" 1'lftcun or twenty jo.irs boforc the breaking outof our fyto civil war ayoimu Krin \ \ her Icons cimo : up from Louisiana mid settled in Louisville , giving the muno of Ll//.iu C.irlton. Notlilnj : more was known of her tlmn Unit she wna accom panied by : i Doting man who was , or prctendeif to bo , deaf nnd dumb , ami who , after aiding her to secure n situation with Mrs Williams , n milliner iind dress maker on I'ouith street , returned at once southward by river. Liz/.ic v/iis a handsome brunette , with u wealth of raven hair which almost swept the lloor , bright , expressive oypfi , and altogether gen'eel nnd dignified in her general appearance. Ilor ladylike de portment and strict attention to the inter ests of her employer soon made her superintendent of the establishment. Social barriers were not so stubborn then us now , and hence the young and beauti ful ftrangor was soon received into the best society , forming n number of friends outside her regular business patrons , among others a Mrs. K. , a prominent member of the Haptist church , at whoso house the dark-eyed beauty was n fre quent visitor. She in time attached her self to that church , becoming n most exemplary member. .During lier visits to Mrs E. our heroine met Philip S. , himself one of the pillars of the Hitirch , who , uftor living in single blessedness for years , enjoying all alone his wealth and family station , soon con ceived a tender sentiment for the young nnd beautiful sister. It was not" long after the mutch-makers cot their heads together till Philip and Luiic were made one. TUE MAUKIAOR CKUEMOSY took place at the Baptist church then standing on the southwest corner of Fifth and Green , the Hov. Mr. liuck officiating , nnd many old timers living to this good day will recall all the facts exactly as I pivo them. After the ceremony the bi idu ami groom and their friends repaired to Air. S.'s resilience , about ten miles from Louisville , on the Bnrdstown pike , where the usual wedding festivities were en joyed. "The honeymoon , with other moons , dripping with honey , 'sweeter than the honeycomb , ' waxed and waned. The old 'bachelor , ' hapuy in the new world that Oawncd before him ; the young wife , with her back upon the past nnd its memories , was oven forgetting that she had been a hard-worked milliner in the struggle for bread. "Alas ! that over man's avarice and brutality should break in to mar ana de stroy n scene of happiness like this. Ahoul sunset one afternoon the door bell rang. L'u/ie - , now Mrs. S. , left her husband's bedside ( ho was confined to iis : room by a slight illness at the time ) , arranged her toilet , and descended to the parlor. "Ono piercing scream that startled the echoes aroused Mr. S. , who rushed down fitnirs. What was his astonishment nnd dismay to find his bride fainting on the floor , and a strange gentleman , attended by a uniformed policeman , standing over her. " 'Sir ' said the 'this , stranger , woman is my slave. Her name is Moli da Ciit-s , I am K Louisiana planter ; here is the bill of sale. 1 bought tier a few month ; before she escaped from my homo , and 1 have been on her track over since , and now she must return with mo. ' "Tho distress of the unfortunate couple drew about them at once a largo con course of their friends , who were as much at a loss what to advise in the mids of these strange revelations as were the two most deeply concerned. The hus band , after the first paroxyism of hi ! grief and mortification , vowed otcrua hdelity to his wife , bond or free , ant with the assistance of Deacon E. , Hev Mr. Buck and others , it was arrangci that , in order to quiet matters , the Louis iann planter should to indomnilicd fo : the loss of his fdnvc , and a little part ; of friends met together at the Gait lions' where the Louisianiau was paid $700 fo compensation , and returned homo. " THE WOUST TO COME. "And this ends this strange , ovontfu history ? " asked the reporter. "Uy no means. The worst is to como Mr. S. being a man easily influenced Iv his stronger-minded relatives , was si beset by his uncles , his cousins , his si tcrs and his aunts , that ho turned hi yonng bride out of doors. They couli not tolerate oycn n single drop of ncgri blood , however concealed by a fair ex tenor. The poor deserted wife wen heart-broken from place to place in th capacity of a seamstress , and soon gav birth to a son. She managed to supper herself and child and bear up bravol under all her misfortunes until Mr. 5 : married another. This was more thai she could withstand , and , taking to ho bed , she was kindly attended by the Sit ters of Charity ami a few Uaptist sister in Louisville until she died of a brokei heart. " "Did she really have negro blood ii her veins ? " "That is the question. Mr. E. wen south to get a true statement of her his tory , but the reports there were as cor flirting as elsewhere. Li77io Carlton poi aisled with her dying breath that she wa of pure Caucasian blood , a free woma by birth. She related that her mother , I'ortuguoso , on reaching this countri being a dark brunette , formed the al quaintanco of a wealthy planter in Ntv Orleans , who became so infatuated th : he took her to his homo , and to conco : his purpose from his wife , passed tli wonnn oft' as n slave her complextio onablinjr her to pass for n light mnlatti Li-Mo was the offspring of this illicit strategy , and the planter , dying suddenl nnd without disclosing the true chnrncti of his mistress , who also died soon afte Li/zie , quite a child , descended to tli heirs with the other 'property.1 The c tate was left involved andLi/.zio was sol on the block to the 'planter who aftoi ward pursued her to Louisville.
