Bayard Taylor and His Habits.

Bayard Taylor wrote a beautiful
hand. He detested blind and SLOW
enly writing, and used to say that
any man could write plainly who
would make and effort. His manu-
script was the delight of printers
Mr.. Taylor wrote quietly and steadi-
ly, and produced a great deal more
"copy' in a given time than any one
would suppose him capable Of doing
who observed Is apparent ease and
absence of hurry. He was rather care
less in his dress, but not like Horace
Greedy. enough so to be conspicuous.
He liked stout, plain suit of clothes
that could be worn long time. a
loose-ftting gray over-coat and
a broad-brim SLOUGH hat. He
was a hearty eater, and was
found of the German national
beverage, which he habitually drank
at dinner. In religion he might
have been classed as Unitarian or
a Deist, though he had great rever-
ence for the faith of his Quaker an.
cestors. Ia his later years the de-
sire for travel wore off, and he used
to set out on a journey with much
reluctance, After seeing and know
ing we'll all the great cities of the
world his preference was New York.
He often said he had rather live
there than in any European capitol.
Taylor's wife was the daughter of
the celebrated German astronomer,
Prof. Hasen. She is lady of 1ne
culture and considerable literary tai
ent. A school history of Germany,
written by her husband fer use in
American schools, was recently
translated by her into German.
Their daughter, Lillian, closely re-
sembles her father as be appeared
in his youthful days. Taylor built
the house near Kennett Square where
his parents still live, and where they
celebrated their golden wedding
nearly ten years ago. He called
the place Cedarcroft, and hoped to
pass his old age there.

A MAYNARD DAUGHTER.
To Spite her Wealthy and Re-
spected Parents she Marries
Coarse, Ignorant. COlOred Coal
From AZ New York Herald.

Digger.
From the New York Herald.
The little town Of Beaver, which
is one of the suburbs OF Pittsburg,
Pa, is in a terrible state of excite
ment. One of the prettiest, wealth
lest. best known and really accom-
pIished young ladies Of the town left
her fathers house and deliberately
married a negro, who is as ugly and
ignorant as he is black. For some
tin e past Miss Annie Mason had
given her parents a great deal OF
trouble by her reckless, hayward
conduct, but being an only daughter
she was spoiled by indulgence. Her
father is United States storekeeper
in Indiana county. but lives in
Beaver and is wealthy. Her uncle
is ex-Chief Justice Daniel Agne"'
of the Supreme Court, and the fam
ily is really one Of the best in this
mart of the State. Mrs. George
Jones. lately Miss Annie Mason, IS
twenty years old. is symmetrically
formed and is brunette with large
ewes and an exceedingly pretty face.
She had quarrel with her parents
on Wednesday night, and early yes
terday morning she left her home
and met George Jones, a coarse, IL
literate, negro coal digger. by an
appointment which she had made by
some unknown means during the
NIGHT. At five o'clock in the morn
ing Jones and another negro, &C
companied by Miss Mason, went tc
Rochester, which is about a mile
from Beaver, and hurried to the
house of a colored clergyman, who
married Jones to Miss Mason in the
presence of a couple of white mer
who were called in to act as wit
nesses.
HOME OF HER OWN.
The couple then took the next
train back To Beaver, where Jones
hired a room in a small house, which
has only three rooms in it, two o.
which we're already occupied by ne
GRO families. The reckless girl Sent
home for her trunk, piano anG some
ofthe ornaments from her room, and
this was the first intimation bel
mother had of the marriage. Hel
mother tried to persuade her daugh
ter to return to her home, but she
refused. Her father is not at home
and knows nothing as yet Of the al
fair. 1t is not known how Miss
Mason Became acquainted with
Jones. or where she ever met him.
A POSSIBLE LYNCHlNG,
Threats are openly made by the
veung men of Beaver of tarring and
feathering Jones and driving him
out of the town, but up to the pres
ent time nothing has been done, and
Mr. and Mrs. Jones are living in
their squalid. foul aired, tiny room
/
while the hayward girls mother is
lying at her elegant home crazy with
brain fever brought on by Armies
conduct.

stated that he believed that every man
created his own God. Some made him
cruel, Others good. He then compared
Mary at the tomb after the resurrection,
losing her God, and Mieah, in the Old
Testament, who made himself an image
in silver, as God, and lost it, He said
they were both deeply grieved over their
loss.

'They are all pleased with Bo. I
shall be directed by circumstances,
which are very mutable in this life.
The marriage, 1 know was desired by
joseph, who wrote it to the Princess.
She answered that she desired one be-
tween the son of Lucien and Jeseph's
daughter, now in America. Since our
arrival she is still more anxious that my
son should be the person chosen instead
of Lucien's son, which some Etimel ago
she had desired. She has written her
preference of my son, but whether
Joseph will choose him know not.
Madame, knowing the state of JosePh's
finances and the impossibility of ever
doing anything for anyone, wishes
Joseph to provide for this child by
marriage have given my consent and
promise that he shall remain with
Joseph wherever he may be, but will
not incur the expense of sea voyage
unless Joseph writes me positively his
intentions. This / have stated, as well
as the impossibiiity of my giving away
money, my income being, with great
economy, barely sufficient for my own
maintenance. Yours truly, dear sir.
