MT. McGREGOR, July 18.—General Grant slept less than usual last night, owing to the stifling closeness of the atmosphere, which rendered sleep well nigh impossible for the members of the General's family and others on the mountain. The patient was quiet and without pain and dozed much of the time but did not enjoy his sound sleep until late, and then had only had about four hours of solid sleep. His pulse this morning was about 80, and, although he was feeling listless, as a result of a restless night, he showed little weakness.
This morning he left his room at about 6 o'clock and went to sit on the veranda in the cool morning breeze. He spent the day quietly on the piazza and in the cottage, and retired between 8 and 9 o'clock. He is weaker to-night than for several days past. Dr. Douglas anticipates a quiet night.
