The New York World has an extraordinary
sensation in its Paris letter of February 2lst,
published Saturday According to the gossip
OF the French Salons the Emperor, Napoleon
III, died on the 9Th of September last, under
the knife of Surgeon Ricord, and In his place
there reigns the Prince Imperial, as Napoleon

story runs that q near relative of the Emperor,
though not in the line of succession, and bear
ing close resemblance, appears in the place
of Napoleon on the few occasions on which he
is supposed to appear in public. The correspon-

Emperor, who feared European complications,
and that before his death he received promise
from England, and it is is believed from Rus
sia, that they would aid in maintaining the
Prince on the throne. The letter gives various
reasons for crediting the story, and says 1t eX-
plains the recent change of policy on the part
of the French Government. Nevertheless it
appears very like an easily constructed canard

gentlemen of well-known legal attachments,
and all remarkable for pertinacity in behalf OF
their clients. The prosecution will, OF course,
be conducted by Judge Garrin, the district at
torney. and in view of his well-known dislike
for the introduction of private counsel, it is
probable that no attorneys outside Oh the
district attorneys office will take any promi-
nent part in the conduct OF the case for the
