LOCATION OF THE BALL.
There is grood ground for saying tina
the removal of the President here fur
ther jolted the unencysted ball deepel
somewhere, perhaps into the abdomina
cavity. 1t Is also true that the high pulls
aud increased fever-the alarming symp
toms Of the last three weeks--have al
been caused by insnition, resulting from
the pressure of the ball. Each move
ment OF It has been like the origins
shock, resulting in temporary low tenn
persture and pulse, followed by higl
pulse and increasing temperature. Th
wound 10 not healing, and what II III
, suspected metastic abscAsses 10 the lung
should be caused by the Increased septi
condition of the circulating system? Th
. enemas have been prudently discontir
ued TO allow the bowels to recover . bl
of their natural ssnsitiveness and the In
vigorstlng quality Of the ocean breeze Il
to be temporarily relied upon for capa
city to take solid food. Capacity It ia
for he has no appetite. He fancies b
could eat certain articles, but does no
crave f,r them. A sign OF an appetit,
would be more acceptable to the watch

ali the wealth of Long Branch.
THE BALL FOUND.
II Is understood tonight that the dot
, tors have discovered that the ball 10 no,
10 the psoas muscle, near the interni
lilac artery, aud that the danger now
that from liberation, or, II the ball has
Jagged edge, that the artery may
opened and fatal hemorrhage follow
|, The operation for the rem oval OF th
ball, II performed, would be one Of th
most delicate in surgery, to say notbinI
of the patients present condition. 1t
reported 10 be so serious matter tina
even the operations might prove fatal
This has been the apprehension Of th'
medical faculty ever since 1t was repor
ted that the ball had not encysted, an,
} reference was made in these despatche
| two weeks ago that there was danger Il
the internal lilac artery, especially II tn
ball had sharp or jagged edge.
