The native Virginian. [volume] (Orange Court House, Va.) 1867-187?, 1868-05-01


CLAIMS, It unhappily appears, do not
agree with her, and she expressed II
craving for a pound or two of fat Vir-
ginia middlihg-the only symptom of
early and disloyal training which has
escaped her up to this hour, and then
only in moments of weakness, tor which
her former slaye-driving owners, not
herself, may be rightly deemed respon-
siblc. ....,.#, -, -. .f-@... .l..t=...
No sooner was her ancient and now
National person exposed to the public
gaze upon the elevated platform afore-
said, than the stores were closed, the
the church bells began tolling, cannous
were fired at intervals, the steam whis-
ties OF all the engines and factories
were set 20 playing, rockets and bal
looms were sent up, special kilograms
were dispatched throughout the Union
aud across the Atlantic Cable, the Fire
men, the Masons, the Odd Fellows,
Temperance Societies and Sunday
Schools began to assemble; and, in less
than half an hour the entire population
of Duxbury with the exception Of two
Copperlleads, one Johnson man and
several paralytics,) gathered around
the platform. Prayers were said by
several loyal clergymen. loyal speeches
made, and Loyal Colored National
Chant Composed for the occasion by
Miss Anscreen Gizzil, an intimate per-
sonal friend of Mrs. Stinklyl was sung
by 500 Union Sabbath School loyal
children. 1t was entitled, "a Nation
saved by A ged Colored Female Persis-
tence," rhymes mellifluously and is set
to moo toon. Copies for sale at this
office; price .eleycnpence per 1000. This
was about noon.
At one O'Clock. deputations began to
pour in from Bridgewater. Scituate,
Foxboro, Stoughton and other towns,
with banners flying and bands playing.
As they approached our steam whistles
whistled more acutely, for the moment
of the first speech. call it revelation
rather, of ten words from the lips of
African wisdom drew nigh. 1t was a
thrilling period. The cannons ceased
firing. The whistles died away on the
afternoon air. The immense crowd,
numbering about $4,000 fell on their
knees. A death-like silence prevailed,
broken only by the ticking of the large
Puritan silver family watch in the fob
pocket of Hon. Egregious r. Sole, who
sat on an embroidered ottoman by the
side of his honored stove-cleaner, Mrs.
Stinkly. ,..=-.s .......-... .......-
Every eye was turned, every neck
extended, every ear gaped in the di-
rection of the lofty platform, from
which the Sybilline utterance of Mrs.
Stinkly was expected. Hon. Sole drew
out his watch. The silent, intense
anxiety of the multitude was simply
terrible. "rime's up. Mrs. Stinkly,"
gasped the Hon. Sole, in tones of awe.
At this instant, a piercing stream was
heard. The assembly shook alright. =
1t proved to be the whistle of the To-
connective of a special train, employed
by Messrs. TIcknor and Fields of Bos-
ton to convey their stenographer to the
scene. 20, catch the inspiration from
Mrs. SIS lips and publish them IN book
form at the earliest moment. He
rushed, pencil and paper in hand, hat
on the sacred platform and kneIt re-
verentially at Mrs. Stinkly's side. All
was again stiil as the grave.
It was an awful scene, never to be
forgotten this side the tomb.
Then Mrs. Uniona Stinly rolled over
from her stomach onto her back, rhre W
her hands and stocking feet high in the
balmy afternoon air and exclaimed,
these are her exact wOrrls.)

Then followed n spectacle which hut
man language is powerless to describe.
No one understood word of what she
had said. but Prof. Skunksir of Har-
vartl, happening to be present t,announc-
ed that the unknown dialect was the
original ConSocse and translated it in.
to English for the benefit of the crowd.

rebel traitor, mast be convicted and hung :"
Acclamatious. cries. shrieks, and sobs
rent the air. The cannon, the bells,
the engines roared, rang and hoOted to
heaven. Old men wept, women wept
| and tore their hair and underclothing,
and in the excitement men and women,
black and white, hugged and kissed
and cried ever each other in frenzy
of delight. Never, never, in all our
editorial experience of six weeks have
we witnessed such spectacle. We
went to the Clamshcll Office and illu-
minated it at two O'Clock in the even
ing. All the town followed our exam
pie. l5 Another delegation from Taun-
ton, 1000 strong, banners flying and
bands playing, came in. Another
Sybilline utterance from Mrs. Stinkly,
Ten Thousand copies of the first, printed
ON our Gordon Job Press, brought
close to the platform, have been sold at
cents each. Special trains. crowded
down. are arriving from all parts OF
New England. Sixteen came in be-
tween and 3 O'Clock. AS we write,
the crowd numbering some 40 odd thou
sand. are it awaitlngthe third incompre-
hensible utterance of Mrs. Stinkly. 1t
is too much for us. We can no more.
Later. Up. M. Crowd increased to
$4,000. All weeping and praying a.
round the 40 foot' high platform. Mrs.
Uniona Stinkly has eaten two more
pecks of dough-nuts and uttered sever
al more unknown utterances, Prof.
Skunkslr is wholly at fault. He can
not translate them. The crowd is ang-
ry with him. He is conveyed to a safe
place, and ten more gallons of pop are
ordered for the patient. Gas pipes have
been run up the platform. and the aged
loyal form of Mrs. Stinkly is plainly
visible on her Catafalque. An Ameri-
can eagle of the finest size has Just de-
scended from the skies and lit ON her
mead, and his talons are entangled in
her back hair. She has lost her water
fall, and It has been carried away as a
priceless relic. The owner refused 20
cents in silver for it. She lies on her
venerable face, unmindful of the Ea-
gle, which is struggling to get free
From time to time, she lifts her heels on
high, in an agony of inspiration. She
foams, ever and anon, at her aged
mouth. 1t is sacred slobber. The
crowd weeps afresh and the precious
