MT. McGREGoR, June 2l. -.nGenera,
Grant has slept nine hours since he re.
tired last night. lie is now being
dressed andI viii be out soon,n said
Dr. Douglas as he chatted with caller
nt the Grant cottage between IL and
o'clock to-day, The doctor further ex.
planned that, though the general went
10 bed a little after g O'clock last
night, he did not sleep ursIl about III
O'CLOCK. From that time throuQ hout
the night tho patient had slent
well, with few breaks
OF wakefulness, and the doctor
had not been called until Z O'clock
this morning when he cleaned the
generals throat aud applied cocoaine
70 ~, Az that time the generals voice
lau peen clearer than at any time since
his arrival here. When the doctor was
called at O'Clock the patients pulse
was Us, but after he had become thor
oughly aroused by the Doctors work.
ing over him, his pulse increased four
bea.s per minute.
The general remained In his.bed of
chairs all through the forenoon, II
was after midday when he got up and
lt was after l O'clock when he made
his appearance on the piazza. He
wore a new suit which he donned
yesterday and seated himself In a will
low arm chair, when caller mt this
tlme asked the physician how the pa
tlont found himself when he arose,
lie was told that the general was de-
cldly better; that all the symptoms
were OF decided improvement over
yesterday. The generals voice was
not so clear as II was when he awoke
III the morning, but was quite audible.
After listening 10 minutes TO cOnyersa-
tion between members of the family
tho general walked into room used
as an office, took up a pad of paper, re-
turned TO his char, put on his specta-
cles and began writing. While so an
gagged the family was called In 10
lunch, and the doctor frst having
wrapped blanket around the pa,
tients legs went up to the hotel to his
lunch. General Grant was thus left
alone on the piazza and he wrote
steadily for three-quarters of
an hour, until 2 O'clock, then
he handed his pad and manuscript to
Harrison, who took them in
side. Another block of war
history had been prepared for
insertion at the proper place in tho
generals memoirs, When the little
mountain engine pulled its two little
cars up from Saratoga, at 800 d, M,
and unloaded 100 people upon the
plato IN of the little rustic depot ON
the top OF the mountain, General Grant
was sitting upon the cottage stoop.
The visitors strelled up the slope past
the cottage IN procession OF twos and
threes. An impulse was obeyed 10 ga
lutte the general with lifted hats, and
he, pleased TO SOC visitors who do not
talk to him and tire him, removed his
silk hat several times from his head
with arm flouriBhes and returned the
greetings. The old guard, Willets, In
Grand Army uniform, stood at the
foot OF the steps TO prevent rnduly Gu.
rious persons from crewdinR near or
speaking TO tho general.
Black clouds had drifted over the
mountains In the morning and rain
fell briskly for ten minutes, but In the
afternoon the sky was mottled with
spaces OF sunshine and the pleasant
breeze blowing was made fragrant by
the odors from the pine trees and hem
locks. The general, though coughing
q tritie more than yesterday, was
having peaceful Sunday, quite diff
ferent from that which he spent In the
super'heated city week ago.
