About sixty million copies Of THE Sun
have gone out of our establishment dur.
lug the past twelve months.
IL you were to paste end to end all the
columns Of all THE SUNS printed and sold
last year you would get q continuous
strip OF interesting information, common
sense wisdom, sound doctrine, and sane
wit long enough to reach from Print
ing House Square to the top of Mt
Copernicus in the moon, then back to
Printing House Square, and then three.
quarters of the way back to the moon
again.
But The Sun is written for the nhabt-
ants of the earth; this same strip of in
telligcnce would grdle the globe twenty
seven or twcnty-cight times.
If every buyer Of Il copy Of THE sun
during the past year has spent only one
hour over it, and if his wife or his grand
father spent another hour, this newspaper
in 1888 has afforded the luman race 10000
years of steady reading, night and day.
1t Is only by little calculations like these
that you can form any idea Of the circula-
ton Of the most popular of American
newspapers, or of its influence on the
opinions and actions of American men
and women.
THE Sun is, and will continue to be, a
newspaper which tells the truth without
fear of consequences, which gets at the
facts no matter how much the process
costs, which presents the news of all the
world without waste of words and in the
most readable shape, which Is working

to be the most interesting year in its his

it is high time to get into the sunshine.

MEMO.
Our astu,e neighbor of the Standard
had an editorial on the Woodstock rail-
road last week, and he feels as elated
over it as young wife over her first
born, and says an article published
year ago had much to do in keeping
the interest of the town in view by the
managers. In his recent article he
quotes from the former: "lf it (the
road) holds its own the town ought to
receive this year not less than ten
thousand dollars" He says he set
this as mark, and he feels proud that
the managers have kept it in view and
labored to come up to it. Here is
egotism for yon. We will wager
plug hat that the managers never gave
it a thought, except to laugh or scott
at it at the time. The road has paid
in all it could afford to the town every
year, and this year, business being
good, and expenses light, it has done
better, and paid $4,000, what 1t will be
the ensuing year no fellow can tell.
Hadn't the Standard better raise its
figures to SIS, 900? We have always
defended the road, believing it to be in
the hands Of capable and honest men,
who would do as well by the town as
they could and keep the road in proper
trim. This is our opinion, and it is as
free as the street show of circus.
The above was "crowded out" of
asst week S issue, but as the Standard
keeps on airing its 'prophesy,' it is
lot too late to "crowd it in"

The wreck of the steamship, City Of
Columbus, is the sad event of last
week. She sailed from Boston Thurs
day, for southern ports, with Il heavy
cargo, 100 passengers, and crew of
20, nearly all Of whom were lost, as
the gale was heavy at the time, and
boats were of no account. She went
ashore Friday afternoon, on shoal at
Devils Bridge, off Gay Head, at the
extreme northwest point of Martha's
Vineyard. A gentleman arriving in
Boston from the wreck gives this
touching incident -
Among the confused mass who were
struggling and screaming was noticed
Il middle-aged man and his wife.
Their conduct was in marked contrast
with that of the other passengers. The
panic which had seized the others was
not shared by them, but their blanchcd
faces told that they realized the peril
which surrounded them. The only
movement Of muscles or nerves was
that produced by the chilling atmos-
phere. They stood close together,
their hands clasped in each other, as if
about to contemplate suicide together
and thus fulfil the marital VOW of
standing by each other in the varying
tide of life's fortunes and misfortunes.
AS the wreck careened with the gale
from one side to the other, and while
the spray and waves were drenching
them at every moment, the husband
turned and imprinted kiss upon the
companion of his life, and while thus
embraced heavy sea broke over the
wreck and both We're washed away and
not seen atterward.
