The Strike at Bay City.

BAY, CRY, MICH, July THE strike
among the mill men is not so general as at
first supposed. 1t is learned that only five
mills shut down under the influence OF the
movement, the others being closed owing to
repairs being made and for want OF piling
room on the docks. The mill owners gen.
orally are in favor of ten hours, but if that
is accepted will be obliged to reduce wages
on that basis. The knights of Labor are
not identified with the strike, and it is I'M
possible to find any organization among the
strikers. The mill owners state they are IN
a position, owing to the depressed lumber
market to lay idle as long as necessary
No violence has been manifested thus tar

It gave me, for at that moment was living
upon borrowed money. The work found
coneenial, and determined to continue it.
The event is an important one for me, Tor

In preparing these volumes tor the public,
| have entered upon the task with the sim
cere desire to avoid doing injustice TO any
one whether on the national or Confederate
side, other than the unavoidable injustice
Of rot making mention often when
special mention is due. There must
be MANY errors OF omission in
this work, because the subject is too
large to be treated of in two volumes in such
a way as TO do Justice to all the officers and
men engaged. There were thousands OF in
stances during the rebellion of individual,
company, regimental and brigade deeds OF
heroism which deserve special mention and
are not here alluded to. The troops engaged
in them will have to look TO the detailed re-
ports of their individual commanders for
the full history of those deeds. The first
volume, as well as o portion OF the second:

able often to devote as many hours day as
a person should devote to such work. 81
would have more lope Of satisfying the ex
pectation of the public if could have al

heat efforts with the aid OF my eldest son, +.
d. Grant, assisted BY his brothers, to verify
from the records every statement OF facts
given. The comments are my own, and

or not. With these remarks / present these

TIRINa OF FOOD.
Gen. Grant Thinks Food Is Growing
Distastefll to Him..
CONSTANT ATTENTION NECESSARY.
It Has Kept the General Alive---Coacaine
Said to Have Increased the
Local Paralysis.
LATEST PROGRESS OF THE DISEASE.

Mt. McGREGoR, N. Y, July General
Grant took food three times last night, but
at about o'clock this morning he wrote for
DR.. Douglass that food was growing dis
tasteful. The physician appeared interested
and the sick man FASTENED to explain that
food was not less palatable, but that he be
lieyed that he was taking more nourish-
ment than he could assimilate. whereupon
the nurse was instructed to decrease the
quantities given. The constant attendance
General Grant is receiving from DIR. Doug
lass and the nurse under his direction has
without doubt prolonged the life of the pa
tent In order to subdue or allay the
Generals pain so that he may be
comfortable, it seems necessary that person
al attendance should be given about once
in three hours. To-day marks the third
week of the patients life on the mountain.
and it is wonderfully true that without al
most constant attendance, the pains OF dis
ease would have more than mastered any
improvement that has resulted from the
change, and as time progresses clos, care
will be more than needed. The palliative
measures employed on the painful portions
are less quickly eHectual now than three
weeks ago. Coacaine does not rapidly
deaden the pain at the throat, and there is
DOW little doubt that, If not a concurrent
cause, cocoaine has non.action OF which
tbe loss Of voice is due; though the secre-
tons are now thinner the causes OF e1haus-
ton are progressing. Though there are
days when the contrary seems true, an in'
stance occurred this morning, for the Gen.
eral after night Of quiet and rest wrote 10
DR.. Douglass these words: IL can feel
my strength increasing and the drain upon
me is diminishing"
Less Coeoaine.
Atout l:3O o'clock DR.. Douglas said to
his patient II think your voice is clearer"
when the General attempted to speak.
Yes, my voice is better to-day. l spoke
above q whisper two or three times this
morning" replied the General. This un.
usual clearnees of the voice is due at pres
ent to lessened use Of cocosine.
ASS o'clock, the hour of low ebb, ap
preached this afternoon the secretions did
not seem to increase, and o'clock came
with out the restlessness which the patient
has recently shown late in the afternoon.
