Influence of Pictures.

A room with pictures in it and
room without pictures differ by nearly
as much as a room with windows and
a room without windows; for pictures
are loopholes Of escape to the soul, lead
ing it to other scenes and spheres, where
the fancy for moment may revel,
refreshed and delighted. Pictures are
CONSIDERS of loneliness they are a
sweet flattery to the soul; they are a
relief to the jaded mind they are
windows to the imprisoned thought ;
they are books, they are histories
and sermons, which we can read with
out the trouble Of turning over the
leaves.

A Juveniles Query.

Trayers and the Terrier.

A good story is told of William r.
Hravers, the stammering wit of Wall
street, New York One day he met a
canine peddler, who offered to sell
Travers a beautiful terrier. but bred
so fine as to be a mere midget. Tray
ers asked: "Wh-a-at is he g-g-ood
flor ?" He is a splendid ratter, Mr..
Travers," was the response. "We-ell,"
said Travers, "you bring him to my
h-house tonight and I'll b-b-buy him."
In the evening man and dog were at
Travers' house. In the center Of the
library was a porcelain vase covered
over with cloth, and surrounding it
were a score of personal friends.
"P-p-p-ut your d-dog in there" said
TraVers. The owner of the valuable
purp did so, and awaited results. In
a few moments an unearthly shrek
came from the vase, and, looking down,
the company saw a finely-bred terrier
being shook at will by an enraged
rodent. The owner Of the dog was
dumbfounded, when TraVers said:
"H-h- how, m-m-uch, did you say
you would t-t-t-ake for that d-d-d-og2"
Fifty dollars is my price, Mr..
Travers," was the feeble response.
"F-f-f-ifty d-d-d-ollars for the
d-d-dog? Why, I'll s-s-sell you my
r-r-r-at for t-t-twenty-f f-f-ive."
Amid a peal of bOisterous laughter
man and dog disappeared.

. Composition of a Dude.

Kate Field says: Take strip Of
something that, for the sake of con-
venience, we will call man-which,
by the way, is a gross libel on man.
Around its neck place a tight collar,
enshrouded with hideous scarf and
breastpin. Put upon it silk hat and
a cutaway coat. Clothe its lower eX-
tremities with pants wherein calves
were never. meant to grow. In its
hand a cane-and on its feet boots that
creak at every step in limping measure.
Place cigarette in its mouth, teach it
a brief vocabulary of adverbs and ad-
jectives commencing with immensely
clever" and finishing with "see you
later, you know" And, in my humble
opinion, you obtain a fair conception
of the brains and capacity of the
American dude.

WAITING.
I whit.

Iwait,
Till from my yelled brows shall fall
This battling cloud, this wearying thrall,
Which holds me now from knowing all;
Until my spirit sight shall see
Into all BEINGS mystery,
Bee what itreally is to be
Iwait,
While robbing days in mockery fling
Such cruel loss athwart my spring,
And life flags on with broken wing;
Believing that kindlier fate
The patient soul will compensate
For all it loses. ere too late.
Iwaitl
The summer of the soul is long,
The harvests yet shall round me throng,
It's perfect pomp of sun and song.
In stormless mornings, yet TO be,
I'll pluck. from life's full-fruited tree,
The Joy to-day denied to me.

THE SUN.
NEW YORK, 1888

MORE people have read THE Sun dur
Vx1 ing the year just now passing than
ever before since 1t was first printed. No
other newspaper published on this side Of
the earth has been bought and read In any
year by SO many men and women.
We are credibly informed that people
buy, read and like THE Sun for the follow
ing reasons, among others:
Because Its newS columns present In at
tractive form and with the greatest posi-
BILE accuracy whatever has interest for
humankind; the events, the deeds and
misdeeds, the wisdom, the philosophy, the
notable folly, the solid sense, the improv-
ing nonsense-all the news OF the busiest
world at present revolving in space.
Because people have learned that in its
remarks concering persons and affairs THE
SUN makes practice of telling them the
exact truth to the best of its ability three
hundred and sixty-five days In tho year,
before election az well as after, about the
whales as well as the small fish, in the face
of dissent as plsinly and fearlessly as when
supported by general approval. The Sun
has absolutely no purposes to serve, save
the information of its readers and the fur
therance Of the common good.
Because it IL everybodv's newspaper.
No man is 80 humble that THE SUN Is in
different to his welfare and his rights. No
man is so rich that it can allow injustice
to be done him. No man, no ASSOCIATION
of men, is powerful enough to be exempt
from the strict application OF its principles
of right and wrong.
Because in politics it has fought for a
dozen years, without intermission and
oil
pers, the fight that has resulted in the re-
cent overwhelming popular verdict against
Robesonism anu for honest government.
No matter what party is in power, THE
Sun stands and will continue to stand like
. rock for the interests of the people
against the ambition of bosses, the en-
honest schemes OF public robbers.
All this il what We are told almost daily
by our friends. One man holds that THE
Sun is the best religious newspaper ever
published, BECAUSE ills Christianity Is I'M
diluted with cant. Another holds that it
is the best Republican newspaper print cd,
because it has already whipped half of the
rascals out Of that party, and IS proceed
ing against the other half with undimn-
ished vIgor. A third believes it to be t. e
best magazine OF general literature in ex.
lstence, because It's leaders miss nothing
worthy of notice that is current In the
world of thought. So every friend OF THE
Sun discovers one Of its many sides that
appeals with particular force to his indi-
vidual liking.
If you already know THE SUN you will
observe that in 1888 it is u little better
than ever before. II you do net already
know The sun, you will find it 10 be
mirror OF all human activity, a storehouse
of the choicest produlLs Of common sense
and imagination, a mainstay tor the cause
OF honest government, II sentinel for gem
uine Jeffersoran Democracy, scourgc
for witkedness OF every species, and al
uucommonly good investment for the COM
ing year.

Tbs growth of the Knieht of Labor

A year ago, when the standing
of the order was published, the
work Of the organizers was about
one lodge per day in various parts Of
the country, but this has now doubled.
The order has spread from the East

The japanese indemnity.

The final stages in the japanese IN
demnity question have been reached,
Mr.. FreIinghuysen having drawn the
sum of S7S5, ,O0O from the Treasury,
which he will forthwith pay to Japan,
as directed by the recent act OF Con
gress. simultaneously, the prize money
set apart to the officers and crew Of the
Wyoming for the part they took III the
hostilities on the japanese coast Will be
paid, and acknowledgements from Japan
will close the story This act Of restora-
ton has not been performed with ideal
grace and generosity. 1t has been de-
laved year after year when the reason
on which it IS based had been made
clear. The original sum forced from
Japan had been invested by Secretary
Seward in Government bonds and in
stead of restoring this, with its inure-
ment, Congress has given back only the
principal, and has kept the interest, a
part of the latter going to meet the
Wyoming claim and the rest being put
into the Treasury. Yet Japan borrowed
in London the money she now receives
back, and has paid high interest on it,
50 that she does not receive complete
pecuniary reparatiOn. Nevertheless,
with allowances, the act as a whole re-
mains very creditabIe. The voluntary
restitution, to nation less strong, OF
money unrighteousIy wrung from her
is a rare spectacle; and all the more
striking does it become from the fact
that the European countries that joined
the United States i'll the original de
spoiIment have made no signs of dis
gorging the plunder.

Two Telegraphic Tales.

''Did you ever hear the story that An
son Stager, formerly General Superin,
tendent Of the Western Union Tele,

"No. What is it ?"
''Well, Stager says he was one day
taking a company of his friends around
and that a local office was visited.
Stager's friends were all good operators,
and Stager boosted to them that he could
send a message as well as any operator
8" Let me get hold Of that key, said
he to the operator. The young man
complied and Stager began sending
Long out of active practice, Stager's
sending was heavy and unsteady By
and by the receiving operator, noticing
that a change Of operators had occurred,

plug is that sending?' Stager replied,
amid the laugh of his friends Had the
young man known who he was calling

little more civil
''This same Mr.. Stager tells of one of
his performances in telegraphy once that
was really wonderful He was on a train
on his way to Cincinnati when the train
was deraiIed and wrecked. They were
many miles from any station, and were
in danger of being run down by other
trains. Stager cut the wire and tele-
graphed to headquarters for wrecking
