PRINCE NAPOLEON AND THE EM.
PEROn.

We announced yesterday the tolcgrnphic
news that Prince NAPOLEON had resigned his
Office in consequence of the letter of the En-
peror, in which he was consurcd for the opin-
ions expressed in his speech nt AjAccio, aud
particularly for what no said in regard to tho
Imperial policy in Mexico. Prince NAPo.
LBOS was President Of the Council, and has
been ordinarily regarded Ns one of tho especial
friends and con6dRntS of the Emperor. Tho
lcttor alluded to has not previously been
mentioned in the foreign news The Emperor
was In Algiers at the timo tho speech was
made. The excitement produced in Pnris
was great Tho correspondent Of the London

Gen. PoPE AND THE ASSISTANT SECRE-
rARY OF WAE.-Ilere is little story
about Gen. Pope which teaches one OF
the fine moral lessons which are always
so delightful:
! heard, While at Pillow. an anccdote

sometimes very unpleasant man, with a
pompous and hcctoring manner-whicll
will bear REPETITION. While at his head
quarters, the General was approached by
rather small, plain-looking, and entirely
unassuming man, in citizens attire, with
the question:
Are you Gen. Pope, sir 7"
"That is my name" was the answer,
in IA rather repelliny tone.
g | would like to see you, then, on n
matter Of business"
" Call on my adiutant, sir. lie will
arrange any business you may have"

tive voice.

Ny name Is Scott. General" quietly
remarked the small, plain man.
Coafound you. What do care, "
thundered Pope, in rising passion, - il
your aame is Scott, or Jones. or Jenkins,
or Snooks, for the matter of thatY See

What a revolution those simple words
made in the Generals appearance and

was dispelled in II moment, and flush OF
confusion passed over his altered face.
" beg your pardon, Mr.. Scctt, | had
no idea whom | was addressing. Pray be
seated; | shall be happy to grant you an
interview at any time"
Possibly very close observer might
have seen faint, half contemptuous
smile on the Sccretary's lips, though he
said nothing, but began to unfold his bus
mess without comment.
After that unique interview Pope and
the Assistant Secretary were very tre-
quently together, and venture TO say the
latter had no reason subsequently to COM

SINGULAR CoSDCCr or A CARA
cat on Fourth street, below South. seems
TO have been particularly attracted by "A
certain cor. on making the last trip at
night down Fourth street. Tie event of
which We are about TO speak is very sin
gular. For five or six weeks past the
conductor Of The car has noticed Il cat on
tho west side Of Fourth street, Just below
South. Upon approaching the animal.
she hastily runs between the wheels of
the car and remains ON or about the CEN
tire OF the track. Just ~ the platform
has passed over l,er, sire runs towards the
spot she came from and disappears. This
singular affair takes place every night Oh
the last trip of the car The conductor
has never noticed the occurrence on any
other trip. lie observed the singular ac-
ton OF the cat, but, for week or 81
passed it by without giving il any partic-
ular thought. Since then, he informs us,
upon approaching the place, he watcnts
for the fclin, and, sure enough, the ami
NAL is there to make the run, as above
stated. No reason can lie assigned for
TOR the singular behaviour Of the animal.
The conductor informs us that, about six
weeks since, his car ran over and instant
ly killed cat at this place, on the last
trip down, but whether this has anything
to do with the strange conduct of the
other cat is a matter for the curious to
investigate. 1T should also be stated that
the last trip OF the car is not always made
at the same time; there is a difference Of
hours. yet the cat seems to know, without
regard to time, when the final trip is be-
ing made.
