Charles the Eleventh's Extraor
dinary Vision.
Cham.es XL, father of tho celebrated
Clmrlcs XII., was ono of tho wisest
kings who sat on tho throno of Swe
den. Ho put n check on tho many
privileges usurped by tho nobles, dim
inished tho power of tho seimto, tin l
promulgated on his own authority
soverul important Iuwb; in n word, ho
nltcrcd tho form of government, which
until now had been oligarchical, and
forced tho State to acknowledge him
us absolute ruler. Tho Luthoian reli
gion found in this monarch a sinccro
adherent. Ho was bravo and onlitrli-
teucd, but cold and precise in charac
ter, holding tho imaginntivo powers
under constant check and control.
The death of his wifo, Ulrica Eleanor,
whom ho treated harshly during her
lifetime, made, however, a greater im-
pressiou than could nave been sup
posed on so rough and demonstrative
1 a nature.
I Becoming more .and moro morose
I after this event, Charles XI. gave hiui
I self up wholly to tho mauagomont and
affairs of his kingdom, thus betraying
a mind ill ut case, which sought dis
traction from its depressing thoughts
in tho toil aud cares of government.
Ono autumn availing lie sat, in Com
pany with Count Bluho nud Dr. Buum
gurten, opposite a bright file, his head
resting on his breast and his eyes fixed
on the grate, in profound silence.
Tho Count Brabe, finding thnt his
presence was unheeded by tho King,
tried to make some excuse for with-
drawing from tho apartment, and sug-
gested that his Majesty stood in nwd
of repose; but a sign from the latter
held Wto his seat. The doctor iu

of late hours upon tho health. Tho
King then rophed, in a suppressed
tono, "I lmvo no wish to sleep at pres
ent." Thoy attempted various sub
jects of conversation, but after a sen
teuco or two their efforts fell to tho
ground. His Majesty wns passing
through a phuso of profound melan
choly, which rendered tho position of
tho two courtiers somewhat delicate.
Ono of them, looking toward the por
trait of tho late Queen, said, with a
deep sigh: "How striking is tho re
semblance ! what a sweet and dignified
oxprossion." Tho King, who seemed
to consider every allusion to tho Queen
as a personal reproach, replied that
tho urtist had flatterod her, and using

up uml down tho room to calm tho
ugitation of his feelings. Ho stood for
a moment nt a window that looked
upon tho courtyard; tho night was
very dark.
Tho placo inhabited by the present
Kings of Sweden was then in an unfin
ished state, and Charles XL, who had
i commenced its construction, occupied
tho old palace, which lay open lo tho
sea. Tho King's private cabinet was
j situated at ono of tho oxtremitios of the
building, a most facing tho largo hall
whore tho States met. Tho windows
of this saloon appeared on a sudden to
bo brilliantly illuminated, a phenome-
noil which excitud the irreiitest nston-
various conjectures US to the Ctttlse,

Count; "go no further; yon know not
to what danger you may bo exposing
yourself."
"At all oveuts," added Baumgarton,
whoso light had boon extinguished by i
a gust of wind, "wait until I call i

Interesting Story of the War.
Truth Slrmii;rr llinu Fiction.
There is now living in this
family, the history of which
something so romantic ns to
city a
forms j
consti-1
tuto a most interesting story:
In the summer of 1859, Charles Go
roux becaino a graduato of a college
in tho southern part of this Stato.
Ho was tho descendant of an aristo
cratic family who lived in Louisiana,
and to bo brief, he was thou a lull em
bodiment of tho "chivalry," just hav-1
ingontered ins majority: Winlo at-
tending collogo ho h id formed tho ac-
quaintanco of Clara G , who at-
tended a college for you 112 ladies in
this city, which acquainlnnco ripened
into attachment and lovo, and, just be
fore tho breaking out of tho rebellion,
thoy wero married, and removed
South. Miss G
,,ntu, ' possessed
was an or
of a considorablo
proporty, which was held in trust by
her uncle, a Southern minister, who
had raised her from infancy, and per
sonally superintended hor education.
In addition to tho endowments of a
collcgiato education sho was possessed
of a strong character, bordering on
tho masculine, but tempered with a
sweotnoss and mildness not often com
bined in tho same person. Sho was
at once handsome and womanly.
Within a year aftor their marriage
and Kottlomont in tho South, camo tho
tierce, wild blasts of war from Sum
ter's parapet, and thoro was nono
moro ready to tho deadly fray than
Oharlos Goroux. His political tutors
wore practical secessionists, and ho
entered upon tho war with a forvor
and zeal to command the admiration
of his friend, and which secured to
and while her husband was nt homo

tho neighbors respected her. Geroux
invested nil his rendy property, which i
included his wife's properly, in con

VrnviiiL' nt
boiler of tho Sultana exploded, and
twelvo hundred lives were lost.
Geroux fared ill at case in Camp
Douglas, aud made many stratagems
to etcane. He finally succeeded in
bribing n raw sentinel to let him pass.
and to avoid pursuit, a resort to de
ception became necessary. A com
rado of his was on the point of death.
His mess dressed the dead soldier in
tho Major's uniform aud conveyed
him to tho dead house, and gavo his i
name as Major Ohns. Geroux, 3d Lou
isiana Bogimont, C. S. A. Tho next
, morning tho body was taken
awav
las dead, by u. A. Jordan, the un
dertaker for tho Government at Chi
cago. Thnt night Geroux escaped
His absence created no inoniry, as he
was reported dead. For the purpose1'3 , . 0 UI1 of paradise; while
of avoiding public roads and convey
ances, ho took a horse from a pasture
near Camp Douglas, belonuintr to J.
;L. Hancock, formerly President of the
Board of J rado of Chicago, and by
avoiding public roads as much ns pos"
sib.e. reached Momence tho next dnv.
His actions oxcited suspicion, and ho
was arrested on suspicion of having
stolen tho horse, and was lodged in
the Kankakco jail. ITo was tuiron out
..
on a writ oi naueas eornns. am no
proof being found to hold him, ho was
discharged
Comiii'' theuco to this city ho ob
tained a situation in a wholesale gro
cery storo.
After tho usual delays in pnssinS
letters through tho line's, ho lenrnod
that his two brothers wero killed in
the battle of the Wilderness, that hi
father's estate had been confiscated to
the United States Go eminent, and
his father had voluutaiilv exiled him
self to Mexico. Of his wifo and hild,

shalled his grand army before Peters

the past summer Geroux returned to
tho South, and was fully confirmed in
the information ho had received about
his family, and that his real estato had
also been confiscated. Ho gavo his
wifo and child up as lost, and returned
to Cincinnati.
After his wifo aud child had re
mained in Memphis nnd escaped tho
disaster of tho Sultana, sho started
for Chicago, aud reached Camp Doug

Tho samo grave this day is neatly
sodded over, and at ila head grows a

Broken hearted and brokon down

purposes. The broom corn requires a
ricn, warm sou, similar to that ro
quired by Indian corn. It is not
considered a very strong exhauster,
and is gonerally regarded as a Buro
crop, being but little liable to injuries
from the cut worm or any other insec
tivorous depredator. It is generally
cultivated in drills, tho manuring being
either broadcast or in drills as circum
stnnces render most convenient.
The brush ordinarily defray all ex
penses, and leaves the grain which
often amounts to 30 bushels per aero
a clear gain to tho cultivator.
Whero there is a market for tho brush,
broom corn can scarcely be other than
a very profitable crop. It is said to
leave the soil in excellent order.
Hoxito.n. There is a little English
market town in tho county of Devon,
situated on the banks of the Otter.
It has about 3500 inhabitants, and is
a very favorable specimen of tho bet
ter towns of England, and its name is
famous throughout the fashionable
world in connection with tho laco
which is there made. Burrilt in his
last volume, pleasantly describes tho
surroundings and process of this man
ufacture. Ho was taken to a small
cottage on a back street, whero throo
women wero at work on a coment
floor. Two of them wero sisters be
tween sixty and seventy years of ago,
who had wrought on Iho wedding
dresses of threo generations of queens,
Adelaide, Victoria and Alice. Tho
third was a neighbor who had dropped
in with her work, and was plying her
needle with her bonnet on. The
work required the nicest judgmont
and great skill with the fingers. It is
wrought on round plump cushions,
and as tho ligure progresses, it is cov
ered with oiled silk, so that a very nar
row strip is oxposed ot once to tho
dust or touch of tho hand. By such
precautions, the luce is delivered at
tho salesroom as pure and unsullied
