rn Congressmen in his house,
while the higher grade uv nobility wuzn't content with anythin less than
Guvners. The indebtednis uv the South to the North hed bin adjustid. A
decree hed bin ishood to the effect that Northern merchants who shood
press a claim agin a Southerner shood be beheaded and his goods
confistikated. The question uv slavery hed bin settled forever, for the
Dimekratic ijee uv one class to serve and one class to be served wuz
fully establisht. There wuz now three classes uv society, the hereditary
nobility, the untitled officials, and the people; the latter, black and
white, wuz all serfs, and all attached to the soil. Biznis wuz all done
by foreigners, the policy uv the government bein to make the native born
people purely agricultural peasantry. The nobility, desirin to make it
easy for em, giv em one sixth uv the produx uv the soil, reservin the
balance for their own uses.

My dreem didn't continyoo long enuff for me to ascertain whether I wuz a
nobleman or not, but I am uv the opinion that I wuz, for a servant,
handin me a pin to stick into Gen. Butler to make him roar for the
amoozement of the company, addressed me ez "Yoor Grace," from wich I
inferred that I wuz one uv of the Lords spiritooal. Unfortunitly at this
pint I awoke, and a sad awakenin it wuz. The gorjus halls hed vanished,
the chandeleers hed vanished, the robes uv stait and jewels and sich wuz
gone, and I wuz in my offis, not "Yoor Grace," but merely a Postmaster
in a Kentucky village! Well, that is suthin. Wat better is a nobleman?
He don't work, neither do I. He drinks wine, it is troo; but I hev wat
soots me better--whiskey fresh from the still. Yet my dreem may be
realized, and ef it is, I will endevoor to fill the position with
credit. Who knows?
