THE SUN DANCING ON EASTER DAY.

There is not al important festival in the
Christian year concerning which there were
not, in the ol,len time, more or less supersti-
tons, and concerning as important day as
Easter they were abundant. 1t was, in the
middle ages, common idea that the sun
danced on Easter day. AS TO the origin of
the superstition, there appears to be no def
mite explanation. All are familiar with Sir
john Stockings matches little poem, THE
Bride in which occur the lines:
But oh, she dances such a wayl
No sun upon an Easter day
Is half so fine sight.
1t is a curious fact that both Brand and
Hone. who misquote Sir John Stockings
beautiful lines, fail to credit their authorship
to him, in fact do not appear to know who
wrote them and dismiss them with the re-
mark that they are in an old ballad.
In Dunton's ''Athenian Oracle" occurs tho
inquiry 'Why does the sun at his rising play
more on Easter day than Whitsundayf' The
question is answered thus:

accompanied with loud shouts. and the ex-
acting of kiss for each one of the Efters.
The accepted mode, as it seems, was for two
to lift, one on either side, and the chair,
gayly decorated, to be raised high above the
heads Of the lifters It is further related that
any preferring were allowed TO pay forfeit
of money, instead of the kiss, before they
were let out.

s'The matter Of fact is an old, weak super
stitious error, and the sun neither plays nor
works on Easter day more than any other.
1t is true, it may sometimes happen to shine
brighter that morning than any other; but
if it does it is purely accidental. In some
parts of England they call it the lamb play
ing, which they look for as soon as the sun
rises, in some clear or spring water, and is
nothing but the pretty reflection it makes
from the water which they may find at any
time, if the sun rises clear and they them
selves early and unprecedented with fancy
The folly was kept up by the fact that no
one could view the sun steadily at any hour,
and those who choose to look at il or at its
reflection in the water saw 1t apparently
move as they would on any other day.
Again, from 1.-THE British Apollo nos, a
supposed question to the sun himself upon
the subject elicits suitable answer:
Odd wives, Phebus. say
That On Easter Day
To the music o III spheres you do caper:
If the fact, sir, be true,
Pray let's the cause know.
When you have any room in your paper.
A.-The old wives get merry,
With spiced ale or sherry,
On Easter which makes them romance;
And whilst IN & rOu:
Their brains whirl about,
They fancy we caper and dance.

could not positively say from remembrance
whether he had not seen it tried, an ingen-

CRAwFoRDsvILLE, Nov 13.-The Republicans
OF this place have been celebrating for week,
and ended it to-day in q monster demonstration
that commenced to make noise as o'clock in
the morning and kept it up until midnight. All
the Republicans wore victorious smblems Of
some kind about their clothes, the most popular
being expressive cards stuck in hats. In the
procession was an eagle captured by Henry
Alfrey, who has named 1t ben Harrison" 1t

now MIR. Alfrey has presented il to the Re-
publicans of Montgomery county, who will on
tomorrow send it TO Gen. BENZ. Harrison. Tin
horns were very numerous, and upon . dray
one wagon there were several men with red
faces. labeled Omitted States Marshals."
Among the numerous banners there
was one representing Cleveland fishing.
which caused loud hurrahs az il passed along
The procession was very long. consisting OF two
bands, two drum CORDS, decorated wagons, stu
dents, a regiment of schoolgirls with horns,
veterans, horsemen, men on foot, 1910 voters,
carriages, Cory's ''1S40 cannon" and several
wagons representing business houses. Delega-
tons were in attendance from other places, and
il was the unanimous verdict of everybody that
such jollifcation has never been held in this
city. After the procession was through march
ing, Col. j. A. Brideland, of Indianapolis, and
Hon. NJ. d. White addressed the throng at the
courthouse. The music Of the tin horn was
equal TO the emergency, however. and the
speakers were almost drowned out with noises.
At 1880 o'clock the procession was again
formed. and marched through the principal
streets, with the usual amount Of noise.
Speeches were made by several persons at the
courthouse, and along toward midnight the
noise died away, and the great celebration was
over.

to cents per mile. the present rate being $40,
and that the company place three orakemen in
stead OF two to each train. About one hundred
men on the north and south divisions are idle in
consequence. The railroad officials have asked
for police protection, claiming they were fearful
Of damage TO property, but the men are orderly.
New ALBANY Nov 13.-This morning the
officials of the Louisville, New Albany g. Chica-
20 railway, at this point, were notified that
freight trains could not be handled by the brake
men unless their demands were acceded 70. The
demands in question are for three men on
through freight trains, instead OF two as at pres
emit; two cents per mile for one hundred miles or
less; $50 per month for local brakemen, and ex-
ira wages for Sunday work. This, the brake
men say. has been asked for. but the company
has thus far declined their proposition. Super

willing to do what be could in the way of adjust

that the average wages were being paid. He
