THE SUN FOR 1881.

Everybody reads The SUN. In the editions
of this newspaper throughout the year to
come everybody will iind
1. All the worlds news, so presented that
the reader will get the greatest amount Of In
formation with The least expenditure of time
and eyesght THE Sun long ago discovered
the golden meaning between redundant full.
ness and unsatisfactory brevity.
IL Much of that sort ofnews which depends
less upon its recognised Importance than up
on its interest to mankind. From morning to
morning TPB SUN prints continued story OF
the lives of real men and women, and Of their
deeds, plans, loves, hates and troubles. This
story is more varied nd more interesting than
any romance that was ever devised.
III. Good writing in every column, and
freshness, originality, accuracy and decorum
in the treatment OF every subject.
~. Honest comment. THR suns habit Is
to speak out fearleBsly about men and things.
V. Equal candOr in dealing with each poli-
tical party, and equal readiness to commend
what is praisewOrthy or to rebuke what is
blamable In Democrat or Republican.
vi. Absolute independence OF partisan or
ganizatiOns, but unwavering loyalty to true
Democratic principles. The SUN believes
that the Government which the Constitution
gives us is good one to keep. Its notion OF
duty is TO resist to its utmost power the efforts
of men in the Republican party to set up
another form of government in place OF that
which exists. The year 1881 and the years
Immediately following will probably decide
this supremely important contest The SUN
believes that the victCry will be with the peo.
pie as against the Rings for monopoly, the
Rings for plunder, and the Rings for imperi-
al power.

His Last Cent.

asked an inn e'unious looking fel-
low of Boston tobacco man, yes
terday. "Yos," replied the tobac-
con;st, and he placed a handful on
the showcase for the man-whose
clothing showed that he had
sqnandered his summer, if not all
his earnings--to select from. Run
ming his eyes over the lot and
without being satisfied, he asked
for ten cent ones. The latter did
not tickle his fancy; and assuming
airs of an Astor, he boldly enquir-
ed for fifteen cent ones. Select
ing one, he poised it between his
fingers, and with tie tone of a
played out insurance solicitor ask
ed: "Would you take mans last
cent for cigari' The unsuspect-
ing merchant replied that he would ;
and that settled the bargain, for the
customer placed one cent on the
showcase, bit the small end of the
Havana, applied the torch, and
leisurely strolled out, putting his
high-toned cigar.

Electric Light.

A new kind of electric light,
lately experimental upon at Berlin,
on the roof of the Siemen-Halske
works in that city, proved so sue
cessful that ordinary writing could
he read at the distance of a mile.
When the light was thrown to-
wards the clouds, by means of a
mirror, there appeared luminous
train thereon, which much resem-
bled the tail Of a comet, and drew
together great crowds of specta-
tors in the streets. Signals made
by the instrument were also re-
peated upon the clouds, becoming
thus visible at very great dis
tance. The experiments were
made in the presence of a large
number of artillery and other
branches of the government SER
vice, and were continued for near
ly two hours. The instrument,
which is provided with locomo-
tive engine, is to be set up in the
Tegel artillery polygon for further
experiment, the German War De-
partment intending to purrha,e
several Of the machines for military
use, both afoat aud ashore.
