THE SUN.
DAILY AND WEEKLY FOB 1876.
rUHE APPROACH OF THE PRESIDENTIAL
A election gives unusual importance to the
events and developments of 1873. We idiall en
deavor to describe them fully, faithfully and fear
lessly.
The Weekly Sun has now attained a circulation
of over eighty thousand copies. lts„ readers are
found in every State and Territory, and its qual
ity is well kuown to the public. W’e 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. nows of the day will
be found in it, condensed when unimportant, at
full length when of moment aud always, we trust.,
treated in a clear, interesting and instructive
manner. ... • ,
It is our Aim "to make the Weekly Sun the best
family; newspaper it the world. It will bo full ot
enteritaningaud appropriate reading of every sort
but will ptiut nothing to offend tile most scrupul
ous and delicate taste. It will always contain the
most interesting stories and romances of the day,
cerefully selected aud legibly printed.
The Agricultural department is a prominent
feature in the Weekly Sun, and its articles will al
wavs be found fresh and useful to the farmer.
The number of men independent in polities is
increasing, aud the Weekly Sun is their paper es
pecially. It belongs aud obeys no
dictation, contending for principle, and election
of the best men, It exposes the corruption that
disgraces the country and threatens the overthrow
of republican institutions. It has no fear of
knaves, and seeks no favors from their suppor
ters.
The markets of every kind and the fashions are
regularly reported.
The price of the weekly Suu is one dollar a year
for a sheet of eight pages, and fifty-six columns.
As this barely pays the expenses of paper and
printing, we are not able to make a diecouut 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 in advance, one dollar a year, with twenty
cents the cost of prepaid postage added, is the
rate of subscription. It is not necessary to get
up a club in order to have the Weekly Sun at this
rate. Any one who sends one dollar and twenty
cents will get the paper, postpaid for a year.
THE WEEKLY SUN.—Eight pages, filty-sixcol
umns. Only $1.20 a year, postage prepaid. No
discount from this rate.
THE DAILY RUN.—A large four-page newspa
per of twenty-eight culumuß. Daily circulation

tion, postage prepaid, 55 cents a mouth, or $0.50

DIRECT TRADE.
The Mississippi Valley Tradius Com
pany.
The Mississippi V-attoy Trading;
company, is an international co-op
erative company, organized for the
purpose of direct trade between
Great Britain and the Mississippi
valley. The movement was origi
nated by the Managing Director
Hon. Tlios. D. Wor rail, and by him
presented to the congress of co-op
erative societies of England, which
at once fathered the seneme and it
was incorporated under the English
companies acts, 18G2-G7, with an
ultimate English capital of £15,500,
000, and $12,500,000 of the Ameri
can.
The object of tho company, ac
cording to the articles of associa
tion, are “to bring the manufactur
ing population of Europe, and the :
agricultural population of the Unit
ed States, especially those of Great
Britain and the Mississippi, into di
rect communication by an exchange
of produce, mutually conducted on
the basis of freedom from every
fraud, adulteration, imposition or
tricks of trade, and for this purpose
to do all or any of the following
things:
“To export to the United States,
articles manufactured in Great
Britain or elsewhere, and dispose of
the same to any members of the
company resident in the United
States, either by way of c sli sales
or in exchange for any article pro
duced by them; and if a market
cannot be readily found for any
such articles among tho members
of the company, to dispose of the
same on account of the company to
any other persons for cash, staples
or produce.
“To exp6rt to Great Britain or
other countries the produces of the
Mississippi valley or other parts of
the United States, and dispose of
the same to any members of the
company resident in those countries
either by way of cash nalcs ot in
exchange for articles manufactured
or produced by them; and if a mar
ket cannot be readily found for, any
such produce among the members I
of the company, to dispose cf the
same on account of the company to
any other persons fo cash manufac
tures or produce.
“To make advances of money for
the improvement or establishment
of water courses* railways, steam
boats, barges or other mealis of
communication in the Mississippi
valley. To make advances of mon
ey to any members of th# company
resident in the United States, either
individually or in collective grO ips,
on the security of real property, for
the purpose of enabling them to
raise or prepare for the market
staples produce or any articles dealt
in by the company, or to develop
the agricultural or mineral resour
ces of the company. For the ac
commodation of the members of the
company to receive money on de
posit or withdrawable at call, dis
count bills or notes,- .guarantee
debts, and otherwise transact the
business of bankers or agents.”
And in all other respects to conduct
the business of the company on the
same plan adopted by the co-oper
ative organizations of England.
Shares are live dollars each in
gold.
Payable on application, $1; on al
lotment, $1; remainder by install
ments of sl, at intervals of three

cent, dividend, to be shared ratably
between capital and trade.
If we are not mistaken we
have before remarked that this is
an age of invention. W hether or
not the expression was original with
us is neither here nor there, as
proofs of the assertion are every day
coming to light. Someone not
long since discovered a process for
making glass elastic and pliant, and
before the world has time to recov
er its breath, some fellow seizes Up
on this idea and proposes to at once
utilize it as a material for ladies
dresses. The ladies will probably
adopt it as a startling improvement
on the tie-back, making a revelation
which tire other, tight as they may
be, will persist in shrouding with a
certain mystery.

A Cure For Drunkenness*
We desire to draw particular at
tention to a prescription which has
been printed by the Scientific Amer
ican, which is said to have proved a
practical and efficient remedy tor the
chronic love of strong drink. It is
described as follows:
There is a prescription in use in
England for the cure of drunken
ness, by which thousands arc said
to have been assisted in recovering
yjpmselves. The receipt came into
notoriety through the afforts of John
Vine Hall, commander of the Great
Eastern steamship. He had fallen
into such habitual drunkenness that
his most earnest efforts to reclaim
himself proved r iling.
At length he s “lit the advice of
an eminent physician, who gave him
a prescription—-which ho followed
faithfully for seven months, and at
the end of that time had lost all de
sire for liquor, although he had for
many years been led captive—which
lie had afterwards published, and
by which so many drunkards have
been assisted to reform, as follows:
“Sulphate of iron, five grains; pep
perment water, eleven drachms; spir
it of nutmeg, one drachm; twice a
day.”
This preparation acts as a stimu
lant and tonic, and partially supplies
the place of the accustomed liquor
and prevents that absolute physical
and moral prostration that follow &
sudden breaking from tl>c use of
stimulating drinks.
We can scarcely conceive that tho
Scientific American would have
printed this without being satisfied
of its efficiency. We commend it,
therefore, to tho consideration of
our physicians and druggists. There
arc many men addicted to strong
drink who are worthy objects of
commiseration, lost beyond the it'
own mental and moral powers, for
recuperation and reform. If there
is anything in the world that can
help them out of the slough of de
spond in which they find them
selves, it is a blessing which ought
to bo disseminated.— Chicago Tri

The Origin of the Pin-Back
Dress.
Mrs. Judy O Flannigan tv as an
Irish lady, with limited mcanS and
a good constitution. She, therefore,
like a sensible woman, used the lat
ter to preserve the former by taking
in washing, and soon became noted
as a purifier of soiled linen.
Mrs. Judy was a widow, having
buried her “dear Mike” a few days
after his return from a fair with his
head broken in seven places. “Small
loss” said the widow to herself yet
she waked him in a manner worthy
of the OTlannigans in the olden
times.
Now, Judy lived in that “modern
Babylon” called London, and it
chanced one day that Madame la
Mode, a noted French modiste, while
visiting “perfidc Albion,” required
the services-of one of htr craft, and
being recommended fojJudy, called,
and found her busy over her tubs,
her ample skirts well pinned back
and her person resembling a huge
clothes pin wb licet tied around
it.
Madame was charmed; to her it
seemed a novel sight, as they. do
things differently in la belle France.
There the washerwomen are not
troubled with long skirts; besides,
they generally use the river for a
wash-tub. She immediately felt in
spired with the birth of anew fash

duced the dress called, the “Blan
chisseuse,” which, meaning simply
washerwoman, did not suit on tins
side of the water, and the one now
in use was adopted iu its stead.—
