ASA HAITI TO THE QUEEN DOW
AGER.

lAGhsEls
Highuaiian Hiqines&-I have read. with
feelings of pleasure at least five stories high,
an account in the Herald that you have ar
rived in New York. That you are stopping
at the Breevort House. That Miss AGNES
SPURGIE is with you, That you wear black
silk. That your party is composed Of Eu-
ropeans and Canadians.
| have a weakness, my august Polynesian,
for black silk, because know a sweet young
female patriot Of America who wears that
occasionally.
With a white spencer onto IT,
The death of your august husband ALEX
AEDRIA KAMEHABIEHA ~, was a new thing
to me. Il occurred in November, 1868,
while | was at Johnson's Island, playing
cribbage with Col. NIKE WOoDs, of the 10th
Alabama, and owing 10 The fact that letters
of the kind your people woald be likely TO
write never came in there, did not hear Of
the sad event. ! am terribly sorry poor
ALECK has handed in his checks. / knew
him we'll. We used 10 60 TO school together
in Chesterfield district s. &. He was
good boy; but then you know, august EN-
that his mama died when he was very young,
and that he was raised on the bottle. Be
not disc0nsolate your highness, but remem-

.Fiesh Is grass, and grass is hay;
We are here tomorrow and gone to-day"
The Herald man says you don't wear Jew
elry. Pm glad of it, darling EN-, for it
shows you haynt yet made the acquaintance
Of the BUTLER, at Lowell. Should you be
so unfortunate as 10 do so, j trust your royal
highness will keep your royal highness's
left eye on your royal highness's pocket
book. j. has a queer way Of looking at a
thing when you think he isn't looking that
way.
History says that the late ALEXANDER
KAAIEfIAAfEHA was succeeded by his broth
er, LoT KAAfEHAWEHA V. / didn't know
LoT. he was too young for me. / hope
LOT is well, and that his progeny may be
lots.
That he may continue to rain.
The Herold man says YOU have black hair
and lustrOus black eyes. You have no idea,
my dear EN-, how / love black hair and
lustrous eyes. / know young female pa
triot Of America who is similarly afflicted,
and is amazing sweet. And she, like you,
speaks English fuently. In fact she was
born 50, and can't speak any other. You
have the advantage Of her there, my impe-
rial Polynesian; but she is happy in Der ig-
norance.
There is a rumor, my dark-skinned dowa-
ger, that you are going TO Boston before you
20 home TO the society Of Lot 5. Let me
beg Of you not TO do il. There is a preiu-
dice there regarding color which nothing
short Of curly hair can subdue, and
wouldn't have your imperial head tampered
with. Avoid Boston-avoid SUMNER. I'm
like RoBAcK's Bitters, he won't do you
good.
II you can spare the time, come down TO
New Orleans. Lot Five won't care. We
can entertain you MORSE will fix you up
in style at the City Hall.
Wen show you the Bureau, my dark
eyed dowager and the Mechanic Institute.
And the Governor will give you the fire.
dom Of the State, and my uncle JoHNTEE
will give you the freedom Of the city-in the
room just back OF that now occupied by the
military.
And you can see Lafayette Square.
And heap Of things.
If yon can come, send us a telegram 10
that effect. IL you can't, my queen, why,
il is not because you are otinvited. Shout
you go home soon, remember me in pleasing
terms 10 Lot X. No 8, and tell him ] an
happy. Kiss Miss AGNES and Major Hop
KIHs and the two servants for me, and be-
lieve me, your majesty,
Yours in the cool,
