A gentleman one evening was seated near a lovely woman, when the ootnpany around him were proposing conundrums to each other.

One other scene may properly be ad ded to tliis brief record of the stuggle and triumph of old New York. There caine a sunshiny day in April 1798, when George Washington, President elect of the United S ates by the unanimous voice of the people, stood on the balco ny in front of the Senate chamber in the old Federal Hall on Wall street, to take the oath ot office. Ati immense multi tude filled the streets BDd the windows and roofs of the adjoining houses. Clad in a dark brown cloth of American man ufacturc, with hair powdered, and w'th white silk stockings, silver shoe buckles and steel billed dress sword, the hero who had led the colonies to thiir inde pendence came modestly forward to take up the burdens that peace had brought. Profound silence tell upon the multitude as Washington responded solemnly “I swear—so help me God.” Then, amid cheers, the display of Hags, and the ringing of all the hells in the city, our first President turned tq face the duties lus countrymen had im posed upon hinii In eight ot those who would have tnade ntt idol of him. Waslrfflgtou’s first act was to seek the aid Of other aid than liis'own.

THE WEEKLY s u X 1770 NEfT rOffAT 187 0 Eighteen hundred an sevel.ty.mx is the Centennial year. It is also the year in which nil Opposition House of Representatives, the first since the ivar, w be in pow'erat Wash ington ; and the war °f thf twenty-third elec tion, of a PresidetH of the United afctutes. All of events are sure to be of great interest and importance, especially the two latter; and all of them and everything connected with them a ill be fully and freshly reported and expounded in Thb Sun. The Opposition Hofise of Representatives; taking up the line of inquiry opened years ago by The Sun, will sternly and diligently inves tigate the corruptions and misdeeds of Grant’s bdmimstiTtion ; and it will, it is to be hoped, lay the foundation for anew and bett. r period ill cur national histojy. Of all this The Sun will contain complete and accurate accounts, furnishing its readers with early and trustwor thy information upon these absorbing topics! The twenty-third Presidential election, with the preparations for it, will, be memorable as deciding upon Grant’s aspirations for a third term of power and plunder, and still more as deciding who shall be the candidate of the party of Reform, and as electing .that candi date. Concerning all these subjects, those who read The Sun will have the constant means of being thoroughly well in farmed. The Weeki.v Sun, which Httfe attained a circulation of over eighty tlib’flSAhd copies, al ready bds its readers ifi Sfety State and Ter ritory, And we trust tfiat tho year 1876 will see their numbers doubled. It will continue to be a thorough newspaper. All the general news of the day.will be found in it, condensed when unimportant, at full length when of mo ment ; and always, we trust, treated in it dlefir; interesting and instructive m mm r. It is our aim to make the Weekly Sun the best family newspaper in the world, and we shall continue to give in its columns a large amount of miscelkineous reading, such as sto ries, tales, poems, scientific intelligence and agricultural information, for which we are not able to make room in our daily edition. The agricultural department especially is one of its prominent features. The fashions are also reg ularly reported in its columns ; and so are the nniFkets of every kind. The >V eeklt Sun, eight pages, with fifty six broad columns, is only $l2O a year, pos tage prepaid. As this prlfle barely repays the cost of the paper, no disebunt can be made from this rate tb cliibs, agents postmasters, or anyone.
