A BIT OP SOUTHERN ROMANCE.
Why the Negro Who Whistled to the
Passengers and the Tall Gentleman
Embraced.
From the New York Tribune.
A midsummer stroll about New York
tnay lead one into strange places. Thus it
may take one across one of the numerous
ferries that carry the weary New Yorkors
to the hills of New Jersey and to tho beer
gardens and big breweries where the Ger
mans are numerous. It may send one down
the Bay on one of the hundred excursions
out to sea or up the Sound, to Long Branch,
to Coney Island or up along tho Hudson.
Alladin with his wonderful lamp could not
conjure up more places of recreation or
more variety of amusements than are
spread before New Yorkers at this season of
the year.
Wherever one strolls there is novelty, and
open ears and a retentive memory will catch
up floating bits of gossip and news any
where and everywhere.
It was this fact that impressed the stroller
as he sat on the dock of n Long Branch boat
on Saturday. The lonesome-looking and
lugubrious Italian musicians had just com
pleted their finest symphony, collected tho
nickels and dimes of admiring listeners or
of persons glad to be rid of their dolefully
manipulated violins, and had gone down
stairs to drink 1 shore opening anew musical
programme in another part of the boat. A
fat and greasy, smiling-faced black man
was puckering his lips for a mockingbird
whistle, with a view of capturing what few
pennies the Italians had failed to charm out
of the pockets of the passengers, when he
was touched on tho arm by a tall and hand
some athletic man of perhaps 40, a typical
Southern gentleman. In an instant they
had embraced—this greasy black man and
this elegant gentleman.
We all guessed it at once—that is. we
thought we did. It must be, it could be
nothing else than an old master and an old
slave episode.
Well, it wasn’t. Out of that meeting the
Stroller heard tho queerest bit of Southern
romance.
“Where is your mistress?” was the first
question the negro was asked by tho gentle
man, when they had come away from the
crowded deck and had got into a corner
near the Stroller.
“Foah de Lawd, Mas’r George, I doan
no,” was the colored man’s reply. “De ole
gemman dun bounce me, when he fin’ out
’L mt you and Miss Emly. f Lawd, but I’se
gkd to see you. I’se been mighty neah
start once or twice - ”
Then they talked low and long. It came
about presently that I had an opportunity
to offer the Southerner a light for his cigar.
Shortly I offered him a cigar. Presently
wo were exchanging commonplaces that
ripened into an interchange of opinion on
various topics. At last I mentioned the
strangeness of his meeting with the negro.
I got the whole story. It would make the
basis for an American novel.
There died in Virginia some time ago the
head of an old family of that State whose
wealth footed up $7,000,000 or $8,000,000.
Not a little of it was invested in New - York
realty. By will the bulk of this property
was left to a single heir, with bequests of
$20,000 each to other heirs. There was talk
of a contest of tho will. The prudent
legatee made compromises. In the case
most pertinent to this story he agreed with
n son-in-law of the dead man that ho should
receive £lOO,OOO for himsolf and £150,000 for
each of his two daughters on the day they
should become 21 years of age and sign a
release.
One of tho other heirs refused to com
promise, brought suit against property in
New York and recovered some 97 0,000. The
son-in-law who had made a compromise lias
been in mortal dread lest the two daughters
whose fortunes he holds in his hands should
niaiVy before reaching 21 <uid through their
husbands should become induced to sue for
a larger shure of tho fortune than bail been
arranged under the compromise. They are
beautiful Southern "'iris, 19 and 20 years of
age, He is a widower. Lately he has
devoted his entire time to their service,
going about the country with them and
zealously warding off suitors. He never
remains long anywhere. Tho moment an
acquaintance ripens between either one of
them and a gentleman who becomes at all
assidious in bis attentions, tho father quietly
announces tlieir departure for some other
place. His argument to his friends is that if
either of the girls should be induced to bring a
suit after marriage, she Would risk being
compelled to accept the #20,000 awarded her
under the will, even though her cousin was
lucky enough to secure three-quarters of a
million. The #400,000 that he is sure of
under the compromise he thinks ample for
them and for himself. They know nothing
of the situation.
The old darkey whistler was a servant of
the family. The gentleman ojt the boat had
been a suiter of one of the girls. His love
had been returned, and the colored man had
been the instrument through whom their
courtship had bi-on carried oh, The father
found it out, discharged the boy anil moved
away so quickly that the lover found him
self cut off from communication with his
mistress. He had come North, he told me,
in the hope of finding her at some of the
watering places.
Queer story, wasn’t it?
Well, the queerest part of it is to come.
Strolling along the I teach below the West
End Hol< 1 that night I came across two fig
ures walking so close to each other that the
blindest observer would have known them
to be lovers. It was my tall friend of the
lioat and a graceful young woman, whose
litue form and elastic step told of tho phy
sical strength for which Southern women
are noted, and at ;he same tint" of mental
exaltation. Trailing along bock on the
sands I noticed the whistling darky. He
was creeping at a small pace but keeping a
wary eye out. He had overheard some of
the confidences tint the young Southerner
hud poured into my ear. So when 1 winked
at him in tho moonlight he grinned till ho
showed every toot h in his head. Then he
laughed with a suppressed guffaw ns ho
said: “Yossir, yessir. Mas’r George dun
fouri’ Miss Emily. J-awd lavas ’em. Yes
sir, vessir. De ole man lie doan no nuflln
’lmut it. Land but I am dun glad, boss. ”
I looked down the beach. The happy
couple were still Rtrolling along in the
moonlight. I like strolls myself and I en
joyed their enjoyment.
If there hasn't been an elopement from
Long Branch since Saturday, there will be.
BISHOP TAYI OB’S DAUGHTER.
She Has Had a Romantic Career Since
She Eloped From Her Mormon
Homo.
Prom the San Francisco Examiner.
Tho romantic career of Annio Taylor, a
daughter of John Taylor, the lately de
ceased President of tho Mormon church,
would fill a volume, and it strikingly iilus
trates the old adage that “truth is stranger
than fiction.” Annie Taylor always uses
her maiden name, though sho has been
thrice married, ami is now a widow appar
ently 40 years of age, but still woll pre
served. She is n dignified looking woman,
and it is easy to s s' that she has known
better days unit has had more luxurious sur
roundings than now attend her. This
'laughter of the “President, Prophet, Seer
•uid iievelator,” as her father was officially
titled, is at present a resident of Sail Fran
cisco, and lives in a small room in an ob
scure lodging houso on Minna street, near
Third.
Blie has for years been at tho marry of
futo, and Inis lived from hand to mouth, tv
die saying is, constantly changing her abode
from Stevenson, Clementina and Minna
street* and vice versa. Auuio Tuylor well
knows what the pangs of poverty ure, a*
she lias for years lived a most precarious ex
istence and always uncomplainingly. It is
said that it is a long rood that hus no turn,
and it is very likely that in her ruse the turn
has come. The deceased Mormon President
was a vory wealthy man, and it is not at all
likely that in his will he has forgotten his
wring yet favorite daughter Annie.
When Annie Taylor was a beautiful
voung woman of some twenty years of age.
the pride of her parents and the adored ob
ject of a young “Saint” who sought her
hand and heart, she fell in love with a Gen
tile, a lawyer, at the time a resident of Salt
Lake. Her love was reciprocated, and in
their stolen interviews they pledged them
selves—as lovers have ever done—to be true
to death.
Asa marriage in the City of Saints was
an impossibility, the young couple deter
mined to elope, and elope they did, fleeing
to California. The elopemont was discov
ed soon after their flight, and a resolute
band of Mormon boys, armed, and on fleet
horses, pursued the infatuated twain, deter
mined to rescue a flower of the church from
the polluted touch of the hated Gentile.
But the hunt was in vain. The gallant
disciple of Blackstone distanced his fierce
pursuers, and thus escaped being served
with an illegal and peremptory habeas cor
pus. The scandal at the time created a
great sensation among the Mormons, as tho
elopement of a Mormon girl with a Gentile
was a rare thing in those days, and it shocked
and grieved the whole community.
Annie’s father being a leading member
of the church, the trusted friend and ad
viser of the then Great Mogul, Brigham
Young, made the elopement all the more
scandalous. When the runaway couple
found themselves safely beyond the bounda
ries of the saintly Zion, they drew a breath
of relief, for, had the lawyer been captured,
he would certainly have been shot to death
instantly by his infuriated pursuers, while
Annie would have been brought back to be
in time the reigning mistress of some
wealthy Mormon’s harom.
But before long the lawyer husband
changed to the legal Lothario, and the cup
and the gambling table did the rest. To
make a long story short, Annie Taylor found
herself all alone in the great city of San
Francisco with only a fow hundred dollars.
She took elegant apartments in a large
lodging-house on Kearny street.
Soon afterward Annie mode the acquaint
ance of a roving Baptist preacher, who, tak
ing advantage of his sacred calling, played
the hypocrite with consummate tact. He
wooed Annio Taylor apd finally won her,
and both were married in this city. The
honeymoon had waned before he dis
played his true colors. He got possession of
what little money his wife hail, and then
commenced a life of debauchery. A divorce
quickly followed, and again the deceived
and betrayed wife found nerself fell alone in
the wicked world.
This time she was compelled to give up her
elegant rooms on- Kearny street and disap
peared mysteriously, seeking seclusion m
some side street or alley, where she thought
she could never meet any one who had
known her history.
While in this seclusion it is known that
she married for the third time, and her
third venture was even more unfortunate
than the two preceding ones. Her husband
proved to be a depraved opium fiend, and
nature at last abhorring his sight extended
her mercies by putting an end to him.
Thus for the third time the “Widow
Annie Taylor,” as some call her, stands
isolated and alone.
Annie has a sister by the same mother in
Salt Lake, whom she idolizes, and to this
sister, and to her only, has she ever com
municated her whereabouts.
It is strange, too, that the sister in Salt
Lake eloped some years ago with a Gentile,
but she was captured, brought back and
afterward married a prominent Mormon.
FORGER HARVEY’S WIFE.
She Returns to tho Home of Her
Mother in West Chester.
A dispatch from West Chester, Pa., to the
New York 'times says: When the 8:05 train
on the Pennsylvania railroad arrived from
Philadelphia last evening at the Market
street station a lady alighted whose face,
though pale and agitated, still bore traces of
the lieauty which made her so famous years
ago when she was numbered among West
Chester’s popular belles. It was Mrs. Fannie
Harvey, the wife of the condemned Wash
ington forger, Oscar J. Harvey, who goes to
the Albany penitentiary next week to serve
out his sentence of twelve years. She was
unattended and her home-coming appeared
to have been unheralded, since no friends
appeared at the station to greet her. anil,
passing by unheeding the numerous calls of
hackmen, she walked through the statiau
and turned into Market street in the direc
tion of the home of her mother, Fedora
Holding. Those who saw and recognized
Mrs. Harvey mentally contrasted this home
coming of hers with the brilliant occasion
seven years ago, when she left West Chester
a proud and blushing bride. Never before
or since were wedding festivities here
conducted upon such a grand scale. A
whole train was chartered to convey the
guests from various points to West Chester
to witness tho wedding ceremonies. Car
riages from every livery stable in town were
kept in continuous motion bearing the
friends of the bridal party from point to
point, while florists, who were given
carte blanche to provide tho choicest
gems for the hothouse and conservatory,
vied with each other in floral decorations
which were the sensation of the hour. All
these enormous expenses were provided for
by Oscar J. Harvey, the groom, whose love
of display, since disclosed in his house deco
rations, was thus early developed. It was
an occasion long to lie remembered by the
citizens of West Chester, who, while in com
mon with others they denounce the action
of Harvey, have much sympathy for the
woman who left her homo here seven years
ago to become his wife.
Mrs. Harvey came from Philadelphia,
whore she has been staying for some time
with Mrs. Charles Langaon, and will remain
with her mother, Mrs. Holding for an in
definite period.
A REMARKABLE IDIOT.
Kept Fastened with Strap and Manacle
for Half a Lifetime.
Providence Dispatch to Philadelphia Call.
One of the most remarkable instance of
idiocy, or lunacy, to lie witnessed in any
! part of the world may lie seen in an old
| farmhouse in the town of Smitbfleld, about
I seven miles from this city. Alnion Smith,
I nearly 40 years of age, is fastened with strap
| and manacle in a small room, is usually
naked and has Ixien kept in this situation
| for many years. This may seem incredible,
I but it isj nevertheless, a fact, and, what
i may seem oqnally incredible, Is that notli
| ing lietter can bo done with the man. He
i has been an idiot from birth, or at least
' from infancy. Jle has no intelligence what
ever. not even that of the lowest state of tho
brute creation, and does not even know lus
mother, who, from babyhood up, has been
his devoted attendant.
The man is well formed, his head is of the
round type and the brain apparently well
developed. Ho does not talk, hut utters
shrieks and cries at intervals, and some
times tears at his head with his hands, ns if
suffering pain. He is kept fastened to a
staple in the floor, not from fear of his do
ing violence to an)' one, to which he has
never shown a disposition, but from appre
hension that, in lii.s utter helplessness, he
might hurt himself. His cries can some
times be heard for a quarter of a mile, but
; as the house stands at some distance from
[ flu' traveled highway tho public are not dis
turbed.
The Btate authorities investigated the case
some time ago, and eamo to the conclusion
that the man was better off where he was
than he would lie in a lunatic asylum. In
I the summer lime ho Is sometimes taken out
and fastened to a tree for fresh air. Tho
ease is especially singular for the reason
that the unfortunata man’s health is ap

HIS INFORMATION BUREAU.
Bill Nye Takes a Man Into His Confi
dence and Educates Him.
Prom the New York World.
I havo received the following note from
another anxious inquirer after truth:
Jersey City, N. J., July 25.
Dear Sir: Would you mind giving a
little space to an explanation of naturaliza
tion as practised in this country, together
with its effects t How would I go to work
to bocome naturalized? What are the first
steps? What would bo the result of natu
ralization here, or in New York city, in
case I afterward concluded to return to
England, where I was born ? What are my
duties toward the United States pending
my naturalization, and what are the duties
of tho United States toward mo during the
same time? What were the peculiar doc
trines of the Druids? Which is proper to
say, “sweat” or “perspire?” What is the
most past or perfect tense of sweat? Would
you advise a young man, 47 years of age,
to begin the study of fifteen-ball-pool?
What is tho peculiarity of classical music,
and how can one distinguish it? What do
you think of my handwriting?
TRUTH SEEKER.
Naturalization, according to Theodore D.
Woolsey, who has practiced it for years,
takes place when an alien transfers liis
allegiance from the country of his origin
and the sovereign of the same to another
country and sovereign. Your best method
for becoming naturalized in the State of
New Jersey would be to write to her most
gracious majesty, Queen of Great Britain,
Empress of India, general assistant parent
to his royai baldness tho Prince of Wales,
and lending regina of tho known world,
asking her to return your letters and hence
forth to regard you only as a friend.
Naturalization may be partial or com
plete, and may be detected by any one who
is a close observer. Naturalization is most
likely to attack those who have formerly
been aliens, and “allowed it to get tho upper
hand of them.” Under the constitution of
the United States uo naturalized cit izen can
be President, and a great many who have
not had uny difficulty of that kind find that
this industry is overcrowded. So, if you
come to this country with a burning desire
to obtain employment as President, you had
better give it up. We never elect a man
who has been an alien, and who is liable to
have it break out on him again whenever
the sun gets very hot. We have made it a
rule for years, if possible, to elect a thick
set, self-made American citizen to the Pres
idency, and then we feel froe to go and
board with him, and make suggestions to
him, and tread frosted cake into his body
Brussels carpet.
There are several steps that you might
take in order to get naturalized in this coun
try. Your maiden step, however, would l>e
to get born on a foreign strand. You could
then begin active preparations for becoming
naturalized, such, for instance, as crossing
the ocean, and while leaning over the piazza
of the ship and peering down into the soft,
green waves divesting yourself of your po
litical disabilities.
You could hurry up your naturalization
here by enlisting in the army. You can. if
21 years of age, join the army. You would
like it, too, I think. It would also be
pleasanter for the army. Nothing lonelier
can be conceived of than the picture of an
army with no one to talk to. So, if you
could be contented to unite with our army,
I think it would be a good thing for both or
you.
If you came out of the war unscathed,
you could be made an American citizen
without further trouble, and if you became
killed while noting ns the left wing of the
regular army, your eternal welfare would
be enhanced as soon as it was generally un
derstood that you came from America.
You do not state in your letter whether
you are white or colored. You simply say
that you are un Englishman. In writing to
a newspaper you ought to be explicit and
state your case fully. If. you are a white
man from England, you may be naturalized
by denouncing your own sovereign in un
measured terms and naming your first
daughter Francos. Your health would then
lx’ good and your vote would be counted. If
you are a colored Englishman, we would
reserve the right to inquire who you voted
for lief ore counting your vote.
Y"iir duty towards the United States,
pending your naturalization, would lie to
write home us often as possible, referring to
the great blessings of American freedom
and showing the poor, oppressed foreigner
how much (inickor and easier he can get his
oppressing done here than elsewhere.
The duty of the United States towards
you in the meantime is to protect you from
foreign invasion anil throw our navy around
you so that you may go to bed every night
without fear of invasion, for no foreign
power would so far forget what is due to
the age l or helpless as to attack our navy.
So you would be always safe, and if you
took plenty of exercise and did not get your
feci wet while being naturalized you would
make n good citizen hud enjoy good health.
The duty of the United States towards an
unnaturalized citizen is quite plain, but not
irksome. The United States, as a republic,
never allows its obligations toward the off
spring of a monarchy to prey on it. So,
if you wish to come forward and repent and
be naturalized, you will always find the
United States ready to treat you white.
I do not know much about the Druids.
Our folks were mostl)’ Whigs anil Episco
palians. The Druids, as near as I can learn,
were a kind of Ojx-n-air sect, who worshiped
a sylvan god, ate watermelons during dog
days and regretted it till the ground froze
up. They were the first religious organiza
tion to introduce the custom of borrowing
money in this world with the understanding
that it was to bo |>aid in the next. Prior to
that the custom "Of drawing promissory
notes and making them payable sixty days
after death had never obtained. It was a
good deal more fun to be a Druid than it
was ! o run a general storo where tho Druids
did t heir trading.
If you are a poor man, sweat is good
enough for you. If you keep help in the
bouse, lot tlieni do tho sweating and von can
perspire if you feel like It. The present of
tho verb sweat is sweat; past, sweat or swat.
The future tense will, in a measure, depend
on the kind of life you lead here.
If you are 47 years of age do not try to
plav fifteen-ball pool, unless your money is
making you its slave. I have only played
two games of pool in' my life anil both
times 1 got the No. H ball and, when it came
my turn to play, other hands hail gathered
the ixirsimmons. Once it was a saw-off,
and I bad t he p'casiiro of c iting the leather
tip off the end of my cue while tho others
played, and then I contributed 81 75 to
wards the enjoyment of parties who repaid
my liberality with the coarsest and most
brutal laughter. I have paid out between
8” and 84 for games thus far which I did
not play. You can se ■ that a man 47 years
of age, who went in with a firm determina
tion to learn the game of )h 01, under such
circumstances, would have to ho free from
any organic or inherited disease in order to
become skilful on this side of the grave.
Very few men who Ix-gin at the age of 47
ever get so they can play fifteen-ball pool
with any expression or chic.
The peculiar characteristic of classictl
music is t hat it is really so much bettor than
it sounds.
Ido not care to criticise your handwrit
ing through the paper. If you will meet
me at the foot of Put No. 1, at 7 o’clock
this evening, I will toll you what I think of
It, after which I will take a steamship for
Coney Island, where I will lie swallowed up
in the throng. Lot mo hear from you often.
