A VERY BREEZY DAY.
CHILLY BLASTS ON MT. M'eREaon
Keep General Grant Indoors a Greater Part
of tho Day-ReltiDg Comparatively Easy.
AnInterea,ing Chat with Parson New-
man on tho Generals Inner Life.

Mr. McGRxaoa, N. y, June 22.-When
General Grant arose from his chair or
the piazza late yesterday evening he was
observed to ahrug his shoulders as though
he felt sudden, sharp pain about the
body. General, you are having touch
OF rheumatism" said DIR. Douglas, who
noticed the tlinching movement Of the
sick mans shoulders; "I believe we are
going to have q storm, for I feel the indi-
cations myself" Thus the doctor felt
able to understand the inability Of the
patient to sleep until 1o:S0P. N. He re-
tired between and o'clock. The night
passed away without the physician being
summoned to the sick room, although
several times before morning he heard the
rattling cough with which the General
clears bis throat Of secretions. Through
the early morning there were visible indf-
cations OF the rain OF which the General
had been forewarned by the rheumatic
pains. Finally at Z o'clock tho storm
passed over the mountain and for half an
hour the rain fell heavily upon the shiDgle
roof OF the cottage. Tie General was
awake, and at that time DR.. Douglass
dressed his throat. His pulse was then
72 and his voice quite clear, although the
Doctor had no thought that 1t would re-
Dr.. Douglas went to the hotel to break
fast at about s o'clock.
at is Just eight months to-day since
General Grant became my patient, re-
marked he, as he sat down at the table,
and then as he ate he told what he thought
OF the Generals condition. He said the
coming OF the storm had disturbed the
patient somewhat, but tie bright, bracing
air that followed the storm would be
charming for tho sick man. The General
had at that hour been in bed fourteen
hours, and during that time he had slept
nine hours. He had gone to sleep again
and the physician believed that he might
sleep another hour. AT about II o'clock
the General arose and seemed TO be re.
ireshed by his rest and frightened by the
cnol. clear air. -. 44as
