NapoIeon's Memory.

Napoleon had a wonderful memory When emperor, he once surprised his council with his intimate knowledge of Roman law and was asked how he had obtained it. He stated that when a lieu tenant he had onco been placed under arrest and was i'll prison for two weeks During that time the only book at his command was treatise on Roman law He sat down and in two weeks mastered the volume so completely that 20 years later he could repeat long passages from its pages He never forgot face or a name and would often greet private sol. diers by their names, sometimes allud- ing to tho march or the battle where he had seen them before He kept ill his head all the details of his military movements, and it was said of him that during the march to Italy and Marengo he knew where every pound of the sup plies for the use of the army was located It is said that he remembered the name of every officer to whom he ever issued a commission.

An interesting incident is re- called by Schuckers' death which has never found it's way in the newspapers.

At this par tlcular time he was trying a case at Cleveland. Young Schuckers was in these days yeritable dude and very sprucy.
 He went to Cleveland to have a time, as he always left Wooster to celebrate, and was having a good glorious time on thls particular occasion. He was small and wiry in stature and always carried silk umbrella. It happened that he met McSweeney in the rotunda just as ne had finished an argument and while the sale of the Lake Shore railroad was going on.
