New YORK, April 23.-Gen. Grant and
the colOred nurse Harrison are having hard
time with the doctors, according to the New
York Morning Journal. 1t says: DR..
Douglas was awakened at an early hoHT
by fly crawling with heavy feet over the
window pane, and continued restless for
some time. Gen. Grant sat by his side and
smoked cigar, while Harrison gently
famed DR.. ShrOdy with feather. At 7:10
Gen. Grant issued this bulletin:
''Dr. Shrady laughed twice this morning.
This we regard as bad sign, and have
placed him upon feather bed so that if he
sneeZes the shock will be broken. DIR.
Douglas is cheerful. He ate a toothpick
for breakfast, and intimated to Harrison
that he would like to whistle Sweet Vio-
let's He was at once drugged with
morphine" At 9:12 o'clock a seedy-look-
ing man, dressed in tattered garments, and
whose uncombed hair hung upon his shoul-
ders, hobbled up to the Grant residence
and leaned heavily upon his staff. He told
the cook, who came to the basement door,
that he had walked all the way from Ga
lena to see DR.. Shrady. He was given a
hearty breakfast by
THE SYMPATHETIC COOK.
Then he braced up, threw the staff away
and walked swiftly toward Sixth avenue,
saying: That Galena racket is immense. /
will now inform the tramps' union
of my success" Gen. Grant read
newspapers and smoked several cigars.
Harrison looked after the physicians, and
issued this bulletin upon his own response
bility at 11:13 a. IN: ''Dr. Douglas is less
tractable. A window being open in the
house across the street he complained of the
draught, and Gen. Grant went over and re-
quested it to be closed. DR.. Shrady scratched
his head at 1O:41, and exhibits other signs
of returning health"
Both doctors woke up at noon and as
tonished Gen. Grant by a request to be
taken for drive through Central park.
With the perversity of sick man, DR..
Douglas insisted upon
A TEAM OF GOATS
being hired for the occasion. He was rea-
soned out of this idea by Gen. Grant.
At 2:11 p. m. the two doctors were ten
derly carried down stairs by Harrison and
Gen. Grant and lifted into q carriage
which was waiting. People turned to look
at them as they drove slowly along the main
drive and small boy irreverently shouted
Look at de skeletons from de dime mu-
scum" After an hour or two they were
conveyed back. They showed a decided
improvement in their condition and the
general remarked that he would pull them
through if it took all summer.
Policeman O'Flannagan told visitor
who called at All p. III. that Douglas had
been
GIVEN AN 'ANECDoTE'
and the visitor said that it served him right.
Things were quiet during the evening and
except the noise of an ambulance driving
up to carry away an exhausted reporter,
nothing of interest transpired. At midnight
Gen. Grant went to bed and Harrison hung
this bulletin out of the window with car
die behind it: The doctors are convalesc-
ing. They are now arguing upon the sub
ject of Who discovered pimples,' and DR.
Shrady stood up for half a minute unaided.
Drs. Sands and Barker are in perfect ac-
cord with my treatment of this case, and /
