LENT.

The present is termed the Lenten
and is observed by Episcopali-
ans and Catholics very strictly as q
time tor the special outpouring of the
spirit. These forty Jays preceding
Easter are held as a period Of fasting
and solemnity, in commemoration Of
the miraculous abstinence Of Jesus
when under temptation. And here we
cannot help saying, there Is something
touchingly beautiful in the theory and
belief of the Incarnation. Centuries
before the Advent the world deified
men; but who can see an end to the
beauty and significance Of the faith
that God is actually seen in the face Of
Jesus?-that the Creator has disclosed
his personal interest In men by such a
tangible pledge? Who can limit the
meaning and glory ofthe Incarnation
Emmanuel, God with us? Before there
might have been great principles; now
they become personal affections. Thus
it is meet and proper that the follow
ers of the Son should in every possible
particular initiate his earthly observ-
ances. The Saxons termed Spring
"Lengtentide," because it was the
time for the frightening Of the day,
and from that word came that other
very familiar one, Lent.
ASH WEDNESDAY.
The season began last wednesday.
Originally the period commenced on
what is now the first Sunday in Lent
but 1t being found that when Sundays,
as improper for fasting, were omitted,
there remained only thirty-siS days,
the period was made by Pope Gregory
to commence four days earlier, on Ash
Wednesday. This latter name was de-
rived from the notable ceremony OF
the day in the Romish Church. 1t
being thought proper to remind the
faithful, at the commencement Of the
great penitential season, that they were
but dust and ashes, the priests took a
quantity of ashes, blessed them, and
sprinkled them with holy water. The
worshipper then approaching in sack
cloth, the priest took up some of the
ashes on the end Of his fingers, and
made with them the mark Of the cross
on the worshipper's forehead, saying /:
"Memento, homo Qmia cinis IS, ct in
pulrerim rererteris." Which, being
translated, Is: Remember, man, that
you are of ashes, and unto dust will
RETURN" The ashes used were COM
monty made Of the palms c~onsecrated
on the Palm Sunday Of the previous
year. In England, soon after the Re-
formation, the use Of ashes was dis
continued, as "a vain show" and Ash
Wednesday thence became only a day
Of marked solemnity, with n memorial
of its original character IN reading of
the curses denounced against impeni-
tent sinners.

DOMESTIC INTELLIoEN cE

WASHINGTON, February "a. - The
Joint High Commission begins its
labors next week. All the members
on the part of Great Britain, and all
American members except ex-Attor-
uey General Hoare, are in Washington.
It seems likely, under the loose word
ing of the agreement, that the Canadian
claims for damages for the Fenian raids
will come before the Commission.
Earl Kimberly's letter to the Gov
ernor General Of Canada urges that
claims arising out Of Fcnian raids be
presented to this Government for set
Element. The letter causes n sensation
in Administration quarters, and Is the
subject of comment among the Cabinet.
Secretary Fish takes a different view.

MINING NEWS.
From tn. lnyo Independent, February 1871

From the Inyo Independent, February 1871
The Wittekind boys have about 80
feet to make In their tunnel before
reaching the ledge. The Oceola tun-
mel will probably strike the ledge some
time during this week. The Belmont
tunnel Is now running In small veins
of ore, and will soon reach the main
ledge. The Growing Glory mine pre-
sents the most flattering appearance,
With 50 tons of fine ore on the dump,
and at least 100 tons more In sight.
The tunnel has been connected with
the shaft, securing good ventilation and
easy, advantageous working.
The works Of the Owens Lake Silver
Lead Company fired up last Saturday,
and on Tuesday shipped to Los An
geles, while almost hot from the
moulds, 200 bars of bullion ; and the
furnaces will be kept in constant ope-
ration from this time forward. Mr..
Brady has now arrangements effected
whereby a supply Of ore Is insured,
and there is. certainly no reason why
the New York capitalists who have
established these works should not reap
rich harvests of wealth In return for
their investment.
Affairs In and around Columbus are
assuming a decidedly lively. and ell
couraging phase, new and valuable dis
covsries being made every day. The
average result of the ore worked ut
Col. Young's mill for the past season
will amount to 5000 per ton net. Mr..
Hanks has recently refused $50, 1000,
offered by San Francisco parties for his
mine, the Monte Diablo.
The irrepressible prospector, Jimmy
Sharp, has discovered a ledge of gold
bearing quartz in the Inyo Mountains,
nearly opposite this place, that has
every indication of being quite valua-
bic. He calls the, lode the "Indepen-
dent" We hope he may realize all
independent fortune out Of it.
Belshaw's furnace was closed down
last week for q short time, on account
of the boiler being burned through,
after q run Of thirty-seyen days. DAM
ages are being repaired, and the works
will soon be In operation again.
Mining matters In and around Hot
Springs have received a new impetus,
since the shipment and sale Of ores to
Swansea has commenced. Seven diff
ferent mines arc being worked with
good results.
During tho week ending Saturday,
February 81, there were shipped Fl ON
Cerro eighteen loads of bullion, aver
aging 10000 pounds to the team.
There are now at Belshaw's furnace
1000 bars of bullion, waiting ship
ment, while at Beaudry's there are
6,l00 bars on hand.

Gently. A distinguished o%ne-legged
gentleman named Howley visited this
burg recently, for the purpose of afford
ing our citizens the honor of presenting
him what coin they happened to have
in their possession. Mr.. Howley was
both peculiar and particular. He de-
manded aims with m air Of gracious
condescension that admirably became
his imposing appearance and fine dress,
and wouldn't take "short bits" either.
He would not ride In the stage from
San Andreas to this place because
there was a Chinese passenger. Dick
Russell brought His Highness over in
a buggy, for which he had to pay eight
dollars. While here he also took a
buggy ride to Jackson, for the double
object of profit and pleasure. Hawley
is no slouch. He puts up at the best
hotels, and goes It "high for luck"
generally. He Is the Hottest beggar
ever struck.

If the woman's party should by any
cause fail In this country, there Is at
least one spot on the globe where dis
appointed ambition and dying hopes
may be resuscitated. In Sweden to-
day the great work seems quietly,
though rapidly, going on, and already
in banking-houses, postal and tele-
graph departments, the fair sex are
numeronsly employed, and at Gotten
burg n college Of medicine has been
opened for ladies over seventeen years
of aye. With this is connected a full
course Of clinical and anatomical lee
lures, and the institution, in short,
offers a full and complete preparation
for medical life. Aud, what is signifi-
cant, the male sex do not disgrace
themselves by ungallant conduct to
their medical competitors. At this
rate. it is much to be feared lest
Sweden carry off the palm from the
United States in the race for the
looming woman"
