THE SUN FOR 1880.
The Sun will deal with the event* of the year
1680 in its own fashion, now pretty well under
stood by everybody. From January 1 until Ducem
borSl, will bo conducted as a newspaper, written
In the English language, asd printed for the
people.
Asa newspaper, Thu Sun believes In getting all
the news of the world promptly, and presenting it'
in the most intelligable shape—the shape that will
enable its readers to keep well abreast of the
age with the least unproductive expenditure of
time. The greatest interest to the greatest num
ber—that Is, the law controlling its daily make-up.
It now has a circulation much larger than any
other American newspaper, and enjoys an income
which is at all times prepared to spend liberally
for the benefit ot its reader*. People of all condi
tions of life and all ways of thinking buy aud road
Tux Hun; aud they all derive satisfaction of some
sort (rum its columns, for they keep on buying
aud reading it.
In Us comments on men aud affaire, Tre Sun bo
lleves that tbe only guide of policy should bo
common sense, inspired by genuine American
principles and backed by honesty of purpose. For
the reason it is, and will continue to be, absolute
ly independent of party, class, clique, organiza
tion, or interest. It 1b for all, but ot nono. It will
continue to praise what is good and reprobate
what is evil, taking care that its language Is to the
poiut and plain, beyond the posibility of boing
misunderstood. It is uninfluenced by motives
that do not appear on tho surface; it has no opin
ions to sell, save those which may be had by any
purchaser for two cents. It hates Injustice and
rascality even more than it hates unnecessary
words. It abhors fraud*, pities fools, and de
plores nincompoops of every Hpecies. It will con
tinue throughout tho year 1880 to chas ise the
first cltss, instruct tho second, and discountenance
tbe third. All honest men with honest convic
tions, whether sound or mistaken are its friends.
And The Sun makes no bones of telling the truth
to its friends and about its friends whenever occa
sion arises for p’a.n speaking.
These are the principles upon which TnE Hun
will be conducted during the year to come.
The year 1880 will b# one in w hieh no patriotic
American can afford to close his eyes to public af
fair*. It is impossible to exaggerate the Impor
tance of the political events which it has in store,
or the necessity of resolute vigilence on the part
of every citizen who desires to preserve the Gov
ern meut that the founder* gave us. Tbe debates
aud acts of Congress, the utterances of the press,
the exciting contest of the Republican and Demo
cratic parties, now nearly equal in strength
throughout the country, directly ami effectively
upon the twenty-fourth Presidential election, to
be held in November. Four years ago next Nov
ember the will of the nation, as expressed at the
polls, was thwarted by an abominable conspir
acy, and promoters and beneficiaries of which still
hold the officers they hold. Will the crime of 1876
be repeated in 1880? Tho past decade of years
opened with a corrupt, extravagant, and insolent
Administration intrenched at Washington. The
Sun did something towurd dislodging tho gang
and breakiug its power. Tbe same men are now
intriguing to restore their leader and themselves
to places from whence they were driven by the
indignation of the people. Will they succeed ? The
coming year will bring tho answer to these mo
mentous questions: The Sun will be on hand to
chronicle the facts a* they are developed, and to
exhibit them clearly aud fearlessly in their rela
tions to expediency and right.
Thus, with a habit of philosophical good humor
in looking at the minor affairs of life, and in great
things a steadfast purpose to maintain the rights
of the people and the principles of the Constitu
tion against ail aggressors. The Sun is prepared to
write a truthful, instructive, and at the same time
entertaining history of 1880.
Our rates of subscritious remained unchanged.

THE ATLANTA CONSTITUTION.
During the coming year— a year that
will witness the progress and culminauo
of the most interesting political contest that has
ever taken place in this country—every citiacn
and every thoughtful person will be compelled to
rely upon the newspapers for information. Why
not get the best ? Abroad The Constitution is
recognized, referred to aud quoted from as the
leading Southern Journal—as the organ and vehi
cle of the best Southern thought aud opinion—
and at home its columna are consulted for the
latest news, the freshest comment, and for all
matters of special and current interest. The Con
srncTioj! contains more and later telegraphic
news than any other Georgia paper, and this par
ticular feature will be largely added to during the
coming year. All its facilities lor gathering the
latest news from all parts of the country will be
enlarged and supplemented. The Constitution
is both a chronicler aud commontater. Its edito
rial opinions, its contributions to the drift of cur
rent discussion, its humorous aud satirical par
agraphs, are copied from one end of the couutry
to the other. It aims always to be the brightest
and the best—newsy, original and piquant. It
aims particularly to give the news impartially and
hilly, and to keep its readers informed on the drift
of current discussion by liberal but concise quo
tations from all of its contemporaries. It aims, in
short, to more than ever deserve to lie known as
“the leading Southern newspaper." Bill Arp will
continue to contribute his unique letters, which
grow in savory humor week by week. “Old Si”
will add bis quaint fun to the collection ot good
things, and “Uncle Remus" has in preparation a
series of negro myth legends, illustrating the folk
lore of the old plantation. In every respect The
Constitution for 1880 will be better than ever.
The Weekly Constitution is a carefully edited
compendium of the news of the week aud con
tains tho best Bnd freshest matter to be found in
any other weekly from a daily office. Its news
and miscellaneous contents are the freshest and
its market reports the latest.
THE SOUTHERN CULTIVATOR.
This, the best, the most reliable and most popu
lar of southern agricultural journals is issued
from the printing establishment of The Constitu
tion. It is still edited by Mr. W. L. Jones, and is

Winning a Wife.
The followin story of the marriage of
Listz, the pianist, is, if true, certainly
very remarkable and romantic. It ia as
follows:
List* was at Prague in. the autumn of
1846, The day after his arrivrl a stranger
called upon him, and represented himself
as a brother artist in distress, having ex
pended all liis means in an unsuccessful
law suit, and solicited aid to enable him
to return to Nuremburg, his place af resi
dence. Listz gave him a hearty reception
and opened his desk to get some money,
but found he possessed only three ducats.
“You see,” said the generous artist “that
lam as poor as yourself. However I have
credit, and I can coin more money with
my piano. I have here a miniature given
me by the Emperor of Austria; the paint
ing is of little value, but the diamonds are
line; take it, soli the diamonds, and keep
the money.”
The stranger refuted the rich gift, but
Listz compelled him to take it, and he car
ried it to a jeweler, who, suspecting from
his miserable appearance, that he had
stolen it, hud him arrested and thrown in
to prison. The strangor sent for his gen
erous benefactor, who immediately called
upon tho jeweler, and told him that the
man was innocent, that he had given him
the diamonds.
“Rut who are you?” said tho jewolor.
“My name is Listz,” he replied.
“1 know of no financier by that name,”
said the jeweler.
“Very likely,” said Listz
“But do you know that these*’ diamonds
are worth six thousand florins?”
“So much tho better for him, to whom I
gave them.”
“But you must be very rich to make
such presents?”
“My sole fortune consists of but three
ducats, ” said Listz.
“Then you are a fooi,” said tho jewel
er.
“No,” said Listz. I havo only to move
the end of my lingers to get as much mon
ey as I want.
“Then you are a sorcerer,” said tho jew
eler.
“I will show you tho kind of sorcery I
employ,” said Listz.
Seeing a piano in the back parlor of the
jeweler’s shop, the eccentric artist sat
down to it, and began to improvise a rav
ishing air.
A beautiful young lady made her ap
pearance, and at the close of tne perform
ance, exclaimed, “Bravo Listz!”
“You know him then V” said tbe jeweler
to his daughter.
“I have -never seen him before,” she
said; “but there is no one but Listz who
can'produce hucli sounds from a piano.”
The jdwelcr was satisfied, the stranger
was released and relieved, the report of
Listz being in tho city flew, and ho was
waited upon and feted by tbe nobles, who
besought him to give a concert in their
city.
The jeweler seeing the homage that was
paid to the man of genius, was ambitious
of fo m'.ug an alliance with him, and said
to him:
“How do you find my daughter?"
“Adorable!” was the reply.
“Wi at do you think of marriage?” con
tinued the jeweler.
"Well enough to try it,” said Listz.
“What do you say to a dowry of three
millions of francs?” he was next asked
“I will accept of it,” was the reply, and
thank yon too,
“Well, my daughter likes yon and yon
like her,” said the jeweler; the dowry is
ready. Will you be my son-in-law?
“Gladly,” replied Listz, and the mar
riage was celebrated the week following

Not a Bit Astonished.
The fact that the large majority of peo
ple in this country are prepared for any
thing that may happen at any hour of the
day was strongly exemplified at the ferry
dock yesterday. Three or four ‘ ‘old herds
got together and cooked up a plan and
then went in a body to a ragged, woo-be
gone chap who stood leaning over a spite
and developed it. Greeting him with
smiles they each took him by the hand,
and then theepokesmau said:
“It gives us pleasure to be honored
with the errand of seeking you and in
forming you that at our State Convention,
held this' forenoon, you were chosen our
nominee for Governor on the first formal
ballot. It is our pleasure to ask yeur ac
ceptance of tho honor, and in po doing
you insure us a candidate of whom wo can
work with earnestness tnd enthusiasm,
and whose election to the Gubernatorial
chair no sane man can for a moment
doubt.”
The man had not changed a muscle of
his face. He had preserved a calm and
placid expression to tho end, and when
the spokesman stepped back the stranger
turned his quid, spit off the edge of the
wharf, and replied:
“Well being you want me to run I’ll do
it, but I tell you beforehand that I Jbavn't
got a durned cent to spend on the can
vass! You'll have to run me on my
high qualifications entirely.- Detroit Free

Not bt Chance. — Perhaps in some isola
ted instances a man may becoino wealthy
through a series of circumstance very much
resembling ‘luck,’ but as arule, those who
would enjoy success must work hard for
it. Twenty clerks in a store, 20 hands in
a printing office, 20 apprentices in a ship
yard, 20 young men in a village—all want
to get on in the world, andexyeettodoso.
One of the clerks will become a partner'
and make a fortune; one of the composi
tors will own newspaper, and become an
influential citizen; and one of the appren
tices will become a master builder; one of
the young villagers will get a handsome
farm and live 1 k ? a patriarch—but which
one is the lucky individual! Lucky!
There is rarely any luck about it. The
young man who will distance his competi
tors is he who masters his business, who
preserves his integrity, who lives cleanly
and purely, who devotes his leisure to the
acquisition of knowledge who gains friends
by deserving them, and who saves his
spare money. There are some ways to
fortune shorter than this old dusty high
way; but the staunch men of the commun
ity, the men who achieve something real
ly worth having good fortune, good name,
and serene age. all travel along in this

A San of “Faith.”
The man who stands on a dry goods box
and tells the public that the medicine in
tbe little bottles before him is a sure cure
for this or that complaint finds about two
i believers out of every hundred who pass.
If he only finds one his expectations are
answered, and he makes a good thing out
of it. He began his talk yesterday with
an audienc of one. It was a fat, fleshy
young man of twonty-five, with a double
chin and a red necktie, and “faith” was
written across his face in letters broard
and plain.
“Gentlemen,” began the vender, as he
looked the young man in the face, "do
you have a feeling of nashua at your stom
achs ? If so, one of these ten-cent bottles
of my world pannorsea will instantly re
lieve and cure.”
“Just what I want,” replied the young
man, and ho laid down ten cents and took
a bottle.
“Gentlemen,’’continued the vender, “do
you have Dackacke and chills? If so, I
warrant this pannorsea to euro you at two
doses. It has been tried by kings and:
emperors and it has given univer "
"Been looking for just this cure,” inter
rupted the young man, and he paid for a
second bottle and fell back into his old
tracks.
“Gentlemen, it gives me pleasure to as
sert that this medicine was originally in
vented as a cure for headache," softly re
marked tho seller. "When I say it will
cure the worst case of headache ever known
in from three to five minutes, I solemnly
mean what I say. It has been tried in ten
thousand cases."
“Might as well nock my headache
while I’m about it,” said the young man
to himself, and he laid down a quater and
received his correct change for another
bottle.
The young man was still the only audi
ence. Faith brightened on his face, and
he laid down anotheT ten cents with the
remark:
“My old liver is always kicking up trou
ble, and I guess I I’ll cure her !"
"My fellow-citizens,” remarked the sel
ler, as he mopped his fuee, “are you trou
bled with toothache, cutaneous diseases,
palpitation of the heart, loss of sleep, or
in-growing toe-nails ?’’
“We are,” solemnly replied the young
man, and ho invested in another bot
tle.
“Americans—freemen—are you subject
to coughs, hoarseness, bronchitis, quinsy,
consumption, nightmare, loss of memory,
falling out of the hair, or whooping
cough?”
“Hanged if we ain’t,” whispered the
young fellow with the double chin, and
he pocketed his sixth bottle and waited
for rurther oratory. His remarkablo
faith staggered the leader, who finally
said:
“I guess you have had enough for this
time. Tuke according to directions, and
yon will soon feel the beneficial effects.”
"Yes, I will—thank you ever so much
yes—” stammered the young man. “This
ere remedy isn’t good for fits is it?”
“Well, well,” slowly answered the ven
, der, “that is not the regular cure for
fits.”
“Then I guess I’ll take what I’ve got
and get cured of all these yon mentioned*
and then go for tho fits alone and give
’era thunder and blazes wouldn’t you
do that?”
"I guess so.”
“Yes, that’s the way. If you bring out
anything for fits I want you save me a
gallon. I’ve been under the weather
just as long as I can stand it. Good
bye."—Exchange,
Where Does the Day Begin.
Asa matter of fact day begins all round
the world, not at the same instant of time,
but just as the sun visits successive por
tions of the earth in his journey from east
to west. But the traveler who crosses the
Pacific Ocean cau give another answer to
tho above question, and that is that on the
18th degree of longitude, one-half of tho
circumference of the globe starting
from Greenwich east or west —there is an
arbitrary change or dropping of a day, and
that at this point, anywhere, the day may
be said to begin.
It was with strange feeling that the
writer, crossing the Pacifie, having gone
to bed on Saturday night leaving every
thing pertaining to the almanac in a satis
factory condition, awoke on Monday morn
ing ! Sunday had completely dropped
from our culendar —for that week at
least.
Every one knows that in travelling
round the world from east to west a day is
lost, and in order to adjust his reckoning
to that of the place he has left, one must
drop a day as if he had not lived it, when
in reality the time has by lengthening ev
ery day during the journey. For a long
time it was the custom for sailors to effect
this change pretty much where they pleas
ed ; but it has now become a settled rule
among American and English navigators
that at the 180th degree a day must be
passed over in going west, and one added
if going east, in which latter case the trav
eler enjoys two Sundays or two Thursdays
as the case may be.
It is most likely that this particular de
gree was decided on from the fact, that,
except a few scattered islands of Polyne
sia, there are no large communities with
their vast commercial and social transac
tions to be effected by the change. It will
be remembered by all who have read
“Around the World in Eighty Days” what
an important part in the story this simple
evont plays.—Demorests Monthly.
A little girl the other day referred to the
moustache of a young man as a "bang" on
the lip.—Pittsburg Telegraph. If sha
doesn't look out, one of these days she’ll
;-et a bang right under the nose.
Fat has many advantages, but no one
over gives it credit for emotion, and yet
we huve seen a fat man weep. It was a
melting aad beautiful sight, and the coun
try for several miles around was greatly
benefited.
When you see a lady throw her right
hand around behind her back like a base
ball pitoher and twist her body like a cir

down the street on a hot afternoon with fly

looking at his watch every two second, you
