Hoe Mr. Deioach .SdreG General
Grants Life.

1t has been stated that Mr.. Deloach was
appointed Postmaster at Memphis by the
President because he had saved his life on
one occasion Mr. Dcloach gai e this ac
count of the incident to the Memphis Post i.
Soon after Memphis was captured, Gen
cral Grant commenced eXtendinghis lines
in this direction. Sherman and llurlburt
advanced from Corinth, and reached Mos
COW and Lafayette. Our scouts were tra-
versing that country, and il was regarded
a virtually in Federal occupation. Gen.
Grant was eager TO reach Memphis, and
started without strong escort to ride to-
ward the city. He reached Mr.. DelOach's
house near noon on hot day in June, ac-
companied by fourteen staff officers and
orderlies. Mr. Deloach was known,
through the scouts, to be n reliable Union
man, and General Grant greeted him
warmly, and, having dismounted, asked
for water. This was brought, and Mr.
Deloach offered the General North
ern paper which he had just received. He
sat eagerly reading, when neighbor,
known as violent rebel, came in and took
n seat. In few minutes colored boy
entered, looking much perturbed and a
larmcd. He beckoned to Mrs. Deloach,
and whispered to her that Jackson's rebel
cavalry had encamped just back of Mr..
Deloach's plantation the night previous,
and were then breaking up and preparing
TO move. Mrs. Deloach communicated
this, in great alarm, but in strict secrcsy,
TO her husband for their rebel neighbor
was watching, as they supposed, and
would denounce them il he observed any
indication OF friendliness TO the Union
General. Mr.. Deloach at once returned
to the room, much excited, rs he says, but
he is informed by the President that nc
caught wink and q nod of the head to-
ward the road leading to Memphis. Gen.
Grant Immediately arose, and said quiet
", that they had long ride before them,
and must decline Mrs. Deloach's invita-
ton to dinner. Mr.. Deloach followed them
to the gate, and informed the General of
his danger, suggesting that their safety
would depend upon the speed of their
horses. They left at full gallop, and when
they had rode about two miles they caught
sight of squad of men coming down a
cross road, and were unable to decide to
which side they belonged General Grant

UOM4N'S BEAUTY.

There is a great deal said about our
beauty, great deal done to make us
beautiful. How? In spirit2 Not at all.
To be physically beautiful is our aim. For
this we don the costly bonnet, the dainty
boot. friz our hair paint our faces. To
this end we devote our lives, sacrifice
our health mind, heart and strength.
From the cradle we are taught that we
must he be beautiful. We are shut up in
the house, away from the glad sunlight
and pure air, to protect our tar complex
ions: dressed in corsets and crinoline to
improve our forms gathered and thinly
hosed in the dead of winter, that our feet
NAV be petIe and attractive. Our brothers
run, laugh loud, whistle, get tanned,
wear stout boots and warm clothcs-but
we don't-it isn't ''ladylike." They grow
strong in the gymnasium or at the wood
pile. while we crochet, practice the last
song. behave with propriety, and some
times make cake" They go to college,
grow Independent, 60 out into the world,
make their mark, while we, who are at
tractive, get married, and we, who are
not. teach school, make dresses, and fade
out. Some of us live i'll the country. In
that case, we milk COWS, make butter and
cheese, help send our brothers to school,
learn how to cook, and get husband.
Sometimes we are ambitious to acquire
strength of mind to study and investigate
for ourselves. Twenty-three OF us re-
auested admittance to Wabash College,
Ind. but were refused because we were
women. At Oberlin they have "Gentle'
mans Course and Ladies' Course
because We have nothing to do in life but
get married, while our brothers you know,
must be lawyers, doctors, ministers, &c.
Two or three of us make speeches, but
our brothers and the church members
say that we unsex ourselves, that we are
irving to be men, that we are blasphem
ing God for making us women.
The majority of men admire us for our
physical beauty alone, and then wondeI
why we aim at nothing else.

Electricity has Nothing to do

From much and varied observation and
experiments in reference to the perform
ances Of Planchette, and Of kindred phc-

sometimes been identified with what, for
the want of better term has been called

properties of the magne. or ofmagnetism

It is remarkable that the assertion or hy-
pothesis that electricity or magnetism is
concerned in the production of the phe-
nomena in question has never yet had an
origin in any high scientific authority
This is accounted for by the fact that
those who are properly acquainted with
this agency, and who have the proper ap-
paratus at their command, can demon
slrate the truth or falsity Of such hy-
pothesis with the greatest ease. For an
experiment, place your Planchette upon
