EIopement of Rich Heiress with a Negro.


Practical fruit, of Abolttionisn- The hapy par Marrsed


in Canada-IHe Girl conteylted icah her african


Spouse.


An elopement and marriage took place on Saturday
which was out of the the usual line, sufficiently So we
imagine to satisfy the most craving appetite for the novel
and disgusting, both of which we have-the latter il
sufficient quantity to turn any white stomach in e5s-
tence. A young girl named Sarah Judson, whose father
lives fine property mile or two from Pontiac,
eoped on Saturday and came to Detroit The partner
OF her flight was black man, who has been in the en-
ployment of her father for sometime in the capacity of
farm hand The first intmation that the father had Of
the intention of the parties was conveyed by the fact OF
their flight. They Immediately crossed over to Wind-
sor upon reaching this city fully sensible they could
accomplish their unnatural designs this side
no official or clergyman could have been found who
would have so far transgessed the bounds of decency
to unite the couple, the appearance OF the girl being
such would forbid the union in the mind Of any
sbe man. to say nothing of the law in the case. Some
individual found in Canada who performed the cer-
emony, however, and the two made one They are
in Windsor, enjoying the sweets of the honeymoon
The farther Of the girl sa redhot aboltionist of
the whole hog or nothing, Niger good as anybody
style. For long series of years he has disgusted
his neghbors with his ranting on abolition and.
amalgamation of which he was disposed to abate not
ot little from its utmost limit In order that he
might not be said to preach what lie did not practice
he made it point to treat the numerous coored ind
vduals whom he from time to time employed, as on
par with his own family. These doctrines he incuca
ted upon the understandings of his Children and he has
the supreme satisfaction Of witnessing, the practical
result of his teachings, his own daughter caped in the
embrace of greasy ngger willing and ready, and even
enthusiastically reciprocal In the sweet game OF dal
with which lovers delight to celebrate their union.
The brother of the girl the next day. arriving
here Sunday and ascertaning their whereabouts went
to her and mpored her to return. She was contented,
however, loved her ebony half was happy in his arms,
and couldn't think of going back. The emotions of
brother at such sight can better be imagined than de-
scribed. Some would have blotted out their dis
grace with single blow but he had been taught that it
was no sin against God or man that his young sister
should repose in the embrace of negro and at the
time calmly look him in the face and say that she
contented. He went home as he had come, alone.


The girl is about eighteen years old. The family
said to have occupied position In society which was
first class, and the blow is consequently terrible
The father rch and the girl heiress which makes
it very nice for the African of her choice The matter
has caused intense excitement in the neghborhood
where the parties well known, the girl having been
born and brough up where her parents reside. 1t is
difficult to imagine any train of circumstances by which
a young and intelligent girl could be brought to form


connection repugnant to all the senses yet the fact
exists. A complete retributon for the crime Of
anacism we never heard Of The least we wish is
that the father undoubtedly well cured of his beliefs by
this tme may be able to his young daughter from
the terrible future which now opens to her.
| ST. CHRYsosToM-John of Antioch, called from his
eloquence the goldenmouthed, born in 355, little
later than the founding of Constantinope His father
died while he young his mother remained widow

the remark of Sir James Macintosh, that all great
men have had able mothers" At the age of twenty,
Chrysostom was renowned pleader at the bar. At
twentysx, he turned religious hermit and spent eight
years IN study OF the Scriptures in penance and prayer
He then ordained priest at Antioch and tradition

thought the greatest Christian orator next to Paul. and
once when the Emperor offended at the people of An
toch, about to lay waste the city, his eloquence
saved them. He was made patriarch of Consantinope,
but much he adored by his countrymen that it
was necessary to kidnap him and carry him away by


force of soldiers before the citizens had time to interfere
He good he great fearless of anything but
God and in his position he thundered against the
vices of the Greeks and the Imperial House eectua

tenderness and pathos at home in all learning, noble in
form and action his imagery rich and inexhaustibe his
voice Clear flexible and sprtstirring In his troubles
he greatly strengthened himself by the scrptura
pies and teachings. At length, worried out by perse
cutions he died at obscure village the borders of
Syria. More than 1400 years afterwards, Henry Mar
tyn, under circumstances srkngy similar only that he
was missionary, not martyr, died at the same vii


age. And the friend of modern missions loves to think,
while bending the lowly headstone at Tocat that


the remains of the young, the good and the gifted Cam
bridge graduate repose the spot from which the soul
of the great preIate took its flight heavenward.

An economical administration commends ITSELF again,
to that class of statesmen who would restrict the power
of the Federal Government within the limits of its

and by consequence, of its authority When the dis
