THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, XOVE3IBER 2, 1007. TURNS LIGHT ON HER CHILDHOOD Queen Victoria's Correspond ence Tells of Very Strict Early Training. UNDER EYE OF GOVERNESS glected Vntil She llccame Heir i Apparent Her Own Story of Love and Marriage to r Trince Albert. i LONDON, Oct. 2!. The published let I ters of the late Queen Victoria give an Intimate picture of her forlorn childhood, ' when she was simply regarded aa an in significant little Princess with no pros pect of ever reaching the throne. The Queen wrote her reminiscences of this period, in 372, the manuscript being pre served at Windsor Castle. She wrote: "My earliest recollections are connected with Kensington Palace, where I can re member crawling on a yellow carpet apread out for that purpose and being told that If I cried and was naughty my 'Uncle Sussex' would hear me and punish me, lor which reason I always screamed when I saw him! 1 had a great horror of bishops on account of their wigs and aprons, but recollect this being partially got over In the case-of the then Bishop of. Salisbury (Dr. Klsher, greatuncle to Mr. Fisher, private .secretary to the Prince of Wales), by his kneeling down and letting me play with his badge of chancellor of the Order of the Garter. With another bishop, however, the per suasion of showing him my 'pretty shoes' was of no use. Clareniont remains as the brightest epoch of my otherwise melan choly childhood. "I was brought up simply never had a room to mysflt till I was nearly grown up always slept in my mother's room till I came to the throne. At Claremont. and lit the. small houses at the .bathing places, 1 sat and took my lessons In my governess' bedroom. I was not fond of learning as a little child and baffled every attempt to each me my letters up to 6 years old when I consented to learn them by their being w.-i'ten down before me. . Visit From Uncle, (ieorgc XV. -'In the year '26 (I think) George IV Rsktvl my mother, my sister and me clown to Windsor for the first time; ha had been on bad terms with my poor father when he died. .and took hardly any notice of the poor widow and llttlo fath erless girl, who were so poor at the time his (the Duke of Kent's) death that they ! could not have traveled back to Kensing j ton Palace had it not been for the kind ; assistance- of my dear uncle. Prince Leo- pold. We went to Cumberland Lodge, the King living at the Royal Lodge. Aunt Gloucester was there at the same (time. When we arrived at the Royal Lodge the King took me by tho hand, saying: 'Give me your little paw.' . He was large and gouty, but with a wonder ;f ul .dignity and charm of . manner. He wore the wig which was so much worn In those days. Then he said he would give me something for mo to wear, and that was his picture set in diamonds, which was worn by the Frlncess as an order to a blue r.bbon on the left shoul der; I was proud of this, and Lady C'nnyngham pinned It on my shoulder. "1 also remember going to see Aunt Augusta at Krogmore, where she lived always in the Summer. "We lived In a slmple plain manner; breakfast was at half-past 8, luncheon at hnlf-past 1. dinner at 7 to which I came generally (when it was no regular large dinner party) eating" my bread and milk out of a small silver basin. Tea was al-loiied- only as a great treat in later years.- ... Xurse and (Inverness Strict. "Up to my fifth year I had been much indulged by- every one, and set pretty wen all at defiance. Old Baroness de Spath, the devoted woman of my mother; mv nurse, Mis. Brock, dear old Mrs. Livi'ln all worshiped the poor, little fath er's child whose future then was stili lmCYTtain; my uncle, the Duke of Clar ence's poor little child, being alive, and" the Duchess of Clarence had one or two others later. At 5 years old, Miss Lehzen was placed about me, and though she was most kind, she was firm, and I had a proper respect for her. I was natur ally passionate, but always most contrite nftrwards. I wns taught from the first to . ' beg my maid's pardon for any naughtiness or rudeness towards her; a feeling I have ever retained, and think every one should own their fault in a kind way to any one, be he or she the lowest if nnc has been rude to or injured them by word or deed, especially thosa below-you. People will readily forget an insult or an Injury when others own their fault, and express sorrow or regret at what they have done.": Her Training for Uie Throne. 'in June, 1S.T0, George IV died and Wil liam IV succeeded to the throne. He had no legitimate offspring and it was there fore practically certain that If the Prin cess Victoria outlived her uncle she would su.'oeed him on the throne. The Duchess of Kent at once began the education of a yuren. The King died in and the Princess Victoria succeeded him, and by her accession to the throne "reinstated the English monarchy in the affections of the people." The young Princess was high spirited and willful, but "devotedly affectionate, and almost typically feminine." She also had "strong monarchical views and dy-n-uitic sympathies, but 'she had no aris tocratic preferences, at the same time slie had no democratic, principles, but be-I'-'vt-d firmly in the due subordination of finises-" One of the creates blessings of Queen Victorians girlhood was that she was bro'jv-hr closely under the Influence of "an enlightened and large-minded prince," Iwopold, her maternal uncle. Another per son who had a large share in forming the ! Queen's character was Louise, afterward tiaroness Lehzen, the daughter of a Hah ovariatr clergyman, who first came to Kngland as governess of her half-sister Princess Feudore. Baron Slockmar was another valuable friend, though the Eng lish public objected to his Influence be cause he was a German. The most interesting letters In these volumes are. those that passed between the Queen and King Leopold. Her Maj esty kept up an unbroken correspondence wi!h him a:id wrote as fully as she would to- her own father. Vnt'le Proposed Husband. One great bond between Queen Victoria and iter uncle. Leopold, was that he was the first t' suggest Prince Albert as her ronsort, when she was still a Princess. To ouote from her first- letter on this subject, written after a "look at" meet ing: "I must thank you, my beloved un cle; for the prospect of great happi ness you have contributed to give ine. in the person of dear Albert, Allow me, then, my dearest uncle, to tell 1 you how delighted I am with him, and how much I like him in every way. He possesses every quality that could be desired to render me perfectly hap py. He Is so sensible, so kind, and so good, and so amiable, too. He has, be sides, the most pleasing and delight ful exterior and appearance you can possibly see." This was in 1836. Again in 1839 she is now Queen she wrote King Leo pold: Likes Albert, but Has Fears. "I shall send this letter by a courier, as I am anxious to put several Ques tions to you, and to mention some feelings of mine upon the subject of my cousin's visit, which I am desirous should not transpire. First of all, I wish to know If Albert is aware of the wish of his father and you relative to me. Secondly, if he knows that there is no engagement between us. I am anxious that you should acQualnt Un cle Ernest that if I should like Albert I can make no final promise this year, for, at the very earliest, any such event could not take place till two or three years hence. For, Independent of my youth, and my great repugnance to change my present position, there is no anxiety evinced in this country for Buch an event, and it would be more prudent, in my opinion, to wait till some such demonstration Is shown else If it were hurried It might pro duce discontent. "Though all the reports of Albert are most favorable, and though I have little doubt I shall like him, still one can never answer beforehand for feel ings, and I may not have the feeling for him which is requisite to Insure happiness. I may like him as a friend, and as a cousin, and as a brother, but not more; and should this be the case (which is not likely) I am very anxious that it should be understood that I am not guilty of any breach of prom ise, for I never gave any. I am sure you will understand my anxiety, for I should otherwise, were this not com pletely understood, be in a very pain ful position. As it is, I am rather neivous about the visit, for the subject I allude to is not an agreeable one to me. I have little else to say, dear uncle, as I have now spoken openly to you, which I was very, very anx ious to do." Resolves to Marry Albert. You see by this that the Queen was more cautious than the Princess but three months later the Queen, discov ered that the Princess was right. She made the discovery at Windsor Castle, and she lost no time In acquainting Prince Albert of her Intentions regard ing htm. and, having done this, she sat down and wrote her Uncle Leo pold: " "This letter will. I am sure, give you pleasure, for you have always shown and taken so warm an interest in all that concerns me. My mind is quite made up and I told Albert this morn ing of it; the warm affection he showed me on learning this gave me great pleasure. He seems perfection, and I think that 1 have the prospect of very great happiness before me. I love him more than I can say. and I shall do everything in my power to render the sacrifice he has made (for a sacrifice, in my opinion, It is) as small as I can. He seoms to have a very great tact a very necessary thing In his position. These last few days have passed like a dream to me. and I am so much be wildered by it all that I know hardly how to write; but I do feel very, very happy." Now that her mind was made up, there was -no talk, as before, of two or three years' waiting. This letter was written in October: i "We also think It better, and Albert quite- approves of It, that we should be married very soon after Parliament meets, about the beginning of Febru ary; and. Indeed, loving Albert as I do, I cannot wish it should be delayed. My feelings are a little changed, I must say, since last Spring, when I said I couldn't think of marrying for three or four years; but seeing Albert has changed all this." All of which shows that Queens are much 'ike other women when it comes to affairs of the heart. When King Wll'iam IV died and the new Queen wrote a letter of condolence to his wife, her a;nt. the Dowager Queen Adelaide, to which the Litter replied, sub scribing herself as "always your majes ty's most affectionate friend, aunt and subject." Such is the whiriliglg of time! The next great event was the corona tion, a full description of which the Queen gives in her Journal. Amid all this excitement, pomp and ceremony the Queen had eyes for her governess. She writes in her Journal: "There was another most dear being present at this ceremony, In the box im mediately above the royal box, and who witnessed all; it was my dearly beloved angelic Lehzen, whose eyes I caught when on the throne, and we exchanged smiles." . Took Dislike to Peel. I am surprised to find this curious bit of bad writing in an official letter from the Queen to Lord Melbourne, In regard to Sir Robert Peel: "The Queen don't like his manner after O! how different, how dreadfully dif ferent, to that frank, open, natural and most kind, warm manner of Lord Mel bourne. The duke I like by far better to Peel." When the latter was at the head of the government he wanted the Queen to change her ladies in waiting, but she stood firm, declaring that "her ladles are entirely her own affair and not the min ister's." On this subject she wrote to her uncle: "You will easily imagine that I firmly resisted this attack upon my power, from these people who pride themselves" upon upholding the prerogative! I acted quite alone, but I have been, and shall be. sup ported by my country, who are very en thusiastic about it, and loudly cheered me on going to church on Sunday. My government have nobly stood by me, and have resumed their posts, strengthened by the feelings of the country." Announces Her engagement. This was before she had Prince Albert's advice to lean -upon. Shortly after this she made the declaration of her matri monial intentions to the council, and this is what she wrote to Prince Albert in regard to her sensations: "It was rather an awful moment to be obliged to announce this to so many people, many of whom were quite strangers, but they told me I did it very well, and I felt so happy to do it. Good Lord Melbourne was deeply moved about it, and Uxbridge likewise; It lasted only two or three minutes. Everybody, they tell me, is very much pleased, and I wish you could have Been the crowds of people who cheered me loudly as I left the palace for Windsor. I am so happy today. O. if only you could be here. . . . "Send me as aoon as possible the re port of the announcement at Coburg. I wear your dear picture mornings and evenings, and wore It also at the meet ing of the conseil." Lays Down Law to Albert. Notwithstanding her great love for Albert there were some things that she as Queen could not permit. One was the choosing of his own sue. This was done for him, and she wrote, tbey were not yet married: "As to your wish about your gentlemen, my dear Albert. I must tell you quite honestly that it will not do." In another letter she writes: "I am distressed to tell you what I fear you' do not like, but it is necessary my dearest, most excellent Albert. Once more I tell you that you can perfectly rely on me in these matters. . . . Evidently Albert did not like being left out In the choice of his gentlemen, for In another letter Bhe writes: "Now, my dearest, to be about what is not so pleasant or amusing. I mean, now for business. I am much grieved that you feel disappointed about my wish respecting your gentlemen, but very glad that you consent to it, and that you feel confidence in my choice." Even Uncle Leopold could not always have his way. To Albert she writes:, "I have received today an ungracious letter from Uncle Leopold. He appears to me to be nettled because I no longer asked for his advice, but dear uncle is given to believe that he must rule the roost everywhere. However, that is not a necessity." Wonders What Boy Will' Be Like. The Queen's annoyance with her un cle did not last long. She was soon again on the old affectionate terms with him, asking his advice and taking it as a dutiful niece should in the cir cumstances. Here is part of one of Her Majesty's family letters to her uncle: "I wonder very much who our little boy King Edward VII. w-ill be like. You will understand how fervent my prayers and I am sure everybody's must be, to see' him resemble his an gelic dearest father In every, every re spect, both In body and mind. O! my dearest uncle, I am sure If you knew how happy, how blessed I feel, and how proud I feel In possessing such a perfect being as my husband, as he is, and. if you think that you have been instrumental In bringing about this un ion, it must gladden your heart! How happy should I be to see our child grow up just like him! Dear Pussy the Empress Frederic, mother of the pres ent Emperor of Germany, traveled with us and behaved like a grown up per son, so quiet and looking about and coquetting with the hussars on either side of the carriage." Worried by Cares of State. It is a pity to see a woman who so loved peace and her family disturbed by cares of state. Her ministers were not always to her mind, and, as for Palmer ston, he was downright rude. Wars dis turbed her, and even the victories of her armies did not make her happy, be cause of the price paid for them. She thought not so much of the proud sur vivors as of the widows and orphans of those who were killed. And yet she never shirked her duty, whether it was for war or peace. Many times she was obliged to curb her inclinations for rea sons of state, as when Louis Philippe and his Queen were obliged to flee from the mob and find refuge in England. She could not receive tiiem as she liked any more than she could have allowed Pal merston to receive Kossuth as he would have liked. Many years later, after the coup de' etat, Queen Victoria visited France as the guest of the Emperor Louis Napoleon and his beautiful Empress, and visited the tomb of Napoleon in their company. Of this Incident she wrote to Baron Stockmar: Won" by Louis Napoleon. "It was touching and pleasing In the extreme to see the alliance sealed so completely, and without lowering either country's pride, and to see old enmities and rivalries wiped out over the tomb of Napoleon I, before whose coffin I stood (by torchlight) at the arm of Napoleon III, now my nearest and dearest ally! We have come back with feelings of real affection for and Interest In France and indeed how could it be otherwise, when one saw how much was done to please and delight us? The army, too (such a fine one!), I feel a real affection for as the companions of my beloved troops! "For the Emperor personally I have conceived a real affection and friendship, and so I may truly say of the prince. You know what I felt the moment I saw him and became acquainted .with him. wha I wrote down about him, etc. Well, we have now seen him for full ten days, from 12 to 14 hours every day often alone; and I cannot say how pleasant and easy It Is to live with hm, or how attached one becomes to him. I know no one who puts me more at my ease, or to whom I felt more inclined to talk unreservedly, or in whom involuntarily I should be more inclined to confide, than the Emperor!" Has No Liking for Politics. Her greatest loss was still to cornel With all Queen Victoria's fondness for Louis Napoleon, she writes to her Uncle Leopold: i "With such an extraordinary man one can never be for one instant safe. It makes me very melancholy; I love peace and quiet in fact, I hate politics and tur moil, and I grieve to think that a spark may plunge us Into the midst of war. Still I think that may be avoided. Any attempt on Belgium would be casus beUt for us; that you may rely upon. Invasion I am not afraid of,-but the spirit of the people here la very great they are full of defending themselves and the spirit -of the olden times is in no way quenched." In this same letter she shows how tired of it ajl she is, and yet she had many more decades to reign: "Albert grows daily fonder and fonder of politics and (business, and is so wonder fully fit for both and I grow dally to dis like them both more and more. We women are not made for governing and if we are good women we must dislike these mas culine occupations; but there are times which force one to take interest in thera nral gre bon gre, and I do, of course, in tensely." I commend the last paragraph to suf fragists here and In England. Alas, Albert was not much longer to be her prop and stay. In 1861 he died, and no woman, high or low, rich or poor, could have felt her loss more deeply. The only comfort left the bereaved Queen now was to carry out her husband's wishes, to do what she believed he would have her do, and nothing could swerve her from this purpose. To Lord Charming, whom she wrote on the death of his wife, she said: "The Queen s precious husband, though wandering occasionally, was conscious tilt nearly the last, and knew her and kissed her an hour before his pure spirit fled to Its worthy and fit eternal home.". Here the letters end, and so far as hap piness goes, the Queen's life ended also. I am only outwardly separated from him, and only for a time," more than half her reign. EXPEL AMERICAN STUDENT Escapades Too Much for Staid Old Heidelberg. BERLIN. Oct. 26. (Special.) A young American student at Heidelberg, named Steffens, who is reputed to be the son of millionaire parents in De troit, Mich., has Just -been expelled from the university town and Grand Duchy of Baden for causing disturb ances In the public streets. Young Steffen's prank consisted In engaging a number of vagrants to eat garbage and relish It for the edifica tion of himself and some of his col lege chums. The wretches who lent themselves for the occasion received $10 apiece for their services. The New York Times correspondent at Heidelberg reports that Steffens, whose escapades have outraged the populace, committed the same misde meanor at Manheim a few weeks ago. He Is 22 years old. and had been study ing chemistry at Heidelberg for two years. He was Intending soon to take his degree. Previous to his expulsion, Steffens was imprisoned for five days In Heidel berg Town Jail. . Shut Chinese From Islands. MANILA, Nov. I.
