December ."•th, Hto, 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. For the Daily Sun, a four-paged sheet of twenty eight columns, the price by mail, post-paid, is 5 5 cents a month, or @6 SLSi a year; orf including tbe Sunday paper, an eight-paged sheet of fifty-six columns,the price is f!& cents a month, or #1 ?o a year, postage paid. The Sunday edition of The Sun is also fnrnish ed seperately at $1 X# a year, postage paid. Tho price of tho Weekly Sun, oight pages, fifty six columns, is #1 year, postage pai l. For clubs of teu sending $lO we will send an extra copy free. Address I- W. ENGLAND, Publisher of The Sun, New York City. 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 devoted to the best interests of tho farmers of the south. It is sent at reduced rates with the week ly edition of The Constitution. • TEBY&e OK SUBhCHHTTON.

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 week. 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 Press. 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 $2.50 A YEAR. 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 cus contortionist, or a gentleman rushing down the street on a hot afternoon with fly coat tails, hat on the back of his head, and looking at his watch every two second, you , may know that thev both are trying to ' ,v.f.
