Mot NT McGiiKGOli , July 2 . The fatigue
which followed Gen. Grant's rldo yesterday
wan BO great tlmt lie slept eight hours of Al
most natural sleep during tha night , lie
nrotucd at eight this morning , hut is dozing
through the nftcrUoon. The jiulso this morn
ing w a inoro frequent and somewhat weaker
then Inat night ,
In the ovrning the general's condition became -
came alntmlngand it wnaforn time thought
death was near , Bulletins woio lasued M fol
lows :
7.15 p. m. General Grant seems sinking.
0 p. m. GonoralGrant is sitting In the cot
tage parlor. His family and obysician arc
noir and a nurao is fanning liiin.
10 p. m. Ur. Douglas thinks there is a
flight rally nnd says ho has known patients in
the general' * present condition to survive two
dnyj.
11 p. m No change at thocottnga from lust
bulletin.
11:30 p. m , General Grant has juit told
his family that then ; is no necessity for their
Bitting up any longer to-night. There ecetns
to have boui a eecond rally.
1 n. m. Dr. Douglaa states that since his
rally Gen. Grant has received a hypodermic
injection of brandy. This has brightened him ,
HIB pulse is new quite regular and shows
some firmness. Ho Is awnko and perfectly
conscious. The rally , however , was madu
without any stimulants. Indeed , the general
refused It when offered. An eflurt id being
made to tldo over the general until the arrival
of U. S Grant , Jr.
2 a. m , The general la in the same condi
tion as at 1 o'clock. Mrs. Grant ! a fanning
him , with the nuts3 iu attendance. Dr.
Douglas IIOH retired ,
Though General Grant wan greatly ex
hausted by the jolting ridu Iu his bath chair
Monday i.tternoon , It waa hollovoi this
morning that the eight hours of natural sleep
obtained by him lint night had restored a
portion of ) jii lost energy. This b'llef wits
supported by hi/ / ) refreshed and somewhat
brighter appearance. His pulse had icnrcoly
the volume it had at 11 o'clock last night , and
ns the morning wore on tha doctor thought ho
detected evidences of a fovoriali condition
but the forenoon was passing BO quietly as to
give strength to the belief that the general
was resting nnd further recuperating from
the fatigue-of tha trip which had been under
taken at his sol [ citation , by hi ] expressed do
Biro and after an assurance by himself that
his strength was equal to the accomplishments
of his purpose. Toward noon , however , there
grew iu the physicians mind a conviction that
titn dozing qulatudo was more of extreme
'and growing lassitude than realful repose.
At midday there was a slight change , in the
sick man'd condition which was marked by
Increased weakness and loss cognizance of
what wai going on about him. This change
was so slightly marked , however , that no un
usual alarm was felt by the family , though it
was deemed advisable to report the same to
Dr. Douglas , who at thn time was at the hotel.
Accordingly Jesse Grant walked up
the slope to speak to the doc
tor , who came down to tha cottage.
The general was less quiet , though ho desired
rest He Informed the physician that ho had
declined alcoholic stimulants because ho ba.
llovcd they served only to beat his system
without imparting strength. He expreesod
himself as feeling that ho could endura his
condition of weakness but a short time longer
and then requested the physician to adminis
ter a hypodermic injection of morphine.
Dr. Douglas was not much inclined to grant
this request because ha believed the sleep and
rest produced by artificial moans would too
rapidly draw the vitality of the patient. 13u-
sldes a lethargic tendency was developing ,
and Douglas preferred that his patient should
take food rather than opiates. Tbo sick man
however declined and insisted upon an ad
ministration of morphine. At length to
satisfy him Dr. Douglas administered what
Grant believed to contain three minims of
the drug. AB a fact this quantity was not
administered , but a slight portion diluted In
the usual three drops of liquid ,
was injected into the general's arm. The
nick man grow more quiet and see-mod to
Bleep , and than it waa that the physician loft
the cottage and reported the patient exceed
ingly weak.
It has since transpired tlmt the general was
attacked this morning with hlo-cou hi , and
thsdiBiurbin ! _ and rapidly weakening as well
ns significant factor was present in the nfter-
noou and with added frequency. The deep
which followed tha giving of morphine was
attended by renewed luc-coughlng , Attempts
wore made as the afternoon was waning to
glvo the general food. He joined in the en
deavor but the quantity that remained was
small. When tha current of a goblet full of
liquid was pulsing the general' . )
throat iK ( own weight distended the
throat and the food passed down , but when
the last few mouthfuls were bjing drained
from the glass the weight and fullnesH of the
liquid was not sufficient to distend the parts
and they closed becatmi the muicular power
of tha throat was insufficient to keep an open
passageTha result was n season of choking
nnd coughing with the ejection of a portion at
oocli attempt to administer food , The condi
tion of the patient may be appreciated when
It U known that within perhaps fifteen min
utes n tor the attempt to adminicle * tha nour-
lahmout to him , ( ho general would suddenly
look up with a momentary expression of be-
wilrinrment and inquire of hid attendant ,
"When are you going to give mo that food ? "
Half an hour might e apao , and again the tick
mail would gl.iuco up as though ho had for
gotten something , and ejaculate , ' 'When are
you going to give mo the fogil you upoke of ? "
an < 1 when told that ho had just received the
food , but th t inoro would bo glvmi ff he de-
lirod , the general wo aid again fall Into a half
uncouFclousduu and mutter , "Never mind ,
or m nd , "
The afternoon was eiiltry and almost
breathlriB , with the theimoinetcr registering
as high as 85 ° . There was no reviving
clement la tin atmosphere , nnd ( tin sun went
down after u day of stllllnp discomfort even
to pet eons In trooil health , The general re
mained in hU room end was not drosecd
iluilnR the day. Ho did not move except to
HBO when the pillows kept constantly beneath
him to prevent bed sores were beaten up and
airod. Several timei ha walked feebly to a
cut in the eick room while hU resting place
was tbut being aired and freshened.
So the afternoon wora on , and at G o'clock
Dr , Douglu * cams to the hotel to dinner ,
The Grant family were then dining. Dr ,
Newman CMUU up tha mountain on the train
rrlving at G ; > 6 p. m , Ha joined the generai'i
family at the table , and there Dr , Douglti
reported the general's condition. He said the
patient was in a critical condition and IK
vautd hazard no prediction of the future , nol
even of the night.
The dinner concluded , Dr , Newman nnc
Ir. Douglas returned to the cottage. A light
bieeze bad inning up with the going down ol
tin lun and hope was expressed that the cool-
in ; air of the evening might rorivo tbi
patient
Co\ \ , Fred Grant had been at the cotUipi
but a little while , after his return from din
oer. when he was iad ! to have expresct'd thi
belief that his father wouU
not nirvive the night. The fain
ily were conscious that the critics
itason was near and impenie and Illy sup
presied anxiety prevallad in and about tbt
cottiga Colonel Grant gave orders that al
mauuiotlota and nil literary effect * at tt i
cotUge ihould be at once packed up and madi
safe , as no more work en the General's mem
oirs would probably ba done thero. _ Twillgh
was deepening into dark when hurried move
ments weio observed within the cottage. Dr
Douglas WM with the patient and family a
alternate Intervals , and tome event seemcn
imminent. A nurse was seen to wheel one o
the general's large chairs from the Kick room
to the cottage parlor. Dr. Douglas and Col
Grant soon supported the lick rnan _ from
his apartment and settled him in i
great chair thn iiurso hod ciishiontx.
with pillows Mrs , Grant took n place
beside her husband and fanned him almas
incessantly. Dr. Douglai said the genera
had been brought into thn parlor so he mighl
benefit by freer air. Though the sick man
WAS coherant when ho spoku in whispers he
spoke but little and wai linking surely. Dusk
had Riven way to darkness , the general , seem
ing to take little note of the occurrences about
him , etlll sat with his face toward the door ,
while a nurse and Mrs , Grant raved fans be
fore his face , Critical momenta were passing.
U. 8 , Grant , jr. , was summoned by wne , and
all felt that the end might at any limn occur.
Mrs , Grant whispered to Dr. Newman
shortly before t ) o'clock and nikod him to oiler
prayer. The clergymen knelt beside the gen
eral and offered a prayer , while the family
and physician stood about with bowed heads.
For an hour the patient's pulse had boor
fluttering and weak , but soon after 9 o'clock It
steadied and grow a shade firmer. Then ho
lowered his feet and croieod his kncis. Next ,
liolrnnod his hands to hla face and rested his
check against it.
Dr. Douglas waj beside him and as these
changes tsok place he glanced up significantly
into the faces of the family grouped about
the chair. Finally ns the-hour of 10 o'dock
drew near Gen Grant looked up and spoke to
his daughter Nellie , Then he indicated a
purposp to write and did so , These
were instructions to his family. Hand
ing one note. to Col. Fred
the general looked up into his
face with largo eyes that had in them a piti
ful expression. "I Imvo already attended to
that , father , ' returned the colonel , aa ho bent
over the general , The latter then addressed
other members of the family. Ills pulse wax
growing steadier. Tha night passed beyond
II o'clock , and half an hour liter the sick
; nan demonstrated that ho was a general ( to
the last.

Special telegram to The UEE.
NEW YOIIK , July 21. The Timej' special
Tom Washington eays : The question Is ba
ng naked hero now whether In view of Attor
ney General Garland's opinion that there was
no contract between the government nnd
.loach , the fpvornmon't can take possession of
the yards of Ko ch , the plant used in con
structing these vessels , and go on with the
work on the unfinished vessels , The power
and right of tha government in tha premises ,
t la supposed , will have toba contested in the
courta , when the opinion of the attorney gen
eral may ba analyzed nnd weighed. It
a argued that if the government
iad claimed that there had been
a failure or omission to perform the work sat-
sfactorily , but there was a contract , tha sec
retary of the navy could proceed under the
.erma of the contract , take possession of the
yards of Koach , and go on with the unfinished
work , as the contract is declared to bo wholly
void , because it was violated in part , It is
supposed the application of the government's
own rule would deprive the government of
the privilege rol claiming tha right to take
: osse3sion , Naval officers are looking for
ong- and tedious litigation , involving dis
putes about the plans of construction , textile
strength of iron and steel , comparative ad
vantage of some _ methods of building ever
others , the meaning of the term "sea speed , "

Private Secretiry Lament characterize oa
absurd the report that ho Is to be appointed
marshal of the district as successor to Mnr-
hal McMichne ) . He will stay near the
jrosident as secretary , The surprise of
Mai no democrat ! is that Blame's postmaster
at Augusta is still able to hold his office
against Col. Martin , candidate of the demo
crats of the city and state. Many less "of-
ensive partisans" than Manly have been re
moved before the expiration of their terms ,
mt ho who began his active work at the first
Maine meeting- , and who kept it up until the
esult of the election was declared , appears
o be able to hold off the appointment ot his

JItNOn NOTES.
WAHUINOTO.V , July 21. The law officer o
the poitodico department has given nnoplmoi
to the effect that a postmaster who usea 01
converts to his own use postal funds In hli
possession , thougli not required to depoel
them till the end of the month cr quarter , h
guilty of embezzlement. It has been tuppoeot
by many postmasters tint under section 1,24 !
of the postal laws and regulations roviscc
statute ; , 4,033thero was no embezzlement
by postmasters until they had wilfully neg
lected to makp the deposits as required by the
regulations. But the opinion holds that un.
dcr the provisions of the postal laws revised
statutes , 3,8 1C postmasters are forbidden to
loan , UBO or deposit in authorized banks , or tc
exchange for other funds any public money
collected by them. If n postmaster does use
such moules ho wrongfully converts them tc
hU own use , and the act of February 3rd ,
1879provides that any otlicer of the United
States or an assistant , who shall embezzle or
pervert public funds to his own use shall be
punished by fine and imprisonment. Under
thia act any poptmaetor who uses postal funds
intending to make them good when the time
for depositing arrives is liable to prosecution
and punishment ,
Colonel Foster , United States minister to
Spain , has transmitted to the ettto depart
ment a report made to him by 13 De La
Granja , a physician of Boston , who accom
panied the medical commission recently Bent
to Valencia by the Spanish government to
Investigate the cholera epidemic and to report
upon the elliciency of the now system of
iuoculatiui practiced by Dr. Forron. The
report aays : "Persons treated by Forran were
found to have been inoculated in both arms
but presented no marks or Bears other than
those made by the hypodermic Byringo and
now almost obliterated. Some of them stated
that they bad had a littio headache and all se
vers pains iujthu arms lusting about ttrenty-
four hours after inoculatian. One of the most
remarkable things is that none _ had either
vomits or diarrhoea aa au elfdct of inoculation
excepting the small children who , according
to one of Ferran's assistants , had both , Sta
tiBtica presented by Forran cannot ba taken
is atatictics by miybody free from prejudice.
The only thing to bo said in favor of Ferrau'ti
nethod is that those who have undergone it
lave lost all fenr of the disease. Ferrari asserts
.hat the inoculated do not havoany immunity
until five days after inoculation but
does not know fur how many days after that
Iiey are protected , The inoculated , bow-
over , do not appear to acquire muh immu
nity because they are attacked by cholera and
dig like those not Ino.ulated. The commis
sion has concluded that the inoculations are
noffensiva and recommend _ that Forran bo
allowed to continue his experiment. The op-
tosition to the present government
at Spain liaj been making political
capital out of the suspension of
noculations pending invostlcatlon , thus al-
owing Forran and his associates to pose as
martyrs to the cause of humanity , science
and progress. It Is my opinion that Forrnn'a
irobylactlca will bo short lived and will fall
nto as much discredit as the treatment of
: ancor by the use of condurango , discovered
oino years ago by one of our own phy-
Iclans. "

of the appearance of government bonds , and
one of the theories advanced is that some one

Spccinl Telegram to The BEE.
HCiticAoo , 111. , July 21. The course o
wheat from one day to another is now quit
uncertain and unsteady. The market is si
sensitive and nervcui that each nnd over ;
story and report which comes in dutnij
trading hours Is sure to put pricosupor down
To-day , with all the outside influences bullish
the market opened firm and higher , nnd thoi
broke quickly under the oiled of a hot whoa
report from New York , which has very littli
to do with Chicago spring No , 2. The unex
pected decrease of the visible supply , the bat
reports from Huseian crops , the strength o
foreign cables and expectations of more 01
loss damage to the wheat now growing ir
Minnesota and Dakota from excessive heat
all conspired to make a stronger feeling unti
the tide turned under moro favorable HOWE
from abroad nnd from New York , But oven
then the market partly recovered from the
break nnd remained firm till near the cloao.
Liverpool waa said to be firmly hold , and car
goes were a turn dearer and higher , but New
York opened g@j > c cff , and St. Louis caught
the fever and also declined } CgJc with the
e licet hero already noted. Later advices by
private cables noted an easier feeling m Kuro-
> ean markets , and consols were also higher.
Corn Corn showed nn amount of Innate
strength to-day that was really surprising
under the circumstances , September opened
ibout ic lower , and then Bold up 4@Hc right
n the face of tbo decline in wheat , and also of
; ho large receipts about 900 cars altogether
and the additional fact of an increase in the
visible supply. Liverpool was said to bo
easier on corn , though not quotably lower ,
aud Now York was off 4@3c in sympathy with
wheat. But hero corn not only hold its
own but actually advanced fractionally in the
midst of a naturally expected movement in
he other direction. One cause of this
itrength might have been the fact that the
ncrease in the visible supply waa quite email ,
xmsidering that the volume of daily receipts
ms been sp much greater of late , thus show
nsr that the demand for corn keeps pace with
ho supply , oven when that supply is cousid-
rably enlarged.

A recant Inttor ia the Chicago No we
fiom Somerset , Ohio , Bare : A quaint
littio vlllajjo this , with its few hundred
[ lalnt-peoled board houses , weather ba- {
in ! , nnd rickety ; Its lonesome , old-faish'
loijoi plaza , and its 1,207 Inhabitant !
whittling away their lives and ambitions
with dull jick knives. Atypical sleep1
hollow of orients ! languor , devoid of oil <
ontal p'oaaure ' , a Yankee hamlet without
Yankee Invention , arid guiltleu of evoc
the semblance of Yankee energy. Somer.
set is precisely the same as It was thirty-
fire years ago , when it bsasted 1.25C
population and a nine room brick man-
eion , with a plethoric orchard and a Inrgo
agricultural annex , which went begging
for a tenant at 870 annual rental. In
the long years of ita existence there
ia no reliable record that it wat
excited out of ita indiffcrenco more than
twice once when Philip IJenry Shorl
dan , then a puny lad of D yearn , dashed
through tha place on the back of a rano-
way norse , and atjaln when the nowi
came that Gen. Philip Henr/ Sheridan
had won the day at Winchester. The
Orit eet the tongues of the vilUga croak
ers to wagRing. No good would accrn
to n boy of such d ro-dovll proclivities
they said , The later ocsurronco evoke
the time worn I-told-you-ao. Youn
Sheridan waa ordained for greatness , th
town folk agreed , and with this vordic
they lapsed Into their drosmlcss sonmo
loucy.
Sheridan's youthful horseback ndvon
tare was a revelation of the charade
which made him luvinclblo aa n cavalrj
charger , la contemplating hla brilllan
war record one la aomotimca boffilderec
to know whether it was entirely love fo
country or lore for wild horeorn&tuh ! ;
which Inspired him in his Impo'.nou
dashes. Ills horao was always his main
stay. The enthusiasm which Impelled
him to yell , "Keep them on the run
boys ! " after the julod union trooper
covered with dust and stntncd with the
life blood of fallen comrades , had cirvci
their nay to the crest of Mission ridge
up over the very caunon-b.ii\a of the
confederates , but was on oxonvjlficatloi
of that which perpetuated his louth'u
exploit la the chronicles of the Somcr
set community. Though n mere
child ho mounted the unbroken
\nd brldlolcsa colt. An inherent reck
lessncBs of spirit , which was Irritated bj
the challenges of his playmate ] , actuatoc
him. no pluckily maintained his sent ,
clinging to the mane of the runaway , ant
at the end of four miles the colt , tiroc
ind conquered , turned into the farmer's
barn standing conveniently at tlio rosd-
ildo. The daring lad slipped from the
sack of the panting animal unharmed.
His companions gave chaao through the
.own and out Into the country , expoctiop
ivory moment to coma upon hla mangled
) ody. Ho mot them , all smiles and sat-
sfoctlou. [ p5S
"Waen't you oifo'lly scart though ? '
asked ono of the youngsters.
"Not much ! " was the lisping rejoinder.
'It wuz bully fun. I jes1 only wish the
old boss hadn't played out. I'd blngoln *
yet. "
There Is much In Gen. Sheridan's llfo
hat is kindred to the fortunes and mis-
ortuncs of many Americans who have
lecoino illustrious. In a community of
Ittlo moro animation than a necropolis ,
nd snrroundod by degenerating In-
aoncoj , lie advanced purely by the force
if his own energies and vlf/orous virtues.
Born March 0 , 1831 , his youth was a
oustant struggle between an inborn de-
Ire for learning and the Inclination to
mltnto the human sleepiness he s.iw on
very side. The turnpike in Somerset
was in those days ono of the great hlgh-
vaya to the now west. Many a week did
oung Sheridan and his father break
lone on It at alx ponso a day and "find
icir own dinners , " as the eldest Inhabl-
ant delights to relate. From the con-
cnatlon of the psessra-by It was that
10 lad's mind received its first confined
mpresalona about the outsldo world ,
'ho attrition , Instead of inspiring dlscon-
mt , quickened hla natural liking for
tudy , and soon afterward ho had made
inch progress at the country echool that
o readily , upon application , procured a
orkshlp In the store of Mr. Huston ,
[ is natural smartness and his proficiency
n arithmetic excited the Interest and
inally secured him the friendship of an
u I able old gentleman who was ovontn-
ily Instrumental In placing him at West-
'olnt.
Sheridan's parents are plain , easy-go
ng Irish people ; devout members of the
athollc cinrcb. They reside in a white ,
Inocovero-i cotfagebputa mile south of
ho public Lijaare. Hii slater Mary was
kind-hearted lady , rather loquacious ,
mt withal noted for deeds of charity and
ncero attachment to her church. She
narrled John Wilson , a major on her
mother's staff In 1803 , and died a year
ater. Both of Sheridan's brothers were
n the army , the ono , Michael , being on
Ia staff , and the other , John , serving as
private. The latter had studied law ,
tough nature evidently never designed
ilm for a successful barrister.
lOar-slghtodnoss and a dlstreasful
raldlty before an audlotco were
ils peculiarities. Oco Fourth of
uly during the war John Sheridan
iad been invited to deliver the oration of
10 day , the celebration being largely
oramemorativo of Gen. Sheridan's ' trl-
mpbs and patriotism. The orator
itojo nervously , apparont'y wrest-
ng with some _ mighty thought.
At length he said : "Ladles and cjonUo
men : Somerset ia a small place [ pause ]
hat is , it is not very largo. " At this
iroionnd reflection ho blushed , coughed ,
Dok a drink of water , wiped his epecti-
les , and replacing them reaumc-d : "La-
les and gentlemen : Somcraot Is i ? a
null plica. 'Hem ! That le , it it Is note
o very largo. " After having repeated
lie complex operation of blushing ,
oughlng , drinking , and clearing tlio
mist frDm his spectacles , ho was about to
irocecd with his painful panegyric on
Somerset , whan the shrill volco of his
later Mary interrupted : "John-neo
iher-1-dan , M down and compose your-
elf. " To the orator this Miggcatlou was
o unspeakably welcome that he dropped
nek Into his ec.t and was iiover heard
n public again.
During the war General Sheridan made
nly ono visit homo. Elaborate prepara-
ions had boon made to do him honor.
Ie was escorted from the stage coach to
he family residence by a cavalcade of
oral admlren. Then ho excused him-
elf and disappeared within. It was oup-
loeed that the meeting nould bo an af-
ecting ono and long continued , but when
behalf hour's wait had merged into RII
lour , and then into two , the crord became -
came impatient. Just then a mosiongei
arrived from town with the t'.ciiural'ii
iompllments and an Invitation to moot
ilm in the back room of Bill Dltton'a
; rocory. A march had been stolen on
ho enthusiastic crowd , and for moro than
an hour the general had been deep In tbo
mystoncs cf poker and old rye.
