An Innxloallve Inlfrylfwcr Taken the Opinion of fh Country Through the Art' Invention. Boston Correspondencr of .the Philadelphia Times. Hion the editor of the Tin.es told me, on Thursday, that he wanted me to interview all ihe prominent men in the country, I began, in my mind, to pick out comfortable sleeping car births, and, also in my mind, to pack six very large Saratoga trunks. But it wns not to be so. "The telephone," said he. "You can sit in a telegraph ollice.where the wires come in, and talk with anybody 'at the other end of the wire. You can hear his voice can even distinguish hia voice, if you know it from a hundred others. There are many of these telephones about the country. Nearly every man of prominence has a telephone in his houe. But the onlv condensing telephone is in Boston. Here is a list of the notabilities who have private telephones, and here is a thousand doller note to pay your ex peüses. You must po to Boston." Ten hoars afterward I was in Boston. Before another sun had come up out of the harbor I had chartered the telephone. "At o'clock this evening." said the telephone man, "you shall interview the continent." . . At o'clock we went up to the telegraph ollice. The clerks were ready for us. They took us into a room that bristled with wires like an armory with contract rifles. The telephone was under my companion's arm. It was very small, very compact and very innocent lookin. I will not try to describe it; it would be dangerous. My efforts to explain Kdion's quadruples telegraphy, once, drove half of New York to distraction. But it's i very scientific instrument. You talk into it and somebody at the other end of the line answers you. That's the short of it. You can talk across the continent if you have a wire, and no sewing society is complete without one. The telephone man unwrapped the machine, du.-ted it and connected it. with the first wire. The circuit was hardly complete before the air grew warm; it began to look blueisli and hazy; there was a terrible rumbling, and in a few seconds-, as soon as the machine got do.vn to business, there bounced against our ears such a string of munes of nameless demoniac horrors that several ladies in the party fainted. The sounds grew louder and quicker and worse. The clergymen who had come to see the experiment were indignant. "If you can't make a more grammatical and less blasphemous machine than that," said one of them to the telephone man, "Boston is no place for you." The operator in a frenzy unhitched the wire and the tounds ceased. He looked at the label under the wire. "It's Moody's tabernacle wire, and Moody is preaching," he shouted. The phenomenon as explained. "Now name your victim." said the operator, calming himself, "and we'll begin." I took the Kev. Dr. Deems. The Deems wire was fastened on, and the music began: "Kighty-seven, eighty-eight, eighty-nine, ninety. Hold on, there's another bad note. That's the third. It's all very well to leave a man 20,000, but I call it a'shabby trick to (ut so much of it in counterfeits that a felow can't use, except in collection boxes. There's another. Put this pile in the safe, my son. and come bai k for more. Blessed, happv Commodore, shall I e'er cease to think of thee?" Hash man! Dr. Deems was counting his money in his private telephone room. A loud call along the wire awoke him to the situation. "Well," he answered, "what do you want?" "What do you think of the condition of the poor in New York, doctor?" "Hang the poor! Thev'rc frauds. What business has any man to be poor! But I must awa. Our Bengalee mission society meets at? " Then we tried the president. The drant family wire was attached. His excellency answered the summons: "The president of the United States sends greeting. Ood bless our noble land. Tiie 1urity of our institutions shall be preserved. A little more fugar, please. The brain of the nation has produced another miracle. J Cork that gin. Heaven bless you, my subjects." Give me a light. There was a mystery about the president's hearty greeting. The words in brackets came in a much lower tone than the others. I at Wed the operator how it was. "The loud words." lie replied, "an? uttered while the steaker has Lis mouth to the machine; the others, while his head is turned away."- That made it clear. "Z. (.'handler." the next wire in the row was labeled, and we called him out. "Srr." he replied in a deep ham voice that echoed through the rooms, "I decline to communicate. The telegraph ire is an invention of Satan. No man can trust it and be happy. I have tried it and I know. . But bless you, my dear fellow bless any man who invents a telegraph line that keeps no copies of its messages. It is prayer meeting time. Good night." I suggested George Francis Train. The j Train wire was put on. "The eternal truths," the machine began, 'of a thousand generations come rumbling down through time. They reach us through the telephone. Youniy dear sir, who have invented such a blessing are greater than all the Ilomans that ever danced on the Campagna. You are the only sane jnan in the world exceptCeorge Francis Train." "Try our next. president," I suggested. "Which one?" said the operator. "We flipped a cent. Heads was for Tilden, tails for Hayes. It came up head-, but Mr. Tilden was not at home, so we tried Mr. Hayes. The machine immediately answered our summons. "If," it began, "Sumacstump and Yellowmud parishes have given me the majorities returned by the board, then the commission can have no alternative but to declare me elected. Again, if the 3- white men in Bulldoze county 30 overawed and frightened the 1,8t) colored voters that the latter were afraid to approach the polls, then, of course, the election was a fraudulent one, and we must have another. But I have put everything in the bands of Providence and Mr. (irant. They will look out for my interests. I am convinced " An ire gorpe in the Susquehanna disconnected Mr. Ifayes's wire, and the rest of his communication was unfortunately lost. The New York circuit was readjusted, and we put on the wire of one of the newspapers. No answer came to our summons, and we gathered from a low, incoherent conversation that the chief editor was away that, in fact, he had gone away in the sombre hours of night. We overheard a few brief words that were evidently spoken in a distant part of the room : "J that Paris special written yet?" "No; I'll have it done in ten minutes. Here's a three-line cablegram from London." ' That's all right. Make half a column of it. Tell Johnson he must have thatSchlieinann letter finished in an hour, and that if he can't imagine diagrams of a traighter tomb than the lat, he'd betttr take lessons of an undertaker." They were evidently privileged communication"?, and we took off the wire. Hppy thought! I would talk to the Tunes. ' How pleasant thus to bold sweet

friends. The wire I put my mouth to the tube. "Send me some money. That was a cou fl terfeit note you gave me." "That's too thin," the answer came quickly back. "Foot it home." Sadly that wire was put back to its place. A sentimental young lady suggested that we try a poet. " The Bryant wire was attached. The manufacturer of Grecian verse responded promptly. " The jolliest days öf all are come, The merriest of the year, When it's not too warm for t-amin punch, Nor yet too cold for beer." At inp request the opeator tremblingly attached Murat Halstead there. A clerk steadied the machine. There was a whirr. The first part of a sentence about a milldam and the Helvetian nation got safely through, but before we could catch the meaning. The machine broke. Hesitatingly I asked the telephone man. (who looked like a Spiritualist) whether he had ever tried putting one of the machines in a graveyard. Yts, he said, he had; but there was such a shoutine for water that the police threatened to lock him up for a nuisance. Deys. THE SACKING OF CALL Fuller Retails of, the Month American Massacre und the I'lrrnmstances That Led to It. The Panama Star and Herald has the following in reference to the sack of Cali, in addition to the details already reported by telegraph: 'The biennial elections which took place last year for the presidency of the union and the nine federal states (into which the country is divided 1, gave rise to a revolution in the three Atlantic states of Bolivar Magdalena and Panama, and to. a split in the dominant liberal jarty, which henceforth became divided into two hostile sections. The administration of Parra had not been inaugurated when symptoms of a violent conservative reaction became visible, and in July last a revolution broke out, headed by the conservative governments of the foreign states of Antioquiu and Tolima. "From the very commencement of the war the province of Cali has been the chief stronghold of the liberals, and the source whence the government drew its greatest supply of men and of means. The town of Cali i by far the most important one of the Cauca It occupies the center of the valley formed by the river of that name, and commands the road to Buenaventura, which is the only port on the Pacific available for the introduction of arms, ammunition and sucli reinforcements as, the federal government might be enabled to send in case of urgent need. Th inhabitants can be roughly estimated at about 20,000, of which more than two-thirds may be said to consist of a vagabond population of black and mixed blood, imbued with intensely communist doc. trines, the remaining third being for the most iart of Spanish origin. There is also a sprinkling of foreigners of all nations. "On the lHth of December last, at 7 o'clock in the evening, a band of sonre Vö men, mostly unarmed, under Carlos Patino, entered the town and united under the monastery of Santa LibraJa, situated about two blocks from the principal plaza. This building has been used for some time past as a birracks and depot for government stores and ammunition. The result was the capture of the town by the conservatives. On the whole the liberal inhabitants suffered no particular annoyance beyond the loss of some fire arras, horses and saddles. "The hapless town was, however, to fall into the bands of General David Pena, who had already been associated with deeds of cruelty and outrage that will render his name forever infamous in the annals of his country. He had started from Popayan a few days before the rising to join the army on the frontiers of Antioquia. but he had only made two days' march when, on the Huh of December, the news of the rising at Cali reached him. At the same time he heard that the government, fearing the consequences of his return to Cali, had detached General Thomas llergifo, who belongs to the same school as l'ana.but is nevertheless a man of n: rural good sense, to take charge of the expedition. Pena deteimined non? should share with him the glory, as he termed it, of exterminating the Goths and delivering his native town. "His lirst step was consistent with his ordinary mode oi recruiting his men. The doors of the jail of Buga were thrown open and itj crew of convicts, ruffians stained with bloodshed and crime of every kind, incorporated with its own troops, already consisting in part of the sweepings of the prisons. The man's doctrines were known; slaughter, robbery and destruction followed in Ids footsteps, and for leagues around bands of negroes, demoralized by drunkenness, by vice, and by habitual depravity, Hocked to his standard. Each town, each village, furnished its contingent, an J by the time he reached Palmira, the center of the tobacco growing district, hundred oi fugitive liberals from Cali itself had joined him, composing a motley crowd, variously estimated at from 2,000 to 4,000 men, a large proportion mounted and armed with lances, others with rides, guns and old muskets; all carrying cutlattses, and many axes, crowbars and other implements of which they had, stripped the estates and plantations on their line of march, leaving desolation behind them,threatening annihilation to all whose skins were not as black as the hearts of these ruffians. "At daylight on the 24th of December, the small body of conservatives at Cali, observing Pena'a approach, furiously attacked his advance guard, but their number was so insignificant that they were soon cut to pieces. What followed is indescribable. The inhabitants, awakened by the firing, saw tha liberals pouring into the town by all the principal streets leading into the 'plaza,' with cnea of 'Death to the Goths; long live Pena.' 'Down with the shameless Goths.' In a dense mass ot mingled horse and foot they advanced on the municipality ä dusky crowd of yelling miscreants, bedizened with red ribbons and streamers, made mad with drink and thirsting for blood and destruction. "While a few were breaking down the doors of the prison where the liberals who had been taken on the 18th of December were confined, the majority spread in every direction in search of plunder. A momentary check, however, was caued by a loud explosion innidc the municipality, and the confusion now increased tenfold by the shrieks of the prisoners in that building. It soon appeared that the conservatives, anticipating the probability of defeat, had determined to blow up the magazine and bury themselves and their adversaries in the ruins. Most fortunately for the town, only a few boxes of cartridges ignited; still the shock blew out one bide 6f the municipality, causing the death of the reckless partisan who deliberately fired the train. "As these events were taking place. General Pena rode in after his men. Like them he was the worse for drink, and now he deliberately ordert d the town to be sacked, giving his banditti five hours license to slay, to rob, and to outrage the defenseless inhabitants. It is needless to say his orders were but too enthusiastically obeyed." Robert Buchanan has in preparation a longer and more ambitious poem than he has heretofore attempted.

converse with distant was instantly adjusted.

A STKIGGLE IX JIID-AIK.

Terrible Fish Between it Merchant ami a Thief on the Roof of a Three Story Wirrbontr, The Detroit Free Press has a sensational story about a thrilling adventure undergone by a merchant of that city. On leaving his store at night, he thought he smelt cigar smoke, and made a hasty search, but found no one. On thinking over the matter after reaching home, he was still uneasy and a remark made by his wife increased his fears. So he determined to return to the store. On doing so, and finding everything all right on the outside, he hesitated alout going in. After a moment he saw a policeman a block and a half away, and he unlocked the door, passed in and struck a light. The odor of cigar smoke was strong enough now so that there could be no doubt. The merchant had no firearms, and as he looked up the dark stairway he picked up the coal shaker for a weapon. He heard no noise on the second tloor. Iiis wife's words forced him to ascend the next flight of atairv. There were but few goods on the third floor, and sometimes it is not visited for two days at a time. K very thing seemed to be all right, but as the merchant cast his eyes aloft he saw that the scuttle hole in the roof was open. A ladder led to the roof as a fire escape, and one could traverse a whole block on the roofs. The man placed his light on the floor and ascended the ladder, thinking perhaps some careless hand had left the scuttle open. He bad not the least fear now, and went boldly ahead. The door was thrown back on the roof, so that he must needs go clear up. As he stepped out on the roof and rose up, he staggered or slipied, and this fact saved his life. A jwwerful blow from a club just missed his head, and so great had been the force exerted by the striker that the club Mew from his hands ind rolled along the graveled roof to the water trough. The slip, the blow and the discovery that there was a stranger on the roof were made at the same instant, and before the merchant had fairly straightened up the assassin had clutched his throat and bent him over on the roof. The wonder is that the sudden surprise did not entirely unman the citizen, who is over fifty years old, and has had little or no physical exercise for years. But he seemed to realize everything in an instant, and as he was bent backwards upon the roof he began a fight for life. Neither he nqr the assassin will ever fully realize the peril of the next fifteen minutes. The merchant threw up his hands and caught the fellow by the hair, and hid sudden jerk was followed "by an exclamation of pain. The robber broke his hold and started as if he would escape, but the other had onlv reached Ins feet when the fellow returned to the attack. They clinc hed each other without a word. The assassin was the stronger, but the merchant the more agile. They were below the scuttle, and naturally worked toward the eaves. Indeed, the straneer soon betrayed the fact that it was Iiis plan to throw the merchant into the alley. He could pick him up, but as he attempted to move along the merchant would trip his legs. They struck each other with their fists they seized new' holds they strained every nerve for an advantage, and twice they rolled over and over on the roof. All this without a word. One did not dare raise a cry. and the other kne w that his life depended on his own desperate efforts. At one time the two men stood on the very edge of the roof, straining and tugging. If one went the other must go, and after a glimpse into the dark alley below they both instinctively drew back. The assassin now began to breathe heavily, as if losing his wind, and the merchant forced the fight. Had he been a little stronger he might have low, as he tripped captured the felhim twice in succession, but could not hold him down. As they were struggling up from the last fall the merchant received a blow in the throat, and that for a moment made him weak and almost helpless. This opportunity was seized by the assassin to escape. He ran off over the roof, but which way can not be told, as the merchant was almost in a faint. It was a full half hour before be was able to leave the store, and then a private watchman called a carriage for him. It was found that the scuttle cover had been forced up with an Iron bar, and it was plain enough that the robber was coolly smoking his cigar on the third floor 'when the second floor was first searched. He was very likely in the office on the ground floor when the merchant first rattled the door. As there was but one man the public may wonder, merchant does not It is said he i certain of the identity of the The that robber. who is. others say, a relative and employed in the store until a few days ago. That he did not murder the merchant is no word in his favor. He meant to doit, but pluck and strength deserted him at the same time. His victim is badly bruised and battered, and will not be out of bed for a week. His clothing was so torn in the conflict that the entire suit was rendered useless for f ur'ther wear, while a valuable watch was pulled out of its pocket and crushed under their feet. A. MYSTERIOUS MAIL IIA. It Disappeared While Crossing the Ohio at C'lnrlnnatl and 35,000 With It. Cincinnati F.nquircr. mysterious mail robbery has come to light. A mail bag of letters containing. among other things, about $25,000 worth of bank checks and private drafts, which left theNewiKjrt post office on the 22d of last month, somewhere between Newport and Cincinnati was opened and its contents abstracted. The mail bag empty was duly returned to Newport, but its valuable contents were never heard from. There has been a decided effort made to keep the matter bushed up and out of the ears pf the newspaper reporters, and for a time it lias been a successful one. The robbery was not discovered until last Friday, although committed two weeks ago. The lirst intimation that such a thing had occurred was received Friday, with the news that some drafts sent in that mail to New York had never been received there. A further investigation showed that not one letter containing a draft, check or valuable piece of paper had gone through all were swallowed up in a mysterious disappearance. It was then discovered that $2Ti,OUO worth of bank parser, and perhaps more, had gone out in the rapeu mail bag. The first national bank of Covington had over $10,000 worth of checks in the mail, and James Taylor fc Son's bank had a stn1 larger amount in it. It is quite likely that there' was other valuable matter in the bag, although Postmaster Winans insists that there were no registered letters among the mail as it left the office. The chief clerk at the Newport post office seemed inclined to attach but little importance to the matter, and pleaded that it was only one bag of letters that was missing, which reminds us of the unwedded mother who excused her maternity by calling attention to what a tiny baby it was after all. Who is responsible? It is a question not easily answered. We shall trace the bag for a while after it leaves the bands of the Newport post office authorities, and let our readers draw their own conclusions, which they can no doubt do just as well as we can. In the first place it was the 1 noon nx&U of January ' which is miming.

There are two niaita sent out daily one at noon and the other at ( o'clock in the evening. From the fact that the missing letters were mailed in the forenoon of the 221 ult. satisfies Mr. Winans that it was with the noon bag that the mischeif was done. He feels confident that the letters were placed safely in the bag and duly locked up. After the bag leaves the Newport office they leave the care of the Newjort postmaster. And here Mr. V? nans washes his hands of the whole affair. This agent who takes the bag to the train is not supposed to have a key to the sack"; at least the government does not provide one for him. He delivers the hag to the mail agent on the train, whose duty it is to have a key. It is brought across the Ohio in the postal car, and delivered to a man at the Little Miami depot, who is employed to convey it in a wagon to the Cincinnati post office. This man has no right to a key, and it is supposed he has none. He, in turn, dumps the bag into the Cincinnati post oflice, where it is unlocked and distributed with the general mail of the city, and sent hence in various directions to its destinations. It will readily be deduced by all this that the letters must have been missing before they passed into the hands of the distributing ilerk at Cincinnati, for once distributed and mailed in twenty directions, or more perhaps, it would be impossible for only these letters to be lost, none other. The mail bag came back to the Newport oflice empty in the regular time and from it alone there could be had no evidence that it had been tampered with. If the letters were abstracted from the bag a key was used to open it. Postmaster Winans is a cousin by marriage to President Grant that is. his wife is Grant's first cousin. It was this relationship which, no doubt, helped hint to his appointment.

IlEXXFrr IX FI.OKIDA. lie Unbosom Himself to lleportertt There. Jansonville (Florida) Uhlon.j James Gordon Bennett, and fthe friends who were with him. finding that their location at the National hotel had lost its privacy, removed before light yesterday morning to the Carlton house, and there, by previous arrangeniens, the newspaper reporters of this city were admitted to an interview at a late hour. Mr. Bennett was found to occupy very nice rooms in the third story of the Carlton, and was surrounded by various luxuries, the table being loaded with refreshments of various kinds, and with letters and newspapers in huge piles. He seemed in good spirits, and at once placed his visitors at their ease by stating that, however much he might have felt annoyed at the publicity given to his movements, still he recognized the duties which the public had a right to expect, and cherished no enmity against them. He stated that the duel with young May had been forced upon hin, but that he had sought to avoid any personal injury to his opponent, and had come to Florida not so much to escape the punishment for what had been done as to avoid any further difficulty with that hightoned brother of the girl he still loved so dearly; that he had lived in retirement here, awaiting definite news of the actual condition of May, which would determine his future movements, and that he had just received a letter fron? Miss May herself, which informed him that her brother was uninjured. She further said she would sail for Cuba at once, and hoped to meet him in Havana on the ÖOth inst. Mr. Bennett expressed his intention of keeping this appointment at all hazards, and stated that arrangements had been made for his departure at once. At about 2 p. in. Bennett and his four companions went on board a small sail boat in front of the Carlton house, and bidding adieu to our city, departed, intending, as he stated, to intercept some regular steamer on her way to Havana. THE LOST NTKAMF.lt. Fuller IetMil of the Wreck- of the Washington OfT Newfoundland. The telegraph has given some account of the loss of the steamer George Washington, from New York to Halifax, with a crew of 2 men and four or five passengers. A Herald special from St. Johns gives the details as follows: The coastwise steamer Tiger, which arrived last night from the windward, reports that the steamsnip George Washington was lost at French Mistaken Point on Saturday January 20. The wreck was discovered by men from Trepassey Bay. On the 25th, by means of ropes, several men were lowered down a distance of sixty to seventy feet over the face of the cliff tb the water's edge, and there . found, floating in the surf, portions of human bodies.which appeared to have been so mutiljted and broken upon the rocks as to be utterly unrecognizable. One body was marked "X. J. II. S. R. K." Another, supposed to be that of the chief engineer, wore a large gold ring. The collector of customs at Trepassey reports to the receiver general that only a few articles were recovered. These consist of a life buoy and a few pieces of bedding marked "George Washington." The body of a female has been found, supposed to have been the stewardess, and the body of a man, with the figure of a lady on his right arm, holding a bunch of flowers. On the left arm was the 'figure of a bird. No portion of the steamer was visible. There is no possibility of visiting the scene of the wreck by boat. The gulch is surrounded by overhanging cliffs. Fifteen bodies have been recovered and interred. A letter from Trepasey, dated February 3. says that the . bodies of a man and of a woman, supposed to have been the stewardess, have been recovered, rescued since those previously reported, making a total of 15 bodies and portions of bodies, legs and arms, picked up along the water line. All were interred. The men were lowered down over the face of the cliff and hauled in the remains with gaffs. It was shocking to see the limbless bodies washed about among the rocks.

If tke truth were known it would be found that scores and hundreds of parents were eager that somebody would steal at least half their small boys. Are they not the crowning family nuisance?

SENTINEL

PROSPECTUS FOR 1877. The Sentinel. Every reading and thinking man in the stot who can fford to take a newspaper ought to subscribe for at least one of the editions of the Sentinel. Farmers, Merchants asd Law ties, without respect to party, particularly stand in need of it, for. In addition to Its political and literary merits, the Sentinel 1 confessedly the Commercial Paper of Indiana. Indeed, it la hardly too mach to say that it Market Reports are fuller and more accurately complied, and its monetary and general boslr ness articles abler and more thoroughly treated than .those of any paper In the central west. Its Snpreme Court Reports can but commend it to the legal fraternity throughout the state, for they embrace a moat careful digest of the pertinent point of every decision rendered in oar Supreme Court. The public Is familiar with the Politleal Opinions and Convictions of this paper, but It may not be amies to plainly avow them here. As the advocate of Honestt and EooNOJiT in the administration ol the national and state governments an- as the uncompromising enemy oi nepotism and despotism, of chicanery, frauds and rln us. win lever they may be found, the "eut wl. continue to be KearleMS und Outspoken Upon Principle. And this with special reference to the section al issues before the eople. Conceived for the fell purpose o. iKRPKTUATiio Misrule thee are kept alive by tandering to the vilest passions 01 menavance and hate. The time has come when reason should no longer grope around In the dark, blind-folded by malignant prejudices The hour Is approaching when It will no longer be profitable To Pollute the Political Atmosphere with the foul brent h of slander. That the people are awakening to the tact that we are brethren one people "Worshipping one Ood, sharing one hope and awaiting one common destiny. , The Bnsliieos Interests o tue country, the social Interests, the politics, interests; these are, when Impartially considered, all identical! roni Maine to Florida from Plymouth Rock to the Pacific slope. The Equality of States under the constitution, and of citizens before the law, and the patriotic spirit of fraternity strengthening and Inspiring all to these the Sentlnelholl in the future as in the past, hopefully and persistently point as the props of constitutional liberty the pillaks or publican institutions. The Sentinel, ho ever, does not propose to confine Itself to expounding and advocating True Democracy, but will earnestly endeavor to promote sound culture as well as to advocate soand doctrine In Its editorial department it hopes' to prove worthy, to the limit of Its ability, of the great principles it espouses, and equal to Its wide field and large purposes. The News Column will be carefully edited, so as to give its readers the benefit of whatever is new and interesting not only in national and state politics, but in trade, commerce, literature, science and art. Among other things it will contain all the Latent News from Washington, where it will keep a regular correspondent during the Intensely exciting session of Congress which Is about to begin. It will also contain the fullest and most reliable reports Or LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS In UÜS City during the coming winter. The Weekly Sentinel The Weekly Sentinel will be In many respects an epitome of the Dally, championing the same cause, and aiming to fill the same wants of the general reader, but it will be prepared with special reference to the character or rrs circulation. In every respect It will be the best weekly we can make, and we think It will more than Compare Favorably with any weekly circulating in the state of Indiana. It will contain our ablest editorials upon current political events and other topics of Interest, and will be Newsy, Literary, -and full of entertaining and Instructive miscellany, and more particularly adapted to the family circle. Its splendid market report will continue to be a leading feature, and, for this reason alone, no farmer should be without It. The Sunday Sentinel. The 8unday Sentinel has had an unparalleled growth in the last few months, and has In every way met with the most gratifying success. It enjoys a field all rrs own, bring the only English paper published at the capital on Its publication day. Bearing this fact In mind, the management has determine! to make the Sunday Issue of the Sentinel sanewhat specially Adapted to Its Peenliar Sltnatloa, Its large and weekly Increasing circulation among all parties; in a word, to male it less political and more newsy and social, salted to the fireside. It will aim at higher literary MERIT wltheut being blue, and contain all the latest telegraphic and local lewa without being sensational. The reader wll be hard to please who falls to find twice th worth or his money In the Sunday SenflneL. The advantages It offers to advertisers an too manifest to need particularizing.
