The Easter Festival.

The people years ago made ready for
Easter by feasting, at first for torty
hours, and then for a longer time, until
the feast reached the length of forty
DAYS.
If we 60 back fifteen hundred years,
we will ind Constantinople, which is
now ruled by the Turk, the capital city
of the Chr stan world. 1t was more
beaut full city then than now. The
people were gay. and fond of the char
lot races which were given for their
amusement. The chariot drivers were
known by he co'ors they wore, and
there would be among tie people a
blue-ribbon party and a red-ribbon
party, and they would shout for their
favorite chariot drivers as if their lives
depended on the winning of the race.
On Sundays they went TO hear their
great preacher, John, called the Co.
den Mouth. and when he pleased them
with his elo luencr they clapped their
hands and shouted to the tops of their
voices.
When the long fast began. the bright
city underwent total change. The
races were suspe ded, people moved to
and fro in the markets quietly, and the
nights were still. But all of this was
very tireSome to a pa t of the popula-
ton and now and then there would be
a CHARIOT race in spite of the rules OF the

he had looked forward with so much

preparations had been completed, he was
greatly worried, which only aggravated
his complaint. Hearing of his trouble,
his afianced determined to remedy the
cause and so sent word that she was
coming on to keep her word, and, accom-
panied by her father, left for this city,
arriving here Friday morning. The ladies'

of Wisconsin, member Of the Foreign
Affairs Committee, to-day introduced in
the House a bill to prevent and punish
prosecution under the protection of the
United States of fraudulent claims against
foreign governments. The bill provides a
penalty Of fine and Imprisonment SINH
lar to that provided for by the revised
statutes for making or presenting fraudu-
lent claims against the United States. 1t
also authorises the President. in
case it shall appear to him that
a claim which has been allowed is
based on fraud, to withhold the payment
of the proceeds and to return the same to
the government from whom it has been
collected, unless the claimant shall either
remove the suspicion Of fraud or consent
to retrial of the claim. The bill is in
tended to avoid difficulties which have
arisen through claims against Venezuela,
Mexico, and similar cases, and to prevent
future speculation in international claims
which are not covered by existing stat
