DIR. EDISON.
New York, THE ITi6lL11e'S Ell
boron correspondent interviewed
Mrs. DR.. Edison, who said the Pres
ident is holding his own, which
means that he is doing as we'll as
can be expected thus soon after the
trial Of yesterday. He slept the
heavy sleep of a tired person last
night, and it was not as refreshing
as the same amount of sleep gene
rally is. Still he seemed quite bright
this morning. When asked if he
felt any better R4an yesterday, he
said, Eyes, l feel somewhat rested"
He was awakened every two hours
to take nourishment, which was
alternately porridge and beef juice.
| AS soon as he had taken this he fell
asleep again, so that he had an al
most continuous sleep from IL un-
til 5. A little while after sunrise he
looked at me and said, "The sun is
up, isn't it ?" Then he turned his
head toward the window, through
the blinds of which a few rays of
sun were streaming, and said,
'WOuld you please open the blinds
a little so that l can see out" |
opened the blinds when d flood of
sunlight came in upon him. Then
[ went back to his bedside.
When he took hold of my fan,
and y held it up to shade his
eyes. He lay in this position for
several minutes, looki g out upon
the ocean, when he said: Isn't it
go0d?" and with sigh of apparent
satisfaction turned his head back
again. A little later he seemed to
be listening attentively, and l asked
him what he heard? He said: "How
is 1T that / cannot hear the surf this
morning? l heard it last night" |
assured him that the sea was very
-smooth just then, but that he would
hear it again soon. Every time That
he was feeling well when he was at
first shot he was inclined to talk a
great deal, bat then [ was obliged to
hush him up. Now that he can
talk without injury to himself it
makes us feel good 10 hear him, for
we know he must be feeling better
and not so tired and exhausted. He
has not eaten as much as usual, and
it seemed to me as though he took it
more because it was offered and he
thought he needed ROurishment,
than because he reliShed it.
Ht7alG'S Long Branch: DIR. Bliss
said: | have a new reason for hop
ing that the President will recover.
1 have received a letter to which a
seal is attached and which is signed
by the secretary Of an unknown
society of Pennsylvania. 1t in
forms me that if 1 do not cure the
President the society will shoot me.
| do not fear that there will be Oc-
casiOn for executing the threat.
