She was taken in and cared for by
the Sisters of Charity until she could
hear from friends in Ohio, from whom
she had received no intelligence for tho
past four years. A letter was received
stating that Immediately after the war
her uncle had died, and that soon after,
lis widow had removed to Iroquois
County, Illinois, to live with her mar
ried son. Mrs. Geroux was supplied
with money to enable her to find her
friends in 1roquois County, where she
has since resided.
Geroux returned to his situation at
Cincinnati, and was sent by his firm to
collect u debt due in Iroquois County.
While there, he sought out the attor-
ney who had him discharged on the
habeas corpus to learn the whereabouts
of the horse that did such good service,
and to secure his assistance in collect
ing,his debt. lie soon made himself
known, and while they were discussing
about the stolen horse, a lady and child
entered the same office. There was q
,nomcntary pause, and husband and
wife were in each others arms. We
shall not attempt to describe the scene
which followed. The husband found II
wife and child whom he firmly believed
to be dead, and the wife found q
husband over whose grave sho had
shed bitter tears Of woe.
Mrs. Geroux was visiting the same
attorney to find out about her hus.

An Interesting Story Of
the War-Facts Stran-
ger than Fiction.

There are now living in Cincinnati
a family, the history Of which forms
something so romantic as to constitute
most interesting story:
In the Summer Of 1859, Charles
Geroux became graduate Of a college
in the Southern part of this State. lie
was the descendant of an aristocratic
family who lived in Louisiana, and, to
be brief, he was then full embodiment
of the ''chivalry," just having entered
his majority. While attending college,
he had formed the acquaintance OF
Clara G who attended college
for young ladies in this city, which &C:
>quaintance ripened into attachment and
love, and, just before the breaking out
of the rebellion, they were married, and
removed South. Miss c. was an
orphan, possessed Of considerable
property, which was held in trust By
her uncle, Southern minister who had
raised her from infancy, and person
sally superintended her education. In
addition to the end6wments of a collie
.giate education, she was possessed of q
>strong character, bordering almost on
the masculine, but tempered with a
sweetness and mildness not often COM
.bined in the same person. She was at
once handsome and womanly.
Within year after their marriage
and settlement in the South, came the
fierce, wild blast Of war from Sumter's
parapet, and there was none moro
ready to enter the deadly fray than
Charles Geroux. His political tutors
were practical secessionists, and he en-
tered upon tho war with fervor and
zeal to command the aSlmiration Of his
friends, and which secured him ma

Masonry.

It numbers to-day within its secret
pale more adult males than all the re-
ligious organizations on the face of the
earth. It is as widespread as human
ity, as universal as human language.
The Jew, before the alter, on the sacred
mount-the Perse, in his alteration OF
the sun-the Musselman bowing to the
east in prayer-the Greek, before the
shrine Of his divinity-the Christian,
in devout faith at the foot Of the cross,
all alike know and understand its mys-
tic language. Kings, princes and po-
tentates Of the earth have beheld with
awe its hieroglyphic light, and have
been proud to wear its mystic emblems.
It is more powerful than kingdoms,
