1877. NEW YORK. 1877.
The different editions of The Sun during
the 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 ot eight pages, or 5C>
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 and retrenchment, and
of the substitution of statesmanship, v\L
dom. and integrity for hollow pretence, im- ;
beeility, and fraud in the administration of
, public affairs. It will contend for the gov
! eminent, of the pcopl - bv the people and for
the people, as opposed to government by
frauds in the ballot-box and in tin counting
ofvot.es. enforced by military violence. It
will emit avor to supply its reader ; a body
now not far from a million of souls -with
the most careful, complete and trustworthy
accounts of current events, and will employ '
for this purpose a nttmeious and carefully'
selected stall’ of reporters and correspond- ;
ents. Its reports from Washington, (-spe
cially, will be full, accurate and fearless,
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
public by defending the rights of the people
against the encroachments of unjustified
power.
The price of the daily Sun will be 55 cents
a month or $8.50 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 Week; y Sun, eight pages of 56broad
columns, will be furnished .luring 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 lie 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, i
considering the size of tho sheet and the
quality of its contents, we, are confident the
people will consider The Weekly Nun the
cheapest newspaper published in tho world,
and wo trust also one of the very best.

THE PIRATE.
NUMBER 111.
Among the crew was a native Hi
bernian, who ranked as ordinary sea
man and who, from his natural wit
and quaint remarks, was at any other
time the life of tho company. Pat
evidently saw that something was in
the wind which he was anxious to
discover, and which he could not ex
actly comprehend. Dismay was on
every countenance, and he had caught
the infection from contact and not
from fear; for while all hands and the
cook bestowed escipial attention on
the approaching craft, his curiosity
was raised, and as ho could gain no
satisfaction from others lie sheered
alongside of mo, when tho following
dialogue took place:
"Shure, Misther John, and why
docs the captin kapo spyiu’ yonder
vessel so?”
"I hardly know, Pat, unless she's
so handsome he can’t keep his eye off
her.”
“Tunder! we’ve sane many purtier
vessels than that; she crawls, as yees
Inglish ses, like a snake in tho grass,
and if it wasn’t for her canvas and
masts, yes couldn’t tell there was any
thing but ourselves on the wide, wide
sae.
Then I suppoE if she’s so much
like a snake Pat the skippers keep
ing a bright look out to avoid if pos
sible her fangs.
The crew Misther John same to be
watchin her as much as the Captin,
and look as blue as the milk my
mother gave to the pigs, and the spal
peens won’t spake to me. They calls
me Paddy Green, and says I’m cut
out for a lubber, and I’ll soon wish
I was back in ould Oireland diggin
tutors nenst my father’s cabin, bad
ces to them sez I and what do ye
mane ?
What did they say ?
Bite is it yes, says, sure and they
opened their months, and said noth
in at all, at all.
Well Pat, they couldn’t sav less
but their meaning was that in your
case ignorance is bliss and that your
father’s potato patch would be Para
dise compared with your present lot,
for soon there’ll bo the devil to pay
and no pitch hot.
Ho’y Mother, an is the Civil aboard
that craft ? Sure an if I had some
holy water I’d play tho Civil wid him
sure euuff.
As it is he’ll play the Civil with you
and that before long, so you had bet
ter start on you Aves and Paters,
call upon tho Blessed Virgin and all
tho Holy Saints in your calendar not
forgetting St. Patrick.
St. Path rick was a gintleman Mis
ther John, he kilt all the toads an
frogs an viuiinus snakes in Iris own
connthry, an sure he’s more thau a
match for the old sarpiut any vvhar.
Then he’s your man to stick to.
Man is it. Yes ses. Yes he was a
man an a gintleman, as I’ve jist tould
yes, but now he’s a saint in Heav’n
| sittiu at the feet of the blessed Vir
gin-
What’s he doing there Pat. Is he
courting ?
Holy Mother, what a heretic! Ah !
Mistlier John, yes be affcher qnizziu
me, and make me say thai I’d be sor
ra for. There can’t be much the
matther, an you so full o yer non
sense; but heretic or no heretic Mis
tber John, 1 likes yes, and when yes
git into Purgatory, I’ll get his river
enee, father Murphy to pray’ to St.
Pathrick an lie'll git yes out in a
jiii'y-
Well Pat, you are innocence per
sonified, and like tho generality of
your countrymen von possess an ex
cellent heart but littlo know what
you are talking about, ignorance-aud
superstition dim the brightest intel
lect, nor am I-surprised in your case.
What will you think Pat when I tell,
you that you are in purgatory now,
and that all the saints in your calen
dar can’t got us out. The hand of
Providence alone can help ns, with
out which, in two hours or less, we
j may all be stowed away for safe keep
ing in Davy Jones’s locker.
Why so, Misther John ?
Because uncertainty has given
place to certainty, and yonder ves
j sol is beyond all doubt a pirate. We
have the weather gango of her which
j only' delays, but does not relieve ns
from our destiny. She has the heels
'cf us and lays five points closer to
the wind than we possibly can !
What is a Pirate, Misther John ?
A pirate Pat is one who claims all
tho vessel-i he sees upon the ocean
and captures all ho can, and from
which ho taken all tliat is valuable.—
He then murders tho crew and des
troys the vessel. In plain words lie’s
a sea-robber.
Och! The murthering wretches,
I sacs through the mystery now.—
Shura an I •mist hev bin blind not to
sae it before, but shure Misther John
yes don’t think they’l ciuk this ship
and hero ho made a most significant
motion by drawing his forefinger
across his throat—does ye?
I hope not Pat; but I’m not proph
et enough to foretell their intentions
or our fate. Tho devil is bad enough
in any shape but lie’s worse in the
human than in any other form.
Holy Virgin, that I should hev bin
born for this. I shall never dig taters
nor sae the Ould Cabin agin, and I
shan’t bo drown’t afther all as Mav
ourneen sed I’d be. If I went to sea
och ! one an has it come to this. I’m
to be kilt like a porker, an then
thrown into the sae to be pickled;
this looks mighty like bin kilt an
di'own’n too, which is more thin I
barginod for, for when I first took to
the sae, an I’m half a mind to jump
overboard an save myself,
Which would be like jumping from
the frvtng pan into the fire, without
being in either just now. We’re in a
warm place, but take my advise Pat,
and submit in all patience to the de
cree of Providence, you know not what
He may have in store for you. Re
member that yon are better than ma
ny sparrows; at least such would bo
the opinion of a cannibal if he had
to choose between the two, especially
if iu want of a substantial dinner.
[To he (a'mlhzuetl,]
Turkish Armenia,
In connection with The Constitu
tion’s minute map of the seat of war
in Asia Minor, it should be remember
e<l that the objective point of the
Russians is Erzeroum. When that
is captured it will not be difficult “to
lay at the feet of the czar” the natur
al defences of Turkey in Asia. For
west of Erzeroum the country soon
becomes a plain. All roads in Arme
nia may be said to converge in the
city that the Russians are striving to
capture, and the distances rounda
bout are therefore matters of inter
est.
From Kars to this point is a great
highway of travel; the distance be
tween the two places being about 120
miles. From Bajazid (now in pos
session of the to Erzeroum
there is another great highway; the
distance being about 105 miles.—
From Erivau to Alexandropol (also
in possession of the Russians) there
is one road, distance about 55 miles.
From Alexandropol to Kars, three
roads; distance say 45 miles. From
Alexandropol to Aebalzik, one road;
distance about 80 miles: this place is
also held by the Russians. From
Aebalzik to Ardahan, one road; dis
tance about 45 miles. Ardahan was
in possession of the Turks until a few
days since, when tho Russians cap
tured it. From this place to Karz
and distant some 00 miles is Olti,
which was taken not long since by
the Russians, youth of Kars, about
40 miles, is Kaghizapan, now in pos
session of the Russians; while South
of Kaghizapan some 20 miles, situated
in the mountains, is Topruk-kaleh,
held by the Turks.
Tho distance from the frontier to
Scutari is nearly 1,200 miles—a long
march for an army to make through
a hostile country, when it must cut
loose from any base, the Black Sea
being controlled by the Turks. At
present however, the roads and puses
m the mountains country about Erzo
routn are the engrossing scones of
warlike efforts and these are accu
rately' represented on the map we
published last Sunday morning.
Interested readers should take the
map and fasten it upon a board and
then take some white and black pins
(let the white represent tho Russians
and the black the Turks) and drive
them in the places held by tho con
tending armies. As iho forces change
their places, the pins can be moved.
The map thus furnishes a chess-board
upon which Turkey and Russia are
lighting for empire.
An English lady who is celebrated
in “The Shires” for riding straight
with hounds, has stated that for
across country riding side saddles are
simply ridiculous and that this season
she will ride “masculine fashion.” If
this laby—who by the way is an ex
cellent wife and mother—should
carry out her intention, no doubt
others of her sex will follow her ex
ample and take to riding a-straddle.
The temperance women of Michi
gan, have sent an address to Mrs.
Hayes, in which they say: “We the
temperance women of Michigan, as
sembled in our annual convention
send you greeting in God’3 name,
and bid you remember we are praying
that you may bo tilled with courage
and assisted to the victory, which wo
all desire,”
Chinamen are being imported into
