New York Special :-At quarter 10 ao,cloek
on Monday the family carriage drove up to the
house! Afew moments later Gen. Grant was
standing IN; the doorway. AS he advanced
toward the edge Of the stoops the crowd raised
their hats to hum, and he smilingly nodded in
recognition. Like bird stepping out Of its
cage he enjoyed the first moments Of his
the general stood in the fall glare Of the
midsummer sun inhaling the balmy lsreezes
Of spring that were waited over from the
park He was tightly wrapped His heavy
winter overcoat was closely buttoned over
suit Of dark cloth; and large red scarf pro-
tected his throat, He wore a tall silk hat
and carried a SMALL thin cane in his hand
As he walked down the steps it was evident
that nd wanted to conceal his weakness and
appear stronger. than he really is He gave
ms whole attention in getting to tho carriage
the party followed on behind him Tho gem
eral entered the carriage first, and after he
had seated himself comfortably the others
followed. AS they. drove away there was d
slight cheer from the crowd X Z
Ten dfant's appearance was disappointing
to those who had, inferred from the reports Of
his improved condition that physical gain
had also take place. He looks like q very sick
man vet The effects Of his long sickness are
plainly and distressingly apparent in his face,
ms body and his carriage. His short beard
white; the broad face Of years ago is now long
drawn out and thin, and he has
none OF the ruddy color that once character
ICED it It is in his way Of walking,
however that the change is more noticeable.
All traces OF his soldier-like bearing have dis
appeared His shoulders are stopped, and he
bends over like man approaching his Tooth
year. He walks slowly and carefully, and al
ways bears heavily on his cane. The drive
lasted about twenty minutes When Gen.
Grant reached his room he looked out Of the
\ window moment at the crowd When they
began to notice him, however, he disappeared.
