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. Our rates of subscritions remained unchanged. For the Daily Sun, a four-paged sheet of twenty eight columns, the price by mail, post-paid, 55 cents a month, or 50 a year: or. including the Sunday paper, an eight-paged sheet of fifty-six columns,the price is ||s cents a month, or $7 70 a year, postage paid.

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. Howto Cook a Husband - The first thing to be clone is to catch him. Many good husband is spoiled in cooking. Some wo men keep them constantly in hot water, while others freeze them with conjugal coldness; some smother them with conten tion, and still others keep them in pickle all their lives. These women serve them tongue sauce. Now, it is not to be sup posed that husbands will be tender and good if treated this way, but they are, on the contrary, very delicious when mnn j aged as follows; Get a large jar, called the j jar of carefulness —which all good house | wifes have on hand—place your husband . in it, and place him near the fire of conju ; gal love; let the fire be pretty hot, espe cially let it be clear: above all, let the heat be constant; cover him over with affection; garnish him over with spice of pleasantry, and if you add kisses and other confec tions, let them be accompanied with a sufficient portion of secrecy, mixed with prudence and moderation. $2.50 A YEAR. 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.
