Memoir of a liojr,
On Saturday, Napoleon, John Wilson'
old circus dog, died ic this city, at tbe ad.
vanced ago of twenty-three years. Dog's
die daily tbat deservo no particular men-,
tion, but Napoleon merits as fair a share or
honorable reference as any dog that ever
lived or died In tills city. One fact alone
will prove. it. He accomplished In bis life
time more than thousands oilmen do in
theirs; be saved three perrons from drown
ing at tbe risk of losing his own life. Na'
poleoa knew all about the circus, and was
never better pleased than when witnessing
or participating in tbe sports of Ibe sar.
dust arena. When be reached the years of
dogbood, be became subject to His, result
ing from precipitation or blood to his over
wrought brain. He became bis own physic
ian, and instead of rosortiog, as men simi
larly efflcted sometimes do, to stimulating
drinks, which aggravate their malady, be
tried cold water;
Whenever be felt an attack coming on,
Napoleon would start for a bucket of water,
or a trough, plunge bis bead into the water,
aod bold it there as long as be could bold
bis breath. This generally bad the effect
which be desired. As age advanced - be be.
came deaf and blind, and, bis limbs were
stiff and almost useless. The last attack
killed hi in. Napoleon was a "traveled''
dog. Ilecime to this city from New Or
leans when but a youtb, and soon engaged
with Wilson's circus. With that he visited
nearly every county and town in tbo State
and on the ooasl. He visited Australia aod
China, and became a favorite with men
wherever b.e went, for be was honest and
true. Yesterday Napoleon was burled on a
hill at tbe corner of Powell and Sacramento
streets, in tho presence of a vory large com'
pany oi zneu woo uau uiown ana respected
him. A gentleman read a sketch of bis Ifie,
and when tbey alt went away fresh flowers
and wreaths lay on Napoleon's grave. San
