General Sheridan's aide express them.
selves as feeling encouraged to believe that
he had fair chance of recovery. There
was an air of cheerfulness about the men,
bers OF the household this morning that
indicated better than words that there had
been decided change for the better in the
sick soldiers condition. The first iutelli-
gence of his condition came from Col.
Blunt, who remained at the house all
night He left it about 6:30 o'clock to 90
home for breakfast; aud as he passed the
newspaper men in waiting he said that the
General had very comfortable night, and
that one of the physicians told him o few
minutes before that the General was doing
splendidly. Everything seems 10 be more
favorable now," said Col. Blunt, land
Mrs. Sheridan and all of US feel much en-
couraged. But then, you know, the dis
ease is still there. and no one can tell what
may happen"
Colonel kellogg relieved Colonel Blunt,
and after spending some little time in the
house with the physicians and members OF
the family, appeared on the front porch
about o'clock and conversed freely about
the case. "The General slept well during
the night" said he, land now appears to
be much refreshed. His sleep was natural
and restful and not caused by narcotics OF
any kind. His respiration also was easier
and more natural, and there was no Occa
sion to resort to the oxygen treatment at
all. This compressed oxygen gas has
worked wonders i'll this case, and the Gen
erals remarkable rally from his severe
sinking spell of yesterday morning Is at.
tIibuted by many of US to this agency"

while Colonel Kellogg was talking, and

means were used during the night to in
duce slumber or to assist breathing There
were the usual number OF callers during
the morning, and the attendants at the
door seemed to take special pleasure in
dlating on the Generals improvement.
One of the prettiest sights Of the morn
ing was when the Generals three girls
stopped in the midst Of their play, on the
beautiful lawn surrounding the house
and gathered some flowers to be sent tt
their afflicted father.
