 MT. MCGREGoR, N. Y., June 21.-Gene- ral Grant did not leave his room until been refreshed by nearly nine hours sleep, the best rest he has had since coming here. The night, although. broken by frequent occurrence of coughing, was comparatively a quiet one. Both the family and Dr. Douglass enjoyed uninterrupted rest. The doctor found on visiting the general at seven o'clock this morning that there had been annoying secretions in the throat, which was somewhat c1ogged with them. There was no change in the usual symptoms except that the pulse was 8 little below it's normal condition. The simple manipulation of the throat by cleansing and cocaine applications remedied this defcien- cy and from then until noon the general had several long maps.

The thermometer then indicated seventy degrees. He came out collar reached to his hat he sat down. Before dark he had retired to his room. He was at that time exhausted without being sleepy. The work on the revision of his book had taxed his strength and excited his mind. The doctor said there were no special ap- prehensions for the night, but the general suffered from debility and the outlook was only fair.
