CHRISTMAS DAY.

LEADEg, Christmas Day will have
come and gone, ann it is meet thai
on its Threshold we should rcou
to it and its traditions.
From the somewhat mythica,
tones Of the fathers, we are told
that Christmas, as a festival day,
was first established by Il dccreetal
letter of Pone TeIesphorus, some
where about a. ID. 130 But In
the early and Eastern churches the
festival WIS movable, being cele-
brated sometimes in April, and at
other times in May.
In the 4th century, st. Cyril, OF
Jerusalem, obtained from Pope Ju-
llus the 1st., an order to invcsti-
gate the day of Christ's nativity,
and at great Council, composed
Of the Bishops of the East and
West, the theologians decided it
to have been on the 25th day OF
December, their authority for this
being from the tables of the Cen.
sors in the archives of Rome.
In the early church the Dav was
observed as one of pur.iy rel.gi-
Gus character, and was attended Dy
three Masses, which were celcGrat
ed morning, noon, and night.
During the Middle Ages it became
the custom to usher in the Day by
the singing of canticles, or, as
they were sometimes called, Christ
mas Carols. This practice dated
from the time when the common
people ceased to understand Latin
In England, the bells of Aobays
ana Calhedrals were all rang at
midnight, and bands Of reve.ers
Leid high salurnaIia at their
" FcastS of Fools" After the
CrusadeS, the Day, in every ,or
ton of Europe, became one of gen
eral Joy and festivity. Good cheer
prevailed in palace and cot. Aims
were distributed to the poor, and
friends and neighbors exchanged
gifts. An old English ballad has
it -.
' On Christmas Eve the Mass was sung
On Christmas Eve the bells were rurg,
That only night in al The year,
Saw the stoiid Priest The chancel r,ar.
Then opened wide the Baron hal.
To vassal tenant. scrf ana ail
All hailed with uncontrolled delight
And general voice, the happy night
That TO tine cottage, rs the Crown,
Brought udiugo Of salyation's dawn"

In the old annals there are many

Many centuries ago, near Ra-

belief that the subteranean bells of

In the Colonial days of New En-
gland, the Puritans opposed the
celebration of Christmas except by
prayer and fasting, denouucing all
festivities as "snares of the evil
me, aud only indulged in by his
arch angel, the Pope"

TAXING R.iR. CORPORATIONS

The general assault upon the
railway corporations in New Mevi
co and Arizona, by the taxing au
thorities, suggests several consid
erations OF interest. 1t is claimed
by the Attorney General Of Arlzo-
ma, that the exemt ttion from taxa.
ton applies only to the right Of
way, all other possessions of the
corporation beng subject to taxa
tion.
The legal value Of this refine
ment will be appreciated by law
yers. in New Mexico, the claim
is shat the exemption is personal to
the original corporation, and can
not be transferred by lease or 9th
erwise to the corporation operating
/ The rack OF the N. NJ. & s. p. Ry.
We 60 no. believe in trying cases
in newspapers. nor is it necessary
for lis to pass upon the legal points
raised. The fact remains that M
such construction was present in
the minds Of the Legislators or pee-
pie Of New Mexico or Arizona at
the time that at thelr own instance
they made a tender of contract,
or when they subsequently made
themselves parties to contract OF
which the exemption from taxation
for fixed term OF years, was on
the side Of the party OF the first
part, the essence. 1t was intended
to offer and to give to any corpora
ton building railroad, within Ger
tain limits as to time and space, an
absolute exemption from taxation
for the term Of six years.
