An Imperial Guy Fawks.

A Paris e’ofrspondent ol the Si. Louts An■zeitfcr des . Wes lens writes that the lower classes of the Parisian population are seized .with a terrible suspicion, which the late predictions by the clergy of impending calamity have not tended to allay. It seems that* fyr the last two years the Catacombs, those -immense subterranean quarries out of which Paris has been built, have been closed to j the public. This fact added to the general i impression that the Emperor would shrink from ho means, however diabolical, to suppress a revolution,h as led to the rumor that ! the Catacombs are filled with powder, with train leading to a Chamber beneath the Tulleries, so that in a successful uprisingof the people the Emperor would needbut a lighted match to plow-half the city to atoms, and, in the eonfuion and terror which would necessarily ensue, region his power. {g7~Thcre is a most remarkable rumor from Japan to the effect tbit the Emperor suffered a violent death in consequence of j signing the treaty with the United States. ; It is said that some of. the subordinate ru<k.'rs, tip on being asked for th.'ir approval of .the treaty, refused any sort of concurrence, ■and notified the Emperor, 'that in obedience to the laws of Jap in, the time had come for ■him_to commit “Harik iri,” (suicide.) The 'G reat "Ruler therefore stabbed himself in the rbowels, receiving a blow on the. back of the neck, from a friend and relative, which dislocated the vertubra, producing instant death. ’These reports come through the Dutch .tea- . <lers in Japan, and are considered reliable. (KrA brutish villain in Cincinnati caught <i cat, ari l, and after saturating her with spirits of turpentine, set her on lire. Poor Grimalkin, in her intense agony, ram into the cliatiibef.of a widow, woman, an 1 leaped into the bed and ignited the clothes. In less than a minute the whole room was in ; flames; hut. timely aid being tit hand, tin' fire was extinguish >;I bet >re tiny serious harm was done, though the poor cat was reduced to a cinder by the wanton cruelty of a fellow who'will probably end his .days upon the gallows. Two Years Without Eatini;.-)—There is a ladv now residing in Minnetonka, who fur the past two years,.has‘lived entirely with- | out eating! Her tige is twenty-eight; she is the mother of three children, and enjoys snetderate health.

They woke up in the night nearly suffocated, and found the bed on fire, j tine brick having burst put and b rnt through five quilts, portions of the skirts lying upon ; the foot of the bed, a hole in the mattress, a portion of a night-gown upon (TTie of the laidies. and discolored their feet with smoke. (g(7“( )ne of the New York Harbor Police- i men, Mr. Gibson, has suddenly been pronto- ! ted from the position of commander of a row- j boat to that of commander in the Navy.
