Commodore VanderbUt's Appearance. k; The late Commodoro Vauderbilt, up to tile last days of his life, retained that erect carriage which gave him so com manding a personal appearance. His frugal habits and regular way of life helped to maintain the spareness of his proportions and to keep him in equable and perfoct health. The luxuries which hia wealth gave him meaus of procuring never beguiled him from tlio simple habits in which ho had been reared. Commodoro Vauderbilt belonged to that itoical class of millionaires who are not Enervated by wealth. He always ad hered to that industrious discipline, that toutlno of herculean labor which eon iributed to his first successes. His tusiness was his amusement, and his knusements were part of his business. ftx his railroad and steamboat journey^ lo lees than in his park drives, he showed ftat wonderful bodily vigor and elasti tity which wore atnong his most singular waits. His healthy looking face, with la white side whiskers, his chin support ed o*er an old fashioned white stock,with ? jiiAre llefVl ?V>*erod with snowy hair, ?ill long remain a VOilOrftble picture in lie memories of all who saw him.

Tb* object of tbo AMERICAN SENVSPAPEH DIRECTORY b not ycTt dilTwmt from that of tbe well-known mercantile kftnuehm which exist in *11 leading cities.

The DIRECTOBY oouveys tho best obtained information concerning tho character and value of newspapers. Its patrons are tho men wlio expend money in advertising (a large and im portant clans), and it is from them that the pul> liahers of the DIRECTORY, in their capacitv >:-J ? ? ?? ? m>ciiuui? agents, aenvo Uielr profit and ?ui> 1X5rt. It ia to them and not to newspaper pub lishers that they owe the duty of faithful service. The theory that advertising agencies aro tho servants of newspaper*, and should advan<*o their interests first, la annihilated hv the aystem loug adopted by publishers, alinoat without ex | ception, of ignoring any idea of protecting tho ' so-called agency and maintaining the right to appoint competitors in the same field without the oonsent of those already occupying it i A3 THK MOST IMPORTANT PORTION OF THE in formation aurruKD *t a mercantile aoknct consist* or 4 rkport or the financial strknoth or tiib pkiwon about whom inform a tion IS Afliri), BO IB thk circulation ok a skwv PAPKB OENKMA1.lt OONSIDKRKP THK POINT UPON WHICH INFORMATION WILL HE or MOST TALUK TO TOR ADVERTISER. 1 Thor? are among merchants some who deny I the right of a mercantile agency to inquire into I their private affairs, and who decline giving any information upon which a report maybe based"; ' but tho mercantile agency does not, on that ac count, neglwet to make a report. It gets from other sources the best obtainable information, and upon this its estimate is bawd, although it cannot be denied that the reticence of the |>vty in <]ue><tion is almost alwavs attributed to a knowledge upon his part that a true report i would be prejudicial to his credit, Tlie report | made in, therefbre, likely to be less favorable than it might have Iwii had the information asked for been cheerfully and frankly furnished. Ho aluo there arc among newspa]?er publish* rs | some who deny tile riuht of any one to inquire | into their affairs. It nan be*u the policy of the publishers of the PIHKOTORY to omit all in formation about circulation whenever plainly and unequivocally commanded to do to. In such cane-i the matter is disposed of by annex ing to tho report the words " objects to tinting circulation." In every ca?e where the above command is not i>l*inly and unequivocally con voyed to tho publishers of the lilHECl'Ol'.Y, they make up their rejKirt in the same manner pursued by tne mercantile agencies in estimat ing the financial strength of a merchant, an I, like the institutions referred to, theyvdeclinf to reveal the source* from which they have olv tained their information. It is undoubtedly true that no publication of this character is privileged, and that in an instance where a merchant or a newspaper is seriously injured by an unjust or matcrally in correct re;>ort the courts furnish a remedy, and both mercantile agency or Dircetorv publisher wiui>? held responsible for actual damage shown to accrue to an injured party from a re- ? port proved upon trial to have been erroneous. This in a liability which the publishers of the DIUECTOItY cannot e?ca|>e ; it in therefore one which they hold themselves at all times ready to moot. Tho greatest possible care is taken to make the I)IliEOTOJt\ roports correct. Kvery pulv lisher iit applied to very systematically. All in formation is taken in a form which excludes any but definite statements which cnunot l>e nusun- i derstood, while every effort is made to protect honest publishers against surh as would resort to lying or perjured reports to pain an unfrir advantage.

For all such ; cases the editor of the Directory has initmo- I tionM to estimate the circulation from the best 1 Information ot>en to him. The Dirwtorv estimate* the cirmlation of no i newspaj>er until aftrr an application has be-n mnde to it? publisher for the actual figures, and sufficient time allowed to elajme for the stato- j merit to eomo to hand had ?nv such been for warded. It I* believed that no publisher of a newa paper expresse* dissatisfaction with the circula tion accorded hi^ )onrnal in the AMKHIOAN NF.WHPA PER DIRF/TORY who doe* not de sire to impress the public that hi* edition U greater than it is in reality. The reason given l>v several publishers for not furnishing an nuthoritntivo statement of th<'ir circulation for'publication in the AMERI CAN NF.WRPAl'ER DIRECTORY is that many advertisers believe the circulation to he prcater than it reallv is, and that this is an adviuitaRe to the publisher which would be lost if actual 1 facts should lx? made known. An unusual number of publishers of the lead ing dailv papers are this vear furnishing the i AMFRIf AN NFWHPAPER DIRECTORY with the actual figure* of their circulation.
