EMDER WEEK.-Yesterday. (Weines-
day,) Friday and Saturday, Of this week,
are Ember Days. One of the two pray
ers "for those who are to be admitted
into holy orders" is to be used daily
during the week. This is the last series
OF periodical fats, known as Ember
Days. They we're instituted by Pope
Cali4tus in the third century, but more
forcibly inaugurated by the Council OF
Placentia, in 1895. The word ''Ember"
is said by some to signify the dust and
ashes poured on the heads of fasting aud
penitent persons; and by others to ap-
ply to the bread eaten at that season
which WAS baked on the embers of the
frseonly.
ARREST OF DIR. E. T. MORE
N1dHT WoRK. DIR. e. T. Avery, who
was charged with bein5 leader of the
Ku R'u1 in this State. and made his
escape two years ago, was arrested, yes
terday morning, between 2 and o'clock,
at his residence in Ebenezcr. twelve
miles from Yorkville. by Capt. Hubbard
and a detachment of United States
Cavalry. on bench warrant from the
United States Court, now holding its
sessions in Charleston. It appears that
DR.. Avery returned to his homo, early
in May last, (onder the protection of un
order from United States Attorney
General Williams,) where be has since
been peacefully residing. It seemed
unnecessarily cruel to break in upon a
quiet family at that hour OF the night,
and carry off the head, on an unknown
charge. During DR.. Avery's absence
from his home, allidaYits were made BIZ
convicted Ku Klux-one of them on hi !.
th-bed-that the Doctor had nothing
to do with any of the raids. Dr.. a.
says he has been treated very courte.
ously by Capt. Hubbard. We earnestly
hope that the prosecuted man will soon
be enabled to return to his distressed
family.
