Regardless of wounds, or illness, rank,

GEN GRANT
Doing as We'll as Could be Expected
Under the circumstances.

MOUNT McGREGoR, n. Y, June 22.-
Sitting in sheltered spot on the piazza
where the breeze could not reach him,
Gen. Grant quietly passed the morning
until noon, writing a part of the time.
At lunch time the general entered the
cottage and did not again appear outside
until between 3 and 4 o'clock, when he
strolled about the piazza. He soon
went in doors, however, for the tempera-
ture was about CO., and the stiff breeze
that had followed the early morning
rain rendered light overcoats acceptable
to well persons. The storm of the
morning threw down the one wire from
the mountain and thus cut off communi-
cation with the outer world.
At 10 o'clock the physician said the
general vas quiet and about going to
