EXECUTIVE MANSION,
August 25, 1881.

Since the issue of this morning’s bulletin a rise in the President’s temperature, similar to that which occurred yesterday morning, has been observed. His pulse is somewhat more frequent. From the incision in the parotid swelling a few drops of pus were discharged this morning; the size of the swelling has not diminished. In other respects his condition has not perceptibly changed. Pulse, 112; temperature, 99.2°; respiration, 19.
