The Future King of England
and our Future President.

MSRest t4aA d tuOuSaHu uOyS WHICH,
eeuld be picked up anywhere in the
United States, naturally suggests the
4ser5, why all this parade and anxiety
TO see lad so youthful that his moth
er in sending him over the water, had
to place him under the guardianship
sfa Duks2 Oh. everybody will tell
yen beeause, he is the future King OF
Great Britain. And pray, what is
there n tie future King of Great Brit
ain that should cause all Canada and
half the United States to run crazy
after hiR, and the giddy women oil
New York to fight each other for the
Aen0r of first dancing with him ? The
@aesn Of England is not a whit better
than she President of the United
States, she latter Office, in our humble
Judgement the highest political honor
the world can confer upon any indi-
yi&aat Now. if the King or Queen
Of Great Britain is not any better than
the President of the United States, or
mere deserving Of honor, why not
place the future President of the Uni
ted States on an equal footing with
the future King of England
And this holds up the mirror in
which those Hho fawn upon royalty
may sse how ridiculous they look-in
ether words, what great asses they
make Of themselves. Suppose for the
Illustration. that somebody would
make che proposition that the future
President of the United States should
be exhibited at an age corresponding
with thas of the Prince of Wales p
Where would we go to find him p
Where would we look for the boy who
% enc day to fill the highest Office in
the -world-the future President of
tAs Uaitsd States !? Would we look
for him in the parlors of the rich and
tAs great -among the decendents of
"good families or those who boast
Of ancestral blood in their veins p
We would not be sure of finding him
there More likely we would be sue
ssssfak among the boys of our common
sshoels, oE among the apprentices of
a0me useful trade, or the now unknown
Sons of poor widows Not unlikely
We nfght find this distinguished per-
soRage--the future President of the
Uaited 6tates-in the person of some
peer boy of whom no notice has yet
been taken beyond the very few whose
Asart-strings cling around him as their
earthly Joy and hope. We would not
Wilfaly. violently shock the delicate
ssnsibilisies of the royal sycophants, by
any Fash, much less pFofane assertion,
Bat We do no violence to probability
when We suggest that this wonderful,
worshipful, Master Lord Renfrew
this Primes of Wales, this future King
OF Great Britain, may have already
passed BY one OF more future Prasi-
dents Of the United States, in the
persons Of poor American boys, upon
whom the Prince and his royal suite
would hardly deign to cast a passing
book. Probably he has seen in the
streets Of Chicago or st. Louis, one
of our future Presidents in the person
Of raggid, friendless orphan boy or
