A gentleman who spent two hours with one of
the Grant family to-day confirmed tonight the
statement that General Grant passed worse
morning than is indicated in the bulletin.

day." he said. vt wasn't particularly danger
Gus, but it caused some alarm among the fami-
ly. Col. Fred Grant, who next to the physi-
clans, understands his fathers condition better
than any one, sent quickly for Dr. Shrady.
That is the reason why he returned to the
house three hours before he intended to
when he left There has been too much
morphine used in easing the Generals pain, and
the only result has been to create continual
craving for it by him. His life has been pro-
longed thus far by dosing him with this drug,
and, now that it is beginning to lose its effects,
he must begin to fail The doctors are just
realizing what they have been doing and while
not deliberately making statements that are not
warranted by the Generals real condition. they
neglect to communicate to the public a great
many incidents that would put a different light
on the situation Their failure to incorporate
the state Of the Generals mind when he awoke
this morning, in the bulletins, is an evidence of
this.
General Grant continued the gentleman,
''is existing on morphine, and for my part
think it is time a protest was raised against
keeping him in such a state. He is sleepin z
under its influence both day and night / know
of my experience that people go in and out of
that room and talk to him without his recogniz-
ing them. When he is spoken to sometimes
while he is seated in his chair he will look at the
speaker with vacant, unconscious stare, and
close his eyes without uttering a word. He sits
for hours and never speaks to those about him.
He talks to himself constantly, and generally
about the war. Almost every battle that he has
ever directed has been gone over while he is in
this semi-delirious state and he calls his old Off

ago His work on his war history has probably

dreamy semiconsciousness, during which he
might, and often did, recur in broken sentences
to creams that had been extremely vivid during
the influence Of the anodyne. A casual caller IN
the room might catch such disjonted utterances
and regard them as an evidence of delirium, but
those who were with the General from the be-
ginning Of his awakening to the time the infiu-
ence passed off entirely would be able to follow
and fully understand the context and relation of
the Generals uttsrances.
THOUGHT HE WAS CALLING ON HENDRICKS.
Colonel Grant stated that before morphia was
used his father often talked in his Sleep or semi
consciousness. For instance, at one time he
spoke in this way and said: General Wheat,
which is your regimentl Where are your men"
and Colonel Grant explained that at that time
his father thought he was at the battle Of
Shiloh, for General Wheat was there, and
General Grant thought he was getting the forces
in line again This was before morphia was ad-
ministered to a great extent. Since the
anodyne has been used freely, the General
has had similar illusions, but while
recalling them during the dreamy repose of wax
ing from sleep by mcYphia, the recollection is
not so prompt or vivid. A case in point was
mentioned by Colonel Grant. The influence of
the opiate was passing off, on Friday or Satur
day, when the General calculated: Its the
strangest thing in the world" and there stopped,
but at intervals continued to speak until he had
thoroughly awakened and was. the Colonel
said, clear as bell Then the General explained
to Colonel Grant that he thought he was out in
Indiana and was calling at the house
of Thomas A. Hendricks Then he
began awakening, and slowly recognized the
furniture and fittings of his own house, where in
his dream he had seen those OF Mr.. Hendricks's
residence, and then it was that. between sleep
ing and waking, the General had CALCULATED sit
is the strangest thing in the world"
Colonel Grant, when asked last evening if it
was possible to secure the Generals autograph,
replied that it was an impossbility at present,
and feared it was too late. The General never
writes except sitting at the desk in his Office,
and it was growing more and more
wearing to walk to and from tho adjoining
rooms. Colonel Grant remarked that he
had at least 500 pictures and albums waiting
for his fathers autograph There were ad
dressed and stamped letters bearing requests,
enough to fill a dry goods box, but Colonel
Grant doubted If his father would sign anything
more, though no might, if asked, and permitted
by the doctors.
At 10:45 Rev. DR.. Newman left the house, and
proceeded toward Madison avenue to take car

ssTo compare General Grant with
other great military leaders of the
world" said General Sheridan some
days ago, "would necessitate extend
ed argument. Warfare during Gen
eral Grants military career was es-
sentially different from that of other
times and people. The munitions
were not of similar character, and
most of the battles were different.
The circumstances of place and con-
ditions were not the same. General
Grant was a military enigma. He
overreached public opinion. He went
far beyond the expectations or hopes
of his admirers. He agreeably dis
appointed his friends. He accom-
plished everything that he undertook
without any prior profession or mer-
it. He was man of no sort OF de-
gree of egotism, but, with charm
ing and courageous modesty, forced
opportunities and worked out sue
cess from the most intricate combi-
nation of circumstances.

BUTTER MARKET.

The butter market pursues the even
either demand or price. Some dealers af-
firm that trade is slower than last week,
while others say they think it is little
better, but all agree that prices are just
about the same. This means that the
finest Northern creamery cannot be
bought under 10 or 20 cents per pound,
though if round lots were forced off they
could not realize over 10 cents. Second
class creamery, which is good enough for
present use, can be bought at 16 to Is
cents per pound. This includes most of
the Western make that comes in on COM
mission. Several well known Western
brands are held on a par with the North
ern, and are jobbed out at 90 to 20 cents.
Nobody expects this grade of butter to
be any lower this season, and the chanc
es are that it will soon be higher, as the
Elgin dispatch reports sales at about
quarters of cent higher than last
week. The difference between dairy and
creamery is widening, and is now about
cents per pound in favor of the latter.
Most of dairy lots are selling at Is to 16
cents per pound, with 1611a to II cents
as the extreme for the finest Vermont.
The hot weather has damaged a consid-
cradle portion of the dairy receipts, and
for this grade buyers make their own
price. In fact, when the best grades are
passed, no prices can be given, as it is
only once in a great while that buyer
can be found. Substitutes are taken in
preference, and it would be better for
farmers to keep their poor stuff at home.
There was a time when common butter
at 8 to IL cents per pound could be sold
as quick as offered, but that time has gone
by. Nobody wants it now. The export
trade shows very little life. Advices from
abroad are not encouraging, and while a
few orders can be filed with prospect
of some margin, nobody wants to venture
shipments on commission. Receipts here
and at New York have accumulated con-
siderably, but holders say that it is bet.
ter to keep the stock here than to send il
off to be sacrificed. Journal.

is much the most work for the de-
partments. Innumerable reports are
called for. and business of all kinds
is brisk. Clerks who can be easily
spared in August are often absolute
" indispensable in December. The
whole matter of leaves should be

The committee appointed by the
secretary of the treasury to investi-
gate the affairs of the coast and oe-
odetic survey will inquire into the
general management Of the bureau

the funds and keeping the accounts.
They were busy at the work all day
yesterday, and they expect to be
ready to report within a week. The
report made by first auditor Chenow-
eth, upon which superintendent Hill
gard was suspended, and four of his
assistants absolutely dismissed, will
not be made public until the investi-
CATION by the committee has been
completed. The chief officials con-
cerned in the matter are reticent !;
but it is known that the charges
made by Mr.. Chenoweth are strong
and emphatic, and that otherwise the
sudden suspension of Prof. Hilgard,
the superintendent, and the summary
dismissal of his four assistants would
not have been made so promptly.

Malone, N. T., jane 9Th.
Mr.. Editor,-I again take up my

should have said in my last letter,
that Malone is the home of Ex-Vice
President, VIM. A.. Wheeler. Three
years ago when the M. E. Con-
ference met in Malone and Chaplain
McCabe, who attended in behalf of
the Church Extension was speaking
and singing with the pathos he always
commands, urging the people, by pre-
senting the cause SO ably and tender
ly, he touched many hearts. and
among others Mr.. Wheeler's, who at
the close of the service very cordial
ly invited the chaplain to dine with
him at his home. McCabe accepted
the invitation, and as he did so said
to one of his friends, SIT will cost
him something" When he met the
brethren in the afternoon service he
carried 81, 900 in his pocket, a do
nation from Mr.. Wheeler in behalf
of Extension but he sent note to
Mr.. McCabe begging him to leave
town at once, lest by his persuasive
powers he should bankrupt Malone.
