Fleming county has a sensation at
last-the marriage of negro to a
young and colnely white woman. The
parties are William King, an ordina-
ry looking negro about twenty-six
years Of age, who for the greater part
of the time has hired himself out on
different farms, and Margaret MCGEE,
aged twenty-three, daughter of james
McGee, a well.to-do farmer Of MUSES.
Mills. II seems that the girl had Ia
ken fancy to the negro, and followed
him, using all her ingenious wiles 10
gain his favor. An intimacy sprang
up between them which eliminated In
their marriage by Squire John Mar
shall, on Tuesday, the Oath ult. In
order to conceal the facts in the case,
the negro had the license Issued for
the marriage Of William King and
Margaret McGee, both of color, and
the same was recorded on the colored
marriage license book, placing the le-
gality of the union in a rather preca-
rious condition. The girls family is
quite respectable, and this rash act of
hers falls heavily upon them. Il Mays

The history ofdomestic architecture
in our country illustrates in q very
striking manner the rise of civiliza-
ton aud the extinction of harbarism.
We have not to travel back more than
few hundred years to find domestic
comfort a thing entirely unknown, and
the abode of princes entirely destitute
Of conveniencies which are now con.
sidered necessary in the house of ev.
cry peasant. Our Saxon forefathers
lived in the rudest possible style. The
homes even of Kings and lords con-
sisted simply Of one large apartment
or "hall," in which all the details of
domestic life were carried on by them
selves and their immediate attendants.
Privacy was a thing entirely unknown.

H"ss9a Nsfwre tsserffns nseff
u i now forty.one years since the
little red.headed daughter Of the Duke
Of Kent succeeded her uncle to the
throne Of England. Il has heen a
a reign both creditable to womanhcod
and to the country. Her ministers
have been men whose judgment has
increased the prosperity Of all classes;
through them she has been an active
benefactor Of commerce, science and
literature. Instructions have been
sublucd, the mutinous Sepoys choked
into submission and peace, aud the
Crimea only resulted in increase Of
British power. Philanthropy has not
suffered under her womanly example;
religion has been free from bigotry,
and morality gained lustre from the
character Of the pure wife and exem-
plary mother. History will record
this all, and a great deal more, to the
House Of Brunswick; but IL Is not the
province Of the historian to tell the
world that Queen Victoria had vii
famous temper, and that the long and
sincerely mourned Albert, her Ger
manic husband, was subject TO the
Xanthippish humanity that satirical
nou.matrimonialists declare all iemin.
Unity is prickling with. Nevertheless,
being a Queen, she was also woman,
and inclined To rule the domestic king.
dom, and IL there is truth in human
optics and hearing, the early married
life Of Albert was just little what
democratic, plain talk would pro-
nouncc hen-pecked.
Victoria loved her Albert, and wo'
men 10 love to henpeck the man they
love, and even to be Queen you
have got to he first a woman; so il
stands to reason that the scene told

ed for.

died. life, and the young couple used to
breakfast tcte-d-tete, or sdns ceremony,
with some intimate friend or relative
visiting them, as on this occasion,
when the young wife served the tea,
coffee, or chocolate, and gossiped the
same rs any other woman, and wouldn't
tolerate contradiction any more than
any other woman; but Albert some
times ventured to do 50, and then his
Vic's golden hair began to bristle, and
her face flushed, while she sassed him
back, until he arose from the table
and withdrew. But one morning he
didn't withdraw from within the reach
Of the steaming silver coffee service
quick enough, and the flying missiles
caught his princely back, whence they
had been hurled by the angry Queen.
He neither turned nor seemed to no
tice the indigDity, but quietly passed
out and closed the door after him.
The wife's temper was as quickly
spent as the force of the throw, and
then the woman began to repent. A
dozen times she went to her husbands
door during that day and was denied
admittance, until thoroughly hum.
bled and wretched, she bent her head
to the lock, and with fearful voice,
murmured-"Please, Albert, forgive
me; III cry myself sick if you don't
come and kiss me this minute!"
The tender.hearted man couldn't
that, so the two rulers OF
England made up, like other spatting
people.
