New YoaK, March 2.-Rev. Henry Wart
church. Brooklyn, was almost overcome with
emotion in referring to the approaching deatt
of Gen. Grant. He said:
''Thou last laid upon our hearts great de-
sire and a vehement petition for him that Les
in sickness, before whom ere long opens the
gate to let him forth from life Thou has
granted him to be of great service to this day
and land, and by him Thou hast borne tht
banner of victory, and Thou hast out Of dark
ness wrought light, and out of confusion
order Thou hast laid upon Thy servant
very heavy yoke and burden, ard now,
through suffering, he draws near to the end
thereof. God be gracious to him, and ill his
:oom with divine presence, and give to his
soul the consciousness Oh Gods forgiring love-
May he be pa.isnt an1 gentle, loo.zin, ever.
more to the better life. May he endure to tb.
oni and rise through the ;,nspeakable bounty
and grace CT jesus to the Immortality of the
blessed May all thy servants remember him
who remembered them in the dark days, and
?-ant, we beseech thee, that this family may
lie prepared AMI blessed for thy will Lord,
,here are our fathersl They are with thee.
Where is the host with whom we walked in
cheer with theea They rest-thcy are gone.
We are corning to the days in which memory
orinSs none back to Us among the living, and
Say by day they that have borne
he burden and the heat are going. Vic
liall fill Their pl:cess o, grant that there
slay arise and rest upon thy servants, the
,oung men, OF responsibility that they may be
,e servants of God, and 80 the servants Of the
Iae mOtherland."
The doctors who are attending Gen
Grant are DR.. FOrdyce Barker, DR.. J. H.
douglas ard Dr. H B. Sands, Of this city,
md Dr. T. NJ Merker, of PaiIaac,rh:a.
DIR. Douglas said: Il am in NO wise respm
:ible for the rose-colored report that a. pearei
in the Medical Journal last week. Two days
before the report was published had a con-
versation with DIR. Sands, ct Gen. Grants
LOuse. AS a result o, the consultation, we
10th decided that the cancerous growth at the
loot OF the tongue was hardening, and stead
i!y growing worse Microscopical examina-
Ton by sn expert proved beyond dyubt case
Of n.aiigr AM epitLeliai growth. Gen Grant
is q very SICK man. ! tail:; there is little or
no hope that he will recover
HE is breaking down, buk has displayed
nluch COURAGE Within less than a month lie
/; S done as niuci as six or eight hours work
q cay, but had ittle sleep for the past eight
days We have Ir.eJ TO keep the knowiedge
his true Condition from the general because
Le Lad so piany ether trouble, to bear. i
Lave all along maintained that his trouble is
lem a cance-vus growth cs the root of ths
sngue, ca.i,ed undoubtedly by excess in
smoking. Every time he speaks or breathes
Ut eats this is disturbed. 1t is difficult to treat
it for that reason. There have teen times
:. zen Tie growth has beea Temporarily
checked, but it has never been arrested AMI Is
:.ea iiiy increasing.
''Taere has been considerable los Of tis<is
of the soft palate. He takes nourishme8,
every day In liquid form. He can not eas
solid food. because b. has lost oil his teeth.
They We're extracted in ,ie hope OF easing tn.
pain in his lace This pam, although it re-
sembles neuralgia, is nos that, pure and SIM
pie, bu. it is reflective pa:n caused by can
Ger in the throat. lie has been suffering froli
u severe pain in the ri gins ear and on top Of

wrapped in lot fanneL. cannot say how
near the enc. is. He may Live ior months
vet, as men suffering from this disease hye
zone, but DO not think there is any hope
mat he Will ever recover"
Gen. Grants condition was much improved
at last rep.nts. A constant stream OF car
riages drove up to his residence bringing
friends to whose inquiries the same answer
was given:
''ihe general is seriously i'll, but not in
much pain"
Nearly al; were denied admission to the
sick chamber. Among the few exceptions
were Hamilton Fish, Roscoe ConkIng and
Stephe', B. Elkin'.
Ar. G:ant, Fr Grant a, wife. ard Jesse
Grant are i'll cohssan. Attendance, and all that
is possible ls being done TO ailes ia.e the gen.
erals suffering.
Dr.. Sands says that while he regards the
generals maieiy as necessarily fa.ai, his e1-
traordinary will power may sustain him
longer than any ordinary man, and he. is
therefore unabls to estimate the time which
will e,apse bsgOre dissolution
