The Sun will deal with the events of the year 1880 in its own fashion, now pretty well under stood by everybody. From January 1 until Decem ber 111, 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 keep well abreast of the age with tho 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 readers. People 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 tbe 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 tho point and plain, beyond the posibility of being misunderstood. It is uninflnenoed by motives that do not appear on the surface; it lias 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 18,so to chastise the first cl iss, instruct the second, and discountenance the 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 iriends 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 vigilence on the part of every citizen who desires to preserve the Gov ernment that the founders gave us. The debates and acts ol‘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 and effectively upon the twenty-fourth Presidential election, to be held iu 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 1870 be repeated in 1880 ? The past decade of years opened with a corrupt, extravagant, and insolent Administration intrenched at Washington. The Bun 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 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, witli •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 wntc a truthful, instructive, and at the same time entertaining fciatory of 1880. Our rates atf tubscritions remained unchanged. For the Daily BK:n, a four-paged sheet ot twenty eight column*, the price by mail, post-paid, is cents a month, or s4l 50 a year; or, including the Sunday paper, an eight-paged sheet of fifty-six columns,the price is 45 cents a month, or $7 70 : a year, postage paid. The Sunday edition of The Sun is also furnish ed seperately at $1 20 a year, postage paid. The price of the Weekly Sun, eight pages, fifty six columns, ># a year, postage paid. For clubs of ten 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 culmination of the most interesting political contest that has ever taken place in this country—every citizen aud every thoughtful person will be compelled to rely upon th® 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 tho best Southern thought and opinion— and at home it*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 he ’enlarged and supplemented. The Constitution is both a chronicler and commentater. 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 tho 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, iu 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 tho collection ol 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 tbe news of the week and con tains the best and freshest matter to be found iu any other weekly from a daily office. Its news and miscellaneous contents arc 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 Thf. Constitu tion. It is still edited by Mr. W. L.

U.'ve • . o**D V ef ”5, ‘• , One of Those Lucky Old Horseshoes. “I saw a funny sight in the street just now,"said Mr. Patterson to his friend, Mr. Johnson, in the Fifth Avenue Hotel barber saop, recently. “I met an elegantly dress ed lady carrying in her hand an old horse shoe covered with mud. I*presume she had just found it, and was carrying it home for good luck.” “Good luck,” replied ( Mr. Johnson; “don’t talk to me about old horse shoes and good luck. About a month ago fay wife and I were returning' from Church, one Sunday, when just in front of the now Common Catholic Cathedral, in Fiftieth street, a horse, which was being diiven at aj lively gait, threw a shoe, audit went ringing along the pavement. ‘Go and get that shoe,’ said my wife,‘and we will keep it for good luck.’ I picked it up, utterly ruining one ofgloves in doing so,as- it was covered with mud. This I was going to wipe oft' on the curb, but my wile cried out: “Ob, don’t do that, for if you do you will wipe out all your luck,” Sol lugged the old thing all the way home, and over the door we hung it,mud and all. The next morning I went down to the store, wandering what my first streak of good luck would be. Before night I had a misunderstanding with my employer— with whom I have been for several years— we both got hot, and the result was that he gave me notice that, after the first of January next he would dispense with my services. A few days after my wife went to do a little shopping, and lost her pock et book containg all the money we had been saving a long time to spend for holi day presents and amusements. In fact, fot about two weeks everything’seemedto go against me, and I was finally in hot water all the time. Finally, I said to my wife one day that I believed that it was that cursed old horseshoe that was to blame for all, and that I was bound to take it down and put it Lack in the street, just where I found it, and so I did. The very morning my employer sent for me to come and see him in his private office. He said he had been mistaken in the matter about which we had differed, apologized for what he had said, hoped there would be no ill-feeling about it, and wound up by engaging me for another year at an increased salary. I went home that night feeling better matured than I had for weeks. I told my wife of my good luck, aud then she took a letter from her pocket a letter which she had that day re ceived from her father, notifying him that he was going to send her a check for SSOO for a Christmas present. In fact, I have had only good luck since I threw away that old horseshoe. They may bring luck to some folks, _ but iny wife and I don’t want any more horseshoes in ours, yon bet.” A Hide Wins a Bride. The news of a curious sequel of a love aftair has just reached us, suys the Port land (Oregon) Bee, here from Fort Town send. His passion being promptly recip rocated, marriage was soon proposed; but the young lady's parents would have none of this. The father and a belligerent un cle threatened to do the young Borneo seri ous personal injuries in case his attentions to his fiancee were continued, and forbade him ever again entering the premisis. The young lady has been represented as having been bitterly persecuted' on ac count of her refusal to discountenance the discarded suiter. The young man becom ing aware of this fact, determined at once to consummate the nuptials. Accordingly, procuring a license and the services of the necessarily constituted authority, and withal a good Winchester rifle, repaired at once to the abode of the young woman’s parents. Encountering the father and the irate uncle in the yard, he bade them ‘hands off," declaring they lmd threatened to do him personal injury, and that in the eyes of the law a _he would be justified in doing serious execution with his rifie in case they attempted to execute them, and right there before the gaze Of the two as tonished beligerents.with one eye fixed on them, the other on the fair one by his side, and with one hand clutching his ritile and the other hand grasping that of his affianced, the nuptial knot was tied, when the happy couple departed. A Tiiamp i.NgCujs;e Quarters.— The other day a genuine tramp with a stomach yearning for a pick-up meal undertook to enter a yard on Main street. A large, fierce dog stood at the gate to give him a hostile welcome, and after vainly trying to propi tiate the animal, the tramp called a lad of ten who was making a kite ou the veranda: “Hey, sonny!” “Yes, I’m hay,”,.was the reply. “Say, bub, call oft’yer dog.” “No use- no use,” replied the lad. “Even if you got in here, ma’s ’waiting at the kitchen door with a kettle of hot water. Sarah’s working the telephone to get the police, and I’m here to holler ‘murder ? and wake up the whole street!” A Consoling Prospect.— A young man had been courting a girl for a long time. One night he said to her father: “Sir, when can Jennie and I get mar ried V” “I can t spare Jennie until I get some one to take her place,” answered the girls father, adding: When I marry, you may.” “When do you expect to get married, sir ?” “When I find someone who will have me.” The young man thought his chances were slim. Dignity sedom goes out’for a holiday and never goes off guard. It is always to be found at its post, vigilant, prepared to take the offensive as well as to defend it self, should the Kinalh’st occasion arise. It cannot believe in the innocent intentions of its friends, but devotes its brains as well as its time to suspicions which discover nothing but the assertion of its own im portance. A word or look thoughtlessly spoken or carelessly given wounds it to quick; and what others would pass by as not worth a second thought,dignity main tains to be cause sufficient for a quarrel. “Some more cheese, please,” said a small boy of eight to bis papa at dinner. “No, my child,” was the reply of the prudent parent; “you have already had enough. When I was a child I had to eat mv bread and smell mv cheese."’ “Well,” said son- XIV, r 7'^ r H' r- ? nice*? to StDOli’ $2.50 A YEAR. The Right Sort of a Mas. Yon will find as a role that the then, who are favorites with nw*i are tfye best, truest in their relations to women. ¥, the men who like sometimos to turn their' backs on all women anil go off “with the other fellows,” and have a good boyish time on the water, or the mountain, or id some other man’s “den." Women need never be afraid to trust their happiness to those whom other good men esteem good fellows; but if a man is avoided by men, however much women adtoite him, shun him. It is ho who Las flirtations that come to nothing, and ha* “not been very nice” to the gills who have broken their engngemets with him; who, when he' marries, wrings his wife’s heart, if she has one, and spoils her tom per if she is natur ally an angel. Manly men are the best lovers,the best husbands, the cO&ipanionS for women, just as womanly women are the best sweethearts and wives. What do we think of women who shun their own sex, however charming men may find' them ? It is seldom, if ever, that your men’s favorite ill-uses his wife. Petfcaps it may be explained in this way: iDnend ship of a subliiner sort is what love be comes after a year or so of marriage, and lie who is friendly to the very depths of his soul enters into this state happily and* is ready for all the delights that follow. But a man who is capable of nothing but, a fleeting affection which ever pursues a new object, and cares for no woman when she is won, hates the domestic tics and becomes detestable in consequence. It is the man who would die for his friend, and for whom his friend woutd die, who makes a miraculously happy wife of the* woman to whom he scarcely knew how to’ make love when he courted hef. How Indians Hunt Buffalo. The commandant of a post generally gives the Indians under his control permission to go on a buffalo hunt about twice a year. A party of from tw o to three hund/ed are allowed to go out at a once, and may be out for from thirty to ninety days, being during that time accompanied by two or three soldiers from the garrison. The party is divided and the herd is surrounded the circuit being almost a half mile in di ameter. When about half around, the signal is given to charge, and the bucks commence to ply their arrows. The' excited buffaloes run forward, until prob ably one-fifth of them are kiileqp when the hunt is temporarily over,at least The squaws have, in the meantime, come along and picked up their husbands clothing, and follow after to complete the work of the chase. The back, having shot his hufl’alo, rushes forward to pa m the animal over so that he will not fall on the side which the arrow htw pierced an<f break it. He cuts the arrow out of its/ place, puts it back in his and tbstv marks the buffalo with his peculiar brand, which may be a cut in the nostril, in the ear, thigh, or some other part of the body. Here again, then, the squaws gets her onerous share of thw work in. She die* tinguislies the animal her buck has slain,. skins it, cuts the meat away from the bones in the most convenient on ihurried manner, an packs it to where the bucks have already made a permanent camp,. in the vicinity of the nearest water. A Poor Excuse.. A well-known Sacramentan who had been out with “tne boys" until three o’clock in the morning, felt a trifle uneasy as to what his wife would say upon the subject, and determined to adopt a little piece of strategy. He entered the house cauciously, noiselessly removed his boots, and then made his way to their bedroom.. He was not so obfusticated but that he knew it would be dangreous to gfet into bed, so, after disrobing, be took up a position by the side of the baby’s cradle, and began rocking it like a 4i) er. His wife, aroused by the noise discovered him, as it waa. part of his deep-laid scheme that she should, and called out; “Why, what on earth are you doing there? “Doing ?” he replied, keeping the kinks out of his tongue by an almost superhu man effort. Doing? I’m trying to get this baby asleep! She’s been crying half an hour, and you've slept through it all!” His air of righteous indignation was well put on, but it wouldn’t do—luck was against him. “What do you mean?” his better-half sternly responded. “I have got the baby in bed here with me, and she hasn’t cried to-nihgt! When did you come home ?” How Air is Woven. The Decca muslines of India are among the most wonderful evidences of the hand skill of the strange people of the mysfifti ouk East. These fabrics, which are spun and are the products of obscure and: curious processes, unknpwn and unattainable by the Western nations, like the fabrication of Damascus steel and the camel's hair shawls, are marvels of ingenuity and skill, and they illustrate the poetry of cotton. The most delicate of these fabrics are known,as “Woven air.” It can only be made early in the mornings and the even ings, when the air is full of moisture and the dew on the grass. The processes by which it is woven are kept secret, and the people who do the work are compel!? ed first to go through a long course of training and initiation. Their delicate wares are of such ethereal texture as to be almost invisible, and yet they are so en during that they will bear washing and wear in a most wonderful manner; this precious stuff is monopolized for the nse of the ladies of the Oriental haaroms, and it is said to be worth hundreds of dollars per yard. The girl who gets married on the 29th of February and thinks she's smart, wont feel as proud of the job when she comes to want to celabrate tin and crystal and silver weddings.
