THE SUN FOR 1880.
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 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 keep well abreast of the
age with the 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 ol 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 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 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 whic h 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 chastiso the
first cl iss, instruct the second, and discountenance
the third. Ail 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 18 so will be one in which no patriotic
American can afford to close his eyes t<> jmblic 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 < ov
eminent 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 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 1376
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 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, 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.

Briefest Courtship on Record.
We fund the following remarkable state
ment in a recent publication of Louisville,
Kentucky:
About two years since Sister Mary Funk,
a young lady of most respectable parent
age and a devout Catholic, came to this city
from Frankfort, and was admitted totlie
conventat the corner of Chestnut and Shel
by streets, and was after this a sub-teach
er in the school at the corner of Webster
and Washington streets. Some time after
this there came a request for the services
of sub teacher in the convent at Jefferson
ville, and Miss Funk, still under the di
rection of the prioress accepted the situa
tion, and performed her work well and
faithfully.
During all the time that she was con
nected with the convent here as a lay sis
ter, those associated with her now speak of
her as a true woman, in strictest sense of
the word. She never complained, went
straight forward in the performance of the
duties that were assigned to her, and at
times seemed perfectly satisfied with her
life, and like the members of the noble
sisterhood, she was always ready to sacri
fice her own happiness and comfort, and
if necessary, her life in order to alleviate
the sufferings of those who were in distress.
After some time, and for what reason
no one knows, Miss Funk became dissat
isfied with her life,and concluded to marry.
The more she studied about the charms
of double blessedness the more she was
convinced that she wanted to marry. As
no one knows the secrets of the human
heart, it is only just to say that no one has
no right to criticise her acts. It is said
that she stated to a friend that if she could
find a man who suited her tastes she would
marry him in fifteen minutes. The friend
happened to know a “fifteen-minute man,”
and a man who boars a splendid reputa
tion, and the two people wanted to marry
were introduced, and in just fifteen min
utes a contract to cling together “for bet
ter or worse” was entered into, and the
young sister, with affecting solemnity,
hade an affectionate adieu to the walls of
the convent, hung her veil on the fence,
and launched out on the stage plank that
leads to the good matrimony, and sho is
now gliding down the river of time by
the joyous light of the honeymoon.
The wedding, occured about fifteen days
since. The gentleman she married is
named Hillerbrand, and he has for some
time been employed at Arteburn’s place,
on the Brownsboro road. This is a re
markable case, as a sister who once enters
a convent seldom leaves it, but prefers to
leave the world with its joys, its sorows
and its myriad of sins behind her. Miss
Funk had not entered the final order
of sisterhood, and if she saw proper to
change the life she had started out to lead
with the best of intentions,it certainly is a
credit to her to come out openly and act
her part as she lias, and if she is happy
and contented, the world will find no fault
with her conduct.
A Mexican Woman’s Love.
When a young Mexican woman falls in
love, there is no nonsense about it, no
thought of the consequences, no mercena
ry object in view. The world becomes to
her a scene of enchantment, and the idol
of her affections a seraphic being especial
ly created for her worship. Her absorp
tion into its existence is complete. She
revels in the atmosphere of platonic love as
a lady bird of Paradise revels in the tropi
cal eiteer, and ns innocent, guileless, and
happy. To her, life is a delcious dream,
and only one adored object existing in all
that beautiful dream land. She is Eve in
the Garden of Eden, and woe to the ser
pent (a woman) who dares to intrude within
the sacred realms of that garden. How
subdued and saint-like is the expresion
of her her face; how dove-like the cooing
and the wooing of this happy, happy crea
ture.
Who would think that beneath all this
the tigress lurks, and is only waiting to
spring upon some hated rival? Let her
appear and then the enchantment is ruth
lessly broken,the saintess no longer exists.
All is changed. There is marvelous trans
formation into the machetera, who, mad
dened with jealousy, seeks vengeance up
on her who lias desecrated Eden and rob
bed it of its glory by looking on the idol
with longing eyes. The machetera has no
murder in her heart, no love of shedding
human blood, but with the finer woman
instinct she knows that if she can only
mar the beauty of her rival she has mote
thoroughly murdered her than if she were
dead. To have her victim carry exposed
sens through life is the penalty that alone
must be paid. Watching her opportunity
the machetera springs upon her victim,
and, with uplifted weapon, strikes her up
on the cheeks or delicate, aristrocratic
looking hands, with the skill of a surgeon
who knows how far to go without endan
gering the life of his patient. This accom
plished, the machetera, having satisfied
her terrible jealousy, goes quietly borne,
while the wounded woman is the object
of the most tender and devoted care on
the part of her friends. The affair is not
considered disgraceful, because the pure,
unselfish love which caused it sanctifies
the act of one and the injuries of the other.
Women in the higher circles of life never
indulge in warfare preferring to suffer
in silence, while those in the lower strata
have such surrondings as banish both love
and jealousy, except in the vulgar, sense.
The macheteras are of middle classes, mod
est refined, and industrious girls, and
their worst fault is they love not wisely but
too well.

Truths for Wives.
In domestic happiness the wife’s influ
ence is much greater than the husband’s
for tho one, the first cause—mutual love
and confidence—being granted, the whole
comfort of the household depends upon
trifles more immediately under her jnris
dication. By her management of small
sums her husband’s respectability and
credit are erected or destroyed. No fortune
can stand the constant leakage of extrava
gance and mismanagement; and more is
spent in trifles than women would easily
believe. The one great expense, whatever
it may he, is turned over and carefully
reflected on ere incurred; the income is
prepared to meet it; it is pennies imper
ceptibly sliding away which do mis
chief, and this the wife alone can stop, for
it does not come within a man’s pro
vince There is often an unexpected
triflo to be saved in every house
hold. It is not in economy alono that a
wife’s attention is so necessary, but in
those matters which make a well regula
ted house. An unfinished cruet-stand, a
missing key, a buttonless shirt, a soiled
tablecloth, a mustardpot with its old con
tents sticking about it, arc really nothing
but each can raise an angry word or cause
discomfort. Depend upon it, there is a
great deal of domestic happiness in a well
dressed mutton-chop, or a tidy breakfast
table. Men grow full of beauty, tired of
music, are often too wearied for conversa
tion, however intellectual, hut they can
always appreciate a well swept hearth and
smiling comfort. A woman may love her
husband devotedly- may sacrifice fortune
friends, family, country for him—she may
have the genius of a Sappho, the enchan
ted beauties ot an Arinida; hut—melan
choly fact—if with these she fail to make
her home comfortable, his heart will in
evitably escape her. And women live so
entirely in the affections that without love
their existence is a void. Better submit,
then, to household bisks, however repug
nant they may be to your tastes, than
doom yourself to a loveless home. Wo
men of a higher order of mind will not
run this risk; they know thattheir femi
nine, their domestic, are their first duties.
Death of a Newsboy.
The following description of the death
of u poor newsboy taken from the Detroit
Free Press, is as touching as Dickon’s
death scene of “poor Joe.”
I looked at the boy, whose years num
bered fourteen or fifteen, and saw in the
white face, yellow cheeks and the unearth
ly bright eyes, unmistakable marks of that
dread disease which places its victims be
yond all hope -consumption.
On the table la}’ an old Bible, itsjyel
low pages lying open whero the mother
had finished reading. He was too weak to
cough and the accumulation in his throat
could not be removed.
“Shine yer boots—shine ’em up for a
trickle —morning paper, sir?” came in fee
ble accents from the pillow. “Paper, sir?
Morning paper ? All about the’”
And the sufferer made an effort to clear
his throat, which occafsionea something
like a death rattle.
The mother was on her knees at the
lounge sobbing, and Jack, her other son,
who had brought me to the room, was by
her side crying.
I lifted the wasted frame and moistened
the poor boy’s parched lips and tungue
with water from the cracked glass that
stood on the window sill. He felt the cool
hand on his brow, and his mind came
back to him.
“Oh, I’m so glad you have come home.
I shan’t sell any more papers or black
boots, Jack; but don’t cry. Mother’s been
readin something beter’n newspaper to
me, Jack, and I know where I’m goin’.
“Give my kit to Tom Jones. I owe him
twenty cents. Bring all your money to
mother, Jack. Keep my badge bright,
Jack.
“I wonder if I’ll be ‘papers’ or ‘boots’ —
up there? Good-by mother: good-by,
Jack. See ’em shine. Morning” Jim,
the newsboy, was dead.
Josh Billj.inos on Marriage. —By awl
means, Joe, get married if you have a fair
show. Don’t stand shivering on the hank
hut pitch rite in and stick your head un
der and the shiver is over. Thar ain’t any
more trick in getting married than there
is in eating peanuts. Many a man has
stood shivering on the shore until the riv
er ran out. Don't expect to marry an an
gel; they have all been picked up long a
go. Remember, Joe, you ain't a saint
yourself. Do not marry for beauty exclu
sively, beauty is like ice, awful slipery,
and thaws dreadful easy. Don’t uptrry for
luv, neither, luv is like a cooking stove,
good for nothing when the fuel gives out.
But let the mixture be some beauty becom
ingly dressed, with about 5250 in her
pocket, a gud speller, handy and neat in
her house, plenty of good sense, tuff con
stitution and by-laws, small feet, a light
step; add to this sound teeth and a warm
heart. The mixture will keep in any cli
mate, and will not evaporate. If the cork
happens to be left out the strenght ain’t
gone, Joe. Don’t marry for pedigree unless
it is backed by bank notes. A family with
nothing but pedigree generally lacks suc
cess.
“What,” asks a correspondent, “causes
the hair to come out ?” Before we answer we
must know whether you ere married ar
single. This is important to a true under
ing of the case.
A Beautiful Thought.— God knows
what keys in the human soul to touch, in
order to draw out its sweetest and most
perfect harmonies. These may be the mi
nor strains of sadness and sorrows; they
may be the loftier notes of joy and gladness.
God knows where the melodies of our na
ture are, and what discipline will bring
forth. Some with plaintive tongue must
walk in lowly vales of weary way; others
in loftier hymns sing nothing but joy; but
they all unite with discord or jar as the
ascending anthem of loving and believing
hearts finds its way into chorus of the re
deemed to heaven.
Leap-year in the neighborhood of Bos

The widow of fourteen husbands is now

She expects to gobble up the fifteenth by
