with the emperor. The father and mother
were ordered deported to France and were
at once placed on board vessel bound for
Hsvre. The husband afterward died in
the City Of Mexico In July. 1872. Prince
Augusfin. who was adopted By Maxinil-
ian IS heir 70 the throne, returned to the
United States after the death OF his father,
and was known as a "high-roIIer" among
the fast society young men at the national
capitol.
Two of the Greene sisters still reside at
the old Greene homestead. on Georgetown
Heights, which is known as Rosedaie.
This Is the estate from which Grover
Cleveland, while president, purchased the
property called Redtop for 80, 900 and sold
II year later for $4,000. One of these
sisters is Mrs. Deyereux; the other is
still unmarried. Like that Of Mrs. Itur-
bide, the history Of Nine. Dcvereux is
romantic one, The most exciting event Of
her career was her arrest for giving assist
ance unwittingly to Wilkes Booth in his
fight after the assassination of President
Lincoln, and for time her friends enter
tanned fears lest she should share the
awful fate OF Mrs. surratt. The lady was
the wife Of a Confederate officer. and lived
during the war on a Virginia plantation on
the banks Of The Potomac. ~ the time Of
the presidents assassination her husband
and son were both absent in the Southern
army. The mails were irregular and a day
or two after the great tragedy she had
heard nothing Of it. when a strangely act
ing young man, evidently greatly fatigued,
rode up 10 the plantation house
and asked for bandages and liniment for a
friend who had been injured. They were
furnished him and then, catching sight of
fine thoroughbred horse that was grazing
not far away, the stranger sought TO buy
il. Although he told Mrs. Devereux
to name her own price she refused TO sell
the horse, as it belonged to her son. Fail
ing in his attempted purchase, the horse
man rode away on his iaded steed. The
man was Wilkes Booth, the assassin.
Ignorant of whom she had entertained
Mrs. Devereux told the incident to neigh
bors. A few Gays later gunboat steamed
down the river and tied up at the planta-
ton. An officer came ashore and arrested
the astounded woman for giving assistance
to Booth. She was taken TO Washington
City and, although not imprisoned, was
kept under close guard for three weeks.
At the end of that time the authorities,
after great exertions on the part of the
friends of Mrs. Devereux, were con-
WINGED of her innocence of intentional
wrongdoing and she was released.
Mrs. Devereux is well known in Wash
ington City and is president of the society
known as the Daughters of the Revolu-
ton, all members OF which must trace
their descent from patriots who took an
active part in the struggle for freedom.

History aud Its Lesson.
WINoNA, Stark Co., Ind, Dec. %, 1891.
During the winter of 1891 and my family
of six were taken with the la Grippe. The
disease was very prevalent ut that time In the
village where ] resided, nearly every one
being sick with IT, Our doctors treated as
best they could but were very unsuccessful in
the treatment of IT, As soon rs my family
were taken sick went TO the drug store and
bought six bottles Of Pe-ru.na, aud we all
took II according to the directions given or
the bottle and although our cases seemed to
be more than usually violent In the outset,
yet our recovery was prompt, and We were
all well much sooner than those who were
treated by the regular physician. In the
beginning oil the attack we all had violent
cough, bleeding at the nose and splitting Of
blood, but the Pe-ru-na promptly relieved
us, and we took no other medicine during
our sickness Many people died Of the La
Grippe during this epidemic, and few, ifany,
were sick so short time as myself and
family. after we were all sound and well
again we still had one bottle of Pc.ru.na left
in the house.
can cheerfully recommend the Pe-ru-na
as cure for the Ia Grippe and general
family medicine shall not be without Pc
ru-na in my house again unless | am alb

save money by rcsorting to Pe.ru-na, but bis
