The Rain.
The long looked for and much needed rain
came up in dashing and heavy shower on
last Tuesday night and the good effects of ii
wire generally felt all over the county, and
the parched and suffering vegetation bore all
the evidence of the good results of the down
pour the following morning. We may now
expect that garden truck will ripsn and soon
be ready for use. Our farmers Who have been
looking so anxiouSly for this shower for the
past ten days will be busily engaged during
the rest of The week in getting their tobacco
crop in the ground, as the shower was so e1-
tensive and penetrated the ground to depth
that will leave it in planting condition for
several days. The i'll effects Of the shower can
also be seen in the condition of our public
roads; as the heavy dasbiug torrents Ithat fell
caused the road beds TO wash in many places
and carried off many of the temporary bridges
that crossed the runs and washings of the
road. The canal near this village broke through
its embankment near the FIRST bridge, for the
first time since the skilled work of Capt Page
erected our causeway, and the water completely
covered the road bed and smaller bridge 10 a
considerable depth but no further damage, save
little washing of the road way, resulted.
The road bed OF Mount Hill will require the
immediate attention of supervisor before it

ofJenifer's Hill on the opposite side of the town.
This hill Was badly washed by the first rain,
and the shower on Wednesday evening has put
it in such "A condition that travel over it is alb
solutely dangerous and some immediate atten-
ton to it is inperatively necessary. Though
we have heard but few reports from the other
sections, We are sure all suffered more or less in

The Mosquito.
Just about his time of the year the mos
quito reaches maturity and is entitled to all
the rights Of American citizenship. Those who
have made study of the bird tell US that it is
born in the month of April. 1t spends its in
fancy preparing for the battle Of life. During
the first month of existence it lies in complete
idleness, giving a chance for its claws and
singer to grow and for a copper lining to form
over its stomach. During the second month
it INDUCES in athletic exercises ard in cutivat-
ing its voice, and at the end of the month it is
the same time and to sing like lark. 1t
spends the third month testing its singer on
the railroad track, and when it is aole to
plunge the instrument Of torture into the iron,
spread it and pull out piece of iron with it,
the animal is ready for active business. Its
mode of attack is treacberous one. 1t hovers
about the back of your neck until it gets every
thing in shape, then it darts around the corner
and with wild shrek sinks its singer into
your face and although you claw at it immed
lately, it is gone, together with gill of blood
and big piece of your skin.

CARTER, :. UNMARKED SPACE.
The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1884-12-24

Here we have two points of interests pre-
sented. First, that an assigned date in some
old calendar may not be certainly squared
with any date in ours; second, that
Christ was held, by some OF
the earliest of his following, to
have been born in May. Others. says Gle
ment of Alexandria held that the nativity
was in April. Yet, singularly enough, the
25th day Is the date assigned in each month.
However, the observance was varied in day
as well as month. Bingham says "The
greater part OF the Eastern Church"-where
We may fairly suppose was the most accurate
and widely diffused knowledge of the events
Of Christ's life-'observed the Feast of the
Nativity on the same day that we now call
Epiphany, or the 9th Of January. 1t denotes
Christ's manifestation to the world in four
respects: Q) His incarnation, or God
manifested in the flesh; (2) the ap-
the manifestation to the Gentiles; 81 the
opening of the heavens at his baptism; a.
the manifestation of divine power at the
wedding in Cana. In the Western churches
q separation appears to have been made from
the first, and the nativity assigned as now to
the 25th of December. This was finally es-
tablished 'by authority" When the OBJ
servance of the nativity began seems to be
even more uncertain than the time of it.
By some it is traced to the apostles. by
others to various times from the reign
of TIajan to that of Diocletian. Its
existence in the time of the latter is
settled by the hideous story of Nioepohorus,
that Discletain, being in Nicemedia, and
learning that q body OF some hun0reds of
Christians were observing the feast of the
nativity N q church in the vicinity, had his
soldiers close the doors so as to bar all
escape. and then set fire to the house, burn
ing every soul to death. The determination
of the 25th of December as the day OF the
nativity is supposed by some shrewd specu-
lators to have been the suggestion of the
season, the winter solstice being the turning
point of the year, when the sun begins to
move back to the region of light and
warmth and renewed life, sort of type of
the resurrection, of which Christ is the
especial type.

RELIABLE estimates of the cotton crop ct
1884, in the South, place the production at
5,SOO,0O bales. Assuming these estimates to
be correct. we find the worlds supply OF
American cotton to September L next shows
an approximation to 6,sl5. 900 bales, against
1857, 600 bales last year, 1866 600 bales two
years ago, and 6.S58, coo bales in 1SS1-S2,
with an increase since the latter date OF
100000 spindles. 1t is further demon
strsted by very simple coarse of msthe-
NAUTICAL analysis that the consumption of
American cotton reached 60S4, 600 bales in
1882; 6,323,OO0 bales in 1SS2-S9; and
6,142, 900 bales in 1ss3-s4. The parties MAX

TIE ORIGIN OF THE ROOSTER.

The achievements of the Democratic roos-
ter in the late political main has awakened
no little interest in his early history. This
is entirely human. The conquerlng hero
always becomes an object OF fond inquiry.
Our gsme bird, having carried off the hOnors
of. the pit, it is but natural that the political
sporting mind should be searching for the
nest in which he was Matched, aud even the
hen that laid the egg. Two biographies
have already been published in these col.
umns, but q veteran Democrat and Senti-
mel subscriber of franklin County, In
diana, now comes to pronounce both incor-
rect and gives what he de clares to be the
real origin of the rooster. This letter says:
"In 1910 Mr.. Psttison edited the Constitu-
ton, a Democratic campaign paper at In
dianspolis. Something good occurred. aud
such occurrences for the Democracy were
scarce in those days. There then lived in
Hancock County Captain John Nidcoy and
]. w. Chapman, the latter q rising Deme-
crat. Pattison wrote Nidcoy and directed
him to tell Chapman to Crow. That letter
was lost, found and published in the Wing
papers. They often edited us by heading
publications OF their election victories with
Crow, Chapman, Crowp Pattison went to
Ohio and Chapman TO Texas. They are both
dead. Chapman OF the Southwestern Senti-
mel nor Crspan of the TefTs Hsute Gazstte
had anything to do with the advent OF the
rooster into politics"
This correspondent we know to be sons
thing of cyclop@iia of Democratic lore
and tradition, and without imposing con-
Trajectory testimony his history as written
will be recommended by the Sentinel for In
PRODUCTION into the public schools. How
ever, as we favor impartial history we will
wait while before making our recommen-
dation, so that Others-if others there bs-
may be heard on the subject,

AS 1T AFFECTS THE SENTINEL.

i
1t is highly favored paper that can re-
view the late campaign and its results with
more satisfaction than can the Sentinel. Its
relation to the political contest was an
anomalous one. We ssk our friends to con-
slider it for a moment. The Sentinel ia the
one Democratic daily at lndiana's capital
city, where there were three others support
ing the Republican cause. The Sentinel
wss the one paper of the Nation selected by
the Republican candidate as the target for
his libel suit shaft. Others had published
full as much concerning that candidate, but
the Sentinel was his preferred victim for
assault. Upon 1t was launched not only
all the sui phUr lightning and sheet iron
thunder of that theatrical political man
ager, but all his organs throughout
the country were banded 10 weaken our de-
Tense and our influence by unbridled defams-
ton. The invectives OF our traducers OF the
press outside and inside the State were re.
produced in the columns OF our local con-
temporsEies with all the mslignity of par
tisan hate. The war made upon Us was not
only ungenerous. but most unfair. Even the
Associated Press, by its indianapolis agency
now openly and now insinustingly-lent
itself to the Republican methods of preju-
dicing ard poisoning the public mind of the
Nation against the Sentinel.
But the result of the contest is the
Sentinels vindicatien and reward. The
National, State, Cong ressionsl and county
tickets it espoused were triumphant. Cleve-
land and Hendricks and Gray and Manson
carried Indiana, BvnuM goes to Congress
from cur district, with but two exceptions
our Legislative ticket succeeded, while the
Democrats made clean sweep of the
county Offices. So the Sentinel, fighting
single handed triad of Republican papers,
has the qualification of seeing the candi-
dates il supported Endorsed By the county,
the Congressional District, the State and the
Nation.
1t is not necessary that We should claim to
have been al potential factor in the con-
summation of these results, to justify Us in
rejoicing over them. We well understand
that the disgust OF the people with Repub-
lican corruption and the reckless faIsehoods
of the Republican press were strong in-
centjves to the revolution the people have
wrought The perfect accord in which our
magnificent leaders labored and the pstri-
otto strivings of q united Democracy were
the forces that overwhelmed the foe. Bat
the Sentinel may at least claim to have
made u contribution, and no small one,
either, to the rallying of these forces. The
liberal patronage we have enjoyed and COZ
tinue to enjoy from the Democracy OF In
diana is sn earnest OF the appreciation in
which our work is held. The assaults and
falsehoods Of the more reckless Republicans
have solidifed the ranks of our party friends
about us and aided in making many fair
minded Republicans our supporters All in
all the campaign hiss ended in splendid
victory for the Sentinel as we'll rs for the
Democratic party.

SHIRTS AT THIRTY CENTS PER
DOZEN


The Republican papers delighted 10 tel
their readers during the campaign that the
poor sewing women OF London were making
shirts at starvation prices, and If the tariff
theories OF the Democrats were successful,
similar terrible scenes and sufferings would
obtain and prevail here. Now, we ask the
attention of our readers TO the following.
which we find IN the New York Herald OF
Sunday-remembsring that the tariff, as We
find il to-day, was made by the Republican
party-made to protect labor" was the
sweet song that was sung. A prominent
merchant OF New York tells the story to 9 re-
porter of the New York Herald:
"Six dollars and ffty-three cents in nice
payment for making 29l shirts, Is il notr'
was his indignant question, as ne pulled q
pay book from his pocket and showed the
figures in black and white. "No, / am
wrong. The estimable employers paid S7.75,
but you must deduct from that S1.22 for car
fares, and then you have 1888 for making
POI shirts. Who was foo. enough to accept
the job2 III tell you. A man came here
from Silesia about fifteen months ago with
his wife and two children. He is bright,
intelligent fellow, ABOUT forty years old, and
has worked for some years on rail
road in Germany. He brought with him
two sewing machines, and he aud his
wife managed to support themselves for
some months by making shields for caps.
