MT. McGREGoR, July 23.-At7 O'Clock
last evening as the three physicians were
at dinner, Harrison called DR.. Douglas,
who went at once and alone to the cottage.
Soon afterward another messenger sum-
moned Drs. Shrady and Sands, aud they
repaired to the cottage closely followed by
DIR. Newman. They found the General
evidently sinking and restless. would
you like to lie down, farther" asked Col.
Fred Grant, who noticed his restlessness.
The General nodded, and at the same mo-
ment essayed to rise unassisted, but the
effort was too great and he sank back into
the chair. The Colonel and nurse aided
him to arise, and supported him to the
bed, where he was carefully lowered to q
resting position, partly on his face. The
belief is that Gen. Grant has at length laid
down to die. DR.. Newman, at Mrs. Grants

months ago to-day that Gen. Grant walked
into DIR. Douglas Office TO seek his pro-
fessional aid for cancer. That has done
what foes and war could not. The Gen.
eral answered eyes," and mo" to several
questions. At 9 O'Clock the pulse was up
TO 165 beats to the minute, aud iuttering.
About this time he sank into a sleep that

in q slightly better condition than two
hours ago, and q%uieter. From the present
condition, which borders upon the lethar-
gic state, the patient may quietly drift
into Inconsistencies. During the evening
the extremities of the sick man had been
cold, and these invisible symptoms are the
signs that nature puts out when death Is
chilling the powers. He seems suffering
no pain. though the lines Of his face are
tersely drawn and the burrows of his brow
are knitted. At IL O'Clock he was not
asleep. His hands and forearms were
colder thar two hours before, but his fees
were not so much so. The patients
mind was yet clear and comprehensive OF
the events and utterances about him.

the pulse so rapid as not to be counted.
Hypodermic injections of brandy, which
have been quite freely administered dur.

effect.

the cause or STAY the results OF the disolu'
ton which began Tuesday evening and had
been progressing steadily though grad

q~uently given TO stimulate the tagging

physical forces were 80 far spent as to fur
nish no footing for rebound. Indeed, the
efforts of the medical mel we're being
made because none could stand by inactive
and without the trial Of an expedisnt that
might prolong life an hour or a few minutes
The physicians thought the patient might
reach the extreme ebb of his strength at ]
O'Clock this morning, and the approach OF
that hour was anticipated with intense
anxiety at the cottage. II passed, however.
and the General, lying upon his back, and
propped by two pillows, lay upon the col

and more imminent, The feeble pulse'
beats had worn themselves by their rapid
ity TO a futtering throb that could not be
puaged beneath tho fingers of the physi'

its own lie currents, so rapidly was its
coursing veins. Repeatedly the brandy
was entered beneath the skin OF the Gen
