All the Symptoms Decidedly Improved
llreoverlng Ills Volco A l'cncoful
Sunday,
Mount McClnraon, N. V,, Juno 21.
"Gen. Grant has slept nine hours slnco ho
retired last night. Ho Is now being dressed
aud will bo out soon," said Dr. Douglas,
as ho chatted with a caller at tho Grant
cottago between 12 and 1 o'clock to-day.
Tlio doctor further explained that, though
tho general went to lied a llttlo after I)
o'clock last night, ho did not sleep until
about 11 o'clock. From that tlmo through
tho night tho patient had slept well with
few breaks of wakefulness, and tho doctor
had not been called until 7 o'clock this
morning, when ho cloausod aud treated tho
general's throat with cocalno. At that
tlmo tho general's volco had been clearer
than at any tlmo slnco his arrival hero.
When tho doctor was called at 7 o'clock
tho sick man's pulso was 03, but after ho
had become thoroughly aroused by tlio
doctor working over him the pulso beats had
Increased four beats per mluulc, and regis
tered Vi under tho doctor's thumb. After
this and all through tho forenoon Gen.
Grant remained In his bed of. chairs. It
was after midday when ho got up to begin
his first Sunday on tho mountain, aud It was
about 1 o'clock when bo mada his first op
peantneo on tho piazza. Ho woro tho now
suit ho donned yesterday and seated him
ftlf In a willow armed chair ou the north
veranda of tho cottago. Then when a
caller at this tlmo asked his physician
how his natlcnt found hlmsolf unon rlslnr
ho was told that tho general was decidedly
better; that all tho symptoms wcro to-day
decidedly Improved over yesterday. Tho
sick man's volco was not so clear as whon
ho nwoko In tho monilnr;, though It was
quite audible. After slttlu'j ten minutes
listening to tho chat betweon Mrs. Grant,
ono of her daughters-in-law, and Dr. Doug
las, the general aroso aud walked Into tho
room used hero as an ofllco. IIo secured a
pad of paper, returned to his chair, put on
Ills spectacles, and began writing. While
so engaged tho family was called to lunch
In tho cottago. Dr. Douglas wrapped n
blanket about his patient's legs, and then
went up to tho hotel for his lunch. Gen.
Grant was thus left alone unon tho nlazza.
aud ho wroto steadily 011 during three
quarters of an hour until 3 o'clock. Then
bo handed his pad aud manuscript to Har
rison, who took them Inside. Another
block of war history had been prepared for
Insertion nt tho proper placo In tho gen
eral's memoirs. When tho llttlo mountain
engine pulled Its two llttlo cars up from
Saratoga at 3.30, and uuloadcd a hundred
people upon tho platform of tho llttlo rustic
depot on top of tho mountain, Gen. Grant
was sitting upon tho cottago stoop. Tho
visitors strolled up tho elopo past tho cot
tago In a procession of twos aud threes.
An Impulso was obeyed to saluto
tho ccncral with lifted hats, aiul ho.
pleased to sco visitors who do not talk to
and tiro him a half dozen times, removed
his silk hat from his head with firm nour
ishes, and so returned tho grcotlngs of tho
llttlo procession ta It filed up tho slopo to
tho hotel. Old Guard Wlllcts, In Grand
Army uniform, had stood at tho foot of tho
steps to prevent unduly curious persons from
crowding near or speaking to tho general.
Though cotpjhlng a trifle inoro than yester
day, tlio'gcuernl was having a peaceful Sun
day, qulto different In tomneraturo and at
mosphcro from tho sunorucatcd Sabbath
tho patient last spent lu Now York, a weok
ago.
After tho family had dined to-night tho
general sat with them upon tho piazza un
til nearly 8 o'clock, when ho went Indoors
and did not ronppcar. Ho had walked less
than usual during tho day. Ills writing
has drawn upon the strength usually do
voted to oxcrclso. Ilctwcou 8 audi) o'clock
Dr. Douglas saw his patient composed
In his chair for the night, but tho general
did not fall asleep until 10.30 o'clock. Soon
after this Dr. Douglas, In answer to an In
quiry, said that tho general had complained
of soma pain during tho evening, but that
it was soon relieved. Tho area of tho out
sldo swelling, tho doctor judged, was less
tlion last Sunday, and his throat lnsldo was
no worso. Iho amount of expec
toration was not materially Increased or
diminished. Tho physician saw no reason
more than usual to apprehend a wakeful
night for tho general, and emphasized his
assurance by going to bed at'll o'clock. A
llttlo whllo after tho lights In, tho cottago
wcro put out, except tho light' In Iho gen
eral's room.
Midnight Tlio cottago Is quiet and dark,
except tho dim light lu tho sick room.

Besides, It authorized auy trustco to set

"What Is being dono under tills permis

chief work dona Is, I understand, sowing
by tho girls nnd making paper bags bv tho

has been dono In tho division under my
chargo has been by tho voluntary action of
toacbers; n llttlo sowing. I expect to profit
by tho cxpcrlcnco of tho trustees I havo
named, and to do something next year."
"This Is a small beginning, Is It nott"
"It Is not qulto all. A year or two ago
Iho board entered Into relations with tho
Industrial Homo School, on tho outskirts of
Georgetown, by which It appoints a teacher
there, and supervises tho methods of school
Instruction. Trustco Curtis has tho matter
under his charge, and can tell you all about
It, Tho homo was built up chiefly by prl
ato bcucvolcnco and Individual effort,
aided by soma congressional appropria

aro largo enough for a very largo garden,
a small farm, and thoro aro shopB. When I
was thcro last, tho children wcro worltlng
at gardening, snocmauins, wood. carving,
and wero handling carpenters' and black
smiths' tools for sundry purposes.' Thogcn
cral management Is lu tho hands of n board
ot directors, of which Trustco Curtis Is a
member. Tho Institution Is a success and
may furnish many hints for tho school
board.
"Is that tho only Institution of tho kind
In tho District V"
"Thcro Is tho Metropolitan Industrial
School, established by ladles two j cars ago,
for tho benefit of while children. It Is
working well, and tho llttlo fellows will In
terest tho visitor. It relies for support
upon donations, and money cannot bo given
any whero for n nobler nnd purer purpose
You can find out all about It from Mrs.
Dcanc, tho treasurer and founder.
"I should mention, too, tho Frcodmon's
Orphan Asylum, west of Seventh street,
half way up Howard University hill. This
Is ono of tho best managed Institutions of
tho kind. Tho children aro carefully trained
lu habits of Industry', and aro especially ex
pert In knitting, sewing, nnd cooltcry. Thoy
aro cheerful aud bright, showing all tlio
marks of loving caro. I do not know tho
matron's namo."
"Is thcro an Industrial department lu auy
of tho colleges?"
"Howard Uulvorslty has ono. I under
stand that facilities aro given for learning
tho uso of tools In six trades and that it has
been successful enough to Justify Its con
tinuance." "Do you think tho school board will In
troduce Industrial education Into tho public
schools?"
"To tho" best of my belief every trustco
favors Industrial education tho training of
tho hand as well as of tho mind. Judgo
MacArthur's book has greatly strengthened
their Interest lu the subject by giving nclcar
statement of essays mado elsewhere. But
tho problem of how to councct Industry
with our largo system of public schools
has not been clearly solved. Tho
first difficulty Is tho want of competent
teachers. Out of nlncty-clght In tho second
division ninety-four aro ladles, and 110110 of
them, so faros I know, can wield tho broad
ox or thajackplane. Wo must havo special
ists who can teach and work. Thcso aro
being taught at tho Slovens -Institute,
tho Boston Technological Institute, tho
Worcester school, and ono or two others.
But tho graduates get high salaries from
railroad companies aud manufacturers, and
can't bo had as teachers, except lu rare
cases. I expect to get In a fow days tho
fdan mado by a Worcester graduate for the
utrdductlou of Industrial teaching Into tho
public schools at Pullman, III.
"Before entering upon any dcllnltoplan
tho board must study all tho conditions of
success as shown by experiments elsewhere.
iiicso aro ncingmauo nr, rniiaueipnia, 110s

"Will tho board establish any night

"It has shown tho disposition to do so.

thcro will probably bo steps taken at onco

from tho time he first met Christ to tho
time of his crucifixion at old Babylon a
great chango had been passing in him. Ho

martyrdom about A. D. OS. In this period
of forty-two years, or thereabout, this
moral and spiritual change took placo. IIo
was In every element which goes to mako
up a personal Identity, tho samo man all

tity Is one of tho greatest mysteries
of creative existence; and It Is sus
ceptible of so many changes physically
aud spiritually, bodily aud mentally, In
tellectually and morally that It can bo said
with truth that n man Is tlio samo man that
ho was forty j ears ago, and yet that ho Is
not tho same man. But whatever those
changes may bo lu a man, thoy pertain
chlclly to his course of life, and the courso
of a Christian llfo Is npinwth away from
tho transitory to tho enduring. It was this

mid Doctrliivs r tho Disciples, Willi
Modern Applications.
l!cv. Dr. ltnbcrt Nourso preached at tho
Tabernacle last evening, choosing as his
text Acts xl: 20 "Aud the disciples wero
called Christians."
"Tho disciples wcro first called Christians
InAiitloch. They wero first called brethren.
'1 hey did not glvo tho preachers tho titlos of
reverend und doctor, and I wish they did
not do so In our da s. Tho word reverend
was never pl en to ministers until 200 years
ago. Our Master said: 'ISo yc not called
riibbl or master; you nro all brclhrcn.' This
term means kindred and variety. It Is a
very great mercy that thero must bo dis
similarity of brethren lu Jesus Christ.
What it blessing It is that this world Is not
left to bo monopolized by oua church.
"In other countries you Hud certain
churches monopolize religion, aud It causes
nigoiry ouu persecution, simpiy uocauso
that church will nut rccogulzo that thcro
must be a-dissimilarity. If thcro is any
thing stupid lu this world It Is to talk with
a man who always agrees with you. Let
us recognize the fact it differences do not
mean hostility.
"Iho disciples wcro also called saints,
Wo havo an Idea that a man Is a saint If ho
Is sanctimonious; If ho Is solemn, with llttlo
sunshine In his face; It ho talks goody-goody
religion occasionally; If ho Is exceedingly
and excessively pious. We havo a popular
Idiit that a saint Is not much ot a man, but
nsort of well, not quite a lunatic; woll,
he you would not llko to tie onto him.
Whllo I cannot dcscrlbo htm, you know
him.
"It you turn to tho biblical meaning of
the word saint you will llnd It Is a man who
Is pood, Wo mid thcro Is a great deal of
dlitcrcnco between a Just and a good man.
A Just man pays all his debts, ho tells tho
truth, toucan rely upon his word, but If
thcro Is a poor man who Issufferiug ho docs
not scud a buif, nud If there Is a sick man
be only Inquires It tho dlseaso Is Infectious.
Perfectly Just, but nothing good about him.
I think tho most unlovable pcoplo lu this
w orld nro tho excessively rlghtoous.
"Another man would not hear a talo of
woo without shedding tears, aud ho cannot
possibly say 'no' to any ono lu distress. In
tho Just and benevolent man thoro Is some
thing good.
"'iho dlsclnlcs wcro also called believers.
You could not glvo n person that namo
unless ho believed somcthliij. Thero are
certain fundamental facts lu our religion
which they believed with all tholr hearts.
Christianity is a personal matter betweon
tho Lord Jesus Christ ami themselves.
Creeds In their placo nro necessary. Scien
tists, musicians, and philosophers all have
their creeds.
"Tho Christians believed In tho Lord
Jesus Christ. Paul said, 'I know In whom
I believe, not in what I behoved.' Thoy
believed in all ho did for them, aud conse
quently they were called bcltovcrs, and so
no man can be a Christian who does not bo
llcvo lu tho Lord Jesus Christ.
"They wcro called disciples. This namo
Is dropped to a great extent, and as wo
havo dropped the word wo havo dropped
tho thought.
"There aro many mysteries in our religion
and thero will continue to bo, and when wo
know tho most it will bo to know this mys
tery. I w ould not givo a cent for a religion
that bus not somo mystery lu It, Tlio mo
ment wo compichcud Clod wo are greater
thuu Ciod himself."

Commlsslun In tlio Intorlor Uopnrt
lnrut Case.
Tho recent action of tho President, lit
emending somo ot tho rules governing
appointments under tho civil service law,
lias given rlso Io a conflict of power betweon
the civil service commission and tho pres
ent administration. Thcso rumors wcro not
without somo foundation, but wcro exag
gerated, and of coltrso met with emphatic;
denial from members of tho commission and
such mcmlicrs ot Iho Cabinet as would com
mit themselves. During tho second week of
President Cleveland's administration
The National Hr.runi.icus pub
llsbcd the views ot tho members of a.
majority ot tho Cabinet upon tho subject ot
t Is. 11 service. Tho views wcro strictly lu
accord with those of tho President ns con
tained In his Inaugural address, each Cabl
net olllccr saying that tho law would bo
maintained and that they believed such a
course would Insure good government, lu
that tho conduct of national affairs would
be placid tn competent hands.
1 be law was maintained and enforced,
mtiih to tho disgust of some, but Indorsed
by the bitter class of Democrats and Inde
pendent!, to whom President Clevclaud
ones his election. That was thrco months
ago, nud no appointment mado was charged
as a violation of the law. In several Inter
lens tho mcmlicrs of tho commission
sanctioned tho courso ot tho administration
In making appointments "legitimately and
In strict compliance of the law," as Mr.
Fuloii Is quoted by nu eastern paper.
An appointment made by Secretary Latmr
ralsid u question which neither tho Secre
tary tior commission has attempted to ex
plain. Tho appointment was that of att
l,f 00 clerk, whn was "designated" ns chief
of the dlt Islon of accounts of tho general
laud ulllce. It becamo a mutter of common
gncslp when no explanation was vouchsafed
I hat none would bo given, and that an Issuo
bttween the Cabinet und tho commission hail
I cut created. Furthermore It was said that
one of the commission (Mr. Katou) would
rislgn. Tho cause of such action was said
Io bo tho President's declination to Inter
fere In tho matter and Secretary Lamar's
continued refusal to revoke tho appoint
ment, Mr. L'aton, when seen at the commission
rncms lost w eck, denied emphatically that
tlmo existed auy troublo between tho com
mission and tho President, or that tho ap
pointment In question was cither a direct
or Indirect tlolatlon of the civil service law.
To substantiate his asccrtlou the register of
the land ofllce was shown, lu which' thu ap
pointment was given as n matter of "desig
nation." Ill explaining the latter term Mr.
Eaton said: "1 hero Is no chief of that di
vision provided for. It Is mado under tho
regulations of Iho department, which pro
vides that nu $l,bO0 clerk can bo nude tho
chief ut division without a civil service ex
amination." "But, Mr. F.aton, can tho oppolntmcnt ot
an $1,EC0 clerk, or any clerk lu tho classified
service, bo made without such nu cxami
nallonl" askesl tho rcportor.
Although this was it direct Inquiry, Sir.
Eaton did not probably lcgard It so, for ho
said, "Pardon me, until I get through. As
I told sou, tho appointment of chief ot
the division of accounts Is simply a techni
cal designation, aud tho Incumbent is rated
as an ?1,800 clerk, endowed by tho Secretary
of tho Interior with tho power to oxecutu
tho functions of tho olflcc. Such an ap
pointment you can plainly sco does not
rrnnn. wlUifii the., ecopo. oL clvlL.pcrvlCO
ru cs. it Is provided lor clsewlicre."
Tho reporter did not plainly soo
tho propriety ot appointing a por
toii to an fl.cOO appointment with
out an examination, as required
by law, and said so, but Mr. Eaton Ignored
thu facts of tho case, and went ou to say
that us for thcro being any "troublo between
any member or members ot the Cabinet and
myself It Is absurd. Tho commission was
assured of tho hearty co-operation ot the
President, nud wo havo received It. Thero
Is no rupture. I am a Itepubllcan, but.
think thai I havo tecclvcd tho support of
the present administration because it Is n
