The General Steadily Growing Worse.

New YORK, June 14.-Drs. Sands Shrady and
Douglas were present at the usual Sunday con-
sultation at General Grants house, to-day. DR..
Douglas said the General had suffered some little
disturbance during last night, the cause of which
was attributing to the eating of some asparagus,
but that he slept with little break from A. NJ.
to 10 A. NJ, and was not suffering to-day, though
feeling the heat. DR.. Shrady said the swelling
on the outside of the throat had increased and
had affected the patients voice. Col. Fred
Grant, after the consultation. said that his father
had a bad night, and that the General was grow
ing weaker, and that his condition now seems
to be one of increasing debility, without pain.
The Colonel added that, if possible, the General
would be removed from the city on Tuesday
next, one week earlier than was before intended.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL
NEW ANNOUNCEMENT.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL is rec
ognized everywhere as the leading newspaper
of Indiana. No proper expense is spared to
maintain this undisputed excellence and to
increase the value and interest of the paper.
THE JOURNAL was never so well equipped
to serve the public. Our arrangements for
the collection of the news of the day are more
complete than ever. and we have added some
special features which must enhance the pop
ularity of the paper.
THE JOURNAL is the only paper in In
diana that prints regularly the full reports of
the Western Associated Press, which are now
more comprehensive than ever, covering the
whole world. These dispatches are supple
mented by tt rk of special correspondents
at all the pal cities and towns Of the
State and Of ne country at large. We have
a special resident representative at Washing
ton City, who looks after the news of the ma
tional capital with vigilance, paying particular
attention to that which most nearly concerns
THE JOURNALS constituency. The full
est and most reliable intelligence from Wash
ington win be presented in our news columns,
free from party bias, impartialiy, and without
restraint.
.Editorially THE JOURNAL is a Republic
an paper, believing in the principles and
general policy of the Republican party; butt it
recognizes that the day of blind party organ
ship has passed, and it proposes to be perfectly
free to ~oriticise and condemn. but in a spirit
and with a purpose for good, having a proper
regard for personal rights and regulations.
The citizen, whatever his political faith, can
be assured of seeing in the columns Of THE
JOURNAL the fullest and fairest presentation
of the news, and in its editorial columns such
respect if they do not meet his approval. ID
may also be said that THE JOURNAL it
published as a FAMILY NEWSPAPER. Is
recognizes that the women and the children
are to be instructed and entertained. They
win always find in its columns matter special
ly prepared for them, while the paper win be-
so conducted as to prove a welcome visitor in
the household. TIE news will be presented
in such shape as to minimize the evil, and its
editorial and local columns win be kept free
from moral faint.
The Railroad News of THE JOURNAL is
admittedly the freshest, fullest and most ac-
curate printed by any newspaper in the
country.

The footsteps Of thy eighteenth year.
They come so fast, and go, and are no more:
These centuries of life, these years of youth,
And all we gain. when cometh on the last
Is some sweet glory and little truth.
But all thy years are tlowery, all have been,
oh, dear Companion Of the sunny days
When hand in hand we walked the ancient
streets,
And clomb the hills to seek the woodland
ways.
And still the fresh, cool pleasant breath of

BE gentle with him; let his path be flower
lined
And kissed with tender tokens of the beams
That DER the soul of Beauty, as it stands
Upon the tall green hills, before
The immortal splendor of the Master smile,
Are shed forevermore.
And shall take His hand and hold it long
And gaze into His face and in His eyes,
And read aloud the message written there -
The beautiful, glad message. of the skies.
No more a boy, old friend! The play-timc
hours are past
And manhood's sober days have come to
thee
God bless yon, give you honor, strength to
Sublime, ma jestic, as the ebbulant sea!
Thou shalt grow upward, if God wills it so,
Nor learn to falter, fail or fear;
Till thy life flows into the great beyond
Whence come the footsteps of thy eighteenth
year.
