and her heart full of genuine kindness
and ben evidence. Once little girl
her uncle, James Buchanan, In the vii
lage Of Lancaster, surprised her In
back alley pushing a wheelbarrow load
of wood and coal which she had cap
tured from his wood shed and hoped TO
smuggle TO a poor family near by who
were suffering from cold.
The prince was charmed with the
sunny hospitality of Miss Lane and the
president and so impressed by it that
he was very enthusiastic in describing
his visit TO his mother. She also appre-
ciated it fully and sat right down to
write the following letter 70 President
Buchanan:
WINDSOR CASTLE, Nov. 10, 1860.
my GOOD FRIEND-Your letter OF
the 9th inst. has afforded me the great
est pleasure, containing as 1t does such
kind expressions with regard to my son,
and assuring me that the character and
object OF his visit to you and the United
States had been appreciated.
HE cannot sufficiently praise the
great cordiality with which he has been
9 reeted everywhere in your country and
the friendly manner with which you
have received him. And while, as
mother | am most grateful for the
kindness shown him, feel impelled at
the same time TO express how deeply
have been touched by the many demon
STATIONS of affection personally toward
myself which his presence has called
forth.
II fully reciprocate toward your ma
tion the feelings thus made uppermost
and look upon them as forming an i'm
portant link 10 connect two nations OF
kindred origin and character, whose
mutual esteem and friendship must al
ways have so material an influence upon
their respective development and pros
perity."
This letter is so genuine and so
hearty in its general tore that one is
naturally impelled TO forgive the gram
NAUTICAL construction of the opening SEN
tence. OF course we in the raw, crude
and nebulous condition Of a new nation,
just Sprouted into the great universal
garden Of nations, tiny bud that had
barely broken ground. as it were, at the
feet of the gigantic forest Of seqnoia
principalties, timid little jonQull In
the shadow of patriaTchisl empires,
naturally look toward the greatest OF
English speaking or civilized Kingdoms,
the parent Of our own prattling repub-
lie. for the purest OF English, for
whittier should we turn unless TO the
sovereign Of that proud nation which
gave the English language birth?

Only we would like TO have our Eng
llsh brethren OF the pen and press treat
us in a lenient and gentle manner when
ever reproof may be hereafter necessa-
~. We know that our early advant-
ages have been few, and most Of US
have been self made men, unless we
happen to be women. and early associa-
tiops are bound 70 have their effect upon
us in later years, so that when undnly
excited we often return 10 the crude
Impressions which permeated the at
mosphere OF our childhood, and so we
feel cheered and gladdened at heart
when a monarch who has succeeded for
over q half century in harmoniIing be-
llgerent nations fails TO harmonic her
verbs and uominatives.
The Senate chamber is TO me this
winter q most restful and reposeiul
spot. I know Of no place where'on
may 60 aud secure better results If
suffering from brain fag, resulting from
mental strain.
l love to see Senator Quay pull his
Dick Turpin popgun on the Senate and
shut up his adversary like retcient
clam. He has in his desk the manu-
script of a four day speech, with q
broad elastic band around Il, and when
disagreeable motion IS made by a
senator on the other side of the aisle
he asks TO De heard on that question,
and having secured the floor be pulls
this magazine gun. Need l add that
the motion is generally withdrawn by
his frightened adversary.
BY getting on the good side OF page
the other day-that is. by giving the
page a sligfA margin was enabled TO
glance over this Quaker gun speech and
discovered that it is only Al address on
horticulture ana perfectly harmless. /
am sorry to reveal this game Of the
Senator's, bat by the time this is print
ed no doubt u can do him ne harm.
Senator Quay is ia some respects the
Senatorial endmsn OF this Congressional
olio. He is the gravest looking man on
the floor, and stranger expects to hear
