The General Demands the Adminis tration of Morphine to Help Him in the Struggle. GEN, GRANT, HIS CONDITION ALARMING, Motst McGrcon, July 2.—The fatigue which followed Gen, Grant's ride yesterday was 80 great that ho slept eight hours of al- most natural sleep during the night. He aroused at cight this morning, but is dozing through the afteruoon, The pulse this morn- ing was more frequent and somewhat weaker than lnst night In the evening the general’s condition be came alaiming and it was for a time thought death was near, Bulleting were 1ssued as fol- lows: General Grant seems sinking. alGrant is sitting in the cot- tage mily and physician are noar and a nurso is fanning him, 10 p. m,—Dr. Douglas thinks there is a slight rally and says ho has known patients in the general's present condition to survive two days, ilp.m bulletin, 11:30 p. m,— General Grant has just told his family that there is no nocessity for their sitting up any longer to-night, There ecems to have teen a second rally, 1 8, m.—Dr. Dougiaa states that since his rally Gen, Grant has received a hypodermic injection of brandy. This has brightened him, His pulso is ncw quite regular and shows some firmness, Hets awake and perfectly conscions, The rally, however, was made without any stimulants. Indeed, the general refused it when offered. An effort is made to tide over the general until the arriv of U, S. Grant, Jr, 2 & m,—The general ia in the same condi- tion as at 1 o'clock, Mra, Grant is fanning him, with the nursy in attendance. Dr. Touglas hay retired, Though, Geuneral Grant was greatly ex hauated by the joltiog ride in his bath chair Monday afternoon, it was belioyed this morning that the eight hours of natural sleep obtained by him Iast night hadrestored a portion of his lost energy. This b:licf was supported by bis refroshed and somewhat brighter appearance. His pulse had rcarcoly the volume 1t had at 11 o’clock last night, and a8 the morning wore on the doctor thought he dotacted evideuces of a feveriah condition but tho forenoon was passing o quietly as to give strength to the beliof that the genera! ting and further rccuperating from atigue of tho trip which had been under taken at his solicitation, by his expressed de stre and after an aseurance by himselt that his strength was equal to the accomplishments of his purpose. Toward noon, however, there graw in the physicians mind a conviction that the doziog quletude was more of extreme No change at thecottage from last al safe, a8 no more work en the General's mem oirs would probably be done thers, Twilight was deepening into dark when hurried move- ments were observed within the cottage. Dr. Douglas was with the patient and family at alternate intervals, and some event seemed imminent, A nurse was ssen to wheel one of the general's Iarge chairs from the sick room to the cottage parlor. Dr, Douglas and Col, Grant soon supported the sick man from his srtment and settled him in a reat chair the nurse had cushioned with pillows. Mrs, Grant took a place beside ner husband and fanned him almost incessantly, Dr. Douglas said the general had been brought into the parlor 8o he might benefit by freer air. Though the sick man was coberant when he epoke 10 whispers he #poke but little and was sinkiog surely, Dask had given way to darkness, the general, seem- ing to take little note of the oocurrences about him, still sat with his faca toward the door, whila anurse and Mre, Grant waved fans be fore hia face, Critical moments were pasting. U, 8. Grant, jr., was summoned by wite, and all felt that the eud might at any time occur. Mrs, Grant whispered to r, Newman shortly before ) o'clock and asked him to offer prayer. The clergymen knelt beside the gen: eral and offered a pray while the tamily and physician stood t with bowed heads, For an hour the patient's pulse had beon fluttering and weak, but soon after 9 o'clock it stoadied and grew a shade firmer. Then he lowered his feet and crossed his kness. Next, hefraised his hands to his face and rested his cheek against it. Dr. Douglas was beside him and as these changes teok place he glanced up significantly into the faces of the family grouped about the chair, Finally as the hour of 10 o'clock drew near Gen._Grant looked up and spoke to his danghter Ne!lie, Then he indicated a purposs to write and did so, These were instructions his family, IHand. mg one mote to Col. Fred the general looked up _into his face with large oyes that had in them a piti- ful expression. “‘I have already attended to that, father, * returned the colonel, as he bent over the general, The latter then addressed other members of the family, His pulse was growing steadier. The night passed beyond 11 o'clock, and half an hour later the sick man demonstrated that he was a general jto the last, to e ——— A JOB FOR THE OOURTS, ED BY THE FAILURE OF ROACH, Special telegram to The Dk, New Yonk, July 2L,—The Times' special from Washington eays: Thoe question is be ing asked here now whether in view of Attor ney General Garland's opinion that thero was no contract between the government and Roach, the givernment can take possession of the yards of Roach, the plant used in con- structing theso vessels, and go on with the work on the unfinished vessels, The power and right of the government in the premiaes, it is supposed, will havo toba contested in the courts, when the opinion of the attorney gen- CONUNDRUMS SUG eral may be analyzed nod weighed, It is argued that if the government had claimed that there had been a failure or omission to perform the work sat- wfactorily, but there was a contract, the sec- rotary of the navg could proceed under tho terma of the contract, take possession of the yards of Toach, and go on with the unfinished and growing lassitudo than restful reposo. At midday thero was a slight change in_the sick man's condition which was marked by incroasad weakness and less cognizance of what was goig on about him, This change was 80 slightly marked, however, that no ua- usual alarm was felt by the family, though it was deemed advisablo to repert the saue to Dr. Douglas, who at tho time was atthe hotel, rdiogly Jesse Grant walked _up the slope to speak to tho doc- tor, who came down to the cottage, The general was loss quict, though he desired rest. He informed tho physician that he had declined alcoholic stimulants because he bs- lieved they served only to heat his system without impastiog strongth. Ifo cxprotsod himself as feeling that he could endure his condition of weakneas but a short time longer and then requestad the physician to adminis- ter a hypodermic injection of morphine. Dr. Doglas was aot mnch inclined to grant this requost bocauso he belioved tho sleop aud rost produced by artificial moans wculd too rapidly draw the vitality of the patient. Be- sides a lothargic tendency was developing. and Douglas preferred that his patient should take food rathor than o The sick man however declined and_insisted upon an ad- minlstration of morphine, At length to satisfy him Dr. Douglas administered what Grant believed to contain threo minims of the drug. As a fact this quantity was not administered, but a slight portion diluted in the usual three drops of liquid, was injected into the gencrals arm. The sick man grow more quiet and seemed to sloep, and thon it was that the physician left the cottage and reported the patient exceed- ingly woak, t has sinco transpired that the general was attacked this morning with hic-coughs, and this disturbing and rapidly weakening as well a8 significant factor was present in the after- noon and with added frequency, The sloep which followed the giving of morphine was attonded by renowed hic-coughing, Attempts were mado as the afternoon was waning to give the general food, o joined in_ the en- deavor but the quantity that remained was small. When the current of a goblet full of liquid was pusiog the general's throat ifs own weight distended the throat and the food passed down, but when the last fow mouthfuls were baing drained from the glass the weight and fulloess of the liquid was not sufficient to distend the parts and they closed because the muscular power of the throat was insuffizient to keep an open passage, The result was a teason of choking and coughing with the ejection of & portion at oach attempt to administer food, The condi tion of the patieut may be appreciated when it is known that within perhaps fifteen min. utes & ter the attewpt o administer the nour- ishment to him, th eneral would suddenly look up with a utary expression of be. wilderment and inguire of his attendant, “When are you going to give mo that food?" Half an hour might e apse, and sgain tho sick man would glance up as though he had for- gotten something, and ejaculate, * When ar you golog to give mo the food you spoke of 2" s#nd when told that he had just received the food, but that more would be given if he de sired, the geners! woald again fall into » belf unconecious deze and wutter, *Never mind, or m nd,” The afterncon was sultry and almost breathless, with the thermometer registering a8 high as 85°, There was no reviving elvment in tha atmosphere, and Jths sun went down after & day of stifling discomfort even to persons in good health, The general re- mained in his room snd was not dreseed dwiiog the day. He did not move except to 1iso when the pillows kept constautly beneath him to prevent bed sores were beaten up and airod. Several times he walked feebly to & cot in the sick room while his resting place was thus being aired and freshened, So_the afternoon wore on, and at 6 o'clock Dr, Douglas came to the hotel to dioner, The Grant family were then dining. Dr. Newman came up the mountain on the train *rriving at 6:10 p. w, He joived the general's family at the table, and there Dr. Douglas reportod the general’s condition. He said the oatient was in & critical condition and he vould hazard no prediction of the future, not even of the night, The dioner concluded, Dr, Newmau and Lr, Douglas returned to the cottage, A lizht bieeze had sprung up with the going down of 11 sup and hope was ¢ xpressed that the cool ing air of the evening wight rovive the patient Col, Fred Grant had been at the cottege but a Little while, after his return from din ner, when he was said to bave exprested the belief that his father woul wot survive the night.

Cleveland Adop's McClellavd’s Plan for the Potomsc, The Serenity of Capital Life Dis= turbed Only by Appointments, An American Physician Discredits Dr. Ferran's Ouro for Cholera by Inocalation, THE NATIONAL CAPITAL, MINOR NOTES, WasHINGTON, July 2L.—The law officer of the postoffice department has given an opinion to the effect that a postmastor who uses or converts to his own use postal fundsin his poseession, though not required to deposit them till the end of the month or quarter, is guilty of embezzlement, It has been supposed by many postmasters that under section 1,249 of the postal laws and regulations—revised statutes, 4,05 ~there was no embezzlement by postmasters until they had wilfully neg- lected to make the deposite as required by the regulations. But the ovinion holds that un- der the provisions of the postal laws—revised statutes, 8,546 —postmasters are forbidden to loan, use or deposit in authorizad banks, or to exchange for other funds any public money collected by them. If a postmaster does use such monies he wrongfully converts them to his own use, and the act of February 3rd, 1879, provides that any officer of the United States or an assistant, who shall embezzle or pervert pubic funds to his own use shall be punished by fine and imprisonment, Under thia act any portmaster who uses postal funds intending to make them good when the time for depositing arrives is liable to prosecation and punishment. Colonel Toster, United States minister to Spain, has transmitted to the state depart- ment a report made to him by . Da La Grapja, & physician of Boston, who accom- panied the medical commission recently sent to Valencia by the Spanish government to investigato the cholera epidemic and to report upon_the efficiency of the new system of inoculaticn practiced by Dr. Ferran, The report says: “Persons treated by Ferran were found to have been inoculated in both arms but presented no marks or scars other than those made by the hypodermic syringe and now almoet obliterated. Some of them stated that they had had a littie headache and all se- vers pains iujthe arms lasting about twenty four hours after inoculatian, ~ Oae of the most remarkable things is that none had either vomits or diarrho2a as an effact of inoculation excepting the small children who, according to one of Ferran’s assistants, had both, St tistica presented by Ferran cannot ba taken aa statictics by anybody free from prejudice, The only thing to be said in favor of 'erran’s method is that those who have undergone it have lost all fear of the disease, Ferran asserts that the inoculated do not have any immunity until fiye days after inoculation but does not know for how many days after that they are protected. The inoculated, how- ever, do not appear to acquire much immu nity because they are attacked by cholera and dio like those not ino.ulated, The commis- sion has concluded that the inoculations are moffensive and recomwend that Ferran be allowed to continue his experiment, The op position to the present government of Spain has been making political and threefourth miles; Dirsan won; Trish Pat, second; Bootblack, third, Time, 8:08}.

A DAY OF CHA Special Telegram to The Bk, @Onicaco, Ill, July 2L —The course of wheat from one day to another ia now quite uncertain and unsteady, The market is so sensitive and nervcus that each and every story and report which comes in during trading hours is sure to put pricesup or down, To-day, with all the outside influences bullish, the market opened firm and higher, and then broke quickly under the effect of a hot wheat report from New York, which has very little to do with Chicawo spring No. 2. The unex pected decrease of the visible supply, the bad reporte from Ruseian crops. the strength of foreign cables and expectations of more or less damage to the wheat now growingin Minnesota and Dakota from excessive heat, all conspired to make a stronger feeling until the tide turned under more favorable news from abroad and from New York, But even then the market partly recovered from the break and remained firm till near the cloas.

But here corn not only held its own but actually advanced fractionally in the midst of a naturally expected movement in the other direction, One cause of this strength might have been the fact that the increase in the visible supply was quite small, considering that the volume of daily receipts has been sp much greater of late, thus show ing that the demand for corn keeps pace with the supply, even when that supply is consid- erably enlarged, Oats—Oats were quiet, irregular and weak, and the closing figures show a shrinkage of 1c for July and ic for the August and Saptem ber delivery, Oattle—The receipta of fat cattle were rather light, but of the 6,000 on sale not over 4,000 wore natives, and smong that 4,000 there wera scarcely 3,00 that would pass for fat cattle, and out of the total 6,000 there were at least 2,000 Texans.

Ta contemplating his brilllant war record one s sometimes bewildered to know whether it was entirely love for country or love for will horsemanship which Insplred him in his Impetuons dashes. Hls horse was always his main- stay. The enthusiasm which Impelied him to yell, “Keep them on the run, boys!" after the jided unlon troopers covered with dust and stalned with the life blcod of fallen comrades, had carved thelr way to the crest of Misston rldge, up over the very non-backs of the confederatos, but was an exem, lificatlon of that which perpetuated his routhful explolt la the chrontcles of the Somer- set community. Though a mere child he mounted the unbroken and bridleless colt. An inherent reck- leseness of spitit, which was lrritated by the challenges of his playmates, actuated him. He plucklly malntalned his seat, clinging to the mane of the runaway, and at the end of four mlles the colt, tired and conquered, turned into the farmer's barn standing convenlently at the road- side. The daring lad slipped from the back of the panting animal unharmed.

The sky was slightly over cast, the air thick, heavy and stitling. Fverybody ex. pected another day of torrid heat, I'rom 6 o'clock on, however, the heat was moderated and gontle breeze sprung up and grow more noticeable as the day advarced. People be- gan to breatho freely again and things in general all throuzh the clty assumed once more a_hvelier air. Tho temperaturo fell gradually to 759 at 1 o'clock, luquiries were made at the health departmen® concerning the effect of the two days’ torrid spell on the denth rate. It appears that while no cases of sunstroke wero reported to the depnrtment, the hot weathier played sad havoc with the chuldren, Cholera infantum has been preva lent to an slarming extent ia many quarters of tho city.

From the con- versatlon of the passers.by 1t was that the lad’s mind received its first confused impresslons about the ontslde world. The attrition, instead of insplring discon- tent, quickered his natural liking for study, and soon afterward he had made such pregeess at the country echool that he readily, upon application, procured a clerkshlp In the store of Mr. Huston. His natuoral smartnees and his proficlency in arlthmetic excited the Intersst—and finally secured him the frlendship—of an amfable old gentleman who was eventu- ally Instromental in placing him at West- to | Point.

His slater Mary was kind-hearted lady, rather loquaclous, but withal noted for deeds of charlty and sincere attachment to her church. She marrled John Wilson, a major on her brother’s staff in 1863, and dled a year later. Both of Sherldan’s brothers were in the army, the one, Michael, being on his staff, and the other, John, serving as a private, The latter had studled law, though nature evidently never designed him for a successful barrister. Near-sightedness and & dlstressful timidlty before an audlerce were his peculiarittes. O:ze Fourth of July durlng the war John Sheridan had been Invited to dellver the oratlon of the day, the ceclebration belng largely commemorative of Gen. Sheridan’s trl- umphs and patriotism. The orator Barose nervously, apparent'y wrest- ling with some mighty thought. At length he said: ‘‘Ladles and gentle men: Somereet is a swmall placa—| pause] that is, it {s not very large.” At this protound reflection he blushed, coughed, took a drlnk of water, wiped his specta- cles, and replacing them resumed: *‘La- dies and gentlemen: Somerset fs—is—a small plica, 'Hem!

In the long years of Its existence there is no rvellable record that It was exclted out of its indifference more than twice—once when Phillp Henry Sheri- dap, then a puny lad of O years, dashed through the place on the back of a runa- way norse, and again when the news came that Gen.
