THE SUN FOE 1800.
The Sun will deal with the events of the yoar
1880 in its own fashion, now pretty well under
stood by everybody. From January 1 until Decem
' will be conducted as a newspaper, written
fn the English language, anti printed for the
people.
As a newspaper The Sen believes in getting all
tb - news of the world promptly, ami presenting it
in the most iutelligable shape—the shape that will
enable its readers to keep well abreast of ihi
nge with the least unproductive expenditure of
time. The greatest interest to the greatest num
ber—that is, the law controlling its daily m: kc up.
It now has a circulation much larger than any
other American newspaper, and enjoys an iucomV
which is at all times prepared to spend liberally
lor the benefit oi its readers. I*eoi>lo of all condi
tions of life and all ways of thinking buy and read
The Sun: and they all derive satisfaction of some
sort from its columns, for they keep on buying
and reading it.
In its comments on men and affairs, The Sun be
lieves that the 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 cart' that its language is to the
point and plain, beyond the posibility of being
misunderstood. It is uninfluenced bv motives
that done! 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 even 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
first cl !ps, instruct the second, and discountenance
the third. All honest men with honest, convic
tions, whether sound or mistaken are its friends.
And The Bun makes no bones of telling the truth
to its friends and about i:s tricuds whenever occa
sion arises for plain speaking.
These are flu* 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 vigilence on tlie part I
of every citizen who desires to preserve the Gov
ernment that the founders gave us. The debates
and acts of Congress, the utterances of the press,
tlie 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 benefinrriea of which still
hold the officers they hold. Will the crime of Ldr.
be repeated in 1 OV The past decade of years
opened with a corrupt, extravagant, and insolent
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 ? The
coming year will bring the answer to these mo
mentous questions: The Sun will be on hand to
chronicle the facts as they are developed, and to
exhibit them clearly and 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
tilings 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 thesametime
entertaining history of 1880.
Our rates of subscritions remained unchanged.

THiTaTLANTA < (INSTITUTION.
During the coming year—a year that
will witness the progress and culmination
of the most interesting political contest that Las
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 flu* best V 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 lor the
latest news, the freshest comment, and for ail
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. Us 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 fun to the collection of good
things, and “Uncle Hernus” has iu preparation a
series of negro myth legends, illustrating the folk
lore of the old plantation. In every respect The
(! institution for 1880 will be bettor 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
and miscellaneous contents are the freshest and
its market reports the latest.

Do Not Ilelieve! Not They.
It is amusing to hear sometimes the re
marks of tins, who do not biTievo in Ad
vertising. Not they ! But let a hint be
thrown out in the newspaper, that even in
the most indirect manner, is calculated to
bring their business before the public in a
way that they do not prefer, and they will
soon be heard from through the vers same
paper. We have often seen this fact illus
trated in numerous ways—all going to
prove the estimate placed upon newspa
per publications, even by those people
who affected to disbelieve that any value
attached to advertising, They know that
unfavorable newspaper noiict s injure their
business, and yet pstrango inconsistency,)
hold that judicial advertising of that same
business is worth nothing to them. It ie
a notable fact that, in this community, the
men in all departments of trade, who ad
vertise most liberally and p ersistently, do
the largest business and are the most suc
cessful in securing customers. There is a
common mistake among those who even
consider themselves business men about
what is the best time to advertise. When
business is dull they think they can’t af
ford to do it; and when times are Hush
and they have a plenty to do they think
there is no necessity tor it. But a little r. -
flecton should satisfy all such that the
real time to make the greatest effort is
when business is dull, for the man whe
advertises judiciously, keep s himself be
fore tiie people, and makes tlio greatest
efriort, will get tho largest share of the
trade that is beigg done. A merchant or
tradt sman would not think of taking his
sign down because business is dull; no
more should he withdraw his name from
the newspaper in which the peopile have
been accustomed to see it, for they might
suspect that he had withdrawn from l.us
iness. Besides, there are always new cus
tomers coming into the market,and hi fore
they come to the city for their snpipilies,
they look at the newspapers to see who
advertises the articles they want. Lastly:
the local newspaper is a fair roilox of the
business of the city or town in which it is
published, l’eopile abroad properly regard
its colums as a bur index of the business
and enterprise of the pilaee in which it is
published,and if it contains little or no ad
vertising, they conclude that there is not
much being done there, and it is not the
market for them. These are facts which the
oxpierience and observation of every busi
ness man and newspaper reader must at
test. A starveling newspaper, barre n of lo
cal advertisements, is the sign of a decay
ing and business deserted town or city.
Nothing can be truer than that.
The Carrier Pigeon.
Dr. Pbilpot, of London, writes as fol
lows: “I have made valuable use of the
carrier or homing pigeon as auxiliary to
my practice. So easily are these winged
‘unqualified assistants’ reared and trained
that 1 am curprised they have not been
brought into general use by the profession
I belong to. My modus operandi is simply
this. I take out half a dozen birds, massed
tt g tlicr in a small basket with me on my
rounds, and when I have seen my patient,
no matter at what distance from home, I
write my prescription on a small piece of
tissue paper, nml having wound it around
the shank of the bird’s leg I gently throw 7
the carrier up in the air. In a few min
utes it reaches home, and, having been
shut up fasting since the previous even
ing, without much delay it enters the trap
cage connected with its loft, whore it is at
once caught by my gardener or dispenser,
who knows pretty well the time for its
arrival, and relieves it of its dispatches.
The medicine is immediately prepared
and sent off by the messenger, who is thus
saved several hours of waiting, and 1 am
enabled to complete my morning round
of visits. Should any patient bo very ill,
and I am desirous of having an early re
port of him or her next morning, I leave a
bird to firing me the tidings. A short time
since 1 took out with me six pairs of birds
I sent a pair of them off from each village
1 had occasion to visit, every other one
hearing a prescription. Upon my return
I found all the prescriptions arranged on
my desk by my dispenser, who had al
ready made up the medicine.”
Hissing. —Girls take naturally to kiss
ing - there’s not the slightest doubt of it.
A man slides as awkwardly into his first
kiss its into his elder brother’s tail coat,
and his vanity is equally great on both
occasions. He considers them as steps up
the ladder of life, and would have liis pro
motion proclaimed from the housetops,
and shouted from the church steeples; but
such is bis modesty in bis family circle
that when a younger brother quietly men
tions them he looks red and feels unfrater
nal. The female sex obtain their remark
able proficiency in kissing by perpetual
study and constant practice. They are
early distinguished for tlieir aptitude in
art, for what girl is not ready to kiss a ba
by at all hours and seasons? This sort of
kiss eventually dev elopes into the genuine
love-kiss—pleasant to experience and con
template.

A Fickle Woman.— A wedding party i
was assembled at the residence of the |
bride's father at Rochester. The groom j
and the rest were waiting for the girl, who |
l:i>gered in her room. Half an hour after
the appointed time the announcement was ]
made that she had been united to another
suitor, having changed her choice at the
last moment The jilted man was dumb
founded, but ho rallied quickly, congratu
lated the bridgroom, kissed the ' ide, and
proposed a continuance of the festivities,
nn-l they were accordingly continued.
An Alabama woman has originated a
novel industry which may prove to be an
important and useful one. She strips the
down of feathers off turkeys and other
fowls from their quills, snd weaves it in
to a thick, soft cloth, which can be dyed
any desirable color, and out of which most
beautiful and comfortable cloaks, Barques,
etc., can be made. Her inability to buy
j herself a sealskin sacque led her to make
the experiment.
Mrs. Partington says that just before
tlie late war, circumstances were seen
'round the moon nightly, shooting stars
perambulated the earth,the desk of the sun
was covered with black spots of ink, and
comics swept the horizon with tin ir op

fligated war, and sure enough war did
come.
$2.50 A YEAR,
Fashionable Women.
Fashion kills more women than toil of
sorrow. Obedience to' fashion is much
greater transgression of the laws of wo
man’s nature, a great injury to her physi
cal and mental constitution, than poverty
and neglect. The slave woman at her task
will live and grow old, and see two or
three generations of her mistresses fade
and pi ass away. The washer-woman, with
scarce a ray of hope to cheer her in her
toils, will live to see her fashionable sis
ters die all around her. The kitch. n maid
is hearty and strong, when her lady has to
be nursed like a baby. It is a truth that
fashion-pampered women are all but use
less for all the ends of human life. They
have but little force of character, they have
still less of moral will, and quite as little
of physical energy. They live for no great
piurpiose in life; the 3’ accomplish no wor
thy ends. They are only doll forms in
the hands of milliners and Servants, to be
dressed and fed to order. They dress no
body, and save nobody. They write no
books; they set no rich examples of women
or womanly life. If they rear children,
servants and nurses do all, save (o conceive
and give them birth, and when reared
w hat are they ? What do they ever amount
to hut weak scions of the old stock ? Who
ever heard of a fashionable woman’s child
exhibiting any virtue or p.ower of mind
for which it became eminent ? Road the
biographies of our great and good men
and woman. Not one of them had a fash
ionable mother. They nearly' ail sprang
from strong-minded women, who had
nb u as little to diwitli fashion ns with
the changing clouds.
A Good One.
A few days ago, during one of the rounds
through his palatini hotel, the landlord of
the Palmer House, Chicago, entered a
room and discovered a window-washer
leisurely engaged in reading a newspaper.
Being very acti”o himself, he had no uso
for a lazy 7 man, or one who slighted his
work, lie discharged the washer on the
spot, and ordtrjd him to go to the office
for liis pay. The man obeyed, got his
money, went to liis room on the upper
floor, arrayed himself in his Sunday suit,
packed up his duds and descended to the
servants’ apartment to take leave of his
former associates. About this time Mr.
Palmer entered, but did not recognize his
quondam employee iti his store clothes.
“Hero, my man, you look as though
there was good work in you; do you want
a job ?”
The ex-washer, somewhat surprised, ad
mitted that he “stood in need of one.’*
“Can you wash windows ?”
The man allowed that he oould.
“Well,” said Mr. Palmer, “I’ve just dis
charged a man who has been doing that
i ort of work. I paid him only S2O a month,
but if you take the place and go right to
work, I’ll pay you $22.”
The proposition was quietly accepted,
and in half an hour tho discharged em
ployee was scrubbing away in the same
old room.
An Unseen Saviour.
Absence, we have often boon told, can
not conquer love. The victory of love over
absence, when that love was once ground
ed in presence, is no strange things. It is
part of every family history, and conse
crates all our grief. But to love ono we
have never seen, known to us only by his
biography and by a spiritual power wo
cannot explain, is one of the mysteries of
the grace of God. And yet it is ft fact.
Christiancy is not the adoption of a prin
ciple, but the love of a person. Children
who knew nothing of principles, philoso
phers weary of theories which vie bled or. ly
flail of logic, have found in the lore of a
personal Lord the answer to every longing
of their hearts. Here is ono of tho greatest
facts of human history; there onco lived
and died and ascended from earth a Ma*
who, though never seen on earth again,
has commanded the hearts of millions of
men with an attachment whose bonds,like
those of gravitation, are at once invisible
and almighty. Christians sometimes say,
“If I could only see my Saviour and hear
His voice, it would help me to a sense of
His love and friendship. He would be to
me less an idea and more distinctly a per
son.” Nor is the remark entirely without
foundation in experience. There is dan
ger less the personal Jesus ruay como ob
scured behind his doctrine, and we may
think we are rather loving our invisible
Lord when v. e ur : rather loving the truths
for which He stands.
Little Kindnesses.
Each one of a thousand acts of love costs
very little by itself, and yet when viewed
altogether, who can estimate their value?
What is it that secures for one a kind
neighbor t Not the doing of half e. dozen
great favors as in many years, but the
every day kindness, neither of which
seems of much consequence considered in
itself, but their continued repetition-.beds
a sunlight ovci the whole neighborhood.
It is so. too, in the family. The child
whose good offices arc always ready when
they are wanted—to run up-stairs Or down
to get chips or rock the cradle, or to run
an errand and “right back”—and all with
a cheerful look ami a pleasant temper, has
a reward along with such good detxia. If
a little girl cannot take her grandfather on
her lap, as ho takes her on his, iL3 can
get his slippers, or pus away hi3 book; or
gently comb his thin locks; and, whether
she thinks of it or not, these little kind
nesses come from a loving heart are the
sunbeams that lighten up a dark and woe
ful world.
A Word to Uie Young.
If you peroeivo that anything in your
ways that will make your parents unhappy,
you ought to have no peace until you have
corrected; and if you find yourself indif*
ferent or insensible to their will and wist
es, depend oa it yours is a carnal, disobey
dieni ungrateful h art. If you I we thorn"
keep their commandments, otherwise love
is a meru word in the mou.h, or a motion
in the fancy, but not a ruling principle in
the heart. They know much in the world,
you very little; trust thorn, therefore,* hen
i they differ from you and refuse compli
ance with your dosire. They watch over
you for your good, end are entitled to
great deference. You may easily shorten
I the lives of affectionate and conbcientous
| parents by misconduct, bad temper, and
j alienation from their injunction*. Lax, m *
