BRILLIANT COLORED WEDDING

Swell Affair Among the Colored Aristo-
cracy of Louisiana-How the Daughter
ola Former Slave Entered Welded Life.
NEW ORLEANS, July 29.-The biggest
colored wedding ever witnessed in Louis
lana was that celebrated at Sonlouque
plantation in Iberville parish yes terday.
Few white weddings compare with it.
There was special train from this city
for invited guests. A string band was
imported for the occasion, and refresh
ments furnished by the first restaurateur
in New Orleans. By day the man.
sion of the brides father was mass
of natural flowers; and by night
the grounds were lighted with lanterns
and Japanese fire. All the cream of col
ored society graced the occasion, and not
a few white persons of standing were
among the guests. As for the dresses,
few ball rooms have seen any thing finer
or tastier. The contracting parties were
Miss Eadie Allaine, daughter OF
member of the Louisiana Legis-
lature, and Professor Palmerston
Landry, of Mansfield College, an
other legislator. The BRIDES father,
originally slave and coachman, bore
in those days the name of Sonlouque
He has not altogether forgotten that
time, for his sugar plantation, one of the
handsomest and prettiest in Louisiana,
still recalls the old slave day in its name
Sonlouque, whereas he himself is to-day
the Hon. Theophile Allaine. Every
prominent negro politician in the United
States was invited to this event and
nearly all sent presents or congratulatory
kilograms.

JIM Anguish & FAMILY,
SMal PockS.

Terror-strcken with fear of conta-
gion, the exploring party fled, but some
weeks later summoned courage to re-
turn, for the rough frontiersmen be-
lieved in the burial of the friendless dead.
Here curious fact was disclosed-no
trace of the tools employed by the An
guish family in their recent architecture
al labors could be found, nor Il foot
print of the horses they were known to
possess, nor shred of their clothing or
blankets. Another curious fact was
the skull of Mr.. Anguish himself ex-
hibited two apertures not usually pro-
vided by nature, one on the frontal bone
near the temple, the other in the occi-
put-both looking remarkably like the
work of bullet. Also rib, presume
bly, once. the private property of Mr..
Anguish's elder son, bore semi-circu.
lar scar which seemed to indicate vio-
lent contact with another bullet. Also
there was a notable absence of all
weapons, ammunition and provisions
merely the four low walls of each I'M
completed cabin, a few logs half hewn,
the bleaching bones and the tell-tale
letter in the cleft stick So the bones
were gathered, and roughly. yet not
unreverently. placed in shallow grave
between the unfinished cabins. At the
head of the sand heap that covered them
rude cross was erected, and the ex-
plorers rode grimly and in deep thoaght
from the valley.
