__ Kr.tr Ton, June It.—General Grant started
this morning for Mount McGregor.
Mocft McGnoos, K. V., June Hi.—Gen■
ertl Grant arrived here at 1:45 this afternoon,
The laat stage of the journey was the worst,
as the jolting caused the general much pain
and fatigue.
When General Grant alighted trom the train
here, a large banner confronted him bearing
the words "Welcome to our hero." At the
moment a photographer, with a camera on the
platform, took an instantaneous picture of the
general alighting. The goneral, steadied on
each side by Henry and Harrison, his attend,
ants, started to walk trom the train to tho
I— Drtxol cottage. The ascent was easy and the
distance short, but his strength tailed,
end he was placed in a chair, which was
carried to the college by the two porters.
. Mr. Drexol and Mrs. Grant were close behind
the general, and his household and servants
followed, forming a little procession. On the
cottage stoop Mist Diesel welcomed the party,
and conducted the ladies to their rooms. The
general walked to bis room on the same level
at the broad piasia, and there he tank into a
chair with pillows beneath and behind him,
The perspiration was standing on bit face,
and too strain of the journey gave way to tho
reaction of extremo weakness. He laid bask
with closed eyes, and the nurse fanned
His laco. Dr. Douglas was anxious to examine
and clrense the general’s throat. He found
thst considerable irritation had been caused
by the fino black dust which had 1 dg
the throat dnrlng the jonrnev, but tala
the surface underneath, though Inflamed,
peered better thin be had expected,
awclling outside htd steadily increased after
passing Hudson, and during tho last hour of
the trip it rapidly Sited forward in tho neck
and below the collar. Tho goneral’. voice,
which was better at starting than on Monday,
bad utterly failed him, and any alTort to
apeak resulted only in faint and
almost inaudible aspirations. Tho
doctor thought this sphonta was
dus to tho fatigue which was greater during
the last hour of the trip than at any other
time. When the doctor had cleaned and
treated hit throat, General Grant appeared on
the pltsta, and waa seated in a pillow,
cushioned chair, with his feet resting in an
other. Hit skull cap waa drawn down, and
bit neck protected by the upturned collar of
bis gown. Hit elbows rested on tho arms ol
tho chair, hit hands were claspsd, hit
eyes closed, and the watchera said he
Waa enjoying repose. This, howover, was
not to. After ten minutes he arose and with
bis cana slowly walked into hta room and laid
down. In faint whisper he let Dr. Douglas
know that ho waa very weary and waa glad
the journey wss ended. Hie pulse, ordinarily
71, wts 80 brats to tho minute. Tho family
nrc all quartered at tho cottage, but Dr. Doug,
las has his rooms in the house.
Dr. Douglas remained tho entire evening
With General Grant, who, despite tho fatiguo,
waa wakeful until 10 o’clock. 'His throat was

and li e nurse was loft to watch with the gon,

though sleeping. Tho family arc no it retiring
for the night.
Mocst McGuxoon, Juno 17.—When Gener
al Grant reached here yesterday, the ther
mometer registered 83, but a thunder storm
came up last night, and to day the tempera
ture is 05. General Grant ha> partially re
covered his voice. Ilia son, Colonel Fred, is
reported as ssying that the failure of bia fa
ther’s voice Is owing to debility, and he la
growing weaker all the while. The change of
air be feels just new beneficitlly, but his
weakness constantly grows upon

amsll flags fluttering Irom it, Is pitched close
to General Grant's cottage. It la occupied by

Tho trip here yesterday waa one ol painful
interest. In Hew York, Gonoral Grant arrived
at the depot abont 9 o'clock, and at once en
tered the Vanderbilt car and took his seat on
• soft. With his own band ba adjusted hts
woolen skull cap, and draw closer tho nook-
scarf, so as to conceal the ugly swelling that
filled out lha right aids of hit nock avenwltk
the tar. Ho watched with apparent interest
the movements of Dra. Douglas and
Harrison, wko wore arranging
chairs and bags, so that tho gen
eral should be u comfortable as possible during
the trip. The heavy drapery waa so arranged
at to prevent any draught trom reaching lha
lick man. Mrs. Grant sat at the general's
light hand, and he wu eyer under her
watchful eye. The ride through the tunnel
In the city was the worst that wu to bt ex
perienced during the entire trip. The sharp
curycs shook the car a little, but the care of
the ocglueer prevented any shaking that
could disturb the general. Mrs. Fred. Grant,
Mrs. Ulysses 8. Grant and Mrs. Sirtorls were
also in the car, whlla the children of the
hotuebold were under the care of Colonel
Fred. Grant in a forward ear. Colonel
Fred. Grant wu half reclining on a sofa
with Dr. Douglu and by the general's side
when Stony Foist wu paued at 9:40. "When
Anthony Wayne stormed Stony Point,’’ shout
ed Colonel Grant above the clatter of the train
to Dr. Douglu, "my great-grandfather. Cap
tain Dent, wu commander ol the 'forlorn
hope.’ And when they reached the walls he
bed hla men stand on each other’s shoulders,
and then the captain sealed the rampart over
their backs and stood on the wall and palled
liis men up, one by one, over the humia lad
der. They then descended and opened the
gates of the fortress and let in Wayne’s man."
The general Inclined hit head a trifle and
smiled teintly at the relation of the incident.
"And up here at Ticonderoga," continued the
colonel, "father's great grandfather and his
brother were killed in the French English
war, about 1714.” The general heard and
sodded usent.
ax alabmiio incident.
It. Douglas this evening telegraphed Dr.
Banda to come here by drat train to-night.
General Grant spent a good portion of the
forenoon taking abort walks abont the piazza
cl hit new house. About noon he laid down
to rest, and his doctor went to steep, which he
much needed. About 3 o’clock, and whlla his
pbvaicisns and nurse were uleep, the general
dit'w bis silk hit over his skull esp, signaled
Harrison to hie tide end walked down the eot-
ts ge step. He walked slowly along the path
way over an easy slope to tho brow of Uat
mountain, oso hundred yards away. Several
timet he panted to rest, and at
length sat down on a ms tie
settle. When the chair wu placed (or his feet,
be removed the btnkerehief from his moult,
and essayed to speak, declining support lor
bis feci, but hts voice wu not audible. The
breath cculd be heard, but so worJe, and tho
general recognizing the feet, shook nil head.
The fact that a mtit of frogs had been eanght
during the morning at ons of the liu e moun
ts i. lakes near by, wu mentioned to the gen
era), and he was asked U he would attempt
anything to tender as frog legs?
.. . ■ . u , but the attempt
the general tried to apeak, but the attempt
did not reenlt in the worda that were
audible, end again he declined by shaking hit
hesd. His attention wu directed to the mon
ument that marks theinrrender ol Burgoyne,
twenty miles away, but the elevation ol his
head to gase so far away teemed painful, and
bis bead bowed, his chin dropped to hit
breut, and hit eyes rested on nearer objects.
The seek and diseued portions ore strainod,
and pain follows when he holds his
head erect. Five minntos passed
while the general tat on tho blull
and ho then aroee by steadying himself with
the arm of tho settee and hit cane, and with
Harrison at his tide retraced his steps to the
cottage. Ko ono wu more surprised at the
general’s walk than Dr. Douglu. He wu
amated that the general should have at
tempted tt, but wu amused by his selecting a
time when tho doctor wu uleep.
Mr. McGbigob, K. Y., June 20.—General
Grant did not sleep u Well lut night at on
previous sights, but wu quiet and tree from
pais. When sleeping the general wu u
much refreshed u by sleep at any time. The
intervals of waking lut night were rather
more frequent. Dr. Douglia wu called only
onco and that to clear the general’e throat
alter having taken food. Hla pulse then wss
72 sod hit voice clearer. When tho general
was aroused this morning hit pulse was <9,
lull, strong and regular.
Hrfore leaving hit room to-day, tho general
further demonstrated renewed interest
in his book by writing a
paragraph to bo Inserted at A point in
the work which ho indicatod to Colonel Fred
Grant. The amount written wu not great.
Hit physicians feel gratified to observe a re
turn of interest on tho general’s part in the
mattere going on about him. From midday
until arenlng he pused the time on tho piazza
or taking short walks on tho grounds and
leading newspapers. He makes no attempt to
talk, but seems to enjoy tho lively conversa
tion of hit numerous family.
