The following was sent this morning to
each of the cabinet officers by the presi-
dents private secretary:
The improvement in the presidents
condition continues. He slept we'll du-
ring the night, the cool weather being
greatly in his favor. This morning his
pulse is 8S, with normal temperature
and respiration. The nourishment now

the waste, and while it is probable that
the president is daily adding little 10
his strength, still it is found that his sys-
TEN is notyet capable of resisting unu-
sual excitement, and the surgeons insist
on as perfect repose as can be secured.
Washington, July 22.-The president
continues his steady improvement. The
wound to-day disclosed moro patches of
the clothing of the president that were
carried into it by the ball and piece of
bone cut off from rib and driven into
the wound. also came ont to-day. The
surgeons feel specially gratiied at this
as it shows that the wound IS draining
out thoroughly clear to where the bullet
lies, and that everything in the nature of
q foreign or irritating substance
is being forced out. The wound
could not be healing better. The patch
es of clothes discharged from the wound
to-day were both woolen and cotton, be-
ing tibers Of the shirt and coat worn by
the president.
The president fears, but the doctors
do not, that the bullet may have injured
his spine, and may cripple him. DIR.
Bliss says he has little doubt of the To-
cation of the ball and there are some in
dications of its becoming encased. The
surgeons have decided to forbid the cab
met officers visiting the president daily.
The president gains strength but slowly
since the fever lessened, because OF
waste by the drainage of the wound.

Twas i'm the spring we met, my dear,
One showery April day;
The grass was fun of violets
And pretty buds of May.
! looked at you, you looked mt me,
The birds began to sing,
And on each bush rain jewels hung
When we met in the spring.
Twas in the fragrant summer, dear;
The roses everywhere
We're blushing with proud delight
To find themselves so fair,
When your sweet, red lips, my dear,
No longer could resist,
Aud you confessed you loved me, dear,
In summer, when we kissed.
Twas in the lovely autumn, dear;
The fields were rich in grain,
Bright berries cleaned on wayside vines,
And glowed along the lane,
And all the trees were gnyly dressed
In russet, gold and red
In autumn, when the grapes were ripe
And we, my dear, were wed.
Then blessed be spring, for it first showed
Your sunny face to me;
And blessed be summer for 1T heard
You vow my love to be;
And dOubly blessed be autumn for
The crowning of my life;
1t saw that happy day, my dear,
When You became my wife.

Thieves, ROll.CalI,

There is a custom in vogue at the
Four Courts known as "running the
gantlet," which thieves, burglars, and
people of that ilk, are very anxious to
escape. The gantlet was formed in
the drill room in the basement of the
Four Courts last evening, by opening
the ranks of the night platoon of police
so as to form two lines of about forty
each, facing inwards. Sergeant Schmidt.
gems stood at the head of this line, and
called out in stentorian tones: "Atten-
ton, men, Here goes Tom Casey,
sneak-thief, burglar and house-breaker.
Look at him!"
Casey was thereupon compelled to
walk slowly twice up and down the line,
to be inspected by all the officers, and
chiefly by the detectives, in the rear Of
the officers.
"John Kelly, sneak-thief and burg
lar, :" called the Sergeant, and Kelly was
compelled to run the gantlet.
"John Henry" sung out the Ser
geant, and big negro, said to be the
tallest man in st. Louis, came skulking
along, and he, too, ran the gantlet.
Then came two other men, George
Lewis, alias Chicken Jumper, and
Charles Jones.
Now for their pedigree as read out by
Sergeant Schmidtgens: "These three
men are sneak-thieves, burglars and
garroters. The way they play Their
game is for Henry to walk behind an
unsuspecting citizen, throw his right
arm around the citizens neck so as tC
choke him, and place his right arm or
the citizens mouth so as to keep him
from crying out. While the citizen is ir
this position Lewis holds his feet ant
Jones cones through his clothes, taking
all he has portable except his pants anC
shirt.
The particular crime for which these
men are held is the garroting of an ole
man named Ephraim Hale about ten p
m. on the 18th inst, and garroting ant
assailing Mr.. Kicks, of Wash and Sixtl
, streets, on the 9th inst, and the CARROT
ing of VIM. Rooney at the corner o
Tenth and Morgan streets, on the 17tl
inst.
Then came a well-dressed, dapper lit

goods clerk off on his vacation. He wa

HydrOphobia Prevented by Vaccination.

M. Pasteur and other French savants
have lately been devoting special atten-
ton to hydrophobia. The great ay-
thority on germs has, in fact, definitely
announced that he does not intend to
rest until ne has Inaue K1lUwn Une exact
nature and life-history of this terrible
disease, and discovered means of pre-
venting or curing it. The most curious
result vet attained in this direction,
however, has been announced by Prof.
V. Galtier, of the Lyons Veterinary
School. This inquirer has found, in the
first place, that if the virus or rabies be
injected into the veins Of sheep, the
animal does not subsequently exhibit
any symptoms of hydrophobia. This
in itself would be sufficiently curious
result to justify attention, though its i'm
portance, except as confirmatory testl-
mony, becomes less striking when it is
remembered that M. Pasteur has lately
shown that the special nidus of the dis
ease appears to be the nervous tissue,
and particularly the ganglionic centers.
But there is this further curious conse-
quence: sheep which have thus been
treated through the blood and which are
afterward inoculated in the ordinary
way through the cellular tissue, as if by
a hita arn nroof against the disease u
is as though the injection into the veins
acted as a vaccine. Twenty sheep were
experimental upon; ten only were
treated to tue venous injection, and ther
all were inocculated through the cellulal
tissue. The ten which had been firs
" vaccinated " continue alive and well
thev have not even showed any advers'
symptoms. The other ten have all diet
of rabies. 1t remains to say why M
Galtier experimental upon sheep, ant
} not upon dogs and cats, which usual.
communicate the disease. The incuba
ton of the disease is much more rapit
: and less capricious in the sheep than i
the dog or in man, and hence M
Galtier was able to get his results NOR
certainly within a short period. Havin
succeeded so far, he is justified in III
dertaking the more protracted series c
7 observations which experiments upo
the canine species will involve; an
S this he proposes to do. Experiments
a this nature are not without a seriou
: risk, and admiration is almost equal
due to the courage and the intelligenC
s of the experimentalist. But what WI
