Grant Still LINGERING.

NEW YORK, April 4.-The impor.
! tant document alluded to in II O'Clock
bulletin was family paper. Dr.
Shrady has just said Grants condi-
tion is very good tonight, but it can.
not be told at what moment he will
] die. Anodyne administered produced
sleepiness. DR.. Shrady says he never
/ saw so much exhaustion in a man
Suffering with ,di- use of such small
local ms, an Set ASatulsc:. exhaustion
the DR.. thinks, is due largely to re-
cent shocks, the fall on 6Ae ice when
leaving his carriage, neuralgia, the
extraction of teeth, business troubles,
etc.
NEW YORK, April 4.-"You are to
say you are better?"
II do not wish to go against my
conscience" replied the General.
''But am sure you will be better"
insisted DR.. Shrady, cheerfully.
II will agree to be if you will keep
the same line of action, and tell DR..
Douglas to do so when you are gone"
replied the General.
"Certainly. I will ask him to do
so," returned the doctor. I'VE in
tend to keep up the same line of ac-
tioD."
Here DR.. Shrady hesitated a second,
and then, with smile, added "If
it takes all summer
At this quotation of the Generals
f.mous utterance, he looked quickly
and smiled: DR.. Shrady returned to
the house at 2 p. m., and soon after
DR.. Barker drove up. DR.. Douglas
had already arrived. After CONSUL
tation, Drs. Douglas and Barker left.
DR.. Barker then said General Grant
was better than he had been in a
week, and that his throat was easier,
and that the mucus was less adhesive
and easily thrown off. Between
and 4 p. m. he complained of chill
in his room and wood fire was start
ed in the CRATE. The easy chair was
wheeled near the fireplace and there
the General rested with DR.. Shrady
and Mrs. Sartoris near by. Callers
were comparatively few during the
day. Some flowers were sent to the
house in the afternoon. In the morn
ing bulletin reference was made to
the fact that during the night Gen
eral Grant had dreamed and after
ward related his dream to the doctor
and his family. The bulletin spoke
of this to show3the clearness of the
Generals faculties in being able to
recite the details of q dream. The
General related his dream soon after
he awoke. He said he felt as if he
were off travelling somewhere and
had but q single satchel. Feeling he
was poor and he thought he was par
TALLY undressd and he had no money.
This worried him a good deal,
although be thought to himself
that he ought to be used
to it by that time. Altogether he
felt himself to be in very bad pre-
dicament without money and with
out friends. He came to fence and
got :.over it very awkwardly, there
being u stile only on one side. When
over he found he had left his satchel
on the other side and he could not
get it without paying duty on each
step of the stile as he went back for
it. Then he thought he would go
home and borrow money from Mrs.
Grant; but when he got there, he
found that Mrs. Grant had only sew
enteen dollars. That was not enough
and the General said that at that
point he was glad enough to wake
up. While relating this night vision
Gen. Grant chuckled with some jol-
lity, particularly at that portion
where he told how he was Obliged
to pay duty or leave his satchel.
rhe impression prevails with many
that hypodemic injections of brandy
were not only employed to rally
Grant from the death swoon
morning at day-break, but
that the General has since been sus-
tained almost solely by the use of
liquors administered by physicians.
This is untrue. On Thursday morn
ing, when death was believed to be
only few moments away, DR.. Shra-
iy injected one drachm of brandy
beneath the skin of the Generals
right forearm. The benefit of the
effects was speedily observed, and
,oon after the operation was repeat
I'd, drachm then being administered |

Was all the liquor stimulant then
and not drop has
been given since. The General has
since expressed the conviction that
