Eighteen hundred and seventy-six is the Centennial year. It is also tlie year in which an Opposition House of Representatives,the liist since the war, will lie 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 be of great interest and importance, especially the latter; and till of them and everything connected with them will be fully and fresh ly reported in Tub Sun." The Opposition House of Representatives,

taking up the line of inquiry opened years ago by Tiik S u n , will sternly and diligently investigate the corruptions and misdeeds of Grant's administration ; and will, it is to be hoped, lay the foundation for a new and iietter period in our national history. Of all this Tiik S un will contain complete, and accurate accounts, furnishing its readers with early and trustworthy iuloruiatiou upon these absorbing topics.

Tlie twenty-third Presidential election, with tlie preparations for it, will lie memo­rable as deciding upon Grant's aspirations for a third term of power and plunder, and still more as deciding who shall be the candidate of the party of Reform, anil as electing that candidate. Concerning all these subjects, those who read Tile. S un will have the constant means ot being thoroughly well informed.

The W keklt Si n, which has attained a circulation of over eighty thousand copies, already has ils readers in every State and Territory, and we trust tluit the year 1X7ti will see their numbers doubled. It will con­tinue to he 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 man­ner.

It is our aim to make the W kkki.y Sun the best family newspaper in the world, and we shall continue to give in its column* a large amount of miscellaneous reading, such as stories, talcs,poems, scientific intelligence and agricultural information, for which wc

j are. not able to make room in our daily odi j rion. The agricultural department especially

is one of it* prominent features. The fashions are also regularly reported in its columns ; and so are the markets of every kind.

T h e W e ek l y S u n . eight pages with fifty- six broad columns is only a year,postage prepaid. As this price barely repays tbe cost of the paper, no discount call In made from this rate to clulis, agents, Post­masters, or anyone.

A rainy day, a spare hour, a chance to take it to town to be repaired, without going oh purpose; these present themselves to the intelh- eiit farmer, and when the har­

vest is ripe, or the corn ready for the cultivator, there will he no tie lay in the mending of damaged machinery. There is no such weak laziness or wicked waste of time ami opportunity, as the man prac tices who never has time to do anything properly. IJe goes to town with three errands, and comes lim e with only one finish­ed ; he has no time for the others, lie plows for fifty acres of corn, bat lias no time to get in but for­ty. He plows with a dull plow, and chops with a duller axe for tlie lack of time to sharpen them. All these are the lack of fore­thought and system—a neglect to use the brain that God has given him to share and direct his work and save the muscle. An ox will do the work but he cannot plan it.

In about three-quarters of an hour the yells ceased entirely, tlie window was opened and a show­er of tacks fell over the. assembled and wondering multitude, while a saucer skimmed across the street and smashed against the side of a house opposite.

The Southwestern Granger, of New Orleans, contains the follow ing little, nutshell of sound ad­vice, which we commend to the careful leading ot our agricultural inclined readers. Wekuow, from observation and experience, that many vegetables that are rarely seen on the dining table during the winter season, cau be cultiva­ted and raised in aboumlance in this section ; and we remember that last year, about this time, the vacant lot at tlie corner of Itose- lius and Hahn streets, in this vil- lnge,under judicious management brought forth a cansiderable qnan tity of delicious vegetables, espe­cially cauliflowers, cabbages, cel­ery and kindred productions, prac tically illustrating that gardening is equally profitable during the cold and frosty season of the year as during the mild and genial periods :

Have they ever dreamed of it T .Do they know how many com­

forts, blessings and how muen sat istaction spring from a umall plat of ground properly cultivated to the fireside circle ? We opine not. There is too little attention given to this subject. In the summer time a small ureaof smface, prop erly cultivated will furnish tbe family table with every species of vegetables, giving a healthy diet for the hot summer months, am! greatly reducing the probable ex­penditures tor physician's visits, drugs mid medicines. There is ikf more healthy diet ill this tropical clime than a vegetable one, hence (lie necessity fin every family to have a well Bill, .ntcil and well attended vegetable garden. It is a season of the year when the lilt limn system needs little heating food, and rattier such diet as will thin tlie blood and adapt the cor* pineal anatomy to healthfully re­sist, tlie encroachments ot disease, and Hiistuin the enervating Influ­ences ot a tropical cliuio.

As winter approaches, then is. there more need ol stimulating food. This is tarnished not only iu pork, fat beef, wild game and kinr died meats, but is made all the more palatable by the addition of cabbage, turnips, salads and seas oiling. Yet go the length and breadth of the parish, and a win ter garden is the exception, not the general rule.

What can be furnished in the winter time as vegetable food I Turnips, cabbage., mustard, cele­ry, roquet, parsley, onions, garlic aud kindred vegetables. Yet liow liitle attention is paid to this; most important of all health con, dneing subjects. People of this. clime, especially heads ot fami­lies should see to it, that more care is bestowed on this question, of gardening, thereby preventing disease and saving doctor’s fees.. —St. Charles Herald.

A New Medal.—Lucy Hooper writes to the Philadelphia Tele­graph from Paris : The Maritime and Fluvial Exhibition, at tbe Palais d’Industrie. is to close in a. few days, and the prizes to be- awarded are already under con­sideration. The exhibition has as­sumed a peculiarly interesting form to an American, from tho fact that many of the principal article articles therein are destin­ed,for our Centennial Exuibition. Among tlie new discoveries which owe their first publicity to this eminently successful enterprise, that of a new medal, which ap­pears to figure largely iu com­merce, may l>e cited. This brilliant stranger, which has received tho name of Argyrine is white and lustrous like silver, it is mallea­ble, ductile, and inoxydable, and. can replace silver advantageous­ly in many of the important uses to which that metal is put, as it possesses the advantage ot cos­ting just bne-twoltth of the price of silver. A very beautiful clock and camlclcbra in tlie Henri Deux style m Argyrine have been exhibited and were miiel. admir. ed. A casting, rough fnaa tlie mould, was shown to demonstrate how easily the Argyrine could be melted and how thoroughly it fil­led up the interstices of the mold, Some statuettes, seals and other toys tor the etagere or the centre table were exhibited, displaying tlie fine color of the metal and the contrast between the chased and polished surfaces, the eftect of which was quite equal, if qot superior, to that of the same workmanship in silver. It je thought that it will soon be very generally used for cairiages, bar* ne3s, etc., its non corrosive quail-, tics rendering it especially valua­ble for such uses.
