LEMON STREET,
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 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 COperncuS in the moon, then back to
Printing House square, and then three-quar-
tiers of the way back to the moon again.
But THE SUN is written for the inhabitants
OF the earth; this same strip of intelligence
would grdle the globe twenty-seven 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 af-
torded the human race thirteen thousand years
or steady reading, night and day.
lC Is only by little calculations like these that
you can form any idea of the circulation 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- news
paper which tells the truth without fear of
consequences which gets at the facts no mat
ter how much the process costs, which presents
the news ali 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-
HeveS that the Republican party must go, and
must go III this coming year Ofs our Lord 1884
If you know THE SUN, you like it already
and you will read it with accustomed diligence
and profit during what is sure to be the most
interesting year in its history If Won do not
know THE sun, it is high time to get into the
sunshine.

The Lawyer Monopoly.

I'D. G. Croly in John Swinton's Paper.]
Establish free courts of arbitration to set
tie disputes without the interposition of
swindling lawyers and courts. The stock,
produce, cotton and other exchanges now en-
Joy all the benefits of arbitration, for it is the
rule in all of them that the member who re-
sorts to litigation loses his seat. Justice
should be cheap and certain. One class, not
over 10000 in number throughout the United
States, furnishes all our rulers, lawmakers,
and judges; that is to say, the second-class
LAWYERS furnish nearly all our presidents,
cabinet secretaries governors, mayors, con-
gressmen, legislators, and members of local
government boards. say second-class law
yers advisedly, for frst-class lawyers can
make more money in their plundering
profession than in holding offices.
The lawyer caste in this country makes all
our laws, expounds them from the bench,
and enforces them in executive Offices. The
lawyer is supreme everywhere, even in so
called reform organizations. Scarcely
newspaper in the country but what some
lawyer has more to say than its managing
editor.

DauGet and About.


The chair of Sandeau is now competed for
by Alphonse Daudet and Edmond About.
The former is an exquisite novelist, but only
that. His rival has many strings to his bow,
and can use them all with masters hand.
He is IL journalist and polemist of the highest
order, every inch a man, healthy in body
and in mind, warm-hearted, and sharp
tongued when vexed, writes and speaks
French as might a grandson of
Voltaire and Diderot, is frank as a
man who has risen direct from
the popular class, thinks the best of those he
likes, and says the worst of those who anger
him. He is one of the best family men in
Paris With his wife and ten children he oc-
cupies handsome and most comfortable
town house and chateau in the country, in
both of which the value of hospitality is
largely exercised. Daudet through his brother
Ernest, may count on good number of Or
leanist votes But many Of the forty do not
like the idea Of having him at their Thursday
meetings. What they object to in him is his
habit of observing those whom he is with
as if they were insects stuck on the glass
plate of a microscope.

Gen. 80 Shelby and John Brown.
kansas City Times.


Gen. 10 Shelby, the famous ex-Confeder-
ate. referred to the recent publications re-
fecting upon the character of John Brown,
of Osawatomie. II knew John Brown well"
he said. II freighted with him in Kansas,
and fought with him in Kansas. know
him thoroughly, and 1 tell you Drawer or
more gallant man never breathed. It's all a
mistake to say John Brown was coward"
"Do YOU think he murdered people, as is
charged"
"Why, of course he did; but it was simply a
measure of retaliation. He didn't have any
the best of u.s. We killed and John Brown
killed. There was no difference on that score.
1t was an unfortunate thing for the south
when John Brown was hung. But suppose
the irresistible conflict, as Sumner said, would
have gone on until the negro was freed. The
abolition of slavery was to be, suppose, and
after all I am really glad the negroes were
set Free"

Camphor-sn5ffing 7zatinees.
Detroit Free Press.


This is the latest craze Of fashionable So
ciety. Ladies who are semi-invalids, and de-
barred from the pleasures of gay life, are in
vited to the house Of one of their number,
and requested to bring their bottles. The
hostess receives them in stylish negligee and
seated in reclining position with her cam
phor bottle in her hand Soon all the visitors
are seated, bottles are produced, and the
hostess opens the ball by uncorking her bot
tie and taking preliminary sniff. Then all
the guests take a sniff; then prolonged series
of shifts; meanwhile envious and distressed
chances are directed to cut glass and decor
ated bottles and one old lady upset the equi-
ibrium of a whole company by appearing
with colored camphor. The correct thing is
an ordinary half-pint white bottle.Ssith a
cork stopper, but red or blue ribbon may
be tied round its neck. The effect on the
camphor sniffer is said to be both soothing
and exhilarating, but few spiteful outsiders
delare that it is benefit to the complexion.
Be this as it may, the fact remains that is the
very latest dissipation in the fluid refresh
ment line

Australia's Great Falls

An American travelling in Australia thus
describes the famous Wentworth falls: At
first the water leaps distance of 700 feet, as
though falling over the back to the seat Of a
great arm chair cut out of the face of the
mountain by some giant of nature. Falling
In spray, it gathers itself for another run and
leap, the second time falling over 800 feet
into the great gorge below The fall is SO far
and the foliage SO dense at the foot that the
eve fails to see the second gathering place Of
the clouds Of spray glittering in the sunlight
1900 feet below The valley below the falls
spreads out into a great ampitheatre fifty
miles across, and hemmed in on every side
but one with the perpendicular walls Of the
mountain. No human foot has eyer beer
known to tread this valley.

THE MODERN BARTENDER.
TIE Things which 60 to Make Up
Professional of the Period.


Just in proportion as the elegance OF the
saloon predominates, SO does "style" obtain
among those who are employed to serve up
the decoctions. The modern hotel clerk with
his dazzling diamond and beautiful buttonhole
bouquet is no more of swell in his way than
the barkeeper Of the period. There are
various grades of bartenders, as there are
distinctions in the young men who preside in
the offices Of first-class hotels. A young man
who aspires to the honors has to begin by
washing glasses, freeing them from the
aroma of all that is beautiful in bibulous
way, and leaving them SO that there is no
faint of what has been to interfere with the
flavor of what is to be.
A probationary period enables the bar
keeper to gauge the merit Of the fedgling,
and if che has the material in him" he is
taken in hand and put through course Of
object study. He is permitted to draw beer
and ale and wait upon such customers as
take it straight He also fills the bottles, and
when opportunity occurs he watches the
man of experience make the drinks which
call for nicely in choice Of quantity of the
various materials used, and a high grade of
taste in the selection of the ingredients them

Banjo Playing Down South.
TChicapo Times.


Joel Chandler Harris confirms the asser-
ton that the negroes of the south know little
about the banjo. 1t is not only difficult, but
impossible, to displace the banjo playing
stage negro in literature with the real negro.
It is only so at the north, but in a great meas
ure at south. The first song Mr.. Harris ever
learned was string of nonsense with the
chorus, "I'm gwine to Alabama, wild my banjo
on my kneep There was another in which a
negro who was supposed to have lost his Nellie
Gray, declared he would "take his banjo
down and sing little song" Nelly, in the
meantime, was down in Georgia "a-toiling in
the cotton and the cane" These songs and
hundreds of similar ones, were written by
white men who knew even less about the
negro than they did about metre; but the
ditties were sung all over the country, and
there was nobody in the south unwilling to
laugh spontaneously at the idea of negro
toiling in the cane of Georgia, where none is
grown The banjo he has never seen a plan
tation negro play. He has heard them pas
SADLY use the fiddle, the flute, and fife, and
blow tin trumpet with surprising skill;
but never banjo, a tambourine, or pair
