''lf the Sabbath was made for man,
how shall we manage it so as to secure
the highest blessings for man?n
For one thing, we must have appro-
pirate Sunday laws, and must sustain
them by enlightened public sentiment.
On this point | wish to emphasize
two remarks.
1st Sunday laws are absolutely essen
tial to secure the Sunday rest '.the law
of rest for all on Sunday is necessary TO
the liberty of rest for any Why SOP
Because of the competitions of trade
and labor. Because of the power of
corporations, in factories and railroads.
Sunday laws protect the laborer from
becoming the slave, and protect the
business man also from his business.
Nearly 500 shop-keepers of Zurich,
Switzerland, petitioned the city coun-
ell that all trade on Sunday be Off
eially stopped A few stores kept open
at first seemed to compel other shop
keepers to do the same, and the conti-
mental Sunday has become a nuisance
to them. Yet some people in this coun-

those of our own state for example, for

in the election is subsiding, the Demo-
crafts still feeling enthusiastic over their
great success in Virginia, which was q
most hoped for result, but totally uneX-
pectcd, as every one believed Malone
possessed absolute cOntral over the
State. The Democratic success in this
State, while not what it was hoped for,
still gives confidence, and the Demo-
Gratis believe it certain for the party in
1884. However, one thing was proved
from Maynard's running so largely be-
hind his ticket: that he, the ineXpe-
diency of any party nominating a pro-
nounced prohibitionist, or Zone idea"
man, of whatsoever nature. The Dem
ocratic victories in New Jersey and
Maryland more than offset the loss in
Massachusetts,, consequently matters in
political circles are assuming their old
status.

A Rich Mans Dread,

A singular evidence of 4 rich mans
dread exists in Syracuse. New York.
This is found in the form of a tent erect
cd beside the grave of the late +. b.
Alyord, Of that city. Inside the tent is
q watchman.w who guards the tomb from
sunset to sunrise. Mr.. Alvord had q
dread of grave-robbers. Possibly this
feeling was stimulated by his remem-
brance of the peculiar outrage perpe-
trated years ago in NewYork City. Mr..
Alvord's dread SO grew by what it fed
on that he made arrangements for the
guard TO which we have referred TO be
kept up for some months. In addition
to this, the coffin is walled up with ma
sonry and covered with a slab cemented
TO the stone wall. BY most people pre-
cautions like this will be deemed super
tluouS. The gravc-robberies which take
place in the course of year are eX-
tremely few. Compared with other
oilenseS. they hardly enter into the sta
tistics o! crime.

THE SUN.
NEW YORK, 1884.

About sixty million copies of THE Sun have gone
out of our establishment during the past twelve
months.
If you were to paste end to end all the columns of

But THE Sun is written for the inhabitants of the

II every buyer OF copy Of TIE Sun during the

1t is only by little calculations like these that you
can form any idea OF the circulation Of the most pop
ular of American newspapers, of its influence on
the opinions and actions of American men and wo-

The Sun is, and will continue to be, a newspaper
which tells the truth without fear of consequences,
which gets at the facts matter how much the pro-

ptai1 Tricssoa's Torpid Boat, the De-

stroyer.
The New York Times says that what

John Ericsson's torpedo boat Destroyer,
which the inventor thinks, will destroy

thrown against their sides. In the gun,
which pointed out at the bow. about
eight feet below the surface of the wa

was the proiectile which in war should
be supplied with q torpedo at the conf
Cal shaped tip, to explode on striking
the side of ship and blow her to pieces.
In the experiments q net will be low
cred into the sea to serve rs target ana
to be fired at ut distances of from 800
to 500 feet. On the bow of the little
craft, which was almost submerged,
were two wooden floats to support the
net in the water. The projectiles are
hollow and made so that they will float
The tendency to rise is so carefully adj
iusted as not to interfere with the flight
under the water or to destroy the aim.
They are expected to come to the sur
face about 700 feet from the vessel, and
they win pursue perfectly horizontal
course for 500 feet ut least. They will
travel the first 500 feet in three seconds,

no occasion to use the torpedoes. The
| object will be to test the distance Of
flight and the accuracy of aim. The
experiments heretofore have been con-
Quoted in still water, and the firing off
Sandy Hook will be the first deep sea

speed of seventeen knots an hour, and

for everything can be battened down
and no water can get into her. Blowers
ventilate the boat perfectly. All her
working apparatus is below water, and

able her in IN engagement If the iron
house built on top of her and her smoke
stack were knocked off entirely it would
make no difference. She would be as
serviccable as ever. A steel plate 1S

out through small hole ona level with
his eyes to get his bearings. He can
touch off the gun when he goes in exact
range, and Immediately back off to
safety. There is dummy plug at the
opening in the boat where the projectie

| projectilc, and valve closes over the
hole to keep out the water. Only
enough water to fill the gun can get in
anyway, and this can be quickly pump
cd out by 4 steam siphon. SO there is
no danger from this source. There is
no room to spare on the boat, but suffi-
cent for the uses required. The De-
stroyer is the only craft that shoots q

QUICK WORK.
How Bishop Beclkwith Raised $1,000
in Eight Months.

ATLANTA Constitution.
An interesting incident took place
Sunday morning in St. Luke's Cathe-
dral. As Is generally known, when
the new church was finished in the
spring, it was found to be too small,
and almost before it was used three
months, steps were taken to enlarge it..
The work Of raising sufficient funds
was soon accomplished, and the archi-
tect gave the plans to the builders.
Bishop Beckwith announced that no
money would be needed, and the
work proceeded, \ esterday he sur
prised his congregation by telling
them ihat they had miscalculated, and
that 81 200 was needed to complete
the work.
"Now," said Bishop Beckwith, af.
ter an earnest talk, II want to raise
this money right here to-day, and Will
start the subscription list myself with
500. Can get five others 10 give
Sl00 each?" When the amount wa:
footed up correctly it was found to be
Sl,375, or Sl75 more than was needed
Altogether it did not take longer thar
| ten minutes to raise the entire amount
one gentleman sayiug that it took i'e
eight minutes. 1t was really toe
pecs for Bishop BecEwitR : and |,
cause he represented. The conge y
ton departed delighted with the MON
ings work, the Bishops success il
raising the money being an additiona
