Tomorrow will be the first day of Lent,
II is called Ash Wednesday from the GER
emory Of blessing ashes upon that day
and putting them on the foreheads Of the
faithful, to remind them that they must
very quickly return to dust. The prayers
which are used by the Catholic Church,
for the blessing Ct Ct he ashes, are directed
for the obtaining of God the spirit of COM
Function, and the remission Of sin, for all
those who receive the ashes; and the priest
in making the sign of the cross with the
ashes upon the forehead Of each of the
faithful, says these words Remember,
man, that thou art dust, and unto dust
thou shalt return" We know of no be-
ginning Of the observance of Lent; it has
been observed by the Catholic Church
from the time of the Apostles, and stand
upon the same foundation as the observ-
ance of the Lords Day-that il, upon
Apostolic tradition. This fast Of forty
days, or the 1.-THE of the year, is especially
devoted to the service of God, as it was
commanded in the Law to give God q
1.-THE of all We possess. The Rules Of
Lent, to be observed by Catholics of this
diocese, are as follows:
By special dispensation, meat is allowed
once a day on all Mondays, Tuesdays,
Thursdays and Saturdays, during Lent,
except on Saturday, the Goth inst, and on
Holy Saturday, the 9th of March, and on
Holy Thursday, the 25th of March. Meth.
er fast nor abstinence is TO be observed on
the Sundays of Lent.
la addition to the usual services every
morning, there will be a sermon and bene-
1iction each "Wednesday evening, COM
mencing at halfpast o'clock the Sts-
tious of the Cross and benediction on each
Friday evening, commencing at halfpast
o'clock, and sermon and henedictiOn
on each Sunday night, commencing at the
same hour.
All Catholics Of mature age are expected
TO observe these rules, except those who,
through weakness, infrmity, or other him
drance, cannot fast without prejudice or
danger 10 their bodily health.

FROM h, A. COLLINS. ESQ ,
of Milan. Tenn.

Messs. Pigne, Manier C Hall, Nashville,
Tenn:
GENTLEMEN: Dr.. LIGHTHILL expects to
visit your city soon, and for the benefit Of
the suffering wish to say, through you,
to your very extensive acquaintance in
this and other Southern States that DIR.
Lighthill can do all for the suffering that
can be afforded by skill, science and a
comprehensive experience.
Indeed, DIR. Lighthill performs some
almost miraculous cures. One case for in
stance. placed under his treatment, over
two years since, my niece, Miss Eliza
Mitchum, of McLemoresyiIle, Tenn. She
had been suffering from a child with q
rising in the head, which had for years
emitted through the ear a very ugly and
offensive corruption. Her case had been
treated by the best physicians of the coun-
try and had baffled the skill Of all. DIR.
Lighthill kept her under bis immediate
charge for ten days and then sent her home
with remedies. She used the remedies as
directed and in three months was entirely
well and still continues in excellent health
1t may be proper to state that when Miss
Mitchum went under DIR. LighthilPs treat
ment she was unable to walk and, as her
friends thought, was rapidly approaching
death.
If you have any friends among your ex-
tensive acquaintance suffering with any
chronic disease you may safely recommend
them to DR.. Lighthill.
Yours, very respectfully,
E. A. COLLINS.

The chimney sweep Law.

One of the biggest humbugs Of the day is
the chimney-sweeping law that was recently
passed through the City Council. A su-
perintendent is appointed by the Mayor,
whose duty it is to keep the run of the diff
ferent foul Aues in the city, and to clean
the same, charging twenty-five cents for so
doing, and upon the refusal of the owners
or occupants of houses 10 allow the Chin
ney-sweep TO perform his mission, the
party so refusing TO be subjected to a fine.
There are large number of property
owners who prefer TO superintent that sort
OF business because that they think they
understand the work better than the indi.
vidual who has been imported for thai
purpose. One of cur wholesale grocery
men bad 10 submit 10 the humbug The
other day, and because of the wretched man
ner in which the job was performed, all thu
clerks employed we're cOmpelledtoleave thu
counting-room, and the books of the estab
lishment we're nearly rendered unfit for use
| a general securing out, as matter OF ne
cessity followed, and urgent business wa
| delayed for several hours.
The law was pushed through to Civ
employment TO Iavorites of those who rul
the corporation machine, and intended 70
their benefit. When one Of the party
out of situation, it is an easy matter I
provide something for his wants. He ma
arrive from Maine on Monday, and befOr
Saturday night plan is on foot for hi
relief, without regard to the citizen VIII
has TO pay the bill.

Bear TraInIng.

1t is said that member of the Tennes-
see House Of Representatives, who used TO
teach grammar school in the mountain
country, and was lately refused permission
to raise regiment Of military scouts, has
been employed to take charge of a wild
bear on Cherry street, and put him in
training for coming fight with pair Ct
the most ferocious dogs in the city. Bar
more's Ku-KluG suit has been procured
for the distinguished member 10 wear
while engaged in the work of getting the
wild beast tn proper fighting trim. This
feature, it is thought, will make the bear
yield quietly TO the necessary discipline.
1t is further considered certain that the
members of the Legislature, and especially
the valiant BowleE, will be on hand TO see
the desperate struggle

The Fair Grounds,

The Board Of Directors of the Agricul-

termined to make the necessary improve,
ments on the Fair Grounds as early as pos,

Nashville should not become her rival 10
