NEW OKK, lb2.
Tub Hun for 1H83 will make Its fifteenth annual
revolution under the present management, shlu.
lug, as always, for all, nig and little, mean and
gracious, contented and unhappy, ltepubllcan
and Democratic, depraved and virtuous, Intel!!
gent and obtuse. Tub Sun's light Is for mankind
uud womankind of every sort; but Its genial
warmth is for the good, while It pours hotdlHCom
fort on the blistering backs of the persistently
wicked.
Tub Sun or 1SC.S was a newspaper of anew kind.
It discarded many of the forms, and a multitude
of the snperlluous words and phrases of ancient
Journalism. It undertook to report In a fresh,
succinct, unconventlonalway all the news of the
world, omitting no event of human Interest, and
commenting upon affairs with the fearlessness of
absolute Independence. The success of tills ex
periment wis the success of Tub sun. Itetlected
a permanent change In the style nf American
newspapers. Every important Journal established
In tills country In the dozen years past lias been
modelled after Thb Sun. Every Important Jour
nal already existing has been modified ana bet
tered bv the force of Tub Sun's example.
Tub Sun ofl8H2 will be the same outspoken,
truth telling, axd interesting newspaper.
By a liberal use of the means which an abund
ant prosperity ailords, we shall make It better
Chan ever before.
We shall print all the news, putting It Into read
able shape, and mea'iirlug its imporiance, not by
the traditional yardstick, but by its real Interest
to the people. Distance Irom Printing House
Square Is not the first consideration with Tub
Sun. Whenever anything happens worth report
ing we get the particulars, whether It happens iu
Brooklyn or in Bukhara.
In politics we have decided opinions; and are
accustomed to express tliem In language that can
be understood. We uv what we think about men
and events. That habit U the only secret ot Tub
Sun's political course.
Thb Weekly Sun gathers Into eight pages the
best matter of the seveu daily Issues. An Agri
cultural Department of unequalled merit, lull
market reports, and a liberal proportion of litera
ry, scientlnc, and domestic Intelligence complete
the Weekly Sun. and make It the best newspa
per 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 aGolcouda
of Interesting literature, with the best poetry ot
the day, prose every line worth reading, news,
humor matter enough to till a good-sized book,
and infinitely more varied and entertaining than
any book, big or little?
If your Idea of what a newspaper should be
pleases you, send for The Sun.
Our terms are as follows:
For the dally Sun, a four-page sheet of twenty
eight columns, the price by mail, post paid. Is ai
cents a month, or J 50 a year; or, including the
Sunday paper, an eight-page sheet of fltty-slx col

Ha Bet the Showman.
The other day a show came to Little
Hottk mid WW) shamefully lmjiosed upon
by Uncle Isom. While Btantling near
the tent lie sawfe crowd of low-iplrltetl
boys grieving on account of financial
(IcpreRfilun.
" Does yer youngsters wauter go Inlef
der showl"' he asked.
The boys reknonded In uolsy chorous.
" Well, come on, den, I usler be n
chile myself, an' unlike mos' ob men, 1
hal n 't forgot li 1 1. Cou n t dose boys," he
added, addressing the doorkeeper.
The man began counting, and by the
lime the boys had passed In, Isom was
walking around, talking to acquaint
ances from the plantations.
" Here," said the showman, " give me
twenty tickets." .
"What forV Does yer think me a
lottery agent 1"'
You passed In twenty boys, and I
want the tickets or the money."
" I doan owe yer no tickets, an' I doan
owe yer no money. I didn't tell yer ter
pass de boys In. I said count 'em. 1'se
always beard dat showmen Is good In
'ritbmatio an'I wanted to satisfy myself.
Yer say dat dar wbs twenty boys. I
doan 'spute yer word, case I ain't no
niathmertlcian. B'poseu I take a lot ob
boys ter der cashier ob a bank an' axes
him ter count 'em' does dat signify dat
de cashier Is gwlne ter pass 'em Inter de
money room t No sah. Go back to yer
tent, for I see a crowd goln' In."
The showman, remembering that he
had left the entrance unguarded, turned
when Isom walked away with an agility
rarely exhibited by an old man.
Couldn't Recommend It.
A tall lame negro has been In the
habit for a year past of calling at a Mich
Igan avenue grocery and begging a few
potatoes, a bit of codfish or anything else
likely to be given hrtn. The other day, ,
the grocer took a flour sack and mode up
a mixture of sand, aud when the negro
came around he was almost pulverized to
hear the grocer say : '
"Now, Ham, If you won't come here
again for three months you can shoulder
that sack and take It home."
"Am you In alrnest, boss V"
" Yes. I mean what I say."
" Wall I reckon I'd better cotcu on' to
dat Ihance, an' may de Lawd bress you
fur a hundred yars to come I"
lie shouldered the sack and walked ofl"
and was not seen again for three days.
Then he entered the store with the
remark : ,
"Bay, bogs, I don't mean to comeback
only I want to ax a question."
"Go ahead."
"It's about dat flour you gin me. Ie
ole woman an' me doan't lake the same
view of It. I hold dat It am a new-way
of grindln' up wheat, an' she says It am
new process fur usin' up gravel banks.
Kin you frow any light on de subject 1"'
"It's a new brand of my own," replied
the grocer. " The wheat was raised on
sandy soil. Can you recommend it?"
" N not 'zactly, sah, but if you could
change wld me fur a peck cf beans raised
on a hill side, an' put de ole trees an'
stumps an' stones in one bag an' put de
beans in anodere, it would save a heap o
orgy men t in de family."
0He read In a newspaper paragraph
the statement that " The child is father
to the man," and straightway went and
asked his mother if that was true '
"Yes, my son," she answered, "it may
seem a little strange to you, but it is
true."
"Well, mamma," responded the in
quisitive youth, "why la it if I'm papa's
father that he always licks me and I
never lick him ?"
t3T"I say, Clem," cried two disputing
darkies, appealing for decision to a sable
umpire, which word is right dlzact
y or dezoctly 'iV The sable monarch re
flected for a moment, and then with a
look of wisdom, said, " I can't tell
prezactly."
e"Why did you leave your boarding
place ?" asked a lawyer of a dishonest
witness in a burglar trial. " Because I
couldn't take it with me," was the frank
reply.
