THE SUN.
1877. NEW iOEK. 18J 7.
The different editions of Tan Sox during
tlie next year will be the simo as during the
year that has just passed. The daily edition
will on week days boa sheet of four pages,
and on -Sundays a sheet of eight pages, or 5iJ
broad columns; while the weekly edition !
will be a sln.-et of eight pages of the same
dimensions and character that are already I
familiar to our friends.
Tiie .Sun will continue to be the strenuous.’
| advocate of reform and retrenchment, and
lof tlie substitution of statesmanship, wis- ;
(lorn, and int grity for hollow pretence, im
becility, and fraud in the administration of
public affairs. It will contend for the gov
ernment of tin' peopkby the people and for
the people, as opposed to government by
frauds in the half 1-Im -x and in tlie counting
of votes, enforced by military violence. It
will endeavor to supply iis readers a body
now not far from a million of souls—with
the most caivfnl, complete and trustworthy
accounts of current events, and will employ
for this purpose a nuineious and carefully
selected stall’ of reporters and correspond
ents. Its report:; from Washington espe
cially, will be full, accurate and i'earL ;s.
and it will doubtless continue to cl .'.serve
and enjoy the hatred ot 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 £(VSO a year, post paid, or with
the .Sunday edition #7.70 a year.
The iS'unday edition alone, eight pages,
SI. 20 a \ e ir, post paid.
The Weekr.Y Sun, eight pages of 50 broad I
columns, will be furnished during 1577 at j
the rat 6ofSI a year, post j id.
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 thr-.n, and every such person who
send us ten or more subscribers from one
place will bo out died to one copy of (he
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 consul*, r The Weekly Svs the
cheapest newspaper published in the world,
and we trust also one of the very best.

FLORIDA ITEMS.
Watermelons arc ripe in Alachua
county.
Crops in South Florida are report
ed iu a most prosperous condition.
The citizens of St. Augustine eon
plate celebrating the glorious Fourth
of July.
Cedar logs are shipped in large
quantities from St. Augustine to Phil
adelphia.
The crops in the interior portion of
the State are rapidly improving since
the rains of last week.
On the 20th of May last, Mr. Al
bert Riera; of Pensacola, gathered
ripe poaches from his orchard.
The Chicago Academy of Sciouco
is to bo presented with a hugo speci
men of Devil Fish from Punta Rassa.
Tiie Postmaster-General lias dis
continued the mail route between
Quincy, Fla., and Bainbridge, Geor
gia.
Jackson county lias been visited
with drought. A short corn crop is
the result; but probably the cotton
crop will compensate for it.
Jail deliveries in the middle coun
ties *of Florida occur as frequently al
most as under radical sheriffs. The
jails evidently need to be made more
secure.
W T o learn tlurt an excursion party
from Chicago, will visit Florida soon.
Wo would like for them to return by
way of Quitman, and take a look-at
Brooks county lands.
A daring attempt was made to
burn the Norwood House, in Fernan
dina, a few days ago. Some villain
saturated the contents of three bu
reau drawers with kerosine oil, and
then set tire to them.
In Putnam county, the front yards
are turned into orange groves. Or
ange trees are planted in them in
stead of other shade trees. In the
Fail and Winter, when the fruit is
ripe tho trees look beautiful.
A statute law of Florida provides
that any man who has lost an arm,
or a leg, no matter how, or when, or |
from what cause, cannot bo taxed for j
carrying on any business be may en-
j gage in, except the liquor business.
A citizen of Manatee county, South
Florida, has an orange grove of
eighty trees. Tie realized $1,300
clear profit from it the past season.
Wo hope this statement will give no
one in this section the orange fever,
so bad as to induce to emigrate to
that section.
Capt. W. A. Turner, of Columbia
count}’, residing tcu miles North of
Lake City, has discovered upon his
plantation, a white substance resem
bhng chalk, or plaster, when dried.
If it is worth utilizing, good brick
might be made from it. It is worth
an experiment.
The Missionary box in the M. E,
Church, South, at Fornandina, was
robbed of its contents—something
less Ilian a dollar, one day last week.
Fortunately, the pastor, the Kev. U.
Sinclair Bird, had taken out tho
amount in it on the day before the
Sunday services, which amounted to
nearly five dollars. So Sunday’s con
tribution was all that tho thief pur
loined.
Hayes has rewarded the two radi
cals, who composed the majority of
tho Florida Returning' Board, with
the Radical ex-Govcrnor, Stearns
thrown in.
News from Washington states that
Comptroller Cowgill, who had been
regarded by tho citizens of Tallahas
see favorably, and considered an up
right man; but who showed his clo
ven foot iu the right time to show to
tho people of tho Nation what man
ner of man a Radical is; has received
un appointment in tiro Treasury De
partment of tho Government. AA’e
thought perhaps that AV. E. Chandler
through Old Zaek. had shelled out a
sufficient sura to beep him from want;
but the truth is, Cowgill has a nice lit
tle farm in Putnam county, and that
pure atmosphere, as well as the coun
tenances of the citizeus of that coun
ty, ho could not brook; therefore he
prefers to livo near his Fraudulency,
and draw his pay as one of John
Sherman’s pets.
Hayes should be thanked for one
thing, however; ho did tho people of
Florida a great -favor in an indirect
manner, by rad-

TIIE PIRATE.
NUMBER IV.
“An’ what is a kannibal, Misther
John ?’’
“A cannibal, Fat, is a savage in tho
shape of a man, who eats his fcllow
umn.”
“Fai.x, an’ I hope there’s no kan
nibals on that cruft, for I’d like to die
naturally and be buried dacently of I
can; but the idea of bein’ kilt an’
roasted &n’ stowed away in slcb a
manner is cantrary to me notions of
dacency, an’ a quare Iliad o' burial,
shure. An’ me frinds couldn’t wake
mo while I’m stalkin’ about in an
other feller’s innards! I’ve bin iii a
stow often, an’ bin done brown more
nor once; but I don’t belave I was
ever roasted an’ et, an’ by fet. Patli
rick, I don’t intend tc bo ! Tell me,
Misther John, is it ves faith iu Provi
dence, as yc calls it, or a divil-me-care
kind o’ spirit that makes yc diff’rcnt
from the rest ? for they look as I
feel —that’s half dead already.”
“Yes, Pat, I have great faith in
Providence, and a feeling of intuition
which I can neither control nor ex
press. llotvcver, one part of my
philosophy is to keep up my spirits
| under all circumstances, to nurture
hope, and never give way to despair.
I have found that it saves much suf
fering as well as annoyance, both of
which are often unnecessarily en
dured.”
“Faix, an’ I agree wid jo. It’s
nonsense for a man to kill himself
before his time comes, an’ me thinks,
like yeself, it’s best to live an’ sae the
ind on’t, aven if he’s kilt in the at
tempt.”
The report of a cannon nearly took
Pat off his feet, as he shouted:
“The murtherin’ rascals are shootin’
at us, an’ I’m kilt already! Och!
Mistber John, I’m kilt, an’ Mavour
neeu don’t know it!”
The look and the attitude were too
ludicrous as be stood holding on to n
belaying pin like grim death to a
soger. I spurted outright, to the
utter astonishment of my friend, and
it was some time before I could say:
“Why, Pat, the pirates have a pro
verb that says, ‘Dead men tell no
tales.’ It appears that you are an
exception, and they’ll be puzzled to
know what to do with you. You’re
the first dead man I ever heard speak,
and if our friends over the way can
be persuaded of the fact of your death
they will he inclined to think that
killing’s no murder ! Keep your death
to yourself, man, and don’t Ist them
know it, or they’ll head you up in a
cask of rum to keep you from spiling
until they can present you to the
British or Barnum’s Museum as a
most unnatural curiosity.”
Here our dialogue was cut short
for a time; the firing of the gun was a
signal for us to back our main yard,
which, after clewing up the top-gal-
hint sails, was done.
My curiosity was excited now more
than at any other period of the chase,
for tho approaching vessel could be
overhauled by the naked eyo. She
was certainly a beautiful craft, being
perfect in model and spars, which
each succeeding vessel acknowledged
in tho passage of tho wedged-shaped
bow, against which resistance was
useless—the cloven billows passing
swiftly by her graceful lines, nor
stopped to hug her counter, so clean
and faultless was her run.
Her rig was brigantine; a perfect
cloud of canvas enshrouded her lofty
spars, her main-mast raking to such
extent as to bring tho main truck
nearly perpendicular with, whilst the
| main boom extended far over the taf
frail.
IJut, notwithstanding her mathe
matical proportions, which at any
other time and place would have ex
cited the admiration of the expe
rienced seamen, there was a sloven
liness or dinginess in her appearance
denoting a lack of pride, which would
be strictly reprehensible in any other
than its present commander, and
which shocked tho criticism of the
observer and gave rise to feelings of
disgust and regret that such a noble
craft should bo subject to wretches
who could not appreciate, only as
regarded their safety, tho masterpiece
of art which was subservient to then
will and made instrumental to their
crimes, but which should have been
engaged iu a better cause.
Some of the crow could also bo dis
tinguished—%dark and motly crowd,
whosoJcjiurc'T'iYpuld have told wlpytf
whiqji’ went up to Vb<*
fue discliatgo. of the,
revealed. They weffWhfcen-
iards, or moro properly, as wo after
wards discovered, a mixed crew, con
sisting of the scum of almost every
nationality.
On she came, as if eager to accom
plish her purpose, though herself
ignorant of what that purpose might
be; and I now for tho first time ob
served the cause of the captain’s order
to stave in our boats, which was to
prevent communication by this means,
for the approaching vessel had none
save one, which was stowed amid
ships between tho fore and main
masts. Could they have been washed
away ? or what could.be the causa of
this singular circumstance, for the
sea that could clear away the quarter
boats would possess, also, the power
to sweep away tho pinnace. Unex
pectedly I had an opportunity of
witnessing for . -If, and drawing
my own conclu n. .
By lying to w, Jd placed ourselves
in a raking pos n, but felt no un
easiness on this head, as he had un-
hesitatingly obeyed orders and shown
no signs of resistance. They now be
gan to shorten sail, and as they bore
up abreast cf ns we were hailed as
usual, in good English, with:
“Ship ahoy!”
“Halloa!”
“What ship is that ?”
“Tho ‘Catharine of London.’ ”
“Where from ?”
“The West Indies.”
“Where bound?”
“London. What vessel is that ?”
“Tho ‘Santa Maria.’”
“Where bound ?”
“No matter; send your boats on
board.”
“They’re leaky, and can hardly
reach your craft.”
“Tr y them, and be in a hurry. I’m
not used to have my orders disobeyed
even by strangers.”
The captain saw that further re
monstrance was useless, and sink or
swim, an attempt must be made to
reach those unceremonious and by no
means welcome intruders. The gig
was unlashcd, the tackles manned,
and she descended from tho davits
with two hands into the sea, the water
flowing in rapidly through the stave.
A bucket was handed down and con
tinued baling was the result. Tho
second mate and two hands volun
teered to join those alongside, and
before the boat could push off I had
watched my chance to slip over the
side unobserved, and ere the captain
i'_ ’ 1 ’
i was aware, I was on my way to visit
the stranger. I pretty well guessed
but cared little for tho irritation he
would feel at my temerity.
We were no sooner alongside of
our unpleasant companion than we
were ordered on deck. I was the last
on board. I doffed my hat to tho
captain and passed the compliments
ot the day without any apparent con
fusion. He returned the courtesy
and smiled. I studied his countenance
closely, to discover if irony was mark
ed in its expression. Feeling relieved
on this score, I maintained confidence
and made myself at home, whether I
felt so or not, being careful to avoid
effrontery.
The second mate and the four hands
of our crew were as stationary at the
gangway where they landed as statues,
and while they never expected to
board their own ship again, they
would gladly have hailed mo if they
dared to take up a position near
them, as they expected every moment
to sec me knifed or bulleted, forget
ing in their kind consideration that it
mattered little were a fellow dropped
when his time had come.
[To be Continued, j
Thc first of tho drink-registering
apparatuses, which anew law says
must be used in all Virginia barrooms,
has been put in operation iu Rich
mond. It is a wooden box, and about
a cubic foot in size. On one side is a
crank, and ou another dials like
those of a gas meter. Tho barkeeper
turns the crank once round at every
sale of a drink, a bell strikes, and the
dial registers one. The object of tho
device is to determino the amount of
tax to be collected, at tho rate ot one
cent on every drink. Although a heavy
line may be imposed for neglect to
nso these machines properly, or for
tampering with them in any way—-
and there are officers whose duty is
to detect such offenses—the belief is
that they will not answer the purpose,
beeauo drinkers will generally connive
at violations of the law.
