will ever afterwards remain clothed in the

absolutely unnatural and disgusting, in
such case these features are yelled and
unseen. / he children Of Spiritualists or
diuarily grow up to be spiritualists the
children OF Mormons become Mormops
themselves and if the offspring of believers
in miscegnation do not in course Of time
take unto themselves wives and husbands
from among aegroes, it is because soma
white man or woman happened to win
their affections first. The event is purely
accidental.
One Of the most shocking cases Of mis-.
cegnation which has yet occurred 10 the
disgrace Of civilization of society in this
city has recently come to light, wherein
one of the parties is q negro draymap,
black as midnight, and the other young
and in many respects accomplished woman,
the daughter Of Chicago MERCHANT
Monstrous as the statement may seem,
these twain are man and wife, and their
marriage took place with the oonsen.,hee-
ly and uRhesitatingly given, of the brides
parents. 1t is something over O year
since the disgusting spectacle was pre-
sented of well.to-do- merchant velut-
tarily, and proudly even giving, away his
daughter to the embraces of O negso-
something over year since the select
party of devotees to this admirable philo.
sophy gathered together upon. that festive
occasion to admire the trosSeau of o negro'l
bride, and witness the cermony which
= was to forever brand her offspriug.---
' From that time TO this, husband and wife
f have lived together in the most affection
= ate manner. The man was her choice,
r her dearly beloved, and no wonder they
3; should live happily together. The essaO-
t ishment maintained by them has never been
: an imposing one it was early found that
: even money could not re-purohase the po-
Q sition which the young woman has once
t held, and the newly.married pair very
i quickly found it to tho advantage of all
| concerned to take small cottage in an Oh.
? scure part of the city, where they now
t continue to dwell, and from whence the
= happy groom starts off with his drsy, at.
ter imprinting kiss upon tile fair cheek
of bis affectionate wife, smoking short
It black pipe, and gaily whisiling Kingdom
Coming or some other popular tune.
e The citizen above referred to aud
1t whose name for common decency sake we
e suppress, is strong believer in certain
:, model school of politics. and like many
G unfortunate individuals in that party was
" led far astray from sound reasoning by
d the boldly maintained fallacies and oily
d rhetoric Of some Of their leading orators,
: and became firm and ardent supporter
n OF the doctrine of the absolute equality
social and political-of the white aud
u black races. In this faith he rejoiced in
!. being of the strictest of his sect. His
>. children were taught the same creed, asd
\. grew up with constantly deepening con-
viction that the question of color was but
y silly prejudice, aud that the black man
r. was in every respect after all the the white
mans peer In this way all the objeo-
, tion to such a remarkable match had been
,r at an early day uprooted from the girls
D, mind and she was gradually sohooled TO
k make the extraordinary choice above
mentioned.
d So far as the immediate parties to this
X affair are concerned, the matter is Of tri-
" fling importance now. If any young wo.
man is unhappy enough to be possessed o.
such strong African prOclivities, il car
u. only be hoped that she may enjoy hersel
in such union but in its tendehcies upon
20 public society, affairs Of this natare cal
not be to strongly condemned by every
rs well wshsr of the race.
