THE n. Y. SUN.
NEW YORK, 1883.

More people have read TIE SUN during
the year Just now passing than ever before
since it was first printed. No other news
paper published On this side Of tho earth has
been bought AMI read in any year by SO many
men and women.
We are creditabls informed that people
buy. read, ani like The sun for the follow
ing reasons, among others:
Because its news columns present in at
t'actiVe form and with the greatest possible
accuracy whatever has interest for human
kind /; the events. the deeds. and misdeeds, he
wisdom, the philosophy, the notable folly,
the solid sense, the improving nOnsense-all
the news Of the busiest world at present re-
vulvinS in space.
Because people have learned that In Its re-
marks concerning persons and affairs THE
SuN makes practice OF telling them the eX-
act truth to the best of ability three hundred
and siXty-hve days in the year, before cleo
tiOn as well as after, about the whales as
well as the small ish, ia the face of dissent as
plainly and tearlcssly as when supported bY
general approval. The SUN has absolutely
no purposes to serve, save the information of
its readers and the furtherance of the com.

| Because 1t is everybody's newspaper No
man is so humble that THE 5 UN is Indifferent
| to his welfare and his rights. No man, nc
association OF men, is powerful enough to be
| exempt from the strict application of Its
| principles OF right and wrong.
| Bee use in politics it has fought for dozen
years, without intermission and sometimes
| almost alone onR newspapers, the hghl

| is in power, THE Sun stands ana will con
tinue To stand like II rock for the interests o
the people against the ambition of bosses The
encrOachments Of mOnopolists, and the dis
honest schemes of public robbers.
All this is what we are told almost DAILY
| by our friends. One man holds that TIL
| SUN is the best relig ious newspaper ever put
| lished. because its Christianity is undiluteC
| with cant. Another holds that it is the hes
Republican newspaper printed, because It ha
| already whppeii half of the rnscals out NJ
that party. and the proceedings against ihi
other half with undeminished yigir. A thr,
believes IL to be the best magazine ofgenera
literature In existence because its reader
miss nothing worthy of notice that is current
in the world OF thought So every friend o
lHE sun discovers one Of its many sides tha
appeals with particular force to his indvidu
al liking.

She SEA-MAIDEN.
is a lily and rose sea. maiden

There was lily and rose sea maiden
In marvellous depths of iar-away seas,
Whose eyes were blue, and whose head was
laden
With luminous curls like the honey o.
bees.
Half hidden by coras and swaying rushes
And vines Of the ocean, she sat arrayed
In tremulous veil Of delicate bushes
And robes of quivering light and shade.
The sun-fsh came to worship her graces,
The dog-fsh fingered ana marvolled be-
side,
And she gsyly smiled in their whimsical
foces,
And sang them songs till they laughed OF
cried,
A poet of earth looked down upon her,
And loved, and beckoned, and told his
love;
But her soul was coy with a sea-maiden's
honor

So there he stayed by the crystalline water
He leaned and gazed with heart on fire:
And died at last for the oceans daughter
Died of sorrow and long desire.
And still she sis in the peace of ocean
The peace of the mouth of ocean caves
A damsel without mn earthly emotion
Who cares not for men, their loves, nor
their caves.
Thus, deep in the calms of woman's life,
coyers
Herself some maiden on aureate sands
OF duty and innocence, far from lovers,
From beatngs of heart and reachings OF
hands.

He Gets His Eyes BIacked and Ii Locked
Up.
Last evening man of genteel appear
ance entered Schoenberger's Excelsior sa-
loon, East King street, and called for a
glass of beer, which was given him. He
drank it, and without paying for it walk
ed towards the door with the glass in his
hand. Mr.. Schoenberger reminded him
that he had not paid for the beer, where
upon he heaped vile epithets on Schoen-
berger, and swore he would not pay for
it. Mr.. Schoenberger then requested him
to return the glass. which he also refused
to do, and hurled it through one of the
large cut glasses in the front door, break
ing it into fragments, and then ran
out of tho room. The glass was a
valuable one, being nearly four feet
in length and elaborately ground and Or
namented with cut flowers. Not long
after leaving the saloon the stranger
halted several gentlemen on the street and
asked them for money, and finally he ran
into the arms of Officer Smith, who ar
rested him and locked him up. He gave
his name as G. II. McCormick and his resi-.
dence Baltimore. This morning when
taken before Alderman Barr he had pair
of blacked eyes, and was very penitent,
said he had got drunk and lost $40, all the
money he had, during his debauch. He
said he was agent for hardware house in
Baltimore and could get a remittance if he
were permitted to telegraph. Permission
was given, and awaiting the answer, he
was returned to the lock up.
In due time an answer came, and with it
an order for money enough to pay for all
damages done, and constable's and alder
mans costs, whereupon Mccormick was
discharged.

" THE WORLD"

A Weak Play With Fine Stage Effects.
The spectacular play presented in Fulton
opera house last night to fair sized audi
ence and known as "The World, de
serves the commendation it has received
for its really attractive scenic effects, but
its excellence ends there. Since its ap-
pearance here last September, notable
notifications have been made in the way
of cutting out some super1uous material,
but it is q question whether there is any
perceptible improvement, for the play all
through possesses nothing either in dra-
matte strength or plot to entitle it to
recognition as drama. At the best it
is but a conglomerate of weak ideas and
sentiments, improbable situations and
pistols jumbled into marvellous mass and
termed drama with nothing remediable
in it but its stage settings, that are un-
doubtedly of high order. As for the
troupe presenting the play, Mr.. j. z.
Little endeavors to make out of the lead
ing role all there is in it, which is lamenta
bly, little, but none of the cast seems to
have either the opportunity or the ability
to rise above mediocrity.

FoR some unexplained and certainly
for no defensible reason the House at
Harrisburg yesterday reconsidered its
determination to not purchase II, 900 ad-
ditional copies of Smull's handbook, and
voted to buy the books, provided they
did not cost over 81 600. It will be re-
membered that there has been one dis.
tribution of these handbOoks to MEM
bers of the Legislature at the expense of
the state, and they have got as many as
are needed for legitimate purposes. We
have no doubt they can find persons
among their constituents willing to take
and anxious to get five times ten thea
sand copies, and there is no reason to
Justify the issue of the smaller number
which cannot be extended to the larger.
If it is the function of the state to pro-
vide books for the information of their
constituents, it might, with equal pro
priety, circulate dictionaries, spelling
books, newspapers and periodicals until
finally the people become so enlightened
as to vote out of Office the men who at
Harrisburg vote away the states money
without excuse.
