THE NEW YORK SUN

The Sun for 1882 will make its fifteenth annual revolution under the present management, •hilling, as always, for all, big and little, mean and gracious, contented and unhapDy, Republican and Democratic, depia^pd und virtuous,intelligent and obtuse. The Sun's light is for mankind and womankind of every so but its genial warmth is for the eood, while it pourshot discomfort on the bli.teriug backs of the persistently wicked.

The Sun of 1868 was a newspaper of anew kind. It discarded mnnyof the forms, raid a multitude of the superflou3 words and phrases of ancient journalism. It undertook to report a fresh, succnct,

Sle

conventional way all the

news of the world, omittiua no event of human interest, avid commenting upon effuirs with the fearlessness of absolute iooependeoce. The success of this experiment wes the success of It effected a permanent change in the style of American newspapers. Every important journal established in tfci-i country in the dozen

ears past has been modeled -after Sun. Every important jourral alrea ly existing has been modified and bettered by the force of The Sun's example.

The Sun of 18S2 will be the same ontapoken, truth-telling, and interesting newspaper. By the liberal use of the means which an abundant prosperity affords, we shall make it better than ever before.

We shall print all the jews, putting it into re&'lf>ble shape, and measuring it» Importance, not by the traditional yadstick, bnt bv its real interest to the people. Distance from Printing House Squa'e is not the first consideration with the San. Whenever anything happens worth reporting we get the particulars, whether Jt happens in Brooklyn oi in Bokhara. to politics we have decided opinions and are accustomed to express them In language that can be understood. We say what we think about men aod events That habit Is the only cretse the enn's political course

The Weekly Snn gathers into eight pages the best matter of the seven daily issues. An Agricultural Department of unequalled merit, full market reports, and a liberal oportion of literary, scicntiflo, and domestic intelligence complete the Weekly Sun, and make it thebes newspaper for the termor's household that was T8er printed.

Who does not know and rctui and like the Sunday Sun, each number or whi is a Goleonda of interesting literature, with the best poetry of the day, prose, every line worth reading, news, humor— matter enough to fill a goodsised book, and infinitely more varied and entertaining than any book, big or little

If our idea of what a newspaper should be pleases you, send for the Sun. Our terms are an iollows:

For the Dilly Sun, a four-page sheet of twentyeight columns, the price by mall, post paid, is cents a mouth, or $6.50 a year, or. including the Sunday p»per, an eight page sheet of fiftylizcoltimns, the price isCS rents per month, or 7 70 a year, postage paii.

At the present time Field Marshal Mtirst Halstead, of the Cincinnati Commercial, seems to have all he can do in correcting his past utterances in regard to sundry matters, without devoting any attention to topics of the present time. The distinguished field marshal is sometimes a little too premature in his utterances. His foresight isn't always as good as his hindsight.

Scoville has at last run down and stopped. For a time it looked very much as though he had been wound up for a lifetime, and the country wonld be compelled to listen to him until Providence interposed by a special dispensation. Although he failed to prove that a division in the republican ranks caused the murder, the court allowed him to drag in the names of the president of the United States and other distinguished citizens and smear them all over with his filth. For this Judge Cox deserves the severest condemnation. Scoville's argument was a crafty plea for his client, but when Judge Porter has concluded his argument it will not require much time for the jury to bring in a ver diet of guilty.

In our own state th« spread has uot been ae rapid as in Illinois, which can probably be accounttd for on the ground that vaccination has been very general. It has how.ever made its appearacce in nearly all ths ciiies of any importance. Evansville and tur own city have thus far been exempt, and, if the necessary precautiocs are closely followed, we may escape entirely. Indianapolis has had a number of case? also Fort Wayne, Lafayette, South Betid, Madifon, and other,, cities and towns. Health boards have been organized under the new act in all but nine counties, and Vigo, unfortuoately, is one of the nine. The city board has been doing good werk, but it has no jurisdiction outside the city. The county is without a health effifcer to enforca the orders of the state board of health. The law is very explicit in this matter and the bsax'l I of county commissioners should not any longer neg'cct their duty in the premises. It ia a case in which, delays are dangerous. It is gratifying to know that there has been very little opposition to the vaccinatioa rules adopted by the state board of health. Nearly ell fully recognize the importance-of adopting precautionary measures, and vaccination has been a very general rule. Those who have not thusguarded against the disease should proceed to do ss without further delay. -.-»w

The new exchange will be extended from time to time as required, and it is the intention to extend its facilities to surrounding towns where the Central Comparfy own privileges. The system is Btill in its infancy and its possibilities are unlimited.

The following, fiom the Greencastle correspondence of the Indianapolis Journal, shows that the people oi the former place are sound on the question of Gravel Roads. There is no better investment, acd the Putnam county people don't forget it:

The voters of Greencastle seem more inclined to aid gravel roads than new railroad projects. The election to determine whether or not aid should be granted to the Greencastle, Eel Elver & Vinccunes railroad by Greencastle tbwnship, was set for the second Friday in January. In the meantime the friends of the free gravel roads succeeded In working up an extensive boom In opposition to the proposed donation. In view of this, the petitioners have addressed a communication to the board of county com* miffl oners, asking that the election be declared off, and it will doubtless be granted. The question of free gravel roads In the county is being vigorously discussed, and definite action for tho first time taken. '•$•? ————-,

Illinois is also troubled over the loose manner they have of enforcing the law in that state, In speaking of the approaching third trial of a murder case the Chicago Tribune says:

If he should be convicted egain, he might get a fourth trial on the ground that it is no crime to kill a "nigger" in Cook county. There i no reason to believe that he will see the inside of a penitentiary as long as his money holds out and his friends continue to subscribe purses for his defense. As a distinguished lawyer said, publicly, not long ago: "When was a rich man, or a man of good social position, convicted of crime in Cook county?" The Bloomington mob was not so far out of the way when it cried, "The law is a farce." The criminal law is almost "a farce" in Illinois. It is

intended solely for

the benefit of men who have not the money with which to hire "successful criminal lawyers" and weary out the prosecutors and the people with endless quibbles, tricks and frauds upon justice.

Persons who have not been vaccinated for some years should get revaccinated. Vaccination is the only reliable preventive of small pox. There is undoubtedly in most systems an increased susceptibility to the disease this winter, and it is spreading rapidly over the country. There need be no surprise to hear of its breaking out here at any time: in fact, considering the amount of travel to and from Terre Haute, it is a wonder that we have not already had cases of it in our midst. Should it occur there will be no cause for alarm, as vaccination has been quite general, though by no means universal. Remember the adage: "An ounce of preventive is worth a pound of cure."

In another place we copy from th« Rcckville Tribune a vindication of Cajt. McCune of that place from a foal charge that has been brought sgainst him. All who are acquainted with him know that he ranks as one oi the best citizens in that community. His wife died early in 1880, and since that time he has devoted himself entirely to his children. A correspondent of the Exnresa writes that: "I live on the street leading to the cemetery, and have often remarked that every Sunday when the weather would allow he has visited his wife's grave, and when possible

embellished it with flowera.

The natural tenderness of his' disposition and the mournful remembrance of his wife (daughter of the late Gen, George K. Steele) rendered this attaik on him peculiarly cruel and atrocious." Captain McCune

STATE NEWS.

On Wednesday, John Jordan, one of the wealthiest farmers of Wayne couaty, was thrown from a vicious horse he was riding, injuring him so severely that his death is thought to be certain.

In the case of the State vs. Duffy, in the Clark Circuit Court, Judge Ferguson held that "when liquor is given to a minor in any manner, either by sale, gift or barter, directly or indirectly, it is a violation of the statute, and the party so offending is liable to prosecution."

Tke Coroner was called to Millhousen, Decatur county, on Thursday, and found that Barney Brandyweide same to his death Wednesday niRht from excessive drink and exposure to the cold. He was a German farmer, aged 51, and was found dead on the mill platform at an early hour Thursday morning.

T. M. Dohoney, of Jeffersonville, nervous and tired of lile, Wednesday night shallowed a vial of valerian, supposing it sufficiently poisonous to produce death. He had bien very nervous for several davs, and said life was a burden. The drug made him very siclc. but did not kill him. Dahoney was a clerk in Jeffersonville and Louisville.

John Reibly and wife, while crossing the Girard Trunk railroad, near Valparaiso,In a wagon drawn by two horses, Thursday morning, were struck by a train and badly injured. One of the horses was killed: Mr. Reibly had a collar bone broken, and was otherwise injared, and will probably not recover, and Mrs. Reibly sustained several bad gashes.

Captain W. M. Hurley, of New Albany, having been interviewed on the subject by an Indianapolis Times correspondent, says that he has been asked by several members of the Republican State Central Committee to accept the chalrmauship thsreof. and that, while he feels flattered bv this expression of confidence, his bu,ine«8 affairs are of such a nature as to forbid his acceptance of the post, even should it be tendered him unanimously.

During his confinement in the penitentiary, Carson mnde three ineffectual efforts to escape. He will likely bo sent hack for flye or six years.

On Thursday the papers were filed in the Clerk's office of Floyd county, «»n a change of veriF.e from Washington county. In which John C. Russell is plaintiff, and William A. Klliott, Samuel Tuylor, Ludwell Elliott, Lemuel Havs and James W. Elliott, are defendants. Russell, in his complaint chargcs the parties defendant with conspiracy, and with assaulting and b5ating him, and then hanging hioi from a tree until life was nearly extinct These outrages upon Ru'seil were cemmitted on the 27th of August, 1881, near Caaapbellsburg, Washington county, and Russell alleges they were the result of a conspiracy to compel him to acknowledge an act which he was innocent. He barely escaped withbis life. He therefore brings suit for flO,000 damages for the injuries received from the defendant", and for jfi.OtO damages for the conspiracy to take his life. The case will be tried in the Circuit Court, in New Albany, at the February term. 1

Agricultural Department,

Indinnapolis News.

Alex. Heron, secretary of the State Board of Agriculture, returned to-day from the National Agricultural convention in Washington. He says the address of Dr. R. T. Brown, of this city, on the better organization of the Agricultural Department was one of the most interesting features of the con rent ion. Dr. Brown took the position that Congress in organizing the deparfmepf, failed to appreciate its value to the agricultural interests r.f the country or the magnitude of those interests. He thought the plan of Siate boards made up of delegates from county societies and from associations representing various agricultural and slock interect», was entirely proper, but that more efficient no operation was necessary. He suggested tbat a law should be passed by Congress for the appointment of a Deputy Commissioner of Agriculture in each State, whose duty it should be to properly represent the department. The address was warmly appreciated for its practical character, aod Dr. Brown re ceived the compliment of tbe most hearty applause.

Suuflower seeds, fed in small quantities, impart a beautiful gloss to the plumage of poultry.

Remember this, that apples keep better in. damp, moist cellars than in dry ones.In the latter they become dry and shrivelled in the former pliunp and juicy.

Keep the fowls warm and dry, feed some warm food and give them a variety of it. Take out all the old hens and keep only young ones, and the cgjj basket will be well filled, even at this season.

A correspondent of the Scientific American, reports success in growing potatoes on top of tho ground, rows two feet to tncee feet apart, covered with sawdust Io twelve. inches thick.

A veterinary writer condemns high mangers for horses, claiming that they irritate the throat and create a tendency to heaves. He says the manger should be on a level with the feet, as that is in accordance with nature.

The weight of hen's eggs ranges from fifteen to twenty-four ounces per dozen. A weight of twenty-two ana one-half otances may be taken as a fair average for good-sized eggs, although a weight of nearly four ounces is not unknown for single specimens of eggs.

Stable manure is preferable to any other fertilizer. No farmer can afford to waste his manure. All of it should be saved and utilized. In many cases farming would be more profitable if less land was cultivated, with higher fertilization. One acre highly manured should pay better than three out half manured and half cultivated.

It is the opinion of many that a' fowl fattened quickly will make afar more juicy and toothsome meal than a chick. One thing is certain, a three-year-old fowl will make much belter broth for an invalid than a six months1 chicken.

Pigs thrive so much better when kept clean and comfortable, that it is surprising anv farmer should let them wallow infilth"

dry, warm bed, with the same

food, will add one-half more weight to a pig over and above one that is kept in filth and wretchedness.

According to Dr. Von Liebenburg, all air-dry soils, at the same temperature, radiate heat equally. He insists strongly on the injurious effect of any agency that lowers the temperature of the ground in Spring, as that will certainly influence the quantity and quality of the crop.

Design and Works says that grease for belts, which renders them more adhesive and more durable, can be obtained by mixing oil of rosin with 10 per cent, talc. The grease is spread on the belt with a brush several times, or until the leather will not absorb any more. The operation is repeated after some weeks, a smaller quantity of grease being used. The belts acquire more, flexibility and resistance, adhere better to the drums and do not slip. The greasing is only required eveiy few months.

Potato culture is reviving in every part of the United Kingdom. In Irefflnd the acreage has nsen since 1880 from 823,000 to»54,000, notwithstanding the increase in beans, rye, oats and peas. In Scotland there was also an increase, though not large. In England 28,000 additional acres were put under this crop. Wales, this Summer, had 42,400 acres devoted to the potato, against 89,000 acres in the preceding year. The total increase is put down by some agricultural statisticians at 60,000 acres.

T*he composition of buckwheat has been examined by M. G. Lechartier. He states that the proportion of mineral matter in the straw increases with the weight, The straw may indeed become richer in phosphoric acid than the grain, differing as it does completely from that of the other cereals. The straw of a crop of buckwheat may contain more mineral matter than does the grain. The sum of the principal fertilizers removed from the soil by an entire crop is much more considerable than for a crop of wheat containing the same quantity of grain

Two Interesting Fossils,

About twenty years ago, two fossil ftwimala qf great interest were found in the lithographic slates of Bavaria. One was the skeleton of Archceopteryx, now in the British Museum, and the other was the Compsognathus preserved in the Royal Museum at Munich. A single feather, to which the name Archceopteryx was first applied, by Von Meyer, had previously been discovered at the same locality. More recently, another skele? ton has been brought tp light in the same beds, and is now in the Museum of Berlin. These three specimens pf Archceopteryx are the only remaiqs of t.hi.a genus known, while of Compsognathus the original skeleton is, up to the present time, the only representative. When these two animals were first discovered, they were both considered to be reptiles by Wagner, who described Compsognathus, and this view has been held by various authors down to the present time. The best authorities, however, now agree with Owren that Archzopterpx is a bird, and that Compsognathus, as Gegenbaur and Huxley have shown, is a Dinosaurian reptile.—Professor 0. C. Marsh, in Popular Science monthly for January.

Eccentricities of Juries-

A miller in the Southern part of France fell in love with the cousin of his mistress. Both wromen were possessed of the secret that a year or two before he had strangled a man and thrown him into the river. Each one threatened to divulge it unless he citing to her and put the other woman out of the way, so that very naturally he had a hard time of it. At last he determined to neutralize this disagreeable situation by setting one woman to murder the other. The mistress strangled her cousin, but overcome by remorse accused the miller of killing the man who was supposed to have committed suicide, and of being an accessory with her to her cousin*s murder. The jury acquitted him of the first charge, but found him guilty of the second, which, under the circumstances, was

curious verdict, because the motive of his share in the murder of the woman was his fear of being discovered as the murderer of the man. If he was not the murderer of the man, as he asserted, then there was no reason to disbelieve his denial of any participation in the second murder, out juries, even in Franco, evidently have their eccentri' cities,

Not Wanted.

To people who in rash moments wish themselves dead comes this parable, to Bhow them that if taken at their word they would soon retract and plead for life. "A certain feeble old man gathered a load of sticks, and was carrying it home. He became very tired on the road, and flinging down nis burden, he cried out, O Angel of Death, deliver me from this misery At that instant the Angel of Death, in obedience to his summons, appeared before him, and asked him what he wanted. On seeing the frightful figure, the old man, trembling, replied: "O friend, be pleased to assist me, that I may lift once more this burden upon my shoulder: for this par* pose only have I called jrouP

CONGRESS.

fllK HOUSE,

WASHMTOTOH Jan. 20,1882. Tee Hons* went into Committee of tbe Wholeon ha private calendar.

The first bill waa one to ielieve from the charge of desertion two soldiers unjustly treated on that charge during the war, convicted and imprisoned, and restore their right to bounty, but not to pay. A motion was made by Holman to recommit the bill with instructions to report a general law covering all similar case*, bat it was ruled oat of crder.

Randall expressed the hope that the Committee on Military Affairs would mature and report a bill giving to the War Department some power to grant such clemeocy, and thus relieve Congress of that large class of caaee.

After an hour's discussion the bill waa laid aside, to be reported to the Hoose. There were in all six private bills considered in committee and ordered reported to the House. When, at half-past three, the committee rose, and tbe Speaker resumed the chair. Kelly moved to adjourn over until Monday, and on that motion the yeas and nays were ordered.

The Ashland Murder Trial. Catlettsburg, Ky., January 20.— The Ashland murder trial was delayed this morning by a consultation with witnesses by the defense. Mrs. Ellis was the first witness. She and her husband went to bed some time about 7 o'clock on the night of the murder. She was awakened at 12 o'clock, and her husband was there in bed; was awake at 4:30, and still her husband was in bed; was asleep between 12 and 4:30, and heard no noise at the gate, and if her husband went out that night she did not know it. She stated that they didn't have dinner on Christmas Day. Saw her husband and Craft at the fire didn't see her husband again till about twelve o'clock. Thought sufficient time intervened from the time she saw her husband at the fire till she saw him again, to go to Ashland cemetery and back, the point designated by Ellis where he, Neal and Craft met

Ellis had stated that he ate dinner at home that day, about 12 o'clock. Oliver Hampton was called: Heard Ellis say in the presence of A. C. Campbell that Neal and Craft were innocent, but the prosecution tried to show that Ellis was scared into this retraction by threats from Neal and Craft. Depositions were read from witnesses in Maysville jail, and tended to strengthen the confession of Ellis.

Mrs. Neal was present, crying at times, while Neal sat at a table scribbling on a piece of paper with a short lead peneil. The prisoners have not yet been told of the hanging at Ironton by a mob last night, which has stirred up much excitement here.

SOME ONE HAS LIED.

Catlettsburg, Ky., January 20.— Some one has lied in the Ashland murder trial. The defense examined a number of witnesses this morning, and proved by several that on the morning that Neal, Craft and Ellis were said to have been seen talking near the Ashland cemetery, Ellis and Craft were not there, but, the defense proved, Craft and Ellis were somewhere else, and that John Hensley, Josiah McCallister and Joe Bertram were the parties who met Neal. He (Neal) and the others were talking near the Simmons House, and saw at the same time some woman looking at them. The defence is gaining ground in the case, and the excitement is higher now than at any time before. The court room was packed with eager listeners. Several reliable witnesses were called and proved Neal's character and general reputation to be good. The defence will close early in the morning.

The Spnyteii ftnjvll Disaster.

VNKW

YORK, January 20.—The inquest

iii the matter of the Spuyten D.uy vil disaster waa continued to day. Edward Stafford, engineer of the first engine of the Albany train, testified that the train stopped three or four times between Albany and Spuyten Duyvil Station, uid that there was nothing the matter with the air brakes more than ordinary until the stoppage at Spuyten Dnyvil cut There was no reason for the application of the brakes, and they should net have been applied. The accident wonld not have happened if the brakes had not been tampered with. They had slopped seven minutes wheu the crash came, and it broke tbe draw-bar between the first and second engines,

Henry I). Welsh, bar tender at Kilcnllen's Hotel, testified that he saw the express standing op the track, and the brakeman standing near the rear of the train. When theTarrytown train was heard he saw the brakeman run baek about 130 feet, signalling cs he went. If the brakeman had started when witness first saw him he could have got to the cut before the Tarrytown train emerged When witness saw the brakeman first, he was not more than three feet from his car, and looked as though be waa ready to jamp on at any moment. The brakeman had been standing for five minutes beside his car before running back.

A. H. Catlin, who has charge cf the air brakes on tbe Hudson River railroad said he examined the brakes on the Albany train when it came in, and found them all right, and that the train must have been stopped by some person, pulling the valve rope,

Archibald Buchanan, engineer on the second engin attacked to the Albany train, testified that he had seventy-five pounds of air on, and that it fell to forty pounds when the train stopped, which showed him that somebody had suddenly applied the air brakes. No employe oa the train would have applied tbe brakes. Both en^ gincs on the train had automatic air brakes, as had also the Tarrytown train.

Visitors to the Dore Gallery, Locdon, will remember the superb painting, occupying nearly an entire side of the splendid gallery, entitled

Of this magnificent painting—the mist important of Dora's works—a pore line steel engraving has just been completed in Englanl. This engraving is only sold by subscription, and the price is £6, or about $30. It is absolutely impossible to secure a copy at a less price, except through thie offer. The engraving represents the Savior as be is It aving the Prsetorium, after being condemned to crucifiction. He ia descending the steps leading from the judgment court. At the foot of tbe steps stands two burly executioners, in charge of the cress which the Savior is to bear. On the right are the followers and believers of Christ, with despair in their every look, while the mother of our Lord is an agonized and fainting attendant. In the rear and on the left are the judges and scoffers, surrounding Pontius Pilate, who are looking with fierce complacency on their work. The central figure is that of Christ, as he uncomplainingly descends the steps to take up the £oes and bear it to he scene of his crucifixion. £Tbe work in this portion of the engraving is more perfect and beautiful than we had supposed could ever be executed. The expressions of the faces, the grouping of the figuiet.1 and the careful attention to detail in the draper, accessories of the picture, are all carried out in perfection and with consummate skill. There is a very large number of figurea in the work, and all are depicted with life-like faithfulness. It stands today unqueationablv The Finest and aioit Valuable

Engraving in the World. The engraving of the plates cost upwsrd of $30,000, and no copies from it are sold at a less price than $30, which, with duties and shipping added, brings the cost to American purchasers to about $40 per

l&is splendid work is the first of a series ol the prominent art works of Europe, which the AMERICAN ART EXCHANGE will produce in America, simultaneous with their product ion in the Old World, and at pricea which will enable the maltitude to purchase.

This firat work, "Ohiist Leaving tha PrStftoriunu" will be used as an introductory advertisement, and a limited number will be furnished

FREE TO ALL APPLICANTS It is a correct reproduction of the English plate, which sells at $30 per copy, many of which have been purchased by a number of Americans at that price, who subscribed for it through tbe English bouse. The American edition will be furnished in the same sise and with tbe same attention to perfect work as characterizes the $30 copies.

Tbe object of this extraordinary offer ia to bring our enterprise into immediate recognition in this country, so that when we announce future works the public will have had an opportunity to judge of the quality and beauty of tbe art work produced by the American Art Exchange.

Until the first edition is exhausted, we will ship a perfect copy of the engraving, "Christ Leavjng the Prcstorium," to any applicant, ftie engraving (which is a

very large one) will be put up in a heavy tube, and sent by mail. The only charge will be the cost of tubing and postage, which will be 10 three-cent postage stamps. It was at first thought 20 cents would be sufficient for this charge, but irom frequent breaking of the tubes in the mail bags it was decided to increase the thickness and strength of the tabes (thus making them heavier^ so that they could not be broken except ease of an accident. This necessitated an increase of chsrges for this pat pose to 30 cents, or 10 three-cent stamps.

On receipt of application we will immediately forward this superb engraving to any address in tbe United States, all charges prepaid, when ten three-cent stamps are enclosed in letter to cover postage and tube. At any time within one vear we will take b-ck tbe engraving and allow a credit of $3 for it in payment for any works issued by us.
