on interview between Prince Tihn Vim Bti.
rem, on his recent visit 10 this city, and Col.
Beverly Tucker, the Sentinel Of the Uards
The scene was az ihe'Nal6nal Hotcl, where
the Prince stopped, and where o,he gallant
Colonel met him, and .hus accosted him:
T-Why John, how are youl What
the devil brought you here! Have the
llards driven you out Of Gotham. or has
Guthrie called you down here 10 give an ac.
count of yourself H'5t 81 .9...
P. J.-God bless you, BAv., how do you
do? AS for the election, I know nothing
abop, ii; Guthrie IS all rightl 60 for the
resolutions Of '99; hold lho, the blood Of
The martyrs is the seed ofthe Church, and
my business here sto buy Niger!
T.-Buy niger! Good gracious,
Prince, how you surprise me!
p. J.-Yes, buy nigger! | consider a
niggrr ihs,grca' panacea, the ornament Of
The Christian, the emblem of faith and f1ci-
ily in the politician. and altogether something
very Important TO mankrd generally, just
see how Bronson has been puf.d up to n
star Of of the first magnitude by gaIyanzing
a short lecture TO Guthrie upon niggers-
they have nearly made il great man out oI
Dickinson, more than hall humaniz2d Char
ley O'Connof, and even raised poor Co, Icy
TO The precincts Of nolorieiy. Since mira.
ces have ceased. no such wonders have
been performed by the nggers. N,lhing in
Edmonds about Spirit rappinss begin 10 come
up 10 il. | leil you, Bev, mus, have q
nigger-my fame requires it, and my per
soaaI wants demand it!
T.-Nonsense, John; Du. do you really
want ngserl because if you do, you
must have one. a.
P. WHY certainly | do. Every bpdy
seems to doubt everything say about niggers
| tell you Bev, | have changed my mind up
on that subject, ond, though did no. .hinl
so once. now regard the 'Wilmo,' with tn,
same abborrence do tho Maine Law. IT,,
sumpsuary, merely check upon pleasure
Upon personal comfori--upon all The ar
and all the sciences--upon greaneSs--upoi
chivalry--and, finally, check upon mig
gers, and, ,her eloro, wrong. ANY man Tia
can't see this hasn't go' a niger in his eye
and any man that hasn't 60, niger in hi
eye inthese days, is no man al ALL
}T.--Why. John you talk like Saint
give us your views in the Sentinel, md Iher
you will be considered orthodox. They arc
as sound as a nut, thought you woul come
right al last.
p J,--Sound! Why am rs sound or
niggers as the stump candidate for seIeclmar
was on the goose question. The only lrou
bic is 10 make the world believe it, wan
TO crush OUT Ihe unbc,ief, and The Sentiael
isn't strong enough for that. mus, have 1
nigger--a real hard nigg r--ln ordained
