. Gen. Grant has been visiting his
Missouri homestead, which is abo1t
five miles out of St. Louis. 1t was the
home of the Dent family, and it was
there that Lieut.. Grant, when on duty
at Jefferson barracks, not many miles
distant, wooed and v on Julia B. Deaf,
who has made him such devoted
wife. After he resigned his commits
sion old Mr.. Dent gave the young
couple eighty acres of timber land, and
the future general and President used
to chop wood, pile it up in cords and
haul it to st. Louis, where he would
drive about the streets until he could
find a customer. He found it hard,
however, to make both ends meet, and
endeavored in 1865 TO get appointed

Obituary.

Died, in this city, on the tenth in
slant, Mrs. LIZZIE G. Nancy, wife of
T. S. Mickey, Esq.
The relatives and friends of this esti-
mable lady surely sit beneath the shad-
ow of great calamity. Possessing
all the graces of heart which rendered
home type of hea7en-genial and
gentle, gracious and kind = her loss
creates an aching void which cannot
be filed, and to which the ''vacant
chair" in the stricken household must
always be mute though lasting memo
rial. Though 4 resident of Austin but
a few months, her influence was known
and felt, aAd her loveliness, too, as
was significantly attested by the kind
and tender ministrations around her
bed of suffering and death. She was
no stranger here, for that touch of ma
ture, the badge of kindness, which
puts us in sympathy with our kind,
was hers, and the truest men and no.
blest women responded, in obedience
to the best impulses of the heart, to
mitigate her sufferings while living and
honor her memory when dead. Absent
friends may rest assured that all that
science could achieve or that love
could suggest was brought under con-
tribution to effect her cure. But God
knows best. Aud while We mourn we
should not murmur, for
