About sixty millions copies of THE Sun have gone
out Of our establishment during the past twelve
months.
Ii you were to paste end to end all the columns
of all THE SUNS printed and sold last year you
would get a continuous strip Of interesting inior-
nation common sense wisdom, sound doctrine
aud sane wit long enough TO reach from Print

nicus in the moon then back to Printing House
square, and then three-quarters OF the way back to
the moon again.
But TIE sun Is written fer the inhabitants of the
earth; this same strip of intelligence would girdle
the gobe twenty-seyen or twenty-eight times
If every buyer OF a copy Of the SUN during the
past year has spent only one hour over it, and if
his wife or his grandfather has spent another hour
this newspaper In 1883 has aorO ed the human race
thirteen thousand years OF steady reading, night

THE NEW DIRECTORY.

McKinney's Hawaiian Directory
will be useful book and q necessity
to every office, if not every home,
in the Kingdom. 1t is even unneces-
sarily comprehensive, containing, as
it does, long lists of washermen, do
mestic servants, and others, whose
residences are in one place to-day,
another tomorrow.
1t is scarcely very valuable in
formation to know that All Sam is a
"dish-washer" at the Hotel, aname-
sake "third cook" at the same es-
Enlistment, and that fifteen others
occupy the useful position of do
nestle with various families, prob
ably q good many All Sans have
changed places since the information
was collected. 1t may be said, how
ever, that this is an error in the right
direction.
McKinney's Pacific Coast Direc-
tory is bulky volume containing a
vast amount of matter. 1t is dis
tressing, however, to note that Ho-
nolulu, Siskiyou County, California,
consists of a post-office, two hotels,
three saloons, two blacksmiths, q
butcher, and two firms engaged in
general merchandise. Is not this
taking our name in vain.

A Juvenile Affair of Honor.

A Charleston Is. CO. telegram says: So
ciety circles here are much agitated over a
cowhiding and cutting scrape which oc-
Cured at the Holy Communion Church
Institute grounds in this city yesterday.
The affair smacks very loudly OF the
old-tlme chIvalry days when pistols and
coffee for two was the regulation way
OF settling difficulties and misun1erstand-
ings. The farcical feature OF the affair
Is that all the parties are youths OF from
fourteen to sixteen years Of age. The diff
Guilty arose concerning girl said to be
thirteen years OF age, or thereabout, whose
hand was claimed at a social hop given by
the students OF the institute. At this hop
two of the youths, w. j. McKinnon and j.
G. Mellichamp. became rivals for the hand
OF one Of the juvenile bellies. Blows were
exchanged, but the parties separated.
Mellichamp afterward dispatched two
friends To McKinnon for an explanation.
McKinnon didn't explain and the trio there
upon procured cowhide, and. with the
offended Mellichamp, proceeded to the Insti-
tute grounds and appliedit to the shoulders
Of McKinnon, who, drawing knife, pro-
ceeded 10 carve his opponent, and stabbed
him in several places. The seconds be-
came involved, and general scrimmage
ensued, in which several stabs and several
black eyes We're received; after which
some OF the teachers OF the Institute put
IN an appearance and procured peace.
The event has created considerable excite
ment in youthful social circles, and unless
the parental rod is used vigorously several
Juvenile affairs of honor may be expected.

Indians Dying from Starvation.

A st. Paul (Minn.) special says: "There
is little'doubt that the Indians OF Poplar
river, Montana, are in a most deplorable
condition and are dying from absolute star
walton. At the Blackfoot agency, also, mat
tiers bave not changed for the better since
the advent OF the new agent. The Indians
are still STRIVING, and are be 'Oming so des-
perate that the commander OF the military
detachment recently sent from Fort Shaw
has deemed it advisable to remain in the
agency for the protection OF the settlers in
case OF an outbreak, which is deemed pro-
bable to occur at any moment. The set
tiers say they are at present in more dam
ger from the Piegans than from the Crees
or any other Northern tribes accustomed
to raiding the Territory. The Piegans
are dying from sheer starvation at the
rate Of three or four per day, and even tire
little children who attend the public schools
are too weak from hunger TO study. Major
Young Is held responsible for il all, and
no blame seems to attach to the new agent I;
yes it seems that the latter by proper eXer-
tons could ere this have done something
to alleviate the immediate wants OF the SUI
fering people. The agency at Belknap
seems to be theonly one IN Northern Mon
tana where the agent has taken the trouble
to provide for his helpless wards"

Murdered for His Money.

A mysterious murder for robbery wa
discovered at Cincinnati Tuesday morning
A special says: The body Of young mar
was found lying under the Cincinnati and
Newport bridge, on the Cincinnati side,
the head resting in the hand, supported by
the mud-drum OF steamboat, as If asleep.
The only wound was on the under side OF
the left jaw, and the neck was broken. The
theory that he had fallen from the bridge
was disproyed by the easy position of the
body. and by the absence Of the injuries
that fall OF sixty feet would produce. He
was well dressed, five feet ten inches In
height, about twenty-five to thirty years OF
age, sandy hair, light moustache, and very
high forehead. There was no money or
papers found on his person. The young
man was drinking last night In several sa-
looms and displaying much money, and
was at last started across the bridge. The
supposition Is that be was killed and robbed
and placed under the bridge to give the
appearance OF an accident.

Counterfeiters Arrested.

A telegram from Scranton, Pa, of June
oath says Hugh Mills and his wife were
arrested at their residence, on Washington
avenue, in the outskirts OF Scranton, tn 5
morning by United States Marshal Bar
rngton, OF Wilkesbarre, and Police-Officer
Golden, on the charge of completely in the
business of cOunterfeitinp. which has been
carried on briskly in this city for some
time. Several counterfeit silver dollars were
found in their possession. and eighteen spu-
rious dollars were discovered IN an out
house IN the rear Of their dwelling. A tin
nail with sand, such as is used in moulding,
and quantity of white metal and zinc of
the kind employed in counterfeiting silver
coins were also discovered. Mr.. and Mrs.
Mills were taken before Commissioner
Wilson for q hearing. Mills was remanded
to Wilkesbarre Jail, and his wife was adj
mitted to bail for further tearing before
Commissioner Wilson on Friday next,
Cashier James Linen, OF the First National
Bank, becoming her security. Hugh Mills
is well known i'm this city, and was for
many years employed as a moulder at the
Dickson Works. The arrest was the re-
suit OF the capture yesterday, in Wilkes
barre, OF George Bunnell and Fred Law
lor, who were circulating counterfeit dol
lars among the saloons. The young men
had hearing before Commissioner Hahn,
and one of them gave the information lead
ing to the arrest of Mills, whose brother
in-law IS also implicated. A profitable
counterieiting business has been carried on
in this city by all the parties in question
for some time past, and the principals in
the unlawful business are still at large.

JUNE %. 1884.
The Judge OF the Hastings Court having
been unable to determine who was elected
City Treasurer at our recent municipal
election, has remanded the election to the
people for their decision on the 10th OF
July, and thus we have the anomalous
affair OF a second contest within little over
month, with all OF its attendant conSe-
Quences OF excitement and some bad
blood, and that, too, with the thermOme-
ter nearing the ninetieS.
MarceIla Ryan, the murderess OF her
husband, recently convicted and sentenced
to be hanged on the Sth OF August, in this
city, is now confined in the Jail at Salem.
Her apparent indifference to the Cnormity
OF the crime OF which she has been con-
victed passed away with the sentence, and,
we are informed, she raves and mournS in
cesSantly. Her counsel is now engaged in
an effort to obtain new trial through the
intervention OF the Court OF Appeals.
The Congressional Convention for this
district will meet in this city on the eth Of
August.
The County Convention OF Roanoke will
meet i'm Salem on the eth for the purpose
OF eecting delegates to the Convention
and for the reorganization OF the party In
the county. IL is a subject Of unalloyed
regret That Major Robert W. Page, the
present able and efficient county chairman,
is indisposed TO further serve in that ca
pacity.
Mr.. F. Rorer, large landed propr1e-
tor, sold, about three weeks since,
at public auction, about forty or fifty
building lots in this city, and at
fair prices. The advantages accruing
from the sale are already perceptble in
the greatly increased impetus given to
building. The experiment has been OF so
encouraging Il character that similar sales
will again take place on the 18th. This
seems to be much more eflectual plan
Of "building up the city" than by hold
ing lard for fabulous prices.
Much damage has been done to the hay
crop by the late rains. Much OF it had
been cut, and was ruined by The frequent
rains. The wheat harvest is now in pro-
gress, and while the crop is an unusually
fine one, great fears are entertained that
the wet weather has seriously damaged it.
TIE same may be said OF the grass crop.
The weather is very hot. and the trains
passing here are pretty well filed with
people bound to some mountain fastness
or sequestered vale. REX.
