Gu1rEAU GAINING IN FLESH.

GUITEAU GAINING IN FLESH.
 The only new thing in connection with Guiteau to-day seems to be that he is getting fat, notwithstanding he complains of his diet.
 THE ZEAL OF THE TEMPERANCE MEN. The President is much amused by the fear some temperance people seem to have about | the rum and wine he has consumed. The | truth is that the President so far since the shooting has not consumed over pint of l rum and wine combined. In no one day has he taken over eight teaspoonfuls of rum and that in diluted form. The President, while l not total abstainer, is strictly temperate in all his habits He has no particular fond ness for strong drink. P. H. Cusack, of Marion, Ohio, telegraphs to the President l that the Catholic Total Abstinence Union in convention assembled send him greetings and prayers for his speedy recovery. THE PATIENT ANXIOUS FOR SAIL. The President is said to have lost about thirty pounds of flesh. The patient has done famously to-day, as Dr. Reyburn ex- presses it. He evinces deep interest in the subject of the proposed ocean trip. He is anxious to have date fixed for the start Dr. Bliss tells him they will fix a date per- haps this week. but it cannot be within two or three weeks yet. Dr. Bliss says any prep arations now being made on the Tallapoosa must be on general principles. "A sea voy- age will be the first thing, but no plans have been made. He is convalescing finely. There are dangers which might arise yet, but they are so remote that we do not really fear them. The President is gaining strength. His appetite is good and his digestion is good. His wound has begun to heal from the inside. The President is now confident of recovery. At first told him he had but one chance, but since the favorable symp- toms set in and his progress has been 50 reg ular we have treasured him. But it is not lima fn r1a1xa raadv for io11i6oation CELEBRATION OF HIS RECOVERY.
 The local interest taken in the proposed celebration of some kind still continues brisk. The general idea seems to be that too much of demonstration of popular joy cannot be made in the event of the Presidents ultimate recovery, and many favor a joining of the Fourth of July, Washington's birthday, Christmas and Thanksgiving into one grand day and crowd into that every possible exhi- bition of popular delight that unanimity, patriotism and enthusiasm can devise.
 DAY OF STEADY PROGRESS.
 The entire day was one of steady progress in the Presidents case and in the right direc- ton. The turn of the fever this evening was so slight that the maximum temperature did not reach 100, while the pulse was only 69, with respiration remaining about normal. To use the words of MT. Crump, the nurse, ''The President has sometimes been as troublesome asleep as awake, but now he is no trouble anyway, " which means that he sleeps quietly and is not uncomfortable when awake. The discharge of pus was microscopy ically examined again this evening, but no further evidence was discovered. Dr. Bliss stated tonight that he did not supp there was any more cloth in the wound than the little piece of cotton found this morning. It was probably 6 piece of the Presidents neither garment, and had it been aeeompan- jed by other fragments they would have probably come out first. This voluntary emission is considered as evidence of the ex- eellent condition of the wound. The rega- lar diet was continued this morning and the usual snedyns was administered. Mrs. Gar field and children wsnt eHt te ride after diH- ner and when they returned he wss sleeping nicely. He slept most of ths time until midz night, at which hour all the symptoms rss maiaed faveFabis.
