The Exeter Advocate, 1890-12-25, Page 6THE IRISH WAR. And hal is Almost Blindeti by Limo lloing Thrown in tlis Eyo, SOME DISGRACEFUL SCENES. Demme, Deo, — The town clerk at Iingetown presented Mr. Parnell with, ten 'Address, expressing admiration of his re- emlute resistance of the ineolent dictation of Gladstone," and immuring him of eupport in, his "noble work." The addreee contained this declaration : "The people will not accept any Home Rule eoleeme not giving to the people full control of the police and paver to settle the land question, In his speech made upon his arrival tit Mr, Kenny's houee to those who bed eseorted him, Mr. Parnell said he was confident that with the youth of Ireland on his side he would win, and the oommon sense and judgment of the Iriah people would rally in the true path toad refuse to allow the country to be dia. tided to by anyone, however eminent. The Parnell Leaderehip Committee duriug the -day presented Mr. Parnell with an address emphasizing in the strongest manner con- denmation of the "miserable and con- temptible position" the seceders had as- sumed. It said they had belied their own utterances, had been false to their pledges of fealty and to their constituents, and had ignored the principles with which under Mfr. Parnell's guidance they had achieved the only sumiess ever resulting to them from Parlimmentary action. While on the street to -day a hostile arowd threatened Mr. Healy, who was compelled to seek protection from the police. " UNITED IRELAND )1 RECAPTURED. Late tomight a strong party of Parnell's opponents made a descent :upon and recap- tured the offices of United Ireland. The invaders destroyed all the leaders, evhiola had been prepared by Mr. Leamy, who was installed as editor by Mr. Parnell, and threw all the matter that they found set np into the fire. Then they took possession of the ledgers and other books and doou. ments belonging to the concern. All this, was done in the name of Wm. O'Brien. A strong posse from various laborers' societiee has been left as a garrison with instruc- tions to remain on guard day and night, and to resiet by force any further intrusion by Parnell and his friends. It is stated that the suppressed edition will appear to- morrow. AN IMUENSE PROCESSION. Parnell ooneulted with his supporters during the greater part of the day. At 7 o'clock this evening he went to the Man- sion House, where the procession was to form. There the crush and enthusiasm was so great that Parnell and his compan- ions found a great diffioulty in reaching the aoor. The crowd was enormous and the people were tightly paoked and wedged in together. After nearly an hour was spent In forming the procession, a start was made amid the crash of a score of brase bands and the waving of torches. Parnell rode in the lord mayor's carriage at the head of the line. Just as the prooeesion started a score of enthusiastic men unharnessed the horses and took their places, dragging the carriage in triumph the whole way to the Rotunda. Parnell received an ovation all along the route, and at the hall he experi- enced the greatest difficulty in reeking his way to the entrance. The hall had been ewpoked almost to suffocation for an hour tevions to the arrival of the procession. laen-Parnell got ineide he found it im- possible to reach the platform in any way other than on the shoulders of the crowd, and he passed to the stage over the heads of reporters, the audience pressing forward, sweeping aside the stewards, and clamber- ing upon the platform after him. The clearing which began when he entered the hall was kept up for several minutes, during which Messrs. Kenny and Campbell, the , two Redmonds, and others forced their way to the platform. When the tumult had subsided, the Lord Mayor was installed in the chair, and a vote of confideece in Parnell was paseed amid great enthusiasm. PARNELL'S ADDRESS. Parnell said : I have been accused of absence from the field of battle, but I did mot intend to plead to -night either excuses or reasons, believing that yon, having con• tadenoe in me, would not put me to such an ordeal, but take me for what eon have known me to be and for what, please God, I will prove myself to be in the face of Ireland and my fellowcountrymen. (Loud cheers.) There is need at the present •crisis for discrimination and judgenent against Irishmen. Well, I invite them. It is said I was absent from the light. Gentlemen, when Wellington retired to bis winter quarters within tbe lines at Torres Vedras, his officers did not seek to put a halter round hie neck. (Cheers.) It is easy to make ex- cuses for cessation and defection, but I tell you: when the day comes for measuring the amount of my short. camings—(ories of "No ")--and those ot my opponents the balance will not be against me. (Shouts of "Down with the renegade:3M) I did not plead sickness, though, God knowe' it was not the time when I was crippledin herath and strength and felt doubtful whether I would ever again come before yon—not the time to confront me with a movement of mutiny— (arise of " Bravo ")—stronger, more vindictive, disgraceful and cowardly— (oriea of "Healy ") than ever commander. an -chief was oalled on to face. Yes, they bided their time. They thought I was dead and that they might play around my corpse and divert the Irish nation from the true lathes involved without reckoning with you and me and without taking into con. ideration the undying resolution of our race, that when they found a trete man they would stand by hira. (Cheers.) No, I suppose this is a great crisis. Who made it? (Cries of "Healy, Sexton.") It is me. (Cries of "No ! ") It is you or who? (Several voines : (" Old Gladstone, the hypocrite.") We all shall see some day wile aid this deadly thing against our race. We shall know where to affix the stain they genght to attach to me." Paraell mai that, if Glaaetoneainstead of weieing nine days after the verdict, had whispered to him that his retirement was .neceesery be (Parnell) would have saved hie comrades from the position ie which they placed tbeenselvee by the Leinster t esolutiott. He referred imnicelly Glad- -Monate talk of reeigning.

(6) The roznainder of the lieinster re-election was the most ungenerous tont ever uttered. The effort to sustain Mr. Parnell withoutplaoing Ireland false is made a cause of attack, wiz:armee ought to be a vindication. The signers' position before Ireland is dwelt upon at length. They set forth that Parnell's re•election WSS due to gratitude for past services, and his disposition to the foot that if he continued as leader the struggle might have been abandoned. The manifesto says Parnell meet be aware that his pereouality obstruote efforts for freedom and leaves Ireland with nothing for many years bat the abominable system imposed by the present Government. The signers say them refuse to abandon Gledetone for Parnell or to insist upon the Liberal leader revealing his plans, whiob, they elm, would be foolishly to give advan. tageous opportunities to Ireland's foes. The signers refuee to believe Meat Gladstone de- sired to dictate. He was bound to publish his conviction that the retention • of Parnell in the leadership of the Irish party would wreck Home Rule. Why should a man of 81 waste the brief remnant of his life in a struggle foredoomed to feilure ? The signers offered Parnell an opportunity of temporary retirement with a view to his eventual reinstatement, but he never gave the faintest chance of a settlement. Eris, fatal manifesto was an appeal to the hatreds between the peoples of Great Britain and Ireland, and makes it impossi- ble for him hereafter to co-operate with the Liberal party. The manifesto concludes " Fellow -coun- trymen, the issue we submit to you is one upon which the fortunes of our country must depend. May God defend the right.' There are 47 signatures attached to the manifesto, headed by Justin McCarthy. wm. O'Brien Interviewed. Wra. O'Brien was interviewed to -day regarding the seizure of United Ireland by Mr. Parnell. He said : " I cannot believe, unless my orders were disregarded, that the edition which Mr. Parnell attempted to suppress by force was to contain bitter personal attacks upon himself. When the controversy arose I cabled the following to Manager Donnelly : ' If the party decides in favor of Mr. Parnell hand over the estab- lishment to any authorized agent of Mr. Parnell. If the party decides against hie leadership, support our views moderately, but etrenuouely, avoiding all unkind lan- guage of Mr. Parnell personally, and permit nobody to interfere.' I received thia re- ply : ' Message received, your inetrnotions will be strictly obeyed.' I subsequently twice cebled Acting -Editor B odkin enjoiniug him to see that nothing personally °frau- give to Parnell should appear, and for- bidding him to uee the cartoon of the paper in the controversy. I specially in- structed him to print nothing on the subject except whim he should write him- self. On the night before Mr. Parnell's raid, in reply to a amblegram from two of Mr. Parnell's chief supporters, begging Mr. Dillon and myself to come to Paris and asking me to direct United Ireland to observe neutrality in the meantime, I cabled as follows : " Will be delighted to meet Jack and you in Paris. Will gladly direct neutrality of United Ire- land meanwhile, if controversy is sus- pended all round." One of the gentlemen who cabled me that message WEIS amongst those who broke ioto the office. The shares which stand norninelly in Mr. Parnell's name are less then half the share capital in the United Ireland company. Mr Parnell of not, and has nob been for nearly five years past, a director of tbe company. He ceased to be so at his own desire, for the purpose of guarding himself from al/ pecuniary or criminal responsibility for the paper. That responsibility I have myself borne wholly throughout all these years. No director of the company accompanied him, and those who forcibly took posses- sion of the United Ireland office with him had not a shadow of legal authority for their proceedings. As to the recapture which followed, I men only surmise that some kind people of Dublin, who had not altogether forgot. ten me'allowed their natural feelings to outrun their forbeimance. I spent the best years of my life in founding United Ire- land. For ten years it hae, often single- handed, borne the brunt of three consecu- tive Coercion Aces. Words asenot tell how mournful it is for me to think that after weathering so many years of continuous life and death straggle with Dublin Castle, the paper should, in my absence, and while my hands Were tied, experience such treatment at the hande of :lee leader I all but worehipped. But I am quite eager to forget this and all other pereonal °paid- eratione, if by any pmeible honorable means patriotic raen on both sides can even yet succeed In maying the present fatal strife in Ireland. PARNELL'S EYES FILLED WITH LIME. While other Pernellites were addressing the °roe d a number of Davits' followers got together and begieu hooting at the speakers. The Peroellites oiosed around the vehicle from which their orators were addressing the people, and the police ap- peared and tried to divide the Medium The meeting ended in a merle of wild con- fusion, and Parnell and his friends drove off amid showers of stones and mud. Frequent attempts to assail the raembers of the party were made, end several bags filled with lime were thrown at them. Harrington's shoulders were covered with lime, and a mass of lime amuck Mr. Par- nell full in the face, completely blinding him. This infuriated Parnell's friends. Harrington, advancing toward Father Downey, wbo was at the head of Parnell's opponents, shouted, "Coward 1 you are a disgrace to your church." The police again interfered, seed the Parnell party, who had left their cars, again took their setae and finally got away. On the , road Mr. Parnell's eyee, 'which were quite closed, were extremely manful. He soon obliged to step his odrrittge, and ne entered a laborer's cabin in 5 feinting con- dition. A local doctor attended him. Lime had become caked beneath hie eyelida, and the doctor was only able to remove 801210 bf it by using a sills handkerchief toed some hair oil iu the eisbin. The ptiveioian finally advided Parnell to drive to Kilkenny, Find. ing be was unable to remove all the lime, the doctor urged Mr. Parnell to drive with all speed to town, arid thie was done.

Parnell'a sight. Tim Daily News correspondent et Hil- kenny oentraste the Permit of to -day with the remelt of a year ago. He mme when Pe.rnell was denouncing Tanner and Devitt, hie white teeth gleamed and leis worde issued barshly and ferocionely. It was the low refined voice of Parliament bet the hard, cruel voice ef one hungering for vengeance. He patted Harrington on the ehoulder in approval of the latter' s dentin- oiatione of Sir John Pope Hennessy. How meaningless the geature seemed to be. Par- nell's face was thinner than I ever before saw it. The luster of bio eyes was gone and they seemed red a:ad dazed. He smoked many cigarettes. His gestionlations and his familiarities with his followere were utterly different from anything I ever saw in hie demeanor before. The News says editorially: It is evident Mr. Balfour ordered the police not to arrest Mr. Harrison. Should Dillon and O'Brien be arrested it will reduce to an utter absurdity and a revolting fiotion the theory that the law is impartially administered in Ireland. The News truete Mr. Dillon will use his influence to prevent a repetition of the criminal folly of the lime throwing inch dent. The best way, the paper continues, to destroy Parnell's power is to 1st him rave in peace. HILLS AS WELL AS CURES. A. Point in Whick,Roch's Cure Does Piot Differ from Others. A Berlin despatch says : Many mediest men who osme here from abroad to atudy the Koch treatment are leaving with their hopes of its succese abated. Some special - lets continue their demonstratione of the treatment, but the others have ceased to inquire for fatalities. Prof. Bergrefaian, upon concluding his demonstrations, an- nounced that he Lad made injectiommin 0 °sees, but would not pronounce definitely upon the results or the methods of the treatment until a year had elapsed. Never- thelese, he reaffirmed his belief in the value of the remedy. The Herald publiehes an interview with Prof. Virohow on the Koch remedy. While admitting that Koch had made a most in. portant discovery, .Virobow said wholesale inoculation with the lymph was absurd un- til exhaustive experiments had proved its name. It was clear to him that the lymph was dangerous for children and per- sona in an advanced stage of ooneumption. He declined to admit that it afforded a certain die,gnoeis, and said he nelieved its efficaoy in the treatment of lupus etill needed proof. He thought experimenta covering two or three years ought to be made. The reaction spinet the Koola treatment has increased in violence. Eight patients have died soon after the injection of the lymph, and this, combined with thinfine that there has been no verified cure, has intensified the public: feelings against the experimente. A number of hospital patients here and in Lyons, wbo have been undergoing Koch treatment, have refused to submit to further trials. Owing to the pub- lic furor, the commiseion, headed by Prof. Nallopean, ethic% is teeting the remedy, has decided to maintain absolute silence as to the results until the teats home keen com- pleted. A man in Madrid suffering with oon- sumption, who was inoculated with the Koch lymph, has just died. For mem days before his death he breathed witha, difficulty, and bis pulse was irregular: A post-mortem examination revealed the atm' conetimptive appearance and a peri. oardial swelling.

Seliverakoff, to mow from Patio Meer the orime was committed, Padlewsky, De Is Bruyere says, macle bis way to Trieste, where he embarked upon a yeesel and sailed for South America. The statement of the Anarchist De la Bruyere that he aseisted Padlesveky, the euppoaed naurderer of Gen. Seliverekoff, to eseepe, largely engrosses the attention of both the police and the public. The prefect of polioe and the public, presenter neld an extended conference to -day ae to the advisability of arresting De Is Brayer° until the accuracy of kiie story could be tested. According to De la Bruyere's letter to Le 0/air newspaper, Pacilewsky confessed to hint that he killed Gen. Seliverskoff on the epur of the moment after he had had a long conversation with the general. The general had tried to pump him regarding the frequenters of Bernholl's }mum, where Pedlewsky was employed, and concluded by proposing that Padlewsky act as a spy. Ilia proposition Pedlewsky had resented by el:tooting the general, and had eaosped as his victim fell on hie desk, face downward. Three nights later a woman visited De is Bruyere and implored him to assist Padlevesky in leaving the country. De la Bruyere says he wanted on the ground that it was a political crime. He relates how he dim guise a the fugitive by changing the color of his complexion and hair, and afterwards accompanied him to Trieste. De Is Bruyere magus as a farther motive for his actioa that he deaired to show that French reporters were not behind American and British newspaper num in journalistic enterprise. FAINTED UNDER THE LASH. .AnAssaulter of Children at the Triangle— Punishment Postponed. A Montreal deepatoh eaye : For nearly a year at short intervals horrible outrages have been committed upon obIldren, and efor the most part the perpetrators went unpuniehed. One at Met was (Aught and sentenced to two years in the penitentiary with the infliction of 40 lashes in two in- etalmente. One of these he him received, and an attempt was made this morning to clear off the score. The criminal's name is Joaeph Cuseon, and he effected hie pur. pose by entering houses in the guise of a friar. This morning at 7 o'clock he was taken from his oell iuto the western cor- ridor, where the triangle was arranged. The frame stood upright at an angle, stsi the victim was quickly bound to it by straps, and his arms fastened around the posts. The instrument was of the usual kind, a twelve -inch handle with twelve thongs of afimat knotted oord. Turnkey Lalonde, an accomplished operator, was to adminieter the punishment. Everythieg was prepared in a business fashion in the presence of a dozen people. The surgeon gave the word, and the first blow fell with stinging force, leaving well -marked livid ridges across the back. The man instantly fainted—et least the surgeon declared it was a case of syncope, though it looked more like a piece of mockery. The punish- ment was stopped and will be tried again in January. THE DETROIT TRAGEDY REPEA.TED. Masquerading Students In Flames—Two Fatally, Others Serious!y Injured. An Akron, 0., aespatoh says : At a birth. day celebration in Buchtel College last even- ing 30 lady students were gatbered itt the society's library building. They were entertained by eight others, who wore masks and loose flowing garments, with high hats also covered with cotton. The hat of Miss Aurelia Steigmier, of Utica, N. Ye caught fire, and the fire was cam- rannicated to the entire party. Every effort was made to save the young ladies, whose screams were heard throughout the great building, and whose blazing costumes seemed to MI the room. Miss Mary Stevene, of Clifton Springs, N. Y., had every particle of clothing burned from her body and rolled over and over in the centre of the room, where a little group tried to extengnish the flames. Miss Steigmier wag 'burned from head to foot. Both will probably die. Two holes were burned in the floor, but tbe fire was extinguiehed. The others bajared are: Miss Mary Baker, of Fort Plain, N.

His name is George Mullen' and he is mad to be one of a large gang ofmen operating in "green goods " in New York city. For years the country has been flooded with oiroulsrs hinting that great money could be made if the person to whom the letter was addressed were dis. met, and offered to sell "green goods" at greatly reduced rates.

THEY SHAVED THE TURKEY, Howard l'ielding an. Wande Prepare a Chrietmas Dimmer in the Absence of Bridget. A ilIGELY INTERESTING EXI'ERIEN011. The e wird e Furnishes raeat tor Many mead—oresara. mhoet Laid at Last. At the coming of this eeaeon memory alwaya carried me back to the first Christ - Mae day in that household of which I am the nominal bead. Not a line of the picture fades beyond PeCall ; partly beeauee I date the best blessing for whioh any man oan offer thanks back to that period, and partly because the dinuer of our flat that day lef t an everlasting inepreseion upon my digestive apperetas. We had amen married but a few weeks, and I had numb to be thankful for. Mande, too, seemed reaigned. Even that dinner, if I had known that I wee to survive , it, roight have bad a ailver lining. It is natural to suppose that we could have wiehed to dine by the light of the honeymoon with only eaoh other for com- pany. Mande, Wee SO proud of her home, and I was BO proud ot her, and we were both so proud of me, as a man whom even the meet indiscriminating and nearmiglated observer veoulcl recognize as it model husband, that we resolved to ask Tom Reynolds up to dinner. I will remark, in parenthesis, that Tom being disoriminating and fameighted stayed awayon this ommaion but we expected him, and made prepara- tions to fill him with turkey, pie and a desire to foraake the lonely path of cell - balm. The servant told me to order my turkey iu advance, and she suggeated au eight - pounder ; but as I walked so the butoher's shop the warm, expanaive generosity of my heart rose up and protested against such niggardliness. I ordered a fourteen. pound bird. It happened that on the evening before Christmaa our eervant went to call upon some friende, and I am sorry to say her absence was prolonged thirty days beyond her original Intention by judicial interference. But the turkey arrived on time, and he was a .no biped, as I remarked to Maude, after reoeiving him from the hands of the butcher's boy. Maude looked nervous, and asked if I diaret think Bridget would come back in time. I said I dian't, lend then added that I was awfully sorry my own little Maude would have the trouble of cooking the turkey, but that the pleasure to be derived from eating a turkey which she had cooked would unfit it man tor properly appreciat- ing the joys of paradise. She turned her face away, and had a small, convulsive spasm, which I attributed to gratified vaniy. ,ty. B Moto& it beoame evident that the preparation of the turkey would devolve upon Maude She was pale, but outwardly calm. We invaded the kitohen together. The turkey lay upon the tabie, and hie dimensiona were imposing and awful. Mande oast one long, pallid mare at him ; then drew a gasping breath, turned end. denly, and fled. 1 found her with her face buried in a pillow. " What's the matter, Mand? I asked. "The turkey won't bite you; he's dead." "Go away, Howdy," said she, in a, voice interrupted by sobs. " Yon will never love me any more, I have deceived yon; oh. cruelly deoeived you; I cannot, cannot cook. Leave me to my remorse." " My dearest love," said I, endeavoring not to laugh, "you never told me you could cook. If I thought so the responsi- bility is wholly mine. The mistake arose from my immured inability to imagine tarnya.th,,ing.which you could not do if you ie Maude ang her heed into the pillow, and persisted in ateying that she was it wicked, deceitful woman. I perceived that a chenge of us:nice was necessary. "My dear," said 1,Warise, and see me cook. It will do you good." She allowed an eye to be visible, and there was an incredulous look in it. "Can you bake it turkey r she milled. " People don't bake turkeys," seid I ; "they roast 'em. I don't pretend to be a epecialiet on the subject, bus I can cook in a general sort of a way, and it's my opinion Shat between ns we lean get up a dinner such se Tom never saw before." We went out into the kitchen and skirted a fire. It was gettam, late and time was precious, eo I sprinkled the fuel liberally with kerosene oil, opened all the draughte, and let her hum. Then we approached the turkey. " Mamie," said I, "this bird is all right except late complexion. He hau it dark, dissipated look which I don't like." " because he hesen't been shaved." Maud" The little feathere have to be cut off dose to his ekin." "Don's they burn Pena off? I've heard heard about singeing fowl& Of course they do. Jut life eff that stove lid and we'il improve his pereonitl a,ppearance in a ne. hurry." Mande lifted the lid, and a column of flame rose half way up to the oeiling. "You'll barn lam all up if you put him in there,", cried Mande, end she hastily replaced the oover. "We never oan serve him up with those whiskers on him," said I, looking ruefully at the turkey. "1 guess we'll leave to come back to your original suggestion and shave While Mande preps:red some bread crumbs for "raffling" I got bus my razor and tried to sorepe the turkey into shape. Bea be didn't take kiedly to a ory shave. I had to lather him. I felt so touch like a barber while I was mageged in this process, and the poor turkey 'oohed eo humen and wretched, that I got to talking to him. I called him Julius Cesar ana asked him his opinion on venous topics—the tariff, the weather aod the condition of trade. Afterward I inquired whether he would have bay rum or -tonic" and then I geme him a wet ehampoo in a large pan and called "next " These trifling pleasantries put Maude in good humor, and she said that cooking was a good deal easier than she had supposed. We had it good deal of difficulty in stuff- ing the turkey with the breed crumbs Mande had prepared, but Julius Caesar was finally ready to be roasted. The stove, while we were busy with the preperations, had become red ha, but by holding the blower from the parlor in front of me like an old Roman thield, X managed to get the bird into the oven.

But Tom didn't come, and I was greatly disappointed. I wanted to point to that turkey with pride and say that my wife cooked it. Then if Tom noticed anythitg . funny . about the turkey he wouldn't blame me. We had to eat it all alone. We only made a good beginning at dinner, and we dined so late, after waiting for Tom, that we hadn't much appetite for tamper. For breakfast we hadn't moth appetite, either—that is, not for turkey. I have a secret euspioion that Mande launched off something elee, for Julius showed no aigna of diminution when I returned for dinner. Alaude had tried vainly to get another • servant during tiae day, but she had failed and so, to save her the trouble of cooking anything we had Maine for breakfast. I did not eat heartily, and neither did Meade. When I left the house I advised her to . take a good equare lunch, find I remarked, by way of inducement, that the wee looking a little thin.

I took occasion to invite several friends home to dinner, but they all had engagments. Then I medi- tated eending it telegram to Maude that I was detained down town, but that was too mean. I could not leave her to faoe Julius alone. Maude had endeavored to disguise Julius • in a stew, but I recognized him at dinner, and my appetite fled. " Mande," said 1, "don't yon think our poor old washerwoman would like the rest of this stew 2 " " No use, Howdy," said Mande, "this is • only just part of him." For Ave days nobody came to help we out; but at Met my sister-in-law, hearing that Mande was without ie servant, came around to see us. She Agreed to cook the dinner, and when I took my place at the table, behold,there were the bones of Julius.. in a soup. Maud took one look at him and left the table. " Jennie," said I, to my sister-in-law, "is all the turkey in the soup ? " " Why, yes, B.oward, I believe so," she , said surprised. I lifted the tureen from the table and poured the contentsout of the baok window. it struck on the janitor's head, but I paid him for a hat and e. vest and an injured dignity without a murmur, for the ghost of Julius was Mid at last.

Have you ever thought what it muse be to spend a Christmas Day in a lighthouse V For fifty years my Christmases have been there. To you landsmen and women, a snowy Christmas generally means that the day is complete ; but to the lighthouae keeper it is too often ushered in by a north- east gale. As far as the eye cen reach under the light, I see nothing but the fest. driving flakes, while the sea dashes white . on the rooks and is a visitor at my win. down, knocking noisily every few minutes. The wind sbrieks through this old haute, rushes through the lantern with it melee like the shriel whistle of a steamboat fore- telling danger, and even round the doors there is a chorus as if an array of fiende were attacking us. But with all this against us in the elemente'in my girlieh days we had many jolly Christmases, for - we were a large family of boy e and girls, and liked, just as I do to -day, the pleasant - giving and receiving of gifts, which marks - the birthday of Christ.
