An Exaggerated report.

Mt. MCGREGoR, July 27.-RepOrts
which have been sent out in regard to the
condition of Mrs. Grant are unduly alarm
ing. She expects TO accompany the
remains to Albany, and no reason
Is known TO the family why she
should not do so. Mr.. Grant had not, until
the past few days, become convinced that
no remarkable cure was to be effected in
the generals case, as she had believed,
and when his death occurred
the effect of disappointed hope, combined
with the natural shock of her bereavement,
produced reaction from which she is not
yet recovered so as to enable her to mngle
as freely with the family as before
the generals demise. She is not
confined TO her bed, but on the contrary she
yesterday felt that she would like to de-
Scend TO the cottage parlOr and view the
generals remains. From this purpose,
however, Mrs. Grant was dis
the experience would further trouble
and depreSs her. She cannot be said to be
sick nor absolutely proStrated. There has
been reaction and no unusual prOstration
from the causes stated has followed. The
preservation of Gen. Grants remains during
the heated term for period of ten days is
matter of no little Importance. Two
days were occupied in the thorough em-
balming Of the remains, the cavities and ar
terieS heing supplied with embalming fluid
which displaced the blood as it was
introduced. In order that the present IA
vorable condition of the remains may pre-
served, the embalming fluid, now active,
will tomorrow be displaced and replaced by
another operation with fresh fluid. The
processes of absorption also render frequent
treatment of the remains advisable, if not
necessary. Among the messages of condol-
ence and suggestion. were the following:
WARRENsBURG, Ind, July 20. - Mrs. Gen.
Grant: In behalf of I50,0 900 members of the
Ancient Order of United Workmen IN the

L. A. PARSONS of Virginia.
Washington, ID. C., July 27.-Col. +. d.
