VOL. X FATHER AND DAUGHTEB THE MEETING OF NELLIE SARTORIS AND THE GENERAL. A Good Night's Rent and Comfortable Day. Working on His Book Again—Some Medical Opinions in Regard to a Proposed Operation. New York, March 23.—When Mrs. Sar toris amve<l at the Grant residence she did not wait to remove her wraps, but went at once up stairs. The general and Mrs. Grant were in their bed room. If the general was nerv< us he did not show it. He returned his daughter’s caresses affectionately, and in answer io her anxious inquiry said that he felt very well. Dr. Douglass was there, and would nut allow the general to have a long talk and sent him off to bed. Soon after ward he seemed to be asleep and the doctor went away. lie slept very well all night He must have slept seven hours eontinuou.dy, with scarcely an . in errupUon. He has been very well through the day, tak i - more foxi than u u il. He called for and parto »k of some roast mutton at dinner. During a portion of ait-moon and ov -inng he was engaged in r >ing his b ok, but did no writing. He ac com dished er.uugu to keep others busy on th" work for two or thro * days. He felt very comfortable and inclined to sleep, and is l her ‘fore the beat he has bjeu for some time. His throat looks better—not a manifest im provement, but it was without that angrv look it has had some times. The following appears in the Medical record: “During the post wees the local disease of Gen. Grant lias shown no marked tendency toward progressive ulceration. At the re cent weekly consultation Dr. Fordyce Baker was unavoidably absent. Drs. J. H. Doug h’s, Henry li. Sands, and George F. Shrady, who were present, mu ie a thorough exarmn a 4 onul the general’s throat, with a view of discussing the expediency of a ra lical sur gical operation for the removal of the growth. Such a measure would inv< Ive the division of the lower jaw in the median line, the extirpation ol the • ire longue and the greater part «f the soft palate, together with the removal of the ulcerat *d and infiltrate 1 faucus and the indurated glandular struc tures umier the right angle ol the lower jaw. This was considered mechanically possible, d spite the close pro‘.unity and probable in volvement ot the tissU'S adjoining the large arteries and veins .n the neighborhood of the ulcerations; but ;n th* best interests of the distinguished patient the surgeons did not feel inclined to recommend the procedure. Even by >u h means there could be no guar antee, in view of exi is.ve surrounding in filtration, that the limits of th * disease coul 1 be reached without immediate risk to life by the severe shock to a constitution already much enfecbleed. Th* low vital power is such a strong element in the decision that, for the present at least, no kind of operation will be undertaken, The ulceration on the side of the tongue has not progressed far noagh to produce the us ml intolerable pain associated w ith that condition, but should the latter symptom apo ar it n.ay be deemed ad visable to divide the gustatory nerve. M Tbe general tone of the patient s system remains about the same as last report, not withstanding he has suffered much from in- Mimnia. The latter, within the last day or two, has lieen kepi under control by a suita ble anodyne. J here is do pain in swallowing, and sufficient food is taken w ith a reasonable relish. ’’ The Philadelphia Medical News has the fol lowing article on the disease from which Gen. Grant is suffering: “Although sc.rrhous carcinoma of the tongue is occasionally met with, the most Important of the neoplasms of that organ is tpithelioma. the natural history of which has i special ini rest at this time, in connection with the case of a distinguished citizen, in which minute examination has disclosed that the disease is a cancer of that type. “Lingual epithelioma, as a rule, rapidly progresses toward a fatal termination. When left to itself the life of the patient from the first appearance of the disease varies, in ac cordance with the estimates of different ob servers, from 10.5 to 13 months, the average being 11.7 months. Death ensues, first, from the geueraliaation of the disease; secondly, from septic pneumonia, from the inhalation of the putrid emanations which result from the decomposition of the products of the Ulcerated surface; thirdly, from starvati n, through th" pressure of the infect <i lym phatic glands and surrounding parts upon the oesophagus, thereby interfering with de glutition; and lastly, from hemorrhage pro ceeding from the ulcerated lingual arteries or the vessels of the neck. “The duration of life of those who survive an operation averages nineteen months. Not only does operative interference prolonglife and relieve buffering, but it effects a fina cure in fourteen jxjr cent, of all cases. In at taining these results it must, however, tie re membered that excision of the tongue is at tends! with a mortality of twenty-three per cent., the principal dangers being shock, hemorrhage, oedema of the glottis, septic lung affections, pyaemia and "rysipelax, some of which risks can be avoided by taking care ful precaution during the operation and by the perfect mg of antiseptic measures during and after the procedure. “When, in addition to disease of the tongue itself, the palate and the tonsil are involved, the prognosis is far more grave, whether the disease ! e permitted to pursue an unaided course or whether it be subjected to the knife. In the latter event not only will the tongue have to be extirpated, but the disease of the palate and tonsil will have to be reached either by Langenbeck’s or Mikulicz’s method of operation. In the former the jaw bone is divided just in front of the masseter muscle, while in the latter the ramus of the jaw is resected. For carcinoma of the tonsil alone temporary section of the inferior max illa has been practised by Cheever, Gensmer end Von Bergmann. In Chever’s ease the disease continued to progress; in Gensmer’s there was freedom from recurrence for thirty-three months, while we are not aware of th- fab* of Von Bergmann’s patient.

Crew was accused of being the author and when requested refused to apologize, and in timated that Newberg might go to the devil. A challenge was sent and accepted with shot guns, at thirty paces, as weapons. John Donnelly acted as second for Crew and Ed. Fairfield for Newberg with Herman Haze as referee—all prominent business men It was uudei’sto • 1 between the secon<ls tliat the guns we to be loaded with blank car tridges. A'heu the word was given to tire both weapons were discharged and Crew tell, while a quantity of chicken’s blood made a respectable corpse. The crowd rushed forth to see what the result was. Newberg, thinking that they were going to arrest him, drew a revolver and began to shoot right an 1 left, while the crowd, 2IK) in number, dispersed in every direction. But the revolver, too, had been loaded with blank cartridges, so no one was injured. NewiH r. was brought over to the city from Bismarck* grove, where the duel had taken place, and ■ousulted an attorney, who inlornud him that Crew hail lieen wounded, and of the na ture of his (Newberg’s) offense.
