VIEW OF THE DREXEL COTTAGE, IN WHICH HE IS STAYING. f?V?

A Memorable, Pathetic Journey—West Point Gladdens Uti Eye*—"Mr Grant Is a Very ObstlnateMan" Still.

[Special Correspondence.)

SARATOGA, June 23.—Tuesday, June 16, a1 9 o'clock in the morning, Gen. Grant left hit home in East Sixty-sixth street-, New Yorli city, for the trip to Mt. MoGregor. He if to

stay

there

long as he feels like it—til]

August, they say—and then come down the udson to the Hotel Kaaterskill, in the CStd(lll mountains. At least that is the programme which it is hoped to carry out. The hidden fear that the general will not live to see the Hotel Kaaterskill in August, is in every breast, but it is not expressed.

The intention was to remove him June 2J but the invalid himself suddenly made up his mind that he would go at once. The doctors endeavored to argue him out of it. He was unusually weak, and they fearad he could not bear the journey. But he settled it himself by saying simply, "Nowor never." It is one more of thosa curt, terse speeches which will become historic. Perhaps, alas) it will be one of the last

Now, in his extreme weakness, every whim of the general is law to those nearest him. He has only to make a sign with his hand, a motion of his head, and that which he wants is done.

The journey to Mt McGregor was made at once. Joseph W. Drexel had built a cottage about 593 feet below the summit of the mountain. It is a picturesque two-story house among the trees.

TBI COTTAGE WHERE GRANT 8TAYIHO.

He gladly offered this pretty summer honks for the use of the invalid and his family while it should be their pleasure to nee it Mt. McGregor is in the edge of the Adirondack range, ten and a half miles from Saratoga. The way to reach It was devious and fatiguing. The Grant party took the train at the Grand Central depot, New York, and went to Albany. There another engine was attached to the general's train, and pulled it to Saratoga. That was the seoond stage in the journey. There the party had to change their cars to a coach of the little narrow gauge road that led up Mt Mc Gregor. That was the third and most difficult stage.

The scenes at the departure and during the journey were memorable. That which impressed itself most pathetically and powerfully on the memory of the bystanders was the indomitable will of the invalid. He put aside those who tried to assist him and descended the steps alone.

The general has become wasted to almost nothing during these torturing months. Hii clothing hangs as upon a skeleton. His only diet is a mixture of milk and beef tea. He is prat the point where he can swallow anything else. This food is given him faithfully every two hours by Harrison, the colored valet. In these later years he has usually worn a high silk hat, which has become rusty and shabby, but he clings to it and insists on wearing it, as he did the old private soldier's overcoat which covered him during the war. He lias a fancy for old clothes. When he came out from his door in Sixtysixth street that hot June morning he had upon his head this, same rusty old bat Hie lias become so reduced in flesh that even his head has wasted away. The old hat was far too large for him when ho put it on, and fell backward over his ears in a pitiful way.

A number of persons had gathered about the doorway to see him start—his neighbors, schoolboys who will tell their great-grand children how they saw Gen. Grant, and others. Workmen upon a building opposite paused in their noisy labors, and waited in respectful silence. Workingmen know when to be silent and respectful. Men stood by with uncovered heads while he went down the steps. He put his cane carefully before him at every step, and wavered feebly as he crossed th$ sidewalk. There were eyes that looked at it through a mist It recalled another scene. On Decoration day the veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic, Grant's own boys, marched past his house on their parade. The general sat at the win dow, smiling and saluting them feebly as they passed. The sight of their old commander, dying, was too much for them. Tears rolled down their brave cheeks, as though these stern men had been weak women or children so, again, teais came into the eyes of strong men as they watched him leave bis home. The one thought, still unexpressed, was in the minds of all: Would they ever see him alive againt

Vanderbilt's own car, sumptuously furnished, was put at his service. The two red leather chairs in which he has reclined so long went with him. He has not lain down for months. He cannot, because the swelling in his throat would choke him. He sits in one chair and puts his feet in the other. A baggage car, a special car for his children grandchildren, and the Vandarbilt coach, in which he travelled with his wif

Col. Fred, Dr. Douglas and attendants made up the train. It sped over the track, up the east shore of the Hudson, like a flying cloud As he left home the general fixed his eye upon Central Park. Did he wonder if he would ever see it again! He gave little heed

,{f

to 'any^ting till the triiifir sWept afouadf a grand curve and West Point suddenly burst into view on the opposite shore.

The landscape here is magnificent. Washington himself selected this hill for that which is its crown and gem, the government military academy. A glad smile broke over the general's pal* lips as he saw tho old brown riding-school building. What memories it brought back to him of a time more than forty years in the past Of that time he has since said: "War is abhorrent to me. I never wanted to bo a soldier, or desired to go to West Point I went because my father wished it."

But lie passad the Point in silence that June day, gazing out the window at the spot as loug as he could see it. He co'iM not have spoken it'he would. Some days-before .ho left New York he took a svere cold, the doctors said, which compleloly silenced his voice so that he could not be heard in a whisper. Tuere is a larga swelling on the outside of his neck now, so that he cannot wear his collar. Ahaadkerchie" is tlirowfi 'oose'y about his neck to h.de tho swelling,

Tho troiu made rapid time for Americas travel. It rushed to Albany, a distance of 153 miles, at the rate of nearly forty-eight miles an hour. At Saratoga, whore he changed cars, the members of Wheeler post, G. A R., mat their old commander, wearing their full uui'orm. They salutol him wiih tender respect a In made his way painfully to the narrow-gauge car. It «w»m«d a walking will and nothing else that went feebly across the platform and up the steps of the narrow-gauge car. With iron pride he wavad aside those who would have assisted him and went alone. It has always been his way to wait on himself. It makes hflnimcuwrim table services performed for him by others. It must hurt his pride moro than words can express to show himsolf so feeble before others.

The party were five hours making the journey to Mt McGregor. The Drexel cottage is about 400 yards from the little mountain station. Before Anybody noticed what he was about, Grant descended from the car and stubbornly started to walk to the cottage. He bad gone no more than quarter of the way, however, when his strength and obstinacy alike gave out, and ho beckoned for assistance. A wid^, comfortable cane bottomed chair was among the belongings that had been brought from New York. Two faithful attendants were immediately behind him, without his knowing it. They, too, were G. A. R. boys, former soldiers under him, Fryer and Minnie*, now detective officers of this city. When the general's strength gave out he sauk back into this •chair, and the two old soldiers carried him gently up the height to th3 cottage.

In thi? oozy cottage millions of people arc hoping our general will find at least an intermission from suffering.

The devolion of the Grand Army veterans to the dying commtnier is touclung. One of them, Comrade Samuel Willett, has erected a tent near the cottage, and will stay there constantly to guard Grant and his family from unwelcome viators. It will be a cold day for curious persons. Fred and Jesse Grant and their families are at the Drexel cottage. The general has named, Mrs. Fred Grant "Sunshine." He is very fond of her.

In the crystal-pure mountain air the invalid seemed to rally abfirst, bub he stubbornly insistel on walking too far the day after his arrival Since thon he has not been quite so welL Dr. Doujla* is in constant attendance. It is to be feared there can be only one ending to this memorable journey to Mount McGregor.

THE LATE PRINCE FREDERICK CHARLES. Frederick always delighted to wear the red Hussar uniform of his regiment* choosing it in preference to that of a general oi the army. Hence his title of the Bed Prince by which he was commonly known in th army. After the war with Austria Prince Frederick devoted much of his time to the reorganization of the Prussian military sy» tem. The soldiers idolized hint. He Mai rough and he was ready. He was no carpal knight, ignorant of the dangers of the field but was always ready to take more than his share of the labors and privations of arduous warfare. In his reconstructed of the army he introduced greatei freodom from harsh disciplinary methodi than before was possible, and both officers and men had much to thank him for. Ai an-English officer who accompanied him ic one of his campaigns very justly observed: "He had a singular power of making hit oops care little for fatigue and hardship. On the line of march he was always with hit men, and would by a few happy words cloei up the straggling ranks of a weary battalioa and send men forward cheering loudly." He had a good memory for nam and persons, and the soldiers knew that he took strong and practical interest in their well being.

It was, however, in the war with Franct that he won his greatest laurels. He wai given command of the second German arm} of over a quarter million of men and 50( pieces of artillery. He attacked Marsha Bazaine in the field and drove him int Metz, which he besieged and finally com pellei to capitulate.

The prince was not happy in his private life. He married in 1834 the charming Princess Marie Anna, of Anhalt Dessau, She was intended for the present Crowt Prince of Prussia, but the Matter's health proving so poor she was given to his cousin.

[Special Correspondence.]

NEW YORK, June 23.—If there is one locality in America more beautiful to me than another it is New York harbor and bay.' It impresses me somehow every time 1 see it afresh as it impressed Barthaldi himself, that rare, brilliant morning when it hurst on his eye for the first time, and he said to himself: "Here is the place for my Liberty to stand."

There have been famous goings on in New York bay lately. On the 17th of the month the French government transport Isere steamed up into the noble harbor, having on board the Statue of Liberty. Miss Liberty, however, did not come over in a standing, or even sitting position. She was dissected, taken all to pieces and loaded into boxes, big and little, of all shapes and sizes. When the Colossus of Raodes tdmbled down in an earthquake, Irish and Italian laborers of those days gathered up and took away of the pieces 500 camel loads. Our Liberty would make more than 500 camel loads if an earthquake should tumble her down one finger would make a good heavy weight.

Hers is the ship that brought her over.

happy home would have afforded him. A great lover of the chase' it was chiefly is thia enjoyment he forgot his private cares.

Her arrival was attended with all the state and ceremony fitting the reception of a gift from one great republic to another. She is a pretty ship, with her hull painted a brilliant white. She anchored down in tba lower bay to give time to our authorities to get "a good ready." Some of the statue committee and a number of reporters went on board the steamer in a tug first of all. The captain, a trim, clipper-built Frenchman, met them with "a bow that was never made in this country." The French naval officers made a great impression by their graceful and dignified appearance. English and Americans don't pay so much attention to style.

The French naval uniform is very pictureaqtMr For dress tip, the common sailors wear white, pure white, trousers, blouse and flat-topped cap, trimmed with blue. Officers wear white trousers andUue frocks.

The statua was packed in boxes, that looked more like huge peach crates than anything else. A good looking lieutenant led his visitors to a very large one. It was big enough, if a canvas hal been thrown over it, to moke a tent that would have sheltered several persons. The lieutenant rapped the box with his fingers, then pulled at a lock of hair upon his forehead and said,

DR DANIEL D. WBEDOIT.

By the death of the Rev. Dr. Wn*1on tha Mathodi/it Episcopal church loses one of its most profound philosophers and scholars. He wa-s of the old school, a deep thinker and keen metaphysician. His loss will be deeply folt in this age of vacillating creeds, when skepticism is making such deep inroads through the broken ranks of. the Christian fonres.

Tin great box contained one of the

goddess' curls. Like many other fashionable ladies, she took off her curls when she was not fixed up. si

The American coiftmittee in charge of the pedestal have been fortunate in securing the services of the trustworthy Gen. Stone to take charge of that work. Beside being a capable engineer, a skillful organizar and an executive officer of large experience, he. is a thorough linguist, speaking several languages with equal facility, and is courteous to a fault, just the requirements which, on the occasion of the reception of the statue, were necessary for the officer representing our country.

UBVT. SEN. CHARLES P. STONE. Gen. Stone has had s«ch an intensely varied career that a brief review of it may be of interest here. A native of Massachusetts, where he was born in 1824, he entered West Point military academy in 1841. Graduating, he served through the Mexican war, being breveted captain at the fall of the City of Mexico. From 1848 to 1850 he spent on a leave of absence, studying the armies in Europe, Syria and Egypt On his return he served as chief of ordnance of the Pacific from 1851 to 1856, when be resigned from the army to take charge of a scientific expedition for the survey of Sonora. On Jan. 1, 1S81, he was called back into service against the rebels by Gen. Scott, he being the first citizen called upon for such duty. He immediately organized the District of Columbia troops, for the protection of Washington. His ability won for him rapid promotion, so that in May, 1861, he led tJic advance guard in the first passage of the Potomac as a brigadier-general His brilliant career from that time until September, 18fti when he resigned through sickness, was marred only by one episode, the nature of *vhich is a mystery to this day. In February, 1863, he was. suddenly seised and made prisoner by Secretary Stanton, who oondned him for six rronths in Fort Lafayette, without assigning any reason or weftuTioff any charge .against him, though

Gen. Stone constantly demanded it. IOIS incident is to be investigated shortly. In 1870 Gen. Stone took service under Khedive Ismail as brigadier general in chief of staff, reorganized the Egyptian army and was promoted lieutenant general in 1873 and served until the last day of 1883, when be requested, to be relieved from the service. On the 3d of April, 1883, he was chosen to take charge of the construction of the pedestal.

The public reception was held on Friday. The day was noted for something that I never saw before. Perhaps many of mv readers never did either. That was a grand water parade. Every kind of craft was loaded with people, and went out upon the great bay to sea the show. And everything afloat was reaming bright with bunting. The old garbage and dumping' boats had dazzling flags waving aloft above their dirtt•e&s. Yes, hiess you, even the ferryboat! of the in ylvania railroad were adwutd to honor the occasion.

The Frenchmen themselves declared it wai the most splendid water pageant they had ever seen, but whether they only said it oul of politeness is more than one can tell. Certainly New York never witnessed anything so imposing, not even on the centennial anniversary of Evacuation day.

Your correspondent went out to se9 the show in a 25-cent excursion boat It waf the only one that went just at the right halfhour to suit our convenience. It was th boat on which the cheap-fare people went Those who only had a quarter of their own. and those who hoped before they got bacb to secure some of the quarters of other peo pie, went on board that boat Then were "nice" people there, too. 1 heard a lady say as I went on board: '-I like to go among thrf rabble onca in awhile, just to see how superior I am."

That was one way of putting it. Butitisn'l a Lpd idea for the most "toney' persons to da scend from their alleged heights now andthqc and move among the roughs and the toughs. Human nature in all its honest piggishneas, before the rough bark has been peeled off by polit'3 society, is well worth looking at There was plenty of it on the 25-cent boat 1 like to study it I suppose there is a com mon streak in me somewhere.

It was an awtul jam. One had almost tc fight for breath as he made his way through the crowded cabin to the deck. I managed to clear the doorway, and was leaning disconsolately against a panel outside. Standing up for two hours was not a pleasant prospect. You muit know that New York men, high or low, are not like the rest of our fellow countrymen, as 1 have had occasion to mention before. They don't get up and give a woman a seat. It If a foreign way they have borrowed. So I looked lor no relief. But while gazing with afar away feeliag into the murky salt water beyond, a clear, bright black 6ye flashed my way, and a man's hand beckoned me. A bench ran around the outer railing of the deck, and there

it near the man who had beckoned. But two other men wit chairs had pressed themselves close against the seat, and for me to get it they had to move back. Would you believe it, they refused to do it at first? They saw me standing there. Six inches would have given me plenty of room, and 1 eft enough space for them, and they would not budge. I actually felt myself I lush ior the brutes. But my iriend who beckoned ma spoke up bravely and brusquely: "The s.eats!iare made to sit on. Movo back and give this lady room."

Then they did it in a mulish sort of way. They were dressed like dudes, in the most fashionable and expensive way. They had high sheet iron collars on, turned down at the regulation augle, leaving them just room to bend their necks.

I noticed then that my brave champion was a workinginan, and one of the people. His hands were brown and knotted. His face and neck were tawny and seamed, and had that lojk which the skin of a worker ia iron wears. He had a rusty luster coat on, and I'm afraid, alas, he wore a paper collar. But he was a true, brave gentleman. And I'm proud to add that he was born American, while the two dudes were foreigners.

So through the kindness of a chivalrous workinginan with a bright, black eye, I had a good view of the naval parade.

Tha American navy got on its poor old legs for this occasion. The funny papen remarked that it managed to fire a salute without shaking itself to pieces. We trembled for it but it sustained the ordeal. First in the procession came a fussy little black United States dispatch boat, named the Despatch. Then followed three United States men-of-war, so called. Secretary of the Navv Whitaje^ was on board the Despatch, rfie United States war vessels were the advance guard of wclcome. After them floated softly the black French flagship La Flore, Admiral Lacombe, and after her the shining white Isere herself, with her rare burden. The French ships looked for all tho world like a Paris bonnet. Instead of having their signal flags and streamers hoisted over the masts in one line from stem to stern, as ships generally do when dressed, they had them strung on ropes and disposed in great triangles between the masts and the yardarms. From the foremast floated the American flag and from the mainmast the French flag. Tha American ships ruversed this order, and had the French flag at the foremast and the stars and stripes at the mainmast.

THE WATER PAGEANT.

Following the Isere was one of the lm-

mense'rrewxtitffc terry steamers the Atlantic, with the city dignitaries on board. Senator Evarts had been taken on board the Isere down the bay. He wore pearl-gray trousers of an exquisite hue, and a soft white hat, and made a speech to the foreign fellows in the choicest American French. He was here, there and everywhere during the day, was Senator Evarts. It is to be feared hj was as giddy as a kitten, the dear man. After the official steamer went the vessels of the American Steam Yacht club.

If the war policy of the Americas nation was represented by tho advance guard of the water procession, its oratory was personified in little Senator Evarts in the middle, while its money brought up the re4r. The yachts were those belonging to the richest men ip the country—Gould. Cyrus Field, W. E. Conner, John Roach, S. J. Tilden and others —millions and millions. Oh, but they were beauties, too, those yachts—not the men! Samuel Tilden, Jay Gould and Roach are not exactly the perfect type of manly beauty. But their yachts! Next thing to a fine horse, a beautifnl yacht speaks to my soul. Graceful, shining and trim, they seemed like merry things of life. They looked like a flock of birds, floating in" the sunshine, their necks tied with flags and ribbons.

After them came miscellaneous tugs, steamers, excursion boats, and sailing vessels. A dancing catamaran shot over the water with its queer double hulls. "I don't like those things,'! said a fat old lady, pensively. '•That's a catamaran," said her boy. i,. "Yes, I know but 1 don't like it"

There were fully 15,000 persons on the water 100,000 in all witnessed the pageant from boats and shores. It was rather odd, bat I cculd think of nothing but a funeral a the procession moved sfcatelr and slowly up the bay. And when it neared the Battery and the flock of excursion steamers and other craft hovered around to take a parting look at the ships, it seemed a3 though the funeral had disbanded and was going home.

As the line of steamers passed up through the Narrows clouds of smoke and thunder® of cannon burst from the big, grass-covered forts on each side. The foreign ships answered back with a roar that shook the water. A great cloud of srnom settled like a fog over the face of the bey. They say if you leave your mouth open during a discharge of cannon you will not be shaken up so much. "Aint it splendid," says a young lady. "Like real war, ain't it?" "I jist vish I had all the money dma salutes cost," said a practical minded German.

The huge three-docked steamers Grand Republic and Columbia must have held a thousand people each. Tliey steamed close to the Isere to give the excursionists a good view of the shij) that brought the statute over. They wfcre together till near the vessel Then they parted and went one each side of her. The men cheered and the ladies waved their handkerchiefs. Something in the name of the Grand Republic appealed to the gallant French captain. He bowed to the ground. Then he waved his gold-laced cap and shouted: "Vive la Republique!"

A storm of cheers burst from both vessels. At the Battery the guests, officers and reception committee disembarked. A great land procession of dignitaries and soldiers moved up Broadway to the city hall, where there were appropriate ceremonies. The old street was brilliantly bedecked with bunting. But the land parade did not compare with that on the water. Oh, dear, nol

The water excursionists were landed at their respective piers. As for our party, we felt as though we had paid a quarter and got our meney's worth.

One of the pleas an test sights of the day was the two flags, French and American^ twined together in all sorts of graceful way8. Together they mounted guard over the unfinished pedestal down at Bedloo's island. Together they were festooned from windows and towers. There was upon us all a remembrance of a time which, I'm ashamed to say, we are apt to forget—that time, more than a century gone, when the brave and noble young Marquis de Lafayette came, with comrades brave as himself, to befriend us in the darkest days of our revolution.

Yes! Vivo les Republiques, both of them) Tho Republic of France and the Republic ol the United States, bora alike in storm, and reared through adversity. May they live forever! ELIZA ARCHARD.
