GEN. GRANT'S DEATH. SCENE IN THE CHAMBER OF DEATH HOW THE ILLUSTRI OUS SUFFERER PASSED AWAY miBBBBMHBBUBHHBI A few minutes before 8 o'clock Drs. Douglas, Shrady and Sands stood on the cottage veranda conversing of the con dition of General Grant, and discussing the probabilities of his death, and the limit of life left the sick man. Mrs. Sartoris and stenographer Dawson were conversing a little distance away, when Henrv, the nurse, stepped hastily upon the piazza aud spoke quietly to the phy sicians. He told them he thought the General was very near to death. The medical men hastily entered the room where the sick man was lying, and approached his side. Instantly upon scanning the pa tient's face Dr. Douglas ordered the family to be summoned to the bedside. Haste was made and Mrs. Grant, Mr. Jesse and wife, U. S. Grant, Jr., and wife and Mrs. Colonel Grant were quickly beside the doctors at the sick man's cot. Mrs. Sartoris and Mr. Daw son had followed the doctors in from the piazza, and the entire party was present except Colonel Fred. Grant. Hasty summons were sent for him, but he entered the sick room while the mes senger was searching for him. The Colonel seated himself at the head of the bed with his left arm rest ing upon the pillow above the head of the General, who was breathing rapid ly and with slightly gasping respira tions. Mrs. Grant, calm but with in tense agitation bravelv suppressed,took a seat close by the bedside. She leaned slightly upon the cot, resting upon her right elbow and gazing with tear-blind ed eyes upon the General's face. She found there, however, no token of re cognition, for the sick man was peace fully and painlessly passing into anoth er life. Mrs. Sartoris came behind her mother, and leaning over her shoulder, so witnessed the close of a lite in which she had constituted a strong element of pride. Directly behind Mrs.Grant and Mrs. Sartoris, and at a little distance removed, stood Drs. Douglas, Shrady and Sands, spectators of a closing life their efforts aud couusel had so long prolonged. On the opposite side of the bed from his mother and directly before her stood Jesse Grant and U. S. Grant, Jr., and near the corner of the cot on the same side as Jesse and near to each was Mr. $1- Dawson,the General's stenographer and confidential secretary. At the foot of the bed and gazing di rectly down into the General's face was Mrs. Col. Fred Grant, Mrs.U.S, Grant, Jr., and Mrs. Jesse Grujit, while some what removed from the family circle, Henry, the nurse, and Harrison Tyrr ell, the General's body servant,were re spectfully watching the closing life of the patient and rheir master. Dr. Newman had repaired to the hotel to , breakfast, and was not present. The General's little grandchildren, U. b. Grant, Jr., and Nellie were sleeping the sleep of child hood in the nursery room above stairs. Otherwise the entire family and household were gathered at the bedside of the dying man. The members of the gioup had been sum moned not a moment sooner than was prudent. The doctors noted on enter ing theroom and passing to the bedside that already the purplish tinge, which is one of nature's signals of final disso lution had settled beneath the finger nails. The hand that Dr. Douglas lift ed was fast growiug colder than it had been through the night. The pulse had fluttered beyond the point where the physician could distinguish it from the pulse-beats iu bis own finger tips. The respiration was very rapid and was a succession of shallow panting inhala tions. The respirations grew quicker and more rapid at the close ; they also becamelesslabored and almost noiseless. This fact was in its results a comfort to the watchers by the bedside to whom was spared the scene cf an agonizing or other than a peaceful death. The wife almost constantly stroked the face, forehead and hands ot the dj ing Gener al, and at times, as the passionate long ing to prevent the event so near would rise within her, Mrs. Grant pressed both his bands, and leaning forward tenderly kissed the face of the sinking man. Colonel Fred sat silently but with evident feeling, though his bearing was that of a soldierly son at the cleat hbed of a hero father. U. S. Grant, Jr., was deeply moved, aud Jesse bore the scene steadily, and the ladies, while watching with' wet cheeks, were silent as befitted the dignity of a life such as was closing before them. The morning had passed five minutes beyond Bo'clock, and there was not one of the strained and waiting watchers but who could mark the near ness of the life-tide to its final ebbing. Dr. Douglas noted the nearness of the supreme moment,and quietly approach ed the bedside and bent over it, and while be did so the sorrow of the gray haired physician seemed closely allied with that of the family. Dr. Shrady also drew near.' It was seven minutes after 8 o'clock and the eyes of the General were clos ing. His breathing grew more hushed as the last functions of the heart and longs were hastened to the closing of the ex-President's life. A peaceful ex pression seemed to be deepening in the firm and strong-lined face, and it was reflected as a closing comfort in the sad hearts that teat quickly under the stress of loving suspense. A minute more passed and was closing as the General drew a deeper breath, There was an exhalation like that of one re lieved of long and anxious tension. The members of the group were impell ed a step nearer the bed, and each a waited another respiration, but it never came. There was absolute stillness in the room, and a hush of expectant sur prise, and no sound broke the silence save the singing of the birds in the pines outside the cottage, and the measured throbbing of the engine that all night had waited by the little moun tain depot down the slope. "It is quietly spoke Dr. Douglas, and there came then heavily to each witness the realization that General Grant was dead. Then the doctors withdrew, the uurse closed down the ayelids and composed the dead General's head, after which each of the family group pressed to the bed side one after the other and touched their lipe upoD the quiet face so latelv stilled.
