The Sun will deal with the events of the year 1880 in its own fashion, now pretty well under stood by everybody. From January l until Decem ber 3i, 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 iutelligable shape—the .shape that will enable its readers to keep well abreast of tin age with the least unproductive expenditure of time. The greatest in’ -< 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 read The Sv;n; 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 Si n 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 lor 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 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 tss, instruct the second, aud 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 triends 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 lias 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 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 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 tin 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? 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 ns 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 things a steadfast purpose to maintain the rights oi the people and the principles of the Constitu tion against nil aggiiess- vs. To: Sun is prepared to write a truthful, instructive, and at the same time entertaining history of 1880. Our rates of subseritions remained unchanged.

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 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 cnrl at home its columns are consulted for the latest news, the freshest comment, and lor 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 ! In 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 drill of cur rent discussion, its humorous aud 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 id-jA impartially and fully, and to keep its readers inWmed 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.” Rill 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 “(Jncle Remus” has iu preparation a series of negro myth legends, illustrating the folk lore of the old plantation. In very 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 iu any other weekly from a daily office. Its news anil miscellaneous contents are the freshest and its market reports the latest. THE SOUTHERN CULTIVATOR.

They mtinfige things differently in Texas. This is how a fond couple come to an un derstanding, according to one who pre tends to know. He sits on one side of the room in a liig white rocking chair; she on the other side, in a little white oak rock ing chair. A long-eared deer hound is by his side, a basket of sewing by hers. Both the young people rock incessantly. He sighs heavily and looks out of the west window at a myrtle tree; she sighs lightly and gazes out of the east winbow at a tur nip patch. At lasts he remarks: “This is might v good weather for cotton picking.” “’Tin that,” the lady responds, “if we only had any to pick.” The rocking continues. “Wlial's your dog’s name ?” “Coony !” Another sigh-broken still ness. “What’s he good for ?” “What's he good for?” says he abstract edly. “Your dog, Coony.” “For Fetching ’possums.” Silence for half an hour. “Helooks like a deer hound.” “Who looks like a deerhound?” “Coony.” “11 ■ is, he's sort o’ hellowsed, an’ gctlii ■' old n’ slow, an’ he ain’t no ’count on a cold trail.” In the quirt ton minutes that ensues sir tak* *• -w.i stit“h' >• in 1 er quilt, a " r geous affair made after the patent called “Rose of Sharon.” “Your mu raising many chickens?” “Forty odd.” The more rocking, and somehow the big rocking chair and the little rocking chair are jammed fide by side, and rocking is impossible. ,‘Makin’ quilts?” “Yes,” she replied, brightening up, for she is great on quilts. “I’ve just finished a gorgeous ‘Eagle of Brazil, a ‘S itin Sun,’ and a ‘Nation’s Pride.’ Have you ever saw the ‘Rose of the Prairie ?’ ” “No.” More silence. Then he says: “Do you love cabbage?” “I do that.” Presently his hand is accidentally placed on burs, of which she does not seem to be. at all aware. Then he suddenly says: “Pse a great mind to bite you,” “What have you a great mind to bit me for?” “Ease you won’t have me.” “Kase you ain’t axed ine.” “Well, now, 1 nx you’” “Then now I has you.” Coony dreams lie hears a sound of kiss ing, and the next day the young man goes after a marriage license.

He slipped np close to her side, (took a big sweet potato out of his pocket and wiped it carefully on hi’s sleeve. “Well, less,' she replied, gnawing at the raw potato. Ten minutes of dead silence. Then from another pocket he handed a bundle tied up in a handkerchief. “(Jner.v: what I've got,”said he archly.

In the “good old days" at the Ilayniar ket Theatre they were running the musi cal farce of “No Song, No Supper,” and the exigencies of the piece required a real leg of mutton every night, which, accord ing to the law of “property,” or rather the “property man’s law” in a theatre, went after each performance almost untouched to the official named. But the "flymen” perched up a loft did not like this which occurred night after night -to their growing dissatisfaction; for they, too,had wives and tamilieH to whom a boiled leg of mutton tree of charge would have been a thing to be remembi red. So they hit upon a plan, and one night Mr. Diliiam Farren, who had the carving of the aforesaid leg, was solicited to fix a hook that would’be let down from the “flies into the mutton, and leave rest to them. Farren, always ready for a practical joke, consented at once; and as the scone waH coming to a termina tion, deftly fastened the hook into the leg and “left the rest to them.” As the scene shifters were preparing to “close in,” and the property man stood at the wings ready to seize on his perquisite, th* leg of mut ton was seen slowly to ascend without any visible agency. The audience laughed, my lather (who, uk Endless, was watching the maneuver from his sack) laughed, too, and the employes all gave vent to their feelings in ill-r.urprested merriment—all save the proju rfy man, who remained mis erably serious, and gazed at his fast de parting supper with a woe begone ooun t--nance. Suddenly when the scene was about c-10--.-d in, the hook, which Farren had unfortunatly only fastened in the fat, give way, and down came the much cov et'd mutton on the dish with a terrific splash. The audience now roared; tho employ s roared; Farren at the table and mv father in the sack roared; and as the "f'ats hid the unrehearsed tableau from view, the now delighted property-man ce’u A on to the stage, and fiecurring his ;11-treat >1 supper, joined in the General roar. Our “fly” fishers were never known to try a “hook” again. The Queen of Spain's rooms at Madrid b<en exquist- ly appointed.
