AN UNCRoWNsD QUEEN.
A COlOred Woman who Claims 10 be
the Queen OF Guinea.

CAMDEN, n. j., March S0-Mrs. Rebecca
Barnes, colored woman, living at Broad
way and Mechanic street, has made pecu.
liar claim, well substantiated, to being the
heiress to the title of Queen of Guinea. She
has lived for many years in this city, and
never spoken of her claim. Efforts have
been made, it seems, on the part of firm
trading with Guinea, to discover the de.
scendants of the queen who was stolen
eighty years ago, and who, Mrs. Barnes
says, was her grandmother, because large
amount of valuables have been left in the
hands Of this firm for her. Several persons
have been so thoroughly convinced of the
truth OF all these statements that they have
written to the State department and else
where in search OF information as to the
best methods to follow in al effort to secure
the estate to the woman.
