Gen. Grant Telling About a Dream.
NEW YoRK, April 4-The impression
prevails with many that h%ypodermic in,
~jections of brandy were not only employed
to rally Gen. Grant from the death swoon
last Thursday morning at daybreak, but
that the general has since been sustained
almost solely by the use of liquors admin
istered by physicians. This is untrue.
On Thursday morning, when death was
believed to be only n few minutes away,
DR.. Shrady injected one drachm of bran
dy beneath the skin of the generals arm.
Beneficial effects were speedily observed.
and soon after the operation was repeated.
Another drachm was then administered
with a hypodermic syringe. That was
all the liquor stimulant then administered
and not a drop has been given since. The
general has since expressed the conviction
that those applications of brandy saved
his life at that time.
The attendant in the sick room, as DR..
Shrady was leaving Gen. Grant this morn
ing, heard the following dialogue.
Now, general, good morning. You
have had a splendid night. - remarked the
physician cheerily.
Yes, / feel quite refreshed" answered
the general.
And now, general, the way to make
me happy is to stay in that condition
until l come back at 200
o'clock this afternoon, said the doctor.
And when l her ask you how
YOU are, you are to say you are better"
Il do not wish to go against my con
science, returned the general.
But | am sure you will be better" in
sisted DIR. Shrady cheerily.
II will agree to be, if you keep up the
same line OF action, and tell DR.. Douglas
to do so when you are gone,' responded
the general.
Certainly | will ask him to do So re-
turned the doctor. ave intend to keep
up this same line of action here pr.
Shrady hesitated a second, and then with
a smile, added: IF it takes all summer"
At this quotation of the generals IA
nous utterance, he looked up quickly and
smiled.
DR.. Shrady returned to the house at .
p. m, and soon after DIR. Barker drove
up. DIR. Douglas had already arrived.
After consultation DIS. Barker and Doug
las left. DIR. Barker then said Gen. Grant
was better than he had been in Il week;
that his throat was easier and that the
mucus was less adhesive and easily thrown
off.
Between 3 and 4 p. IN. he complained
of a chill in his room. and a wood fire was
started in the CRATE. The easy chair was
wheeled near the fireplace, and there the
general rested, with DIR. Shrady and Mrs.
Sartoris near by. Callers were compare
lively few during the day. Some flowers
were sent to the house in the afternoon.
In the morning bnlletin reference was
made to the fact that during the night
Gen. Grant had dreamed and had after
ward related his dream to the doctor, and
his family. The bulletin spoke Of this to
show the clearness of the generals facul-
ulties in being able to recite the details Of
the dream. The general related his dream
soon after he awoke. He said he felt rs
if he were off travelling somewhere and
had but n single satchel, feeling he was
poor; and he thought he was partially I'm.
dressed and had no money. This worried
HIM a good deal, although he thought to
himself that he ought to be used to it by
that time. Altogether he felt himself I,
be in a pretty bad predicament, without
money and without friends. He came to
a fence and got over it very awkardly,
there being a stile only on one side. WheI
over, he found he had left his satchel oil
the other side and he could no
get it without paying duty a
each step of the stile as he wen
back for it. Then he thought he woul'
go home and borrow money from Mrs
Grant, but when he got there he foun'
that Mrs. Grant had only SIT. That wa
not enough, and the general said that a
that point he was glad to wake up
