Greeley. wm-shamsful disclosures:

The more light that II let ii hp6h
the contest Of Mr.. Greeley's will, the
worse appear the motives and the
more shameful the conduct Of the ex-
ecutors. Miss Greeley's proposed COM
promise. which conceded all that the
executors asked. and presented an alb
solute withdrawal Of tho claims Of the
heirs under the former will. and her
subsequent refusal to continue the liti-
CATION when her proposal was refused,
place the orphan girls In a position
both honorable and pathetic; while
every succeeding revelation concern
Ing the other side, makes Its conduct
more dctestable. Concerning the pur-
pose Of these strange friends of Mr..
Greeley, the executors, who offered
his daughters the alternative of seeing
their Inheritance devoured by litiga-
ton or Of submitting quietly to Its
sliclng up among others, the New
York Herald mentions certain clrcum-
stances which, IL correct In statement,
arc simply Infamous. The Herald
states that the President Of the Chill
dren's Aid Society, who had Inform
ally waived all claim to q bequest, re-
tracted his withdrawal and pushed his
demand stoutly when he happened to
hear, incorrectly, that Miss Greeley
was q Catholic. The Herald states,
further, that one Of the executors Is
Indebted to the estate some $1,000, and
calls attention to the fact that the fee
Of the counsel for the executors, 81
900, Just balances a claim upon TINT
lawyer for money loaned by Mr.. Gree
ley. These allegations are made with
all the authority Of the Herald, and, II
believed, must convince the public Of
an almost Incredible, cruel %selflshness
in the treatment of the orphans Of the
great man whose statue Is to cost
$40, 600.

skiHful Surgical Operation.

A skillful surgical operation, says
the Phoebe Record of February Goth,
was yesterday performed at the County
Hospital by DR.. Deal, assisted by DR..
Phiison. Everett Felt had been
afflicted from boyhood with diseased
bone of the left leg. the center Of the
affection being about three inches be.
low the knee-joint. An abscess had
formed. and a fungus growth as large
as an ordinary hand was exposed when
the operation was performed. The
patient was put under the influence OF
chloroform, when about three minutes
were occupied In the operation. The
tibia was found to be dead and covered
with abnormal eXcrescence for six
inches extending from the knee down.
wards. The excrescence and dead
matter were all removed as far as
possible to be traced from the character.
Of the operation. IL Is an extreme case
of the kind, and this was a resort to
save the leg of the unfortunate man, II
possible but the surgeons are not yet
positive that a%mputation can DO avoid
ed. The operation was a perfect sue:
cess. Mr.. Felt Is a man 50 years Of
age, of fair constitutional vigor, and
there Ia reasonable hope, we think,
that the fearful aflictlon which has
so long made life a burden to him will
trouble him no more after he again
gets on his feet. {.

In Operation.
The Phoebe Record Of February 28t

The Phoebe Record Of February 18th,
says:
Day before yesterday heat was ap.
piled to the cupola Of the railroad
foundry at Bu~llionville, for the first
time-though the other machinery had
been running on work for the Ray.
mond & Ely Mining Company several
days. The first castings were princl-
pally 4O0.pound couplings and BOO
pound boxes for that company. Con.
sidering that 1t was the first heat with
molding. floor and everything else
new. it was a complete success. The
cupola is 80 inches In diameter and -
feet high, Its capacity being from $500
To 5000 pounds. Connected with the
establishment are an engine-lathe,
boring mill, drill press, and a full
plant Of tools. The next heat shoes
and dies will be cast for quartz mills,
and considerable railroad work done.
Those having the supervision OF the
work are confident that castings OF the

pattern maker, and Nicholas Remfry,
maChinist.

LENT.

Our Catholic fellow citizens are in
tent at the present time in the ooserv-
ances of tho annual Lenten season OF
the Roman, Greek and Anglican
churches, which commenced last
Wednesday, known in the calendar rs
Ash Wednesday. Lent Is an ancient
institution, some authorities dating as
far back as the Apostles, while others
have It that the forty days Of Lent
grew out Of the forty hours In which
the body OF the Saviour Of mankind
lay In the tomb, which hours were OBJ
served BY the immediate followers Of
Jesus as an annual season Of humilia-
ton. fasting and prayer. These forty
hours subsequently swelled into forty
days, contemporaneously with the
forty days retirement OF Moses and Of
Elijah, as we'll as Of the forty days
temptation Of our Saviour himself.
The name Lent comes to Us through
the old Saxon lengten tide, which orig
iualiy signified the lengthsning OF the
day. and was commonly used in tho
sense In which We use the word Spring.
The fast Of forty days which annually
occurred at this season gradually mo-
nopolized the name. At first the sea-
SON began OH the first Sunday in Lent
but Pope Gregory ordained that the
fast should begin on the Wednesday
preceding-a day which Is now known
all the world over IS Ash Wednesday.
Dating from that day, some six or
seven millions of the inhabitants OF the
United States will, by a system Of alb
stinence and by a course Of conduct
characterized by humiliation and
prayer. testify to the power Of Christ
ian teaching and Christian authority.
1t Is not to be denied that many menu
bers Of the Catholic Church will on
this, as on former occasions, take
liberties which the Church does
not sanction, however their own
con~,ciences may approve or condemn.
1t Is as little to be denied. however,
that among them aud the Protestant
Episcopians alone will be seen, during
the time .honorcd, II not divinely APP
pointed season Of fasting. anything
which calls up the memory Of the
sainted examples Of the past-any-
thing which proves that religion Is a
loving, constraining, governing power
In the midst of Us. As we have said
already. fasts and festivals In connec-
ton with religion are Of great anti
putty. In themselves, whatever their
origin. they cannot be said to be other
than commendable.

VICTOR FILTERS CONQUEST OF.
a FARM
How to Begin.
BY PROF. J. D. BUTLER.

LINCOLN, Nebraska, 1873.
st Plat, if we believe the legend, after
he was beheaded, took up his head in his
hand, and walked two leagues. Sceptics
say that if they could only see him take
the first step they could have faith In all
the rest But it is the first step that costs.
They stumble there.
So, many moneyless man is confident
he could pay for farm, If he only knew
how to begin, yet sees all doors of en-
trance to real estate shut, and without
even keyholes. To encourage such des-
pairing land-lovers, let me show them a
beardless boy now doing what they might
long ago have done-see st. Plat take his
first step
The ,744th purchaser of land from the
Burlington & Missouri River Railroad
Co., in Nebraska, was Victor Fitzer, on
June 2Sth, 1872. This purchase was 100
acres at Sc per acre, no part of the prin-
clpal payable for two years, and thence
forward one ninth of it annually. The
first years interest, $57 go, he paid oashe
day of purchase.
&Victor Fitzer is boy OF sixteen. With
in the last two seasons he has earned
enough chiefly by breaking" that is, the
first plowing of the prairie, not only for
his fl: ct payment, but for buying a yoke
of two-year old steers. This yoke, year
hence, will sell for more than enough to
make the payment then due. With the
surplus thus obtained, the earnings for
two years Of yoke of yearlings, which
he can now buy for trihe and the sale
of the same when they become three-year
olds he will have sufficient In 1874 to pay
the first installment of principal as soon
as it becomes payable.
