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 l 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 intelligible shape—the slupe 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 con trolling its daily make-up. It. now has a circulation much larger tliau any other American newspaper, and enjoys an income which is at all times prepared to sp md liberally for the benefit ol its readers. People of all condi tions of life and all ways of thinking buy and road The Sun; and they all derive satisfaction of some sort from its columns, for they keep dn buying and reading it. In its comments on men and affairs, Tiie 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 which may be had by any purchaser Air two cents. It hates injustice and rascality even more tliau 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 iss, instruct the second, and discountenance the third. All lion- st 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 aud about its triends whenever occa sion arises for plain speaking. These are the principles upon which The Sr i will be conducted during the year to come. The year 1880 will bo 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 vigilonce on the part of every citizen who desires to preserve the Gov ernment tlrnt the founders gave us. The debates and acts ofutongress, 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 poll*, was thwarted by an abominable conspir acy, and promoters a fid 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 tt> restore their leader aud 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 those mo mentous questions: The Hun will be on hand to chronicle the facts as they are developed, aud 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 m crea things a steadfast purpose to maintain the rights of the people and the principles of the Constitu tion against all aggressors, The Sun is prejiared 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, is 55 cents a month, or 50 a year: or, including the Sunday paper, an eight-paged sheet of fifty-six columns,the price i- 05 cents a month, or 70 a year, postage paid.

The other day a lady, accompanied by her son, a very small boy, boarded a train at Little Rock, Ark. The woman hud a careworn extension hanging over her face like a tattered veil, and many of the ripid questions asked by t. buy weie answered by unconscious sigh. “Ala,’said the boy, “that man’s like a baby, ain’t he?” pointing to a bald-headed man sitting just in front of them. “Hush.” “Why must I hush?” After a few moments’ silence, “Ma, what’s the matter with that man’s head?” “Hush,l tell you. He’s bald.” “What’s bald?” “His head hasn’t got any huir on it.” “Did it come otf?” ‘ ‘I guess so. “Will mine come off?” “Some time, maybe.” Then I’ll be bald, won’t I?” “Yes." “Will you care?” “Don’t ask so many questions.” Alter another silence, the boy exclaimed “Ma, took at that liy on that man's head.” “If you don’t hush, I'll whip you when we get home.” “Look! ther’s another fly. Look at o’m fight; look at ’em !” “Muame?” said the man, putting aside a newspaper and looking around, “what’s aie mutter with that young hyena?” The woman blushed, stammered out something, and attempted to smooth back the boy’s hair. “One fly, two flies, three flies!” said the boy, innocently, following with eyes a basket of oranges carried by the newsboy “Hero you youug hedge hog !” said the oald-headed man, “if you don’t hush I'll mike the conductor put you oft the train.” The poor woman, not knowing what else to do, boxed tne boy b ears, and then gave him an orange to keep him lrom crying. “iua, have I got some red marks on my head?” “i’ll slap you again if you don’t hush.” “Mister,” said the boy, after a short si lence, “does it hurt to be bald-headed?” “Youngster,” said the man, “it you’ll keep quiet I’ll give you a quarter.” The boy promised aud the money was paid over. The man took his paper and resumed his reading. “This is my bald-headed money.” said the boy: “When I get bald-headed I’m going to give boys money'. ail bald-headed men got money?” The annoyed man threw down his pa per, arose and exclaimed: “Madam, hereafter when you travel leave that young gorilla at home. Hither to I always thought that the, old prophet was very cruel for calling the she bears to kill children for making sport of his head but now lam forced to believe that he lid n Christian act. If your boy had been ,n the crowd he would have died first. If 1 can i lind another seat on this train I’ll and on the cov,-catcher ratljer than re main here.” “i’he bald-headed man is gone,” said rhe boy and the woman leaned back and blew a tired sigh from her lips. The An .active Newt,barer. -That is not the best family paper which is devot ed to.politics or religion, business or tem perance, agriculture of science. The fam ily journal should contain much to attract interest the young. .Such a paper and oniv a paper, will make newspaper-read ers of the young. The family paper should ho so managed as to attract those of small l.terary att dnment, The paper most read by those who read little else may be so managed as to do much good. Fun, spice and gossip are bait with which the shrewd journalist fishes for new read ers. Having -made his journal attrac tive to the largest possible number of readers within his parish, the editorshould next seek to make his paper the means of drawing people, particularly tue young to a higher sphere of thought, and to open to them new fields. Many editors who are true friends of morality, education cul ture, and all that is good nearly destroy the usefulness of their papers by making those papers interesting ■ ly to those who are already moral and educated. Oth ers publish most amusing j i ges which ure without any influence or goon. The gold en mean is between these two extremes. The model paper will furnish food for solid thought, and matter for the gravest and mature, but it will not neglect the triflles. Silent Women.—une oi toe prominent citizens of a suburb of Chicago promised a ladies’ sewing society a certain sum of money for tb- r tie.sury if they could meet fi r one afternoon,each with her own indivi ual work, anil attending strictly to buiness, refrain from speaking one word during the time allotted to society work. Tue great effort was made with success, show ing what persevereLCe and will-power can ian do this rough world. The local pa persays: Though the sighs anil groans were many and heart-rending, the laughter grew quite dangerous; though at times the quiet was quite funeral, again the click of knitting neeuies, the rustle of the fancy work or the winding of yarn would make it quite lively. Only the tongues were still. Some were forced to literally place a marble in their mouths, though strips of court-plaster were on hand,though the bot tle of mucilage was severaljtimes passed a round- taking them altogether, nothing of the kind was required, save the word and the w-ill of the ladies, w ho had pledg ed them themselves to earn, in that, the requisite amount for their tresury. A Hint to Young Husbands. Love and appreciation are to a woman what law and sunshine are to a flower. They brighten her whole life. They make her strong hearted and keen-sighted in everything aflecting the welfare of her home. They enable her to cheer her husband when the cares of life prebs heavily upon him, and to be a very providence to her children. To know that her husband loves her, and is proud oi her, tnat even her faults are looked upon with tenderness; that her face, to one at least, is the fairest face in all the world; that the heart which is to her is the greatest and noblest holds her sacred in its utmost receseses above all all other women, gives strength, and courage, and sweetness, and vivacity which all the wealtn of the world could not bestow. Let a woman’s life be preva ded with such an influence, and her heart and blossom and sweeten and brighten in J perpetual youth. $2.50 A YEAR. Come Ye Sinners. Five thousand immigrants arrived at Castle Garden last Wednesday, and the report is that there isn’t sufficient vessel room to accommodate all who want to embrak. At this rate Europe will soon be a howhng wilderness, and the Uni ted Staten a regular bee hive. It appears that the immigrants largely consist of young tanners and mechanics, who come aw ay to escape the draft, and if that is Ue case European monarhees will soon be left without any visible means of support and crowned heads will be worth about a smiling a dozen, the same as new onions. It won t be fifty years, if America holds her grip, beiore the United States will bo able to whip the allied powers of the old world, and then Mr. Dalrymple’s dream ot a universal republic may be realized. \\ nenever an emigrant comes over to America and finds that ho can get a farm or a business of his own, in a few years, by patient toil, he writes back to friends in the old country, and they get the fid gets and pack up their duds and start. I liousands ot letters go over by every mail, and thousands ot people are get ting the figits all the time. • As the poet has said, “They’ve heard whispers of a country, of a land beyond the bea, where the rich and poor stand equal in the light ot freedom’s day”—and they resolve to have a breath of fresh air it it poisons them. This thing called liberty draws like a mustard plaster, and it will only be a few short fleeting years before an American will have hard work to make himself understood, except in the Iliinl \\aid. But let em comej only see to it that a sound man is at the helm of the ship of state, whose hears beats warm for his native land, and if any piratical im perialist tries to get up a mutiny with any tunny business about a crown, bit him on the head with a handspike, sew him up in a piece ot canvass with a ball and chain around his teet and don’t begrudge a poor little shark a good thing once in a while, even if he does show liis teeth when lie smiles. Nobody can help how he looks, and many an honest heart has beat beneath a ragged coat. Let the oppressed of every nation come, and we will set up a lunch. Come away from those countries w'here jou daren t say that the Czar ought to let you have the religion you want, or that Bismarck’s dog has got a pimple on liis nose, or that Queen Victoria gets more salary than an Irish tenant, without you will he thrown into prison or kicked into the street. Come over here, where you can worship God according to the dictates ot Bob Ingersoll, and where, if you are drafted into the army, you can take the nape of the neck and mop the floor with it. Oh, a free country is decidedly the best. —Beck’s Milwaukee Sun. Three Man-Eaters. Dr. Swan, the surgeon of the Pacific Mail Steamship Colima, which arrived in this port a few days ago from the isthmus reports an incident on the ship worthy of mention. He states that while the Coli ma was lying at Acapulco, on the trip, up sue anchored one day close to the steam ship China. Some ot the hands on the latter baited a hook and caught a shark of the man-eater variety about 15 feet lon*' The shark was pulled up and cut open, I and in the belly wus found a human arm j entire, just as it had been torn by the de vouring monster from the shoulder laere were also found in the maw of the : shark the heel and toes of a human foot Ihe remains had evidently been swallow eii but a short time.
