HOW SHE FOLLOWED THE YOUNG GERMAN,
WHOM SHE LOVED IN EUROPE, TO THE WEST,
AND MARRIED HIN IN INDIANAPOLIS.
From the Toledo Blade, May gel
For some time past the papers through
out the country have been publishing the
following item, which was set afloat by the
Indianapolis Journal:
" \ Boston girl and her mother, who are
stopping at one OF the hotels in this city,
came West in search OF young German, to
whom the daughter became very much at
tachcd while spending few months in
Europe with her parents some two years
ago. The last they heard OF the young man
was that he had come to indianapolis. He
is said TO be poor but well educated, and
the parties in search of him are very
wealthy"
1t was the good fortune OF Blade re-
porter, who happened to be at the depot
just before the departure of the western
train which carried the aforementioned
party on their journey toward Indianapolis,
to become acquainted with the young lady
and her mother The young lady is Miss
Mary NJ. Cochran, OF Boston. She IS re-
markably fne-looking person, apparently
twenty.0ne or two years OF age. She was
very styiiSllly dressed, and presented IL
most interesting appearance. Through the
courtesy Of one Of the railroad officials who
was acquainted with them an introduction
was obtained, and Il very pleasant interview
followed. 1t seems that two years ago this
spring Miss Cochran, accompanied by her
mother and n number OF friends from Bos-
ton, went to Europe TO spend the summer.
During brief stay in CarlSruhc. Germany,
Miss Cochran became acquainted with a
youn. German named Charles 4. Brandon
burg. He was young mail OF great ab'l-
itv. well educated, and of respectable PIT
rcntage. although they were quite poor.
The many noble qualities Of heart and head
completely won the heart of the young
American, and she fell desperately in love
with him. This feeling was mutual, and
during the interviews the young man re-
| lated the condition Of things at his fathers
house. The family was in the hands OF Il
cruel hollse-owner, who not only owned the
small house in which they lived, but was
also proprietor OF the mills i'll which the
| father, son, and brother earned their scanty
pittancp. On account OF some difficulty
which had occurred some years before this
man, whose name was Stclnmann, cherished
| a deadly hatred against the Brandenburg
| family So deep was this hatred that lie
| would do everything in his power to keep
| them down. although some of the greatest
| improvements in his mill had been made Ivy
| the elder Brandcublrg. lie so exercised hl-
authority that they were kept in poverty
and every effort they made to better their
| fortune was oyerthrown by the relentless
landowner. At last Charles, the eldest son.
| determined to come to America and try To
| do something to help himself and family IN
| this country.
Such was the state OF affairs when the
| Young American lady knew him first and
loved him. Two months after they pllgh'ed
| their troth, and I3ranlenhurg sailed 1ol
| America. Soon after Miss Cochran re-
turned to Boston. 4 correspondence was
kept up for oVcr wear following their
| separation. Then the YOUNG German, VINO
| had been working in New York ana Ili'la-
dclphia, set out for the West, and the letters
came Icss Frequently, aud finally there were
| none at all. Uuriur all this time the young
lady, who was pretty and accomplished
| enough to have won the hearts OF ScofS ~
| admirers even in rigid, upright old Boston,
| remained true to her first love. When sue
heard no more Of her lover she was allios'
crazy, and Is the time grew on her suspense
