M. 1" MERCANTILE AGENCIES. Their Origin and Pta? of Operations How Information is Obtained-Thc Branch Agencies-General Statistics. It is now more than a quarter of a century since thc first commercial and mercantile agc.'.cy was established in New York city. This branch of business had boen knowu in Europe for some years before thc system was introduced into li. . United States. Benjamin Douglass, an old and respected merchant, who became unfortunate in business and fail? ed, was the founder of thc first agency in New York, and lils experience and sound judgment ensured the success of thc system. From the first establishment, presided over by Douglass, several other agencies have sprung up, creat? ing an immense business, and extending their branches into every State and Territory in thc Union. Thc New York Post says: The object of mercantile agencies is to assist the merchant to inquire into the character and standing of his customers; lo ascertain their antecedents and their character as business men. By means of thc full and frequent re? ports, the merchant is enabled to ascertain thc exact standing of his customers, and many firms have been saved from ruin by a few timely reports. HOW INFORMATION' IS OBTAINED. Thc main office ot thegreat chain of agen? cies in the United States is in tills city, and it has established branches In nearly every large city in thc Union. The main agency depends upon the smaller branches foi- its general in? formation. The sub-offices are also districted, and appoint their own agents, principally law? yers and bankers, or sometimes influential merchants, to obtain reports of the standing of business men in their section of the country. Each agent is provided with blanks on which are printed the name, residence and occupa? tion, wealth and business character of the per " son inquired for. Thc agent fills np these blanks when required, and adds such informa? tion as may be needed to strengthen or weak? en thc report, as tho case may be, so that a fair estimate can be formed. After filling out the blanks he sends them to the district agency, where copies are immediately made, one of which is for the merchant who makes tho inquiry, and the other for thc usc cf the New York office, lt is also registered -in a volume of reports of the town and State to which it belongs, and thus the report is fully registered. Information is usually sent in an abbrevi? ated form, and letters and figures are often used. To illustrate: Suppose .Messrs. Brown, Smith A Co., wholesale grocers, of New York, have sold to John Silverthom, of Calena, Illi? nois, a bill of groceries; and although Silver thorn may have good verbal recommenda? tions, they wish to know further concerning him. The customer ls in the store, and Mr. Brown sends a boy to thc mercantile agency while talking with his customer. The boy soon returns and bunds Mr. Smith a bit ol' imper, which perhaps reads thus: JOWN SiLVEXTHORN. Crocerles and dry goods. Galena, Illinois. December 1, 1S69. ? Age 35. Married; family. Was for six y cara clerk with Julius A- Rich. Owns real estate wortli $0000; encumbered $2000. stock worth $;ooo; paid for. Estimated worth ?S0OO to $10,000. ls making money. Bconomleal, prudent, honest aud con? sidered good for his wants in busluess. The report s written out in full. A condense! re.?ort of a different character is sometimes nu de out in this manner: RICHARD ROE. Groceries and liquors. Harris? burg, Pa. November 30, 1S69. Age 30. Unmar? ried. Means limited;estimated worth $800aJiooo. Owns no real estate. Been two years in business. 3. 9. 24. 68. 72. 90.* All these reports, before they arc sent out, are stamped across the face in red ink with the word "Confidential." Sometimes special inquiries are made by persons who have learned outside the office that somethi :g is wrong with their customers, but who wish to learn particulars. When answers are returned to these special inquiries, a note is sent to thc person inquiring as fol? lows : Mr. John Smith: We have received special In? formation concerning Richard Roe, for which please call at our otHce. Respectfully. CASH A Co., Mercantile Agency. This special information generally refers to former antecedents ol' persons inquired for, or to failures, swindling transactions, or fraudu? lent conveyance of property. Such informa? tion ls never sent to subscribers of thc agen? cies in writing. Besides the employment ol' agents in the towns and villages of the different States, each district sends out every few months several agents whose duty it i's to go over thu entire district and revise each report. This is neces? sary from the fact that each ol' thc commercial agencies issues volumes of printed reports in a condensed shape a* books of reference .for its subscribers; and as there are several editions of these volumes in the course of Ihe year, r?? visions are essential; fer i man may change his standing and character in three months, new firms may start up, or old firms fail or go out of business. Besides three or four annual editions, printed weekly sheets of corrections are issued every Saturday from the New York office, and mai'rd to all t he customers of eacn agency In Hie United flutes. These weekly sheets contain a record of failures, business changes of all kinds, records ot fires and insu? rance, deaths, and all other Information neces? sary to thc business comiuunitv. These also are slumped "Confidential.'' THE BRANCH AGENCIES. The branch agencies, regularly districted from the home office, are situated in the jirin clpal cities of the United States, in every State and territory, aud even in thc British colonies, the West Indies and Australia. Each branch agency Is presided over by a manager or su? perintendent, who reports daily to the princi pal office iu New York. Each agency has its regular number of copyists and reporters be? sides its agents. Reports of business men, as fast as received at these branch offices, are co? pied and ?-nt to all other branch offices, nnd to the main office, wherever any information thus sent may bc of a local value. AGENTS AND THEIR COMPENSATION. The persons employed by a mercantile agen cy and its branches consist of superintendents, bookkeepers, cashiers, city reporters, agents, copyists aud office boys. The superintendents, who are selected on account or their general good business capacity, integrity, shrewdness and good judgment, receive from $1500 to $'.?500 per annum; bookkeepers and cashiers from $1000 to $1500; agents, some $500 per annum, and others copies of all reports, and a free use of the office for what Information they need. If they are lawyers, a large collection business is thrown Into their hands. Agenta in small towns receive annual subscriptions to some of the popular magczines of the day, or a county newspaper. Copyists, who are required to bc very correct and careful, receive $5 per week for ten hours'daily work, and twenty-five cents an hour for all extra work. Office boys and messengers receive from $25 to $30 per month as their com pon sal ion. GENERAT. STATISTICS. The number of mercantile or commercial agencies doing business in New York is live, and these have established numerous branch agencies in nearly every town and city of the Union. To give some idea of thc extent of the business doue, and the cost of maintaining lt, the following statistics obtained from one of thc New York agencies, huve been collected with great care from the books and papers ol' its office : ?umber of Superintendents. 43 " " Bookkeepers. 37 " " Cashiers.-.. ?7 *' " City Reporters.

When business is dull with the mercantile community it is brisk with them; but the an? nual avor?ge of their receipts does not amount to over $50,000 or So'O.OOO. Last year was an unusually brisk season; but in 1867, one lead? ing agency made less than $10,000 profits. Mercantile agencies have become a neces? sity, an'' are growing more popular each year, and wh. ? they mny occasionally bc produc? tive of mischief, their valuable information, in the main, is an aid to the business com? munity. ?Some agencies usc letters Instead of figures to designate the abbreviations, in these figures given above the interpretation is as follows: 3, inattentive to business; 0, not temperate; 24. slow pay; 68, not reliable; 72, dishonest; 80, sell only for cash; not a desirable customer.

Perhaps no one medi? cine la so universally re? quired by everybody as a cathartic, nor was ever any before so uni? versally adopted into use. in every country and among all classes, as this mild but efficient purgative PILL. The obvious reason 1B, that it is a more reliable and v far more effectual rem? edy than any other. Those who have tried lt, know that lt cured them: those who have not, know that it cures their neighbors and friends, and all know that what it does once it docs always-that lt never fails through any fault or neglect QT its composition. We have thousands upon thousands of the certifi? cates of their remarkable cures of the following complaints, but such cures are known In every neighborhood, and we need not publish them. Adapted to all ages and conditions In all climates; containing neither calomel or any deleterious drug, they may be taken with safety by anybody. Their 6ugar coating preserves them ever fresh and makes them pleasant to take, while being purely vegetable no harm can arise from then* use In any quantity. They operate by their powerful influence on the Internal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate it into healthy action-remove thc obstructions of the stomach, bowels, liver, and other organs of the body, restoring their Irregular action to health, and by correcting, wncrovcr thev exist, EUCQ derangements as are the first origin of disease. Minute directions arc given in the wrapper on the box. for the following complaints, which these PILLS rapidly cure: For bTsr-ErsiA or INDIGESTION, LISTLESSNESS LANGUOR and Loss of APPETITE, they shoulAbe tr ken moderately to stimulate the stomach aid restore its healthy tone and action. For LITER COMPLAINT and its varions symp? toms, BILIOUS HEADACHE, SICK HEADACHE, JAUN? DICE or CREEN SICKNESS, BILIOUS COLIC and BILIOUS FEVERS, they should be judiciously taken for each case, to correct the diseased action or remove the obstructions which cause lt. For DYSENTERY OT DlARRHOA, but One mild dose ls generally required. . For RHEUMATISM, GOUT, GRAVEL, PALPITATION or TUF HEART, PAIN IN THE SIDE, BACK and LUNGS, they should be continuously taken, as re? quired, to change the diseased action of the sys-' tem. With such chauge those complaints dis? appear. For DROPSY and DROPSICAL SWELLINGS tney should be taken in large and freoucnt doses to produce the effect of a drastic purge. For SUPPRESSION a large dose should be taken as lt produces thc desired effect by sympathy. As a DINNER PILL, take one or two PILLS to pro? mote digestion and relieve the stomach. An occasional dose stimulates the stomach ana bowels into healthy action, restores the appetite, and invigorates the system. Hence it is often ad? vantageous where no serious derangement exista. One whe feels tolerably well, often finds that a .dose of these PILLS makes him feel deoidedly bet? ter, from their cleansing and renovating effect on the digestive apparatus. DR. J. C.
