THE WEEKLY STY.
J876
NE>V YORK.
1876
for a thii
Eighteen hundred and seventy-six is the
Centennial year. It is also tho year in which
an Opposition House of Representatives,the
first since the war, will bo in ] lower at
Washington ; and toe year of tlie twenty
third election of a president of the Unjfed
States All of these events are sure to be qf
great interest and importance, especially
tho latter; aud all of them and everything
connected witli thorn will be fully and fresh
ly reported in The Sun.
The Opposition House of Representatives,
taking up the line of inquiry opened years
ago by The Sun, will sternly and diligently
investigate the corruptions and misdeeds of
Grant s udmiuistrqfion ; and will, if i* to lie
hoped, lay tlie foundation for q new and
better period in our national historv. Of all
this Tiik SyN will contain complete and
accurate accounts, famishing its readers
with early and trustworthy information
upon these absorbing topics.
The twopty-third Presidential election,
with the preparations fbr it, wili be memo
rable as deciding upon GTant's aspirations
hint term of power ant] plunder, and
deciding 'whq shall be the
-------- r - -he party of Reform, apd as
el6cting that candidate. Concerning all these
subjects, those who read The Sun will have
the constant means ot being thoroughly well
informed.
The Weekly Sun, which has attained a
circulation of over eighty thousand copies,
already has its readers in every State and
Territory, and we trust that the year 1876
will see their numbers doiihled. It will con
tinue to lie a thorough newspaper. All the
general news of the day will be found in it,
cundensed when unimportant, at full when
of moment ; and always, we trust, treated
in a clear, interesting and instructive man
ner.
It is our aim to make the Weekly Sun
the best family npwspapcr iu«ke world, and
we shall continue to give in its columns a
largo amount of miscellaneous reading, such
as stories, tales.poems, scientific intelligence
and agricultural information, for which we
are not able to make room in our daily edi
tion. Tlie agricultural department esiie'cially
is one of its prominent fen tureq. The fashions
are also regulai(y reported in its columns ;
and so arc the markets of every kind.
The Weekly Sun, eight pages with fifty
six broad columns is only 81 , 2 ft a year,
postago prepaid. As this price barely repays
the cost of the paper, no discount can be
made from this rate to clubs, agents, Post
m .sters, or anyone.
Fhe Daily Sun, a large fonr page newspa

news tor two cents a copy, -•'ubscription,

Mrs. Wootjl)ull lectured lust
evening in Cooper Ipstitute on
"Woman's Curse" to a small au
dience, composed, as usual, partly
of tunny people with erratic no
tions, but mainly of men who
went to scof}. They laughed aul
applauded lustily when she rela
ted her experience with Henry
Ward Beecher. "I had a full dis
cussion with him," she said, "of
this whole subject of stirpiculture.
'Mrs. Woodhull,' he said, 'you
are perfectly right in what you
say on this topip, but X naveipt
the moral courage to acknowledge
it publicly.'
*Henry,' said I, 'you should
come out boldly. You should
preach my views in Plymouth
Church.'
|Ob* no, I could not do it/ he
said. 'I would preach to empty
benches.'
'iThat was bis mistake. He was
a moral coward. He fully under
stood this subject (langhter), but
he feared the consequences of
openly advooating his real views.
He should have come out sqnarely
and told tho truth, and he would
have had no need of fearing the
result. I am well acquainted wjth
his ideas on this subject. As you
know, I spent qaite a time in jail
in consequence,"

''The work of running the Cous
titutiou on tho dock took place
this morning iu the presence of a
large number of spectators, who
good naturedly withstood the
chilliness of the weather for the
sake of glancing at this noble reb
ic of the last century. The process
ot hauling her on the dock was
the same as used when she was
brought here tor repairs, and
which worked so successfully. At
11:30. after elaborate preparation,
the vessel made a slide, causing
a shout ot 'there she goes !' to go
up from those assembled. After
moving along smoothly about
half her length, she stock, caus-r

War.
Preparations for war between
the United States and Spaiu are
openly going on.
A telegram from Washington,
semi-official in its toue, .and un
doubtedly official in its .origin,
states that "the concentration of
naval vessels at Port Royal,South
Carolina, is iu pursuance of a gen
eral plan of the Secretary of the
Navy to make that place the head
quarters *4 the North Atlantic
Station, as it presents many ad
vantages over any other port on
the Atlantic coast." The great,
essential advantage which it pos
sesses is then stated in the follow
ing terms:
'•The geographical posi tion of port Roy
al makes it the central point ot the North
Atlantic station, and the vessels rendez
voused there can reach Cuban waters,
and the Gulf, where our interests most
used to be looked after,wiihin forty-eight
hours. It is the policy of the Secretary of
the Navy to have our home squadron
larger than any of those abroad, because
he believes in being prepared for any
emergency out of the present difficulties
on the island of Cuba. While there is no
official announcement in regard to the
condition of affairs between this country
and Spain, jt is believed, in well informed
circles, that the uncertain tenure which
Spain has upon thut island may cause
the Government to become involved in a
difficulty with tbe United States when it
sees it .can no longer hold the island, and
thus part with it as a jpatter of necessi
ty."
So muck for what is being open
ly done by our Government. Ac
cording to this despatch, trans*
parently emanating from the Na
vy Department, we are conceittra
ting our available uaval force,
within forty-eight hours of Cuba,
in anticipation of a war with
Spaiu. Tbe fact and tbe motive
are publicly avowed.
Now for the other side. What
is Spain doing ? Is she making
any preparations f She has ap
pointed Gen. Jovellar, just now
perhaps the foremost man of all
Spain, Captain-Geueral of Cuba.
Then we have a very important
announcement in the following
despatch by cable to the Herald :
''Madrid, Jan. 8,— The Spanish Gov
ernment has ordered from Herr Krupp's
tbundrv. at Jissein, six 11-inch breech
loading steel canuon. with 600 rounds of
ammunition, for delivery in Cnba at- tho
earliest moment. The contract has been
made at-the special request of General
Jovellar. Each gun will cost $120,000-''
What does this mean ? Of what
use will these rilled cannon be iu
figbtiug the insurgents — why
pursue a system of warfare which
renders such guns practically ot
little avail f Tnoy will be of ser
vice, however, iu opposiug any
interference on the part of the
United States; and we apprehend
jt is to that end they have been
ordered and are to be sent to
Cuba. And it is mainly with aview
to resist the United States that
Spain sends to Cuba a General
and a statesman wbera she now
so sorely neads at borne.
When, a few days ago, onr
scholarly contemporary,the World
insisted that we most wait to see
what Jovellar would do, somehow
that sounded to us more like the
voice of Spaiu than of the United
States. If we wait, we shall see.
In fact, we begin to see alreadv.—

On a small island opposite the
town of Wadso, in the extreme
north of Norway, is the only es
tablishment in the world for
slaughtering whales wholesale.
The proprietor sends oat some
small screw steamers, armed with
a cannon on the forecastle to
shoot whales. Asa rale the steam
er returns with a piize about
twelve hoars after starting. The
canuon has a chamber four feet
long i tbe projectile is a long iron
bolt, having at its end fotft har
poons, bound round with a line
so as to be flat, and close to the
harpoons is a six-pounder shell. If
properly aimed, the bolt pene
trates deeply into the animal's
flesh and blubber. When he rush
es oft the bolt slips back, spread
ing the harpoons and exploding
the shell. If not killed thereby,
the whale often drags tbe steam
er along for a considerable dis
tance, till exhausted,
A Detroiter got home at mid-*
nigut tbe other night with a black
eye and » boozy step, and as bis
wife met him at the stairs she ex
claimed,
"Why, you've been fighting."
"Yes'm," he meekly replied, as
he leaned on the rail.
"And some one has blacked
one ot yonr eyes," she continued,
as the tears came.
"Don't cry, zharling," he said,
in a coaxing voioe, m h« put bis

The experience of the Findlay
Courier mau is sad and mournful
He has^ lost faith in the profes
sions of his fellow men. Hear how
be talks;
Last week a man stepped up to
us and said he would pay us
every cent he owed, if he lived
till Saturday night; we presume
that the man died. Another said
he would pay us iu a day or two
as sere as we were born ; query
—did the man lie, or we were
born ? Another said be would
settle his bill as sure as shooting;
we are led to the conclusion that
shooting is decidedly uncertain.
Quite a number said they would
see us to morrow ; those men
have been blind ever since, or
else to-morrow has not come. One
man told us, six months ago,
that he would pay us as soou as
he got some money ; that would
not lie, and ot course has not bad
a cent since.
But the experience <of editors
is about the same all over, says
the Fremont Journal. Last year
we stopped one man's paper who
owed six dollais. ne was serving
the public, and we met him
while in the discharge of duties.
He averred that as soou as he
got through und received his pay,
be would make it all right, be
would indeed. He told us the
same story this Spring, and wn
presume he is still assessing. An
other came all the way, five miles,
to town to assure ns that, he was
all right, aud that we need not
be afraid. He would have some
money soon, and wonld pay—ye^
he woald. Some time later we
"saw" his money at a distance.
He was putting it in a bank. It
was tbe last and only glimpse we
had of it. He never bad a hatchet
and ran aronnd hacking cherry
trees, or they would have dp*!
without anybody knowing who
killed them. Another would pay
us after sheep-shearing. His sheep
are long wools, and it takes a
long while for the wool to mature,
Another would pay after wheat
harvest but bis wheat, like tbe
century plant, is of slow growth
and dou't ripen often. Another
had poor health, but was improy
ing. He wonld get around soon,
aud raise some money and p y
ns. He has had a relapse, fot
though he eats hearty and works
bard, he don't get "round" worth
a ceut. We would have some
hopes ot getting even with such
folks some day, when an admin*
istrator is appointed, if thay bad
any to administrator on.
A Romance of tho Miinw
There is such a thing as toe
much as well as too little caution
and the chances for losing a for
