Mr.. Logan said the statement that
there were two hundred thousand
claims that had not been examined,
was misrepresentation, as eighty thou
sand OF that number had been examin-
ed and rejected.
Finally Mr.. Plumb's amendment was
agreed to by 80 to 81. The committee
rose and reported the bill, when the
amendments with two exceptions, upon
which separate votes were asked, were
agreed to. The first provision on which
a separate vote was taken, was the one
directing the payment OF accrued Indian
pensions in installments, which had
been retained in the bill.
On motion of Mr.. ingalls, the provi.
sion was stricken out.
The remaining provision to be voted
upon was Mr.. Plumb's amendment APP
proprialing S2O0,0C0 for fifty examiners,
providing for clerks, &c. The discus
sion upon this proposition in committee
vas then resumed and continued with
out result, the bill being finally laid
aside informally.

SUMMARY OF TUESDAYS TROUBLES
A WICKED FEMALE GHOST.

She is Believed TO be One CT the Satanic
Host-How the Young Men are Made
to Suffer.
GREENFIELD, o., February Screen.
field has a real ghost. There cannot be
the least doubt about it, for local min
lister, while conducting revival meet
ing the other day, told his hearers that
the ghost WAS a supernatural visitor
sent to warn the people OF the near ap-
proach OF the end OF the world. AS the
same minister also processes his belief
in the alleged words OF the prophecies
Shipton, his intelligence and judgment
cannot be called in question, and we
must join the Greenfelders in believ-
ing in the genuineness OF their ghost.
In the opinion OF the women of Green
Geld, the ghost is by far the worst that
has ever made its appearance. There
have been, according to ghost-seers, all
sorts of undesirable ghosts. Such were
lIe glOSlS llldl llIC" lulHBo at luuO-
cent people and smashed crOckery; the
ghosts that came and stood by peoples
beds in the dead of night without hav-
ing the decency to knock at the door or
to say what they wanted; and the ghosts
that ratified chains and thumped on the
floor overhead merely in order to make
themselves disagreeable. The Greenfield
ghost is, in local feminine estimation,
more wicked than any OF her predecessors
for she is female ghost. 1t is
her loathsome habit to waylay young
men in the midnight streets to kiss them
and.t to vanish. Often she throws
herself upon young men who are on
their way to visit young ladies', and so
territies them that they flee to their
homes or boarding houses, leaving the
unhappy young ladies to watch the
front door-bell in vain expectation. Con-
duct such as tins is to the last degree
revolving to every well brought up young
woman and we can understand why the
Greenfield ghost is firmly believed by
one.haf OF Greenfield to belong to the
satanic host.

Ireland with spirit OF hope and deter

made imperishable by the greater Ire
