THE SUNJ
1577. NEW YORK. 1577.
The diflereut editions of The Sun during
the next year will he the same as during the
year that has just passed. The daily edition
will oil week days lie a sheet of four pages,
and on .Sundays a sheet of eight pages, or oil
broad columns; while the weekly edition
will I).' a sheet of eight pages of the same
dimensions and character that are already
familiar to our friends.
The .Sun will continue to he the strenuous
advocate of reform and 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 by the people and for
the people, as opposed to government by
frauds in the ballot-box audio.the counting
of votes, enforced by military violence. It
will endeavor to supply its readers- -a body
now not far from a million of souls with
flic most careful, complete and trustworthy
accounts of current events, and will employ
for this purpose a numeious and carefully
selected staff of reporters and correspond
ents. Its reports from Washington, espe
cially, will lie full, accurate and fearless*
and it will doubtless continue to deserve
and enjoy the hatred of those who thrive by
plundering the 'Treasury or hv usurping
what the law does net give them, while it
will endeavor to merit the confidence of the
public by defending the rights of the.people
against tire encroachments of unjustified
power.
The p'ficc rif the daily Sun will he 55 cents
a month or $6.50 a year, post paid, or with
, tic: Nun day edition $7.70 a year. ~
The .Sunday edition alone, eight pages,
:$1.20 a year, postpaid.
The Weekly Son, eight pages.of 56broad
.columns, will he furnished during 1877 af
the rate of $1 a year, post paid.
The benefit of this large reduction from
the previous rate for th^ Weekly can he
enjoyed by individual without
the necessity rtf making up (dubs. At.the
same time, if tiny of oilr friends choose to
aid in extending onr circulation, we shall he
grateful to them, and every curb person who
sends us ten or more sutißcribers from one
place will he entitled to one copy of the
papef for himself without charge. At one
dollar a year, postage paid, the expense? ql
paper and printing are barely repaid; and,
considering the srze of the sheet and the
quality of its contents, we are confident the
people will consider The Weekly .Sun the
cheapest newspaper published in the world,
and we trtlst also one of the very best.

THE PIRATE.
NUMIIEIt 11.
My dear mother whilst living (for
angels have long since borne her pure
spirit to realms of bliss) was a Chris
tian inevely Sense of the word, or at
least tried to bo, both practically and
profeasidhally, and took great pains
to inculcate the truths and divine
precepts ot religion into my juvenile
mittd; also, ,the ijecessity of feiyidg
upon Providence for aid in times of
spiritual or personal danger. Whether
it was those teachings that gave me
in after years a confidence (if I may
so express it) beyond myself, or
whether it la a part and parcel of iny
nature, I am not positively prepared
to say} but coming events will cast
their shadows before them, and the
anticipation often proves worse than
tho calamity. But, with regard to
myself, I can watch their coming,
especially of a serious nature, with
almost stoical indifference. Ht. Paul
says: “Sufficient unto the day is the
evil thereof.” I perfectly agree with
him and adopt his saying for my
motto, and I may truthfully assert
that I have faced death upon several
occasions, blit could never realize bis
close proximity to me.
The circumstance I ate about to
narrate occurred in tho year of grace
1835 or ’36, for as I am writing from
memory and have a poor recollection
of dates, I cannot speak positively to
the exact year.
We had been to the island of St.
Vincent, one of the most beautiful
and picturesque of the West India
group, then in a high state of cultiva
tiou and noted for the fertility of its
soil. Sugar constituted our main
cargo, molasses and rum making up
the complement. Tho genial friend
ship and unwearied hospitality of the
inhabitants of Kingston will ever be
remembered with pleasure, while the
regrets we experienced iu preparing
for our departure from the pleasant
town and beautiful bay upon which
it is situated are passed and gone
forever,
Again tinder Way, we passed so
close to the islands of Montserrat, St.
Kits, St. Lucia and Martinique, that
several of the inhabitants came off in
boats to visit and bid us bon voyage.
From these we made our way across
the Carribean Sea, and was soon
again on the broad Atlantic.
Tho weather being moderate, breeze
steady and sea light, we did not make
rapid progress on the. homeward
passage, seven to eight nets being
the greatest speed to which wo had
attained. We could reach nine and
a half with a good topsail breeze, but
!it was a great effort and rarely ac
complished, What was lost in speod
was supposed to be more than coun
terbalanced by tho freight. The
Clinper Ago had only commenced
when speed was to take precedence
of capacity.
| Tims bruising our tvay thrpugh the
I watery element, the limp’d air our
motive power, nothing occurred to
I mar the harmony of the voyage until
j we made tho latitude of tho Western
! Isles, being in the twentieth degree
lof longitude west from Greenwich,
; when about two hells, or one p. no.,
the topmost sails of a vessel loomed
in tho distance off ohr port or lee
how, her hull and lower sails being
below the water.
The captain scanned her through
the glass as she became plainer to
the view, and after a keen scrutiny
jocularly remarked, “Blfc is either a
yacht or something to Cause nppra
heusion.” At the time he knew not
that his words were prophetic. It
wits not long ere be discovered that
site had hauled up a point or two iu
her course, her object evidently being
to bear up to us. This conduct was
perplexing, ns she wiia Jet too far
distant to make out clearly what she
was or to surmise .lief object in ap
proaching us, as,' from her position
when first seen, our courses appeared
to be nearly parallel with each other.
But as she gradually neared her
sqharo rig, licr rakish masts’ and low
butt produced anything but rt favora
ble impression, and the captain kept
the giass almost constantly upon her
She was evidently cot a government
cruiser, and he eventually discovered
that the lintfds on deck were cot uni
formed nor in proportion to her re
quirement, if she was a yacht, and
suspicion assumed a held upon the
mind which was far ffoin Agreeable.
We had a gentleman, his wife and
child on bojard, passengers. The cap -
tain had been in deep thought for
some bum ifnd meed the poop with
evident uneasiness, when bo suddenly
stopped and called tho steward, to
whom ho gave some instructions and
who disappeared as suddenly ns he
came. Ho talked for some time earn
estly with tho pasdengeiv and he
retired into tho cabin Tho mate
also came in for h’s share of notice,
and immediately disappeared down
the companion, and it was not long
before the carpenter was instructed
to have all the boats stove iu, more or
less, but in a manner to avoid sus
picion. These things led to con
sternation and surmise among the
crew, who were not long in divining
the true character of the craft which
was coming up to ns so rapidly.
We had not altered our course, for
it was useless to attempt to avoid a
vessel with such superior sailing qual
ities, and wh.riH at any point could
overhaul ns hand over hand. As well
might a washing tub, with a band
towel rigged as a sail, attempt to out
run a steamer as we to try to evade
the formidable stranger which had
caused every chock to pale.
The only thing wo could do was to
put the best face wo could upon the
matter and trust to Providence for
our safety, as our only weapons, of
fensive and defensive, were the sheath
knives suspended round the waists of
the sailors. The cook, or as ho is
euphoniously termed on board ship,
“tho doctor,” was the only one in pos
session of fire-arms, and these were in
the shape of pieces of small round
iron, one piec? flattened and turned
at the end, which were used to rake
out the ashes from Lis cooking appa
' ratus and occasionally to stir the fire
when there was a probability of his
being behind time with the mess. A
pistol would have been a novelty at
that particular time. .
We were certainly in an awkward
predicament, and far from enviable
situation; and although I had read
and heard of tho cruelties practiced
by those self-commissioned wretches
even when unopposed iu their diabolic
purposes, and I saw others in despair
around me almost suffering the agony
of death front anticipation, I could
not realize the position nor bring my
self to believe that our case was as
desperate as others seemed to dread.
[7o he Continued
Russian railroads date back to 1838.
Tho first lino opened was from St Pe
tersburg to Zarskoe-Selo and Pawlosk.
The road from Warsaw to Austria
frontier was built immediately after
ward, and then the lino from St. Pe
tersburg to Moscow. In the begin
niug of the present reign enormous
subsidies were offered by tho govern
ment, which resulted in fifty lines
being organized. Twenty of these
were guaranteed to the full amount
of their capital, twenty were partially
guaranteed and ten were built with
outgovernment aid. The total length
of the roads is 20,000 miles, and the
capital of the companies $1,500,000.
The government owns fully fifty per
cent of the entire railroad property.
KateClaxton desires that no further
newspaper allusions be made to her
extraordinary caloric career, although
she must know that tho paragraphs
concerning it have been a highly val
uable advertisment for her. She
writes to tho New York Telegram:
“In every hotel I stop at the weak
minded arm themselves with rope
ladders and lire escapes of every de
scription. At first I was inclined to
laugh at strong men acting in this
| snpersticious, silly’ manner, but the
j persecutions I am subject to are bo
; coming serious. Even newspaper
! editors, who, from their positions
one would bs led to believe possessed
brains yield to. the general fueling,
and I rarely meet with a paper .that
has not an unpleasant allusion to my
self in connection with lire iu its col
umns/’
If we die to-day the sun will shine
as brightly, and the birds will sing as
sweetly to-morrow. Business will not
be suspended a moment, and the great
! mass will not bestow a thought upon
i opr memories. “Js he dead?" will
|bo the gqlemn inquiry of a few, as
they pasg to their work. But no one
will wisp us except our immediate
! connections, apft jn a short time they i
I will forget and tailgh as merrily as .
! when we sat beside them. Thus shall
' we alf, now active in life, pass away.
; Our children crowd closo behind us,
