CONTINUED PROGRESS.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON,
Aug, 2, p.m.-The President has con-
tinued to progress favorably during the
day and appears better in his general
condition than yesterday. A more natu-
raj tone of voice is very perceptible. The
appearance of the external wound at the
evening dressing was exceedingly good.
That made by the ball is rapidly granu-
latinx, while the discharge from the
deeper portion of the wound, which is
abundant and healthy, comes through the
counter opening made by the operation.
The rise of temperature this afternoon is
moderate and attended by no inconve-
nience to him. At present his pulse is
1O4, temperature 100, respiration 20.

to-day received numerous letters of con-
graduation, together with draft for
.f1OO, as a contribution to the fund for
her benefit.
GOOD FEATURE.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-The President
continues to make favorable progress
toward recovery One good feature in
his case is an increased appetite. He now
partakes more freely of solid food, and
his bill of fare has been extended to en-
brace several things heretofore forbidden.
1t includes coffee, of which he drank half
a cup yesterday. The surgeons continue
to give him kumyss occasionally, in
place of an equal quantity of
milk, and although this mild
tartar stimulant has little to recommend
it to the average taste, he expresses de-
cided fondness for it, and drinks it ca.
gerly.
THE WOUND.
The morning examination to- day show
ed very healthy discharge from the
wound. The nature of the discharge
showed that suppuration is going ON
along the remote track of the wound as
well as in the portion where the ball en-
tered. This morning he had for breakfast
some beefsteak and toast, saturated in
milk. His pulse this morning was better
than at any time of his illness.
