A Panic Among the Department
Clerks.

Washington, May 4.-There Is
whispered CONSERVATION among the
clerks Of the Departments over re-
port that lists are being made out Of
all thesclerks, how long in service and
the influences which secured their
appointment-in other words, their
political backing. The report proba-
bly, originated from the fact that the
Blue Book for 1881 is being gotten up,
in which the names of all G0vernment
employees will be given. The clerks
are in panicky condition at best and
easily frightened by ghost stories.

THE BEST YET.

An Extraordinary Change for the Better.
LONG BRANCH, Sept. S.-Dr. Bliss says the
pure atmosphere is commencing to have its
effects This extraordinary change indicates
convalescence and every indication it will be
permanent The gland and wound are doing
well. We will be able to get the President in
connition to make communication to Con-
gress vet if this continues. No whiskey has
been given him since last night. have
stopped the enemata and shall not give him
any more unless it becomes necessary, The
patient to-day has had some woodcock, beef
extract, milk porridge and some toast. He
takes it with great relish. He could eat more
than would be good for him. This is the first
time he has really relished his food for some
time.
At 10 O'Clock tonight DR.. Bliss stated that
the Presidents pulse had risen to 10S since the
evening bulletin. This is attributed to the
usual febrile rise and occasions little or no ap-
prehension.
Dr. Hamilton said everything looked we'll
end the case is very promising.

THE PRESIDENT PASSES THE BEST
DAY FOR A MONTH.

Yesterday was not nearly SO hot as the day
previous, and the invigorating effect of the sea
breeze was soon apparent on the President.
His pulse dropped to 81 and his general APP
pearance was greatly improved. DR.. Bliss re-
marked it was thebest day the President had
passed for month, and even Secretary Blaine
partook of the feeling of buoyancy which per-
vaded all as will be noticed by his despatch to
Minister Lowell. The Presidents pulse, it is
true, rose to 10S last evening, but that was
not considered a bad feature, and the surgeon
says the President may be- considered as con-
valescing A report that he had vomited dur
ing the evening has been contradicted.
