Grants Exercise Increased.

New YORK, May 10.-Gen. Grant slept
fully seven hours Saturday night, and when
the four doctors of the staff met in consul
tation this afternoon, they found the gen.
erals condition was, if anything, improved,
but the cancerOuS spots were unchanged.
Dr.. Barker sails for Europe this week, and
this was his last consultation before going.
When about to leave he bid the general good
bye, and said: ''When Icome back in the
autumn, l shall expect to find your literary
work finished to your satisfaction" ou
don't expect to find me though, do you, :"
said the general. II shall hope SO, any
how" responded DR.. Barker, as he went
away. DR.. Shrady said the two new can
Ger spots had not perceptibly increased since
Wednesday. The general, at the window,
waved adieu to DR.. Douglas, as he drove
and Cyrus W. Field called during the after
noon. At o'clock this afternoon, while
throngs were strolling on the avenues, Gen.
Grant, attended only by Harrison. left his
house and walked toward Madison avenue.
His
PACE WAS MORE BRISK
than at any previous walk. AS he neared
the corner of the avenue he seized his cane
utdI ltS IlllelulS, ICdcll0u tlG cOT1l6Ti ana
walked half the block up-townward unaided
by his stick. Then as he felt the strain of
the slight ascent between Sixty-sixth and
Sixty-seventh streets he again brought the
cane into use. You've gained another
block on your walking distance, -
said an interested witness, as the
general turned back at Sixty-seventh. 81
think it will do me good; haven't walked
in so long now," was the response
and the invalid added: 81
will add block at a time this way, as I
get stronger, and then I'll walk twice a day
morning and afternoon besides riding at
midday. Why do drive just at noon?
The doctors advised it. They said there
was less malaria in the atmosphere at that
hour of the day. No, l feel no more
fatigued, as can see, than after my walk
to Madison avenue" concluded the general
as he reached the steps of his house. He
mounted the steps with as little evidence of
WEAKNESS as on the previous occasions Of
exercise.

dozen steamers now due here, one, two and
even three steamers of some of thelines be-

everlasting that God did let us live When we
deserved nothing but capSlzes and dem0l-
itiOn. How long have you lived unpar-
doned? Fifteen years, twenty years, forty
years, sixty years. You have lived through
great religious awakenings. through domeS-
tic calamities through business disaster,
through alarming illness, through provl-
dences that startled nations, and living yet
strangers to Gcd and duty, and with no
hope for a future into which any moment
you may be precipitated. Through Jesus
Christ get your nature revolutlonlZed and
transfigured. for God sometimes changes his
gait; and instead of the deliberate step he
becomes swift witness, and people in
your state may be suddenly destroyed and
without remedy Give up your war against
God and have Him your eternal ally. When
King Philip of France led his army with
bows and arrows to fight King Edward III.
of England, at the most critical time in the
battle, shower Of rain so dissolved the
bowstrings that they were OF no effect and
Philips army was worsted. And, my
hearers, all your weaponry will be as moth
ing when God rains upon you discontinue
out of the heavens. But safe are all those
who have God for friend instead OF foe.
The chariots of God are 10000. Change
allegiance! Take down the old flag and
run up the new one! The American con-
gress during the time of the American revo-
luton were for long days in anxiety to know
whether the army of Washington or the
army of Cornwallis would conquer, and
when the news finally arrived at the door
of congress that Cornwalls had surrendered
and the war was over, the doorkeeper
dropped dead from joyful excitement. Oh,
if this moment the long conflict between
your soul and God could terminate in your
surrender, the glad tidings would soon reach
heaven, and nothing but the supernatural
health of your glorifed loved ones could
keep them from prostration from overjoy at
the close Of the spiritual hostilities.

Many of the newlyappointed Demo-
cratic officials hold State or city offices,
and under the executive order of Gen.
Grant, made in 1879, federal officials arc
prohibited from holding State or municipal
offices. Inquiries are being received, espe
cially at the postoffice department, to know
whether this order is in force The reply
is made that it is still in operation, and that
il can only be rescinded by an order of the
President. As these officials are members
of boards of supervisors, and act in other
capacities in carrying on the elections, the
enforcement of the order will be felt widely.

An exchange pertinently inquiries "what
kind Of juries are those OF the future to be,
il the courts go on making it more and
more difficult for intelligent men to serve on
them. In every important case the jury list
is challenged from beginning to end. Every
man is asked If he has read or heard about
the case. Ifhe is such dumb, unintelligent
man as never 10 have heard or read about
1t, he is declared the prize juror at once
No possible objection can be made to him.
II man is unfortunate ~ enough to have

as TO whether he has formed or expressed
any opinion as to the guilt or innocence of
the party. Ifhe is communicative man, a

he reads, of course he has formed or ex-
pressed an opinion. He is then further ques-
toned as to whether that opinion is Of such
a character as TO influence him in deciding
on the law and the evidence in the case. If
he cannot positively answer no land what
man who desires to be honest can unhesi-
tatingly make such an answer he, also, is
rejected. And so the sitting process ngoes
on. OF course the law presumes that only
intelligent men are placed upon jury list,
but when men can be found on that list, as
is frequently the case, who have never read
or heard of an important case in their own

sumes too much? Would not the question,
