TIE GLOOM LIFTED.
This evenings Star says:
last night was very good one Tor The
President. There was no comparison be-
tween it and the night before, so much bet
ter was last night. The President slept
well. and the administration OF morphine
was in a reduced quantity. Everything
was bright and cheerful about the Wnile
House this morning. Everybody was in
the best OF spirits. The doctors also par
took OF the general sunshine. They
acted and spoke most confidently. The
gloom OF Yesterday was entirely lifted,
and there was not shadow OF fear any
where. While this Joy is apparent ii is tenn
pered somewhat by tbe fact that recent re-
lapses in the Presidents condition have at
times put a wet blanket over the bright
hopes and expressions OF confidence. From
all the accounts that come from the sick
room last night was one OF the best-if not
the very best-tbat the President has pissed
since he was injured. The fever was very
slight. and there was no recurrence OF rigor.
The bulletin issued this morning was Ger.
family the best that has come from the White
House at that bour."

this morning than at any time since she

ride last evening aud returned feeling re
fresbed, and that her husbands present
condition is very encouraging to her,"
THE CRISIS BELIEVED TO BE PASSED.

was doing very well. Dr.. Bliss said there
