PLAGUE AND FAMINE.-The news
from the plague-stricken region of
Egypt is startling. Provisions have
given out in Damietta, and the pso-

within the lines are not permitted to
seek food elsewhere for fear Of carry

THE SUN.
NEW YORK, 1883.

MORE people have read The Sun dur
Nl ing the year just now passing than
ever before since it 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
tractiye form and with the greatest possi-
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 days in the year,
before election as well as after, about tue
whales as we'll as the small fish, in the face
of dissent as plainly and iearlessly 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 is everyb0dy's newspaper.
No man is SO 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
sometimes almost alone among newspa-
pers, the fight that has resulted in the re-
cent overwhelming popular verdict against
Robesonism and Tor honest government.
No matter what party is in power, The
SUN stands and will continue to stand like
q rosk for the interests of the people
against the ambition of bosses, the en-
croachments OF monopolsts, and the dis
honest schemes of public robbers.
All this is 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 un-
diluted with cant. Another holds that il
ia the best Republican newspaper printed,
because it has already whipped halt efthe
rascals out of that party, and Is proceed
ing against the other half with undimin-
ished y1gor. A third believes il to be the
best magazine OF general literature in eX-
istence, because its readers 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 1883 ii is little better
than ever before. If you do not already
know THE SUN, you will find it 10 be
mirror of all human activity, storehouse
of the choicest products of common sense
and imagination, mainstay for the cause
of honest government, sentinel for gen
uine Jetfersonian Democracy, u scourgo
for wickedness OF every species, and an
uucommonly good investment for the COM
Ing year.

PEACE is letter than joy. Joy is
an uneasy guest, and is always on tip
toe to depart. 1t tires and wars us
out, and yet keeps us ever fearing
that the next moment it will be gone.
Peace is not SO. 1t comes more quiet
ly, it stays more contentedly and
it never exhausts our strength,
nor gives US one anxious, for ecasting
thought.

POLISHING THE WRONG End
Many men daily polish their boots
who never give thought to the con-
dition Of their hair, except to harrow
it cut with brush and comb, or SUBJ
NIT it 10 the attentions of the average
barber. What happens? Why this:
From neglect, mental anxiety, or any
Of score Of causes, the hair turns
prematurely gray and begins to fall
out. Psrker's Hair Balsam will at
once stop the latter process and re.
store the original color. An elegant
dressing, free from grease.

Recognizing the fact that the relation
ship existing between the Counties o
Maryland and the City of Baltimore is
such that residents of the Counties have
occasion to visit the City frequently dur
ing the year; in consideration of these
facts and the liberal patronage extended
the "Maltby" in the past, deem it but
matter of justice that some discrimination
should be made in their favor. l have
therefore concluded to
Reducethe Price of Board to 81 day
feeling confident that the same will be fully
appreciated by them, and at the same time
merit and secure an increased share OF
their patronage. Assuring them that
nothing will be lett undone that can add

In view of the closer relations between New
York and Brooklyn, IL not their ultimate num-
cipal as well as business union, likely to be
brought about by the opening OF the new BRIDGE
the illness Of common name for the two cities
seems to be widely conceded and not few have
already been suggested. The Matt ana Express
seriously urges the name OF ssManhattanr as a
general title for both cities AMI their suburbs
lying within the state OF New York, and that the
present name OF each be abolished except for pur-
poses OF local distinction. Another paper in a
spirit OF evity perhaps, rather with any hope that
1t will be adopted, suggests "Yorklyn." This is
net so bad, odd as 1t may look and sound at first,
since, while 1t Is in sense original, 1t retains
something Of both the old names, and 1t would
soon grow euphoniouS with Use.
1t is not likely that the idea will be carried out;
but II Is really more feasible than at first thought
might be supposed The name of Williamsburg
was lost in short time In that OF Brooklyn, and
the general name OF Philadelphia soon wiped out
those OF the several boroughs which 1t absorbed a
while ago, Just as that OF London now puts out Of
View those OF Isngton, kenSngton, Lambeth and
otaer suburbs, containing population OF nearly
Sparter OF million each. A secondhand name like
mat OF New York is really no proper title for so
great city as that which now bears 1t; but
whether any other would be worth the trouble re-
qufred to get 1t IS another matter The first step
would be to have the change legalised by the state
legislature and the councils of the two Cities and
AFTER that the new name would be In little time
Aaopted and confirmed by popular usage.

The Intelligent compositor is not to have all the
glory as bungler. There are intelligent corre-
srondeIts as well. Referring to the location of
the residence recently bought here by Representa-
tive Cox, the correspondent OF one OF the New
fork papers enlightens the constituents of that
gentleman as follows:
dupont Circle is one OF those many government
reservations at the junction OF the diagonal ave-
slleS with the right-angle streets peculiar to
washington. 1t Is directly northeast OK the
Arlington Hotel, at the point where Vermont and
massachusetts, avenues cross. II Is the circle
which Gen. Grant thought at one time would be
the choice circle in Washington, and on which he
onit two houses for speculation"
Barring the facts that Dupont Circle lies north
west. instead OF northeast, OF the Arlington; that
Thomas and not Dupont Circle lies sat the point
Waere Vermont AMI Massachusetts, avenues
Cross that the reservation were Gen. Grant
once owned some property Is not Dupont but low
Circle; and that 1t lies not at the crossing Of Yer
mont and Massachusetts, avenues, but at the
crossing OF Rhode Island and Vermont avenues
the above IS a very accurate description. 1t
ocateS the property In question in Washington.
