The common opin- ion is that it was established as a prep- «ration for the great anniversaries of Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection, and in remembrance of his last of for ty days in the wilderness. The peri od is set apart for fasting and prayer, I and is generally observed by the Cath olics and Episcopalian churches, and from a genet al custom became a gen eral law. The council of Laodicea, (about 363) prescribed entire absti nence from food ou lloly Thursday, ami the exclusive use of “dry food” during all the fast days of Lent. The council of Orleans iu 541, commanded I that those who did nut keep Lent .should be considered as transgressing against the law oi the church; the eighth council of Toledo, in 646, forbade the use of flesh meat, w ine, oil, and animal food were prohibited on fasting days, are still in the Greek Church. Their use in the Latin Church was made one of the grounds of separation in the I time ot l’hojius. By degrees, in the west, the use of all kinds of food, ex cept flesh, eggs, cheese and wine, was allowed, and became general after the eleventh century; and thereafter even the use of these was permitted, flesh being alone excepted. As the rigor of (he last was relaxed, the hour of reflec tion was advanced from sunset to noon; and in the thirteenth century a slight cold collation was allowed iu the even ing. In the early ages also, the fast ol Lent Wiis kept with the greatest rigor by the catechumens and pulJic peni tents; by the former as a lilting prep ! aration for their solemn baptism on lloly Saturday, ami by tho latter in the hope of receiving at the same time entire absolution or a mitigation of their penance. By the laws of Theo dosius the Great, the infliction of all speciesof corporeal punishment was for bidden during Lent. In the present discipline of the Roman Catholic Church, one meal is allowed, and at this the use of Hush meat is prohibited. I refection, not ! Custom allows a slight I exceeding two ounces in the morning and a collation, not exceeding eight ounces, iu tho evening. This general rule is modified to suit necessities ot climate and occupation. In the Unit ed States, the use of flesh meat is al lowed several times a week, in accord ance with the demands made by each bishop ot his diocese. But fish and meat are never allowed during Lent at the same meal.

A n Illinois genius has invented a novel contrivance to prevent horses running away. He places a powerful electric battery under the buggy seat, with a connecting wire therefrom to the horse’s bit and another to the crup- per. If the horse wants to run away the driver turns on the electricity, which goes to the crupj>er, traverses the spinal column to the head, and in- stantiy paralyzes the horse, bringing him to a death halt. T he Two A blest .—The Sacramen to -Record- L’nicu, aud several other Radical papers, admit that Senator La mar, of Mi dsisf» ippi, recently made the ablest speech that has been presented against the remonetization of silver. In fact, the “gold men” ol the Radical party are cackling at a lively rate over their great champion of finance. An equal number of “silver men,” of the same party, are completely in ecstasy over the able speech of the old “cop perhead Democrat,” Dan. Voorhees, in favor of tho silver dollar of “our daddies.” Thus it will be seen that in spite of Radical Hings at “Democrat ic ignorance,” the old party is actually furnishing brains iu the solution of im portant problems. Radical organs are compelled to du homage tu the can dor, brilliancy and genius of Demo crats. Had Radicalism have had its with, there would have been no such men in the Senate of the United Stales as Voorhees ami Lamar, to enlighten aud captivate the minds of the people on the dry but practical problem, finance.
