the arehbishops and bishops of the United
States
My attention has been called TO the sug-
gestion that it would be eminently fitting to
celebrate with solemn religious obseryances
the 18th day of October next, commemora-
tive of the discovery OF America. The
most reverend archbishop Of New York
and other preates with distinguished
laymen have made the request that
the archbishops and bishops be addressed
with view to the taking Of some concerted
action in the matter. 50 that on the day men,
toned in all the dioceses special religious ser
vices be held. 1t has also been thought that
these might be supplemented, wherever prao-
ticable, by some civil celebration IL the eve
ming.

submitting the subject to your grace's con-
sideration united action on the part OF
the hierarchy would enhance the glory OF the
celebration and invest the day with particular

constituted themselves leaders and made vio-
lent speeches. calling upon the crowd TO help

not furnish them with the means OF getting

MIR. SPRINGER BETTER.
The Patient Himself Says That He Has Got
n New Hold.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-There is unQues-
tionably an improvement in the condition OF
Congressman Springer this morning. The
erysipelas which has been affecting the brain
IS rapidly subsiding. and the doctors
express the belief that all danger
OF death as direct result OF
erysipela5 is passed. The oaly menace to
the patients life now lies in great prostra-
tion and loss of yigor which has resulted
from rayages Of the malady. An affection.
styled by physicians nervous cough, still
continues to be the most dangerous symptom.

the entire frame which only resembles
cough in that 1t has its apparent origin IN the
lungs and chest. There does not seem to be
any obstruction in the air passages, and moth

Physicians say that this cough as they
term it in the absence of better name has
its origin in the brain, and IN the harassed
condition of certain nerves which cOmmuni-
cate with and control the lungs. and, indeed
the entire system. in their periodical parox-

foreseen reason or accident should cause re-
lapse. Inc purple swelling in the face and
