K Diamond Romance of a Poor Old Han.
•
At Old Calabar I met an English
man in November last, who was ac
tually suffering from the want of the
neretsaries of life. This English
man was formerly a wealthy dealer
in the sugar trade of Liverpool, and
failed in IS64- Since that time cir
cumstances went heavily against
him, until the A fricaa diamond up
roar aroused his ambition. After
some difficulty he procured a loan
from an old friend so that he might
pay his way out here. Months and
months passed, and the unfortunate
Mr. Sand ford, formerly merchant of
Liverpool, became disheartened.—
He lived upon the charily of those
that spoke his language. On the
fifih morning ot last December, Mr.
Sanford renewed work on a little lot
which he had frequently abandoned.
On that morning he discovered ten
stones, averaging ten carats each.

The Fastest Town Yet—At
lanta Beaten.—The following de
scription is given of the new town
of Birmingham, that has recently
sprung up on the Alabatna and Chat
tarmoga Railroad, in the Northeast
ern part of Alabama :
A little more than seven months
ago the site ol Birmingham was a
cotton field. There was not a hut
upon the place. When the founder,
the indefatigable and enterprising
Colonel Powell, {the present Duke,)
with his surveyor, Mr. Parker, and
his clerk, Mr. Miller, landed at Bir
mingham to lay off the streets, they
were compelled to go into camps.—
On the 8lh wf August, 1S71, the foun
dation for ihe first house was laid,
and on the 29th of August it was
ready for use. On the 19th of De
cember thereafter, the city was in
corporated by the Alabama Legis
lature, (applica’ion having been
made only three weeks before,) and
a Mayor and city Council were im

The Great Spanish Oratop,.—
It is certainly worth a pilgrimage to
Mecca or Madrid to see and hear
that man of men, the perfect orator.
Such an orator, Senor Custelar says,
is Figueras, the Spanish Republican
leader. He has the purest, noblest
character imaginable,—he is frank
ness, sincerity, fidelity peisonified.
He has indomitable energy, the most
delicate political skill, ardent devo
tion lo conviction, and excellent cul
ture. So much for the framework
of his eloquence. His speeches are
sober, correct, and brilliant; earnest,
courteous, calm, and reasonable;
wondcifully acute, and at the same
lime persuasive. When it is ne
cessary he knows how lo thrill the
Cortes with his passionate fervor;
and al li i es he rises to sublimity.
He has the keenest perception of
the weak points in the enemy’s ar
mor, and the most .exquisite sense
of oportunity; he can call up storms
upon the Opposition benches with
the same facility with which he
calms them among his own partisans.
He has a prodigious memory, unal
terable serenity and self-possession,
wears a benevolent smile when his
lips are sending forth shafts of bit
terness, and holds himself in perfect
calm while his hearers are quivering
with the excitement produced by
his elequence. And, v ithal, his
face, attitude, aud action are full of
majesty and simplicity.
