hope that so simple and humane a

NEW YORK

Eighteen hundred and scvcnty-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 twensy-third
election If President Of the United States.
All of these events are sure TO be Of great M
tcrcst and Importance, especially the two
after and ali OF them and everything con-
nectcd with them will be fully and freshly
reported and cXpounded in The sun.
The Opposition House Of Representatives,
taking up the line of inquiry opened years
ago in The Sun, will stcrnIy and diligently
investigate the corruptons and misdeeds OF
Grants administrat 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
AMI trustworthy information upon these
absorbing topics.
The twcnty-third Presidential election,
with the preparations for it, will be memoir
able ~ deciding upon Grants aspirations for
a third term Of power and plumber, and still
more as deciding who shall be the candidate
of the party Of Reform, and as elccting that
candidate. Concerning all these subjects,
those who read The Sun will have the con-
slant means of being thoroughly well inform
ed.
The WEEKLY Sun, which has attained II
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 u thorough newspaper. 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 4
clear, inter esting and instructive manner.

A woMAN'S QUESTION.

DO you know you have asked for the
coStliest thing
Ever made by the hand above.
A woman's heart and woman's life,
And a woman s wonderful love ?
DO you know you have asked for this
priceless thing
AS Il child might ask for Il toy ?
Demanding what others have died to win
With the reckless dash of boy.
You have written my lesson Of duty out,
Manlike you questioned me
Now stand at the bar of my woman's soul
Until I,shall question thee.
You require your mutton shall always be
hot,
Your socks and your shirts shall be
whole;
require your heart shall be true as Gods
stars,
And pure as heayen your soul.
You require cook for your mutton and
beef;
Irequre far better thing;
A seamstress you are wanting for stock
ings and shirts
look for a man and king.
A king for beautiful realm called home,
And man that the maker, God,
Shall look upon as he did the first,
And say, sit is very good"
/ am fair and young, but the rose will fade
From my soft, young cheek one day,
Will you love me then, mid the falling
leaves.
AS you did mid the bloom of May ?
Is your heart an ocean so strong and deep
may launch my all on it's tide?
A loving woman finds heaven or hell
On the day she is made bride.

All things that man should be-
lfyou give this all would stake my life
TO be all you demand of me.

But womanS heart and woman's life
Are not to be won that way.

A Man in Tennessee Who Has
Never Stopped Growing.

John Homer is citizen of Perry
County, Tenn, one of family of
eight children, none of whom had ex
hibted any unusual traits. At eight.
cen years he was well-grown man,
six feet high, and weighed 100 pounds
At twenty -one he was SIX inches tall
er, and weighed 210 pounds. He
ceased to notice any growth after that
until he was twenty-four years old,
and then only by the smallness Of his
clothes, and he then measured in his
stockings six feet nine inches. Since
then-he is now thirty one years of
age-he has attained the height OF
seven feet nine inches, and IS still
growing, this being an increase of
about two inches annually. Some
years he grew more, and some less,
out this is his average.
A correspondent who visited this
giant says: "After greeting, the OBJ
ject of our visit was stated, and the
giant seemed rather fattered that we
had come to visit HIM. He was evil
IDENTITY good natured, and was, l after
ward learned, quite a fovorite in the
nelghborhood. He showed us a place
on the wall where his various meas.
urements had been marked with
chalk, and the date of each measure
was opposite, rudely but plainly
marked. The first and lowest was
when at eighteen years of age it was
six feet, and then at twenty.one it was
as before stated The marks were
from half inch to an inch apart, the
last having been taken about two
months previous. At my request he
stood up, and l accurately measured
him, and found within the two
months past he had increased his
height just one-half inch, which |
noted on the wall in pencil, with the
date July "a, 1875. He rolled up his
pantaloons, and his shanks were sim
ply immense, and his knee joints were
extremely large and bullying. | took
a careful measurement of his various
lengths. His lead to top of shoulders,
was eight inches; from shoulders to
the hip joint, two feet three inches !;
thence to center of knees, two feet
two and one Ealf inches thence to
the floor, two feet and eight inches,
making the enormous aggregate Of
seven feet nine and one.half inches.
From the shoulders to the tip of his
fingers was four feet six inches What
magnificent specimen of humanity
he would have been had he been pro-
portionaly large. But truth compels
me to different version. In fact he
was as if made of india.rubber,
stretched out to a huge length, He
ought to have weighed at least 300
pounds, but he weighed only 23a
pounds. In consequence of this want
of conformity he was excessively awk-
ward, lank and gawky. Only one
quality did he possess in large de.
gree, and that was his ability to walk.
He could stoop forward at heavy an
gle and start off in his awkward shut
fling gait, that rivaled any horse. He
thought nothing Of walking to Lin
den, twelve miles, and back to dinner.
"He is, as before stated, thirty-one

In Mexico. it is the custom tOl
the clergy to require a foreigner, wish,
ing to marry a native, to bring proof
that he is not already d married man.
IN American about to marry a senior
ita of very good family, was required
to furnish the proof Of his being Il
bachelor. Not finding any Of his
countrymen who knew him sufficient
ly well to testify to this fact, he de
termined to supply the deficiency with
the oath Of 4 native. Meeting Mex
lean in the street. whom he had never
seen before, our countryman proposed
to him that he should swear to his be-
ing unmarried, for the consideration
of five dollars. The senior, after a
few moments study, hit upon an ex-
pedient which is worthy of being
chronicled. Said he, Get down on
your hands and knees and creep
about" Not exactly understanding
what he was at, our friend obeyed,
much to the detriment Of his unmen-
tlonables. The other party then told
him he was all right; that he would
swear the American had not been
married since he knew him, and that
was since the time he crept. And

they will reduce the inflammation and stop the
