Closing Hours of the Presidents Life,
NEw YORK, September 1sth.-A Telegram extra
1says: At the Presidents bedside holding his poor
Eemaciated hand in her own and watching with al i
sguish unutterable the fast vanishing sands OF fe
5sat the faithful, devoted wife during the closing
zhours of the Presidents career Around him were,
fother weeping friends and physicians, Iamenting
their poweressness in the presence of the angel of
sdeath. Toward the last the mind of the sufferer
wandered. He was more back in Mentor, amid
.tbose scenes where the hsppiest hours OF his life
swere spent. He sat in the dear old homestead again
with his loved ones around him-his aged mother,
$50 proud o; her big boy the faithful wife and be-,
sloved children. 1t was a blssfu dream, that
srobbed death OF its terrors and rendered the
.dying man for a moment unconscious of the cruel
srendlng Of his once vigorous frame that was con
zstantiy going on. The moan of the restless ocean
sningled with the sobs OF the loved ones as the lamp
suf life hickered and went out forever. Nearly every
one around the President cung to hope to the last
and refused to believe the approach of death until
the shadow deepened and the destroyer's presence
from every house on Ocean avenue, and the gayety
iof this fayorite wateringplace is followed by the
deepest gloom. The struggle is over, and death is
5the victor.
