The Dead At The Final Moment. | MT. McGREGoR, July 26.-To-day on the
 mountain has been cool and quiet. There
 have been some visitors and a few prominent
 arrivals. Among them were General Horace 1 Porter and the Japatese minister Kuki. The 1 guard of honor from U. s. Grant post, G. A. R., of Brooklyn, arrived to-day and began 1 their duties at once. Two of them attend
 constantly inside of the cottage. These two | are on duty three hours. The Wheeler post, | which came to the cottage first, will remain and patrol the cottage on every side. Grand 1 4rtdy veterans representing Maine, New 1 Hampshire, Vermont; Connecticut, New l York. Michigan, Wisconsin and New Mexico
 are also camped on the mountain. General l Hancock has ordered a company of infantry 1 from Fott Porter, near Buffalo, to come to l the mountain to act as psrt | of the guard of honor. Colonel | Grant and General Horace Porter leave | to night by special train for New York. | They will arrive there at 7 8. m. and confer 1 with Mayor Grace and General Hancock con- corning the details of tic funeral rites. Gen. efal Porter was. to-day shown the plaster
 mask of the dead general which was made soon after he died. He examined it closely
 and expressed himself well pleased with it. The message from Albert, the White House | coachman, who wishes to drive the hearse, is as follows
 EXECUTIVE MANSION. WASHINGTON. General Horace Porter-AS the dear generals
 old coaehman for years can you not aid in arrang. the funeraI2 I want to do something in his honor and would like to do that

 General Horace Porter in speaking of Gen. eral Grant said to-day: 'I think that Gen eral Grant was the readiest man in an efner- gency that have ever seen. As an instance, on the night of the second day of the Will derness fight when Sedgwick's corps had been broken and affairs extremely crit ical, General Grant sat in his headquarters and listened to the fast coming reports of disaster and trouble and gave his orders with as much precision, coolness and judgment as though he had been studying that particular situation for two months I never saw him angry but once and that was when hs saw 8 soldier clubbing horse over the head. He seized the man and told him he was brute and had him properly punished. I never heard him utter an oath or an approach to it. He was gifted with an endurance that the members of his staff called phenomenal and which the world is now beginning to realize I have known him to ride
 
 rain and come in with freshness that put younger men to the blush. He was man who never winked at the shriek of flying shells or bullets and one of only two men ever saw who would not involuntarily do so. The other was a bugler. General Grant was another Rip Van Dam, 8 man of the people. 1t is sad that with the ri pc years before him such man should be taken and think the loss will be more appreciated by the people as time goes on."
 Colonel Grant started for New York to- night with General Porter. He will meet General Hancock and Mayor Grace and settle with them the plan of arrangements for the public ceremonies, which will date from the afternoon of August 4 when the body will leave the hill. It is the plain intention that until that time full control shall rest with the family, the services here being con- paratively of a domestic character. This will include the regular church services and an address by the Rev. Dr. Newman. It is now intended that this address shall be the only extended one at any time delivered be- fore the interment, Dr. Newman thinks that, considering the military control of the ceremonies in New York and the vast crowds that will be on hand on the day ol the in terment, addresses at that time will be use- less. He expects to perform only the church rites there.
 It has been 8 cool and charming day here with few visitors. General Porter was the only newcomer that saw the body. He was surprised to find that the hair showed so lit- tie gray and that the face was free from signs of suffering. Mrs. Grant is great sufferer. She has not left her room since the morning of the death and of course has not seen the body. She is so prostrated that the family will make no attempt to get her to look at the body until after Wednesday when it will be placed the casket MT. Hon ore, the brother-in-law of Colonel Grant, is here to do what may be asked of him. The Japanese minister came to-day bringing con- dolences. Wheelerspost, which is on guard at the cottage, has been reinforced by de- tail from U. s. Grant post of Brooklyn. The new detail comprises one of Sheridans scouts and the man who was sergeant of the guard that carried Lincoln's body from Ford's The atre to the house ill which he died. Com mander McNair, of Saratoga, has loaned to Comrade Downing, of Wheeler post, piece of crape which was worn at the funerals of Lincoln, Farragut and Garfield. It has been put on MT. Downing's sword.
 Saratoga people are still anxious that the body shall lie in state there. General Han cock to-day telegraphed that he could not vary the order of the journey to New York already announced and the rem aims will go direct to Albany.
 Grants Kindness to a Poor Widow.
 Dl. iOOIS, Culy SU.-1Ho ucftth oL SSACI- al Grant has revived another of his experi ences in St. Louis thirty-fve years ago. Scores of the oldest inhabitants were person. ally acquainted with him and several are now here who helped Grant to build the log house which he called ''Hard Scrabble" on account of the trouble he experienced in pro- viding for his family To illustrate one trait in the character of the man the follow ing story of him is told: Living Hard Scrabble was & widow with three children. One day after disposing of a load of wood in this city Grant learned that the widows house had been burned down. He sold the wood for $5, and though badly in need of the money himself, started a subscription with the $5 and going among his friends he soon had a fund of $100 collected, which he turned over to the widow. One of the gen. erals children is buried here and an effort was made yesterday by the Merchants Ex- change to induce the family to bring the gen. eral here.
