Daging, given by Mr. and ohn Quincy Adams, in New York City, on . Darling’s birthday, to congratulate her son Mi the profession of his choice. His opera, “The Twelve Jolly Bachelors,” is accepted by Stevens of New York, and is to be produced at the Windsor Theater. in Boston, October 3ist, and promises to be a success, judging from the ver- dict of the musical critics who have heard the opera and passed judgment upon its merit. Mrs. Darling will accompany her son to enjoy his first laurels, and is evidently much pleased his opera is to be rendered in Boston first instead of New York, as previously arranged.

He slept a little dur- ing the afternoon and there was no fever. All the physicians, including Dr. Hamilton, continue to express themselves in the most hopefulterms, At 3 o'clock this afternoon the President was do- ing very nicely. Therehad been no unfavorable change and nothing to indicate but a very satis- factory condition of the President.

You see, the reporters do not intend to misrep- resent us, but they do not always catch the idea we mean to convey.” DRS. HAMILTON AND AGNEW. Dr. Hamilton will remain here till he is re- lieved by Dr. Agnew to-morrow. The two sur- geons will meet here and have a consultation before Dr. Hamilton leaves for New York. MISSOURIANS GOING TO GIVE THANKS. Aproclamation issued to the people of south- west Missouri, calling for a grand thanksgiving to-morrow, over the President’s good prospects of recovery, was received at the White House to- day.

Sheldon, wife of the recently appointed governor of New Mexico, still remains at the White House as a guest of Mrs. Garfield. The wives of the Cabinet Officers are constant visitors. The boys have spent their time during the past three weeks pursuing their studies uninterruptedly except upon their usual holi- days—Saturday and Sunday. Their recitations are heard daily from 12 to 2 o'clock, by Dr. W. H. Hawes, who has been their tutor since the middle of uary last. James and Harry will be ready for college in September next. They are | very intelligent and studious.

HIS REMOVAL BACK TO THE SOUTIIWEST ROOM. About 5 o'clock last evening the President was moved back into his old quarters, the room in the meantime having been thoroughly venti- lated and cleaned. The removal caused no dis- turbance. The condition of the patiént was good during the earlier part of the night. There was a moderate rise of fever in the afternoon, but it was not regarded in any serious way by the doctors. had had i Shortly after 7 o'clock the fever began to subside and the tem- perature and pulse went down. It is sw that the cause of the fever was the clogging the drainage tube in the wound. The tube was cleaned out and the flow of pus continued.

Its position is given in the epheme already computed for it, as right asce: 50m; declination north, 25 deg. 48 min. it will bring it up just a little north of the, Pleiades,” said Prof. Hall, who kindly furnished Tue Star reporter with the figur Will it become vi8ible to the naked eye?” in- quired the reporter. “It does become visible sometimes. TI should | not wonder ifalong about the middle of October you will be able to see it.” This little comet will travel north quite fast. reaching its most northerly point—42 deg: mins. on the 26th of September. Its_perili ge will be about November 15th, and it will be nearest the earth about October lth. | It is now 174,900,000 miles from the sun, and 167,000,000 trom the earth. At its perihelion it will be about 32,000,000 miles from thesun. Comet C is becoming brighter every morning, and the astronomers think it woula be visible to the naked eye now if it were not so near the horizon. The old comet (B) is fast traveling soutii. It is still an interesting object in the evening sky. No special observations will be made of Encke’s comet for several days. It is regarded with great interest by astronomers on account of its gradually shortening periods, which is consid- ered as proof of Encke’s theory that there is a resisting medium in space. Its period is about 33g years. 5& —>__ The Murderers of Collecter Brayton. DIFFICULTIES IN THE WAY OR ARRESTING HIM.
