FIFTY-SECOND CONGRESS. What Was Done by Senators 'and Repre- sentatives at Yesterday’s Session. WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.—Mr. Pettigrew introduced in the Senate a bill instruct- ing the Secretary of the Treasury not to deliver any of the souvenir coins provided' for in the bill passed at the last session until the World’s Columbian Exposition shall deliver a good and sufficient bond, conditioned that if for any reason what- ever the World’s Fair is opened to the public on Sunday the corporation shall pay to the United States the sum of money it shall have received from the sale of the coin, not less than $2,500,000. Mr. Wolcott (Rep., 001.) gave notice of an amendment to the bill to discontinue the purchase of silver bullion. Mr. Teller (Rep., 001.) introduced a new bill to submit the McGarrahan claim to the Court Of Private Land Claims, and had it referred to the Judiciary Commit- tee. This bill modifies the provisions to which the President objected in the vetoed bill. Mr. Peffer (Pop., Kan.) resumed and concluded his speech, begun last Monday, in favor of his constitutional amendment to limit the Presidential office to one term. ' At the conclusion of Mr. Peffer’s speech Mr. Walcott introduced a joint resolution directing the Postmaster- General to dis- continue the sale of the so-called CO- lumbian postage stamps, except where specifically called for. The rest of the day was occupied in de-‘ hate on the Anti-Option bill. The greater part of the day in the House was consumed in filibustering. Mr. Kilgore of Texas, by his dilatory tactics, defeated action on the bill ap- propriating $100,000 for the erection of a monument to the prison-ship martyrs in Brooklyn, and on the measure for the construction of two revenue cutters for the Pacific coast. An attempt was made, but failed, to pass the New York and New Jersey Bridge bill. ' The National Quarantine bill was the next in order, but its opponents succeed- ed in' staving It Off until Saturday. ABOUT THE WEATHER. Summary of the Conditions in’ Various Parts of' the Country.

PITTSBURG, Jan, 20.—-'l‘he defence in the Homestead poisoning case was closed yesterday, and today the case will go to the jury. Yesterday the defense pro- duced several witnesses who testified that the reputation of Gallagher, the principal witness for the prosecution, was bad. The defense Offered in evidence the re- ceipt given by Gallagher to Dempsey for the $25 which the former claimed had been given to him in payment for placing poison in the food of the non-union workmen. The receipt read as follows: “Received of Hugh F. Dempsey $25, which I will pay 60 days after date.” “ The Ghost of Leap Year.” In France there is a peculiar tcadition among the peasantry, especially those of . the Seine country and of La Chatre. con- ' cerning a demon called “ The Ghost of It is said that every leap year this peculiar sort _ of evil demon makes his dread appearance. The crea- ture’s sole pleasure is to be displeased with everything and everybody. His shape is not distinguishable in member, jOInt or limb, but, taken altogether, his hideous and uncanny actions make, him a much-dreaded monster. Writers have ,told the story over and over again, and "painters have attempted to sketch his grotesque form on canvas. One of the best known of “ The Demon of esp Year ” is by Maurice Sand, and is escribed as follows: It is evening; the sun has just set to the west of a Waste country covered with marshy bogs and fens full of stagnant water. The clouds are blood-stained by the last rays of the departed day star, and the dark red color is reflected back from the sleeping pools. Out of the depths of one of the darkest of these dark and murky receptacles a marvelous monster has arisen, and is lazily leaning against an old waterworn pile. Before his awful gaze the frightened fishermen fly in un- seemly haste, tumbling and falling over each other in their mad desire to get beyond the pale of the blighting demon’s eyes. It is an awful sight, even though it is but a shadowy, indistinct form traced on canvas, Ibut still he is the “ Ghost of Leap Year" nevertheless.— St. Louis Republic. DI ED. C‘IP.*AO Amagsusett.

A Scaly, Itching, Skin Disease with Endless Sllfering Cured by 'Cuticura Remedies. If I had known of the 01mm Rsnrmrs twenty-fight yearsmgo, it would have saved me $000.00 and an Immense amount of suffering. My disease ( sonasIs) commenced on my head in a spot 30" m'ger than a cent. It spread rapidly all over my body', and got under my nails. The scales would drop of! of me all the time, and my sufiering was endless, and without relief. One then- ~ sand dollars would not tempt , me to have this disease over again. I am a poor man, but feel rich to be relieved of what some of the doctors said was leprosy, some ringworm, pso- riasis, etc. I cannot praise the CUTICURA Rannnms too much. They have made my e from scales as a baby’s. All I used of them was $5 worth. If you had been he: e and said you would have cured me for $200.00, you would have had the money. I looked like the picture (No. 2, page 47) in your book, "How to Cure Skin Diseases,” but now I am as clear as any person ever was. Through force of habit I rub my hands over my arms and legs to scratch once in a while, but to no purpose. I am all well. I scratched twenty-eight years, and it got to be a kind of second nature to me. I thank you a thou sand times. DENNIS DOWNING, Waterbury, Vt.
