ATTEMPT TO Poison NAPOLEON AT TIE ALTAR
The Florence correspondent of the Providence
Journal tells the following singular story, proba-
bly, canard:
"On Good Friday, if not at no other time in the
year, all good Catholics partake of the commun-
ion. On that day, the 2ist of April last, accord
ing to his habit, the Emperor was to receive the
consecrated wafer in the chapel of the Tuilleries
Before going to the chapel, he was told that he
.nust not eat the holy particle that to be of
fered to him, as it had been prepared with sub
tie and malignant poison for the purpose of des-
troying his life. The informant was party to the
diabolica secret, but horror of conscience and re-
verence Eor the Emperor led him to betray the
conspiracy. The Emperor knelt at the altar dur
ing the mass, but he did not eat the bread
When the office was finished, the officiating priest
was invited into the apartment of the Empress to
partake of a collation., while the wafer was sub
mitted to chemical examination. 1t was foundto
contain, the Informant had said, concentrated
poison. The priest is now in a fortress in &lge-
ria. The soldier says that the priest was an in
strumentof the Jesuits; but whether in Italy,
Austria, France or England, is not understood.

REMARKABLE FULFILNENT OF a Gypsy PROrH-
ECY-THE CHAMP CAsE.-The Louisvslle Courier
says:-1 here was developed in the recent trial
Of Clamp, ~ Lexington, for committing rape on
his sister in law, Mrs. Champ, curious and
remarkable facts, which partake somewhat of the
supernatural
It seems that short time preceding the COM
mission of the crime, stroling Gipsy had stopped
at the residence of Mrs Champ, and had told her
fortune. The Gypsy warned her of imminent peril,
and pointed out her brother-in-law as the one by
whom she would be most deeply injured. The
facts subsequently disclosed in the trial fully cor
roboratcd the Gypsy prophecy. Mrs. Champ,
also only few hours before the occurrence, had
most singular dream. She dreamed that she
was arrayed in beautiful robe OF spotless white,
that man approached and stabbed her. and that
she distinctly the blood tricllng down and
despoiling her dress. She looked up and saw it
was her brother-in-law, Champ who had commit
ted the unnatural deed. This dream was bIt too
typical of the horrid crime which Champ subse-
quently perpetrated.
The counsel for the defence seem 10 have re-
lied on the circumstances above detailed to prove
the insanity of Mrs. Champ. The counsel for the
lady, however, contended that they W ere premo-
nitions from heaven of impending danger.
