Eighteen hundred and seventy-six is tlm
Centennial year. It is also the year iu which
an Opposition House of Representatives,the,
fir Mr since the war, will be in power at
Washington ; and the year of the twenty
third election of a President ol the United
States All of these events are sure to be of
great interest aud ilnportaiiee, especially
the latter; aud all of them and everything
connected with them will be fully and" frcslr
ly rejiorted in Tut; Sun.
Tin- Opposition House of Representatives,
taking up the line of inquiry opeued years
ago by Thu Sun, will sternly and diligently
investigate the corruptions and misdeeds of
Grant's administration ; aud will, it is to lie
hoped, lay the foundation for a new and
better period in our national history. Of all
this Tun Sus will contain complete, and
accuratq accounts, furnishing its readers
with early and trustworthy information
upon these absorbing topics.
The twenty-third Presidential election,
w it li the preparations for it, will be memo
rable as deciding upon Grant's aspirations
for a third term |,f power and plunder, and
still more as deciding who shall ho the
candidate of the party of Reform, aud as
electing that candidate. Concerning nil these
subjects, those who read Tin; Sun will have
the constant mcansot being thoroughly well
informed.
The Wi ekly Sun, which has attained a
circulation of over eighty thousand copies,
already 1ms its readers iii every State and
Territory, and we trust that the year 187(1
w ill see their numbers doubled. It will con
tinue to be a thorough newspaper. All the
general news of the day will be found in it,
condensed when unimportant, at full when
of moment ; and always, we trust, treated
in a clear, interesting and instructive man
ner.
Itisonraiin to make tho Wkkklv Si:s
the best family newspaper in the world, and
we shall continue to give in its columns a
large amount of miscellaneous reading, such
as stories, tales, pig-ms, scientific intelligence
and agricultural information, for which wc
are not able to make room in our daily edi
tion. The agricultural department especially
is one ot its prominent features. The fashions
arc also regularly reported in its columns ;
and so arc the markets of every kind.
The Weekly Sun, eight pages with fifty
six broad columns is only (tl.SO a year,
postage prepaid. As tins price barely repays
the cost of the paper, no discount' can be
made from tins rate to clubs, agents, Post

I want to he a plumber,
Aud with the plumbers stand,
A busted pipe before me,
My solder in my band.
With rosin then, and acid,
Tho broken place I'd wipe.
And w hile the iron heated
Would calmly smoke my pipe.
Then I should want some charcoal,
^nd send the boy for that,
While, musing very wisely,
I on my haunches sat.
And when't was time for dinner.
We'd take two hours or more.
We'd scarcely get that hole stopped
In time to quit at four.
Our hill woubl be nine dollars;
The victim lie would scold ;
A wicked wink I'd tip him.
And, smiling, say, "That's old !"
Who woulilj/t lie a plumber,
Witli Jack Frost for his friend.
And countless frozen sink spouts
Aud busted pipes to mend 1

To keep her young from want.

And reucheth it out for her children's good,
With never a "Well, I can't."
Ah, well for the mother Pelican !
But we have another fellow can
Go over U-r reaching line:

How to Induce Horses to
lie Down, —Mr. Horne, a veteri
nary suigeon of Wisconsin, writ
ing to the Country Gentleman,
says : ".There is no better way to
coax a horse to lie down than a
good, clean, dry bed in a clean,
airy, loose box. 1 have bad houses
which would not on any account
go, even if forced, into a stall
where they had suffered, but
would go immediately and cheer
fully into any ordinary stall. Any
practical veterinarian knows how
often horses, otherwise quiet and
obedieut, refuse to approach his
infirmary, and even the sound ot
his | the doctor's] voice will pro
(luce quite a nervous trepidation
in au animal upon which be has
operated, evidently causing the
animal pain and suffering. We
very much underrate the capaci
ty* of our noble domestic animals
to appreciate a kindness or to re
sent a wrong. This is more often
manifested by the noble and faith
ful horse and dog. A change of
place will olteu give encourage
ment to a horse, and he will lie
down, although having persistent
ly stood up in his accustomed
stall, from having received au in
jury there, or fiorn its much re
sembliug the place of former suf
feriug. 1 do not claim this is the
only cause, for 1 have known hor
ses for many years that would
uot lie down anvwhere, and
w hicb had never had the above
cause for refusal. Again, I repeat,
a clean, loose box tor the best to
bring about a change iu the
horse's habits/'

Paper Barrels.
Among the numerous novel
uses to w hich paper is now-a-days
put, is the manufacture of barrels
for the carriage of such materials
as flour, sugar, etc. These bairels
are made of successive layers of
paper board cemented together,
and subjected to enormous pres
sure, the result of which is u com
pact substance with great resis
ting power. The paper is made of
straw,thus fitting and converting,
into a merchantable article, what,
iu most sections of the country, is
regarded its refuse.Tbe barrels are
perfectly cylindrical iu form,
which gives them au avautage of
twenty-five per cent, iu storage
over wooden barrels. Their weight
is about half that of a wooden
barrel, so that in a car-load a
saving of nearly one thousand
pound iu freight is made. It is
calculated that they will stand
four times the pressure that a
wooden barrel will. The invention
was patented a lew months ago,
aud two factories are now engag
ed iu the manufacture*—one at
Winona, Wis., and one at i)eeo
rah, Iowa. At the latter factory,
1.000 barrels per day are turned
out, with a consumption of five
tons ot paper. It is claimed for
them that they can be made twen
ty per cent, cheaper than the
wooden barrels. They may be
rendered absolutely air-tight, anil
it is claimed that they w ill resist
moisture longer than they are
likely ever to be exposed to it.
They are made in quarter, half,
and full sizes The inventor is
sanguine that they ate destined
entirely to supersede tho wooden
barrel.
On Saturday evening, Marshal
Packard received from a gentle
man, whom the Marshal considers
a reliable party, the following
telegram :
Bayou Sara, Dec. 25, 1875.
S. B. Packard. U. S. MaivJial:
More disorders here yesterday.
Two strangers supposed to be
Deputy Marshals, were kidnap
ped, last night, at Henrietta's ho
tel by masked men. Their where
abouts is uot known.
Marshal Packard states that
the telegram may refer to the
capture of Dep'ty Marshal Young,
who left here on Friday, 17th insl,
for Jackson, East Feliciana, with
a warrant for the arrest of— Car
nahan, Deputy Postmaster at that
place,ehaiged with irregularities
iu office, and deficiency iu ac
counts.
The Marshal has heard nothing
from Young since his departure,
eau only imagine that the latter,
having secured his prisoner, has
been thus crusaded by the prison
er's friends.
There is also a possibility that
one of the kidnapped parties is
the renowned J. F. Barrett, Jr.,
who is known to have been brow
zing around in that section of the
country. The latter supposition is
a reasonable one, provided the

Surprising Surgery. —A fel*
low got a fearful blow on the
head with a stone spittoon in a
South C street saloon night be
fore last. The blow left his head
all out of shape. There was a dent
in one side of it about four inches
deep. Some of those present said
the fellow's head could never be
got in shape again. A wise-look
ing little old gentleman in spec
tacles said he could fix it. Procu
ring an ordinary hand bellows he
inserted the nozzle into the ear of j
the injured man. After a tew puffs
with the little machine the fel -1
low's bead was brought out as ;
smooth and plump as a freshly-1
blown bladder, and he got up and j
walked off as fine-looking a man
as he was liefore the injury.

Mexican Border Raiding.
THE REMEDY THAT WAS
PROPOSED BY MINIS
TER FOSTER.
The Mexican Secretary of Foreign
Affair* Unable Ut Permit United
State* Troop* to Occupy the Thief
Invested Territory.
W ashington, Dec. 20.—It ap
pears from official correspondence
that last summer Minister Foster
represented to the Mexican Gov
ernment that it was iu the power
of the Government of the United
States to provide, a remedy [with
the approval or cousentof that of
Mexico) for the frequent, inenrsions
and depredations committed by
Mexicans on the American side of
the Kio Grande. The remedy he
pioposed was permission for the
regular troops ofthe United States
to follow tiie raiders across the
border wheu iu close pursuit, or,
what would bo still more effica
cious, permissiom to temporarily
occupy certain [mints on the Mex
ieau side where the raiders are ac
customed to cross the river. The
reply of the Mexican Secretary of
Foreign Affairs was, that the Ex
ecutive had uo authority to grant
such permission without the con
sent of Congress, and it would
uot be prudent to ask tor such
consent, as the sentiment of the
country would uot approve it. Mr.
Foster remarked to the Secieta
ry that, should the depredations
continue audit should be apparent
tiiat uo serious atteinpt was made
by the Mexican authorities to re
strain or punish the iaiders, a
repetition of Gen. McKinzie's
course might be anticipated, as a
protection to the citizens of Tex
as must be afforded, aud if not
given by the Mexican Govern
ment it would come from the
United States.
In addition to the denial ot Mr.
Mariscai, Mexican Minister to the
United States, of [lending nego
tiations for the acquisition of
Mexican territory, it may be sta
ted that Miuister Foster inform
e.i the Mexican Government that
he was authorized to give the as
surance that our Government
had no information of any design
for acquiring an extension of ter
ritory on that frontier, but the
public press of the United States,
in reporting the frequent incur
sions and depredations, was crea
ting a strong public sentiment iu
favor of an aggressive and vigo
rous policy on the part ot the
Government, aud the acknowl
edgment by the Mexican Govern
ment of its inability to restrain
the lawlessness of its own uiti
zens would afford tnt strongest
possible argument to all advo
cates of the acquisition of territo
ry there may be in the United
States.
To Preserve a Bouquet.—
The American Artisan says :
"When you receive a bouquet,
sprinkle it with fresh water ; then
[nit it into a vessel containing
some soap-suds, which nourish
the roots aud keep the liowers as
good as new. Take the lionquet
out of the suds every morning
and lay it sideways in fresh wa
ter, the stock entering first into
the water. Keep it there a minute
or two, then take it out aud spruik
lc the flowers liglitiy by the hand
with pure water. Replace the bon
quet in soap suds, aud the flow
ers will bloom as fresh as when
gathered. The soap-suds need to
be charged every third day. By
obeiving there rules, a liompiet
[j e kept bright and beautiful
for at i t . aRt one month, and will
last longer in a very passable
R tate ; but the attention to the
f a j r font frail creatures, as direct
e ,i above, must be strictly observ
e( j ? or »(| ie ] as t rotw 0 f summer'
will not be 'left blooming alone,'
but will perish."
—The orange crop of Louisiana
this year exceeds any crop ever
raised in the State. They are not
only abundant ou the trees, but
the number ot trees now in bear
ing far surpasses all former years,
Xot only small orchards have
been added to, but many large
orchards have been plained aud
are now just fruiting for the first
time,
—The rice crop of Louisiana
amounted to ouly 3,000 barrels iu
I860, and from that sum it has
steadily increased. The yield this
year will doubtless reach 200.000
barrels. Oue planter in the par
ishes of St. Bernard anti Plaque
mine has 2,500 acres in rice. The
culture of this profitable crop
will be extended next year to the
Red river bottom lauds.
The Inter-Ocean Confesses
Judgment.
Washington, Dec. 27.— The In
ter-Ocean managers evidently
realize that they were guilty of a
serious mistake when they per
mitted tin ir extraordinary publi
cation of Saturday, charging Se
cretary Bristow with complicity
iu the whisky frauds, to see the
light. They have telegraphed to
friends in this city that they are
satisfied that, the publication was
a great blunder, Mr. Palmer, tho
editor-in-chief, stating that- it was
made without any consultation
with him. Gen. Babcock called on
the Secretary today, and stated
that ho had uo partin nor respon
sibility fir the article, which he
declared was infamous in every
respect. He said to his friends to
day, with great emphasfe, that ho
would much prefer conviction on
the indictment than be considered
a fool. This is believed to be tho
end of the war of the whisky riug
upou Bristow, who conies out of
it stonger than he went in. It was
at first beleived that Senator Lo
gan was a party to tne Iuter
Oceau's attack upon the Secretary
but subsequent developments
seem to clear him of the suspi
cion.
An unlucky Frenchman was
walking in the country with n
friend who possessed a inagnifi
cent Newfoundland dog, aud in
cautiously questioned the the
truth of the animal's sagacity.
The dog's maiister, vexed at the
slur cast on his favorite, gave Ills
friend u push and k(Kicked hiiu
into a shallow river. Turk imme
diately sprang upon him, and seiz
ing one of tho tails of the immer
sed man's coat, commenced to
swim for land. Unfortunately
another Newfoundland, trotting
along the other side of tho river,
saw the affair, aud also came to
the rescue. Dog number two
seized the other tail of the coat
aud wished to swim back to hj*
master. Turk held fast aud strag
gled for his side, and the owner
of the coat gave way, and eacn
dog swam proudly home with a
piece of cloth in his mouth, so
that Turk's master was obliged
to plunge in himself to save biz
friend.
