"THE" S UN .
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 of eight pages, or 5(5
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 .Sun will continue to lie 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 an 1 for
the people, as opposed to government by
frauds in the 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 a million of souls—with
the 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 be full, accurate and fearless,
and it will doubtless continue to and. serve
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 $(5.50 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.
'Che Weeki y Sun, eight pages of 50 broad
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 mailing up clubs. At the
same time, if any of our friends choose to
aid-iu extending our circulation, wo shall be
grateful to them, and every such person who
sends us ten or more subscribers from one
place will lie entitled ty 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 arc confident the
people will consider Tiie Weekly .Sun the
cheapest newspaper published in the world,
and we trust also one of the very best.

Hon. G. P. Raney has decided that
under the statute of 1877, witnesses
and jurors in attendance on the Cir
cuit Courts of the State are not en

the court expenses, but not enough
to make any marked decrease upon
the expenditures of the government.
One dollar a day for attendance.
We learn tliat the Debating Socie
ty of Madison contemplate inviting
the Quitman Debating Society to bo
present at the 4th of July festivities,
which we have made mention of sev

We suppose Capt. Weller will pa
rade his company on tho occasion,
though not so advised.
Capt. Inglis, of Madison, planted
an old, worn out field, in Wheat, dur
ing the second week in January last,
and the yield was twenty-three and
one-quarier bushels per acre. The
weight fifty-nine pounds to the bush
el. At least one-quarter of tho wheat
was lost by its being cut and gather
ed. Cotton seed was used as a fer
tilizer, ton dollars worth to the acre.
Tho seed will bo offered for sale.
If farmers will plant wheat, ho will
purchase a mill and tho necessary
machinery, to grind and bolt their
ciops. It will prove remunerative to
all interested, and “ corners” on flour
will not hurt worth a cent. The un
bolted, if extensively used, will cause
dyspepsia and stomachic disorders to
be unknown, and physio will
then bo thrown to tho dogs, who will
exhibit too much sagacity to use it.

NUMBER VI.
It was not long before llie boat
pushed off from tho ship again. It was
evident that an altercation was taking
place between the boat’s crow and
the boatswain, and she did not pro
ceed far ore they mutined and laid
upon their oars. Angry words and
gesticulations were passing. I looked
at our men to see if they compre
hended what was being enacted in
the boat, and perceived they had
bleached considerably within a very
few minutes.
The boatswain appeared excited,
and standing up in the stern shoots,
pointed to tho craft, urging them to
givo way to their own vessel, which
they still refused to do, when ho put
his hands to his belt and drew there
from a brace of persuasives in the
shapo of pistols, which ho cocked,
and one of which he pointed at the
head of the stroke oar.
The effect was electric; the oar
dipped into tho water, tho others fol
lowed, and it was not long ere they
were alongside with a cask of Hour
and another of water, which being
taken out, tho hands—save one who
stayed in to bale—came on board.
The boatswain handed up a basket
containing a dozen bottles of ale and
porter, which he presented to his
captain with my captain’s compli
ments, saying that ho was sorry he
had nothing better to offer him.
I was gratified to observe that the
captain received the same with a satis
fied air, when ho called a boy from
the cabin and submitted the basket to
his care, at tho same time giving him
an order in Spanish, which I did not
distinctly understand. It was not
long, however, before ho returned,
jug and glass in hand, and distrib
uted a liberal allowance of grog to the
hands, but which I courteously re
fused, when the captain accosted me
again:
“Juan, does your captain smoko ?”
“Occasionally, sir.”
He disappeared in the cabin and
returned shortly with a box of cigars,
saying:
“Present this with my compliments
to your captain, and tell him that I
regret that I have nothing better to
offer him. He will find them good
Havana’s, and I hope his sentiments
may bo favorable towards me while
enjoying them.”
“I do not dcubt it, sir !”
His eyes flashed and his piercing
gaze searched me thoroughly. Being
satisfied with the result ho asked:
“Shall I have your good wishes too,
Juan ?”
“Not only my good wishes, sir, but
my prayers!”
“What for —my speedy dissolu
tion ?”
“No, sir; your reformation.”
This was said so quickly and with
such earnestness as to convince him
of my sincerity. He smiled a sickly j
smile, which, subsiding, gave place to
sadness.
“You are a smart lad, Juan. If
you were with mo I’d make a man of
you. I regret to part with you, but—”
Here bo walked off, breaking into
Spanish again. His sentence con
cluded, he turned and said:
“You can now go on board your
own ship, Juan, and take your hands
with you. Good-bye ! and forget not
to remember me in your prayers.”
I assured him he would not be for
gotten and hastened over the vessel’s
side, relieving the hand iu the boat—
the second mate and men following.
We pushed oil’, and cautioning the
crew against too much haste, with
easy and regular strokes wo pulled to
the side of our own ship, dropping
the boat to tbo quarter, when the
tackles were hooked on and she was
soon swinging again at her own
davits.
To a person inexperienced in hu
man nature, all danger of further in
terruption iu our voyage from this
source would be considered passed;
but the utmost caution was necessary
and the slightest act that would excite
suspicion had to bo carefully watched
aud avoided. Tho demonstration in
the boat on its last return trip mani
fested dissatisfaction on the part of
the crew, and showed that our posi
tion was still precarious. Tho cap
tain knew ho had a friend iu the
boatswain, and I considered that I
had mado a friend of the iiratc skip
per; but we knew not what repre
sentations might bo made to him by
tho mutiuers, nor tho effect they
Would have upon his susceptible na-
ture. We therefore waited his mo ?e
--monts with anxiety, nor attempted to
fall off to tho wind until ho had
trimmed his sails and his swift craft
was again bending to tho breeze.
Our top-gallaut sails, which were
merely clewed up when the signal
was given to heave to, had been sub
sequently furled, nor did wo attempt
to spead them again when wo re
sumed our course, as Wo endeavored
to act ns though nothing extraordin
ary had transpired.
Thus wo continued until darkness
set in, when every inch of canvass
was crowded to increase tho distance
between us; and when daylight broke
we had tho extreme satisfaction to
find that wo were alone. Then every
heart beat free and throbbed with
grateful emotions at our unexpected
and extraordinary escape. It was in
deed fortunate for us that wo had
nothing on board to excite their cu
pidity, as in all probability there
would not have been ono left to tell
the tale, and our loss would have
been one of those unfathomable mys
teries which the depths of tho ocean
never reveal.
[To be Continued, 1
Why Fresh Water Fish Cannot
Live in Salt Water.
Ic is well known that fresh water
I fish cannot live in salt water, and
| vice versa-, and it has been supposed
i that the reason exists in some poison
ous effect which tho inappropriate
water exerted. Mr. Paul Bert has
recently been investigating this sub
ject, and his conclusion is that the
breath of the creature is not due to
any toxic action, but ip simply a phe
nomenon of osmosis or transmission
of fluids through the membranes. In
order to prove this, it is only neces
sary to weigh the auimal before and
after tho experiment. A frog, for ex
ample, plunged in sea water loses one
third its weight. If only the foot of
the frog be introduced, the blood glo
bules can bo seen to leave the vessels
and distribute themselves under the
skin. If an animal be taken, the skin
of which is not entirely osmotic, the
same phenomena occurs in the bron
chial system.
There are certain fish, however,
which exist sometimes in salt, some
times in fresh water, changing their
habits in different periods of life or of
the year. It therefore, in view of the
above, becomes interesting to see how
M. Bert applies bis discovery to such
j apparent exceptions to the general
| rule. A fresh water salmon, for in
strnce, plunged abruptly in sea water,
resists the effect longer than other
fresh water fishes; but he dies within
five or six hours. This shows, ac
cording to M. Bert, that the fish never
proceed suddenly from fresh to salt
water, but enter brackish water where
the tide ebbs and flows, and live there
a sufficient time to habituate them
selves to the change. This accounts
for the frequent discovery of large
numbers of the migratory fish in the
vicinity of mouths of rivers which
they ascend.
A fresh water eel, plunged in salt
weter, does not seem to be affected.
But investigating the peculiarities of
this species M. Bert was led to a
wrong conclusion, which may bo cited
to show how easy it is, often by pure
accident, to reach an erroneous de
terminatian in laboratory experiment
ing. After having himself placed sev
eral fresn water eels in salt water, he
found as already stated, that thoy
remained alive and unharmed. Wish
ing to continue the experiments, he
directed Lis assistant to intro
duce the fish and report re
sults. To his surprise tho eels
then persistently died after a three
or four hours’ sojourn in the salt
water, and long search failed to dis
cover the reason why it was th'at when
M. Bert placed them in tho tanks
they lived, while when the assistant
did so they perished. Finally, M.
Bert found that the assistant, doubt
less on account of tho slipperiness of
the cels, lifted them with a piece of
cloth in his hand. The cloth rubbed
off a little of the original slime of the
animal, which protected it from the
salt water. Osmosis then occurred in
tho denuded portion, and the eel
eventually died.
Tho converse experiment, inserting
soa fish in fresh water, produced
analogus results. The gills were tho
seat of alterations, the same as those
noted in fresh water fish placed in salt
water. M. Bert also observed that
the life of the sea fish could be pro
longed by adding salt to fresh water,
thus adding further confirmation to
his theory —Scientific American.
The Melon Borer.— The agricul
tural editor of the Mobile Register
says he saved his squashes and melons
last year by simply placing a piece of
newspaper under each, on the ground.
Never hoard of its being tried before,
and thoicforo cannot say that it will
work every time, but it succeeded with
us last year as our squashes and mel
ons that were not so protected wore
invariably destroyed.
According to some Western papers
anew breed of fowls have been intro
duced into Ohio, called tho Joe Brad
ley or Aliunde breed. The hens lay

ference, but easily addled.
