On election day a wagon load of negroes

ticket after they have murderedy your brethren
in Danville2' DIR. Wise urged them to vote
the Coalition ticket, and avenge the murder
of their fellows. The witness stepped up and
told DR.. Wise that he knew the statement was
false ana it should not go. uncontradicted.
The witness thereupOn OGered the negroes the
Democratic ticket. The men went on aud got
their tickets elsewhere. The witness des-

The news of a remarkable natural
phenomenon is reported from Bona,
in Algeria. An issolated mountain,
the Dshebel Naibo, 500 feet high, is
sinking into the earth. Round its
foot there is a deep hollow, and be
fore long the mountain will disap-
pear The district of Bona has
once before witnessed a similar
event; the Lake Fezzara, of more
than 10000 hectares, did not exist
in the time of the Romans. St. Au-
gustine, who lived at Bona, des-
cribed the whole district without
once mentioning the lake, and re-
searched in 1870 have resulted in
the discovery of the ruins of Ro-
man town at the bottom of the lake.
As IN Arabian writings there is
nothing to be found concerning the
formation Of the lake, it is supposed
that it han existed only for about
1000 years.

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 col
umnS of all THE Sun printed aud sold last year
you would get continuous strip of interesting
information. common sense wisdom, sound
doctrine, and sane Wit long enough to reach
from Printing House square to the top OF
Mount COpernicus in the moon, then back to
Printing House square, and then thTee-quar-
tiers of the way back to the moon again.
But TIE SUN is written for rle inhabitants
OF the earth; this same strip Of intelligence
would giIdlP the globe twenty-seEen or
twenty-eight times.
If every buyer OF q 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 1888 has af-
IOrded the human race thirteen thousand years
of steady reading. night and day.
1t is only by little calculations like these that
most popular of American newspapers. or OF
its influence on the opinions and actions Of
American men and women.
The sun is, ana will continue to be- news
paper which tells the truth without faar of
consequences, which gets at the facts no mat
ter how much the process costs, which presents
the news all over the world without waste of
words and in the most readable shape, which
IS working with all its heart for the cause of
honest government. and which therefore be
heYes that the Republican party must go, and
must go in this coming year of our Lord, 1884.
If you know THE sun, you like il already,
and You viii read it with accustomed diligence
and profit during what is sure 10 be the most
interesting year in its history. If you do not
know THE sun, it is high time to get into the
sunshine.

A INTER SONG.


Luther j.. Childress in courier-Journal.J
The cold moons wax and the warm suns wans
In the hollow heavens over world and plain,
And the hastsaing ciou1, with an eerie glow,
Over field and forest scuds swift and low,
While the cracking trees in their ic~e-wrought
mail
Sway back and forth in the northern gale.
Oh, let's follow the track of the blast
With speed Of the antelope scattering pasti
Away, away with the huTrying windI
While the wutsry elements freeze and blend,
Our young limbs gathering strength to leap
Down the rocky reaches, over chasms deep,
Through the naked woods, over sands and
loan,
Past the girding hills to the Storm Kings
homel
For couched on the range In fold upon fold
OF clouds in the shapes Of pyramids rolled,
With the nghtningis lurid, but shsath'd, lance
The thunder dreams in his winter trance,
While tue awful earthquake with heavier
eyes,
Like a slumbering mastodon nethermost lies,
Where his wild pulse beats in its softest
When the thunder awakes with his turpitude,
In the crowded mountain that walls and
wells
The ebon home whore the Storm King dwells;
Where the buffalo bides and his clay-licks
loom
At the tall cliffs base through the dark
wood's gloom;
Where the baby winds, bonding the wan-like
canes,
At their pleasure sport down the narrow
lanes;
Till. startled pell-mell at the hurricanes
crash
Oh, the sound they lovel-and away they
dash;
One leap, and their wings fan the topmost
grove
As they mount, condorlike, to the clouds
abovei
Haste, love, hastei Let us look once more
On the great strange face that we both
adore;
Aud gaze from the summit down on the vale
Where cyclones, nurtured, are aunched on
the gale;
With the strife of nature our souls imbued
Throb glad response TO the Storm Kings
brood,
And never wine passeth whose soar is heard
But We feel with Its mystery joyfully stirred!

c-oRREee1o,s LAST ANGEL

The monks had shut his picture in. and
yearning
For one more last look, one, and yet one
more,
Heavily laden, with the hollows burning
In his dusk cheek. he left the convent door.
Through the south sun he wandered home
ward, moaning:
"His Christ for silver gave the Jew Of old;
Have l not sinned, like him, beyond atoningi
Ny Christ for copper l to-day have sold"
Alone he walked, afraid to meet the faces
He loved the most on earth-Ah, bitter
fate!
his beautiful starving children, with hot
traces
or tears on cheeks, were crowded at the
gate.
But one, the youngest, spent with innocent
weeping,
Touched by the weirm moon with a tender
beam,
Among the shadows in the straw lay sleeping,
Forgetting all and laughing at her dream.
Her father looked at her and lifted slowly
His dying hand-"Giye me my brush" no
said
When his LAST Angel radiant and holy,
Looked at him with his child's eyes, he was
dead.
All, f~ever-smitten painteri If not knowing
h thing they did, those clustered
Gave death witt bread, they left a legend,
showing
What glory may be gathered from despair.
Gold, that is light to lift and quick to fly,
The loveliest angel glimpsed this side OF
Had waited, wingless, till the hour to die,
