THE SUN.
DAILY AND WEEKLY FOR 1875.
THE APPROACH OF THE PRESIDENTIAL
election gives unusual importance to the
events and developments of 1875. Wo shall en
deavor to describe them fully, faithfully and fear
lessly.
The Weekly Sun has now attained a circulation
of over eighty thousand copies Its readers are
found in every State and Tprritory. aud its qual
ity is wen Known to the public, We. shall not
only endeavor to keep it fully up to the old
standard, but to improve and add to its variety
and power.
The Weekly Sun will continue to be a thor
ough newspaper. All the news of tho day will
he found iu it, condensed when unimportant, at
full leugth when of moment aud always, we trust,
treated in a clear, interesting and' instructive
miiuner. ,
It is oilraimto make the Weekly Sun the best
family newspaper it the world. It will ho full of
enter!tuning and appropriate reading of every sort
but will print nothing to offend the most scrupul
ous and delicate taste. It will always certain Iho
most interesting stories and romances of the day,
carefully selected and legibly printed.
Thfc Agricultural department is a prominent
feature iu the Weekly Sun, and its articles will al
ways be found fresh and useful to the farmer.
The number of men independent iu poll tips is
increasing, and the Weekly Sun is their paper es
pecially; It belongs to uo {party, and obeys no
dietatißn, contending for principle, and election
of the boatmen. It expose* the corruption that
disgtaebs the cHuutry and threatens the overthrow
of republican institutions. It lias no fear of
knaves, aud seeks no favors from their suppor
ters.
The markets of every kind and the fashions are
regularly reported.
The price of the weekly Sun is one dollar a year
for a Bheet of eight pages, and fifty-six columns.
As this barely pays the expensos of paper and
printing, we are not able to make a diccount or al
low any premium to friends who may make
special efforts to extend its circulation. Un
der the new law, which requires payment of pos
tage iu advance, one dollar a year, with twenty
cents the coat of prepaid postage added, is the
rato of subscription. It is not necessary to get
up a club in order to have the Weekly Sun at this
rato. Any one who sends one dollar and twenty
cents will get the paper, postpaid for a year.
THE WEEKLY SUN.—Eight pages, fifty-six col
umns. Only $1.20 a year, postago prepaid. No
discount from this rate.
THE DAILY SUN.—A largo four-page newspa
per of twenty-eight culumns. Daily circulation
over 120,000. All the news for 2 cents. Subscrip
tion, postage prepaid, 55 cents a month, or $0.50
a year. To clubs of 10 and over, a discount of 20
per cent. Address

Heroic Act of a Clergyman.
North Mountain is ft quiet hill
side resoi't an a branch roarl from'
Wilkesbarre, Pa. Adjacent to the
hotel are mines and shafts,. In a
new olid of the latter which was be
ing sunk tlie flow of water at eighty
feet was so plentiful as to compell
its temporary abandonment. A few
days ago the “boss” descended the
shaft to examine the condition. He
was lowered fifty feet When the sud
den slacking of the rope showed
that the captain must have fallen
from the basket. It was clear that
he had been overcome by the gass,
and, if lie had not been already kill
ed by the fall, that lib would soon
die from drowning or suffocation.
The group of guests were of cdurse
horror stricken, and urged the un
fortunate boss’s gang—numbering
many in tin —to go to bis rescue, but
they pereuiptorily refused to take
the risk. Their cowardice so dis
gusted the Rev. Walter Q. Scott,
late professor at Lafayette College,
Easton, and present partor of the
Presbyterian Church, Tenth and
Arch streets, Philadelpia, that, ac
coutred as he was, he plunged into
the bucket aud insisted upon being
quickly lowered to the scene of per
il. He was reluctantly let down,
and in a very short time signolled
to the alert and anxious hearts at
the windlass to ‘hoist away.’ This
was done with a hearty will, and
the added weight told them that
the impulsive and dangerous exploit
had not been futile. On reaching
the surface Mr. Scott fainted from
the great stress that he had under
gone, and his rescued burden was a
wet, limp, senseless man. Mr. Scott
was soon restored, and the captain
also yielded to treatment, and call
ed for a glass of whiskey and his
pipe for a little solace. Mr. Scott
reported taat the gass was overpow
ering, and that he was cautious to
inhale as little as possible. He
found the victim under water, and
as he was a matt weighing about
200* pounds, it taxed liis strength to
lug him into the bucket) and when
lie had himself climbed in and had
given the signal to hoist, lie was in
a stupor, and recollected no more
until he revived among his friends.
He was entirely recovered, and not
being of a nervous temperament,
he experienced no unpleasant ef
fects.” —Philadelphia Times.
A Northern Girl’s Opinion of
Southern Girls.
Miss Constance Fenimore Wols
ton, in writing to the Cleveland
Herald, has this to say of Southern
girls: You can tell a Southern girl
at once. She is rounder than her
Northern sisters, indeed she is nev
er thin or lank; she walks with a
languid step, and all her movements
are slow and indolent; she is never
alert. She has fine soft eyes with
a serene expression, very different
from the quick, keen eyes of the
North; she has not the beautiful
red and white complexion of New
York and New England; rather is
she sallow, with a few rose tints;
you might call her cream color.
She never looks anxious, no matter
what happens; she does not think
she can help matters by her advice
or interference, but sits back calmly
and leaves everything to “brother”
or “pa,” pronouncing the latter
word in a way I defy a Nothern
girl to imitate. The word might
be used as a shibboleth; it is not
exactly “pay,” but half way between
that and the sound of “a” in “cat.”
Our Southern girl dresses pictur
esquely rather than trimly, and has
brighter colors and more floating
ends and curls about her than a
Nothern belle allows. She has pret
ty, plump hands, but she is not par
ticular about the gloves that cover
them —I mean particular compared
with Fifth evenue rules. In short,
she is a more voluminous sort of a
girl in every way, and cares less
about “the fashion.” She has one
decided advantage over the North
ern girls, however, and that is her
voice; it is sweeter and lower, a little
trainante, perhaps, but essentially
gentle and womanly.
jggy Paris has anew sensation.
The popular article for summer
dresses for ladies is what is called
Oxford, a cloth made from cotton,
but by anew process given a silk
finish. It is sold at five sous (five
cents American money) per yard,
and when nicely made up makes a
charming dress. Can it be possible
that a fashionable woman will con
tent herself with a dress that costs
less than tin ordinary mechanic
could earn in a year. Paris fashions,
come this way, quickly'

Jfk Negro Prayer.
'* 4 : 4 0 *
The following grotesque yet-soD
emii prayer is n verbatim report'
taken in the winter of 1862—3 at a
Methodist meeting held by planta

camp: '• *
“O Lord God of dis glorious uni
verse, wilt dou look down in the
omnipresence of dy eye upon dese
collored children bowed upon -do

Teaching a Darkey Eti
quette,
A ten year old fifteenth amend
ment of our town'has been employ
ed by a high-toned white family,
who have striven to teach him good
manners. The little cub was per
mitted to Visit liis parents yester-,
day, and while there concluded to ;
remain and take dinner at the old
homestead. At the table the youth
not forgetting the teachings of the
white people with whom he was
staying, endeavored to carry out
their instructions. After asking a,
blessing his father said, “Will you.
liab sum dis’ere bacon, Abram
Linkum V” “If you will please be
so kind, sir,” answered the mild
mannered youth. The old darkey
gave his dusky scion a look, but.
passed over the bacon. Hab some
of dis ham fat on dat bread ?” again
asked the old man* “Thanks, no
sir,” was the'reply. This time the.
old 15th showed his teeth and the
whites of his eyes, at the same time
a ghastly grin was playing over his,
feature. “Huney, will you take sum
of dis syrup ?” asked his maternal
parent. “If you please, mother,”
was the prompt reply. The old
man gave one yell, seized the spi
der by the handle, and laid out this
deciple of etiquette on the spot ex
claiming. “I ’spose you think’s ,
cause you has been libin wid white
folks, you can come here an’ put
on your airs round your daddv
and mammy, you young, black
imp, dat you is.” —Sumpter Republi

He was a mean man who,
when asked for his money or his
life, requested the burglar to take
the life of his wife, as she could not
