FOR breakfast ana the doctors were discuss
ing the patients chances ON the piazza Of the
cottage, Henry, the nurse, who was with the
general, stepped hnrrieily out Of tho sick
room, and going where the doctors were, in
formed them he thought the end was near,
The doctors hastily went to the room and at
n glance took in the situation. They quietly
ordered the nurse to summon tho family
at once
Mrs Grant, Jesse Grant and wife, U. S.
Grant, jr, and wife and Mrs. Col Grant in
stantly answered the summons. Mrs. Sar-
toris, noticing the doctors hurricdly going
TO the room, followed them, and was the
first member of the family present. Col
Fred Grant was now tho only member Of
the family absent, he having stroiled
around the grounds The servants were sent
in search OF him, but no entered tho sick
room before any one succeeded in bringing
him the news of his fathers approaching dis
solution.
Col. Fred Grant took a seat at tho
right side of the bed, placing his
left arm on the pillow above his
fathers head. Close by the bedside sat
Mrs. Grant intensely agitated, but bravely
suppressing her emotions, striving to DO
calm She leaned upon the bed with ono
elbow, gazed with eyes blinded with tears
into the generals face. There was, howev-
er, no sign of recognition in his pallid face.
He was breathing fast with slightly gasping
respiration
Mrs. Sartoris leaned on the shoulder OF her
mother and witnessed with pent-up emotion
the ebb Of life in which she had constituted
an element of pride Tho scene was quiet
one The general passed peacefully and
painlessly into another world
A little distance behind Mrs. Grant and
Mrs. Sartoris stood the three physicians,
Douglas, Macready and Sands, silent specta-
tors to the scene, which but for their efforts
would doubtless have occurred months ago.

the foot of the bed stood Mrs. u. s. Grant,
IT., and by her side Mrs. Col. Fred Grant
and Mrs. Jesse Grant These three gazed
down into the face OF the general, while
their eyes became suffused with tears. Tho
sad expression in their faces plainly reflected
the anguish of their feelings Now and then
they stole glance at Mrs. Grant, who with
bowed head was intently watching the face
Of her dying husband, and no word was
spoken The stiffness of tho room added to

learned that before Col Fred Graut went to
New York to select a site for the generals
sepulchre, Mrs. Grant requested him to
learn the wishes or opinions OF those with
whom he consulted on the subject, and IL
there seemed to be unaniinity ia favor of
any spot which the family had not consld
cred, to give such inclination due weight.
1t Is also known that the visit TO Watch Hill
was not accidental The spot was known to
Mrs. Grant and had been spoken OF favor
ably by her, though the favored locality
with oil this family was by the wall in Cen
trial park
When, therefore, tho colonel reported a
general impression among tho city authori-
ties in favor OF Riverside park, and added
ais own satisfaction with that site, the de-
cision was quickly and easily arrived ct.
