really distressing about the attair, as you
will admit when I narrate the facts.
The match from first to last, has been
distasteful to the nation, and now that t, r j d ,, c which separated us from the
the Queen has persisted in sacrificing lier
if she could read the hearts of her
child, —
people she would find therein recorded
an universal sentence of condemnation.
It was supposed, some little time since,
that the marriage would not take place,
hut the Queen was obstinate and persis
ted in her determination.
The real truth is, that, aside from other
objections to the bridegroom, he actually
has a wife and four children living in
Germany. It is true that the marriage
was called an morganatic one, hut it was
solemnized nevertheless, under the author
ity of the Church, Whether the Prin
cess Helena was aware of this fact or not
is doubtful, hut the Queen was, and reck
lessly trampled all considerations of mor
ality and justice, to say nothing of religi
on under loot. It is well known that
she was.remonstrated with on the sub
ject, hut to no effect. She had set her
mind upon the marriage, and defended
her future son in-law with the utmost
spirit.
The cause of her infatuation lias just
beeu revealed. \\ lien the statue ot the
late Prince Consort was inaugurated in
Germany last year, the Queen's attention
was attracted by one ot the spectators
who seemed to be overwhelmed with emo
tion, and throughout the ceremony his
handkerchief was constantly employed in
wiping from his face what were apparent
ly tears. (Some who were present say,
fur tears read perspiration.) This kind ot
conduct was just the thing to touch the
Queen’s sensibilities. She inquired at
once who the individual was, and learned
that it was Prince Christian Schleswig-
Holstein. She sent lor him, took a fancy
to him, and finally threw her daughter
into his arms, since which her infatuation
has beeu complete. There is scarcely
any one who does not believe that this
petty German Prince, poor even to pover
ty. liis real income about a thousand dol
lars a year, an adventurer, a notorious
gambler and sporting man, a man with
all the low vices of the German character
aud none of its virtues, and simply playing
a part which he had studied beforehand.
Conscious of the Queen’s weakness, he
purposely placed himself in her way, and
by his crocodile tears on the occasion
mentioned, secured an interest in her
which lie has managed to increase and
retain until he lias finally accomplished
his purpose. I am sorry to say there is
no room to doubt the correctness of these
statements
It was the place of the Prince of Wales
to give away his sister at the altar, lie
plumply refusei to do so, although he
was present at the ceremony to avoid fu
ture scandal. Failing him; that duty de
volved upon his young brother, the Duke
of Cambridge, lie not only declined,
but was not piesent at the wedding at ali.
The bridegroom’s father, brotner and sis
ter though especially invited by the
Queen, all refused to come to England,
aud by their presence sanction the outrage
then committed. Although it is a sad
affair and while much sympathy is felt
for the young bride, the auguries for her
future are of the darkest charafter, and
the Queen, her mother, has sunk to a
very low degree in the estimation of her
subjects. The newly wedded pair have
