had been suffering, but with a few excep-

fishing trips, there being nothing else to do
than to dress the wound, which seemed ai-
ter few DAYS, to be healing in a most salts
factory manner. It became necessary, how
ever for ihe President to return to Washing
tor, and that journey and the necessity Of
living in Washington, during the heated
spell gave Mr.. Clevelaud's physician very
great anxiety. Il was, Of course. noticed
that DR.. Bryant was constantly at Gray Ga

Journey to Washington, aud was with him
much of the time there.
The doctors practiced eye saw that there
was dangeT-perhaps not of recurrence OF
the disease, but Of a setback IL the process
of healing-if the President remained in
Washington, and his imperative command
was that it was a higher duty for Mr.. Cleve--
land. both TO the country and to himself and
family to return immediately TO Buzzard's
BAY, the tonic air of which admirably agreed
with him and served the more rapidly to
overcome the effects of the operation.

and unexplained departure Of Mr.. Cleveland

WHAT IS THE DISEASE
The physicians, who have been talking
among them selves about this sorrow are
not yet decided what it was which. lurking
in the Presidents blood, caused disease of
tissue and bone which had eaten up through
the roof Of the mouth to the orbital plate.
The quick recovery from the operation gives
as each day passes, increased hope that II
is not that dread and mysterious enemy
which physicians scarcely dare to name.
There haye been some fears that It was;
there is even now anxiety, which is daily
growing less and less, lest it may recur and
require the knife and heroism again.
But there is more encouragement this
week than there were last, far more than
was the case when the President, being
warned. departed from Washington TO the
seashore again. Dr. Bryant, who has been
faithfully at Mr. Clevelands side ever since
he returned to Gray Gables, will probably
not leave him excepting for brief intervals
until his hopes are established aud the couu-
try IS assured that it has escaped great sor-
row, Of whose nearuess it did not know when
The crisis was very great
Nothing could be more DEVOTED than the
attention, sympathy, friendship and en-
