The strangest Story on Record.

From the Lacrosse Democrat.l
A correspondent writes us from Water
loo, Iowa, asking il we know of one
Edgar Burnham, and of his history.
We do. And, as it is a strange, true
one, known to hundreds, we give it in
the Democrat as it is, that we may cor
rect some errors those who speak Of him
have fallen into. Eight years since,
when we we're engaged as city editor Of a
Milwaukee paper, there lived in this
State an editor named Powell, now con-
nected with Chicago paper, we think.
He is, unless he has quit it lately.
In 1852 Powell was married to Miss
Ellen Burnham, of Brodhead, Wis, after
courtship of some months. Miss Burn.
ham parents were old residents of Brod-
head, and of high respectsbility. The
daughter taught music, had large num-
ber of pupils, and was very attractive
Powell lived with her as husband two
years, she being all that time good wife
in all respects, presenting him with but
one child At the expiration of two
years, when about twenty.one years of
age, Mrs. Powell's voice changed, she
grew light whiskers, and gradually
changed her sex; developing into o man
in all respects, as if nature, anxious for
freak, had turned portion of herself
wrong side out
The husband and wife separated when
the wife became man, and Miss Ellen
Powell took the name of Edgar Burn
ham, donued male attire, sought and
obtained employment as clerk in Chi.
cago, and lived single man for one
year.
During this time he fell in love with
niece of Senator Morgan, of New York,
but did not marry her, for reasons not
pertinent to this article. But about the
end of the year he did marry young
lady OF Brodhead, Wis, a Miss Gerta
Everett who was music pupil of his
when he was Miss Ellen Burnham, over
three years previous to the marriage.
This second marriage was about two
years ago. Soon after this marriage,
Edgar" Burnham and wife removed to
Waterloo, Iowa, where they now reside,
or did not long since.
The former girl is now a man; the
former wife is now husband the former
mother is now a father; the former
young lady teacher of a young lady, is
now that young lady's husband Truth
is, indeed, stranger than fiction, and the
above simple statement of facts borders
so upon the marvellous we could not be-
lieve it did we not personally know
nearly all the parties.
Any one can be convinced, by writing
to parties in either of the places we hsvc
named, of the full and entire truth Of
this.

Unexpected tDenOuement Of tho ouimby
Divorce Case.
A Chicago dispatch says:

The Quimby divorce case has reached
a sudden and quite unexpected termina-
ton, so far as the suit now before the
court is concerned. Mrs Quimby, the
plaintiff ia the case, has been stopping
for some time past at the fremont
House, and detectives we're set to watch
her movements Detective Elliott had
the case in bis keeping this morning
Between twelve and one o'clock, when
nearly the whole horse had returned to
rest, Elliott went to Mrs. Quimby's door
and attempted TO open it, an ominous
rustlng was heard inside, the door was
then forced open and DR.. Fuller and
Mrs. Quimby were found in the bed
room in hagrante delictu. The indigna-
ton of the lady was inexpressible, and
it was feared for time that she would
commit some rash act They were both
taken to the police station and locked
up. Fuller, it will be recollected, was
arrested few weeks since. and kept
locked up for several days, on the COM
plant of Mr., Quimby. The relative
position Of the parties in the divorce
suit, Quimby va. Quimby, will now be
changed by placing the lady on her de-
fense.

B@~ A dukedom will be conferred on
Count Bismarck shortly. There has been
remarkable change ia the feelings of
William l toward his distinguished prime
minister. In 1860, when Bismarck, at
Baden Baden, tried to persuade his

which was carried into execution in 1866,
William got very angry with Bismarck,
and he told Count Schwerin that "that
Baron Won Bismarck is a very imperti

The following extract is from leader
in the Richmond Dispatch:

The following extract is from a leader
in the Richmond Dispatch:
1t is proposed to establish fund, on
which employers might draw on paying
reasonable interest; also to issue food
through such fund, taking liens ON lands
and crops for security. 1t is also recon-
mended thst loan OF thirty millions be
made to States in extreme need, to be
secured by bonds and mortgages on real
estate.
Al this is but quackery-mere oharls-
tanism. II is worse than worthless. IL
is delusion. 1t is water thrown into
the sea, that cannot change the hight of
the tide or alter the appearance Of the
surface; or, like ploughing the sea,
| leaves no trace behind
The bonds will not be paid, and the
lands will be forfeited; and then what
will the lands be worth that lie in a com
munity utterly despairing, and whose
labor is entirely disorganized ? The
Government will find that it has wasted
money in a futile effort to mend the des-
perate condition wrought by its own mea-
sures, and which can only be meneed by
the repeal of those measures. If they
continue, the famed land of rich pro-
ducts, of refinement and hospitality,
must be abandoned to barbarism, and no
resource, no revenue, to prosperity of
the nation and the treasury of the Gov
ernment will ever flow thence.
The proposed millions, il loaned, will
be only so much paid to promote the
power of the Republican party-so much
to Radicalize the South through African
ization-which will destroy the greatest
source of prosperity heretofore known to
the American people. This is what the
nation will pay to continue the blessing
of Radical rale
What crime is this Has it ever had
its equal2 The interests of the whole
nation are thus to be crushed to give
strength to a party by clothing with the
entire privileges OF citizens an ignorant
multitude just emerged from slavery,
who should never be permitted to enjoy
these privileges Gs:;!!, after proper pro-
baton, they proved theirsitle to them by
ell the tests Of intelligence and good citi-
zenship.
For the continued ascendancy of Rsdi-
cahsm all this IS done, and the very IN
siruments by which it sought to achieve
this result-itself curse-are plunged
into misery and destitution so great as
to swell the gale as it flies northward with
cries for bread that at this moment are
appalling to the nation. Millions upon
millions are wasted, as though heaTed
into the ocean, TO maintain bureaus and
military gsrrisons required in the fatal
Radical reconstruction, and all that it
purchases is the placing the governments
Of the South in the hands Of the inferior
race, and reduction Of the fairest land
on earth TO starvation and anarchy
