be elected as his successor. Slr George ls laid lo have

that reason he |s willing lo sui render his place to Mr.
Van Home. It could not be learned thal the chango
would certainly t-e mode today, but the subject will

the threatenod ret liniment ol President Stephen was
owing, tn part, to ibo biller opposition by American
Kill mads In consequence of tho evident efforts of tho

' General Sheridan's denth has settled heavily
i Noiiqult. The suddenness of it adds to tho
rrow. For ten days a few persons have been
vam thnt flu- QsBBta] was not gaining. On
Map he passed a POOS day and on Sunday he
ns restless nnd nervous to an unusual degree.
le statements of Dr. O'Keilly und the conflrma
*>n given them by Dr. IhffBg on Saturday went
r toward allaying any suspicion that tho end
is so near. Indeed, on tho very day of his
ii th, tin* family made no chango in their regular
stoms and at noon tho General's wife went in
thing with Cohan 1 Sheridan and bis wife and
r. O'Keilly. The phys.duns seemed free from
iy BBBSttSl onre in the BftefRSOR nnd early;
enlng. At sappe* tim" Mrs. Sln-rid.in said to
friend thal tlie GeBOSn] was not feeling as well
he had been. In the forenoon he had the
(I placed by the window opening on the piazza,
i'i watched tha boats (Kissing to and fro, as was
s custom, ile ate dinner with eiidiut relish
id as usual Mrs, Sh'-udan carri'*'! Ins supper

B cottage for the night and w.-nt to Ihfl hotel.
At hitlf-|>nst Q indications of an attack of tho
eoded heart failure were observed. From that
mo till 10 i-0 thl physicians endeavored to ob
in relief lor lin- softens and to rally his forces,
it without mail. Ha was propped up with pil
WS I short tim.' before ha died, and when his lifo
;is pronounced extinct, Mrs. Sheridnn could not
?lieve it. Sh- tonk hold of th" General and franc
colly tried to make him s-ioak to lu-r or recognize
?r. When tho truth was ffltofld upon her, tha
IOI munghi wife fell upon the floor. Drs.
Bellly nnd Matthews Raw present, with the Sis*
n Justinii.a and Urban, Mrs. Sheridan and Klein,
,e faithful body servant.
The four children Wetfl sleeping upstairs. They
id bade their father B last good night and slops

ves. Tho llttlo girls appreciate th"ir loss. They
ved tholr father dearly, ami their grief is sad to
o. Little Phil, who has been tho General's prida
id delight, hardly realizes tho whole truth. Only;
st night he was telling with funny little gestures
ow tho children, ono after another, went through
siege of measles and chickenpox, and then how
amma wns sk-k after thut, " and then papa, ho
as taken sick?and,"' after a sorrowful little gost*
re, " lie's been sick ever since.?
Tho heall failure had looted half nn hour beford
ie doctors realized that it would bo fatal Tha
lfforor lay quietly, as if in a natural state of rest*
hen tho physici-MM felt his pulse, they discov*
?od that it had almost disappeared and that ho
as sinking beyond human r'-aeh. That was the
pst premonition that Sheridan was going to
iold to this attack. Kc recognized Mrs. Sheri
un shortly before be expired. No last words that
ia ll descend to posterity as a dying hero's cry*
< r* said. In that last hour tho soldier and hil
lory were lost in domestic affection, and the last
ords ho spoke wire of his beloved family and,
_oir future.
