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. For the Daily Sun, a four-paged sheet ot twenty eight columns, the price by mail, post-paid, is 5.% cents a month, or fill a year; or, including the Sunday paper, an eight-paged sheet of fifty-six columns,the price is 05 cents a month, ors? a year, postage paid.

For clubs of ten sending SSO we will send an extra copy free. Address 1. W. ENGLAND, Publisher of The Sun, New York City. 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. 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 Constittj ti' n . It is still edited by Mr. W. L. Jones, and to 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 SUBSCRIPTION.

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. - IT-1IY I ...—*'? 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 eratic tails. Everybody said that it pro 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 * 1 this sin be laid to-ypur charge.
