Mr.. McGRrGoR, N. Y, July 22.-The
actual condition OF the patient is pro
nounced unchangedsinceth the last bulletin,
except that General Grant is said by DR..
Douglas to be growing weaker Some
food has been taken and retained this
morning. The patient is in q sitting posi-
lion with slightly inclined head, conscious
and clear Of mind. DR.. Douglas has sent
for DR.. Sands. DR.. Douglas anticipates
The end during the day or evening.
The early morning hours at the Grant
cottage were cool and refreshing on the
yeranda, where the incandescent elect,ic
lamps wese kept burning ell the night.
Tho thermometer marked at 2 o'clock this
morning 72o. This was the equablc tenn
perature maintained in the sick room
while General Grant remained In New
York, aud to 1t was this morning added
tho sweet smell from pine trees that bend
over the cottage roof. A gentle breeze,
sweet and delicious, swept miles and
miles down the valley, and from over the
mountains. It stirred the curtains at the
window near which sat the sick man, and
famed his iace more gratefully than Gould
the careful hands that were waiting near.
Between and 3 IA. N. the gray tint of an
other day crept up the horizon beyond
the green mountains, perhaps the last
earthly day OF the sick man sitting within
the cottage parlor.
