MISCELLANEOUS.
THE SUN FOR 1881.

Everybody reads The Sun. In the
editions OF this newspaper throughout
the year to come everybody will find:
1. All tho worlds news, so presented
That the reader will get tho greatest
amount OF information with tho loast
Improbable expenditure Of time and
eye sight. The Sun long ngo discovered
the golden mean between redundant
fullness and unsatisfactory brevity.
ii. Much OF that sort Of news which
depends less upon its recognized inn
p%ortance than upon Its intercet 10 man
kind. From morning to morning The
6an prints a continued story OF the lives
Of real men and women, and Of their
deeds, plans, loves, hates. and troubles,
This story IL moro varied and moro in.
terestinS than any romance that was
ever devised.
III. Good writing in every column,
and freshness, originality, accuracy, and
decorum in the treatment OF every SUBJ
jet.
". Honest comment. The Sun,
hab is to speak out fearlessly about
men and things.
V. Equal caudor in dealing with each
political party. and equal readiness to
Commend what is p~raiseworthy or to
Iebukc what Is blaTablc IN Democrat or
Republican.
vi. Absolute independence OF parti.
gan organization, but uuwavering 10y
atty to true Democratic principles. The
Sun believes that tho Government which
the Constitution gives US is n good ono
TO keep. Its notion OF duty is to resist
TO Its Utmost power the efforts Of men
IN the Republican party to set rpe
another form Of government in plac of
that which exists. The year 1881 and
the years Immediately following will
probably decide this supremacy impor-
tant contest. The Sun believes that the
victory will be with the people as against
the Rings for monopoly, with Rings for
plumber. and the rings for imperial
pSwer.
Our terms are rs follows:
For the Daily Sun, q touf page sheet

In the twinkle of an eye, the Irene,
the Carl Shurz, the tug boat Nellie
and barges, pushed their way to the
West Baton Rouge shore, where the
second train, announced as the first
had been, had already arrived and
landed it's cargo of excursionists,
who were met by Major John J. Wax,
President of the Confederate Teter-
ans; Captains McGrath, Vice Presi-
dent, and 0. p. skolfeld, Secretary !;
Col. }. E. Blouin, Treasurer, and
Mayor Jastremski, who, after shaking
hands with President j. A. Chalaron,
of the Army of Tennessee Col. VIM.

A SALUTE OF THIRTEEN ROUNDS.
In the meantime the Independent
Silver Cornet Band had been raising
the enthusiasm of the excursionists
and of the dense crowd that lined the
landing and the city's front.
On stepping ashore, the
CONFEDERATE VETERANS or BATON

Marshalled by Capt. }. w. Bates,
were formed in open order, with two
flags, one the stars and stripes and
the other war relic, the company

Battalion, which was donated to Mrs.
G. D. Waddill, as token Of appre-

On Saturday evening the threat
ening clouds that had hung over this
city for several days, gave way at
last and at 3 o'clock heavy showers
of rain began to descend with q
hoop-la, to the CONSERVATION of a
great number of our people who were
looking anxiously for the morrow's
reception of the Army of Tennessee.
In vain did they look for a cessa-
ton of the rain at nightfall.
THE SUN REMAINED HIDDEN
by the dlssolving clouds. Down,
down, poured the raintill about day
light on Sunday morning, when the
first break occurred.
Some argued that the excursionists-
demoralized by the untOward weather
would decide for a postponement.
But these reckoned without their
hosts as it was soon ascertained
THAT TIE BOYS WERE MARCHING.
The bright weather seemed to hang
on thread all the forenoon till II !
o'clock, when from the Southeast
suddenly came a huge black cloud
which drenched our streets for fully
three quarters of an hour, when, as
if by order the sky, became clear and
the
sun SHONE OUT RESPLENDENTLY
almost simultaneously with the ar
rival of the first train, at 1915, when
one gun was fired by the artillery
section, commanded, officered and
manned as follows:
Ordnance Sergeant William Fer
guson, L. S. A. commanding section.

Gen. Robert Lowry, the Democratic
nominee for Governor of Mississippi is
said to be one of the best and most pop
ular men in that State. He is about
a3 years Of age, an ex-Brigadier of the
Confederate army, and a gentleman OF
great purity of character. He is also a
man of ability. His election by an
overwhelming majority is an assured
fact.

DR.. f. NJ. Mumford, a well known
citizen of Bayou Sara, associated with
other enterprising gentlemen Of that
place, has in operation very ingenious
machine which turns out two thousand
bricks per hour. This is the only ma
chine of the kind in the State, and is a
great improvement on the old method OF
brick making.

Major John W. Daniel, the Demo
cratic nominee for Governor of Virginia,
was serenated at Danville, on last Sat
urday night, and his nomination enthu-
siastically ratified, at large mass
meeting, held in that city, Maj. Daniel
is one of the most eloquent orators Of
Virginia, and gentleman of great dash
and firmness of character. He proposes
to make vigorous campaign.

Further details Of the catastrophe by
lightning in Darlington cosnty, S. c.,
show that party consisting of twenty
white men who had been at work on
the public highway, stopped under an
oak tree to rest aud shelter themselves
from the sun. Clouds were visible at a
distance and the rain was falling some
miles away, but in that immediate To-
cality the sun was shining, The sky
was clear and nothing indicated the
presence of electricity. One Of their
number had stepped OFF few yards for
water, when, suddenly, terrific crash
startled him, and turning, he beheld his
companions-so some dead, completely par.
alyzed, and Others wounded and strug-
Cling in the throes of death. j. NJ Ma
lingo, Rufus Mazingo, Willie Waters
and John Z. Gatliu were killed out
right. These we're young men and re-
Gently married, twelve Others were
struck and more or less stunned and mu-
tilated, some Of them being seriously ii
not fatally injured. After the clouds
had gathered an hour later there was a
heavy fall Of rain. All around the tree
lay scattered tools with which the men
had been working on the road, and it is
possible these may have attracted the
electricity.

N. o. Picayune: There is trouble in
the Methodist church at Hickey Point,
ILL.,, because cigars wore sold at the
Sunday school festival to small boys,
several of whom indulged in their first
smoke on that occasion.
Louisiana capitolian., 1881-08-13

A Bath, Maine, postmaster, who is
behind in his accounts, was a prominent
candidate for Congress. He may yet,
says the Picayune, have an opportunity
to serve his State if he only gets as far
as the penitentiary.
