The PRESIDENTS FEVER
Arising From Transien, Causes.

Arising From Transicn, Causes.
A dispatch which was sent out from
Washington just before midniSht last
night says:
The presidents afternoon fever was a
little more strongly marked tonight than
last night, the pulse showing an increase
of four beats, the temperature rise of
five-tenths, respiration slight correspond
ing acceleratiOn as compared with maxi
mum Of yesterday. 1t is proper to say, by
way Of comment upon the bulletins to-
day, that the facts therein stated give no
uneasiness to the attending surgeons.
There is slight increase in fever, but 1t
arises from known causes and is undOubt-
edly transient in its character. The
reasons assigned for it are as fol-
lows: The president, during the past
three days and more, and especially to-
day, has taken largely increased guam
titles of solid food. His stomach is still
sensitive ard manifests its sensitiveness
when in any way overtaxed by symptoms
of disturbance. Such was the case to-day
and this gastric trouble is thought to have
been instrumental in aggravating the
symptoms. The president this afternoon
,became overworried in the hand of 4 bar
ber. He expressed desire to have his
beard and hair trimmed and his head rub
bed, and at his request a barber was sum-
mOned. The latter spent some time in
rubbing him, and although the immediate
effects were pleasurable. the results were
Overfatigue and increased feverishness.
Aside, however, from the transient rise in
the pulse and temperature the president $
symptoms continue to be favorable. DR..
Bliss, upon being asked at II: 80 to-night
whether there was anything in the pa
TENTS condition to justify uneasiness, re
piled: "Nothing whatever. He is doing
we'll. The fever is subsiding. His pulse is
below 100 again and he is sleeping
quietly. He became little oyerwearied
this afternoon, but he will probably be as
well as usual tomorrow morning. In
reply to question with regard to the
wound DR.. Bliss says: "The work Of sup
puratiOn is going on satisfactorily and the
track of the bali is slowly being cleared by
the discharge. In dressing the wound to.
night the flexible drainage tube without
the cxertiOn of the Least force dropped
into the depth Of five and half inches,
showing that the wound is clear and open
to that distance. 1t has been said by per-
sons who have never seen the president
since his injury that the bullet probably
did not enter the cavity Gf the body at
all. Our experience with the drainage
tube tonight confirms our previous ex-
pressed judgment that the bullet did en-
ter the abdominal cavity and pierce the
liver. l believe that it passed through
that organ and is lodged in tho anterior
wall OF the abdomen" In conclusion DR..
Bliss said that there was nothing in the
president symptoms to cause anxiety or
to indicate that he is not progressing as
favorably as could be expected. At II 80
the presidents pulse was.9G and he is
sleeping quietly.

A FRAUD on Fie:d.


Ohio is slightly backward in coming for
ward with its contributions to the fund
for Mrs. Garfield. In fact the only sub
scription received from that state by Mr..
Cyrus w. Field has turned out to be a
forgery. A New York telegram explains
the matter as follows "The worst imposi-
tion was practiced OH Mr.. Field to-day by
some silly if not malicious persons in
Cincinnati. He received a postal card
with the Cincinnati stamp on it, and this
message: "Draw on me for $1,000 for
Mrs. Garfields fund.-" signed Samuel Fos-
dick, Cincinnati, July II. Mr.. Field
thought it rather singular that SO import.
ant message should be sent on postal
card, and sent it with note of inquiry to
a former citizen of Cincinnati, who replied
that FOsdick was very wealthy old gen.
tlemen, and that it was probably all right,
though he expressed some surprise at the
largeness of the gift. The fact'that the
signature was plainly not written by
an old man was explained by the former

Fairfield, July 1s, 1881.
DEAR iNTELLIGENCER send you here
with Il bu. which you will oblige me by
handing it to DR.. Rathvon and publishing
his account of it's pedigree through your
columns. Personally, am not very partial
to bugs as they seem to delight to hover
around me, and rs familiarity breeds
contempt" my intercourse with them on
my part is generally favored with the
double concentrated extract of warm
weather profanity.
The specimen Was found at Mr.. Alvin
Cutters barn, near Fites Eddy, by Mr..
Ed. Hewes and brought to me with the
request to do with it what have done.
Mr.. Hewes pinned the bug to board to
keep it from blowing while he was at
work-an unusual thing fo- Hewcs to do,
work-and an appreciative bird came
along and devoured part of thu treasure,
ut which misfortune Hewes wept.
Truly, WILL. F. NCSPARRAN.
