a QUEER ELoPEMENT.

Young Man Eiopes ~ith Wealthy
widow.
The Rev. DR.. John 6. Patton, mission
airy to the New Hebndes, now IN BoS-
ton, tells the following to a Traveller
reporter about young man named Mel
wang, who had elOped with Il wealthy
widow named Yakin: They had come
to the house of the missionary and had
been cared for. They acted as servants
and did their work faithfully and well.
They showed an interest IN the things
pertaining to Jesus and his gospel, aud
ut my request they publicly appeared
lat church on the Sabbath. Aelwang
knew our customs. Every wOrshiper
has to be seated when our little bell
cease ringing. Aniwains would ba
ashamed to enter after the service had
actually begun. AS the bell ceased, Mel
wang, knowing that he would have a
clear course, marched in, dressed in
shirt and kilt and grasping very deter
ninedly his tomahawk.
He sat down as near 10 me as he
could conveniently get trying hard 10
conceal his manifest agitation. Slightly
smiling toward me, he then turned and
OOled eagerly at the door through which
the women entered and left the church,
us If to say Yakiu Is coming. IN a few
minutes she entered. Tie first visible
difference between a Christian and "a
heather is than the former wears some
clothing and tie latter wears none. IA
kin determined 20 show the extent Of
her Christianity by the amount of cloth
ing she could carry upon her person.
Being a CHIEFS widow, she had some
idea OF state occasions and appeared
dressed in every article Of European APP
parel, mostly portions Of male attire,
that she could beg or borrow from about
the premises. Her bridal gown was u
mans drab-colored great coat, put on
bJVe her native grass skrst, and sweep
ing down to her heels, buttoned tight.
above that again, most amazing to all,
she had superinduced Il pair OF men's
trowsers, drawing the body over her
head and leaving leg dangling grace
fully over each OF her shoulders and
streaming down her back. Fastened to
one shoulder also there WAS a RED shirt,
waving about her Like wings as sue
sailed along.
Around her head a red shirt had
been twisted like a turban, and her no
tons Of art demanded that IA sleeve
thereof should hang aloft over each of
her ears She seemed to be moving
monster loaded with a mass of rags.
The day was excessively hot, and the
perspirution poured over her face in
streams. She, too, sat as near to me as
she could get on the women's side OF
the church Nelwang looked at me as
if 20 say, You never saw in all your
white world. bride dressed like her,
and | agreed with him fully
