THE SUN.
NEW YORK, 1882,


The Sun for 1882 will make'it if
teenth annual revolution under the
present management, shining, as al
ways, for all, big and lit e, mean and
gracious, contented and unhappy, Re-
publican and Democratic, deprayed and
Yirtuous intelligent and obtuse. The
SUNS light is for mankind and woman
kind of every sort; but its genial
warmth is for the good, while it pours
lot discomfort on the blistering backs
OF the persistently wicked.
The Sun Of 1868 was a newspaper
OF anew kind. 1t discarded many Of
The forms, and a multitude ofthe super
tluous words and phrases of ancient
Journalism. 1t undertook to report in
a fresh, %succinct, unconventional WV
all the news of the world, emitting no
event OF human interest, and comment
ing upon affairs with the fearlessness of
absolute independence. The success
OF this experiment was the success of
IHE Sun. 1t effected a permanent
change in the style of American news
papers, Every important journal es.
tablished in this country in the dozen
years past has been modelled after The
Suns example. g.
The Sun of 1882 will be the same
outspoken, truthteIling, and interest
ing newspaper.
By a liberal use of the means which
an abundant prosperity affords, We
shall make it better than ever before,
We shall print all the news, putting
it into readable shape, and measuring
its Importance not by the traditional
yardstick, but by its real interest to the
people. Distance from Printing House
Square is not the first consideration
with The Sun. Whenever anything
happens worth reporting we get the
particulars, whether it happens in
Brooklyn or in Bokhara.
In politics we have decided opinions ;
and are accustomed to express them in
langt age that can be understood. We
say what we think about men and
events. That habit is the only secret
Of The SUN political course.
The WEEKLY SUN gathers into eight
pages the best matter ofthe seven daily
issues. An Agricultural Department
of unequalled merit, full market re-
and aliberal proportion OF liter
airy, scientific and domestic intelligence
complere The WEEKLY SUN, and make
the best newspaper for the farmers
household that was ever printed.
Who does not know and read and
like The SUNDAY SUN, each number OF
which is a GoIconda of interesting lit
erature, with the bestpootry of the day,
prose every line worth reading, news,
humor-matter enough to fill a good
sized book, and infinitely more varied
and entertaining than any book big or

"Oh, certainly" said Mrs. Sorel,
with little ~hysterical laugh, 81 will
introduce you to your pupil"
And opening a door which slid
gently back under PARrIERCs of pink
and blue chlntz, she led the wayin-
to a study lined with books, where,
by the soft hight OF a shaded lamp,
sat a dignifed gentleman of thirty,
busy over a heap of manuscript.
"My son, the rector of the par
i8h," said she, "Rudolph, allow me
to introduce you to Miss Dale, who
has come from New York to give
you music lessons"
The dignifed gentleman rose and
bowed.
Elise felt as if she could slide,
invisibly, through a crack in the
floor.
"Rudolph has had every musical
advantage at Prague and Vienna"
said Mrs. Surel; "but Madame Du-
cheSne has a reputation for classic,
al sacred music, and my son thought
it might be we'll to refresh his men,
DRY with a course oflesSons in Hay
den and Mozart before commencing
to instruct his choir boys himself"
Elise colored like rose.

She thought--and l thought too
that the pupil was a child. l be-
lleve | am pretty well grounded in
my musical education, but ofcourse

Here Elise, quite forgetful of her
dignity, burst into tears.

gently; why should you not remain
at Mount Sorel, and instruct nv
little choir boys in my stead? And
while they are in the rudiments
you can be practicing with me-"
"IfI could earn my board in that
way" Elise said, feebly.
"You can do a great deal more
than that" said Dir. Sorel, kindly

Elise.
Mrs. Sorel smiled wisely.
Nothing would have induced
him to say what he aid not think"
said she. "Rndolph is truth itself"
So Elise stayed at Mount Sorel,
going down day by day to the little
chapel among the wild mountain
lodges, with its picturesque gables
and windows Of stained glass, to
teach the choir boys the difference
between sharps and fats, "sol fa's"

R%ildering array and the mountain
stage was actually at the door of
Mount Sorel before Elsie realized
that she was more than half way on
her journey.

central tower of blue stone, and
two long, low wings, situated upon
a level plateau on a hill side, vii h'a

The contest for the control of the
Reading railroad has substantially ended
in a victory for Mr.. Gowen, who has Oh
tanned the support of the present holders
of 100000 out of the 6s5,O0O shares of
the stock. These shares cannot all be
voted in his favor, it is true, owing to
their not being represented in their
owners names for sufficient time.
But eventually their voice must cont rol,
and that is all that is needed to be
known. Even should the election
on Monday result in the choice
Of the McCalmont ticket it will
he barren victory, since Mr..
Gowen will continue in the control of
the road as receiver under the moral
support of the majority Of the stock

which will make him master of the sit
uation, and give him the support of the

ries the Reading destinies in the hollow

ST TARTLING SPECTACLE.

A Nude and iueedinG Woman Flying
Through the Stroots to Escape the Lash.
Intelligence received from Charlotte
N. c., gives the details of the bruta
f1ogging of mulatto girl by her mother
with q cowhide. The account states that
the piteous screams of woman in the
California section of that city startled the
neighborhood about eleven o'clock in the
morning. As people ran to their doors a
naked woman, bleeding from her hair to
her stockings, the only Stitch which was
on her body, rushed shrieking from the
door of the house. She ran wildly up the
railroad to the crossing, dashing across
this frantically. Still screaming with pain
and terror she ran down an alley near by
and broke madly into house hundred
yards from the street. Several persons
were passing at the time, some ladies
among the number. One or two met her
as she came up tho railroad, and all
stepped aside as if q locomotive had been
coming.
In about half an hour after this specta-
ole woman applied to Justice McNinch
for a warrant for her mother, who, she
said, had torn her clothing from her and
beaten her with cowhide. She removed
enough of her clothing to prove her asser-
ton that not an inch of her body was free
from bloody welt. She was, she said, q
day servant at boarding house on Tryon
street. She went home to her mother
every night, but failed last night on ac-
count Of the weather. Her mother had
met her on Mint street ON her way home
that morning. When they met the
mother held a heavy rawhide in her
hand and ordered the girl home. "rn
teach you," she said, how to spend
another night in Buzzard's Roost," The
latter is place of bad repute in Charlotte.
The girl. thoroughly afraid of her mother,
went. The rest has been told. She could
not endure the pain of the raw hide upon
the naked skin and escaped from tho
house, pursued by her tigress of mother
for short distance with the reeking hide
uplifted.
The girls name is Rena Young, and
that of her mother is Lizzie Young. The
daughter is handsome and light; the
mother ugly, black and brutal. The latter
was sent to Jail for thirty days. When a
went to arrest her crowd had
gathered around, and the excitement in
The vicinity was great.

Singular 'sasesde.

In Philadelphia Wolfgang Kisling. after
having reached his three score years and
ten, took his life in most singular man
ner. Kisling resided in Grams avenue,
Roxborough, and on Thursday sold his
little property and afterwards appeared
to regret it At night he disappear
ed and was not found until next morning,
and then it was discovered that he had
plunged his head into q barrel of rain
water and held it there until he became
suffocated. When found, the ice had
formed on the surface and around the sub
merged portion of his body. No other
reason can be assigned for the mans sui
eide except tho melancholy, consequent
upon the regret at having sold his prop
erty.
