frightened, for expected to be called at least
twice before morning. ] ran into his room,
and there he was sleeping so soundly that
envied him.
BY the time got dressed it was o'clock.
and then he awoke. His pulse was ITO, but
that was because he was actually tired sleeping
in one position and needed change. L turned
him over and down went the pulse to 104.
How is the PRESIDENT J asked him: Better
almost WE'LL said Garfield, with contented
smile; 81 have turned over new leaf. How
are you, old fellow? You are scker than am
He knew l was pretty we'll tagged out, and
supposed l look it. If l had allowed it he
would have gone on that way for ten minutes.
| washed him then and opened two little pus
blisters that l found under his arm. 1t is
wonderful how sensitive he is to many little
things which would not affect most men. The
discharge of pus from each was about as much
as would have filled pea, and yet if had not
got it out his pulse would have showed it. We
have thus far opened ten of these small abb
scesses in ALL
He is sensitive in every way We would
give up the enema if his stomach was not SO
sensitive about stimulants, but he cannot even
take little champagne and ice, and we must
give him stimulants yet awhile. He would
not be alive had we not persevered in keeping
him up with brandy and beef extract When
got him dressed this forenoon was well sat
isfied with the appearance of the wound. IL
looks much better than for the last week, and
the paIOtld gland Will not trouble nln al ali
after to-day. The dressing of the wound sent
his pulse to 109, and that is what we put in the
bulletins, but it is lower than that now. While
/ was dressing him he said that he had felt the
sea air even in his sleep, and every time he
awoke which was not more than SIX or seven
times during the night, he mentioned the deli
cious quality of the air to Dr. Reyburn:: We
had the window open all night, with the blinds
partly closed. OF course, to-day is going to be
hotter than we want it, but it cannot get up
to the Washington heat The President is not
a bit afraid of it. He was demanding squirrel
soup when L started for breakfast; said he
wanted something gamy. told him that
squirrel was not game, but he insisted that it
was. We shall not issue any bulletin again
until tonight. There is no use in doing it.
1t is probable that there will be nothing more
to say; we have managed to stop the down.
hill course. There will be period of a day or
two, perhaps longer, in which no great change
will be perceptible. and then the tide of health
will begin to flow in. That's a happy house,
hold over there said DR.. Bliss, as he lit the
third cigar of the morning, and pointed to the
Francklyn Cottage, and DR.. Bliss looked as if
he fully shared this happiness.

HOW HE PASSED THE NIGHT.

A Very Cheering Report from Dr. Barnes.
Especial Dispatch to the Boston Journal
LONG BRANCH, N. j., Sept. T. ELBERoN,
n. jill o'clock A. M. The fever was so high
when last nights bulletin was announced, that
this morning the official statement of the
Presidents condition was awaited with inter-
est. 1t was ready by eight O'Clock, but it was
nine before it appeared. L met DIR. Barnes
strolling aroung the grounds at II o'clock, and
not say enough, although he is usually more
than reticent in his conversation with news
paper men. If Gen. Barnes is to be believed,
the President is on the high road toward re-
covery. This was the first word that had been
received from the medical staff, and its pur-
port quickly spread.
According to DR.. Barnes, the President had
slept better than for weeks, and awoke this
morning with the remark that "Richard was
himself again" which shows that the sea air
has already restored the Presidents proverbial
good humor. 1t was when his good humor
and courage gave way, a few weeks ago, to
sort OF disheartened apathy, that Col. Rock
we'll and DIR. Bliss were most anxious. 1t was
only merely to allow DR.. Bliss to get good
breakfast before putting him through the usn-
al morning examination that the bulletin was
delayed.
When Dr. Bliss left Washington yesterday
morning he had not closed his eyes for 43
hours "Last night was SO tired" he said to
me this morning, that would have given
thousand dollars for good square ten hours
sleep. had doze from ten to eleven, and
then, after looking after the President at
eleven, told Reyburn that l would go to bed.
My room is right next to the President and he
could call me if l was wanted. l dropped of
to sleep almost before got my clothes off, and
when awoke it was daylight. l YVES actually
