Darien, Ga., November 2*, lfm. THE SUN FOR 1880. The Sun will deal with the events of the year 1880 in its own fashion, now protty well under stood by everybody. From January 1 until Decem ber 31, will be conducted as a newspaper, written in the English language, and printed for the people. Asa newspaper, The 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 koep well abreast of the age with the least unproductive expenditure ol' 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 ol its readers. People of all condi tions of life and all ways of thinking buy and road The Sun; and they all derive satisfaction of some Rort from its columns, for they keep on buying and reading it. In its comments on men and affairs, The Sun be lievos that tLe only guide of policy should be 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 is for all, but of none. It will continue to praise what is good and reprobate what is evil, taking care that its language is to the point and plain, beyond the posibility of being misunderstood. It is uninfluenced by motives that do not appear on the 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 oven more than it hates unnecessary words. It abhors frauds, pities fools, and de plores nincompoops of every species. It will con tinue throughout the year 1880 to chastise the flrst cl iss, instruct the second, and discountenance the third. All honest men with honest convic tions, whether sound or mistaken arc its friends. And The Sun makes no bones of telling the truth to its friendß ami about its friends whenever occa sion arises for plain speaking. These are the principles upon which The Sun will be conducted during the year to come. The year 1880 will be one in which no patriotic American can afford to close his eyes to public af fairs. It is impossible to exaggerate the impor tance of the political events which it has in store, or the necessity of resolute vigilenee on the part of every citizen who desires to preserve the Gov ernment that the founders gave us. The debates aud ads of Congress, the utterances of the press, the exciting contest of the Republican aud Demo cratic parties, now nearly equal in strength throughout the country, directly and 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 V The past decade of years opened with a corrupt, extravagant, and jnsolent Administration intrenched at Washington. The Sun did something townrd dislodging the gang and breaking its power. The 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 V The coming year will bring the answer to these mo mentous questions: The Sun will be on baud to chronicle the facts as 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 all aggressors, The Sun is prepared to write a truthful, instructive, and at the same time entertaining history of 1880. Our rates of subscritions remained unchanged. For the Daily Sun, a four-paged sheet of twenty eight columns, the price by mail, post-paid, is 55 cents a month, or * SO a year; or, including the Sunday paper, an eight-paged sheet of fifty-six columns.the price is 05 cents a month, or a year, postage paid. The Sunday edition of The Sun is also furnish ed seperatoly at $1 20 a year, postage paid. The price of the Weekly Son, eight pages, fifty six columns, is #1 a year, postage paid. For clubs of ten sending SJO we will send an extra copy free. Address I. W. ENGLAND, Publisher of The Bun, New' York City. THE ATLANTA CONSTITUTION. During the coming year—a year that will witness the progress and culmination of the most interesting political contest that has ever taken place in this country—every citizen 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 and quoted from as the leading Southern Journal—as the organ and vehi cle of the best Southern thought and opinion— and at home its columns are consulted for the latest news, the freshest comment, and for all matters of special and current interest. The Con stitution 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 for gathering the latest news from all parts of the country will be enlarged and supplemented. The Constitution is both a chronicler and commentator. Its edito rial opinions, its contributions to the drift of cur rent discussion, its humorous and satirical par agraphs, are copied from one end of the country 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 fully, 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 be 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 his quaint inn to the collection of 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 and con tains the best and freshest matter to be found in any other weekly from a daily office. Its news anil miscellaneous contents are the freshest and its market reports the latest. THE SOUTHERN CULTIVATOR. This, the beat, the most reliable and most popu lar of southern agricultural journals ia issued from the priutiug establishment of The Constitu tion. It is still edited by Mr. W. L. Jones, and is devoted to the best interests of the farmers of the South. It is sent at reduced rates with the week ly edition of The Constitution. TERMS OF SUBSCBII*TION.

There is now in the streets of New York a man who was from Connecticut a few years ago anil made $900,000 in. six months. He had $7,000 to start with, partly money that he had saved and the rest borrowed. In whatever direction ho reached, money seemed to answer tho touch. The news of his luck went back and fairly bewildered the town whence he came. Of those who took the fever seven gave up their em ployment and came to tke city, making here a little bunch of speculators liko many another that may be found in Wall street drawn together by like causes, from many parts of the country. It is just when some body draws a prize in lottery, straightway half the people in the neighborhood go to buying lottery tickets. And for the same reason you may find in small towns remote from New York, communities who seem to have a bent for stock speculations. Ask why, usually you will discover that some body from that town has gone to New York and taken up the stock business or at sometime has made a big hit there. Among those who followed the man from Oonnetticut was a young fellow who had about SBO,OO0 —his share of a fortune left by a relative. This made him rich in his town, but be was dazzled by the rapidly increasing fortune of his fellow-towns man. He began putting small bites of his SBO,OOO in the Wall street shark’s mouth and lost steadily, but not enough to alarm him, for he had no doubt his luck would turn and give him as much money, as the man who had struck it rich and made. He met that fortunate individual in the street one day and said: “You’ve got $900,000 enough for anybody to live on. Why don’t you take it and get out and keep it?” “Because I waut to make it a round million—then I’ll clear out.” In less than two months he lost every dollar of the $900,000. Luck went as per sistently against as it had been for him, and in a desperate endeavor to regain his losses he stacked up his margins until the whole great fortune had melted away. It took the man with SBO,OOO a year to lose his money. He made sumfier and more cautious operations, but he lost all the same. He could not withstand the fasci nations of the street, and now he is the cashier of a small banking concern, at a salary of SI,BOO a year. The $900,000 man stuck to it, too. Sometimes he was well clad and again not so well. Occasionally lie made a little strike of a few hundred and speedily lost it all. When he got particularly hard aground he would slip up homo and stay awhile, but he would soon return with a small capital and try again. On August 4th last he appeared with SIOO, which he put up as a margin with a broker who had handled hundreds of thousands for him in his flush days and began to buy stocks. He struck the first of this great flood-tide that lias inundated the country and came in with it. As his profits increased lie keptonbnyingstead ly, putting in all he bail with the nerve of a soldier; and with wisdom gained of previous experience ho stopped short three days ago, when the market became choppy and uncertain, and rested on his oars $300,000 in bank. This safely invest ed in four per cents would give him an income of $12,000 a year—enough for a man of simple tastes to live on comforta ble; but he sticks to the street and is still going in to make it a million, and in all human probability he will keep at it until he is down again, and will wind up by joining the small army of curbstone brok ers who lead a wretched existence and finally fade away nobody knows whith er. Saying “llatHul Tilings.” What a strange disposition is that which leads people to say “hateful” things for the mere pleasure of saying them ! You are never safe with such a person. When you h ive done your b st to p a;o, and are feeling very kindly and pleasantly, out will pop some underhand stab, which you alone can understand—a sneer which is masked, but which is too well-aimed to be misunderstood. It may he at your person or your mental feeling, your foolish habit of thought on some little secret opinion confessed in a moment of genuine confi dence. It matters not how sacred it may be to you, he will have liis fling at it; and since the wish is to make you suffer, he is all the happier the nearer ho touches your heart. Just half a dozen words, only for the pleasure of seeing a cheee flush or an eye lose its brightness, only spoken because he is afraid you are too happy or too conceited. Yet they arc worse than so many blows. How many sleepless nights have such mean attacks caused tende hearted men! How, after them, one awakes with aching eyes and head, to re member that speech before everything— that bright, sharp, well aimed needle of a speech that probed the very centre of your soul! Educated Women. —There are now fifty girls among the students of Cornell Uni versity ami thirteen of them are freshmen. Michigan Univesity has one hundred and thirty-four women students, and its Presi dent says of the experiment of educating the sexes together: “After our nine years experience in co-education, we have be come accustomed to see women take up any university work, carry it on success fully, graduate in good health, cause no embarrassment in the administration of the institution, and awaken no especial solicitude in the minds of their friends or of their teachers, that many of the theo retical discussions of co-education by those who have had no opportunity to examine it carefully, read strangely to us here on the ground. It is a cause of sincere con gratulation that both in this country and Europe the opportunities for women to obtain as extended an education as men are rapidlly multiplying. A popular clergyman was greatly bored by a lady who admired him without re serve. “Oh !my dear Mr. ,” said she, last Sunday afternoon; “there isn’t any harm in one loving one’s pastor,is there?’ “Certainly not, madam,” replied the worthy cleric; “not the least in the world, so long as the feeling is not reciproca ted.” What if the difference between our post office and one of our churches? Ono has the postmaster and the other the most pastor. $2.50 A YEAR. A Wedding King. The other day, when a young man had pulled off two big mittens from his hands and stuck one in each pocket and hacked up to the coal stove in a Woodward ave nue jewelry store, he had still sfficient strength to ask if they kept finger rings there. This jeweler might just as well have replied that he did not, hut that fin ger rings could be found at any boot and shoe store; yet he wanted to make a sale and he answered: “We do. What sort of a ring do you want ?” “It is for a wedding.” “Ah ! Will you have a single diamond or a cluster ?” “I ’spose you’d want two or three dollars for a real diamond ring?” remarked tho lover as he advanced to the tray. He was carefully and tenderiy informed that diamonds had gone up considerably since they were used in his baby rattle box, anil then he concluded to explain: “I’m kinder down on all such nonsense as wedding rings. When a fellow has to get a whole suit of clothes, pay the preach er, come to towu and ride on the street care and .all that, it’s expensive ’nuff. I ’spose, though, I'll have to get one.” “About what price!” “Oh, gl'ty cents or six shillings, or around there. If its kinder gilded up to last for two weeks, that’ll do It hadn’t orter turn rusty under two three days,any how, as she’ll want to show it oft' on the street curs, and all tho girls will be hand ling it. I’ll look at the fifty-cent ones first.” The jeweler went into a declino. He declined to admit that he ever had such a thing in his store. He further said that he could hardly believe that there was a young man on earth who would buy a fifty-cent ring to put on the finger of his bride. “Do you ’spose,” replied the young man' as he reached for his mitten, “do you 'spose I’m going to sell a hull crop of taters to buy a ring for my wife to wear washin' dishes and turnin’the coffee mill ? Sue’s layin’ off' now to have me buy her shoes, hat, muff'and perfumery after wo are married, anil do you think I can rush in here and holler out ‘diamonds? and slam down wads of greenbacks to pay for cm ?” The jeweler leaned his pensive head on bis hand and looked out of the -window, and as the young man opened the door he halted and continued: “Fifty cent ring ! Just as if fifty cents wasn’t nothing to’rds a bridle tower!” He Hadn’t Eat Much. It was Sunday afternoon and young Mr. Staylate had stopped until they were forc ed to ask him to take supper. The best china and the extra silver graced the ta ble, and one of the best napkins was placed before young Mr. Staylate’s plate, for the family desired to create all the impression possible upon the susceptible mind. His young lady was conducting herself with great credit, and the young man was more than evt r in love with her, when the moth er said, passing the cake for the second time; “Won’t you have another piece, Mr. Staylate ?” “No, thank you,” said the young man in liis politest tone, not any more. Oh, do just have one more, urged the mother smiling sweetly; you haven t eaten, hardly anything.

The old trick of getting up a sham fight in the gallery- of a theatre, and then thrown ing the stuffed figure of a man over the railing was successfully placed at Lead ville. The excitement in the lower part of the house caused a panic in the house, and an actress fainted on the stage. There is nothing like settling dowD, said a retired merchant confidentially to his neighbor. “When I gave up business I settled down, and found I bad quite a comfortable fortune.
