The Detroit Press says:
damse has been found way out in the
woods Of Ionia county who has found an affinity
in the person of an Augjo-Africsn, elorifying in
the very modest name OF Louis Hall The
name Of the fair Dasdemons IS Cornelia Brad
ley, resident Of the suburbs of the Fl a'uIi5hiDg
town of Lyons, the notorious rendezvous Of free
love- and it would seem, amslgamationism
a dispatch was received yesterday morning.
stating that the l0ving twain above named were
on their way to Canada to be made lone flesh,
aud would srTive ct this point on the morning
train Accordingly, tho "minions of the law
were at The depot promptly on tbe arrival Of the
| cars, and sure enough the subjects Of their A.
tansicu made their appearance, arm in arm, and
quietly wended their way to the ferry beat to
migrate to the land "where c9ored man were
/ free But tho fond hopes Of their yesrning
hearts We're destined to be blasted ere their feet
had touched ths shores Of the promised lsnd, or
even the less romantic ferry boat. Their dreams
of uualoyed welded Bliss were nipped ia the
bud as the sfficer tapped TIE sable lover on ths
shoulder aud informed him that he was prs-
through his black, wool covered skull the effect
was truly heartending (in gamstion
point Of view;) the WI, rolled in
their sockets Ike t&o Oalis " tIo tie deep re-
cesses of his soul were stirred iFithn him; and,
in g tone of deep Indignation he demanded as
an "Americqn citizen cf African seen" to
be 'let alone" giving startling emphasis to
his words BY the nsshiDg Of his teeth and the
threatening, battering-rau motion of his gsnu-
inc Ethiopian head. But he was in The hands Of
men who were, theoretically, supposed never TO
shrink from their duty, and the soTowful counla
wers taken to the police court room, where they
were duly questioned as TO their Intentions. and
placed in dursnee vile until the arrival of tha
officers from Lyons, to which place they VIII be
returned-the girl 20 her home, aud the lever %
wherever the good people Of that novel town
may send him.
CordeIa seemed to take he rest with quite as
much regret as her afianesd, and manifested
her s0uOT and indignation in words full Of ten
derness to her ebony lord and terrible with
wrath TO her prosecutors. She decia ed her
love for him before al present, and yehsmently
protested against their being detsiDed, declaring
that she would marry him in defiance Of all
law shat he was as good and better than any
white man, and come veal, come woe" she
would share his bed and board till death did
part them. On being questioned as to whether
she had not shared the former already, she
strenuously and with virtnous indignation de-
MED the charge; bat appearances, though often
dseeitful, certainly led to the impression Of
stolen interviews in the past There is an ev-
ident inAsxibiIity Of purpose on the part Of both
and, as in the case of the Judson girl st Ponti-
&C, it is only a question of time-sh9 is bound
to become the wife of a nigger, and neither
shame nor awe can prevent her from doing so.
Tho girl is only sbout eighteen years old, is
really good boxing, and eYiie lly understands
the rules of etiquette quite as well as many
who would sooner wed the devil, tail, h0ois,
and all, than such a disgusting specimen IS
the ore to whom she is betrothed Her pa-
rents are represented as being quite wealthy
people, who have kept the negro as a servant
in their employ, and made him, to appear
ances, e member of their family. They viii
now reap the bitter fruit Of such a course IN
the ten thousand times worse than death of their
daughter The girl is forever lost 80 respect
anls sdecency. Even should her separation from
her nOgro paTamouT be eternal, the finger OF
scoFn viii be pointed OF her TO her dying day,
8s the white woman who disgyace1 her sex aud
common decency By conssntiDg to become the
wife Of black, ugly looking, disgusting negro.
