SCHOFIELD-KILBOURNE.

Celebration ot Their Nuptials at the Home of tho i’rliie. Gen. John M. Schofield, commander-in-chief of the United Statas army, has capitulated. His marriage to Miss Georgia Kilbourne, of Keokuk, lowa, was solemnized at the bride’s home,and scores of the gallant soldier’s friends were present at the ceremony. The bride, Miss Georgia Kilbourne, is a beautiful young woman, about 26 years old,whose father is one of the wealthiest and best known men in lowa. Her

grandfather was David Kilbourne, a capitalist and contractor, who moved from New York to the State west of the Mississippi almost in its infancy. He projected many of its first railroads and public improvements, His son, George Kilbourne, married a daughter of Prof. Wells, who for many years conducted the military school for boys at Peekskill. Miss Kilbourne is well educated, Is possessed of a comfortable fortune in her own right and will have more from her mother. She has traveled extensively and is an accomplished and wellpoised young woman who will be a brilliant accession to the social corps of the

army. She is especially winsome in conversation, inheriting from both her parents uncommon gifts of wit, versatility and fluency. She has a petite figure, symmetrical and graceful, and understands perfectly the art of dressing becomingly. General Schofield is 6J years of age. Love and Lucra. The Instances are very rare in which two strong wills can harmonize in close companionship. A woman possessing the e’ements of womanhood cannot be happy with a man who has not a sound character. A bbilliajct match, in the eyes of the world, atones for low morals, uncongenial tastes, and lukewarm hearts. It Is hard to examine character, and profit by the study, after the heart has become the seat of an absorbing passion.

GEN. JOHN M. SCHOFIELD.

MISS GEORGIA N. KILBOURNE.
