i.a.

who Knows.
EDITOR TINES "a Veteran" whose
brief military history is published in your
paper this morning, makes several mis-
regarding his war record. There
was no company in the First Kansas Inian-
try from Manhsttan. Company A" was
from Elwood, and was commanded by Capt
who has since died while serving
the government in the capacity of Minister
to China. The regiment never had a Colonel
by the name OF Spinner; Geo. w. Deitzler,
Of Lawrence, was It's Colonel.
Five companies OF the regiment were
raised in this city, and if "A War Veteran"
was one OF Its members, there are plenty of
bis old comrades in arms here who would
see that he should not be obliged to crave
the shelter of the calaboose to protect him

THE FEAST OF Fasting.

gin; such is the opinion Of -. Jerome.
But the greater number OF Protestants con-

The common opinion IL that II was e-tab-
tabiished as a preparation for the great an
niversaries Of Christ's crucifxion snd resur-
rec,ion and an remembrance Of his fast Of
forty DAYS in the wilderness. Some authors
contend that in The beginning this prepara-
tory feast was limited TO the first four days
of Holy Week, embracing a fast OF forty
hours, which was gradually extended TO
forty days; but according TO others the fast
was one Of forty dsys from the very first.
The Latins and Greeks before the 4th
century considered the forty days before
Easter as set apart for fasting and PRAYER,
beginning with what il now the first sun
day in Lent and rminsting with Holy
Thursday. There is considerable unoer-
hdlAiC Va AhS
obligation Of fasting The fAsts Of Holy
Week seem 10 have been kept by all as OBJ
ligatory; but the Others, it Is thought, were
assumed as voluotary. The general Gus
tom came at length TO be general law.

scribed entire abstinence from food on

In the Greek church. In the United SJ4tes
the use of flesh meat is allowed several
times a week, in scoordapce with the de-
mands made by each bishop for his diocese,
but fish and flesh are never allowed during
Lent at the same meal. The fourth Sur day
in Lent ia often termed Mid Lent Sunday or
Passion Sunday.
