NEW YORK, 1882.

THE SUN for 1882 will make its fif-
teenth annual revolution under the
present management, shining, rs always,
for all. big and little, mean and gracious,
contented and unhappy, Republican and
Democratic, depraved and yirtuous, intel
lirent and obtuse. THE SUN'g light Is for
mankind and womankind OF every sort,
but its genial warmth is for the good,
while it pours hot discomfort on the bis
tering backs of the pcrsistently wicked.
THE Sun of 1868 was newspaper OF a
new kind. 1t discarded many of tho forms,
and n multitude of the superfluous words
and phrases of ancient journalism. 1t
undertook to report in q fresh, succinct,
unconventional way all the news of the
world. omltting no event of human inter-
est. and commenting upon affairs with
the fearlessness of absolute independence.
The success of this experiment was the
success of THE SUN. II effected perma-
nent change in the style of American
newspapers. Every important journal cs
tablished in this country in the dozen
wears past has been modelled after The
SuN. Every important journal already
ey,stiny has been modified and bcttered
bv the force of THE Suns example.
THE SUN of 1882 will be the same out
spoken. truthtelling and interesting news

Some interesting statistics of mortal
ity among railway travellers appear in
French journals. With commendable
candor, France is given the first and
of course least enviable, place on the
list, her railways killing annually one in
every 1000, 600 passengers, and wound
ing one in every half million. Eng
lish railways kill one in every 8, $50, 900,
but surpass those Of France in minor
casualties, wounding one in every third
of a million. Belgian railways kill and
wound one in every 100000 and g.
100000 respectively, while Prussia only
kills one in every 100000, and
wounds one in every 100000 Roundly
speaking, French railways kill five
times as many as English, English not
quite twice as many as Belgian, and
Belgian nearer thrice than twice as
many as Prussian, which are much the
least fatal of the four.

How 10 Grow Glover.

Mr.. Joseph Harris, in his "Talks on
Manures," says that we can make our
lands poor by growing clover and SELL
ing it, or we can make them rich by
growing clover and feeding it out on
the farm. Drain where needed, culti-
vate thoroughly, so as to develop the
latent plant food in the soil, and then
grow clover to take up and organize
this plant food. This is how to make
land rich by growing clover. Draining
and cultiyating furnishes food for clover
and the clover takes it up and pre-
pares it in best shape for other crops.
The clover does not create plant food,
but merely saves it.

The Postal.

A treatise on the history of the,postal
card has been published in Berlin. The
originator OF the idea is said to have
been Germen state official, Dr..
Stephen, who wrote an essay upon il in
1865. Austria was the first to adopt il,
beginning in October, 1869. The first
three months witnessed the passage OF
1880, 900 cards through the mails. Ger
many followed suit in 1870, and on the
first day after the introduction of the
postal card As, 469 were sent off in Berlin
alone; and within two months over
1000, 600 were used. Other countries
soon initiated the same step. During
the Franco-Prussian war the postal-card
system was great boon to both armies.
Over 100000 cards passed during
the campaign between the German
soldiers and their friends and homes,
The greatest proportional consumption
Of postal cards occurs unquestionably
in the United States. The whole of
Europe is estimated to use annually
350,000,000, while the consumption in
the United States alone will probably
not fall short of 23OOO0,0 900. Germany
consumed in 1879 122, 747,0O0. The use
of the postal card is, moreover, con-
stantly increasing, and to some extent
at the expense of the letter correspond
ence. There are now said to be seventy
three countries in which it is introduced.
Austria, which has the honor OF first
putting the idea into practical execu-
tion, is now said to have cards OF the
poorest material and most inconvenieni

Our country has buried eighteen
Presidents, whose graves are scattered,
and yet nine States include the entire
number. New Hampshire has the graveo oi
Pierce, and Massachusetts, holds the
two Adams, father and son. New York
contains Van Buren, and Fillmore,
while Pennsylvania only has Buchanan.
Kentucky can boast the grave of Taylor,
while Illinois is honored by that Of
Lincoln. Ohio has two-Harrison and
Garield-both cut off soon after the
opening of their official career. Ten.
nesste has three, Johnson, Polk and
Jackson, while Virginia, the "mother
OF Presidents" has taken five to her
bosom in final rest-their names being
Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Mon
roe and Tyler. Looking back on the
past, what long interval occurred be-
tween tho death of Washington and
that of his uccessors-nearly twenty.
seven years-but then it brought the
death of two in one day. The largest
number of ex-Presidents alive occurred
when John Q. Adams began his ad.
ministration. At that time old John
Adams, with Jefferson, Madison and
Monroe, were not only living, but were
in full possession of all their faculties.
The Smallest number of ex-Presidenh
is found during Hayes administration,
when the number was reduced to one

During the past year the progress Of
discovery at Pompeii has been rapid.
Several very important housss have
been opened fer the first time since
their memorable closing up in the early
years of imperial Rome. One of them
is built and furnished on an entirely
original plan. Some Of the statues found
are of bronze, and are said to be of ex-
quisite workmanship Furniture dis
covered is also of high excellence.
The first official Sunday-school census
in the United States is now being taken
by the government 1t is under the
charge of Mr.. John d. Wattles, Of Phil.
adelphia. Circulars containing num-
ber of questions are sent to every super
intendent. These questions cover the
number of teachers and children, the
ages of the scholars, the number, value
and character of books in libraries, the
property owned, the money collected,
and the increase in attendance since
1870. 1t is thought that five or six
more months will be required to COM
plete the work.

The most imp rtant amendments referred
to in the report sent us of the Savings
Bank Meeting are as follows
No. 4. provides that " the Accountant
shall give surety for an amount not less
than $500 for the faithful discharge of
his duties"
No. 5. tho only amendment which met
with adverse votes, provides that the
annual statement shall be examined,
along with the accounts of the depOsitors
&c. SC. by "two Auditors appointed by
the Superior Authority of The Island"
No 6. provides that the Superior
Authority, if willing, shall have the same
control as in Denmark is given to the
Inspector Of Savings Banks and the Minis
ter of the interior.
No. Z. alters the hours for receiving de-
posits on Saturday afternoons, which were
formerly from / o'clock to 3 but will in
the new bank be from 3 to 5.
No. Q. defines the modes of investment,
instead of leaving this matter entirely
to the Trustees, as in the old articles of
Constitution.
No. 10. fixes The interest at Z per cent.
per Quarter. The Board of Trustees are
empowered to lower the rate or cease to
pay interest altogether, but not earlier
than after three months notice inserted
in the local newspaper.

the Chairman ; he would only add, that
there can be no doubt whatever, that if
the Council vote this Budget with o
certain fixed sum for the item 10 question
the Administration could not pay out
more than is granted. But be would
furthermore point out. that when a certain
sum Of expenditure, fixed by law or ordi-
nance, had been altered to a less amount,
it would appear that this reduced sum
could not even by means Of additional
grants be raised again, si9ce the Council
can not vote, under the form of an add.
tionsl grant, on matters fixed by ordinance.
He meant to say. that when these S9925
are put down 40 the actual total outlay,
then no addition to it could be obtained by
bringing 10 additional grants. He coin
cided with the Chairman's views, and
thought il would in the long run be better
10 have the item posted as he suggests, as
thereby will be shewn that q saving will
have taken place. while full power to use
the higher sum, If needed, would be pre-
served.
The Chairman said that if no one re-
quested the word further on this matter,
he would proceed to the Money Bills.
No one requested the word.

COLONIAL E 8.
JAMAICA.

A report of the Government Sa-
wings Bank for the year ending 80
September 1880 had been published.
The Cleaner gives the results as
follows
"The deposits for the year reported
upon amounted to the sum of
8164, 735, lbs. Sd. being f32,5O5 Is.
I'd. in excess of the previous year,
and an increase over Withdrawals of
944, 607 Is. Cd. Considering the
s~traitened circumstances of the
four closing months of the year,
these results are very encouraging
and satisfactory. The increase is,
of course, in some measure due to
the more frequent opening Of tho
Branch Offices"
The Cleaner says that Mr.. Morris,
the Director of Public Gardens and
Plantations, is distributing through
out the country packets of the Chick
pea" or "gram" of India [Cicer
arletlnum an annual which grows to
the height of about a foot, and pro-
duces n of the pulses used extern
sively for food by the natives of
India and CeyIon. Mr.. Morris also
says that it is a valuable fodder
plant, especially for horses, and, as
such, is capable of rendering great
service in Jamaica. This pea is,
we believe, remarks the Cleaner, used
sometimes as a substitute for coffee,
and is we'll known in French cooke
ry.
Mr.. Morris suggests to his CORES
pondents that they should SOW the
seeds he has forwarded, like the or
binary English field pea, and that
when the first crop has ripened, some
of the seeds be distributed among
settlers and others, for the purpose
of introducing a valuable food.

BARBADOS.

Mr.. InnisS, a member of the AS
sembly, had given notice OF his in
tention to ask the Colonial Secretary
for a return of the number of deaths
from poisoning, and the number of ac-
cidents and deaths from the explosion
ofk~eroseneoi oil which have been report
ed to the Government. Commenting
on the second of the proposed ques-
tons, the Globe makes some remarks
of Importance, which apply equally
we'll to st. Croix as to Barbados.
eff we come to the other ques-
ton, which we contend has no.
thing to do with the first, we say
that it is one which should receive
every attention, and we only hope
that Mr.. Inniss's question will lead to
the framing of a definite Bill on the
subject. Every now and then we
read III newspapers a police report
detailing some drea lful accident
from the ignition of kerosene oil, and
we have reason to believe that there
aremany more cases when DO not
their way into print, in which the
most fatal consequences ensue from
this cause. 1t is well known that
petroleum is one of the most inffam-
mabIe of substances in its natural
state, and is only rendered fit for use
by rectification. We cannot say off
hand what has been decided on as
the proper test, but we are informed
that the Imperial Government have
been in the habit Of requiring a guar
antee yin the local contracts) that
the oil should not explode under 1910
degrees Fahrenheit. Whether this is
ever a~scertained by actual test we are
not aware, but we believe that we
are correct in saying that as a rule
there is no test applied by the Gus
toms department to the oil in bond,

out when the coal beavers went in with
their lamps, and two of these men were

he is no more fitted to try this case

Boston Advertiser:-It is a power
full testimony to the strength and sta
bility of our government that its CON
stitutional sovereign can be struck
down by an assassin without causing a
jar or tremOr in anypart of the mighty
system. To the people the shock is
terrible, and the long suspense between
life and death imposes a long strain
which it is very hard to bear. Party
divisions and sectional lines make no
difference in the depth and sincerity
of grief with which the Presidents
peril and suffering are regarded. But
the government is the same strong
fortress as before; and not a voice is
heard from ocean to ocean raising q
whisper against it. Itseems, indeed,
as if at this time of great national SEN
sitiveness, Of which mischief and dis
content might, under some circum-
stances, have taken dangerous advan-
tage, the affairs Of the country, within,
and without, as affecting the public
sense oforder and security, were meyer
more peaceful or more serene. 1t is a
cause of profound gratitude, and a
compensation for great calamity.

week after week, to learn lessons in
natural history by the object. method.
Of late much attention has been given
to the propagation and rearing of
young birds and animals. Marvellous
results have been reached in this
direction. Birds never known to
propagate their species before in con-

rounded with chattering colonies Of
young ones. Quaint, lively young
birds and beast fairly swarm in the
homes provided for them, and add an
infinite variety to the attractions of
the garden,
