A deolJdcbnge for the worse took place in the condition of Gen. Grant on the afternoon ot Tuesday, Jnly 21, and it dawned upon the physician and family that the illustrious and long-suffering patient was sorely .inking. Shortly after one o'clock on the morning of the T-0. a hypodermic injection of brandy was administered, which had the effect of brightening htm an. The weakness continued throughout Wednesday, the sulferer'a nourishment conslsthi whmc f two chwt of milk. The hypo

Once during the morning the General at-

tempted to write, not sticceeaea oniy m wr.ung the date, the effort being greater than warranted by the li tie remaining strength. He spoke at intervals, but Us voice was Tery feeble. At 1:1 the membe a of the family and Or. Newman were grouped in the darkened room near Gen. Grant. Observing: the r evidence of feeltear the General said: I do not want anybody

to bediaijreaed on my account." at 5 p. m- the pulse was im. At :3u p. m. the bulletin was aent out that the General was sinking. At 7: V. S. Grant, Jr.. and Drs. Steady and Sands marhrrt Meant MacGrcnor hv si ecial train, and

Dr. Dooglaa aald that Gen. o rant could live but a few boars. Dr. Newman also said that the

Iher sptmtii us had grown shallow and the General was no longer able to expectorate because of the wcasnea, which was incases ng. At 8:36 a-m. I r. f-hrady was walking In frout of the cottage for tue purpose o obtaining setae fresh air. Col Grant appeared an ineeilv an 1 beckoned to him, when the Doctor sse-.nded th piazza and entered the sickroom.

His wish was not at th instant understood, and, turning a trifle further, the General repeated bis wish. The scene at the moment was a picture in shadows. As the flickering rays fell across the face of the General, it

A dark dressing-gown covered the vat ent's attenuated fo-m, and a handkerchief encircled his neck, Themrayof the close-cut beard seemed white, and the lmcs on cheek and forehead were d ep indeed, and when the face was turned upward to speak the eyes seemed grayer, too, and abnormally large. They were clear and steady, showing that the Generals reason waa dearly at his command, but there vb a wistfu' and vearning expression in

them. The General's face, as he spoke, appeared strained ani drawn, but its color and fnllnesj were not such as wonld be wrpeeted after such suffering and care. 1 ho lips moved heavily and the whisper was husky and low, but the nuise nndei stood and the r ad and pencil were brought Then, while the red light of the lamp fell on his downcast face, he wrote, but only briefly.

The family were all gathered at the side of the sick man. and again Dr. Newman, at about the same hour as last night, and at Mis. Grant's request, knelt beside the General and prayed.

From this time on his condition varied, at times allowing him to ride out, and at others confining him to his bed and causing great alarm in the family. He was attended by Dr. Fordvce

During the latter 1 art of January, however, the rumor gained credence that the rei oris of the medical journals upon his case had been decidedly rose-colored to allay the fears of the pnblic. It was made known, also, that his physical condition was completely shattered, and that the r Taction ot the tongue

had aeveiopea into s maugnans ana rotat w esse. From this time on he was only able to take liquid nourishment., with a few exceptional days, and he was unable to sleep save in nape. Besides the ulceration of the threat the tongue was painfully swollen and inflamed, and the patient suffered so from neuralgia in the head tnat most of bis teeth bad to be extracted. During all this time the General had been patient and Tmemnnlaiiiinff. and had worked everv day up

on ms mllltarv antooiograpny, scarcely Hjrpras to revise bin " oupy," for fear he would not live to finish th - work.

Be was able to take frequent drives in the park, which did him great good. About this time It was announced that if tue improvement continued he would go away to the

mountains, and also that he would, 11 r ossicle, take a trip to California. Ap'il 27 he celebrated his t'Jd birthday by a drive, and his physicians were jubilant over his improved condition. In May he resumed work on his book, dictating to his stenographer. Ho suffered considerably from the effort, but with frequent interruptions he continued the work. Hay 10,

he was note to want several oiocks witn tue assistance ot a cane, but three days later he was much worse, and it was feared the end was at band. He again rallied, however, and in

the beginning of June the drives were decided not to be beneoctal and they were discontinued. It was decided about the middle ot June to remove the pa lent to Mount MacGregor, and on June 16 he went

there in a special tram accompamea oy am family. The General stood the trip fairly well, and the succeeding day astonished his physician by walking to the top of a steep knoll. But the effort waa too much, and he suffered a relapse. At Mount MacGregor he has lived ever

Da Costa was seen again by Mr. Childs and asked whether the disease could be incipient cancer. The phyBf cian avoided a direct auswer. but repeated that the General should sec his family physician Immediately, in was not until alnx at the last week ia October that the old soldier thought it necessary to consult Dr. Barker. One of the first intimations that the public had of Gen. Grant s l.lness was when Mr. Childs Invited him to Philadelphia to a series of public receptions some rooii'ha later. The General dec ined on the advice of his physicians, and wrote in an explanatory letter dated Feb. t: "I am feeling quire well, except a soreness at tbe,root of the tongue ana the tonsil over it, which causes me great p in in talking, and espe laity when I attempt to swallow water. I have not smoked a cigar Since the 20th ot November." On Feb. 27 a telegram from New York, based on reliable medical authority, created general alarm among Gon. Giut'a friends. It said: "It ia a fact that should no longer be concealed from the country that uen. Gr,mt is rapidly breaking own, and apparency without hope of reaction, and nolens there should tmsome unexpected re ief he will not be long among the liv

The more recent history of Gen. Grant's disease, and the suti'erings of tho illustrious patient, are too familiar to the newspaper reader to require rehearsal here.

General Grant's Magnanimity. A story of Gen. Grant's magnanimity ia told by Dr. Whitfield, one or the Confedorato surgeons captured at Vicksbnrg. One evening Gen. Orient invited him into his private office rod handed liim a small piece of paper, which he asked him to keep. He read what the (.ener.il had just written uron it and then handed it back, w.tii th' remark that perhaps he had misandrstood his conversation. "1 do not." said Suigeon Wtitflelrt, "Intend to abandon the SouLherii a my On tne contrary, , as s on as I ant c'.obanged I shall assume my professional place." ''I understand that," said Gent Grant, "but yon may bo captured and recaptured, falling into tho bauds of very cough men, and your ; ptlvtty may not be as agreeable to you as It has oocu le re. I want you to keep that paper. It will l-e of service to you iu jaee ) on ere again takcu piisouer." Then the old Doctor showed the r-olicltor ' ionera! what Grant bad given Mm, which was- an order to all officers ot the Union army to admit him -at any time within our lines to come to General Grant's headiiuarters. "X was captured several times " sal t the Do. tor. "jn-t as General Grant bad predicted, and upon showing tut slip of paper I was invariably treated as a guest and not as a prisoner.

Grant transported his forces over tne same roaa, surrounded that tort, and Feb. 14, as soon as the gunboats had como up the river to co-operate with him, began the attack upon the rebel works. The battle was severe,' and ended Feb. 16 in the unconditional surrender of the Confederate forces under Gen. Bnokner. Grant was commissioned Major General of Volunteers from tbe date of that victory, and immediately aohfevod national fame. Gen. Halleck, however, was prejudiced against him at this time, and used his utmost endeavor to deprive Grant of the honors of the Donelson vict ry, giving the credit of it in his report to Gen. (.!. F. Smith, Grant's second in command. The Government, however, had perception enough to understand the trnth and to give Grant his w ell-deserved promotion. Whether from irritation at this act

of the Secretary of War or other motive is not

known, nut uen. uaticck immedia eiy began preparations lor an expedition into Tennessee, the command of which was given to Gen. Smith, and Ger Grant for alleged disregard of orders was placed under airest After a few days, however, be was freed from this roftraint, and again joined his command, with headquarters at Savanna, Tenn. Gen. Fml h hod camped with the troops at the point where the battle of Sh loh was aft' rward fought, near Pittsburg Landing, on the west bank of the Tennessee Biver, some miles a'.jovo tr'avanna. There Gen. Smith was taken ill with a sickness from which be never recovered, and Gen. Grant was placed

In chief command. At daybreakof April 0 the camp at Pittsburg Landing was attacked by a large force under Gen. A. S. Johnston, and driven back with heavy loss. Gen. Grantspeedtly arrived on tbe field of battle and reformed the lines. He-enforcements under den. Buell coming np in the night, the battle was renewed the next morning, and the Confederates wore defeated and forced to retreat to Corinth. Gen. Grant was slightly wounded in this battle. It was one of tho most hotly contested fights of the w.t, and the losses on both sides were terrible. False reports concerning Grant s conduct In this battle were circulated, and for a lime the great General whoso military genius, however, bad not yet been fully shown -was under a cloud. Halleck loined the army a few davs after the fight atShlloh. and took personal supervision of the siege of Corinth. Dnrhig the fighting In that locality the next two months Grant w s loft In camp, though still retaining nominal command ot the Distiiot of West Tennessee. In Jnne he transferred his headquarters to Memphis.

Nashville, where he now placed ins ncauquar-

his eldet-t son, who was very tu. feu i ne wns 1 back at Nashville. March 1 Prcsid'nt Lincoln signed a bill passed bv Congress reviving the grade of Lieutenant General of the Army, and immediately nominated Gun. Grant for 1 he position, and March a the General received the order summoning him to Washington. He reached that citv March 9, received his commission at the hands of tho Ircsident, and March 17 issue ! Ids first generd order, dated at Nashville, as sum ng command of the ai miss of the TJni.ed Mates, and announcing that his hendonarters would be In tbe twin, and until further orders with the Army of the Potomac. March 48 he arrived at Washington again, and imniedlatclv began his preparations for the grand campaims which were to terminate the war At midnight. May a. Grant began the movement against 1 ichmond, crossing tbe Rapidan with tho Army of the rotomac. Ills force now numbered uu,"(W men. His first battle was that of the Wilderness, foncht May n, 7. The losses were terrible on both sides, bnt the results were indecisive. Lee retiied within his- mtrencliments, and Grant made r. flank movement on the left in the direction of Fpottsylvania Court House. Here followed from the morning of Mav 9 to the night 1 May )2 one of the

bloodiest struggles of the war, in which

the Union forces guinea some grouna, and captured one division, but made no impression on the defenses ol the enemy. Grant now made another movement to the leit,erossed the Pamunkey and brought his army before the almost impregnable rifle- pits of Cold Harbor. These he attacked on June 1, but was repulsed with terrible loss. Tho i ssault was renewed June 8, with even more frightful loss of lite, and the gaining of no advantage. Grant's losses in the campaign from the Rapidan to the James (May 3 to June 15) aggregated a total of 81.55 '; those of Gen. Lee were about 32,000. June is. Gen. Giant joined Gen. Butler's army at Bermuda Hundred and the combined force moved again on Petersburg. On Jnue 17 and 18 assaults were made on the Confederate intrenchments without effect. Lee's army retired behind the defenses, and by the latter part ot June Petersburg w s regularly besieged. Previous to this Grant bad ordered flanking movements by Gens, fcigel and MoCook, both of

which had failed. In the hope of drawing Grant a-vay from his position before Petersburg, Lee sent an army under Gen. Ilarly to raid Maryland and Pennsylvania. That Invasion caused

so mui halaim that in August uen. aueriaau was sent against Early, and in a series of fights, closing with th t of Oct. 19 at Middletown, completely defeated him and laid waste the entire vallev of the Shenandoah. During the summer, fall, and following winter. Grant Sressed the siege of Petersburg with varylg success. July 80 amine was exploded under one of tbe forts, and an assault was made, only to be repulsed with great loss. Aug. 18 a division of Grant's army seized the Weldon Railroad

and held It against severa tierce assaults ny tne Confederates, in which both armies lost thousands of men. After a hard-fought battle on the road south of Petersburg tho army went into winter quarters there, postponing active operations until spring, l eb. i", 1805, Gen. Sheridan again assaulted and defeated Gen. Karly's forces at Waynesboro, and then joined his commander-in-chief with his army, Tho battle of Hatcher's Run and Five Forks was fought from March 20 to April 1, resulting In the defeat of the Confederates and the capture of f.,oio prisoners. On the following day Giant ordered a general assault on the lints of Petersburg and the works were carried. On that night the army of Lee evacuated Petersburg, and the members of the Confederate Government also fled from Richmond, and April 3 that city, as well as Petersburg, was taken possession of by tho Union army. Tbe war lasted but a few days longer. Iiee retreated as rapidly as he could to the SouthweBt, hoping to Join the army or Johnston. Grant and Sheridan pursued and in' ercepted him, and, after making one or two ineffectual efforts to rally his brosien and demorali7ed army acainst. the victorious forces oi tho Federals, on April 9 hn surrendered to Grant at Appomattox Court House.

The fireplace is surmounted by a wooden mantel, and is faced bv an ornamented sheet-Iron front, which has escaped any serious defacement or injury all these vears. The most notable feature, hbw.ver, is the chandelier, which is tbe same that lighted the memorable bridal festival. It is a very unique affair la bronze, with three hnmers aid three supporting rods.

They were hooted and atoned by the strikers. Deputy "Superintendent McManon gave the order to fall ir , and a line was formed about thirty feet from tae mill gate. The mob approached, and McMihon asked what was wanted. One of the leaders replied that they were determ ned to cloie the mill. The officer arguocl with them, but :o no purposa. The men in the rear rank began ts threw stones ; there was considerable hard talk, a push forward, and then a rush. Thepolico advanced, and the two forces met.

The mob broke and run, so hari. was it pushed, but the police kept upon their track until every striker was driven out of sight of the mill.

GRANT'S POLITICAL CAREER. The Chief Events of His Two Terms as President. At the Republican National Convention held in Chic go May 21, 188s, ien Grant on tho fir-t ballot was unanimously nominated for ircsident, with Schuyler Coliax for Vice President. Their lletnnerntin onmnetitnrfl were Horatio

fceymour and Franeh. P. Man-. Grant and Colfax curried twenty-six Stales, and received 214 electoral votes, against 80 for Seymour and Blair. Grant was inaugurated President on March 4. lsim, and on the next day sent in to the Senate the following nominations for Cabinet officers: KllhuB. Washbnrne, of Illinois, Secretary of State; Alexander T. Stewart, of Ivew York, Secretary of the Treasury; Jacob D. Cox, of Ohio. Secretary of thti Interior; Adolnh E. liorie, of Pennsylvania, Reorctary of the Navy; John M. Scholicld. oi IllHois. Secretary of War; John A. J. Creswell, of Maryland, Postmaster G. neral; E. Hockwood Hoar, of Massachusetts, Attorney General. These nominations were at once confirmed, but it was eUscov red that Mr. Ktowart was disnnalifiod bv an act Ot 179.

which provided that no person should hold the office of Secretary of t,Se Treasury who waa "directly or indirectly et neerned or interested in carrying on tho business of trade or commerce. Tbe Presiden-;, In a briei message, thereupon suggested to Congress that Mr. Stewart be oxempted by jol.it resolution from tho action of tLc law. Tjis was objected to, and Mr. htewart declined, and George S. Houtwoll of Massachusetts was appointed In his stead. Soon afterward Mr. Washt urue gave up tbe o!' fito of Sotre.ary of State, being appointed Mfnlster to trance, and was succeeded by Hamilton Fish, of New Vork; while Secretary Bohofiild retired from tho ar Derartment, and was suoeoceed by John A.
