THE WEEKLY SUN.
i776. NEW YORK. 1875.

Eighteen hundred and seventy-six is the
Centennial year. 1t is also the year in which
an Opposition House OF Representatives., the
first since the war, will be in power at WASH
ington; and the year OF the twenty third elec-
JiOn OF a President OF the United States. All
of these events are sure to be OF great interest
and Importance, especially the two latter; and
all of them and everything connected with
expounded in THE SUN.
The Opposition House OF Representatives,
taking up the line Of inquiry opened years ago
by TIE Sun, will sternly and diligently IN
Grants administration; and will, il is to be
hoped, lay the foundation for new and bet
ter 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 abb
sorbing topics.
The twenty third Presidential election, with
the preparations for 1t, will be memorable as
deciding upon GRANTS aspirations for third
term OF power and plunder. and still more as
deciding who shall be the candidate OF the
party OF Reform, and as electing that candi-
date. Concerning all these subjects, those
who read THE SUN will haye. the constant

Ammonia and Flowers.

An article in the French Journal Of
Horticulture presents the interesting
results Of experiments undertaken to
test the effect Of ammonia upon the col.
ors of flowers. Prof. Gobba, the observ-
er, poured small quantity of aqua
ammonia into dish, over which he
placed a funnel. Inserting into the
tube of this the flowers to be operated
upon, he found those tinted blue, violet,
and purple, were changed to beauti-
full green; those tinted with deep car
mine were changed to black; while flow
ers OF pure white were turned yellow,
etc.
Thus fuschias, having white and red
posure to the ammonia, yellow, blue and
green. BY immersing these flowers in
water at the conclusion of the expert
ment, they retained their new colors for
several hours, after which they gradu.
ally resumed their original hues. Prof.
Gobba discovered in the course of his
experiments that asters, which natural
ly have no fragrance. acquired a de-
lighttuI perfume under the influence OF
ammonia.
He also found that violet asters turned d
red when moistened with diluted solu-
tion Of nitric acid, and that the same
flowers, when exposed in an open box to
the vapor of hYdro-chloric acid, became
after some hours a beautiful carmine
red, which they preserved If dried in the
dark and kept in dry, dark place.
Prof. Gobba was led to these expert.
ments by observing that violet flowers
assume tint OF green when exposed to
the smoke OF cigar, a result owing to
the presence Of ammonia in the smoke.
The nature Of theso experiments ls so
simple that they may easily be repeated,
aud auy amateur may procure the pleas
urs Of periuming them.

A truly temperate man living in Pe-

other day, there being sickness III the

the store where he had purchased it,
complaining that the blamed old thing
wouldn't work. Tue yender said that
was impossible, and asked him what
sortof a.c.hoi he put in the cup. Tne

. SOME of the Eastern papers are ago.
nizing over the dangers that are beset-'
ting the Supreme Court of the United
States. 1t seems that while the suit be-
tween the Pacific Railroad Co. and the
Government was pending, and before
the Court had announced their decision,
as recently reported, the Judges all
dined with the counsel for the Railroad.
And this circumstance has excited a de-
gree Of alarm in the minds OF New York
editors that amounts to almost panic.
We, out West, certainly do
not sympathize in that alarm.
Whatever light consideration may
be sufficient to weigh down the
integrity of those panicky editors,
we,do not believe that the U. s. Supreme
Court is to be bought up by dinner.
Lfa good dinner is sufficient grounds for
those editors alarm, we must inter that,
with them, such things are very rare
and very highly priced. But such a
matter as a dinner may not be so un-
common nor so precious among the
Judges of the Supreme Court as to over
come their judicialintegrity. We would
advise those alarmists in New York to
reconsider their structures upon this
topic, and not fancy the heavens dis
solved because of such an event as TAX
ing sociable dinner.

THE question is frequently pro-
pounded as to whittier Tweed could fly
for safety from a requisition from the
United States. There are several places
on the face of the earth yet, where he
would be free from arrest, and which he
would probably prefer to the penlten-
tiary. For instance, wo have no extra
dition treaties with Spain, nor with
Belgium covering such otfenses as his.
So that even in Cuba the Boss might
pass the winter very pleasantly; and il
not suited with that climate, Brussels
might be found wholesome and agree
able to the ''great unjugged."

THE telegraph rather startled the
country the other day by announcing
that Mr.. Beecher had said that "When
Plymouth Church Is assaulted, she will
always throw out her tangs." We
thought, ON seeing this remarkable

of rhetoric as Mr.. Beecher is. and con-
cluded that il Plymouth Church or any
other church had any "fangs," they had
better get some dentistry done without
delay. But it now turns out that the
sentence should have read, "throw out
her dag,"-not fangs. Telegraph did it.

IT rs reported that Tweed said that
he wouldn't mind the officials who
guarded him; he could buy them off at
once and forever. But it was his law
yers who were running him. They were
never satisfied. One payment was but
a prelude TO two more. So he would be
compelled to run away in order to es-
cape from his lawyers. And away he
went.

Academy was opened last Monday, by
Can't. Marsh, under very promising
auspices. See his advertisement.
On the same day that accomplished

re-opened her school.

hotel is being thoroughly repaired, re.
painted and re-papered, and the an

enterprising lessee and proprietor,
James A. Kinder, is sparing no efforts
nor expense to make the hotel and
saloon attractive, .E.r
The Concert on the night of the 2Ist
ult., for the benefit of the Catholic
church, was by long odds the best dis
play of vocal and instrumental music
ever offered in Lake Charles. There
were sixteen performers, twelve of
whom were children of Capt. and Mrs.
Daniel Coos, and there was a CLEAN of
honest pride in the old captains eye as
he brought his twelve children (he has
four more living, who were absent, to
front face, " and stepping as lightly to
the front of the platform as if he were
one of the twelve, he introduced them
simultaneously to the audience. A
cabinet organ, piano, violin and guitar,
furnished the instrumental music. The
programme, in it's selection and execu-
tion, would have been creditable to
professional city orchestra, and COM
prised twenty pieces, every one of
which was nI0Tceaw.
Where each performer was so ad-
miroble in bis and her performance, we
can not justly pnrticularize without a
more extended notice than our space
affords yet we feel That VIC will offend
none and CRAFTY all who were present,
by expressing our special admiration Of
the exquisite violin performances of
Mr.. Franz Hortzig, whose wonderful
execution on that favorite instrument

prolonged applause, tLeir enjoyment of
