Got More Than he Called For.

How they do it in Louisville. The
following item from the Louisville Med
icdt Ne,Us illustrates one of the ways in
which medicine is practised in that
city:
The other morning, as belated men,
ber of the Owl Club was steering
through the dense fog, which the writer
is reliably informed hangs over the city
at A. NJ, he passed the house of well
known physician. The vestibule of
this residence was open, and on its side
the dim rays of the moon, struggling
through the gloom produced by the
efforts of the city gas company, disclosed
the mouth of an acoustic tube, under
meath which was the inscription,
"Whistle for DIR. Potts"
Not wishing to be disobliging about so
small matter the Owl stumbled up the
steps, and steadying himself against the
wall, blew into the pipe with all the
strength of his lungs.
The physician, who was awakened by
the resultant shrill whistle near his
head, arose; and after wondering at the
singular odor of whiskey in the room
groped his way to the tube and shouted,
Well -
Glad to know you're WE'LL" was the
reply :" but being a doctor, s'pose you
can keep well at cost price, can't you 2"
"What do you want 2" said the man
of pills, not caring to joke in the airy
nothing of his night gown.
WE'LL" said the party at the other
end of the tube, after moments medi-
tation. "Oh, by the way, are you
young Potts or old Potts"
L am DIR. Potts there is no young
Potts.
Not dead, hope ?'
"There never was any. have no
son."
"Then you are young Potts and old
Potts, too. Dear, dear, how singular"
What do you want 2" snapped the
doctor, who was beginning to feel as
though his legs were a pair of elongated
icicles.
You know old Mrs. Peayine, who
lives in the next block 2"
"Yes, is she sick ? What's the mat
ter?"
"Do you know her nephew, too-Bill
Briggs ?"
"Yes. Well?"
Well, he went up to Bridgeport,
shooting, this morning, and
And he had an accident? Hold up
minute. I'll be right down"
"No, he's all right; but he got sixty
two ducks-eighteen of 'em malIards.
thought you might like to hear it,
And the joker hung on to the nozzle
and laughed like hyena digging up

say" came down from the .exas-
perated M. D., that's jolly good Joke,
my friend. Won't you take some
thing 2"
"What ?" said the surprised humor-
its, pausing for breath.
why, take something. Take this"
And before the disgusted funny man
could withdraw his mouth hastily
compounded mixture of ink, ippecac
and asafetida squirted from the pipe
deluged him from head to foot, about
pint monopolizing his shirt-front and
collar.
And while he danced frantically
around, sponging himself off with his
handkerchief, and swearing like pi-
rate in the last act, he could hear an
angel voice from above sweetly muir

night. Come again soon, you funny

TEHE O. UN

THE Sun will deal with thee vents Of
the year 1880 in its own fashion, now
pretty we'll unde stood by everybody.
From January | to December 81 it will
be conducted as newspaper, written in
thu English language, and printed for
the people.
As a newspaper, TEE Sun believes in
getting all the news of the wor ID prompt.
ly, and presenting it in the most intell-
igible shape--the shape that will enable
its readers to keep well ab. east of the age
with the least unproductive expenditure
of time. The greatest interest to the
greatest number--that is the law con-
trolling its daily makeup. 1t now has a
circulation very much larger than that Of
any other American newspaper and en-
joys an income which it is at all times
prepared to spend literally for the benefit
of its readers People Of all conditions of
life and of all ways of thinking buy and
read THE Sun: and they all derive satisfac-
ton OF some sort from its columns, for
they keep on buying and reading it.
In its comments on men and affairs, The
Sun believes that the only guide Of policy
should be common sense, inspired by gen.
uine American principles and backed by
honesty of purpose. For this reason it
is, and will continue to be, absolutely in.
dependent of party, class, clique, organi'
cation, or interest. 1t is for ALL but Of
none. 1t will continue to praise what is
good and rcprobate what is evil, taking
care that its language is to the point apd
plain. beyond the possibility Of being
misunderstood Itis influenced by mo-
tives that do not appear on the surface; it
has no opinions to sell, save those which
ma, be had by any purchaser for two cents.
1t hates injustice and rascality evenmore
than it hates unnecessary words. 1t abb
hors frauds, pities fools, and deplores
nincompoops Of every species. 1t will
continue throughout the year 1880 to
chastise the first-class, instruct thu second
and discountenance the third. All hon.
est men, with honest convictions, wheth-
er sound or mistaken, are its friends. And
THE Sun makes no bones of telling the
truth to its friends and about its friends
whenever occasion arises for plain speak
ing.
These are the principles upon which THE
Sun will be conducted during the year to
come.
The year 1880 will be one in which no
patriotic American can afford to close his
eyes to bubble affairs. 1t is impossible to
