afford
shelter for the Indians and for game.
The surface is covered with tiOurishing
grasses, and lakes and streams of fresh
water abound. These plains will he the
great herding grounds of the future
They will exceed the pampas of Buenos
Ayres in the production of cattle. There
the powerful and numerous tribes of
Comanche Indians dwelt. Their power
is now broken. They have warred with
the frontiersmen of Texas until they be-
came weak, and the Government finally
drove them to their reservation in the
Indian Territory. Nothing now disturbs
the solitudes Of these plains but the
herds Of buffalo, antelope and wild mus.
tsngs. 1t is . country to be occupied.
