THE NEW YORK SUN

The Sun for 1882 will make Its fifteenth annual revolution under the present management, shining, as always, for all, big and little, mean and gracious, contented and unhappy, Bepubliean and Democratic, depraved ana virtuous,intelllgentand obtuse. The Sun's light is for mankind and womankind of every soit but its genial warmth is for the good, while it pours hot discomfort on the blistering backs of the persistently wicked.

The 8un'of 1868 was a newspaper of anew kind. It discarded many of the forms, and a multitude of the snperfious words and phrases of anclert journalism. It undertook to report in a fresh, succinct, unconventional way all the news of the world, omitting no event of human Interest, aad commenting upon aflairs with the fearleascess of absolute independence. xb6 success of this experiment was the success of It effected a permanent change in the style of American newspapers. Every important journal established In this country in the dozen

Sle

ears past has been modeled after Sun. Every important journal already existing has been modified and bettered by the forco of The Sun's example.

The Sun of 1882 will be the same outspoken, 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 readable shape, and measuring ltd Importance, not by the traditional yardstick, but by its real interest to the people. Distance from Printing House Square is uot the first consideration with the 8nn. .Whenever anything happens worth reporting we get the particulars, whether it happens in Brooklyn or in Bokhara. in politics we have decided opinions and are accustomed to express them In language that can be understood. We say what we think about men and events. That habit Is the only cretse the Sun's political course.

The Weekly Sun gathers into eight pages the best matter of the seven dally issues. An Agricultural Department of unequalled merit, full market reports, and a liberal proportion of literary, scientific, and domestic intelligence complete tho Weekly Sun, and make It the bes newspaper for the farmer's household that was veer printed.

Who does not know and read and like the Sunday Sun, each number- or which Is a Goloondaof Interesting literature, with the best poetry of the day, prose, every line worth reading, news, humor—matter enough to fill a goodsized book, and Infinitely more varied and entertaining than any book, big or little

ABDSEHMTH.

ALVIN JOSLIN.

One of the largest audiences of the season filled the Opera House from the floor to the roof last night, drawn by the remarkable play of Alvin Joslyn. Sorely there is something in the air that tells the multitude when to expect the thing that sails it, and it is difficult to decide which most to admire, the liberality which has given $100,000 to Charles Davis or the discrimination which packed the house last night and sent the Hoey and Hardie Combination out of town with a loss.

This very melodramatic performance represents a Vermont farmer in the great metropolis, roaming through the wild scene* and adventures made familiar by such plays as "Under the Gas Light" or by the charmiog New York Weekly serials.

Although the unity necessary in a well arranged plays is entirely disregarded, the situations are utterly improbable, and much of the business very old, Alvin Joslin is very popular, and will continue to draw immensely to the end of the chapter. It is too long, over three hours, bat it mores along quickly, the scores of scenes with their various humorous and exciting scenes and reneational climaxes following so rapidly as to hold tbe audience patiently to the close.

Mr. Charles L. Davis, as Alvin Joslin, aa old New England farmer, made up and looked the character to perfection, and passing over the peculiar conception of this partioular farmer, it was an excellent piece of character acting, and was received with uproarious applause. It was, of course, unusual to see a granger sporting such articles, but &11 were obliged to Mr. Davis for exhibiting the $30,000 rinsr, which shows with the effulgence of a Fresnel lantern.

The support earried out the rations parts with commendable ability according to the copy set.

It would be impossible to mention in detail the twenty who appeared. Mr. Charles Williard, as Baxter, the Bowery boy, delighted the "gods" extremely, although he introduced nothing in slang not already entirely familiar to them, and dwelt too much on well worn phrases.

The traditional villains were given in regulation style, and Uncle Alvin made more hair breadth' escapes and went through more exciting adventures than his much finer predecessor, Uncle Dan'l.

The scenes representing theNew York Central depot and the East Kiver bridge were excellent and heightened the effccr.

Mr. Davis had last night what managers care more for than favorable criticism, and which is not often affected by unfavorable critics, that is, the applause of the mass of the audience, which Was tumultuoA, ear spliting and continuous.

KVANGELINE.

An exchange thus speaks of Ernest Stanley's company, which will produce the delightful Evangeline at the Opera House Saturday afternoon and evening:

The artist who brought back with him last night many gratefal reminiscences of the 'Lone Fisherman,' who

Bits

in silent

meditation on the solitary rock, and angles for cast-ofit garments in the flood-tide, Joe Harris, his latest representative, there is an undoubted family resemblance, which renders the familiar wardrobe of the comparatively solitary fisherman an object of agreeable recollection. He is the only descendant who promises to survive the numerous ups and downs of the shore, and who will retain his personal attachments through all the chances and changes of calm and storm. la the catalogue of last night's cast, one fair and bright remembrance of the past was left to recall he, many departed associates, and in the comfortable rotundity of Nellie Larkellsr there was no one who could so happily revive many of the fond reminiscences that will linger around ths pleasant incidents of the fleeting loves of Evangeline. Miss Hattie Bichaidson, to whom we entrusted the tender recollection of her numerous predecessors, was the suitable depository of many charming revivals. She undoubtedly presented a poetic idea of 'Evangeline* in her most graceful form and attitudes. Excepting 'Gabriel,' who retains all tbe combined physical requisites of 'our hero* Nellie Larkelle, is alone entitled to be the representative of that youthful Borneo. All the other representatives of former casts have disappeared, if we may except, perhaps, Messrs. Cohen and Turner, wbo enjoy respectively the animal distinction of appearing aa the fore and hiod-qnar-tera of the wonderful 'Heifer,' in her terppiichorean exercises at' Evangeline's' betrothal. There is a pleasant aroma about the music of the extravaganaa which will be always acceptable and there, are numerous feminine beauties wbo are invested with peculiar stage faeinations, which are so often renewed that they never seem| to grow old. Miss Jennie Weathersby is entitled to a welcome in the character of 'Catherine.' Sturgess makes 'Captain Deitrich' a suitable representative of the Dutch mercenary. Everything went off with eclal and satisfaction.

RAILWAY NEW8.

Current Items in Batlroad Circles—Local and General.

W. B. Tuell went east yesterday afternoon. Os Reynolds went to Sf. Louis yesterday afternoon.

Monday's coal movement on the Van-1 dalia was 294 care. Eight miles of new side track were laid by the I. & St. L. in 1831.

The E. & T. H. moves with six trains daily an average of 200 loaded cars. On Monday the Vandalia received 192 loaded cars here, and forwarded 127.

E. & T. H. passenger engine No. 12, is in active service, after undergoing repairs in the shops.

The C. & E. brought in a big train of 45 loaded cars Monday evening. Engine No. 5-5 did the work.

For tbe week ending January 21, Terre Haute division of the C. & E. I. moved 949 loaded and 480 empty cars.

Yandalia engine No. 7 has come out of the shops and is doing switching duty, preparatory to going into a passenger run.

TheW., St. L. & P. run their trains over the Chicago & Alton road since their bridge went down at St. Charles, Missouri.

The Kansas Pacific Road has recently issued an order compelling freight conductors to pay all extra charges^ out of their wages for freight carried past its destination.

The afternoon Yandalia passenger, No. 6, yesterday came in on time with ten cars, including three Pullman cars. Two of the coaches were taken off here, however.

The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe and the Chicago & Alton are the only linees west of St. Louia Which have not yet agreed to the arrangement^ of discontinuing the payment of commissions to passenger agents for selling tickets.

J. N. McCullough states that five yeasa from now, and poueibly within three years, the P., C. & St. L. and Vandalia tracks will be doubled between St. Louis and Pittsburg, and possibly this year the track will be doubled between Bradford and Columbus, 88 miles.

It is one month to-day since tbe I. St. L. has had an accident to the rolling stock, and in that time but of one fatality has occurred tbe killing of the fireman Quandt, at Pana, Saturday night. In all this time the passenger trains have been on time, with but few exceptions, and the good record is a matter of much comment.

In tbe event of the consolidation of the C. & E. I. and E. & T. H. interests, it is rumored that Danville wili mark tLe end of the two divisions of the road froip Evansvllle to Chicago. Passenger engineers will run clear through, but the rest of the crews will stop at Danville. And Terre Haute will then bs a station on the great "north and south trunk line."

Indianapolis Journal: A rumor is afloat' in financial circles to tbe effect that the Terre Haute & Indianapolis Bailroad Company passed its usual semi-annual dividend of 4 per cent, in January, the rumor assigning as a reason that the T. H. & I. had advanced large sums of money to improve the western division of the Yandalia. The Journal hss official authority for stating that a 4 per eent. dividend was declared at the annual meeting, payable February 1. "King" Cole, tbe Southern railway monarch, who was crowded cut of the Louisville & Nashville system, after being re-elected president of tbe East Tennessee & Georgia railroad, has been given permission to take a year's holiday, and General Sam Thomas, Vice President of the system, will at once assume control of the affairs of the company. In railroad circles it is generally believed that Colonel Cole is out for good, and that the Directors of the -East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia system have dropped him for all time to come.*"

GOOD BcfelSESS.

The Vandalia moved during the week ending January 22d, 6,344 loaded cars on the main Jin°, and 490 cn tbe Logan division. The largest movement on the Logan for the entire month was on Friday, 132 loads being moveti on that

A GOOD ROADBED.

The recent change of time on the Vandalia did not increase the speed of trains on the western division but added twenty minutes to tbe time between this city and St. Louis. This was occasioned partly by the inability of the Illinois Central people to change their time to correspond_ with he change first proposed by the Vandalia. The union depot at St. Louis is eo cramped for room that, had the Vandalia gone in there sny earlier than at present the depot company would have been unable to handle the train. Tbe track from this city as far west as Altamont is as fine apiece of roadbed as there is in th» county and consequently when a change is made cutting down time, a big slice will come out of the present time over the division mentioned.

COSTLY FF.EE DSILTMTF.

Indianapolis Journal: The Vfcndalia people take exceptions to the stand taken by tbe coal dealers as regards the $1 switching charge. They state^ that this company erectcd coal dumps in 1871 at an expense of $22,000 afterwards, to better accommodate the Indianapolis coal dealers, the bins were rearranged and cut down in height at a cost of $7,000. Tbe bins were at first leased to dealers at $100 per year, and afterwards all charges for their use were taken off. The coal dealers, at their own option, abandoned these bins, established yaids, and laid private switches. Besides erecting these bins, t^e Vandalia built a large line of dump cars, at a cost of $50,000, for the coal trade of this city, which were of no value to. the road except for this business, and which was an entire loss to the company after the coal-dumpfi were vacated. With the coal business provided for

this

manner, and in ordei- to assist the manufacturing interest? of the eity, it Was decided to make deliveries of oal and other car-load freight to their factories fra^. This was the* inauguration of the freedelivery system by this company, which is now costing it $12,000 per annum.

A Scene from "Alvlai For purity of thought, elegance of diction, strength of expression—and wonderful originality, withal—the play of "Alvin Joslin" surpasses alf the plays ever given here. The following is a gem of purest ray serene, from, this "greatest of all charactertomedies:"

Ford (the villain)—"Soho, my pretty bird, you refuse to do my bidding. You'll do as I say, or I'll kill you."

Julia (the sheroine)—"Well, let it te death then. Better death than life with such as you."

Ford—(with a sardonic laugh) "Ha, hs!" (cuts her left lung cut and throws it on the stage. Enter Jim Dean a moral villain. He speaks.)

Dean—(in surprise) "What, strike a woman! e-m-o-m-b-e-r, Bob! Your own mother was a woman! (Sensation in the audience.)

Ford—(with bands clasped to his forehead) "Merciful heaven! Who gave the snap away." (Uproarious applause. Curtain.)

Tbo lafkystte Ptixe.

The committee in charge of ,tneprize drill and reunion at Lafayette last Octohave jasl ber published a list of the receipts nnd expenditures of that affair. The report winds np by stating that all the bills have been paid in full (including the 2d and 3d prize money) "except the $200 prize claimed by the McKeen Cadets of Tern Haute." This same committee has been characterized by the Lafayette papers— which have all treated the Cadets on the square—as a "set of bummers." A number of the fair-minded citizens of Lafayette have guaranteed to make up the amount of the unpaid prize as soon as this committee would make a detailed report, and it is to be presumed that the money will be forthcoming shortly.

How a Ooi^urei Amused Himself Verbeck, the conjurer, once took it into his head to patronize a hairdesser in a rather unfashionable part of Paris. The establishment wore a not very prosperous aspect, the staff being far more numerous than the customers. At the conclusion of his first visit, Verbeck, after paying for being shaved, with some ostentation dropped a two-frank piece into the receptacle for the

pourboires.

Aloud and general "Thank you, monsieur," naturally greeted this proceeding, the attendants vying with one another as to who should be most polite to the generous client. On the succeeding day verbeck made his appearance in the shop at about the same nour, and was received with marked respect One assistant got a new cake of soap ready, another produced a napkin of ivory whiteness, while a third carefully stropped the best razor in the place. The proprietor himself offered his new customer a paper, and the lady of the house inquired if monsieur would like a foot warmer. Verbeck, however, paid for being shaved, and dropped a couple of francs into the money box as before. On the third day there was even greater deference on the part of master, mistress and men. Two pots of flowers had. been brought down from the lady's room to deck the toilet-table in front of which the open-handed customer was in the habit of seating himself. On the fourth day the hairdresser's youthful daughtei paid him a pretty little compliment, at the end of the operation the two francs falling into the box as usual. On Saturday, tne day on which the money-box had to be opened, the excitement became eicessivfe. The proprietor in an unguarded moment decided to close the shop an hour before the usual time, and all ma8e up their minds that the wealthy customer's silver should forthwith be spent in a neighboring wine shop. On opening the box, however, to the disgust of the expectant circle, not a-single piece of silver was to be found. As a natural result everybody began to suspect everybody else, the mistrust of the assistants gradually centering on the unfortunate proprietor. The mistrust deepened into hints, and the hints into open charges ot malversation of the moneys placed in the supposed culprit's keeping and tho position of the latter had become fai from enviable when luckily Verbeck thought it time to reveal his identity. Having explained that he had always substituted a sou for a two-franc piece by sleight of hand, when seeming to drop the silver into the box, and having compensated the

garcons

by the present

of a louis, mutual apologies were exchanged between employer and employed, and the postponed visit was made to the wine-shop. jv

Loose Marriages.

A minister runs a gjeat risk in marrying a couple of whom he knows absolutely nothing. There are some clergymen who Have an immense run of marrying patronage. The ceremony they

erform is a purely perfunctory one. is "business" from beginning to end. The most important ana solemn transaction that can possibly take place in the history of two numan beings is hurried through as lightly as if it were the entering of a couple of names in a directoiy or the measuring of two people for one suit of clothes. This certainly js not quite right but some ministers are actually so careless that they have a fashion of marrying any strangers who may happen to come into their houses and request to be united. A case actually happened in Brooklyn, recently, where an apparently respectable clergyman married a half-drunken young man and woman whe came to his house for the purpose at two o'clock in the morning. Tnere seems to be in some minds the idea that the minister is by law or by custom obliged to marry any and every couple who may ask to be married. This is entirely optional with tho minister. There are some ministers who always positively refuse to marry people whom they do not know or who are not properly introduced to them by responsible persons. A marriage fee is a very paltry consideration for performing an act which may inflict on some innocent and confiding person irreparable damage. If ministers were more careful, the crime of bigamy would not be so easy of accomplishment.

Tke Missing Link,

Professor E. D. Cope has secured tho skull of an extinct monkey which seems to fulfill in a remarkable degree the conditions of the missing link between man and the lower animals. It is not larger than the skull of a small ground squirrel, and belongs to a species of marmose. It was found in the valley of the Big Horn river, Wyoming territory. .The

Sly

rofessor says: "The skull is remarkasimilar—in miniature, of course—to the human skull. The brain space i3 remarkably large, and is, in fact, several times larger than the brain space of any of the skeletons of animals of the san\o period of time. The characteristics of the formation of the human skull are clearly defined—so clearly as to be remarkable. The teeth are almost the same as, human teeth, while the jaw has many strong points of similarity^ I consider this skull as the earliest indication of the existence of man. It is a new species of a similar class, and has hitherto been unknown to scientists.''-

Too Deep for Him.

Lord Mcdonald, examining & man Who was a witness in the Court of Kind's Bench, asked him what he knew of the defendant "O, my lord, ~1 knew him I was up to him!"' "Up to him!" says his lordship "what do you mean by beingup to hiin?" "Mean,'toy lord? Why, I was down upon him." "Up to Mm and down upon him?" says his lordship "what does the fellow mean?" "Why, I mean, my lord, as deep a» he thought himself, I stagged him. "I cannot conceive, friend," says his lordship, "what you mean by this sort of language I do not understand it." "Not understand it!" rejoined the fellow, with surprise "what a flat you must be!"

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

Of this msgnificent painting—the msst important of Dore's works—a pure line Bteel engraving hss 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 this offer. The engraving represents the Savior as he is having the Prsetorium, after being condemned to crucifiction. He is descending the steps leading from the judgment court. At-thefootof tbe steps stands two burly executioners, in change of the cress which the Savior ie to bear. On the right are the followers and believers of Christ, with despair ia their every look, while the mother of Our Lord is an agonized and fainting attendant. In the rear and cn 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 croes and bear it to he'Bcene of bis crucifixion. G^he work in this portion of tbe engraving is more perfect and beautiful than we had supposed cotild ever be executed. The expressions of the faces, the grouping of tbe figures' and the careful attention to detail in the drapery and accessories of the picture, are all carried out in perfection and with consummate skill. There is a very large" number of figures in the work, and all are depicted with life-like faithfulness. It stands today ucquestionably TLe Ficest and Most Valuable

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

This splendid work is the first of a series of the prominent art works of Europe, which the AMERICAN ART EXCHASGE will produce in America, simultaneous with their production in the Old World, and at prices which will enable the multitude to purchase.

This first work, "Ohrist Leaving the Prgatorium," will be used as an introductory advertisement, and a limited number will be furnished

FREE TO ALL APPLICANTS! It is a corrnct reproduction of the English plate, which Bel's at $30 per copy, many of which have been purchased* by a number of Americnns at that price, who subscribed for it through the English house. The American edition will be furnished in the same eize and with tbe same attention to perfect work aa characterizes the $30 copies..

Tbe object of tlxia extraordiuary offer is to bring our enterprise into immediate recognition in this country, so that when we announce future works the public will have hsd an opportunity toj udge of the quality and beauty of the art work produced by the American Art Exchange.

Until tbe first edition is exhausted, we will ship a perfect copy«of the engraving, "Christ Leaving the Proelorium," to any applicant. The engraving (which is a very large one) will be put up in a heavy tube, and eent by mail. The only charge will be

hree-eent portage stamps. It waa at first thought SO eeata would be auffident for this charge, but from frequent breaking of tbe tubes in the mail bags it waa da tided to increase the thickness and strength of the tubes (thus making them heavier) so that they ooutd not be broken except in case of aa accident. This necessitated an increase of charges for this purpose to 30 cents, or 10 three-cent stamps.

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