Marshal Ney’s Watch.

The army museum In Paris has just acquired a watch formerly belonging to the bravest of the brave, Marshal Ney. A history attaches to this watch, which was given to Ney by Napoleon. On the morning of AusterMtz, so says the tradition, Napoleon asked Ney the time. “By your watch,” replied the marshal, taking it out of his pocket, “it is the hour of victory.”
