NEW YORK, February IA deter.
mined Effort has lately been made by
certain journals to convince the pub.
lie that General Grant is hOpelessly
IN and would never appear 90 public
again. II has been alleged that the
general was In continual pain, that he
had no appetite, and could not sleep.
This morning u. 8. Grant. Jrs, said
in reference to the above mentioned
reports 81 am glad to say my father
Is In anything but the hopeless state
some people would have you believe
he is. His health Is steadily improv-
ing-that is, the bruised limb is get
ting less and less painful or course
he does not move about the house
very much, and when be does be has
to use his crutehes. This eedentary
life has the effect Of rendering sleep
more tickle and less easily to be
woOed. But the general eats and
sleeps fairly well. Every day l 90 up
20 his room and chat with him over 9
cigar. he still clings 70 that perni-
ciOus weed. He seems always % be In
good SPIRITS. Correspondents Of
newspapers are always trying to inter-
view him, but the general will not
see them. A certain western journal
that has q habit Of reporting inter
views that never take place sent a
representative the other day. BY
father Is looking out eagerly TO zee
what the enterprising journalist who
got no further than the doorstep will
say. It may be confidently expected
that Gen. Grant will be able to 20 out
driving I'm a months time. Before
his accident he never had known
what It was to be sick, but since he
has had several little sicknesses.
Rheumatism troubled him somewhat,
but an attack of pleurisy with which
he suffered a short time ago was al
most dangerous. still, he is getting
along well now, aud, though the pOlit-
ical world will certainly never see
him again, think Gen. Grant will
be visible to such as care TO see him
In every day life very soon.
