An elopement and marriage took place on
Saturday which was little ont of the usual line,
sufficiently So we imagine, to satisfy the most
craving appetite for the novel and disgusting,
both Of which we have-the latter in sufficient
quantity to turn any white stomach in existence
A young girl named Sarah Judson, whose father
lives on fine property mile or two from Pom
tiac, eloped on Saturday and came to Detroit. -
The partner of her flight was black man, who
has been in the employment of her father for
some time in the capacity of farm hand The
tion of the parties was conveyed by the fact of
their flight They Immediately crossed over to
Windsor, upon reaching this city, fully sensible
that they could never accomplish their unnatural
designs on this side, as no official or clergyman
could have been found who would have so far
trangressed the bounds of decency as to unite
the couple, the appearance of the girl being such
as would forbid the union in the mind of any
case Some individual was found in Canada
who performed the ceremony, however, and the
two were made one They are now in Windsor,
enjoying the sweets of the honeymoon.
The father of the girl is red hot abolitionist,
of the whole hog or nothing, niger as good as
anybody style. For long series of years he has
disguised his neighbors with his ranting on abo-
lition and amalgamation, of which he was dis
posed to abate not jot or title from its ut
most limit. In order that he might not be said
to preach what he did not practice, he made it a
point to treat the numerous colored individuals
whom he from time to time employed as on par
with his own family. These doctrines he incul-
Gated upon the understandings of his children
and he has the supreme satisfaction of witnessing
as the practical result of his teaching his own
daughter clasped in the embrace of greasy mig
ger, willing and ready, and even enthusiastically
reciprocal in the sweet game of dalliance with
which lovers delight to celebrate their unions
The brother of the girl came on the next day,
arriving here on Sunday, and aseertained their
whereabouts, went to her and implored her to
retarn. She was contented, however, loved her
ebony half, was happy in his arms and couldn't
think of going back. The emotions of brother
at such a sight can better be imagined than de-
scribed Some men would have b1otted out
their disgrace with single blow, but he had
been taught that it was no sin against God or
man that his young sister should repose in the
embrace of negro, and at the same time calmly
look him in the face and say that she was con-
tented. He went home as he had come,
alone
The girl is about eighteen years old. The
family are said to have occupied position in
society which was first class, and the blow is
consequently terrible one. The father is rich
and the girl an heiress, which makes it very nice
for the African of her choice The matter has
caused an intense excitement in the neighborhood
where the parties are well known, the girl hav-
ing been born and brought up where her parents
reside. It is difficult to imagine any train OF
circumstances by which young and intelligent
girl could be brought to form connection so
repugnant to all the Senses yet the fact exists.
A more complete retribution for the crime of
fanaticism we never heard Of The least we can
wish is that the father, undoubtedly well cured
of his beliefs by this time, may be able save his
young daughter from the terrible future which so
opens to her.
