illln VOL. X. PATIENT SUFFERING. HE BATTLES WITH REMINISCENCES WHILE LIFE EBBS AWAY. Walting for the Tide of Kteruity -The Old Warrior’s Book—Triangular Difficulty in Which Mark Twain and the Century Figure. New York. March 10.—Gen. Grant passed another uncomfortable night He was even mote rustless than ever before, and did not attempt to find rest in bed until an early hour in the morning. He could not long re main quiet and nervously paced the floor in the hope that tired nature would bring him the relief he sought and needed. Hour after hour toe walked the floor, his steps becoming more feeble until he sank into his cliair greatly fatigued Happily there was an al>- Ben**e of all pain and his uneasiness was the result of over strung and over wrought nerves. Early in the morning his eyes became heavy and ho at last fell, sleepy, and retiring between five ar«i six o’clock, he slept soundly and peacefully until mid-day. He woke much refreshed and spent a peaceful day. Nu pain was complained of, and his conxli ti«'M that of ths previous jday that his family were considerably encourage*l. It is rejiortud that at the general's urgent request the Rev, J)r. John I’. Newman, for nierly of the Madl»Qß Avenue Presbyterian Caurch, who is now in California, has been vuitten concerning the former's condition, na. ho has been asked to visit the Grant family us soon as convenient The general and Dr. Newman aie j»ersonal friends of loag standing, and while president the for n-r was a parishioner of the reverend gen tleman. Gen. Grant’s condition is said t«» have tx*en alarming, if not actually dangerous, for at least a week previous to the first pub lication of tliQ state of his health. The news was purpostol/ kept frotn the public for fear lest the invalid should learn of his real con dition from the newspapers. But it acciden tally leaked out and the mystery that sur rounds the probably fatal illness of the dis tinguished soldier is attributable to the same desire to avoid publicity. The general no longer reads the papers and they are kept from him by his family under one pretext or another. They spoke more hopefully of his condition now than at any time during the past tew weeks. A rumor is current that the general’s ail ment is a complication of troubles It i even hinted that sinking spells to which be has been subject for soin* time and which leave him in a very wea* eon lition, are pro duced by trouble w ith his heart His sudden abstinence from tobacco is sa I said to devel oped this feature of his malady if it was not one of the contributing cau to produce it. When asked con erning this Dr. Douglas de clined to mak > any statement whether or not he feared trouble with his patient » heart. Being asked as to w hat were the general’s chan cs of recovery, Dr. Douglas said: “I cannot answer that question. All I can say is tliat, compare-1 with the record of the past seven days, Gen. Grant is very much bettor.” Gen Grant is exerting himself to get his war reminiscences written oat before death stops his pern He has had more ease from pain -luring the week than was anticipated and has been able to work several horn’s every day. In order to hasten the composition, an amanuensis was employed—a woman wh > could use a type writer as rapidly as he would be likely to dictate! but his constitutional lack of fluon y was aggravated by the usual process, and it was soon found, also, that the use of his voice, even in a whisper, brought on inflam mation anti swelling in his diseased throat. Therefore he returned to pen and ink. He writes slowly, his average rate Ind ng only about 500 words an hour, and that is lowered by frequent meditationa He has never practiced at composition for publica tion, and it comes awk wax'd. The Arst vol ume of the proposed work has l»een edited thoroughly by an expert, whose duty, how ever, was limited to a vnrlial and grammati cal revision. He was warned not to alter the meanings, except, on consultation. The sec ond volume is about half done, but Grant ha« made copious notes lor the remainder, so that they could lie written out utter his death, ii necessary. There has l>een a falling out between Grant and Roswell Smith, the manager of the Cen tury Company. It was ail but concluded that the autobiography should be published by that concern. The general was paid $1,03 for his war article in the February number of the Century, and it was decided that fur ther passages from his forthcoming book should lie first published in the magazine. Arrangements for the making of the pictures and printing of the volumes were made, and terms were nearly settled, on the basis of a royalty. The negotiations did not result in a con tract, however, and for the failure Mark Twain is understood to be responsible. Mark has not been so reckless a humorist as t< share the profits of his tun with anybody, lit ha*' mastered the subscription Look busi ness. He is his own publisher and whole saler, being the principal unmentioned part ner in the firm of Charles L. Webster & Co., the Webster being a relative who marshals and directs the soliciting agents with which the whole country is male to swarm. Grant received an offer from Mark, through Web ster, to take his son Jesse into the enterprise of publishing and circulating the reminis cences. The fact was shown to him that the mechanical cost of producing each $2 vol nine would not exceed thirty cents, provid'd large editions were sold, and that a clear profit treble the royalty offered by Smith could be realized. As tms scheme promi sxi to yield a considerable fortune for bis fam ily and make a business for a son, Grant went into it. “There was no completed bargain to break, as between us and the g neral,” said Smith, “but we supposed it to be settled that the Century imprint would go on the title page of the book. He came to our office almost daily to consult about the matter, and oui advice as to the material and make up of the work was generally sought and followed. Understand, though, we have no grievance. He bad a right to go elsewhere, and his ob ject w a> principally to create a place for one of his sons—a thing which w e were hardly prepared to da ’’ There is a great deal more bitterness than Smith intimates, and it is certain that nc more papers by Grant will appear in the Century. Some say that Mark Twain hat incidentally closed the p-.iges of the magazine to any further transcripts from his fortneom iar k-.mlcs, which will b * a Ijss of advertising. II .t in town to help Webster in the n*< proj '-t The terms of the partnership be tw.-en them and the Grants are not divulged, further than that Mark advances the consid eraule cipiial reqiii red to put the book oi the market. ♦*The general would not be recognized by anybody go led only by hi« familiar port raits, as he sits writing his book,’’ said a priv ilege caller upon him. -The suggestion of robust surer i* ha has the limp white:- >f a suffering invalid. More than I that, hts face is greatly altered. His hair i and wMskers have been allowed to grow' ‘ much longer than he customarily wears them, owing to his dislike to be disturbed by a barber. He has no teeth, the removal of i the few that ho had rendering the i false ones impracticable. Thus his entire aspect is changed. He writes on a small stand, which is drawn to his side as he | sits in a big, easy chair. Several bulky I scrap books, containing his collection of ! printed and manuscript materials, lie on a table within reach. He refers to them fre- | quentiy, for he is anxious to be exact is his | statements of fact. His wife or one of his sons is constantly with him. In walking to and fro, which he sometimes does when mak ing up his mind about a paragraph as well as during some of the attacks of pain, he has to use a cane, in consequence of the lameness in his hip. His temper is equable, and he en dures his trials with characteristic fortitude.” . Resolutions AdoptetL Chicago March 10.—At a conference of Methodist ministers in Chicago and vicinity, the following resolution was, on motion of Rev. Frank M. Bristol, of Trinity Methodist church, and after several earnest speeches. ; adopted unanimously by a rising vote: “For as much as we have heard with pro found regret of the painful and serious ill ness of the distinguished citizen, patriot and soldier, ex-President Gen.

Grant: Dr. Luke Hitchcock, Dr. R. N. Hatfield, Dr. Jphn Williamson, Dr. R. M* Baring, Dr. W. H. Axtell, Rev. F. M. Bristol. It was resolved that a copy of these resolu tions be sent to his family. ALARM AMONG CATTLE OWNERS. - - I The I’leuro-I’ueumonia Among the Asy lum Herd at Fulton. Fulton, Mo., March 10.—The lung plague among the asylum cattle is much discussed among our business mon, and is spreading alarm among our cattle dealers. Dr. Trum bower had two cows killed from the herd that were infected, for the purpose of demon st rating the disease to the asylum Gm rd. One of the cows seemed jierfectly well, but the doctor said she had the disease and had had it for sometime; that one of her was almost entirely gofie. Ou cxamiuatioi the doctor's statement was verified. Th other cow. that appeared quite sick, he said had had the disease but a short time and gave what he supposed to be the condition of hoi lungs. When examined his statement wat accurate, even in detail. In obedience to the wish of the city council, Mayor Snell issuedß proclamation requesting that all cattle be confined or quarantined in the city of Ful ton, and that every precaut ion be used t< > keep cattle away from the infect ed io cality. SUICIDE AT TWENTY-ONE. A Young Society Gentleman of Denvei Destroys Himself. Denver, Col,March 10.—Ed. Walker, a well known society gentleman of this city, com mitted suicide by shooting himself through • the heaxl. He left three letters—one to his brother, Dr. Forrest Walker, of this city another to Miss Ida Alkire, a Den ver heiress, to whom he is sup ; I«»sed to have been engaged, and a < third letter addressed to her brother. The contents of the two last letters have been kept secret. TLe letter to Dr. Walker states that being unable to withstand his misfortunes he committed the act. Young Walker was deeply in debt, which is supposed to have been the cause of the suicide. There are reports that he was disappointed in love, ■ but as tie attended the theater in company j with Miss Alkire l&V. evening the report if ■ not credited.

Zola is not an habitual Bible reader, but the text about loving and chastening must have been in hit mind when he wrote it, for a blacker picture . of mining life was never penned. “Germinal’ , is to be followed by a study of artist life.

Y., MarchlO . —The present freshmen of Cornell university narrowly es caped having the same trick played upon i them this year that was carried out so suc cessfully last your on .ffteu freshmen class— namely, the capture of supper by the sopboiF.ores., It having been announced that i the men of fBB woulfi have their class ban quet. a few sophomores, during the post week, have been on the qui vive with a view , tojseeure the freshman feast. A member of | ’B7 was secretly sent to Rochester a wook ago ] to watch the ground carefully and to seize any opportunity that offered itself for the acCoJnplifihnienb of the plan. The caterer this. year is the same Rochester mgm that was sc ! duped last year by sophomore? ' passing themselves off as ireshmeu, and he was naturally very cautious and on the alert for any dodge of this kind. The sophomores wore thus compelled tc adopt another ruse. A dispatch was received here a day or two ago by the sophomores from their associate in Rochester, requesting that several of their number meet him nt Oswego. About twenty -f ve sophomores took a late train for that poiut, in response to the telegram, and on their as rival found that the supper was there in chaiga of the Adams Express company, having been shipped via the Erie road from Rochester to that place. As the edibles were to be transferred across the town, a distance of a mile, to the, branch road of the Delaware, Lackawanna arid Western running here, the long wished for opportunity seemed to present itself. Legal ■ advice was sought, and it was found that ii | would be a penitentiary offense to molest the | supper while in the Lands of the express com- • pauy. The transfer was made at the tim< i mentioned aliove, and as the provisions wen 1 guarded by only a few men it would have Lx'en no difficult malfter to have wrested them from the express com-: pauy’s employes and dumped them into the Susquehana ■ river, but the thruateno , prosecution on the part of the express - com [Miny and the serious consequences that migh ensue deterred the boys from making any rush move. They watched for opportunities : that would not be followed by such results/ but there being none they w ere reluctantly compiled to abandon their project. A wore in favor of running all risks, but th< | better counsel of the majority prevailed, and the attempt was given up. This move on the part of ’B7 was made revenge the successful capture of the fresh*, men supper last year by the pi’esent «juniors. Since the men of ’BB are proteges of ’B6 sonw little excitement was caused while the fresh men were assembling for the banquet by th« news that three of their num tier were locked up in the Theta Nelti Chi rooms. A stout deputation proceeded to the Sprague block , and mildly but firmly persuaded the sopho more? to surrender their captives. In tri umph the freshmen sought their banquet hall, narrowly escaping showers from an open window on the route, where the event! of the day only lent additional charm to the fun and frolic that prevailed at the festive board. “BUCKLEY, THE SHOOTER,” SHOT. William Peyton, a Desperado. th< Wrong Man at a Bar. Cheyenne, Wy., March 10.—News hai just reached this city of the kil' ng of Win. Peyton in a saloon at Sheridan, at which place he arrived from Allegheny, Pa, four years ago. He was a desperate chara<*ter, and was known to the authorities as “Dick Buckley, the shooter.” He was n sure shot, and when drunk would shoot a man as quick as wink at him if he refused an invitation tc drink. Notice to leave town was served on him but he would not go. The town people were organizing to arrest him, but when they ' arrived at Keese & Co.’s saloon, of which he' had taken jxissessioD, he was dea<L He had entered the saloon and called everybody up to the bar. AU knew him and complied, ex cept P. H. Jones, a miner. “I ain’t feeling well, Dick,” said he, “and J don’t care much to drink.” “It don’t matter a d—n if you do or not:! you’ve got to drink with me,” rejoined Peyton, cocking his pistol and aiming ii at Junes. “Oh, well Dick, if you insist on it I will we won’t quarrel about it,” answered Jones, laughingly. He rose, walked to the bar, but quickly stepped behind it and grasped a double-bar-! reled shoL-gua which stood in the corner. [ Peyton pulled the trigger of his revolver, and the hammer fell but the cap was not ex ploded. It snapped again twice in succession without result, and when Peyton pulled th« trigger the third time Jones fired and di* charged both barrels simultaneously, and the contents almost disemboweling Peyton, whe dropfied to the floor with his pistol stili pointed at Jones. When Peyton’s pistol wai j examined it was discovered that there wen ' three ernjity and three loaded chambers ano 1 that he had pu lied the trigger on the empty barrels. DISHONEST OFFICIALS.
