RoMANr1c-.M. Senator Leuy, naoac
Niee.-The Washington correspon-
dent Of The Mthmond Enquirer, who
appears 10 be at home about transac-
tons at Washington, thus speaks of
the change IN the name of the Senator
from Florida:
Il have lately had The curiosity TO
ascertain from friend The cause of the
recen, change of Senator Levy's name
to Tulee; which as it embraces the his
tory of family who have, in a COM
paratively short time, passed through
more singular vicissitudes than that of
any other public man in the United
States, ! feel so strongly tempted TO
lag 1t before your readers, as to over
come my scruples in such cases. So
here it is: His grandfather, whose
name was Yulee, was the first council
lor, or grand vizier, Of the Emperor of
Morocco of those days. The son of
the Emperor engaged in conspiracy
against his fathers life and authority,
which it became the duty of the ances-
tor Of Mr.. Yuee to check and punish;
and in so doing he was compelled to
throw the prince in prison. Shortly
afterwards, and while the latter was in
confinement, the old emperor died, and
his son went from the prison TO the
throne. HIS first acts were to cast his
fathers friend and adviser into the same
dungeon, where he died shortly after
wards, and to order the conhscation Of
his estate. AS the sovereign'S will
was the only law known in Morocco
in such cases, the family, to save their
lives, were forced to fly somewhere
beyond the authority of the new empe-
ror, and chance favored them with an
escape to Gibraltar. Soon afterwards
the father of Senator YuDee. then
young man, went TO Cuba, and, chang
ing his name to Levy, entered into
commercial business. Mr.. Y. was
born on that island, and came with hi,
parents to this country about 'be time
of the cession of Florida 20 tbs United
States, as the world knows He is,
perhaps, the youngest man in he U.
S. Senate, of which he is a most useful
and promising member notwiihstap-
ding the fact that his grandsire was A,
staunch and phlegmatic an old Turk as
ever sat cross-legged ST whltfed tie

Chambers st. Mr.. X. was native Of

months ago, and a particular friend
received letter from him week or

RED to young lady, and intended to
bring his wife home with him; at the
same time int'mating to him not to tell
his mother or any of his folks, as he
meat to surprise them. They both per-
ished in the wreck, and the surprise
was truly heart-rending one, particu-
larly to his aged mother, of whom he
was an only son. He and his young
bride were laid side by side in the same
grave, afording sad reflection as TO
the fallacy Of human calculation and
hopes.
