GENERAL GRANT.

His Condition Much Improved-He
 Day.
 NEW YORK, April 14.-Dr. Douglass said this afternoon when questioned about Gene ra1 Grants condition: ''The throat is exam ined by aid of an incandescent lamp which is affixed to the end of g small staff. The gen. erals exact weight is not known, but his body is somewhat wasted, the natural result of his long suffering and close confinement. The spasm of the glottis so much talked about is convulsive action of the top of the windpipe caused by the accumulation of mucus at that point. The action tends to close the passage, though not entirely To remove this mucus syringe charged with medicated and perfumed wash is employed. General Grant takes coffee early in the morning and it seems |. to agree with him. His food consists of con- densed beef and whipped raw eggs in milk The normal temperature is 90.6. A temper ature marking 101 is not alarming except it be intimately connected with other imnedi- ate troubles. When the thermometer marks 105 great danger is indicated and when temperature of 107 is reached death ensues Outside changes Of the weather In no wise affect the patients condition or health as the room is kept at temperature not varying degree either way from 70. General Grants head is never bandaged, though he generally wears a white handkerchief around his neck. The lump on the throat outside of the glands near the ear is closely allied to the inside trouble, growing larger or smaller. Two days ago it was very large, to-day small The size of the lump may be taken as a fair indication of the patients health"
 Among the callers on General Grant to- day was General John c. Fremont.
 MIDNIGHT-General Grant during the after noon and evening walked several times from his bedroom to his library and enjoyed the company of different members of his family At ten o'clock he retired and has since been sleeping in his chair. His cough is not troublesome and the secretion of mucous is slight. His pulse and temperature are un- changed and there is at present promise for him of quiet night.

 Preparations For Host1lities Still In
 Progress-Russian Troops Allowed
 To Cross Persian Territory.
 toNboN, April i4-1n the House of Com mons this evening, MT. Gladstone stated that the reports of further advances by the Rus sian troops on Afghauistan had not been con firmed and that he had received assurance from the St. Petersburg officials that the Russian officers now on the Kushk river and along the Afghan border had been instructed to abstain from making any further prepara- tions for forward movements. The announce ment was received with detisi7e laughter and efies of s'0h 0h,,'' from the Conservatives.
 Telegrams from St. Petersburg state that the Russian Mediterranean squadron has been ordered to the Baltic. This is interpre- ted to mean that Russia is making haste to move her war vessels to places of compara- tive safety before an actual rupture occurs between ths two goverhments.
 The members of the Cabinet were hastily summoned to meeting this evening by MT. Gladstone and remained in session fully eighty minutes. It is believed that the government is in receipt of further impor- 
 Kushk river. After the meeting Lord Gran vile held a ptottacted interview with Musu- rus Pasha, the Turkish ambassador, and Fehmy Pasha, the special envoy of the Sul- tan.

Lloyds' un- derwriters have advanced the pre- miums on vessels bound for ports in the Black sea, sea of Azof and Baltic to double the amounts ordinarily charged. War preparations are going on as actively as ever. from Bombay announcing that transport ar engagements for carrying troops and supplies to the Afghan frontier have been almost completed, including seventy thousand trans port animals heavily laden with stores and munitions of war which are now en route to Pishin. The harbor of Bombay has been laid with torpedoes. The one million car tridges from England have been received.

Laying Plans to Cross over Into New

 ST. JOHN, N. B., April 14.-A letter from the boundary line, Victoria county, states that there is ample evidence that the Fenians propose to invade New Brunswick this sum- mer. ''Here on the boundary" says the writer, ''the thing is openly discussed and made no secret. The meditated blow at New Brunswick will be struck when the military are in the Northwest A number of mysterious strangers have arrived in Aroos- took and NeH Brunswick this Spring, No person appears to know either them or their business. One of these has been making in quiries with reference to barraek accommoda- tions for one thousand men at Fort Fairfield and incidentally said that similar number were to be despatched to Houlton. None of the New Brunswick militia have yet been sent to the Northwest and it is extremely doubtful if they will, so that if any of our Fenian friends from across the border contem- plate visit we will endeavor to make it as interesting for them as possiblen

Pleasing Reminder. of Valued Men

Pleasing Reminders of Valued Men.
 A fine crayon photograph of Rev. Dr. Hawes, late pastor of the old North, now the United church, has just been added to the gallery of portraits, in the church chapel, of men whose names are specially dear to this church. It was executed by MT. Bowman, the photographer, from whose gallery so many portraits of distinguished citizens are issued. Among these portraits at the chapel are pictures of Deacon Atwater Treat, the builder of so many prominent edifces in the city, including some of the modern college buildings; of Deacon Isaac Thompson, who is still so well recollected in the city as being one of our most prominent builders and most upright and estimable Christian men, who with Deacon Treat lived to good and honorable old age; and last, but not least, the portait of Rev Dr. Cleveland whose name was so prominently identified with the old Third church as theolsgian, preacher and pastor, and whose portrait now hangs in the North church chapel in consequence of the union between the North and Third churches Another portrait at one time hung on the walls, but is not yet added, the friends not permitting, viz., an oil portrait of the late Deacon Nathaniel Jocelyn, who also lived to about four score and was widely and fav- orably known as & portrait artist of rare ability.
