A Strange Tragedy.

a strange case is causing a sensa-
ton at Scituate. Jonathan Hunt. 80
years of age. who lived on Bay street
with his wife, forty years younger
than himself. had not leen seen by
the neighbors for several days. and
suspicious being aroused ny the ans.
wers of the wife in response tn in.
quiries about him, officers Were sent
to make an investigation. When the
officers arrived they found the house
securely fastened, and an entrance
was fOrcibly made. Here they found
Mrs. Hunt in very depressed state
of mind. Upon being Intercepted
as to the whereabouts of her hus-
band. she Informed them that he WAS
abed and then started OH run. She
went swiftly through the rooms, CON-
ing to II fourth. when she shut the
door and placed herself against it, re-
marking, He is here you must not
come in" She was removed, when
the officers found Mr.. Hunt lying
upon bed, dead. Mrs. Hunt could
give no intelligent account of her
husbands death. but said he was
taken sick Sunday night; that she
had wrapped him up in blankets and
watched by him ever since; but moth
ing further could be ascertained from
her. During the conversation she
made many incoherent utterances re-
garding the past life of her husband
and herself, and convinced the officer
that she was hopelessly insane. When
Mr.. Hunts death occurred. or what
was its cause, is a matter of conjec.
ture at the present time. 1t was
learned last night that he had been
unwell for n number Of days, and that
last Thursday he called OH DIR. Vinal.
who found, upon examination. that
he had every symptom of paralysis.
In view of this circumstance, coupled
with Mr.. Hunts advanced age, this
is thought to be the most probable
cause of death.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1882.
A Chicago Man Mad,


WhileAbbyes theater was burning sew
eral men in hotel near by were talking
about it. One was Chicago man and
he had good deal to say. A New
Yorker, who probably had not travelled
much, was a listener. The Chicago
man recalled the big fire out there:
"You remember the Chicago tirep-
he said.
"No," said the New Yorker, II never
heard of it. Had fire, ehp Did anyone
put it outp'
"Did anyone put it outr'
.'Yesp Got some engines, supposep"
"Why, sir, we've got the best fire
de-"
"Oh! then it was put out I'm glad.
Hope no one lost anything"
The Chicago man turned away, but
pretty soon came back. A remark
about tho theater being flimsy led him
to say:
"A theater like that would not be al
lowed in Chicago; no. sir. not be allow
ed"
Then the New Yorker Clipped in
with:
"Have you really thcater in Chica-
goP'
Have we awhatp"
"A theater. You were speaking about
the theaters. Do actors ever 20 out
there?"
The Chicago man did not answer. He
seemed to be getting riled. The innocent
New Yorker spoke again:
would there be any chance to start
church in Chicagop have friend
who feels that he was born TO be mis-
sionary, and he thinks that II he got in
to a new settlement"
The Western citizen was really get
ting mad. He squared himself and
said:
..Sir. you and your friend may go to
Halifax. Ii you ever come to Chica-
GO"
"Well. mebbe will. should like to
see one of those new places. How do
yea get therep ANY railroads?"
When the meeting adjourned the Chi
cago man looked rs if he wanted to lick
some one right away.

Variety and freshness of illustra

Variety and freshness of illustra
tiOns and literary features are claimed
for the December Century. John
Marshall, the Great Chief Justice, is
the subject of the frontispiece, which
with character sketches and many
portraits, belongs to E. V. Smalley's
paper on THE Supreme Court of the
United States" Besides giving
clear idea of the functions of the Su
preme Court, the writer describes
picLuresquely the routine and the
humor of that dignilied body, and
gives several anecdotes of the chief.
Justices. "My Adventures i'm Zuni'
is Frank II. Cnshing's first paper on
the remarkable tribe of Pueblo III
dams with whom he has been living
as an adopted chief for two years or
more. His account of the family
life and religious rites of the Znnis.
and the numerous illustrations. are
both unusually interesting. William
Elliot Grifiis explains "The COrean
Origin of japanese Art" and brings
to the assistance of the text several
striking reproductions of old Curean
art. "The Taxidermal Art" is the
subject of several beautiful engrav-
ings of mounted birds and animals,
and in the text, Franlin II. North
writes with freshness about taxider-
mists and the curious features of
their art. A portrait of the late DIR.
John Brown, the author of the in
imitable story ''Itab and his Friends,
which include Il portrait of the mas
tiff Rab and picture of the authors
study, and some amusing grotesques
10y DR.. Brown. illustrate "a charming
paper on "Rab's Friend by Andrew
Lang. Something between a story
and satiric essay is Henry james,
Jr.'s, Point Of View," which has,as
study of American manners, even
more interest than daisy Miller
The purpose is, by series of clever
letters by Americans who have lived
in Europe, and by an educated Eng |
lishman and French Academician, |
to show the merits and defects of |
American life and character rs they
appear from the different points OF
view of these critics. Professor
IOunsbury, OF Yale, returns To 1.-The
Problem of Spelling Reform" and
makes forciDle argument In favor of
it, and John Burroughs talks delight
fully of the Lizard Fare" of the

THE SUN.
NEW YORK, 1853.

More people have read the S4R during the
year Just now passing than ever before since
il was printed. No other newspaper pub
lishcd ON this side of the earth has been
bought and read i'm any year by SO MANY men
and women
Weare credibly Informed that people buy,
read and like the Sna for the following rca-
sons, among others:
Because its news columns present nm ut
tactive form and with the greatest possible
accuracy whatever has interest for human
kind; the events, the deeds and misdcc,is,
the wisdom, the philosophy, the notable folly.
the solid sense, the improving non.scnse--all
the news Of the busiest world at present re-
volving in space
marks concerning persons and affairs, the
Saa makes II practice Of telling them the
exact truth to the best of its ability three
hundred and sixty-five days in the year, b.
fore election as well as after, about the
small fish, in the face of dissent as plainly
and fearlessly as when supported by general
approval. The San has absolutely no purpls-
cs to serve, save the information Of its read
ers and the furtherance of the common good.
Because ii is everybcdy's newspaper. No
man is so humble that the Sun is Indifferent
IA his welfare and his rights. No man g so
rich that it can allow injustice to be done
him. No man, no association of men, s pow
erful enough to be exempt ir,m the strict
application of its principles of right and
wrong
Because In politics it has fought for a
dozen years, without intermissou and some.
times almost alone among newspapers the
fight that has resulted i'm the recent over.
whelming popular verdict against RObeson-
Ism and for honest government. No matter
what party is I'm power. the Sun stands and
will continue to stand like rock for the in.
terest of the people against the ambition OF
bosses, the encrOachments OF moncpolists
and the dishonest schemes of public robbers
All this we are told almost daily by oui
friends. One man holds that the San IL tho
best religious newspaper ever published, b,,
cause its Christianity is undilutcd with cant
Another holds that il is the best Republican
newspaper printed, because il has already
whipped half of the rascals out OF that party
and is proceeding against the other half witt
undiminished vigor. A third believes il u
be the best magazine of general literature In
existence, because its readers miss nothing
worthy of notice that is current in the wOrlI
of thought So every friend of the San dis
covers one of its many sides that appeal with
particular force to his individual liking
Ii you already know the Sun, YOU will oil,
serve that in 1888 is Il little better than cyeI
before. II you do not already know the san
you will find ii to be a mirror OF all human
activity, stOrehOuse OF the choicest product,
OF common sense and imagination, a main
stay for the cause Of honest government ,
sentinel for the genuine JeffcrsOnian Democ
rlcy, scourge for wickedness of every spe
cies and an uncOmmonly good investment fOl
the coming year

ATER's CArIIAHTIc PILLS are the best
of all purgativcs for family use. They
are the product of long, laborious, and
successful chemical investigation, and
their extensive use, by physicians In
their practice, and by all civilized ma
tions, proves them the best and most
ciTectual purgativc Pill that medical
science can devise. Being purely veg
etable no harm can arise from their
use, and being sugar-coatcd, they are
pleasant to take. In intrinsic value
and curative powers no other Pills
can be compared with them; and every
person, knowing their virtues, will
employ them, when needed. They
keep the system in perfect order, and
maintain in healthy action the whole
machinery of life. Mild, searching and
eiicctual, they are especially adapted
To the needs of the digestive apparatus,
arrangements of which they prevent
and cure, IL timely taken. They are
the best and safest physic to employ
for children and weakened cOnstitu-
tinns, where mild but cfiectual
