labored and heavy, and his lungs are
gradually getting more and more

also been noticed on his legs, and this
indicates that the circulation OF his blood
is growing more feeble. The General rc-

suffers no pain except that arising from

change in Sheridan's condition, but he
appears quite weak when awake.
