SEPARATED BY A BLOOD TAINI.

Curious Outcome of the Marriage of Loving
Pennsylvania Couple.
year ago prominent young man of
Titusville who had spent couple of
years in Il edmond, returned TO his
fathers home and introduced as his vile
beautiful young woman. A few weeks
ago the young wife became mother,
For four days no one was permitted to
enter her room. The mother was not
allowed to see her offspring, the roo N
being kept dark. the young husband
fiaally demanded admittance. Then fol
lowed a startling development. He dis
covered that the child was an undoubted
negro. The indignation of the husband
and his parents was terrible. The wife's
father was communicated with, and a
letter from that gentleman in measure
makes matters plain. Briefly stated, the
answer was this: Bessie, the young wife,
was adopted when q child from an asylum
in Richmond. About four years after
the adoption the foster parents accident
ally heard that the girl was the child of a
miscegenous marriage. No trace of this
was visible in the child, who was as white
as any Caucasian. = he secret of her life
and true parentage was never revealed to
her, until now. The distI action of hus-
band and wife is very pathetic. Family
pride will not allow a continuance of the
marital relations, yet they are deeply at
tached to puch other

In 1880 there we're in the thirteen South

The product OF the mills has increased in
value from S2l 600, 600 in 1850 to $4,000

wonderful accounts OF the former life in
that State. There have been found re-
mains of the rhinOceros, the mastadon

lecturer, "led q careless, lazy life" And
why noti There were no Atlantic cable
companies in those days TO disturb his
peace of mind. No Chinese to be slaught-
cred for patr lotto ends. The aboriginal

he died he had no fear that his will
