THIS WEEKLY SU,I.
1876
NEW YORK.
1876
Eighteen hundred and seventy-six is the
Centennial year. It is also the year in which
an Opposition House of Representatives,the
first since the war, will be in power at
Washington ; and the year of the twenty
third election of a President ot the United
States All of these events are sure to lie
great interest and importance, especially
the hitter; and all of them and everything
connected with them will he fully and" fresh
ly reported in The Sun.
The Opposition House of Rcpreseutatives,
taking up the liue of inquiry opened years
ago by The Hun. will sternly and diligently
investigate the corruptions and misdeeds of
Grant's administration ; and will, it is to l»e
hoped, lay the foundation for a now and
better period in our national history. Of all
this The Sun will contain complete and
accurate accounts, furnishing its readers
witli early and trustworthy information
upou these absorbing topics.
The twenty-third Presidential election,
with the preparations for it, will be memo
rable as dccidiug upon Giant's aspirations
for a third term of power and plunder, and
still more as deciding who shall he the
candidate of the party of Reform, aud as
electing that candidate. Concerning all these
subjects, those who read The Sun will have
the constant uieausot being thoroughly well
informed.
The Wekki.y Sun, which has attained
circulation of over eighty thousand copies,
already has its readers in every State and
Territory, aud we trust that the year 1876
will see their numbers doubled. It" will con
tinue to be a thorough newspafier. 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 mun
ner.
It is our aim to make the Weekly Sun
the best family newspaper in the world, aud
we shall continue to give in its columns
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. The agricultural department especially
is one ot its prominent features. The fashions
arc also regularly reported iD its columns
aud so are the markets of every kind.
The Weekly Sun, eight pages with fifty
six broad columns is only $ 1,20 a year,
postage prepaid. As this price barely repays
the cost of the paper, no discount can be
made from this rate to clubs, agents, Post
masters. or anyone.
The Daily .m.'n, a large four page newspa
per. of tweuty-eight columns, gives all the
news for two cents a eopy. .'ubseription,
postage prepaid, 53c, a month or 1050
a year Sunway edition extra. $1.10 per year.

How TO PREPARE MACARONI.
—When you once eat of luacaroul
as it is prepared in ltalj, Olive
Harper writes, you find it like
the Turkish coffee, something the
soul delights in. Why dou't we
have macaroni cooked in the same
way f We have au iuseusate way
of tumbling a handful into a bas
in of soup which come out pasty
stuff, good for nothing. I took the
pains to get an authentic recipe
for cooking macaroni, and for all
who wish a most delicious, easy
and cheap dish, I write it: Take
three pints ot beef soup, clear,
and put one pound of macaroni
in it aud boil fifteen minutes,
with a little salt; then take up]
the macaroni—which should have '
absorbed nearly all the liquid— !
and put it ou a fiat plate and
sprinkle grated cheese over it |
thickly, and pour over all plenti- j
fully a sauce made of tomatoes, j
well boiled, stiained, and season- j
ed with salt and pepper. Some j
people prefer only to put the J
cheese on it, but I prefer it with
the tomato as well. If anybody j
don't like that when it is done, it!
is because he don't know what is
good.
Yesterday, as we were passing
a street beyoud the Atlautic Me
dical College, and 011 which a
number of negroes reside, we
heard an old negro calling ont to
his wife :
"Manda, is you got dem chick
ens corralled in the smoke-house
like 1 told yer V
"No ; an' I like to know wharfs
de matter with you dat/s you's
so 'tickler about dem chickens all
at once/' she replied.
"Nebber you miud ! I kuows
whar's de matter, and dat's nuff
till dem chickens is housed. When
1 hears dat dem niggers ober dar
iu de next yard is gwine to bab
a party to-morrow night, I wants
to be shore dat my chickens
doesu't ; teud it—you hear me V
The chickens were at once
locked up .—Atlanta ( Qa .) Coniti

HOW NICE TO BE PRESIDENT.
—A salary of 50,000, a mansion
sustained iu a style of luxury that
few persous dreamed of,furnished 4
repaired, and heated at an annual
expeuse of $25,000, with the very
air breathed there perfumed by
rare exotics, propagated in a $55,
000 garden house, maintained at
an annual expense of $5,000 ; a
private secretary at $3,000 a year
to do the President's writing;
two assistant secretaries, at $2,
500 a year to do the work of the
private secretary'; two clerks at
$2,250 to do the work of the as
sistant secretaries (laughter) ; a
steward at $2,000 a year to sup
ply the President's table with
the choicest wines and richest
viands that could tempt or |
satiate his appetite ; with $6,000!
a year for books periodicals, sta- j
tioner.v, telegrams, and (a com-!
mercial pause) other coutiugen-1
cies, What that meant he did not 1
know, but he thanked God for j
the "contingencies." (Laughter.) j
If the children of Israel sighed 1
for the flesh pots of Egypt, what!
must be the anguish ot a sensi- :
t;ve soul when taking a last long j
farewell of such salary and loxu- j
ries .—Prom Procter Knott's Speech

A correspondent of Our Home
Journal, gives the following me
thod of proceeding during the
earjy stages ot cane cultivation,
which we commend to the atteu
tion of the mauy young ineu who
have undertaken to work small
sugar crops iu the last few years.
As soon as the season permits,
and I can with safety, off-bar
and dig my stubble, I avail my
self of every opportunity so to
do, as I stated iu a previous is
sue, and the land must be extra
ordinarily light and mellow not
to require the off barring to be
done with fonr-mnle-plows. 1 then
make it a point to follow up with
my two mule plows, and again off
bar aud throw back afunowto
all the stubble which has been
out. My opinion may not have
weight with those planters and
overseers who advocate the course
of letting the stubble remain for
a more lengthened period with
out the furrow beiug thrown
back—or only ofi-bar, with the.
expectation and hope of getting
a thicker stand of suckers. This
is in many eases, a very preca
rious experiment, and great loss
has accrued to the planter to my
knowledge in sundry instances,
by such a procedure. As I before
stated in digging the dirt trom
the stubble, and particularly
when the shaver is not used, all
the top eyes are intact and sprout
ed. With a mild winter, as the
present has proved thus tar, the
sprouts are much advanced, and
as the spring opens, with dry
weather and a genial sunshine,
these sprouts will surely suffer,
unless the said furrow is return
ed, and sufficient protection given
to the plaut.
It I can possibly spare the hoe
gang and my planting is accom
plished, their services will be also
invaluable at that time, following
after the plows, chopping and
filling up the iusterstices, where
the dirt has not been properly re
trrued to the oft-baniug furrow.
The quarter drums are at the
same time well-cared for by both
plow and hoe aud to facilitate the
work of the hoe-gang, I invaria
bly run a small oue-mule fluke in
the quarter drains, after the work
performed by plows.

During the war there lived in
the viciuity of this city a solitary
maiden of sixty summers, who
had 110 one to protect her against
the rude buffets of the world. If
any flower of affectiou for the
other sex had ever warmed and
beautified her maideu heart, it
bloomed in secret aud "wasted its
sweetness on the desert air." At
that time which "tried men's
souls" she coutiuued to live alone
unterrified by the evils of civil
war. One day while this city was
occupied by f ederal troops, a sol
dier weut into her potato patch
aud commenced helping himself
to the potatoes.
She soon'discovered his pres

Office ot the
Hotel & Boardg-House Ast'n
No. 721 Arch Street.
Philadelphia.
Among the numerous plans for
making the hotel and boarding
house accommodations of Phila
delphia available to visitors du
ring the Centennial year, is that
of the Hotel and Boarding House
Association.
On the first of May next, ac
cording to late estimates the ho
lels will have a capacity ot 25,000
guests, aud the boardiug tiouses
approximating 2.500 iu number,
a capacity of 30,000.
To which may be added a
large number of private dwellings
additional, which will be opened
to visitors if necessary.
The hotels, of course, will be
always accessible, but with the
boarding-houses it is different,
they being widely distributed
and unregistered, and to render
this class of accomodations avail
able to visitors is the object of
the Association.
To this end there is being kept
at the central office a register of
all reputable boarding-houses iu
the city, which will show at any
time the vacancies and schedule
of rates of each, and offices will
be opened at every Hotel co-oper
atiug with the association or iu
the immediate vicinity where
visitors who fail to secure lodging
at the hotels will be afforded a
choice of rooms aud board at any
of the houses where vacancies oc
cur, together with a guarantee of
the quality aud costs of the lodg
iugs offered.
In connection, and in telegraph
ic communication with the central
office, the association has located
twenty-nine branch agencies in
different parts of the city, where
vacancies as they occur, will be
registered and reported to the
main office, enabling agents at
the hotels or other places, to trails
fer visitors from hotels that are
full,to hotels and boaiding-houses,
where there are vacancies.
It has already registered and is
in cooperation with forty-three
Hotels and more than one thou
sand five huudred Boardiug
Houses, having a capacity of for
ty-five thousand guests, the num
ber daily increasing.
It has also at command,through
the American District Telegraph
Company, two huudred aud fifty
Messengers to show strangers to
their lodging and for other purpo

Thus at a trifling cost and
avoiding all annoyance and disap
pointineut, strangers can secure
such accommod itious as they de
sire by applying at the hotels, or
at the office of the Association,
721 Arch street, Philadelphia, if
desirous of securing rooms in ad
vance, by letter or telegraph.
The above plans were adopted
after haviug been submitted to
the Proprietors of the Hotels,
who are the best judges of the
wautsof visitors, and to a large
number of business firms, aud uni
versally approved.
Haviug the Co-operation of
the hotels and Boarding-houses
of the city, gives the Association
facilities that no other association
or agency can have, and euables
them to furnish such accomiuoda
tion to visitors as they may re
quire.

an office on Griswold street yes

about a person aatued Johnson.
He left the door wide open as he
entered, and was walking across
the room when the shivering oc

"Shot that door."
"Did you speak to me t" inquir

"Yes, #ar ; I spoke to you."
"What did yoa say V
"I said shut that door."
"Which door t"
"The one behind yoa, sir. This
is not a saw-mill, sir.
"Did I say this was a saw-mill !
inquired the old man. "Don't you
suppose I know aa office from a

"Why don't you shut that

the desk.
"Do you want the door shat t"
"Yes."
"Then I will shat it. There, the

How to Extricate a Mired
AnimaL
I
!
An animal uu'ed in a swamp
gets into a worse predicament the
longer it struggles. The effort to
extricate it should be made in an
effective manner, so that the ani
mal may not be encouraged to
exhaust itself iu repeated exer
tions, which are useless and only
sink it deeper iu the mire. The
usual method is to fasteu a rope
around the «i a imat's horns or neck,
aud while this is pulled by some
of the assistants, others place
rails beueath the body ot the ani
mal for the purpose of lifting it
out of the hole. The plau is some
times effective, but it often is uot,
and at best itisaslow, clumsy,
and laborious method. The mate
rials needed for the method here
referred to are all that are requir
ed tor a much better one. This is
very simple, and two meu oan
operate it, and at a pinch even
oue man aloue may succeed with
it. A strong stake or an iron bar
is driven into the solid ground at
a distance of twenty-five feet or
more from the mired animal.
Two short rails, about nine feet
long, are tied together near the
ends, so that they can he spread
apart iu the form of a pair of
shears, for hoisting. A long rope
is fastened around the horns or
neck of the animal, with sueh a
knot that the loop cannot be
drawn tight enough to do any
injury. Too rope is cast over the
ends of the rails as they are
set up upon the edge of the
solid grouud, and carried to the
stake or crow bar beyond. The
end ot the rope is fastened to a
stout hand spike, leaving about
a foot of the end of it free. This
end is laid agaiust the bar or
stake, and the other is moved
around it so that the rope is
wound upon it, drawing it up
and with it drawing the animals
out of the mire, The rope being
held up by the tied rails, tends
to lift the animal and make its
extrication very easy.—Ex.

Burlington Haickeye, came in to

her darling tell bis sister that
