OAENING UP THE HOUSE.
As the fog lifted with the rising sun the
home OF Gen. Grant seemed 10 assume a
cbeeuar aspect. The windows were
raised TO admit the warm spring-like air,
and the lace draperies at the windows
lifted and fluttered in the slight breeze
that stirring Dadaefpiayc bo
passed through the street stopped to in
Quire how the General was. When told
that be was much stronger and much i'm
proved they could at first hardly credit
the report, but when convinced they
turned away or proceeded with pleased
utteranees. At 9:20 O'Clock DR.. Shrady
left the house and went to his home. AS
he came down the steps he said: "The
General is first rate as compared with
yesterday"

DIS clothes of in a week.
