sumo all accounts Of his condition that might
produce an unravorabie mental impression wore
kept from him. saw him about 10 o'clock to-
night, and he was then free from pain, and gave
promise OF passing a comfortable night"
Inc condition OF Gen. Grant remains about
the same. He is neither better nor worse than
he has been for several days" said Col. friedrich
Grant last evening. Who the callers were yes
terday, or from whom any letters or kilograms
tion, Col. Grant refused to disclose. DR.. Doug
lass said: Gen. Grant passed a comfortable
night, slept we'll and had little pain, and during
the day was up and around and enjoyed himself
with his family. The general ate more heartily
yesterday than he has for several days"

upon his system and wearing OF the disease
upon his nervous forces. ! I'M sorry to saw the
trouble is seldom cured, and there seems to be
little hope for his life. We told Gen. Grant he
might smoke half a cigar, but in one week from
that time he had ceased to use tobacco In any
form. 1t was thought best not to irritate the
throat with tobacco. but to say nicotine caused
the cancer is going too far. The generals will

GEN. GRANTS LITERARY WORK.
NEW YORK, Special Telegram. March L.
A member of the Century company has said
tonight in regard to Gen. Grants literary
work:
1T is not true, as has been stated, that the ar
Engagements for Gen. Grants articles were made
after the failure of Grant & Ward. The negoti-
atoms were completed long before that time,
and the articles have been IN the hands OF the
Century company since last August"
DO you think that Gen. Grants book will be
protitable?"
Yes, he ought to mske 100000 from the
work without much trouble. A publisher
named Webster Is to do the work, but 1 think
Gen. Grant would have done much better il he
had gone to some larger house. The person he
has selected is one whom Mark Twain took up
to DO his work, mainly. no doubt, because he
was rather obscure. OF course he may be a
good enough publisher, but the point Is that
Grants book ought to be handled by a large
firm, who could have placed it at once before
every buyer in the land"

ned by the unfortunate condition of the gen.

that though sorely wounded in many ways,
he is too proud to complain.
