WASHINGTON EXECUTIVE MANSION -
July 1880 4. M.-Dr. Bliss seems cheer
ful and happy this morning. He thinks
that the Presidents general condition is
better than it was yesterday. AT this hour
his temperature has fallen during the
night, and IS now about the same as il was
yesterday morning. The morning con-
sultation and examination is now progress
ing, and the official morning bulletin will
soon be prepared.
sA. M.-The official bulletin says the
President is doing well this morning.
Pulse, 90; temperature, 98.5; respiration,
20. His gradual progress toward recovery
is manifest, and thus far without serious
complications.
"a. M.-Private Secretary Brown has
just sent the following note to the mem
bers Of the Cabinet: The abatement of
the unfayorable symptoms which made
their appearance OF Monday afternoon
and evening has steadily continued, and at
this hour his pulse is 90; temperature,
9S.5. or normal, and respiration 20, or
within one Of normal. The fever has sub
sided entirely. The President takes readily
all n0urishment allowed by the physicians,
and suffers no inconvenience by it. His
sleep vas more natural and more refresh
ing last night than that Of any other night.
10 A. M.-Colonel Corbin, who has just
visited the Presidents chamber. says he is
satisfied that the fever reached its max
imum on Monday night, and that the
President is very much improved to-day.
HE the day, said the Colonel,
under more favorable circumstances than
any previous period"
8 P. G.-Oficial Bulletin: The Presi-
dents condition continues favorable. Pulse
"a; temperature, 100; respiration, %.
Griscona's Forfy-five-Day Fast.
CHICAGO, July 13.-Griscom's long fast
concluded at moor to-day. In As days be
has lost just 50 pounds; temperature SO,
pulse IS. There were about 200 people
| present to see him eat his first meal. The
table was spread with the bill OF fare al
ready mentioned in former dispatches.
Griscom stated that he had procured every
thing his fancy suggested, not because he
expected to eat it, but to satisfy his imag-
NATION and have just what he might want.
He thought he could eet q full meal with
out injury, but did not intend to do so.
He believed there was great virtue in fast
ing, and he was going to fast longer than
necessary in order to show that it was a
good remedial agent. 1t had once cured
him when the physicians said he must die.
He did not believe in indiscriminate or un-
necessarily prolonged abstinence, but q
moderately well condition OF fasting. At
the conclusion Of his speech he took a COB
let OF milk, and with the deliberation that
had marked his motions all the morning
while experimenting the preparation Of
his breakfast, drank slowly of its contents,
which seemed to tempt him as little as any
Of his observers. Then he cautiously dis
sected SOM milk toast, after which, press
ing his hand to his head, complained of a
slight headache. This passed away, and
he resume practice at the table, drinking
coffee, and little by little taking a nibble at
the contents of most of the dishes. Al
though hungry and possessed of a good
appetite, he was not ~rayenous. The crowd
fingered for an hour or more and then left
the wonder to himself.
What Guiteau's Brother Says.
NEW YORK, July 12.-It is said upon
good authority that one Of Guiteau's let
tiers, now in the possession Of the District
Attorney, reflects bitterly upon Blaine. 1t
leads to the inference that Guiteau enter
tanned designs on the life of the Secretary
OF State as well as the President. J. Will
son Guiteau, a brother Of the assassin,
gives a short history of his family in the
Boston Herald. He denies that there has
been any insanity in either his father or
his mothers family, except in the case of
his. fathers brother, who died in an asy-
lum from remorse at having killed a rival
in a duel. He has but little personal
knowledge Of his brothers life, but thinks
he was to a certain extent insane. Whether
he was insane to the extent Of not knowing
the moral character and effect Of his OWE
act, or OF losing the power to restrain his
criminal intentions if he had any desire to
do so, would undoubtedly be demonstrated
in the light of all the facts by the proper
tribunals. He resents his brothers deed
as a most atrocious, foul attempt at muir.
der, and a crime against the Nation and
the progress of Christian civilization
throughout the world. He concludes as
follows: II respectfully, and in deep hu-
initiation and sorrow request the prayers
Of all who know God in spirit and in
truth, that the Father may cause my broth
er's darkened understanding to be opened;
that the evil spirit which now possesses
him may be cast out, and that he may in
true penitence and sorrow turn while he
yet has life, to the God his father and
mother, and his ancestors, for SO MANY
generations, lived for and w~orshiped.
