Marriage of Queen Victoria,

From the book published by Queen Victoria,
we learn that it was on the 18th of October
1889 that she profered her heart and hand to
Prince Albert; on the 10th of January 1910 she
opened Parliament in person, and announced
her purpose to marry Prince Albert, and on
the 10th of February the marriage took place.
On the 18th of October, 1889, ''the Prince
had been out hunting early with his brother,
but returned at twelve, and half an hour after
wards obeyed the Queens summons to her
room, where he found her alone. After few
minutes conversation ON other subjects, the
Queen told him why she had sent for him, and
we can we'll understand any little hesitation and
delicacy she may have felt in doing so for the
Queens position, making it imperative that any
proposal of marriage should come first from her,
must necessarily appear painful one to those
who, deriving their ideas on this subject from
the practice of private life, are wont to look up
on it as the privilege and happiness of woman
to have her hand sought in marriage instead of
having to offer it herself"
This, unlike many marriages of royalty was
one of mutual love and devotion. On the day
in which she profered her hand to Albert, in
writing to her uncle, the King of the Belgians,
she said
"Ily mind IS quite made up, and I told Al
bert THIS morning ofit The warm affection he
showed me on learning this gave me great
pleasure. He seems perfection and [ think
that have the prospect of very great happi-
ness before me. love him more than can
say, and shall do everything in my power to
render this sacrifice for such in my opinion it
isl as small as [ can. He seems to have great
tact-a very necessary thing in his position
These last few days have passed like dream to
me, and am so much bewildered by it all that
| know hardly how to write; but do feel very
happy"
GENERAL SICKLEs's ARGUMENT.-The tele-
graph gives us an inkling of General Sickles'
argument against the policy of allowing the
Federal courts to interfere with matters in the
unreconstructed States. We have heard of his
argument before 1t occurred in conversation
between two darkies engaged in robbing hen
roost One of them asked the other whether
he thought they were doing right. The reply
was, That a great moral question, Sambo.
Hand down another "pullet." So with Sickles.
He wants the work to go on, right or wrong
and actually argues that because the court
would decide the reconstruction laws to be un-
constitutional, therefore they must not be open
ed to the owner of the pullets. Richmond Dis

The NEW RIVER MrxEs.-v. Caraway, Esq,

The New RIVER MrxEs.-V. Caraway, Esq,
who owns tradng-post at the Forks of New
River, was here last week He is firm in the
opinion that New River and its tributaries will
yet furnish profitable employment to thousands
OF miners. Miles upon miles of the country are
yet unprospected-in fact the only placers yet
worked to any great extent are those of Pony
and Virgin creeks. The few miners now work
ing on the former stream are making money
Mr. Caraway considers it an inviting field for
energetic laboriDg men, but hopes that the
class of GROWERS who visit unprospected locali-
ties merely to scratch over the top dirt of a bar
or bench, and then 60 off cursing the country,
will stay away they are not the kind wanted on
New River. He showed us specimens of gold
taken from those mines which, coming from
Idaho or Montana, would cause another of the
"stampedes" which have so much reduced our
population already The day is coming when
the rush will be this way gain.

discredit on the Judge of a ncighboring Judicial

man who is worthy the position.
