Y., July 22?9?A tf.?The actual condition of tho paient is pronounced unchanged since he last bulletin, except he is said by )r. Douglas to bo growing weaker. >omo food has been taken and retained his morning. The patient is sitting k'ith slightly inclined head; he is concious, and his mind is clear. Dr. Dougass has sent for Dr. Sands. Dr. Dougass anticipates the end during the day ' ir evening. 12:20 P. M.? Conditions are reported inchanged since 9 o'clock except gradu,lly increasing weakness. The early morning hours at the Grant ottage were cool and refreshing. At 2 ('clock thfi tliormnnipfop nmrl-nil 79 H/>. ;roes. About three o'clock Mrs. Grant I ame out on tho veranda and sat down a n one of the many deserted chairs cattcrcd about on the piazza. For ten r linutes she sat motionless, with her ace resting on her hand. Suddenly here came a sound of a cough from s ritliin the cottage. The General was learing his throat. Mrs. Grant left the ' iazza quickly and seated herself by the , Seneral's side and slowly fanned his ice. The coughing was not severe. Jolonel Fred Grant entered the room rhile the nurse was aiding his father and - a 1 1-2 ? l n ? ? juiv n ?L-ai utjiimu uiu ucncrm. nwas ^ imo to administer his food. Tho nurse ^ ouched the ahoulder of Dr. Douglass as c lay asleep on the couch in the same oom; ho rose fully dressed, as he was 11 night, and seated himself beside the " atient. Food was given from a cup and is mouth and throat cleared by the octor. It was nearly 4 o'clock when lie physician laid away his oppliances. C ieneral Grant leaned forward in his ^ hair and signified his desiro that a lamp ' hould be brought. The nurse brought lamp and held it at the sick man's ? houlder, and at the moment the General 4( urned his face townrd the light and pward to bid the nurse bring his 1 ad and pencil. 11 is wish was not at the ** loment understood, and, turning a trifle * iirther, the General repeated his wish, "he scene at tho momcut wus a picture i shadows. As the llickmng candle rays * ell across tho face of General Grant it lecame a grim ltembrandt. with tho ^ trong, rugged lines broken down by 8 uffering and pain.

A crimson * carf had been tbrown on the bark of ' lis chair, but as he leaned forward it ft ircw across his shoulders, one end betig gathered under his arm. A dark ' ressing gown covered the patient's at- 1 cnuatcd form and a handkerchief encir- 1 led his neck. The gray of the close-cut 6 uard seemed white, and the lines on his c hceks and forehead were deep indeed, 1 nd when the face was turned upwards 1 o speak the eyes seemed grayer too and ^ bnormally large, they were clear and teady, showing that the General's reaon was clearly at his command, but ? here was that wistful and yearning exiression in them which makes women reep and grow sympathetic. The Gen- ^ ral's face as he spoke appeared strained N nd drawn, but its color and fullness ^ rere not such as w<^uld be expected af cr such sultcring nhd care. His lips noved heavily nnd his whisper husky ,nd low, but the nurse understood, and he pad and penoil were brought. Then, chile the red light of the candle fell on tis downcast face, he wrote, but only >riefly. The slip was handed to Dr. Jouglass, who at oncc handed it over to Colonel Grant, who had arisen and stood >esidc his mother at the General's side, t was a private family communication ,nd when finished the sick man rcsum>d his half rcclining position, with his icad slightly inclined forward and lis elbows on tho sides of the chair, vhilo tho fingers of either hand were incrlocked with each other beneath his :hin.

At 5 o'clock Dr. Douglass was aroused to send a summons for Dr. Sands. The General noved restlessly, and his oyes for a few noments gazed intently away through :he trees, whero the new day was beginning. Then he settled down in his :hair and dozed. The messago to Dr. lands was sent only that the responsibility of the case at the close of the light should bo shared by tlio members of the medical stnif, nnd not with thought that any aid could bo rendered by any person at that tirao or through the opening day. The General was given stimulants, Kilt hn vrniirM ?oitk?r (iah* hv liAim > rho morning is clear, and the mercury at i 11 o'clock registered ;80 degrees. All i risitors are to-day kepi rrom the cottage, i md n Sunday quiet prevails about the jpot. l)r. Douglass and Dr. Newman ire with the family, and the day is one )f quiet waiting. Tho General sits as 10 did last night, his eyes closcd much >f the time, but coherent and clear whenever hcr>peaks. U. S. Grant, Jr., s expected trite afternoon. The family :ircle will thefl bo complete. 1. P. M.?Dr. Douglass has just left lie cottage. Ho says the General sits rith his head inclined forward and his ;yes closcd the greater part of the time, lis pulse is very weak and fluttering.

A singular occurrence at the cottage las just been related by I)r. Newman as laving occurred in the cottage at one i'clock. At five minutes of one the Jeneral asked the hour of the day. 'One o'clock" spoke one of those near he General. Soon afterward the cotago clock chimed twelve strokes - .1 iL - n ? 4--1 *a_ ?" iiu iuu uuiicrei cuuiuea mem. men to wrote on his pad that he observed hat the clock was wrong and indicated desire to have ft stsuck to the right iour, which was done, and the incident mssed as one of the remarkable epiodes of the Oenorafs sickness.

Douglass had given to the public, to one of the staff is "willing to make ny prediction beyond twenty-four tours, which period it is deemed possible the General may survive, though he probabilities as now indicated are hat a less space of time marks the limt of the General's life.

Mount McGreoor, July 23.?The letails of tho death of General Grant, rhich was announced this morning, will ?e read with interest everywhere. A few minutes before 8 o'clock Drs. Douglass, Shrady and Sands stood on he cottage veranda, conversing of tho sondition of Gen. Grant and discussing he probabilities of his death an I the imit of life left the sick man, when :Ienry the nurse steppod hastily upon he piazza and spoke quietly to tho phyticians. He told them he thought that he General was very near to death. The medical men hastily entered the ooni wnerc me hick man was lying, ana ipproachcd his side. Instantly upon scanning the patients face Dr. Douglass >rrfcrcd the family to bo summoned to he bedside. Hasto was made, and Mrs. "Jrant, Mr. Jesse Grant and wife, U. 8. Srant, Jr., and wife and Mrs. Colonel jrant wore quickly besido -the doctors it the sick man's cot. Mrs. Sartoris and VIr. Dawson had followed tho doctors in rotn the piazza, and the entire family yas present, except Col. Fred Grant. \ hasty summons was sent for him, >ut he entered the sick room while the nessenger was searching for him. The Colonel seated himself at tho head of .he bod, with his left arm routing upon .ho pillow above the head of the Guneril, who was breathing rapidly and with lightly gasping respirations. Mrs. rirant, calm, but with intense agitation jravely suppressed,.took a seat close by ;he bedside. She leaned slightly upon the cot, resting upon her right olbow ind gazing with tear?blinded eyes into :he General's face. She found there, iowever, no token of recognition, f?r .he sick man was peacefully and painlessly passing into another life. Mrs. Sartoris came behind her mothor. and leaning over her shoulder iritnessed. the close of .the life in which iho bad . constituted so. strong an. element of pride. Directly bohind Mrs. Grant and Mrs. Sartoris, and at a little distance removed, stood Drs. Douglass. Shrady and Sands, spectators of the closing life which their efforts and counsel had so prolonged. On the opposite side of tl.e bed from their mother and directly before her stood Jesse Grant and U. S. Grant, Jr. At the foot of the bed and gazing directly down into the General's face weie Mrs, Col. Fred Grant, Mrs. U. S. Grant, Jr., and Mrs. Jesse Grant. THE ArrilOACIlIKO ENI). Dr. Newman had repaired to the hotol to breakfast and was not present, and the General's little grandchildren, U. S. Grant, Jr., and Nellio. were sleeping in the nursery room abovo stairs. Otherwise the entire family and household were gathered at he bedside of the dying inan. The members of the group had been summoned not a moment sooner than was provident. The doctors noted, on entering the room and pressing to the bedside, that already the purplish tinge, which is one of nature,s signals of final dissolution, had settled beneath the finger nails. The hand that l)r. Douglass lifted was fast growing colder than it had been through the night, the pulse had fluttered beyond the point where the physician could distinguish it from the pulso beats in his own finger tips, the respiration was very rapid and was a succession of shallow panting inhalation, but happily the approaching end was becoming clear of the rattling fullness of the throat and lungs, and as the respirations grew rapid and more rapid at the close they also became less labored and almost noiseless. This fact was a comfort to the watchers by the bedside, to whom was spared the sight of an agonizing or other than peaceful death. The wife almost constantly stroked the face, the forehead and hands of the dying General, and at times, as a passionate longing to prevent the event so near, would rise within her. Mrs. Grant pressed both his hands and, leaning forward, tenderly kissed the face of the sinking man. Col. Fred Grant sat silently but with evident feeling, though his bearing was that of a soldierly son at the death-bcil of a hero father. U. S. Grant, Jr., was deeply moved, Jesse bore the scene steadily, and the ladies, while watching with wet cheeks, were silent as benefitted the dignity of a life such as was closing before them. The morning had passed fifty minutes beyond 7 o'clock, and there was not one of the strained and waiting watchers but could mark tho nearness of the life-tide to its final ebbing. Dr. Douglass noted the nearness of the supreme moment and quietly approached the bedside and bent over it, and while he did so the sorrow of tho gray haired physician st-eined closely allied with that of the family. 11.. .. " ? jy uui uuj uiun uuai , (i M SS IIVC minutes of eight o'clock and the eyes of tho General were closing, his breath grew more hushed nntl the last functions of the heart and lungs were hastening to the ending of the ox-President's life. The peaceful expression seemed to be deepening in the firm and strong lined face, and it was reflected as a. closing comfort in the sad hearts that beat quickly under the stress of loving suspense. A minute more passed and was closing when the General drew a deep breath. There was an exhalation like that of one relieved of a long and anxious tension. Members of tho group were impelled each to step nearer the bed and each awaited another respiration, but it never camo. There was absnliifp atillnnao in vaaim ?**/! effect of the finest costume.-?

In response to a call made some time since by Adjutant General Manigault for rolls of companios which had nnt heretofore been furnished him, the rolls of the following companies h?vo been* forwarded to him: Company 0. 7ih Infanty.

' ' 'fcriVS of expoctant suspense, and no sound broke the 6ilcncc save tho singing of the birds in the pines outside the cottage and the measured throbbing of the engine that all night had waited by the littlo mountain depot down the slope. "it is all ovkh," quietly spoke Dr. Douglass, and there came then heavily to each witness the realization that Gon. Grant was dead. Then the doctors withdrew, the nurse closed the eyelids and composed the dead General's head, after which each of the family group pressed to the bedside. one after nnothcr, and touched their lips upon the quiet facc ?o lately stilled. [Special Dispatch to tho News and Courier.] Washington, July 23.?President Cleveland was going to his breakfast this morning, when tho following dispatch, which came ovor tho wires of tho Wliito House, was handed him : "Father died at 8 o'clock this morning. "F. D. Gkant." After this, breakfast waited for tin President while ho dictated a reply to the sad news and which he addressed to Mrs. Grant as follows : "Accept this expression of iny heartfelt sympathy in this hour of your great affliction. The peoplo of tho nation mourn with you and would reach if they could with kindly comfort tho depth of sorrow which is yours alone, and which only tho pity of God oan heal," Messengers woro quickly ?ent to fttl the members of the Cabinet requesting them to assemble an hour earlier than usual on Cabinet days in order that steps might be taken to prepare a suitable tribute to the dead chieftain. Secretary Kndicott was the only absentee from the Council Chamber when the President seated himself at the long table and greeted his counsellors. As a result of the deliberations in the room formerly occupied bjr President Grant the following proclamation to the people of the United States, conveying the sad intelligence was formulated and circulated through the medium of the Press. The President of the United States has just received the sad tidings of the death of that illustrious citizen and ex-President of the United States, Gen. Ulysses Grant at Mount McGregor. State of New York, to which place lie had lately beer, removed in an endeavor to prolong his life. In making this announcement to the people of the United States the President is impressed with the magnitude of the public loss of a military leader, who was in the hour of victory magnanimous, amid disaster, serene and self sustained, who in every station, wlicth er as soldier or ns Chief Magistrate twice called to power by his fellowcountrymen, trod unswervingly the pathway of duty, undetorred by doubts, single-minded and straightforward. The entire country has witnessed with deep emotion his prolonged anil patient struggle with a painful disease, and has watched by his couch of suffer ing with tearful sympathy. Tho destined ond has come at last, and his spirit has returned to the Creator who sent it forth. The great heart of tho nation, that followed him when living with love and 1 pride, bows now in sorrow above him dead, tenderly mindful of his virtues, his great patriotic services and of the loss occasioned by his death. In tostimony of respect to tho mem- 1 ory of General Grant, it is ordered that the Executive Mansion and the several departments at Washington be draped in mourning for a period of thirty days, and that all public business shall, on ' tho day of the funeral, be 1 suspended and the secretaries of war and of the navy will cause orders to be issued for appropriate military and na vul honors to be rendered on that dnj\ In witness whereof I have hereto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the City of Washington this twentythird day of July, A. D. one thousand eight hundred and eighty five, and of the independence of the United States the one hundred and tenth.

Underwear, for example, should simply cover the body?not enlarge, depress or compress it. The finest French underwear, excepting skirts worn next the dress follows this rule.

The corset is even more important; whatever this, ought always to be of the same cut and style, the same depth over the hips, the same lines enclosing the bust. The modern corset is anything but an object of terror. It yields a necessary support to the soft and fleshy p.irt3 of a woman's figure, and serves as a flexible frame on which to build the dress. It is scientifically cut and curved to the body, and supplied with elastic sides or gores which adopt it to delicate women and growing girls. inercaru summer corsets a transparent, lace-like fabric, traversed by slender pliant lines of whalebone, forming the frame, which are a luxury even to look at, and may bo worn on the hottest day with ease and comfort But there are still straight, shapeless, heavilyweighted "stays," machine-made, coarsely corded and charged with steel bars that quito alter the figure of the weiflpr. who perhaps thinks she is improved because she is martyred in wearing them, or selecting them bo cause they are a few cents cheaper.

Mauigault Might Have Made Hintory. [Prom tho Mansfield, Ohio, Herald.] Among the incidents of his rocent trip through the South, Gen. Brinkerhotr relates a story oi the battles about Chattanooga, which just now, whilst the attention of the nation is concentrated on the man who at that time directed the armies on the Union side, may be interesting. 1 On my way from Charleston to Columbia," said Gon. BrinkerhofT, "I fell into conversation with Gen A. W. Manigault, the present adjutant-general of the State of South Carolina. Finding that I had recently been at Chattanooga, he told me that he was in those battles, urn uuiuiuanaoa a ongade near the centre of the Rebel line at Missionary Ridge. ^ "He said the fiuost sight he ever saw was the advance of the Union army with 60.000 men in line. "The day before the final fight at Missionary Ridge, Gen. Manigault had his headquarters on an elevajted point known ns Cedar Hill, but upon the advance of the Union army the Confederates fell back about three-quarters of a mile, and took up a position on Missionary Ridge. As the Union army advanced, Gen. Manigault observed that Cedar Hill, the position evacuated by him the day before, was now occupied by some one,' evidently of high rank. He could s?>e through his glass that orderlies on horseback were coming and going is such numbers as to mako it very certain lhat some person of importance wu then on Cedar Hill, and one who must [it least rank as high ag a division or corps commander. "As he watched the hill the maxim of Napoleon in regard to destroying or disabling the guiding mind of ao opposing nrniy, occurred to him. Napoleon under such circumstances advised the concentration of a number of batteries and a whole broadside in order to make sure work, and as Gen. Manigault had several batteries of rifled guns, he feltvery sure that he could kill or cripple the officer on Cedar Hill, but ap he had orders not to waste any ammunition until ordered from headquarters, he sent for his division commander and suggested the propriety of sweeping Cedar Hill. He was told that the orders of Gen. Bragg were imperative <?n account of the*scarcity of ammunition, to reserve lire for close quarters. However, he said ho would see Qen. Bragg and ask his consent. Gen. Bragg declined, and so. said Gen. Manigault, *1 lost.an opportunity of changing the currents of history, for a week or two afterwards my pickets brought me a Cincinnati newspaper with Gen. Grant'? report of tho battles of Missionary Bidge* from which I Innrnpfl that flip m?n nn Hill was Gen. Grant himself, and I am very sure that with the batteries at my command I could have killed or crippled him.' " 'I have had it in mind, for man/ years,' said Gen. Manigault, 'to tell Gea* Grant this story, if by chance I should meet him, but it is not likely now that I will ever havo an opportunity.' " John J. Wise, who has been nominated by the Mahone republican convention of Virginia for governor, is in the neighborhood of thirty-eiprht years of age. His face is smoothe and as he is quite blonde he looks much younger than he really is. His forehead is broad, his eyes are a pale blue, his nose is a short pusr and his mouth is larare. his face is broad, full and inclined to bo double chinned. Ho is a little above the medium in height and is quite stout. Ho has served one term irt congress, and while there. Tailed to make any special point for himself. He Is mi alleged orator. He has a wonderful flow of language, with very few thoughts in what he says. Ho has 4 style of wit, a fashion of telling stories and an assumption of jocoso good nature which make him Tory popular with uncultivated audiences. He is called one of the orators of etd Virginia. He has inherited, however, but little of the ability of his father. Because he was pot reoognized and pushed to the front by the democrats of Virginia he went over and joined Mahone. People with good pedgrees, according to the Virginia standard, wcro very scarce among Mahone's followers. They, therefore, were very glad to have Wise as a recuit and havo since made the most of him that ia possible. Mahone sent him to congress for one term. While there he'disgusted his constituents by his lack of independence and his absoiote subserviency to the iron rule of Mft^oittt "He ia on?* of the most coitaplete dUmmfes in Mahone's possession.
