A correspondent writes from Water

EdERr BUrnhan, and Of his history.
We do. And Hs Is Is strange, true
one known TO hundreds, we give & IN

Eee4 some errors those Who speak of
him have fallen into. Eight Years
since, when we were engaged as city
editor Of 4 Milwaukee paper, there
lived In this StBte an editor named
Powell, now connected with Chicago
papeT, think He Is, unless he has
quit il lately.
In 1852 Powell was married to q Miss
Ellen Bnrnham, Of Brodhead, Wfscon-
stns after eouFtship Of some mOnths.
Miss B1Enhan's parents were old resi-
dents Of BrOdhead, and Of high respect
ability. Ths daughter taught music,
had large number Of pupils, and was
very attractive. Powell lived with her
e Q husband two years. she being all
that time good vile In all respects,
presenting him with bat one child. At
the expiration ottWO yeaB. yhen about
tWenty-One years of age, Mrs.. PoWell's
voice ehanged1 she grew Light Wlifskers,
and gradually changed her sex, deVel-
optng into q man, In all respects, e. IL

The husband and WiEsseparated when
the wife became Q man, and Mrs. Ellen
Powell took the name of Edgar Burn
ham, doomed male attire, sought and
obtained employment Is q clerk In
Chicago and lived single man for one
yeAE.
During this time he fell in love with
q niece of Senator Morgan, Of New
York, but did mot marry her, for rea-
aons not pertinent TO the article. But
ABOUT the end OF the year he did marry
4 young lady of Brodhoad, Wisconsin,
? Miss aefta Everett who WIS music

BlEnham, over three years previous To
the marriage. This second marriage
was about TWO years ag0. Som afteF

The former girl Is now q man, the
former wife - now . husband, the f0r-

now that young ladyts husband. Truth
IS indeed stranger than fiction, and
the above simple statement Of facts
border 50 upon the marvellous, that We
could not believe Il did We not person

ANY one can be convinced, by WI.

formation, which puzzles not only The
medical but the entire scientific world,

mOcrney were on their good behavior
before the public, aud felt that there
was = necessity to put IheIr beat foot
foremost In order 70 achieve sueoess in
Ihis county, Mr.. ]. n. Biekol, one Of
thelr most respectable and popular
men, WAS put In nominations for the
House Of Helegates. and, in order to
accept the nomination, had TO resign
the ofaes of City Treasurer, at, no
doubt, very considerable pCCuuiary
sacrifice 90 himself. He was elected to
the House OF Delegates. and the party
was. thereby, for the first time in sew
eraI years, dominant in the county.
One would suppose that his sacrifice,
to say nothing At all Of his qualitica-
tons, on behalf OF the party az a time
when It needed its best men Ia or
der TO propitiate a dIs;rUstfal and sus-
pIclons public, should have been re-
membSred At the proper time. Mr..
BlokeI, at leaAt, seems 70 have been OF
that opinion when he allowed himself
to be candidate for his old
P0SlLiOu before the Convention on
Monday evening. We presume
that he expected the nomination.
AT all events any one would say thai,
under the circumstances, he had a right
20 regard his claims TO that particular
nomination of such character rs
not to he easily Outwelghed. But in
this superstition he aud his friends were
oulta mistaken. Times had changed.
The once meek and nuexaeting rebel
element in the party seem to have felt
themselves strong enough to pass over
the claims Of the moderate men Of the
party aud they accordingly selected n
candidate supposed to be more Of a
man amer their own heart. Just as the
same element ignored Mr.. Lambs
Conclliatory counsels In their STATE
Convention few days before. by over
Whelmlnsly voting down his report, SO
In IKE manner they OVerslaughed the
