A Story spoiled.

We find in the New York Day Book the fol-
lowing authoritative contradiction OF story
that has been going the rounds Of the press;
Poe AND ANNABEL LEE.--Dear Foster The
story you published last week under this head
from the Evening Post, was so good one thai
the public and the papers seem indisposed to
part with it, and determined it hall be true at
all hazards, Notwithstanding your explicit and
truthful denial of it. The shelter, sympathy,
and hospitality part of the narrative we wish
were true and ii Mr.. Poe were alive to-day,
we would be glad to render to him all that the
story attributes to us The circumstances de-
tailed may be true with regard to somebody; !;
but to US, the parents Of the child whose otitu-
nary notice was quoted, they are as jnapplica-
BILE, and were new as to any reader who
perused them. Neither Of us, to our knowledge,
ever saw MIR. Poe, and certainly we never spoke
to him in our lives. We are curious to know
whether the affair is one of the idlest fabrica-
ton, or whether we are bushing under the hon.
ors Of others Will the Milwaukee Free Demo
crat, with whom the story started, please ex-
plain? Yours, &c.

FROM CHNA,-The New York Tribune says
We have received, via California the Orer-

copy the following items;
The occurrences during the month have been

of Mr.. Fast, the Swedish missionary at Fuchau

A letter from Annoy, of the Gath, states that 2s
of the pirates had been beheaded, d that Others
were upon their trial. 1t seldom lies in our
power to bestow praise Of any sort on the Chi
nese government officials but here is a case
where they have acted with degree Of firmness
boldness, and propriety, which we hid not looked
for.
The late Commissioner Lin, so well known
to foreigners by his bold crusade against the
opium trade, while on his way 10 the insurrcc
ton in a district of, kwangsi, was very suddenly
taken i'll on the 18th ult. and died on that day
at Chaokachow-foo, in the Kwangtung province,
in his Goth year. Lin will long live in the
memory of his countrymen in connection with
the part which he acted towards foreigners in
$780, and his seizure and destruction of opium
which induced England to enter upon a China
war. His open and wellknown hatred to for
eigners and innovation, led the late Emperor to
raise him to the governorshp of Kwangtune
province. He is said to have possessed an nc
tive and determined mind. He was ruler o,
whom his countrymen stood mu,h in awe, and
was consequently picked ont from among all
others of the high government officers. by the
young Emperor, and despatched to quell the dis
turbauces which have for some months past ex
i-ted in Kwangsi Fearless in his government
and wi'houtknowIedge of the power and strength
of Western nations, in the early part Of 1886

six weeks, without, however inflicting other pun

kind; and, but for the high measure,
which he then adopted to carry out the polio,
OF his country, it is not improbable that tht

been even at this day concentrated at the por
of Canton.

W The Richmond Enquirer and Wing have
recently busted themselves with some matters,
which may possibly require brief notice from
the junior editor of this paper. The Enquirer
probably errs through ignorance Of facts; the
Wing, as usual, with malice prepense
The Enquirer in referring to the notices of
the Virginia resolutions by the Southern rights
papers, says
"The Columbia IS. CO. Telegraph, branch
of the Southern Press and edited by members
Of the Wing party, to whose ascendancy we are
indebted for present troubles, goes still further
in its idle tssk of heaping contumey on the head
of the Old Dominion"
Now, all the allegations of the Enquirer are
incorrect. In the first place, the Telegraph is
not branch of the Southern Press" and in
no wise connected with that paper and, sec
ondly, it never has professed to be Wing print,
nor supported the men or measures to which
the Enquirer attributes the present troubles
1t is true, that one of the present editors of
the Southern Press was conducting the Iele-
graph, at the time he was invited to Washington
by the committee of Southern members but,
formally and publicly resigned its charge, at that
time, into the hands of friend, who was then
his assistant editor.
The Telegraph was instituted, near four years
ago, for the express purpose of advocating the
Southern question, irrespective of party and to
that great object it has been devoted ever since
without deviaton--one of its editors having
been attached to the Wing, the other to tn.
Democratic party, so long as the Northern wing,
of those parties kept faith with their Sou,berr
brethren. So much for the allegations Of tn,
Enquirer.
The editor of the Wing, of course, could no
let slip such an opportunity for maligning anC
misrepresenting, as well as for venting his petit,
spite. Like all persons troubled with uneas,
conscences, this editor is perpetually attracting
attention to bis own Inconsistencies, and is ex
hibiting both the uneasiness and the rancor O
the renegade. Calhounism" is the spectra
terror that haunts him--the deaths head in hi,
closet--the fly in his ointment--the spider in bis
dumplng-and all his affected com pacency ant
sclfconceit cannot conceal the fact. OF course
it is lugged in on this occasion--tbus:
There II, in short, certain bridge, called
Calhounisn,, that straddes the stream, wide and

Gun CoTros IN EsoLAHD.--Punch says that
hundreds of people have commanced claiming

Now, who would suppose that the writer of
that fippant paragraph had reversed the pilgrims
progress he describes and after attempting to
play the part of HoRArlUs CocLEs, in defence
of that certain bridge, called Cahounism,"
had gone over to the enemy, after the engage
ment? Whether he will ever "come back" ;"
we deem doubtful though not impossible, after
his previous eccentricities We hope not. But
the editor not content with general propositions,
makes a special application, as follows
"If, then, one of the editors of the Southern
Press was ever Whig having ceased, he Will
never be so again; nor keep the Columbia Ieie-
graph of faith which he has himself nban-

under no necessity of vindcating consistency
