The different editions of Tin*: Sun during
tlie next year will be the same as during the
year that has just passed. The daily edition
will on week days be a sheet of four pages,
and on .Sundays a sheet of eight pages, or a(>
broad columns; while the weekly edition
will be a sheet of eight pages of the same
dimensions and character that are already
familiar to our friends.
The Nun will continue to be the strenuous
advocate of reform aud retrenchment, and
of the substitution of statesmanship, wis
dom, and integrity for hollow pretence, im
becility, and fraud in the administration of
public affairs. It will contend for the gov
ernment of the people l>y the people and for
the people, as opposed to government by
; frauds in tin- ballot-box and in the counting
of votes, enforced by military violence. It
will endeavor to supply its readers a body
now not far from u million of souls with
the most careful, complete and trustworthy
accounts of current events, and will employ
for this purpose a numeions and carefully
selected staff of reporters and correspond
ents. Its reports from Washington, espe
cially, will Ve full, accurate and fearless,
i and it will doubtless continue to deserve
; and enjoy the hatred of those who thrive by
; plundering the Treasury or by usurping
; what the Law does not give them, while it
will endeavor to merit the confidence of the
I public by defending the rights of the people
against the encroachments of unjustified
power.
The price of the daily Sun will he 5o cents
a mouth or $(. •">() a year, post paid, or with
the .Sunday edition $7.70 a year.
The Sunday edition alone, eight pages,
$1.20 a year, post paid.
The Weekly Sun, eight pages of 56broad
columns, will be furnished during 1877 at
the rate of $1 a year, post paid.
The benefit of this large reduction from
the previous rate for the Weekly can be
enjoyed by individual subscribers without
the necessity of making up clubs. At the
same time, if any of our friends choose to
aid in extending our circulation, we shall be
grateful to them, and every such person who
sends us ten or more subscribers from one
place will be entitled to one copy of the
paper for himself without charge. At one
dollar a year, postage, paid, the expenses oi
paper and printing are barely repaid; and,
considering the size of the sheet and the
quality of its contents, we are confident the
people will consider The Weekly Nun the j
cheapest newspaper published in the world,
and we trust also one of the very best.

A SAILOR’S EXPERIENCE
[Continued from Last UV/. .]
The captain, fully appreciative of
the crew’s exertion, ordered the stew
ard to serve out grog and not to be
sparing of it. It was pure, being
distilled on the owner’s estates for
the especial use of the shipping. 1
mention this because what might bo
considered an over-dose, and which
might be attended with unpleasant
consequences from impure liquor, was
taken on this occasion and produced,
as was desired, an exhilirating effect,
which greatly assisted in the arduous
duties which had yet to follow.
Each man swallowed tho contents
of a filled tumbler, and I, who drew
my allowance every day, though I
never drank it, which was known to
the steward and captain, unhesita
tingly called for my share. The
steward handed me a small quantity,
which I refused. Ho asked if 1 in
tended to drink it myself, to which 1
replied, certainly. He said, “there is
enough there,” holding up the tum
bler, “to make you drunk.” I told
him not to daily, but fill the glass aud
hand it to me.
The captain was standing above
our heads near the poop-rail, aud
could hear every word that passed.
The steward looked up to catch his
: gaze, but his head was averted, aud,
though the friend of my father aud
my guardian at sea, he took no notice
of our dialogue nor of my seemingly
irrational demand. He finally hand
ed me the tumbler filled, saying, “If
it kills you I shall uot consider myself
responsible for tho act.” I drained
j the contents with as much zest as
| though it were milk, and handed the
| glass to the steward, who had turned
pale at my temerity, imagining it
proceeded from bravado aud I would
certainly not drink it all.
! “M3’ God,” says he, “in half an
j hour you’ll be as drunk as a fid-
dler’s .”
I laughed, shook my bead, went
about my duties nor ever felt the 1
slightest inconvenience from my spir
ituous draft, for which I never had
an inclination after save in moderate i
doses and on particular occasions !
Both the captain’s and steward’s at
tention were frequently turned to
ward’s me, as though watching its
effects—the latter expecting to see me
tossed from the dizzy height where [
duty called me into the vast seething ■
pot that was heaving below.
The excitement I was under at the
time no doubt killed the effects of the 1
liquor, which at any other time would
undoubtedly have killed me. The
captain accused me a few days after
of being afraid. I asked in what
[ manner I had demonstrated it. He
j alluded to the liquor. I inquired if
that was all. He thought that was
quite sufficient. I argued the point
; and endeavored to convince him that
j excitement might exist without fear,
and which, though in a rather un
pleasant manner, I proved to my eti
j tire satisfaction a few years since,
i when a friend, who was slightly .
inebriated, misconstrued something
that I bad said and taking it as an
insult, drew liis revolver, cocked it,
! and placed the muzzle within a foot
j of my head, swearing that ho would
do me the especial favor to blow out
my brains. I smiled, told him to put
up his pistol and not act tbo fool. A
bystander knocked up his hand, and
the hall passed harmlessly through ;
: the ceiling. I was excited hut I was !
not afraid, and told him that he had
shown himself a greater fool than 1
took him to he; if he would only lis
ten to reason I could convince him
, of his folly, and ho would repent of
that which ho had attempted to do. 1
An explanation ensued, it was as I
predicted, and from that day he be
came my fastest and sincerest friend;
and I believe that there is now hut
one living witness beside ourselves
who is cognizant of the transaction.
I will now return from this exciting
digression to the storm, which con
tinued with relentless fury, apparent
ly increasing in force each time we
rose to the summit of the lofty wave,
which gently eased ns to the calm
beneath, there to meet with another’s
threatening front, hut which again
raised us as it harmlessly passed, ex
posing us a target to the enraged and
mocking wind. Thus the day passed,
and for three days we were exposed
to these dread surroundings, all hands
being engaged in repairing damages
the vestiges of which had now dis
appeared.
During this time the sun was
shrouded from our sight by the
thick veil which was spread betwixt
sky and sea, and from whence pro
ceeded the dread strife we had wit
nessed, and which, foiled in its mad
efforts to destroy, gradually moder
ated its force, when on the morning
of the fourth day the sun rose in un
wonted splendor, as if in derision of
tlm wild scene which was yet being
enacted beneath his reaplendant rays,
the waters sparkling with brilliant
hues from his reflected brightness,
| and which tho rough winds scattered
with profusion o’er its billowy snr
j face. And the wild sea birds, which
! usually soared aloft or graeefuliy
skimmed the heaving bosom of the
deep blue sea, invisible during the
storm, again gyrated in the buoyant
air, and in sportive evolutions mani
fested their joy at tho gradual decline
of elemental strife. The ship, too, no
(longer the weather-bound object of
j tho storm, was gracefully bounding
; under double-reefed topsails to the
j breeze, which for several days con
tinued with unabated force, and pro
hibited a further increase to her snowy
i wings.
But wind and waves, like objects of
animated creation, tiro from over
! exertion and seem to seek repose for
I tho renovating of their exhausted
! powers, and from this cause we were
tit length permitted to crowd all sail
; and pursue our way’ on the pathless
I waste, rejoicing in the prospect of a
speedy return to those dear ones and
those friends which the elements from
man’s carelessness had nearly de
prived us of ever seeing again.
The memorable words of the cap
tain immediately after we were hove
to, are still impressed upon ruy mem
ory, and which were: “Men, you may
all of you down upon your knees and
thank Providence for your safety; it
was a narrow escape. Had you called
me twenty minutes sooner I would
| have saved you all the trouble you
have gone and still have to go
through.” AYhen informed of the
mate’s conduct his censure knew no
bounds, and that officer was dis
-1 charged immediately on our arrival
in port.
Tho “Pin Back” Press Nowhere.
; Olive Logan’s London Correspondent San
Franc isco Chronicle.
I allude to the “eelskiu” dress, now
the great rage botli in London and
in Paris. In the wildest days of the
tie-back or pin-back mania there nev
er was seen such a tightness in the
matter of skirts as now prevails.
Whether the paucity of folds in the
pin-back in its frouter part, in the
i enormous exuberance of the pannier
or bustle the balance was struck.
But now not only is the bustle a
(thing of horror, hut even the necessa
ry uuderclothing is considered de
trop. To lengthen the waist far be
yond its natural proportions, a stiff
webbing of elastic is fastened to the
stays to the depth of half a foot,
and to this, at first narrow skirts
were buttoned. But even this is
abandoned for another scheme to
i abandon slenderness. Mrs. Swiss
tielm’s much ridiculed chemiloon is
in demand, and garments made in
this way are sold at the furnishing
shops, and patterns of it pass eagerly
from hand to hand among lady
friends.
Some ladies have regular stage
\tights made in thick webbing, aud
over these they wear nothing the outer
dress, underskirts being simulated
by plaited ruffles of white muslin
sown to the edge of the dress, which
is then tied back till the woman
within is shackled almost like a con
vict in a chain gang. No more un
comfortable fashion ever was devised,
for not only are the limbs confided
by the binding dress but the wearer
must constantly concern herself about
condition of the bodice, that portion
being in increased danger of turning
itself up behind, wrong side out like
an umbrella in a wind storm. The
desired effect of youthful slenderness
is generally obtained by the “eelskin,”
but at a good deal of sacrifice of pub
lic ease.
A New York paper tells of a man
in that city who was traveling in
Kansas recently, and received the fol-’
lowing telegram: “Return immedi
ately. You are a father.” On the eve
of his return his lady friends deter
mined to play a joke on him procured
from the neighborhood three other
babies, placed all four in a row on a
bed in a adjoining apartment, and
covered them up, S. arrived embraced
his wife in great delight, and was then
led forth to behold his first-born.
When the cover was raised, an inde
scribable look of surprise spread his
countenance as ho exclaimed, “Great
God ! Did any of them get away ?”
The Norwegin Storthing has crea-1
ted and endowed a special Professor
ship in the National University, to
which the great zoologist, Prof. Sars,
has been called, with an annual sal
ary equivalent to five thousand dol
lars in this country.
