when Grant first realized the fact that he
had to die. 1T was at the office of DIR
Douglas in New York" said he. You Know
Dr. douglas was a specialist who treated
Grants throat. The time was once when
he had called at DIR. Douglas office Gen.
Grant had just had an examination of his
throat. He feared cancer. and he asked Dr.
Douglas If he could assure him that there
was no danger in this respect. The doctor
told him that he could not be positive but
that he hoped to be able to cure him. 1t
was then that Gen. Grant realized that he
mad TO die He said. If you think that
way, doctor, there is no hope for me-
AS we drove away he told me not to tell
anything to his family about it. but he
rallied from that time. No one will ever
know the terrible pain that Gen. Grant
mad He often walked the floor all night
but he never told his family. When they
asked in the morning how he had rested
ne would say, pretty WELL and he tried to
be cheerful. L never knew him to lose his
temper. He worked right along to finish his
book. and he was happy when II was done

something the same was told me by
Grants stenographer and private secretary

name was Mr.. n. E Dawson one of the
ablest shorthand writers in the United
States, and man who has probably had
more friendships with the great men of
the country than any other. He served I'M

secretary for some years before he died He
has during the past summer been connected
with the worlds fair Offices at Chicago. He
spoke to me in the highest terms of Gen.
Grants kindness during his last days. He

that Grants voice grew weaker and weak

and at the last he had to take his seat very
close to him and the general whispered the
words IN his ears while he took them down
In shorthand. After a time his voice failed
altogether, and he wrote the last part of
his book on slips of yellow MANILA paper
and handed them over to Mr. Dawson to

To any one familiar with arctic work 1t
Is not necessary to point out the tremen-
uous advantage which shall enjoy in
thls respect over previous expeditions of
boating and sledging character. We print
herewith sketch showing fifteen men of
the Jeanette expedition pulling and hauling
away for dear life on single boat The
small boats of that expedition, though some
what larger than ours, weighed from $500
~ DOW pounds without anything in them.
Ihey were English boats, bought with the
PANDORA and retained ON board when that
crait was reChristened Jeanette and sent

little craft OF aluminium When ne went over
to Baltimore to see them few days ago
aluminium surf boats in the life-saving
service are things of the near future.
The Record of IA Gallant Craft.
1t is a tremendous advantage, not only
upon the ice we shall find 1t, but in the
surf, to have a boat that is not too heavy.
The American surf boat is superior to the
English life boat which has been cele-
brated in song and story, chiefly on ac-
count of it's lightness, which enables her
crew to handle her quickly in heavy seas.
W lille an English life boat weighs from
three to four thousand pounds. an Ameri-
can surf boat weighs only 500 or 1000
pounds. Superintendent Kimball tells US
these surf boats have in eighteen years
been launched $3.50 times in actual serv-
ice and have landed 6, 1876 persons from
wrecked vessels. In all this service, nearly
every launching through rolling surf.
they have capsized but fourteen times.
Six of these capsiZes were attended by
loss of life. the number of persons perish
ing being forty-one. In thirty-two years
the self-righting and self-bailing life boats
of England were launched in actual service
5000 times and there were forty-one cap
sizes. by which lightweight lives were
lost. These figures, as well as others
which could be presented, are in favor of
the American surf boat as the most sue
cessful life-saving craft of the world, and
there is no room for doubt that in our
model, as in our material, we have chosen
wisely.
Charles S. Rossiter & Co. of Baltimore
have built these boats. and they have done
their work we'll On inspection few days
ago the craft were found trim and tight.
Carried from the shop into the sun they
shone like silver and resembled works of
the jewelers. rather than the boat builders
art. To the members of the expedition,
with tie hummocks and ice fields Of the
north in their minds eye, IT was pleasure
to see two men easily pick up one of the
boats and move along with it. A lady of
the party had no difficulty in raising one
end of the craft clear of the ground. Four
men carried the heaviest boat a consider
able distance with only such hold as they
could get with their hands. greatly to the

been accustomed to seeing boats of wood or
