ULYSSES S. GRANT QUICKLY WEARIED. A SHORT RIDE WHICH EXHAUSTED HIM AND ALARMED HIS PHYSICIANS.

There is a spot here known as the Eastern lookout, which few visitors fail to see and which is a delight to all. General Grant had long wanted to go there. His former trips to the bath chair had been to the hill top, where the hotel stands. The Eastern lookout is probably 100 yards from the cottage. Most of the family had been there, and the General had heard from others, as well as from them, of its charms. He had thought of a ride to it before, but had not mustered the resolution. This afternoon,m the day having passed with unusual freedom from discomfort, he decided to make the trip. The bath chair was drawn up to the front of the porch for the General at about 5:30. As he was descending to it Dr. Douglas asked him if he felt strong enough for the trip. He nodded in reply.

Harrison started down the hill with Dr. Douglas and Colonel Grant following close behind. It ran well enough to the station and then began to jolt. The General held on to the sides, his silk hat closed down over his ears, and he looked as though the trip was anything but pleasant to him. Harrison plunged ahead, determined to get over the worst of it with the least possible delay, while Dr. Douglas did not let the General's face get out of his sight. The General's face was set and flushed, and he clutched the chair with all the might of his enfeebled grasp. By the time the Lookout was reached he was in no condition to enjoy it. Stopping only for a moment to let Harrison rest, he nodded to return, Across the track the General had to leave the chair while it was hoisted up to the freight platform and then walked in the chair, a distance of 20 feet. Then all took him and pushed him up the hill to the cottage path.

He was bound to make a good showing on the way home. Straightening up as well as he could, he saluted several ladies who were walking down the path, and to all appearances for that moment was no worse for the trip. But the effort was too intense to be kept up, and on reaching the cottage porch he left the chair very feebly and ascended the steps with the Colonel's arm around him. They went together to the sick room and the General felt into his chairs badly exhausted. His pulse was quick and fluttering. The effort had been too much for him and Dr. Douglas did not leave him for an hour. Then, when the General was easier, he left for the hotel to get his dinner. No sooner had he left when there was a summons came from the cottage. The General's pulse was excited and his nerves needed quieting. The usual sedatives were applied and the General slept until 9:00. "The trip to the Lookout should not have been made," said Dr. Douglas. "He wanted to go and we were all at fault for allowing it. He cannot stand such exercise and I shall see that he takes no more." General Grant awoke at 10:45, much refreshed by two and a half hours of sleep. the pulse was then 84 and his color had become almost natural again.
