DlsSusting Case-A White Girl ElOpes
with . NeyfO.

An elopemeLt and marriage took place
on Saturday which was little out Of the
usual line, sufficiently some imagine to sat
isfy 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
q fiue property mile or two from Pontiac,
elOped on Saturday and came TO Detroit
The partner of her flight was black man,
who had been in the employment of her
father, for some time in the capacity of a
farm hand. The first intimation that the
father had of the intimacy of the parties
was conveyed by the fact of their flight
They Immediately crossed over to Windsor,
upon reaching the city. fully sensible that
they never could accomplish their unnatur-
| al designs on this side, as no officer or cler-
gyman could have been found who would
have so far transgressed the bounds of de-
cency as to unite the couple, the appear
ance of the girl being such as would forbid
the union in the mind Of any sensible man,
to say nothing OF the law in the case. Some
individual was found in Canada who per-
formed the ceremony, however, and the
two were made one. They are now in
Windsor, enjoying the sweets of the honey
moon.
The father of the girl is redhot aboli-
zionist, of the whole-hog -or-nothing, niger
as-good- as-anyb STYLE For long years
he has Disguised his neighbors with his ran
ting on abolition and inauguration, OF
which he was disposed to abate not lot or
II little from its utmost limit In order
that he might not be said to preach what
he did not practice, he made it point to
treat the numerous colored individuals
whom he from time to time employed, as
on par with his own family. These doc
triues he inculcated upon the understand
ings 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 Niger,
willing and ready, and even enthusiast
cally reciprocal in the sweet game of dali.
ance with which lovers q delight to cele-
brate their union. The brother of the girl
came ON the next day, arriving here on
Sunday, and, ascertaining their wherea-
bouts, went to her and implored her to re-
turn. 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 described. Some
men would have blotted 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 en-
brace of . negro. and at the same time
calmly look him in the face and say she
was contented. He went home % he had
come, alone.
The girl is about eighteen years old. The
family is said to have occupied position
in society which was first class, and the
tlow is consequently terrible one. The
father is rich and the girl an heress, which
makes It very nice for the African of her
choice. The matter has caused an intense
excitement in the neig5borhood, where the
parties are we'll known, the girl having
been born and brought up where her ps-
rents reside It 10 difficult to imagine anv
train Of circumstances BY which young
and intelligent girl could be brought to
form connection 90 repugnant to all the
senses, yet the fact exists. A more CON.
plete retribution for the crime Of fanatacisn,

10, that the father. undoubtedly we'll cured
Of his beliefs by this time, may be able to
save bis young daughter from the terrible
| future which now opens 10 her.
