Crbistmas is the day on which the captivity of our Saviour is observed. The institution of this festival is attributed to Telesphorus, who nourished about 108 A. D. But their docs not appear to have been any uniform ity in the period of observing the day among the early churches. Some, as history informs us, held the festival in the month of May, or April, otheis in January. In the 4th century Pope Julius I. ordered an investigation concerning the day of Christ's nativity, and the result was an agreement upon the 25 day of December. The observance of the day as a religious festival is confined almost exclusively
to the Roman Catholic and Episcopal Churches. Most of the protestant churches reject it in its religious, aspect. Especially is this true of the Presbyterian churches of Scotland, and of the English Lessen ters, and the representatives of those creeds in thiscountrv. These denominations regard the religious observance of the day as a human invention, and as savoring of papistical will-worship, although the day is generally observed by a'l ciexls as a social holiday. It is conceded now by the very best authorities, that the 25th day of December cannot bo the date of the nativity of our Saviour, for the reason that this is the height of the rainy season in Judea, and it is regarded as highly improbable that the shepherds would be watching their flocks by night on the plains. It is more probable that the date occurs sometime in April or May, as seems to have been the opinion of some of the earlier churches. At any rate it is certain that there is no divine authority for fixing the date upon December 25th, or for the observance ol the day of Christ's nativity at all. If it had been designed that the day should be observed it is unlikely that the fixing of the exact date would have been left io the decision of human authority. But whatever is, tr may have been tho opinion of the people in regard to tho propriety of observing Christmas as areligiovs festival. This anniver
sary is becoming more and more tho great domestic and social festival of the year. It is the day that leads all the rest, in the estimation of the little folks. It is the day upon winch Santa Glaus, that great mystical myth, delights the hearts ot the children with his many wonderful pros ents. Itistheday when peace and good will nrevails in the fa mil v circle and among: friends. For these and several other reasons Christmas is and ought to be commemorated. Louisville Commercial: The fall term of the University closed to-day with the usual examinations. The attendance has been about the same as last year, and more valuable and efficient work has never been done, perfect harmony prevailing among both faculty and students. In fraternity circles everything is active. Of these organizations the gentlemen have five and the ladies two. Next term the membership of each will stand about as follows: Phi Delta Thetn, 24; Phi Kappa Psi, 16; Sigma Chi, 17; BetaThetaPi, 12; Phi Gamma Delta, 12 of the gentlemen. Kappa Alpha Theta, 19;. Kappa Kappa Gamma, 15 of the ladies, In another column of this issue will be found the "prospectus" of the famous and old reliable New York Tribune without an equal in the newspaper world. To the- political reader, and especially to the stndeut or young man just informing himself of political parlies and record.", there is no better periodical published. Special attention is directed to the amazing premiums offered. The Auditor of Kentucky informs the Legislature that there are 367,163 legal voters in the State. At the last Presidental election ffeert were 266,870 vo' es cast in Kentu Ay. The other 100,000 were cast for Hancock in Ohio and Indiana, perhaps. Theit- are many of our subscrib

The Bedford Journal says tho Dunn boys have a p'eee of finely polished stone in their office from the quarryjit Bloomingioa. It is a nice piece oTPWorknianship as well as a nice piece of atone. The jovial face of Cap. Fields, of Ellettsvillt, was noticed on our streets last Wednesday, Oapt. has many warm friends in Bloemington who are pleased to know he is at the head of business circles at EHett'iville. Joseph MoPheeters has received his reappointment as Post Master of Bloomington for another term oi four years. The very fact that Mr. McPheeters is one out of three Pout Masters in the country that has held tuo omce BO ions: witnout a single complaint, is an honor in itself. The department makes it the duty of a Pvst Master to examine postal cards an:l to see that theT con tain no improper matter, but htj must not disclose their contents. The President evidently made a mistake if the report is true that no more females are to be commissioned. They make such a pleasant duty ot exam ining the cards. Two of the University boys were somewhat surprised upon reaching their homes. Ira Batman, near Bedford, when he arrived, found that burglars had ransacked the house the pre vious night and shot his father through the hand. Will Haldcrman, wiio lives at Lai will,, found his father's business block partly destroyed by fire and that the safe had been blown open (which fired the building) and $7,000 in cash .-.a-riod away by unknown persons.
