The Illinois) ConitreHHiiiRii Ih Bet ter Today and There Are fow Borne StrotiK Hopes of him He. coverv. Washington, Mnrch 4. There is un questionably improveme nt in the condi tion of Congressman Springerthis morn ing. The eryesijielas which has been affecting the brain is rapidly subsiding and the doctors express the belief that all danger of death ai the direct reull of eryesipelai is passed. The only menace to the patient's life now lies in great prostration and lass of vigor which has resulted from the ravages of the malady. An affection styled by the physicians "a nervous cough" still continues to be the most dangerous symptom. The term "nervous cough," by no means expresses this affection to unpro fessional men. It is a spasmodic convul sion of the entire frame, which only re sembles a cough in that it has its appar ent origin in the lungs and chest. There does not seem to be any obstruction in the air passages and nothing is expelled by this series of spasmodic gasps and strains. The physicians say that this cough, as they term it in the absence ol a better name, has its origin in the brain and in the narrassed condition of cer taiu nerves which communicate with and control the lungs and indeed the en tire system. The physicians this morning authorized the statement that their patient is better and that the crisis is rapidly passing II no change for the worse takes place during the day they believe that he will recover unless something unforeseen should cause a relapse. The purple swelling in the face and head has so lar subsided that in another day Mr. Springer's feat ares will almost have us sumeil tin ir normal nppeurance. Mr. Springer is also more restful, and at intervals is able to get a few minutes of apparently peaceful slumber. These symptoms augur well but the most fa vorable thing ol all is that t lie patient has ouee more taken hope and is now battering vigorously lor life. Yesterday he hud (piite given up, and expressed the opinion in confidence to his wile anil family that death must ensue, but this morning he frequently announced his conviction that he had "got a new hold' as he expressed it, and that the battle is not lost yet. THE NEW OKI.KAXS CAiiK A Bill to (ilve the Federal tJovern iiient More Power.

From 1871 to 1SK6 he was president ol that college, nml it was tiring his incumbency ot this office that he noble college buildings which are the special pride of Connecticut, were erected.

Editor I'urman, of the liemoerat, is nlinarily "up to snuff," and hard to be aught napping. He is lond of evcrv hing, eatable or drinkable, and if there is anything he prides himselt on more han another, it is his sound judgment 1 the matter of game meats. In fact, he claims to be nearer inlallibihty on his point than oil quest ions ol polities. id everybody knows where to go when ilitical pointers are wautid. Hut Col. I'urnian is unhappy now, anil some ol his neighbors assert that he las suddenly contracted the habit of staying much by himself, and when night nines on he breaks into melody alter his fashion: "Too-hoo! too-hoo!'

A lew days ago there was a linghter smile than usual on the lace ol the editor I" the Democrat, and iniiuirv developed the tact that the long expected had ar rived. A plump, brown plumed pheasaut with its speekleo breast, had been sent in by freeman, and great d'ops of expecta tion were hanging lrom the Colonel's outh. There was one singular feature about the appearance ol the bird, and that was that its head and feel had been cut off, but I'urnian did not specially fancy those choice parts, and was none the less happv. I he bird was skilllully cleaned and roasted to a delicious brown, rivaling in color the plumage ol the stately hud as it stepped maiestically among the peaks ol old llalsam. It was placed on t lie tame tile ...vi carver was oiougut out. v-01. ruruiuii is somewhat ol a carver, too. With the flourish ol an expert he brought the keen blade ol steel in contact with the bird but to the amazement of the ojierator, it made no impression. Again and auuin the lest was made, but the pheasaut was impervious. An able bodied hatchet was broiiL'ht int requisition, aid a lew niouihfuls were hewn from the pulseless breast ol the decased bud, and the Colo nel undertook to masticate a piece. His teeth bore testimony to the worth of the carver, by utterly failing to make an impression. The Colonel could not understand it Treachery on the part ol his liiend never occurred to his guileless nature. A day or two later, w hile conversing with mutual friend, the fact come out tha I'urman had been trying to eat one o; those mammoth owls so numerous Western North Carolina, more noted to eating than being eaten.
