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. Address 1. W . ENGLAND, Publisher of The Sun, New York City.

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.

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 i when iie looks at his fust baby, when all t* oncet my man sez, ‘ Mr. Greenin’, l reckon \ oil'll pay that hull pile over 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 the dough, ifyc please. I cut it, didn't L?’ 4 Wall, no,’ sez my man, pulin’ ’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. Huzzura pin a six shooter pintin’ in h’ direction o’ his heart, an’ ’t were r ull cocked, ton. 1 Wall, I'm done FIRE PROOF MESSENGER BOXES •town fur once.’ sc z the buzzum pin man, an’ sez he, * Who be ye, anyway, stranger ?’ ‘ Wall,’ sez rny man, *1 don’t mind ’bliging ye with my eog’omen.

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.

If 3’our conscience has neber driven you to prayer you can’t feel de goodness of de Lawd.

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.

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.
