] NEW York, April 11--At s A. H. DR.. Shrady
| issued the following bulletin: General Grant
dozed comfortably until l A. NJ, when he be-
came restless and suffered from pain in his
throat The usual local applications were made
| giving partial relief Att A. H., however, the
administration Of an anodyne was demanded
/ and since that time he has been doing and
sleeping by turns. His pulse is 60; temperature,
$685.
| As DR.. Shrady left the house this morning he
said that General Grant had passed very quiet
might He slept profoundly until 2 A. M. with
| out the aid of an anodyne. At that hour he be-
came somewhat restless and an opiate was ad
| ministered, after which he slept until morning.
He took nourishment as usual.
/ Senior Romero, with vaIise in hand, entered at
9:30, and Senator Chaffee followed closely behind
| him.
At 1850 Jesse Grant and wife, nurse and
child, and Mrs Sartoris left the house and
| boarded Madison-ayenue going down town.
The feeling Of safety enjoyed to-day by the
family is further evidenced by the fact that Mrs.
| Fred Grant, nurse and child left the house and
| entered the park for morning stroll. She re-
| returned at Has A, NJ
| A visitor to the house, between 10 and IL
o'clock, met the Generals wife in the hail. and
! she invited him to go into the Generals room
and see him. General Grant was reclining. and
| the visitor was surprised to find him appearing
so well. Senator Chaffee, Senior Romero, Jesse
and Fred. Grant were present, and the General
was taking nourishment at the time.
When Senator Chaffee left the house at 1870
| he remarked that the pleasant weather had not
| frightened the General as much as anticipated.
| His greatest regret when viewing the inevitable,
is that he is obliged to leave his family and life
| long friends, and that the browning work of his
life--his war history-wil be left incomplete
| and in an unfinished state Otherwise he feels
that his life work and mission is fulfilled and he
is prepared to leave.
At l1:30 DR.. Shrady returned. He said he
thought he would not leave the General too long
alone
DR.. Douglas arrived at 1:2O, after having been
away since last night.
With reference to the rumors that the Gen
eral had been delirious and had been talking
| incoherently, this statement, at LAO p.
NJ, was made to who called:
| At that instant the General was
| doing WE'LL he had not been delirious When he
awoke he was at the moment in dazed condi-
| t;on between profound sleep and wakefulness,
bat quickly the patient became clear of mind,
and had so continued No apprehension was
felt of critical results to-day or tonight.

At $50 p. n. DIR. Douglas issued the following
| bulletin: General Grant has been very quiet
ali the afternoon. He has been sitting in his
| room. surrounded by and conversing with his
! family for some time. Pulse, 68; temperature,

Shortly after 10 o'clock Senator Chaffee and
| General Badeau left General Grants house. Mr..
| Chaffee said "The General is now comfortable,
| and will probably pass easy night"

| might.
| At 1890 O'clock Sunday morning, DR.. Douglas
issued the following: General Grant had, at

/ Once during the day the General arose from
his chair, walked firmly across his room and re-
| turned without evideNce of weakness, except
the limp. which resulted from the injury to his
limb.
| Later in ths day the General again left his
chair, walked into the hail. and passed along its
entire length to AIRS. CRAFTS room, which is at
the extreme rear of the house. Having reached
the apartment, the General sat down in a chair
and remained some minutes, conversing briefly
| in response to sailies upon his activ-
/ ity. Then he returned unaided, to the
sick room, where he resumed his chair without
evident exhaustion. The Generals ear is acute
and he frequently interjects remarks that prove
that he has been an intelligent and appreciative
listener to the talk going about him.
| A few days since General Grant received from
| the West remittance of 81, 900 and interest for
several years 1t came from a man who had
borrowed the money from General Grant years
| ago, and whom the General had believed was
dead.
