THE NEGRO ELopEMENr CASE AGA1N.-The
late rumpus in the family affairs of the amalga-
mationst Judson, at Detroit, Michigan, caused
by his daughter running away with negro,
has excited the laxative propensties of his
neighbors, who give publicity to numerous little
incidents which go to show what makes up men
of his creed. A correspondent writing from
Detroit says:
The modern Othello came near falling VIC
| tim to the treachery of some wags who were en-
trusted by the girls father with "a message to
him. When he prevailed upon his daughter to
return home with him, it was by the exercise Of
arts that might be expected from such source,
viz promises that the negro might come and
see her when he choose, and stay as long as he
liked in the exercise of his marital privileges
| When he got out of reach however he sent
came. Those who bore the message reversed it,
and informed the love-lorn darkey that he was
to go to Pontiac the next day, when he would
be once more received into the arms of his Dull
fun in case he would be persuaded to go, for al
though nobody imagined that her family had
spirit enough to touch him, even should he march
into their midst, yet it was known that the peo-
pie in the vicinity for miles around were so in
censed that they would have hung him on the
spot had he shown himself. Like the frogs in
the fable, it would have been fun for the wags,
but death to the niger. He took the bait and
packed up his portmanteau, bu: as he was about
to take the cars the next morning, was shown
the Free Press, by which he was informed of
the true state of affairs and enabled to save his
black skin from roasting
The style of living which the young woman
was introduced to on the first day of the honey
moon is worth noticing Her sable lover, in
pursuance ofan intention to set up housekeeping,
bought some dishes and old furniture. and the
two moved into board shanty in the back part
of Windsor. This was in the old negro quarter,
which, it is needless to say, comprises several
quarters of the old town, and was surrounded
| by about fifty more negro shanties The
occupants of these, quite taken by surprise,
turned out en- masse, and the bridal calls of the
young wife consisted of an indscriminate rush OF
darkies all ages, sexes colors, and varieties,
The only room she had was filled with these
odorous visitors from morning till night, who
gazed at her with mouths open while little ebonies
climed on the roof peeped in the windows, and
stole her corn bread. It is estimated by CON-
petent Windsor authorities that she received a
thousand calls the first day. How she got
through with her receptions is unknown, but,
considering the fact that she had been brought
up in decency, it is natural to suppose that
her stomach must have rebeIed occasionally,
notwithstanding the inculcations of her father,
who believed them good enough for her until
they actually got her.
The story which the parent circulated, to
the effect that she was insane and that he should
put her into an asylum, is all bosh. No asylum
will admit her. as she has given not the slightest
sign of insanity
