The WEEKLY Sun.
171G. NEW YORK 1876.

Eighteen hundred and seventy-six is the
Centennial year. Ii is also the year in which
an Opposition House Of Representatives, the
first since the war, will be III power at WASH
ington and the year of the twenty-third
election Of a President of the United States.
All of these events are sure TO be of great III
terest and importance, especially the two
after ; and ali of them and everything con-
nected with them will be fully and freshly
reported and expOunded in The Sun.
The Opposition House sof Representatives,
taking up the line of inquiry opened years
ago in The Sun, will sternly and diligently
investigate the conuptions and misdeeds OF
Grants administration and will, it is hop.
ed, lay the foundation for new and better
period in our national history. OF all this
The Sun will contain complete and accurate
accounts furnishing its readers with early
and trustworthy information upon these
absorbing topics.
The twenty-third Presidential election
with the preparations for it, will be memoir
able as deciding upon Grants aspirations for
third term of power and plumber, and still
more as deciding who shall be the candidate
of the party of Reform, and as electing that
candidate. Concerning all these sub It's,
those who read The Sun will have the con-
stan, means of being thoroughly well inform.
ed.
The WEEKLY Sun, which has attained a
circulation OF over eighty thousand copies,
already has its readers in every State and
Territory, and we trust that the year 1876 will
see their numbers doubled. 1t will continue
to be q thorough newspap per. All the general
news of the day will be found in it condensed
when unimportant, at full length when of
moment and always, we trust, treated in =
clear, Intei esting and instructive manner.
1t is our aim to make the Weekly Sun the
best family newspaper in the world, and we
shall continue to give in its columns large
amount ,of miscellaneous reading, such rs
stories, tales, poems, scientific teligence
and agricultural information, for which we
are not able to make room in our daily edi

ions are also regularly reportedin its columns,
and so are the markets Of every Kind.
The Weekly Sum- eight pages with fifty-six
broad columns, is only Si.2O a year, postage

Comfort Of the Cow.

AT a late Dairy Convention at FL
gin, ILL.,, President Faville made the
following remarks on taking care Of
cows:
am not going into the detail Of the
care of dairy COWS, but will lay down
one general principle. This, | think,
if carried out IN the minutia, will Sc
cure the desired end. The principle
is this:-In everything consult, so far
as possible, the comfort of the COW.
Let all the arrangements that apper-
tam to her keeping, such as food,
drink. shelter, treatment and general
management, be such as shall tend to
her comfort and qniet; then, and not
till then, can we reasonably look for
the best results. The question of Iced
for the dairy COW is so important that
trust you will pardon me for taking
time to urge it upon your attention.
Breed is important, but feed is more
so. Persons about engaging in dairy
ing look over the reports from this
Association, or read the reports from
some dairy in the agricultural papers.
They see so many cows kept, and
from them so much money made, and
they seem to forget all the rest. They
60 on and get the required number of
COWS, and when the end Of the year
GENES they are obliged to divide the
profits by two, for the reason that they
have not we'll considered the business
in all its detail. Many men Il will
not say dairymen) seem to think any
thing is good enough for Il COW, the
warm side Of a rail fence good enough
shelter, and chance to feed at the
straw-stack, with an occasional dress.
ing of marsh hay and 4 chance to run
In the standing corn stalks, good
enough care and feed for the COW.
They seem to feel that grain fed to
cows is almost thrown away. The
horses and hogs must have all the
grain, and leave the COWS to tuke care
of themselves. These are, in my
opinion, very mistaken notions, for it
costs only little more to keep COW
we'll than in the manner l have de-
scribed. Indeed, it costs only little
more to keep a COW upon grain than
upon hay. Example 1t will take
one acre of good grass to furnish win
ter fodder for a COW. The same acre,
if planted to corn and properly cult
waited, will not only furnish grain
enough, if fed with the stalks in the
winter and the pasturage in summer,
to give us good flow of milk during
ing the entire milking season, while
the hay would have done little more
than sustain the animal life. The diff
ference of cost, then, in the two meth
DDS of feeding, is the difference of ex-
pense in raising an acre of grass and
an acre of corn. We have the same
investment for land, and it is only the
difference in labor, and when we strike
the balance between the cost and prof
it, we shall find large balance in ia
vor Of the grain.

RISING IN LIFE.-Those persons
who have attained to eminence in any
vocation of life have followed one uni
torn course--that of hard, earnest
work and unwearied application.
None are truly happy but those who
are busy -; for the only real happiness
lies in useful work of some kind, eth
er of the hand Or of the head, So long
as over-exertion of either is avoided.
1t should be the aim Of every one to
be constantly employed. If all men
and women were kept at some useful
employment there would be less sor-
row and wickedness in the world and
if so called "reformers' would spend
their time in efforts to make people
more industrious they would have less
leisure to conceive and agitate those
exatious questions and impracticable

PAY CASH. I'VE strongly advise
that every woman should pay ready
money for every article of dry goods.
1t is an Invaluable check upon the
purchase of unnecessary or extrava-
giant articles. Running up bills is a
most dangerous thing to do. Es.
pecially should the cash system be
adhered to in paying for work done,
both in justice to those you employ
and in justice to yourself Ifyou pay
well and promptly you are in a posi-
ton to insist upon having your work
done we'll and promptly and you
should do so. If ladies would never
employ second time those who light
ly promise work for a definite time
and as lightly fail to have it done,
there would soon be an END to the in
territorial deception practised by SO
many dressmakers, milliners, shoe.
makers, and others who undertake
work. - From "Dress and Health"

As the controversy upon the matter has
reached point OF bitterness almost threat

say that the confusion of dates in regard to
the Mecklenburg resolutions or Declaration
= very readily accounted for.
The GregOrian Calender was adopted by
the nations OF continental Europe in the year
i5>2 but England was slow TO accept ii. and
Il was rot adopted bv that nation until 115l.
North Carolina had not heard of the change
effected in the Roman calender up to the
time OF the Mecklenburg meeting: therefore,

they were holding a meeting on the goth of

been sent on to the Continental Congress. the
cate o. the meeting at which they were
adopted was made, in more enlightened re-
siOc, to conform to the calender of the more
enlightened states and nations of the civil
lied world. The resolutions of May 3Ist are
consequently the only genuine resolutions

five. When tobacco of three or four kinds
packed in the same hogshead is received at any
of the Maryland warehouses, it is always repre-
sented in the most careful manner by the in
spectors. Tobacco is frequently received in
our warehouses falsely packed in the hogsheads
by the planters, and the advantage of the
twenty breaks in Europe over the five in Mary
land is again apparent, rs the false packing
would be more certain to be detected in Europe
than in America.
Whenever complaint has come under the
notice of the Supervisor he has always adjust
ed the difficulty between the Inspectors and the
merchants by allowing proper draw backs, for
which the State has to settle. Another COM
mon occurrence is for samples to be tempered
with after they leave the warehouses, often to
the extent of from eight to ten leaves out of a
bundle, and this escapes the notice of merchants
in purchasing
In regard to the charge that the State ware
houses have been used for political purposes,
the fact is that there were fewer men employed
in them during the late election than during
any similar occasion for number of years
past. There never was at any time a holiday
or election where notes had been received the
evening before for tobacco that it was not
shipped the next morning, or on the day re-
quired for such. shipment, except upon the
legal holidays.
Complaints between the foreign merchants
and shippers in regard to the quality of tobacco
exported are by no means confined to Maryland
but are made in all States, North and East,
whose inspections are made in similar man
ner TO those here.-BaH. Gazette.

The Right Thing To Do.

We are glad to learn that Mr.. Wallis
has notified the Governor that it is his
purpose to contest the election of Mr..
Gwinn, as Attorney General. There has
been great deal of talk about the cleo
ton frauds in Baltimore city, but as most
of it has been done by the American we
have not believed in it. But this looks
like business, and we sincerely hope that
the Governor will investigate the matter
thoroughly, and if frauds have been per.
petrated as charged, that the election will
be declared invalid. AS much as We
should hate to see the State handed ovel
to Radical rule, that is better than that
itshould be governed by fraud. Asmuch
and as deeply as we should feel that the
State was disgraced by having ]. Morrison
Harris as her Chief Executive, that is even
better than that she should be ruled by 6
Governor who was the offspring of fraud
and fraud himself, and least of all ought
that fraud to be the descendant of one o.
our Revolutionary fathers. So we say in
the name of decency and propriety, now
that responsible gentleman like Mr.
Wallis has come forward and made this

mature and pass this wise legislation, and
give quiet and stability to the business of
the country, it is necessary for them to be
prudent in the beginning. The first step
the House will be called on to takc-the
election OF Speaker-will be looked to
with great interest throughout the coun-
try and probably will settle the question,
whether we shall have favorable legisla-
ton this winter or not If the Speaker. is
an uncompromising hard money Democrat
he will so form his committees as'to secure
the passage of Il measure for the speedy
resumption of specie payments. A hostile
committee can prevent any such legisla-
ton. We do not want any compromise,
but fair and square resumption measure,
and this can only be secured by the cleo
ton of an unequivocal hard-money man.
The two most prominent candidates
spoken of for this position are Mr.. Randall,
of Pennsylvania, and the Hon. NJ. c. Kerr,
of Indiana. Either of these gentlemen
would make most excellent presiding
officer, but of the two, we should decided
lily prefer Mr.. Kerr. We think he is a
better man in every respect, and his re-
cord is better than that of Mr.. Randall.
The former is a Free-Trade, Hard Money
Democrat. whilst the latter belongs to the
Pennsylvania school of Democracy, which
believes in soft money and protection to
our opinion. an insuperable objection to
Mr. Randall in the fact that he is salary
grabber Doubtless he thinks his services
were worth the money and perhaps they
may have been, but the mode in which
that measure was passed must ever make
it and all connected with it odious in
public estimation. There are other gen.
tlemen spoken of for this position, such as
s. S. Cox, of n. Y, and Judge Payne, of
Ohio, whose election would be triumph
in favor of Hard Money, but, the contest
seems to be pretty much narrowed down
to the two first named, and We sincerely
hope that Mr.. Kerr will be elected-and
we expect the whole of the Maryland de-
legation will sustain him: nor indeed do
we see how they can fail to do so in the
face of the Hard Money platform so unan-
imously adopted by our last State Con-
vention
