Cbnen1erciGi relates the followlng:-A few years
ago, to the great satisfaction of the faithful,
pOetess the legitimate successor of Eliza Cook,
began TO sing her sweet songs in Great Salt Lake
City. IL was Miss Carmichael, then but
twenty, a true child of the Territory and of the
faith. Born Mormon, she had always remained
one. III + poems, which were published in
collected form not long ago at San Francisco,
attracted much attention on the Western slope,
and were favorably mentioned by Eastern re-
viewers. But IT came to pass that q DOCTOR who
had served with colOred regiment during the
war, and had been with A. j. Smith in hotly
contested battles on the Red river of the South
and whose eIrant inclination had led him to
California, wandered to the chief city of Utah,
and there met the blonde, delicate poetess.
Himself cultivated, formed by experience of
battle and travel he naturally was attracted by
this singing bird, this woman who contrasted
so decidedly with her Mormon sisters. A
mutual inclination rpened into love, and, since
they knew that there could be no hope OF
happy union if they remained in Utah, she de.
1ermined to dy with him. So, choosing favora-
Die moment, she stole away with him, and they,
pursuing IneH EASTWARD Journey, reaCned
Chicago last Saturday, and on the following
Sunday she, for the first time in her life, en-
tered a Christian church. On Sunday night she
left with her betrothed for this city; whence
they proceed to the seaboard, where they will
be married, after which they intend to proceed
TO California by the lstsmus.
