A RErrsER OF CROwNs.-A Washington
correspondent of the World tells the follow
ing more or less credible story:
Some little stories which are told OF the
king dOwager of Portugal lit such term
may be used) are worth repeating Ill THIS
connection. This gentleman was king con-
sort, and is the father OF the relgnmg mon
arch mot Saldanha, but of the complainant
king). Don Fernando. the usual title OF the
royai parent, has, since the death OF the
U,ieen. his wife, married Boston lady,
Miss Eliza Hensler, who was formerly an
actress, and for whom the king has cherished
an attachment for many years. Don FER
nandO has had the irregular strength OF
mind to refuse three crowns. 1t may sur
prise Americans to learn the DOMINION ten
dered him with the first throne offered MN.
Early in 1861, when it became certainty
that civil war was about to break out III
the United States, and European powers
were beginning to take steps IN relation 10
it, q gentleman who tells the story, anu VINO
was at that time in the diplomatic service III
Lisbon. was invited to breakfast with Don
Fernando to discuss some questions OF III
portance. Arriving at the appointed liouI'
he was desired by one OF the kings attend
ants to wait for a short time, as the french
Minister was with his Majesty. When the
audience was over. and the king and his
guest sat together at breakfast, the former
said: What offer do you suppose have
lust received - The visitor was unable TO
conjecture. THE Emperor OF France" con
tinred the king has offered me, through
his minister, the Empire Of Mexico: Texas;
Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, Georgia and
he went on to name over all the Southern
States. Impossible the visitor exclaimed
in blank amazement. 1T is true" said the
king "And may ask what answer your
majesty made?" Il told him." was the
reply, that if the Emperor had made Inc
such proposition before he HI had 3 seen me =,
should have supposed that he had merely
made a mistake; but, since | have the
| pleasure of his acc uaintance, | think l must
have impressed him as a fool" After this
| pointed refusal, the Archduke Macmillan
was selected, and proved more willing in
strument for the carrying out OF Nap0leons
schemes. Since 1861, Don Fernando has
had offered him the crown OF Greece, and
afterwards of Spain, both Of which he de-
clined as promptly as he did the first, though
not with the same indignation.
