a WANDERING correspondent ,,f the
Cincinnati Enquirer tells Of Ctilonel
Thomas Powell, "Duke of BiriAing-
ham," so-called, Of Alabama; tn ut he
began his career as barkeeper, and that
Charles Linn, another msgnate OF our
time in the same State, came along with
5 monkey and organ. Linn is a Nor
wegian, and the monkey was from Bra
Ill, the organ from Milan, Powell so the
manor born, and the manor a wre tched
little village in Southern Alall anna.
Powell and Linn and the monkey ell
tered into partnership, ard much whis-
ky was sold; then land was bought and
coal aud irOn-fields, and Birmin CHAM
was founded and wEterworks bull I, and
now water is sold at enormous rates,
this letter-wTiter states, TO the peOp ole Of
birmingham. We have never lIefore
heard such stories 5old Of Colonel Pow
ell, or of his origin, or OF that wsnt OF
generosity in dealing with purcha ers of
lots in Birmingham, which this letter
writer tells; and Colonel Powell should
have these absurd statements corrected,
now given wide publicity thrcu sh the
pages Of the Enquirer.

been lynched but for their protection.
The intensely excited mob pressed for

the Frenchman to the Queens hotel.
From that place the police escorted him

admitted. His arrival at Cork was not

speedily contradicted, however, and the falsity
OF the rumor will crafty many beside the roy
al lady's own subjects. Whatever faults she
may have, she has never been charged with
any violations of good morals, or with any
mistakes so serious as to affect her reputation
in any way. She has been a good mother,
and, contrasted with most of her predecessors
on the throne of Great Britain, is very para.
gon Of virtue. She belongs to long-lived
family George !. lived sixty-seven years,
and George II. seventy-seven. The latter's
son, Frederick Prince of Wales, died at fifty
four, one year less than victoria's present age.
Her grandfather, George I'LL, survived to
eighty-one, and his Queen to seventy-four
George w., and his brother, the Duke of
York, reached 6S and GA respectively, in spite
OF their very disspated lives. William Nv.
nearly completed his I'D year, and the Dukes
OF Sussex and Cambridge were 60 and IS years
old at the time OF their death. The five last
named were the Queens uncles Her father.
the Duke of Kent, was only 50 when he died,
but he fell victim to violent cold. Her
mother died in her 18th year. Some men,
bers of the royal family, during the last hum
1red years, have died young, but they are few
IN comparison with those who have attained a
respectable longevity. The Queen has never
lost child. She has an apparently fair pros
pect OF twenty years more of ife.-Cncin-
