REUNITED AFTER FORTY YEARS
A Sort OF Enoch Arden Story With q
Happy Ending.

"A SOEC OF EnOCn STORY with D
Happy Ending.
st. Louis Republic: A remarkable case of
separation of husband and wife, and their
coming together again after fully forty years,
came to light yesterday in the southern part
of the city. The couple are now in the city
alive and we'll. although each believed the
other dead for many years. The history of
the case runs as follows: In l847 Theodore
Flotow and his wife left Bavaria to seek
their fortune in this country. They were
then q young couple, and felt confident Of
achieving success in the United States
They landed at New Orleans. and Flotow,
being a blacksmith by trade, opened a shop
at once and went to work with energy to
support his wife and young daughter. Afte,
two years Flotow found himself penniless
with no prospect Of improving his condition.
The California gold fever was raging about
this time, and In q fit of desperation he con.
the plains to the land Of promise in search
OF better luck and prosperity. He did not
tell his wife. expecting, it ia said, to call
g out there a. soon as he found himself
we'll situated. He experienced some hard
ticks, aud it was a long time before ne could
make more than a bare living for himself.
In the meantime his wife, who had waited
for months and months, concluded that he
was dead, and left New Orleans. She went
to several places, working for the support OF
herself and child, and in q few years me-
and married q German named Lohenhofer
They came to this city in 1853 and livei
happily together until q few years ago, wher
Lohenhofer died, leaving his wife and family
in moderate circumstances Since then the
widow Lohenhofer has been living on the
southeast corner of Third and Victor streets.
Her daughter by her irst husband also mar.
ried, n she, too, is a widow, residing on
Linn street in this city.
A short time ago Mrs Lohenhofer learned
through q German minister living at MUIR
physboro that FIotow, her first husband, wa
still alive and in good circumstances, SO fal
as the worlds goods were. concerned. Mrs
L~ohenhofer was greatly surprised at the in.
formation, but concluded to meet her hus-
band without delay. A correspondence wal
begun. and q few days ago Flotow came here
from California. He is seventy-two years OF
age and Mrs L%ohenhofer sixty. and to say
that the meeting between the old couple
was touching would be drawing it mildly.
1t was extremely pathetic.
Flotow had q strange story to relate. He,
too, had married again, thinking that his
first wife WIS dead. He said that when he
got to California, after many trials and set
Fbacks, he tried to find her, but In vain. After
waiting a few years, and thinking, that she
was dead, he married again, but his wife
lived only q few years, and he embarked no
more IN the matrimonial business He ia
well situated, and is now stopping with his
daughter by his first marriage, ON Linn

From the New York Tribune.
The clergy cannot always insist on
the use of ecclesiastical nomenclat-
ure. Not long ago a clergyman was
asked to visit a rough old fellow who
was dying. "Do you realize that
you have committed many sins?"
asked the clergyman. "Dunno bout
committin' SINS" was the reply,
"but am poorly blamed sure that !
have made a great many bad breaks
in my life" As u "bad break" was
evidently his equivalent for q sin,
the clergyman accepted the acknowl-
edgement and passed ON to the ques-
ton: care yon sincerely penitent?"
"Dunno bout that, either, Mr.. Min
~ister," was the reply, "but l know
that l have been an e%verlastin'
chump, and amt no good to no.
body, not even to the Lord, and Pm
mighty sorry for it," The language
of this confession was rude and crude
enough, but the clergyman accepted
it as the honest expression of a hui
man soul, and the poor old fellow
was reconciled to the church before
he died.

he became SO expert at the business
that he managed the construction oil
