miserable and guilty Victoria Was six years old it was deemed important by the court and parliament of England that she should be invested with more of that splendor which in Europe generally is considered so essential to royalty The income of the Duchess of Kent was then thirty thousand dollars annually which was re garded as a small sum to enable her to maintain the rank of even a But now that she had royalty in charge Lord Liverpool proposed in Parliament that the government should add thirty thousand dollars more annually to her purse Sixty thousand dollars were thus the generous approbation England con ferred upon the widow and her child The appearance of Aictoria at this time is thus described by an eyewitness When I first saw the pale and pretty daughter of the Duke of Kent

think the nigger and the white man didnt come from the same seal Kernal thats deep question see its on possible to tell what the Creator may have done He have made only one kind of man at fust and then alter ed their constitutions and complexions and brains afterwards You see every thing is to the Creator Or the nigger may have come from Ham who was cussed for his sins but then I dont see that it is agin the to believe that all of men were made at the as there are now But it dont maie enny difference how they come so solong as they are different You cant ehny more make a white man out of a nigger now than you can breed a lion out of a pole cat You see its clar agin nature to expect to make the nigger anything but a nigger You cant get a peach out of a crabapple nor a pumpkin out of a nor eagles out of ducks eggs You cant raise chickens from eggplants or pro duce goslins from gooseberries You see Kernel in nature must o according to nature If the nigger lad been made equal to the white man led been made just like a white man ind the very fact aint made so s proof positive that lie warnt intended o be put in a white mans place Try ng to make a nigger a nigger act like a white man is just like old Sol Hopkins nc year harnessing his old ox and his orse together to plow The ox vas lazy as ho could be and the boss was a young highstrung and such a pullin and haulin team you

father the Duke of Kent The blow to mother was so severe that for a longtime it was doubtful whether she would survive the affliction This event rendered it cer tain that the unconscious babe if its life were preserved would become Queen of England A deputation from the House of Commons waited upon the mother with condolence With weeping eyes the Duchess of Kent met them and in her own arms present ed to them the smiling babe destined to be the sovereign The mother of Victo ria was a noble woman endowed with all generous and womanly excellence For the frivolities of fashion she had no taste and her life was devoted to doing good The Duke of Kent was one of the most estimable of men rarest unaffected zealous in all efforts for the promo woman of distinguished accomplishments was now appointed governess to Victoria and her education was prosecuted with renewed diligence That she might be uninterrupted in her studies and might have unbroken hours of sleep it was very wisely judged best that she should be withdrawn from all general society and assume the position of a little girl at school Her education was solid and thorough She was taught the history of her own country its laws its litera ture and the rudiments of the most important sciences The mother of Vic toria was a German From infancy the royal child was tought to speak English German and French with about equal facility She also made much progress in Latin as to read Horace with some fluen cy She had a very decided natural taste for music and became quite an ac performer on several instru ments Drawing also she cultivated to such a degree as to sketch from nature with correctness and pleasure Great attention was devoted to the physical education of the prospective queen She took long walks in the open air and became a very expert equestrian In fact every thing was done which wis dom could devise or wealth execute to prepare this young maiden to sit upon the throne aud to sway the sceptre of the most powerful nation on the globe The beautiful old palace of Kensington secluded amidst lawns and parks and gar dens was her favored home Occasion ally a very beautiful little boy a cousin of hers Albert came from Germany to visit his aunt The two children as plaj mates became strongly attached to each other This was the prince Albert who subsequently became the husband of the a noble man of cultured mind of warm affections and of sincere piety These were by far the happiest years of Victorias life On the 20th of May 1837 Victoria attained the age of eighteen her legal majority The day was celebrated with ringing of bells and all the tions of popular joy The highest dig crowded the saloons of Kensing ton to pay homage to the future queen Albert was there at the time a splendid boy of her own aga Little did the in jer human happiness He was the t maiden then imagine that the day of her idol of the and after Iris j coronation was so near at hand In less death a monument was erected in com than a month from this time on memoration of his virtues in Portland j of June William IV suddenly died Place London When Victoria was At five oclock in the morning the Arch still quite a child took her j bishop of Canterbury with a due diy to sec this With nobles repaired to of to an about the grate principle of the equality of all men niggers Chi and so on and now they want m to apply the principle and Im going ti do it I think there is sum humbug in it but I dont exactly se where and as they will give me no and will never be unti it is done Im goin to put it ses I Kernel go but look out for squalls Perhaps ses I you never the story of Zenas Hump eon applying the I hop you wont hev as bad luck as he ses Linkin I never heerd that story was it scs I Zenas was a good feller who lived in and a sort of a chap allers and for ever into things If he got a clock hed take it all apart with his jack niie jest to see how it went together So about the time the telegraph was started and and was set up in our town Zenas was puzzled to deth to git the hang of the critter as he called it One day he went to the aud asked the feller to show him about it The chap was very perlite and ex to him the grate principle on which it worked but Zenas didnt ex see through it and kept axin ques tions and botherin the fellow till he got clean out of Finally ses he to Zenas Perhaps you would like to see me apply the Zenas sed he would of course ses he then you jest take hold of them brass nobs and stick to em So Zenas grab bed hold of them like all possessed but he hadnt more than fairly got hold be fore he lay on the floor The principle had knocked him clean over Now Zenas was a fellow to smoke and allers carried bis pockets full of matches to lite his pipe with It so happened that he had a hull box full in his coat tail pocket as he keeled over on the floor and as he fell they scratched agin one another so strong that they all got afire It warnt but a little while before coat was all in a blaze and before it could be put out had burnt an awful big hole in the seat of his trowsers and scorched him there abouts Zenas yelled and hol lered awful and Bed he didnt want to know more about the principle Now ses Kernel I hope you wont bev as bad luck as Zenas did but depend ont this principles you dont exactly is ous business If you dont get burnt somewhere it will be a see Kernel everything in natur must go to ses Linkin is a good deal in what you say but then the dont believe it They think the nigger was only accidentally black and if he lacks in mind and capacity it is all to slavery and they wont believe any other way until they see for themselves I tell you Major the principle has got to be applied no matter how many coat tails or how many trowsers are ses I Kernel cant they see the thing has worked Jn places That dont settie the question Majer are jist like hogs in that respect Did you ever see a lot of hot swill put in a trough and every single hog in the pen would go and stick in his snout and jet it burned Xot one would learn from the others After weve tried nig ger equality well know what it is and how like it We must apply the principle and in some way you may de pend upon it all the niggers clown south will be sot ses I Kernel I guess that there are other folks who think just as you do fur somebody has sent me some in relation to the next grate eman which is to come off cut from some newspaper I will read them to you THE EMANCIPATION BALL GIVES TO FOUR MILLIONS OP BY THE CHEAT REPUBLICAN PARTY great bull is soon to

the open field and up the Richmond road into the abattis at a double quick and under a most terrific fire deploying one half on either side of the road For more than one hour and a half this small force held every inch of ground At last the enemy broke and ran and pursued them through Caseys old camp During the time was hold ing the Richmond road our line had gradually been giving away about a
