Mr. MoGaKOon , July liO , A cool breeze baa swept over the mountain to-day nnd the tall ptnos that bent above tbo Grant cottapo have been whispering since morning. The suggestion was casually made to Dr. New man to-day , while breakfasting , that ho should conduct the morning Sabbath service , but tbe reverend gentleman gravely declined. Since Gen. Grant's death bo baa been unable to speak of bis dead friend without emotion , and to have stood where bo did two weeks ago to-day , delivering a dlicourse "on the value of character , " whllo Gen. Grant was alive down at the cottage , seemed well nigh impossible to Dr. New no man. So the day has been ono of quiet nets , with some visitors nnd some prominent In arrivals. Gen. Horace Porter nnd the Jap anese minister , Kuki , arrived hero to-day. The desk at the hotel olfica has been draped with emblems of mourning and _ two guideons brought to-day by detail of eight men from U. S. Grant Post , G. A. R. , of Urooklyn , of Senior Vice Commander Johnson command ing. Those eight men arrived at noon , and immediately took up their duties as a private body guard , two of them being constantly in Mr. attendance at and Inside the cottage , the re are liefs being on duty three hours each. This private body guird will not hi > displace Wheeler post , of Saratoga , who first came and who will remain until the removal , patrolling the cottage on all sides , The states of Maine New Hampshire , Vermont , Con necticut , Now York , Michigan , Wisconsin , and IS ew Mexico are all represented in per the sons of the Grand Army veterans now en camped on the mountain. A company of In fantry from Fort Porter , near liuifalo , under command of Brevet Major Brown , has been ordered bere by Gen. Hancock as a guard of had honor to thn remains of Gen. Grant. They are ordered to report to Col. Ilogqr Jonas , inspector specter general and acting assistant adju tant general , who will arrive at not Mount McGregor to-morrow. Gen. Horace to Porter and Col. Fred Grant will start down " the mountain at 11 o'clock to-night by special train. A special train ot the We t Shore " toad will await them at Albany to convey tbe them to New York , where they will arrive at then 1 a , in. to-morrow. On reaching New York tary Gen. Porter and Ool. Grant will meet Mayor been Grace and Gen. Hancock , with whom tha to details of THE FINAl OIISEQUIE3 the will be arranged. Gen. Porter is possessor of { Gen. Grant'd last headquarters flag , which Was displayed at Appomattox Thn flag waa stand presented to Gen. Porter by Gen. Grant , and by Gen. Porter baa Inon loaned to'.the Union League club of New York for use In Ita dis play of mourning made In honor of Gen , Grant , Gen. Porter this afternoon saw a plaster rnaak of the dead general's face made within half an hour after his death by Karl Oerhardt , the sculptor , Gen. Porter Special held the mask in his hands and studied it minutely and iu silence for several to moments. "That is most perfect , " ho finally laid , nnd then touched a point on tha right cheek and added "there in even tbo mole or wart on the general's facj , " A COACHMAN'S REQUEST. The message sent by General Grant's old passed coachman requesting that ho might drive tbe soldier beano was as follows : EXECUTIVE MANSION , Washington , D. C. was July 25.

Porter " said : "Inert ) was the most devoted attachment for G on. Grant on drives the part ol this colpied man , and tba general Prince thought much of him. He 19 amoet faithful that fellow , and as black ai a coal. " Grant's The COMPAHISONH WITH HISTORIC GENERALS , shrinks "I have board many persons ainca his death of comparing Gen , Grant with the great gen can erals of butory , " observed Gen. Porter this who afternoon , "but to my mind the fact tbat her auch comparions are sought to bo made proves sages that Gen Grant wai molt unlike any of Mr them. No , " added Gen , Porter , "He was cast in a different mold from any of the his heartily toric generate. I think bo WAS tha moat ican ready mm I have ever known , Parsons have como to him while busy and asked for letters upon some subject , nnd in stead of putting it off Gen. Grant would almost always write what waa requested , and It would bo decided as clear and compact a ) though done by some literary mon , who studied it out nnd revised it twice. I recall an instance of Gen Grant's readiness bwing ia ftn emergency , On the night of the second day of the wilderness tight , when Stdgewlck'n corps bad ben broken nnd Shaller and Sey mour opturod , Gen. Grant sat in hi head nectod quarters and listened to the fast coming reports - dent ports of perplexity and trouble , bat ba confer turned to one and another and talked off hia take orders with as much precision and display of wishes judgment aa thouph be had been itudying th t unexpected aituatlou for two mouths , aund and all who saw him moment WA.T01I1D ANIl LI8TKNKII AND \\ONDEIIEI ) . and auch And again , when Gen.

Well , the tbe lawy era catna after tha general and argued here at length , and when they had done , he turned it ia and rendered a decision that left room for no dieted. further argument , ao clear and coyant were public ita points , Afterwards one of tba lawyers and came to ma and aked whore tbat man ( mean mlttoe ing tbe general ) had studied law , but I told Grant him Gen. Grant had never elud'ed ' law , and mains lilt compreneniive graip and Information there were facts tbat I could tell nothing about" quest "Did Gen , Grant ever grow nervoua or ex-jan In cited , do you ask ? I never saw him angry but once , and that was when he saw a brutal fellow clubbing a horse over the head. The general seized the man , told him ha was a brutnnd puniihed him for hii Impudence , of which he was gnllty to the general , but I NKVEB IIRAIU ) HIM UTTER AN OATH Nor any approach to It , and I was with him nine yo r , without over being away from him two weeks , Grant was n fine rider nnd fine whip M well. Ho could ride forty or fifty miles nnd come in perfectly fresh and tire out young men. lie was much attached to n little horse that was called "Jeff DBMS , " became he wni secured on Jeff Davis' plantation , He was nn easy bnimtl to rida and was easily guitlfd through in and out . but when fording tream > "Jtff" wai at d ! advantage. There was be- cidei n noble big b.y : , a colored follow named Clnclnniti which Gen. Grant uaod to ride. That horse would ford a stream magnificently. IT WAS ON LITTLE 'jKKF1' that Gen. Grant , accompanied by myself and au orderly , rode out to the front on tha morn ing when there was that hour of delay in tba explosions ol our mine nt Petersburg. The general were n little blue blouse that mornln , and many of the men a wo paaaed to th front did not know that ita wearer was Gen Grant. The firing was getting very heavy and I suggested to the general tbat we ills mount becauae we could p-t about mnch easier. I did not aay ; tbo firing wag terrific for that would have been to him no argument for dismounting. So wo dismounted tbe orderly holding little Jeff by tha bridle , and then Gen.Grant made hia way through the lines and works clear out to tbe front whore the firing was heavy indeed , but bo was n man who never winked In the face of mlisiloa , nnd ono of the only two men I oxer saw who would not involuntarily do BO. _ Tlia other was a bugler. Gen. Grant waa a Hip Vnndam sort of a man-n man of the people. Ho en joyed being annng hia men duringthewarnnd In private life when riding In n special car perhaps ho would go to the forward end to take half a Peat with some passenger in the front car , when ho wanted to Btnoke. It Is ead , sad tbat with ten ripe years naturally be fore him , such n man should need to bo taken and I think his loss will be more appreciated by tha people as time goea on. " THE rHIVATE OBSEQUIES. It Is desired that tha friends and public > should know that on the morning of Tuesday , August-lib , they will be free to view the re mains of Gen. Grant in the cottage parlor where the body will lie iu state that day. On the samn date tha principal funeral service will bo held at tha cottage , when Dr. New man will deliver the funeral oration , and at that time president and Btato governors are expected to be present. The interment ser vice in New York will bo confined to the methodist ritual. THK V EEPINO WIDOW. f Mrs. Grant is a great sufferer.
