An Unhappy Marriage.

When the Marquis Of Lornc married
Queen Victoria's daughter, the Princess
LOUISA, people thought him a very iortu.

the Oldest son Of the Duke Of Argyle, one
Not the richest and most arlstocratic of
theScotch peers; family that considers
its blood q little blner than that which

family Of EhgiRnd. For that matter
there are several peeEs Of the British

marry Princess Of the royal family. All
parties seemed satisfied. The molherly
Queen Of England was thought to have
shown in special manner her character.

her daughters to one Of the great houses
Of her own nobility. Everybody said it
was infinitely preferable to hunting up q
German elector or Danish Prince or some
other sort of Continental adventurer, like
Prince TICK for instance.
The match might no doubt have been
a happy one had tho Princess LOUISA
been as highly endowed with good sense
as with worldly position. But 1t appears
that she has not been willing to give up
going 10 places where her husband could
not appear with her on terms Of equality,
and where in consequence his pride has
been humiliated. According to a London
paper he was requested to withdraw from
tent set apart for tho royal family at
Buckingham Palace Garden by one oil the
equerries in waiting, request that was
of course very Calling to his pride. The
same thing, in one shape and another, &C.

Queen has not used her influence to pre-.
vent such occurrences as are published to

OF two persons so closely related to her Is
matter of much more importance than

not seem wise thing to do for a young
