4 GRATIFYING BULLETIN.

have always becu Qny OF anxiety. lnd some-
times 4 critical day. To-day, however, secmst to
have been IN exception. to the rule.
The morning bulletin was most
gratifying one, and seemed to gTcAt!y
restore confidence. The Presidents pulse had
gone down two beats since yesterday morning,
but III other respects the figures were the slime
us yesterday. The nlurnillg bulletin: though
WIS assuring, inasmueh it indicated no un-
favorable symptoms, and reports unOtlctAlly
received from tho sick room were that tho Pres
idcnt was doing wrlt,-thut his stomach was re-
gaining tone, and that he continued 10 take and
retain nourshing food. Tho swelling Of tho
pnrotid gland had also subsidized, and 1t was less
painful, and, in tho opinion Of tho doctors, 1t
WOULD NOT FORM AN AHsCESs,
but scatter, and it Was not believed 1t would mp
pear elsewhere. The President has had a Euod
dag and is resting well tonight. Drs Bliss and
Neyburn said tonight thar the President Wl3
satisfactorily, that tho wound WIS
heaIiu. rapidly, and Ill now depended OIL tho
stomach. The swelling Of the pArotid gland still
causes SOME pain. but 1t does not interfere with
taking food, rs all that Is administered is til
liquid torn. The Presidents stomach is grnd-
lla!ly growing stronger, nnd the surgeuns fet1
very confident The President has likcn moro
to-day than yesterday Now most
OF the nouriShment Is vycn by the mouth, and
the cnetnata are being reduced. 1t can be
stuffed that the President is doing timely. aud
strong hupcs of his recovery may now be enter
tuincd.

as having passed comfortable night, sleep

morning his pulse was &C. and temperature
apparently about normal.

The President las taken nourisllment
through the mouth several times to-day, and
in considerable quantities. In he has swal-
lowed about ten ounces of koumiss and four
ounces OF milk Cruel. without any indications of

prudent, up to the present time, to give him
any other kind Of liquid food hut juice Of beef

nenceforth be given every day An enema

saying that there has been slight change for

outlook Tonight is favorable. The President,
however. is extremely weak, and improve

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 2t.-The news
from the White House to-day has not been
as reassuring as llud been hoped. The presl-
dent is no worse, but it is difficult to state in

the fact that he is no worse should be taken
as an Indication that he is better: but we
have been SO long indulging in strained theo-
ries Of that sort that such all assumption
affords very little encouragement. The
truth is, the President is very sick

his attending physicians do not vent

is even on the road to recovery. '"tHe is get
