Harper's Magazine for July contains
Mrs. Oliphants charming account of the
earlier chapters in the life of England's
Queen. It makes little difference how
many times we have read it, the story Of
victoria's beautiful life is rare one for
Q princess and queen. The devotion Of
the widowed Duchess of Kent and of her
faithful brother, Prince Leopold, to the
interests Of the baby princess BY remain
ing in England SO far from the young
widows home and people, and giving
the little one thoroughly English edu-
cation and training shows their judg-
ment and self denial as well as their am
bition for the little one. When King
Geo. IVth died and bill was introduced
into Parliament to make the Duchess Of
Kent Regent in case Victoria should be
called to the throne before becoming of
age. it was thought necessary to inform
the Pri1cess of her future prospects.
The story is told by the Queens govern
ess in letter to her recalling the event:
81 then said to the Duchess of Kent that
now, for the first time, your Majesty
ought to know your place in the success
zion. Her Royal Highness agreed with
me, and put the genealogical table into
the historical book. When Mr.. Davys
(the Queens instructor, after the Bishop
of Peterborough was gone. the Princess
Victoria opened the book again as usual
and. seeing the additional paper, said:
I never saw that before 1t was not
thought necessary you should. Princess,
I answered. Il see lam nearer the throne
than thought $50 it is, madam,
said. After some moments the Princess
resumed: 'Now many child would
boast, but they don't know the difficulty.
There is much splendor, but there is
much responsibility The Princess, hav-
ing lifted up the foreAnger of her right
hand while she spoke, gave me that little
hand, saying 4 will be good. l under
stand now why you urged me SO much to
learn even Latin. Ny cousins Augusta
and Mary never did, but you told me
Latin is the foundation Of English gram
mar, and Of all the elegant expressions,
and learned 1t as you wished it, but
understand all better now;' and the little
Princess gave me her hand, repeating.
Il viii be good" After making known
to Prince Albert that she was willing to
marry him, she writes in her journal
''How I will strive to make him feel as
little as possible the great sacrifice he
has made!" noting down the events ol
that wonderful day. II told him is wa.
Q great sacrifice on his part, but hs
would not allow it."

Rock CREEK, June II, 1880.
EDITOR ENTKKPRIsE:-Heving tarried
for Q season last Autumn in your beau
tiful village. thought perchance some
Of the people there would like to know
how We are prospering out here in Kan
sas. We live in what Is called the Blue
Mound vicinity, and beautiful place 1t
is, too. We have eight Of these mounds
in sight, and as one rises just beyond
the others and all covered with tall
prairie grass, it reminds us OF velvet, 90
smooth is their appearance. On the
highest one of these huge hills is stone
monument eight feet high built there by
the Indians and the supposition is that
some bold brave or fallen chief is buried
there. Around each peak is hard trod-
den foot. path and each one runs down
to the creek below. Hstchets and old
relics have been unearthed here with the
plow; and they all remind one that not
long ago this was the Red mans home.
From the top Of these mounds can be
seen the capital, Topeka, only Is miles
to the south, and 2 miles to the north Is
Valley Falls, nearly as large as your viii
lage. nestled ii among the hills. 1t is
only one mile from the station Of Rock
Creek. The prairie here is in all its
glory now. There are flowers Of every
hue aud shade; all grow wild. Fox
glove, verbepas, larkspur. sweet briar,
sweet pea, and even the flowers Of the
red-root are pretty; it has blossoms like
the sweet pea only they are q bright

present; some of the corn is tasseled out.
We have new potstoes, peas and turnips;
had peas the goth Of May. The reapers
strarted for the harvest field to day.
Wheat looks better than was expected;
this year has been the hardest on wheat
ever known in the state. There Is large
acreage In this vicinity; large herds Of
cattle are herded here; some contain 800
head.
Land is cheap now-only Sc or 81 per
acre. Taking it as o whole. we are in
clined to think that Kansas is the place
for farmers, and poor people especially.
Equality is the ruling spirit here. Man
il not valued by the amount Of his mon.

past and she will soon take her place as
one Of the best farming states in the
Union. People here are radiant over
the nomination of Garfield.
