General Grant Quils i{aw York for Monut MeGregor, A Search for the Eternal Spring of Youth. His temovel Considered Iitimed and Suspicions—Ulcers Rob Him of His Voice, OFF FOR THE MOUNNAINS, GRANT ON HIS JOURNEY, New YOk, June 16,—The Sun this morn. in f’Mnny of those informed as to (eneral Grant's actual condition look upon the plan of removing him from & comfortable home with grave miseivings, That his life now hangs upon a vory slender thread there is very little donbt anong them. His throat in one aspect waa Worse last night than ever before, Col. Fred Grant told a reporter last evening that his father had totally lust his power of speech, Ho is still able to articulate faintly, but even those most accustomed to his mode of speech cannot make out what be says, except at very brief intervals, when his throat was temporarily clogged with mucus. This is something that has never happened be- fore, and has developed 1n the last twonty- four hours, It is said that his mouth can no longer be opened lufi\cienflr wide to enable the physicians to make ocular examinations, and when they feel of the affected parts they give the patient such excruciatiog pain that they refrain from it as much as possible. In outward appearance when clothed and in his easy chair with wraps about him the gencral bas not very greatly chavged. His face has aged, it is true, and is seamed with wrinkles, but it re- tains to a great degree its uatural fullnees. * But aside from this, he is but the shadow of himeelf, His body is wasted almost to a skoleton and ths bones of his hands and wrists show through the tightly drawn skin with the ghastly distinctness of a consump tive, That which most shocks those who of late have seen the general is the great walignant looking swelling which has appeared on his neck vnder his right ear. It has of late grown with great rapidity and is now as big as a man’s two fists put together, It is kept concealed most of the time by wraps about his throat. Of course the general's household are better able to judge than anybody else what is pru- dent and what ~is * imprudent for him to do, but not withstanding their decision thatit is safe to make the experiment they are going to make, there is smong m any who have closely watched his case from the commencement a fesling of grave anxiety as to the result. They doubt whether the mountain air will suit the general, THE REMONAL. Wm. H Vanderbilt's private car was the last of the three whick msde up the special train which was to convey Gen, Grant to M, MoGregor. The general arrived at the depot about 9 o'clock and at once entered Vander bilt's car, took a seat on the sofs, with his own hands adjusted a woolen skull cap and drew closer the meck scarf so as to conceal the ugly swelling which filled out the right side of the neck even with the ear. He watched with appa- rent interest the movements of Dr. Douglas and Harrison, who were arranging the chairs that the general could be as com- possible (luring the trip. The heavy drapery was 8o arranged as to prevent aony draughts from reaching the sick man. Mra, Girant sat at the general’s right hand. The ride throogh the tunnel in the city was the worst to be experienced during _the entire trip, The sharp curves shook the car a little, Mra, Fred Grant, Mrs, Ulysses Grant and Mrs Sartoris were also in the car, while the children of the household were under the care of Col. Fred Grant, in the forward car, Geueral Grant passed a restless night This morning he looks much depressed and emaciated, While he watches everything that I8 dome he does not speak a word. INCIDENTS OF THE TRIP, Bazeyrowyn, N. Y., June 16,—Col. Grant was half recliniog on a sofa with Dr. Douglas, and by the Gieneral's side when Stony Point was passed at 9:45, “When Anthony Wayne stormed Stony Point.” shouted Col, Grant above the clatier of the train so that the physician and his patient could hear, *‘my grand-father, C.pt. Dent, was commandor of the “‘Forlora Hope.” and when they reached the falls he had his men stand on each others shoulders and then the captain scaled the rampart over their heads and stood on the wall and ulled his men up one by one over the human adder, They then descended and opened the gates of the fortress and let Wayne's men in.” The general inclined his head and smiled faintly at the recital of the incident, *“Up here at Toconderoga,” continued the colonel, ““father’s great grandfather and his brother were killed 1n the French-Evglish war about 1754.” The geceral hoard and nodded assent, About ten o'clock the geveral turned o trifle in the chair in order that he might com- mand a better view of the right bank of the river, He wanted to get a glimpse of West Point as the train hurried on. The scene was growing familar. to the sick man, zcones of his cadetship were coming to view, and at o length, at 10:15, when the quarters of West Polat swept into view. The general nodd:d across the river and again smiled as Mrs, Grant glanced across at him to see 1f he was noting the powt they wero passing. He smiled as he nodded, - The Iadies hurried to the river side of the car to watch, and Col Fred. Grant pointed out the pile of roc) which he had heard his father mention in tell- ing of the swimming adventures of student life, The general spoke no word, but fol- lowed the soenes with his eye, looking rear- ward until West Point was ‘shut out by the curve of the road. Once the general pointed to tho residence on the west bauk of the river, and leanivg toward Col, Fred, Grant at- tempted to epsak, but ocould not make himself heard. Dr Douglas requested him not to make and effort to speal ade bim write what he had to sommun; weneral did, Dr. Douglas sud: *‘I have inade no ¢ffort to feel his pulse, could not do o whilo bis brain was la motion. He is showing less fatizue than was expected, 1 am anxious to reach the mountains so that I an olean his throat of this dust, which is iryleg to biw, Ho is feeling the' heat, but Lis strepgth is holding out remarkable,” Sarat00a, N. Y., June 16, ~The specis! train boarivg Gen, Grant arrived on time, A great crowd was at the depat trying to catch & glimpso of the general, He way visible but 8 moment as he steoped from the train which brought him from New York to that which was to convey bim to Mount McGregor.

Theso were the eamo as those offered to and accepted by Aizpmu five weeks ago, The rebel chiefs in Barran Quilla are men of higher standing and heavier calibre than Aizpuru and they told Rsyes they preferred to tight it out. The government forces are gradually »p- proaching the revolutionary forc:s operat- ing on Barron Quilla as headquarters, and lively news may be expected from that quar- tor soon.

The draperics are epecimens of fino embroidery. The reredos, cr back p'eco, Is ornamented with carvings and siung with cloths, A solfd gold crocn, sa'd to have cost $4,000, is kept in a safo % night, but by day 1s to stand on the altar.
