The papers it Thursday giire very
gloomy account? of General Grant's
Condition. At midnight of Wednes
day tlio physicians stated that lio ooulil
hot live twenty-four hours longer.
(The end came about eight, o'elook on
the morning of the 28rd lost.
The papers contain full accounts of
the last sceue.
A few mtanlps before 8 o'clock Drs,
Douglas, Shrady and Sands stood on
the cottage veranda, conversing ot the
condition of Gon. Grant and discussing
thfc probabilities of his death aud the
limit of life left the sick man, when
Henry, the nurse, stepped hastily upon
the prlazza and spoke quietly to the
physicians. He told thein he thought
that the General was vory near to
death. The medical men hastily en
tered tho room where tho sick man
was lying, and approached his side.
Instantly upon scanning tho natlent's
faco Dr. Douglas ordered tho family to
bo summoned to tho bedside. Haste
was mado, and Mrs. Grant, Mr. Jesse
? Grant and wife, U. 8. Grant, Jr.. and
? wife and Mrs. Col. Grant were quickly
beside tho doctors at tho stok man'o
cot. Mrs. Sartorls and Mr. I^wson
had followed the doctors in (ton.
piazza, and tho entire family was pros
sont, oxcept Col. Fred. Grant. A
hasty summons was sont for him, but
he entered tho sick room while tho
.messenger was searching for hltn. Tho
Colonel seated himself at the head of
tho bed, with his loft arm resting upon
tho pillow abovo the head of tho Gon
.oral, who was bloathing rapidly and
with slightly gasping respirations.
Mrs. Grant, calm, but with intense
agitation bravely suppressed, took a
seat closo by the bedside. She loaned
slightly upon tho cot, resting upon hor
right elbow aud gazing wltn tear
"blinded eyes into the General's face.
She found there, however, no tdkon of
recognition, for the slok man was
peacefully and painlessly passing into
anqther life. Mrs. Sartorls came be
hind her mother and leaning over her
shoulder witnessed the close of tho life
in which she had constituted so stronj
an element of pride. Directly behiud
Mrs. Grant aud Mrs. Sartorls, and at a
little distance removed, stood Drs.
Douglas. Shrady and Bands, spectators
of the closing life which tholr efforts
and eounsel had so prolonged. On the
u opposite sldo of tho bed from their
mother and directly before her stood
Jesse Grant and U. S. Grant, Jr. At
tho foot of the bed and gfurfng dlreotly
down into the General's1Ik? were Mrs
COl. Fred. Grant, Mrs. U. 8. Grant
.Jr., and Mrs. Jesse Grant.

Touching the place for burial, she
General a month ago indicated throe
places aa suiting his wishes in that
direction. The choice, however, was
narrowed down to two, owing to the
natural wish of the General (hat hit
wife should test beside him. A strong
desire has been expressed to the fam
ily that the burial should take plaoein
Washington, and efforts 'Have also
been put forth to mako New York the
last resting place of the General. Bo
foro his death, however, Gen Grant
left tbo choioe of abnrlai spot entirely
to Col. Fred. Grant, imposing only the
condition that the spot selected should
be snch that Mra. Grant might rest by
his side. HI* remains have been re*
moved to New York by a special train
and there prepared for burial.
Col. Fred. T. Dent, Gen. Grant's
brother-in-law, who is now residing In
Washington, was asked if ho kuew
what place had been selected for tho
General's burial. He replied that ho
did not, although lie had made Inquiry
on the subject when at Mount Mc
Gregor reoently. From a remark then
made by a member of Gen. Grant's
family lie inferred that a positive selec
tion had l>een made Ipy tho Genera),
but that It was known'only to himself,
Mrs. Grant and Col. Fred. Grant. Ho
was Inclined to thluk. howovor, that
tho General had not selected Washing
ton, but possibly West Point.

( brom th? tjattfonl, Flu., Journal.)
After being about four months bid
away (as It were) in the wild and
beautiful country about Okeechobco,
I hare onco more oome for a day or
two In communication with tho pcoplo
of the world and glad was I to pick
up the papers* and once more read the
news. But my gladness soon changed
to sorrow when! read of man's inhu
manity toman. O, Americans I how
loug will you allow the curse and
shame to taint your otherwise glorious
name of not caring for tho poor crip
pled Confederates? I ask every man
wh*o is opposed to this just and hnmano
yea, and righteous measure, to put
himself In tho placo of that soldier
who fought, suffered and spoilt his
young manhood for the lost causa
taught from infancy to tho belief in
State rights, when the alarm sounded,
how his young soul moved him when
tho bullets flow thick and fast, whoro
the ranks woro thinned, and uncles,
brotbora and fathers fell to riso no
morel , At last when the negroes werO
gone, wiien the rafters of tho beautiful
and onoe happy Mrnie had tumbled in,
when starved, shattered and blooding
in the last ditch they surre.idtffed tip
their arms to our victorious army,
they returned to tho desolato spot of
ground whoro once was a happy homo,
sat down unoug tho ruins and rubbish
and viewed the lono chimuoy, and
thought'a'oi those who had fallen in
battle and thosc-who had sickened and
died and wheHrne knew all that were
left were poor, is it a wonder that the
brave man's head fell and he said, "My
Lord and tuy God,'Is there no help for
the 'widows' sons'?" Lincoln said,
wheu speaking of oinancination, words
to about this effeot: "Wo are hand
ling a new case or causo and we must
thiuk anew aud act auew." Now, If
the South had no constitutional grounds
for secedlug, then they wore rebels.
But if thoy did have * constitutional
gronnd to staud 011, then it was a
war of Statos and not Rebellion.'
Jf It was a war of-Statos aud now all
States acquiesoe in tho decision of
arms, it does not requiro a man with
more than common sonso and a very
common vision to see tjiat the soldiers
of one State who pay the Bame national
tax have just o? good a right to a pen
sion as the soldiers of an another State.
All aro equal and should bo used equi
ty, but it, on tbo other hand, it was
Rebellion, then let us, as Lincoln &ald,
"think auew, and act anew," and in
God Almighty's name, le^ us do jus
tice to the mou who fought in tho
Southern army. Let them havo tho
little pittance 4he Government doloa
out to her cripples. It is but little
they'd get, but it would lighten theui
a little on their dreary way to that
river where all are noaring. Many
are now looking across at the skir
mishers who line the other shore, they
movo biavely forward, though in pov
erty and rags, they regfot nothing
thoy'vo done, for they'vo fought for
what their conscience said was right,

?Ttma Hudson, colored, lias returned
to Atlunta after a residence of seven
teen years in Liberia as a colonist.
When asked by a (Constitution report
er. what she thought of that country,
she said: "I never liked it. It is' a
remarkably rich country, and the cli
mato i9 gcnorally ajjroeublo. I don't
know when I havo felt a day as hot as
this. Tho trouble is with the fever,
which never fails to attack settlers,
and is very fatal. It tukes two years
at least to becomo acclimated, and I
don't think tho climato ever agrees
woll with anybody but tho natives."
"Ik tho population growing?"
"No sir; I think not. TJie natives
may bo increasing, but there arc fewer
American negroes there now than there
used to be. Nearly all of tho fltty that
went over in our party died. Some
camo back. On the vessel that brought
me to New York were twenty-ono
emigrants returning to this country.
Thov generally get enough of Liberia
In six mtfnths."
"What inducements are offered to
] sellers?"
I ".Every family is given 26 acres of
land, and they can buy as much more
as they want for 60 cents an acre. It
is the richest land I over saw, too. I
had a beautiful place with manv Im
provements. Thero wore 12,000 'bear
In^ cofl'eo trees oil it, besides thousands
or bananas and plantains. It wa9
valued a few years ago at $8,000. Yet
when I sold |t to got mouoy to como
back on ujl I realized was about $600.
Que reason of this was tho troublo
with tlio curmiov. Very little money

coffee and get anything I wanted,: 86
with syrup or fruit. But when my

money of fho country good. Crops
are bountiful, but every necessary of
lifo Is high. Fork is ;J0 cents a pound,
boof 20 cents, hain 60 cents and goon

" What about the Government ?"
"It is modellod after ours. All tho
officers aro negroes, and thero aro a
good many politicians."
"Do tho peoplo gonerally seem to bo
happy?"
"Woll, I supnoso ho. Tho natives
aro happy in tnoir wav,cbut 1 don't
think tho country would satisfy thoso
who had heon reared in Georgia."
"What is tho religlou of Iho peoplo?"
Among the emigrants thero aro tho
various denominations wo hare hero.
The natives worship Idol*."
"Why don't thoy send missionaries
among them?"
"Thov do, but it is a hopeless task, I
think. Among tho thousands of na
tlvcs I saw while thore only threo had
been civilized and Christianized. Mis
sionaries aro scattered all over the
country and they find no troublo in
getting crowds of tho nativos into their
churches and schools. Many of these
profess convorslon and aro onrollod as
Christians, but almost invariably tlioy
go back to idolatrv when they return
to their trlbos. The missionary work
In Liberia seems to be making no pro
gross."
"You don't think tho future of tho
country looks bright?"
"No, sir; tho omigrants who have
Bono thorn from this country as a rulo
aro not contented. Many* of thcin
come back, and many more would
como if (hey had tho means. Tho
oountrv is not going to fill up with

boliovo the natives will ever be made

and brutal. They are happy whon

loaded with fruits to sell in the towns,
and then go bock to their miserable
