M-The slight febrile rise which first became
noticeable about o'clock this Afternoon
reached its maxim at the evening examina

ing quietly. No reasons are assigned by the
attending surgeons for the reappearance Of
the febrile symptoms after an interval OF
more than thirty-six hours of normal tenn
perature. The circumstance, however,
causes no particular uneasiness, and the fever
has almost subsided. A slight fever in the
evening has been feature of the Presidents
case every day, except yesterday, for two
weeks. The patient was moved back to his
own room about 5 o'clock this afternoon.
FOURTH DISPATCH
WASHINGTON. July 2S.h.-About ) P. NJ.
there was recurrence of the Presidents
afternoon fevers. The evening bulletin
showed an increase in pulse, temperature
and respiration. The fever subsidized shortly
after o'clock. 1t was caused by the stoppage
of the drainage tube, which prevented the
regular flow of pus. As soon as this was ascer-
tanned the tube was cleaned and the flow re-
sumed. The fever then went down, and the
President rested quietly, with continuation
of very favorable symptoms. The physicians,
Including DR.. Hamilton, continue tonight to
express the brightest hopes. They regard the
crisis as successfully passed, and the Presi-
dent will recover, almost beyond doubt.
There were few visitors at the White House
to-day and tonight, and were assured that
the President was doing admirably.
Mrs. Guitteau's Divorce from Charles j.
NEW YORK, July 2Sth.-The Brooklyn
Eagle prints to-day the story of the proceed
ings in the action brought in the Kings coun-
ty Supreme Court in the fall of 1873 by Annie
J. Guitteau against the now notorious Charles
J. Guitteau, for an absolute divorce, on the
ground of infdelity. The case was referred
to Louis Fuller, as referee, to take testimony
and report. The case came on for hearing in
June, 1874. Mrs. Guitteau produced but three
witnesses, and one of those was her husband,
who appeared voluntarily. He testified that
he was her husband, and had resided in New
York State for more than a year, which, as
the law then stood, was all he could testify to
in divorce case to which he was party.
The third witness was the principal one, and
her appearance would indicate that Guitteau
helped to prove the case against himself.
This witness was Clara Jennings. She testi-
fed that she had known Guitteau since the
previous August, and that the charges of in
fidelity against him were true. 1t is be-
heved that Guitteau secured the attendance
of this witness, and it is said he first informed
his wife of his infidelity, and gave her the
necessary information to enable her to secure
the divorce. He put in 10 defense, and the
referee reported in favor of the plaintiff.
On the 4th of April following a motion was
made before Justice Pratt to confirm the re-
port of the referee, and between that date
and the 18th of the same month the Judge
handed down decision confirming the report
and signing the decree of divorce. In the
fall of 1873, when the divorce proceedings
were in progress, and while Guitteau was
carrying on lis iason with Clara jennings,
he was frequenting the rooms of the New
York Young Mems Christian Association,
and his name is on the books of that institu-
ton az q visitor and was a member of Cal
vary Baptist Church, and attended the
religious services of the church. After the
divorce was granted, Guitteau was cited to
appear before the committee on the discipline
of the church, and when be appeared he con-
fessed his immoralities and professed peni-
tence, but the committee had no faith in his
professions, and expelled him from the
church.

second time urges Baltimoreans to subscribe

instant The Amtricdn says 1t must be
confessed that our citizens have so far shown
little disposition to contribute to this project
not, rs we believe, because they are at all
lacking in generous feeling, but because they
think the movement is ill-timed and in bad
taste.

NV York, July 2Sth.-The Erening Post
says: 1t was announced last week that the
first lot of peaches ever brought from Califor-
MIA in sound condition had appeared upon

do with the present success, it being well

year than another. 1t Is too soon to say
