From st. Nicholas
OF course, since there are no hunters to
kill them, wild animals are very plentiful
it is not uncommon to see jaguars and deer
even from the deck Of the steamer. But
most of all alligators about. When the
waters are highest, they roam over the
flooded land, seeking the small animals,
water birds and fish on which they live; at
that time they are not 80 common along the
river channels. and only now and the u may
one be seen in the shadows, with but the
top of his ugly head above the surface of the
water.
In the dry season. as the waters recedo,
they gather In the river in such amazing
numbers that / can compare them only to
tadpoles in a pond, / have counted over
sixty on small sand bank, literally piled
ore over the other, while all around tine
water was full of them. They lie thus for
hours basking in the sun, and quite still
but if a steamer approaches the mass begins
to move, there is a great rafting of scales
as they hustle each other TO reeeh the water,
and in a moment only five or six are left ,
who raise their heads and stare at the ves-
sci until it has passed them. These more
courageous fellows are generally the larger
ones, and offer tempting shots. / am no
Sportsman, but my brother-in-law. who was
travelling with me, killed many from the
steamers deck, using only course shot.
1t is not so easy to kill those that are seen
on the surface Of the water; shot, and even
a bullet, will glance off from the hard skull
unless the eye be hit. The top Of the eye
socket is never more than two or three
inches above the surface, and as they are
usually at rather long range, even skill
full marksman may be pardoned for miss.
Though so numerous the alligators are
not regarded as dangerous. 1 have often
seen the young negroes and Indian boys
swimming within few yards of them, and
the reptiles paid little attention 10 their
play. Cattle, too, wade about the flooded
grass lands in search OF pasturage, and are
rarely molested by alligators. 10 fact un-
less driven to bay or ravenous with hunger,
they dare not attack man or the larger ami
mails but they are always on the watch for
smaller prey.

is of Course Far From. Well.
WASHINGTON, March THE condition OF
Congressman Springer was improved this
morning, and hope was once more revived
in the bosom Of his friends His three
physicians held a long consultation at II
O'Clock this morning. aud at its conclusion
DIR. John A. Vincent OF Illinois made the
following statement: "Mr, Springer passed
q favorable night and his condition is very
much improved this morning. His pulse aud
temperature are reduced. and he manifests
much less delirium than yesterday. His
mind appears to be clearing up and the
periods OF coma are less frequent. He
takes nourishment well to-day; and
another very good indication of his inn
provement is that he Is more sensitive to
external impressions and sounds than ha
has been since his illness assumed a serious
stage. He is sensitive to the noise Of the
street cars and TO the rolling Of the carriages
OF the callers as they come up to his door.
Up to this time he has. during his whole
illness, beon oblivious to these things. This
shows that he is returning gradually TO his
normal condition.
GOOD SIGN.
"While this great sensitiveness is abnor4
NAL to degree, yet It is more akin to a
normal stage than constant delirium and
coma. When he begins to hear and realize
sounds and TO want quiet that is an iudlca-
tion OF improvement. The erysipelas to-
day has nearly stopped spreading and there
are indications in some places that il is be-
ginning TO disappear. On the right side OF
his face, where il first began, it Is,
now less aud the fact that at ths
point where the first outbreak occurred
there Is now less swelling is an indication
that the strength of the disease is broken.
While there Is tendency of the swelling to

is yet virulent. The fact that its progress
is checked is splendid indication. His
