"the sun.
IST JE W “ST ORK / 18 82
The Sun for 18S2 will make its fifteenth
annual revolution under the present man
agement, shining, as always, for all, big
and little, mean and gracious, contented
and unhappy, Republican and Democratic,
depraved and virtuous, intelligent and
obtuse. The Sun's light is for mankind
and womankind of every sort; but its ge
nial warmth is for the good, while it pours
hot discomfort on the blistering b&oKS of
the persistently wicked.
The Sun of 1S(!8 was a newspaper of a
new kind. It discarded many of the
forms, and a multitude of the superfluous
words and phrases of ancient journalism.
It undertook to report in a fresh, succinct,
unconventional way all the news of the
world, omitting no event of human inter
est, and commenting upon affairs with the
fearlessness of absolute independence.
The success of this experiment was the
success of The Sun. It effected a per
manent change in the style of Aineiican
newspapers. Every important journal
established in this country in the dozen
years past has been modelled after The
Sun. Every important journal already
existing has been modified and bettered
by the force of The Sun's example.
The Sun of 1882 will be the same out
spoken, truth-telling, and interesting
newspaper.
By a liberal use of the means which an
abundant prosperity affords, we shall
make it better than ever before.
We shall print all the news, putting it
into readable shape, and measuring its
importance, not by the traditional yard
stick. but by its real interest to the peo
ple. Distance from Printing Douse Square
is not the lirst consideration with The
Sun. Whenever anything happens worth
reporting we get the particulars, whether
in Brooklyn or in Bokhara.
In politics we have decided opinions;
and a -, e accustomed to express them in
language that can be understood. We
say what wc think about men and events.
That habit is the only secret of The Sun's
political course.
The Wuekjy Hun gathers into eight
pages the best matter of the seven daily
issues. An Agricultural Department of
unequalled merit, full market reports, and
a liberal proportion of literaiy, scientific,
and domestic intelligence complete The
Weekly Hun, and make it the best news
paper for the farmer's household that was
ever printed.
Who does not know and read and like
The Sunday Sun, each number of which
is a Golconda of interesting literature,
with the best poetry of the day, prose
every line worth reading, news, humor—
matter enough to fill a good-sized book,
and infinitely more varied and entertain
ing than any book, big or little?
If our idea of what a newspaper should
be pleases you, send for The Hun.
Our terms are as follows :
For the daily Sun, a four-page sheet of
twenty-eight columns, the price by mail,
post-paid, is 5o cents a month, or SG.SO a
year; or, including the Sunday paper, an
eight-page sheet of lifty-six columns, the
price is (i.j cents per month, or $7.70 a
year, postage paid.
The Sunday edition of The Sun is also
furnished separately at $1.20 a year, pos
tage paid.
The price of The Weekly Sun, eight
pages, fifty-six columns, is $1 a year, pos
tage paid. For clubs of ten sending $lO
we will send an extra copy free.

Cutting the Jack.
A Quiet Little Transaction Between
Two Gentlemen on the Gars
in the lVest .
“Playin’ poker is mighty dang’rotis
bizuess, hoys,” said old Jerry Green
ing the other night as lie came into the
Williamson House bar-room, at Laek
awaxen.
Some of “ the hoys” were indulging
in a little game of draw poker, with a
limit, just to pass away the time.
Judge lvidgway, rhe champion sucker
fisherman of this region, asked Jerry
if he would take a hand. “No,
thankee,” said the veteran yarn spin
ner as he helped himself to a “chaw"
of ’Lije Felton’s tobacco ; “laint a
fakin’ no stock in keerd playin’ nowa
days. Ef you fellers Mi lay down yer
keerd? I'il chuck pennies t’ see who
pays fer th’ drinks, an’ then I'll tell
ye a leetle stor}- ’bout poker playin’.’
The cards were laid down, the coins
were pitched, and “Si” Terwilligcr
was the unfortunate one. Reinforced
with a tumbler of “gin and tansy.”
the old man took off his slouch hat and
heavy throat mnfllcr and prepared to
spin the promised yarn.
“ Lem’me see,” started Jerry. “ I
guess ’t were nigh about Meven year
’go. I were goin’ out West with a party
<>’ city folks to hunt on 111’ pnrairies.
We was a trav'lm’ in powerful fine
style in one o’ them palate keers when
we see n reel nice lookin’ feller with a
li’mond lnizziim-pin cme into the
keer. 110 sot down nigh me, an'
bineby he got the owner of the keer—
which I remarked at the time were a
nigger—to get a table for him. lie
got a playin' keerds all 'lone by his
self, an’ bineby 'notlier nice lookin’
feller came in. an’ them two fellers got
a playin’. Arter a while the two city
fellers that were a goin’ out West with
tne took a ban’ into th’ game, an’ More
we got t’ Chicargo mv two fclleis
hadn't ’nougli spondulix ’round ’em to
buy a square drink o’ liker. let ’lone
nougli to go furder West. Fin’liy one
o’ my men—l allcrs calls 'em my men.
bekase they was going West with me,
ye know—said to th’ feller with th'
di'mon* buzzum pin. ‘Let’s change th’
game. I’ve got jest $3,000 cash in
m’ grip-sack that b’longs to my ol‘
man in Chicargo; let’s play euchre
fer a change.’ * Now, I’ll tell ye what
I’ll do,’ said th’ buzzum pin man ; ‘l’ll
jest, bet ye even $3,000 thot I kin take
them keerds an' cut the jack o’ hearts
the very first time.’ 4 By darn, I’ll do
it,’ sez my man. 4 Wall*’ soz I, 4 I'll
hold th’ stakes.’ ‘All right,’ sez th’
buzzum-pin man. Durin’ this little
conversation my man were a shufflin’
up the keerds kinder nervous like, so
lie laid ’em down an’ to!’ me to keep
m’ eye on ’em while lie got his cash.
He come back with th’ money an'
handed it t’ me. Mr. Buzzum-pin got
•ut his cash, but with what he hed
.von from my man an’ what money he
ned lie were short jest a hunderd
dollars. 4 Wall,’ sez I, ‘ rather than
see this yerc fun broke up I’ll len’ }-e
t.h’ hunderd.’ So I pulls out a nole
stockin’ 1 lied in my grip sack an’ got
out five twenty dollars gold pieces.
'Thar.’ sez I, 4 now get down t’ biz.’
“Wall, they got. Mivßuzzuui-pin
took the’ keerds in his ban’s, an’,
drawen a bowie knife outen his hip
pocket, be cut them keerds right in

he. ‘ I cut th* Jack o' hearts t.lf iu>!
time, mister, an' I reckon I'll I'iecze
onto that thar cash. Fork her over,
mister,’ sez he t’ me. Just’bout that
time I see th’ p ; nt o’ th’ scheme an’ I
laffed till I putty nigh busted. I jist
got down onto th’ lloor an’ luffed, an’
twere close to five rninits ’fore I got
cooled down agin. I were jest ready
t’ pay tlr buzzumpin man th’ $3,000.
an’ his face were as smilin’ as a man's

me.’ * The ’greement was that 1
were t’ cut th’ Jack th’ fust time,’ sez
Huzaum-pin, * an’ I done it, so I’ll take

’lf Jack o' hearts outen his left sleeve.
I reckon not!’ Wall. boys, ef you
could a seen that feller's face drop
you'd smiled a smole. The first thing
he done were t’ reach for his shootin’
iron, but my man sez. ‘Oh, don't do
that,' an’ kinder raisin' the lnpbnard
they were playin’ on lie showed Mr.

thet little scheme o’ cuttin’ Jack, an’
now, m’ friend, I'll giv’ ye a lcetle

Arter this when ye're goin t’ cut th'

out at Chicargo, Me an’ them two

chuck agin for the drinks, an’ then I
guess I’ll go hum, for I’ve got to try

Having “ chucked” for and disposed
of his drink, Jerry bade the crowd
good night and started home, and the
game ol poker was renewed.—Phila

Lime-Kiln Club Deliberations.
“ Doan’ seek to make angels oft cr
solves.” quietly 7 began Brother Gard
nor as the meeting opened. “In de
fust plane, dis am no sort o’ kentrv
fur angels, and in de next place, you
would be mighty lonesome. De man
or woman who becomes so swett an’
soft an’ good dat dey expect ebeiy
mi nit lo rise up an’ fly doan’ take as
much comfort as folks who feel dat it
will boa el us shave to git inter heaven.
A leetle wickedness pickles a man an'
makes him keep all de bet'er. When
1 trade mules wid a man 1 prefer dat
lie should suspect me wid an inten
shun to make an eben $25 by de ope
rashun. When I deal wid a butcher I
like to feel dat he will wo-lc in four
ounces of bone fur ebery eight ounces
of meat if I doan’ watch him. I like
to have de bootmaker tell me Lit
American cowskin am French calf,
an’ I am •pleased when de sto’ clerk
warrants fo’ cent caliker to wash like
sheet-iron. De man who am not a
leetle wicked has no chance to feel
s >rry ; no use (or prayer ; no need of
churches. He cannot say to a fellow
man, ‘ L wronged you— l’m sorry
shake.*
“ I)e man who neber sins makes a
poor ilex' doak neighbur. De woman
wlio keeps feelin’ of her shoulders to
see if wings have started makes a poor
mother an’ a wuss housewife. If you
have neber injured a man an’ gone to
him an’ axed his pardon an’ made up,
you doan’ know what real happiness
am. If 3’our conscience has neber
driven you to prayer you can’t feel de
goodness of de Lawd. My advice to
you am to be a little wicked—not’miff
to make men fear or hale you, but just
'nulf to keep you convinced dat j t ou
must help to support churches an’ pay
clus attenshun to what de preachers
say or you’ll be left bellin’ when de
purccsluin starts.”
F.urther reports w T cre submitted re
garding the torpedo chicken lately in
vented in Mobile. A specimen chick
en had been procured by the commit
tec, and its workings exhibited. The
invention is not as deadly as at first
supposed. It is loaded with four
ounces of bird s! ot and lw<> of powder,
and placed on the roust. \\ lien it is
reached for a catch is thrown out of
place, a powerful spring set in motion,
and a hammer strikes and explodes a
percussion cap. The shot arc thrown
out in every direction, and within ten
seconds alter the explosion a dark
figure is seen galloping down the alle\’
and a Imskv Voice heard inquiring:
•• Fo" de Lawd. but whet Inis <:e white
folks got. hold < 1 now ?" The com
mittee closed its repo t as follows:
"Havin' pushed do i nves! igaton an’
kivered all d<-‘ groan', we beg leave to
be discharged from further considera
shun of de subject, an’ to respectfully
inquar of our respected president:
‘ Kin dis torpedo chicken be supplied Y
If not., what shall we do? Ail’ wc
will eber pray.’’
“As to suppress!n' de inwenshun, I
see no way to accomplish it,” replied
Brother Gardner. ”As to what shall
we do, I hev bin scr’usly reflectin’ fur
de las' ten minits, an’ it am my solemn
belief dat de lies’ thing de cull'd race
kin do am to cultivate a taste fur
some oder sort o’ meat.”
The Secretary announced a com
municatioii from the President of itn
Colored Board of Trade, of Macon,
Ga., asking wliat the Lime Kiln Club
thought of the general outlook for six
months ahead, and Brother Gardner
carefully placed a paper stopper in his
ink bottle and replied :
“ Look out fur dc outlook. De man
who lias sot out to ride tiirce or fo’
from now to nex’ harvest will

He Used to be a Boy Himself.
The other day a show came to Little
Rock and was shamefully imposed
upon by Uncle Isom. While standing
near the tent he saw a crowd of low
spirited boys grieving on account of
financial depression.
'* Does yer youngsters wanter go ter
de show ?” he asked.
The boys responded in noisy chorus.
“ Well, come on den. I lister be a
chile myself, an’ unlike de inns’ ob
men, 1 hain’t forgot it. Count dese
boys,” he added, addressing the door
keeper. The man began counting,
and by the time the boys had passed
in Isom was walking around talking
C
to acquaintances from the plantations.
“Here.” said the showman, “give
me twenty tickets.”
“ What for? Does \’cr think me a
lottery agent?”
“You passed in twenty boys, and 1
want the tickets or the money.”
“I doan’ owe yer no tickets, and I
doan’ owe yer no mone)\ I didn't
tell yer to pass de boys in. I said
count ’em. I’sc alway's heard dat
showmen is good on rithmatic, an’ I
wanted ter satisfy’ myself. Yer say
dat dar was twenty boys. I doan’

Lieian. Sposen I take a lot ob boys

The showman, remembering that he
had lef the entrance unguarded. turned,

Some Hints to Mothers.
When yonr daughter peforras a task
in an ill fashioned manner, always
say : “There! I might as Welt have
done it myself in the first pi nee.” and
then.take the work oht of her hands'
and do it yourself. This willcnconragc
the girl not to try to do the thing the
next time site is set alxmt it.-
Never permit yonr son to havcanv
amusement at home. This will induce
him to seek it in places where yon will
not be annoyed Ivy Ids noise.
There is no place like heme. Im
press this truth upon yonr children by
making home as disagreeable and
unlike any’ other place as possible.
Never neglect the lock in the pantry.
Some have probably turned out
first class housebreakers, all on ac
count of this judicious treatment in
early childhood.
lie gentle and courteous * before
company, but if you have a temper,
let your children have a taste of it as
often as convenient. A mother should
never practice deception npon> her
brood.
Talk slightingly of jour husband to
your boys and girls. This will make
them respect their father.
Tell your child lie shall not do a
thing, and then let him tease you into
giving your consent. This will teach
him what to do on a subsequent oc
casion.
Make promises to your children and
then neglect to keep them. This will
lead your children not to place 100
much reliance upon your word, and
shield them troin manv disappoint
ments.
Tell y’our children they are tF>e
worst you ever saw and they will no
doubt endeavor to merit your apprecia
tion.—Boston Transcript.
