Seasonable Planting.?While it may seem strap/" to the Northern fanner, whose 5'-v.- are bound in ice or covered with xtfiow, to speak of planting, it will bj plain enough to his Southern coworker, who works, or may do so, in his fi dds the year round. Round potables planted in the Southern States, in January will makea first crop in time for a second to be planted in July. The second crop that may now be" in the ground, may be left for table use, or kept covered with litter or leaves, to keep out frost. The newly planted crop should be earthed up as they appear above ground, to protect the tops from frosts. Oats sown at the South will ripen almost as soon as fall sown oats, and will be more likely to escape rust and drought tiian if sown later. The oat crop may be made a very valuable one, and by good management will yield a large quantity of fodder. Compost Heaps.?Much may be done in making compost heaps. Jn the South there is a greater choice of materials than at the North, and anything that can be secured to add bulk to stable manure, whether it be cotton seed, bone dust, guano, night soil, or other readily fermentable matters, should be collected and saved. Where salt marsh mud or BTramn rnnnV nor? V?A nmcillWl tllCSP make a good basis for a compost lieap. Spreading Manure.?For some years we have spread manure during the wintor upon meadows, clover sod to be plowed for corn, and ground plowed for spring crops. The practice is economical of labor, and convenient, and we have no reason to believe that the manure loses any valuable constituent. The ammonia of fresh manure is in a nascent or inactive condition, and is not wasted during the cold weather. Those who may find it convenient to use manure in this manner, can do no harm by making the experiment. Dairy farmers can not do better than spread manure upon their meadows and pastures as fast aS it is made. Live Stock.?Regular attention to all live stock is very important. If an animal is only half fed, it is letter that it be half fed regularly, as it will suffer less injury than if attended to one day and neglected the next. But it is poor economy to stint food. "The liberal soul shall be made fat." To see one's stock contented, comfortable and happy, is not only a happiness to a good farmer, but money in his pocket. Regular hours of feeding, regular watering, regular rations, and regular rest, are conducive to comfort. With regularity there is no haste, no waste, notliing is forgotten, and nothing is done twice over. Auimals then digest what they eat, and thrive.? Agriculturi*t. The Housekeeper. Deposit in Tea Kettles.?The stony deposit at the bottom of kettles is generally carbonate of lime. It was originally held in solution by excess of carbonic acid, which the heat has driven off. Weak muriatic, nitric or acetic acid will immediately dissolve it with effervescence. _ Care, however, must be taken to remove the acid as soon as the deposit is dis HOITeil, CUT It ?UIUU an<K.n ui\> uuu. Should tlie deposit be sulphate of lime, it must be dissolved by repeated washings with the acid. Puff Paste with Beef Suet.?Where you cannot obtain good butter for making paste, the following is an excellent substitute: Skin and chop one pound of kidney beef suet very fine, put it into a mortar and pound. it well, moistening with a little oil, until becoming, as it were, one piece, and about the consistency of butter; proceed exactly as in puff paste, using it instead of butter. Parsnips.?Scrape and wash your parsnips, and put them 011 with just enough water to boil them, and no more ; when they are done they should be nearly dry. Then dish them and pour over melted'butter and a little salt, or some drawn butter. Or, boil them as directed above, and "when done cut them in half, grease the bars of your gridiron, put them on it over some lively coals and brown them. To Cook and Serve a Loin of Beef. ?Select a twelve pound loin of beef of good quality, bone, season the inside with salt and pepper, roll and tie it firmly with strong strings, cook the same way as beef a la mode, oniittiug the calf's feet; when done (it takes at least four hours) drain, pare, glaze and keep ^ it warm till wanted; free the gravy of its grease and reduce with a quart of Espagnole sauce ; dress the beef on a layer of brazed red cabbage, garnish around with alternate groups of glazed onions and boiled and glazed beet roots, nicely rounded; pour the same over the garnislung and serve. To Prepare Apples.-?Peel and take the cores out of eight or more large cooking apples, cook in a light syrup and drain them on a hair sieve; have as many round pieces of sponge cake as there are apples?cut the same size and an inch thick ; sprinkle fine sugar over and lay them in a moderately hot oven ; serve the apples on the cake, set a candied plum on the top of each, reduce the syrup with half a glass of red currant jelly ; pour over the apples and send to table; serve hot. l*cnn?yivania rounry. The chickens and capons from Bucks and the adjoining comities in Pennsylvania have the best reputation in the city markets. Capons are made to weigh twelve pounds, and sell at thirty-five to forty cents a pound. The poultry is mostly of the Dorking, Dominique and common breeds, but it is the management rather than the breed, that produces the high quality. The chickens are brought out early in the season, and are well fed from the first. The cocks are made into capons. About three weeks before marketing the birds are put up in coops and fed upon soft food, consisting of corn and oat meal, potatoes and some scraps of fat meat or chopped suet. This is given several times a day in small quantities. Many spring chickens are sent to market from these localities which bring the highest prices, generally at about fifty cents per pound. Another Rat Story.?The .Middletown (N. Y.) Press tells the following story: A family in this village laid away a bag of dried com for winter's consumption. The bag containing it was hung by a stout string from a nail driven in the beam of an outhouse, so as to be out ftf the reach of rats. The sly rodents, however, managed to secure it. The bag was drawn up by the string and laid snugly away on the beam, and the very last grain of corn abstracted through a - hole in the bottom of the bag. The Bennett-May Difficulty. There are all sorts of stories ami conjectures as to the immediate cause of the trouble between Bennett, of the New York JfcruUf, anil the Mays?the last straw that broke the engagement. One is that Mr. ll.nnetf, at a dinner party, saul all tiie .Mays wanteu mm ior was liis money. Another is that, when not himself, lie went to the Mays ami behaved in a manner that caused Miss May's father to write a letter of remonstrance, to which he paid no attention. Another is that there was a violent scene on New Year's night, in the course of which Mr. Bennett used unbecoming langnage to Dr. and Mrs. May ; and that it was at this?110 doubt unpremeditated and unconscious?rudeness to their mother that sent the sous out, armed with whips, in search of the o{Fender. A friend of all parties concerned furnishes the ?Stin the following version of the facts: It was during the summer of 1875 that Mr. Bennett began to pay marked attentions to Miss May. She had the seat of honor on the box of his coach. She was the honored guest on board his yacht. The ensuing winter they were seen much together?out driving, at the theater, at receptions, at dinner parties, at the opera ?and soon it was rumored they were engaged to be married. The match was regarded a brilliant one by the young lady's friends, especially as the young people seemed devoted to each other. The friends of Mr. Bennett and his illustrious father were equally pleased, though Borne who were aware that the young gentleman had an erratic, impulsive, unfortunate temperament, and had been several times engaged, had their fears. It was premised, however, that Mr. Bennett was really most devoted to Miss May, who is a very charming young lady, and they hoped for the best. Mr. Bennett is not a ladies' man. He rather avoids ladies' society, finding more pleasure in that of gentlemen inclined, like himself, to polo, yachting and athletic sports. His greatest fault, now so generally known that it is no longer a secret, was his liability at any moment to go on a spree. Liquor gives many men a dual nature ; it so affects Mr. Bennett, intensifying his impulsiveness, obstinacy, and Scotch suspicion, and deadening the many noble qualities of head and heait which characterize him when he is " himself. " But it ha l been some time since he had been 011 a spree ; he was so assiduous in his Attentions to his fiancee, ho was so much interested in his preparations for the introduction of polo at Jernr,,n lio tr no lnAL-indf flJlll PnilllllftiriO Viae 11^ nao iwauivs - ? c himself generally so mueli for the better, that all his friends began to hope, tin's I time, there would be a marriage. It was rumored that a date in May had been fixed 'for the nuptials. Suddenly, as these events always occur, and just a; he had so often done before, the prospective groom' went off on one of his unfortunate sprees. The preparations for the wedding were promptly suspended. The spree over, the unfortunate man once more in the full possession of his really splendid faculties, was the picture of remorse. His fiancee wrote, offering to release him. He wrote frankly, acknowledging that he did not think himself worthy of her, saying that, once married, her influence over him would be all powerful. Of course she relented, j After last summer's season of polo at Jerome park Mr. Bennett went to Newport, and started the game there. His betrothed, her brother and other members of the family were his honored guests throughout the season at Newport. With the return to town in the autumn came rumors of the arrival from Paris of the wedding trousseau, on which the cus torn officials were said to have demanded duty to the amount of 80,000. The nuptials were to be private. One day there gathered in the May mansion a small but select circle of relatives and friends, aud there was a fair young bride arrayed in her spotless white, and there was a clergyman to make the twain one; but there was no bridegroom. Another letter and another forgiveness. The indignant father would consent only on condition that the groom should wak^ a marriage settlement. The groom objected ; the laws of the State made sufficient provision. Parental consent was dually given to the selection of another date. A wedding tour on the continent was decided on. On the evening before the day the old, luihappy story was repeated, with aggravating circumstances. When Mr. Bennett left the house the ladies were in tears. One of the brothers came in, found them crying, and asked the cause. What followed is now history. There are scores of men in New York who are ready to go 011 Mr. isennc tee bond as a man of oven foolhardy courage. Recorder Hackett is one of them. Some years ago, he says, Bennett allowed him to shoot, at seven paces, a three cent piece, inserted in a eork, from the top of his head. On another occasion Bennett invited him to shoot, at the same distance, tho ashes from a cigar in Irs mouth. He stood both shots with perfect coolness. The Population of tlie World. The London 'Times published recently an extract of an account of the population of the world annually prepf.r h! by J Irs. Behm and Wagner, and published by Perthes, from which it appears that the population in 187b may be taken at 1,423,1)17,t>00, of whom nearly one-fifth, or 309,178,000, reside m Europe, and probably 4:00,000,000, or less than onethird, belong to the European civilization. Four-sevenths of the world's ]>eople, or 821,000,000, reside in Asia, aud half of these are Chinese. The population of America, natives included, iu both divisions of the continent, is only 85,000,000, of whom we imagine about half are of pure blooded European descent. The population of Africa, arrived at, of course, by more or less careful guessing, is set down at 199,900,000, of whom scarcely one per centum can be fairly set down as eivilixed men, aud little more than ten per centum as semi-civilized. The Turkish empire is estimated nt 16,000,000, including 20,000,000 in -tigypt and its dependencies, witn lums and Tripoli; but the' population in Europe is only 8,000,000, and in Asia 13,500,000. Half the European population of Turkey at least is Bulgarian, and if we add the Greeks and Slavs, we shall find that the dominant caste does not exceed one-fourth of the whole, to whom the other three-fourths are sacrificed. 9 Several instances have lately been noted of mistaken identifications of bodies, and the subsequent return of the supposed dead men. Martin Monolian's case is exceptionally odd. He disappeared from Louisville, and a few days itfterward flie remains of a murdered man were identified and buried as his. His love affairs ^vere overhauled by the police, and a theory as to why he had been killed was worked out. Recently he returned alive, and was so elated in finding that he had not been murdered, that lie went on a spree and nearly killed himself with whisky. T!;o Centennial Exposition. At a meeting of the Society of Arts in Lomlon, Prof* ssor Archer, the British executive commissioner to the Ph In- 1 delphia Exhibition, rend a paper on tlie ] subject, in which he said : < "As a general mile the American ex- j1 hibits were of such excellent quality and < so carefully displayed that the exliibi- ] tors were evidently alive to the vast im- i portance of the competition. No one ; who had only seen their weak efforts in the European exhibitions could have ex- ] peeted such superior manufactures in ' meted work, textiles, and especially in '1 ; chemicals, which were shown by them. ' As to the general success of the exliibi- ( tion there could be 110 doubt. The at- < tendance far surpassed that of any ] previous exhibition?the total admissions 1 being : Cash admissions, 8,004,274 ; free, I ; 1,906,692; total, 9,010,966; while the i visitors at the London exhibition of 1862 1 numbered 6,211,103, and of Paris (1867) 1 9,300,000. Those results proved that international exhibitions'were not played out, but had still a very important part 1 . to perform in advancing commercial ( prosperity and the general interest of civilization. After bearing testimony to , the unbounded hospitality of the Phila, uelphians and to the widespread kindli- 1 ness of feeling for England and Eng, lishmen, he remarked that he believed that the effect of the exhibition on America would be most beneficial. The great cities had received a wholesome and powerful stimulus to strive in the race for higher culture and more jesthetical feeling, and with the general public from all parts the effect would have been ; to dispel innumerable errors, prejudices and false estimates. Let them hope that their American brethren might realize * these and every other possible good from so well conceived and splendidly managed ( an undertaking as that which they had just so successfully completed." Coin plicated Electoral Machinery. Mr. Manley Hopkins writes to the London Time*: Li witnessing the strain , on the American Constitution produced very much by the guarded method of election, it is interesting to look back at the yet more jealous and complex system . under which the Venetians, in choosing a ; doge, endeavored to exclude a scintilla . of fraud or private influence. It need . not be said that, as love laughs at lock- _ . smiths, so the intricate maze which was . to hedge in purity of election, some. times failed in its object, dhd one who . could not thread its sinuosities might > leap oyer its quickset walls. From the grand council thirty electors were selecti ed bv ballot. These were then reduced to nine, also by ballot. The nine proceeded [ to elect forty, in whom their own powers merged ; but none could be nominated i unless he had a minimum of nine bnlls. . The forty were then diminished by the same method to twelve, and this dozen . voted for twenty-five, with a minimum of nine balls. The twenty-five were t then reduced by ballot to nine, and . these elected forty-five, each having a , minimum of seven votes. The forty-five were next brought down by ballot to eleven. The eleven chose forty-one, the minimum 6f balls being again nine ; and each of the elective forty-one required to ' ? be confirmed by a majority of the grand i council. This final chamber elected the ;. doge ; but his election required at least ' twenty-five balls. All this can be seen in Daru. We scarcely know which to 1 woniler at more in such a scheme?its 1 jealousy or its childishness. Yandeybilt's Domestic Life. To his family the late Commodore Yanderbilt was kind, without being demonstrative. He expected his children to do well in marriage and life, and had little patience with those who cou' tinned dependent, as several of them did. ; One of his relatives liad a passion for borrowing, and on one occasion obtained a large sum of money from the late Horace Greeley, which he was unable to pay, Mr. Greeley supposing his connection to : be security enough. But the commodore was not to l>e affected by the s<K*ial or political consequence of the lad's creditor; he refused to pay the borrowing and did not do it through years, thereby lead| ing to a coolness with the editor of the Tribune. At Greeley's death, however, when his family was temporarily embarrassed, Yanderbilt said: " Greeley's girls can have any money they want."' He is said to have made lbs word good. Yanderbilt once fitted this same boy out with a farm and the young man promised to make his own way in the world after that. The commodore ha 1 his misgivings, but hoped for the best. ' It was not long before the boy wrote that j ' the farm was gone and he had nothing with which to buy food. Inclosing a | ; stamp in a letter, the old man wrote: ' "Inclosed is fifty cents to buy your breakfast. Go to work and earn your ' dinner. Your affectionate father." 1 , u Ho Wanted It. An amusing story is told of the Baron X., a member of one of the oldest and proudest families in France, who had " arranged for him " a marriage with an English lady of immense wealth: A few weeks before the date appointed for the : wedding the lover found out that his betrothed, instead of being of a good [ family, as had been reported to him, was . the daughter of a quack doctor, her golden , guineas having been derived from the sale of patent pills. He broke off the ' match, whereat his father, Count X., : who chanced to be a widower, was sorely j distressed. " So many millions?and al ( lost to the family. Rather than that < should occur, he would marry the lady ] himself." Which he did forthwith. ' , The Mother-in-Law. Tlie latest thing ont in mothers-in-law: She had succeeded in marrying her i son and naturally undertook the management of his household. Presently the son died, but she con- 1 tinned to advise, direct and worn* gen- J erally her daughter-in-law. Then the daughter-in-law married i again, but still the old lady insisted on i bossing things. 1 A friend essayed to convince her that 1 she could have no possible right to inter- ] fere?that the new husband was nothing ( to her. ! ] "Nothing?" she cried; "he nothing ' to me ? Why, am I not his stepmother- 1 in-law on his wife's side ?" _ < Cruelty in a Luxatio Asylum.? j Sarah Staggard, an attendant at the ( lunatic asylum, at Stone, Kent, a Liver- t pool paper says, is in custody for ill { treating a female lunatic. The patient was heard screaming, and she was dis- ' covered in her room suffering intense agony. It was found that all her finger ( nails had been cut off half an inch below ] the quick. Staggard admitted the j offense, adding that she cut the nails be- i cause the patient scratched her. Heavy Snow.?The late snowstorm in 1 the East and South is the most severe one that has been experienced since the ; great storm of 1859. 1 A (?onroous Tomb. Olive Logan describes, in a letter from London, the magnificent mausoleum which Queen Victoria lias erected to the memory of the Prince Consort. " The entrance to this sanctuary is so scniplously guarded that even the queen's chiliiren cannot enter there without written permit. Au exception to this rigorous rule is made 011 the anniversary of the prince's death?the fourteenth of December?when, after services held in the presence of the queen alone, members of the royal family and certain officers of the household are admitted. Eye lias not hitherto seen the equal in magnificence of this mausoleum ; imagination can scarcely conceive it; words are quite powerless to describe it. The rarest pic tures, the choicest statues, tiie most gorgeous gems known to our comprehension, glitter and glow with an almost barbaric splendor on every liand. It has already cost ?5,000,000 sterling, and is not yet finished. Those who have seen the Albert memorial in Hyde Park will have difficulty hi understanding how anything could be grander than that; but that monument to departed greatness is as a Delft plate to a Sevres vase compared to the souvenir to her consort which the queen has erected at Windsor. So great is the gorgeousness displayed in this tribute that one cannot help wondering what liner or more imposing erection mortal hands could raise in England over the body of the queen herself." Men with Tails. Men with tails are found every now and then in some obscure comer of the world, and the sea serpent is frequently seen in some far away sea, by long-tongued and blear-eyed mariners. A few weeks ago we had the latest account of the sea serpent from a captain who saw it disporting itself near the banks of Newfoundland. The men with tails are usually heard of in the center of Africa, though neither Livingstone, Cameron, nor any of the other explorers most familiar with those regions, has ever told us of them. We now hear of them in the Pacific island of New Guinea, and it is the Kev. George Brown, a missionary there, who gives an account of them to the New Zealand Weekly News. He himself did not see them, but he was positively assured of their existence by the natives, who say that the caudal appendage is bony and inflexible, so that they have to dig a hole in the sand before they can sit down, as they die at once if it is broken. They consider a man without it to be so ridiculous that they will not suffer him to live. The Rev. George Brown's ? 1 1 1 1 J 1 A. story is a lively one, out 11 ne iiau Kepiit to himself till lie had caught, bagged, and brought away with him one of the kind of men described by him, he would have enabled Darwin and the rest of us to put more implicit faith in it. Pleasure Taking. Pleasure taking is not nearly as much provided for among our earnest, intense, energetic American people as it should be. We live altogether too much in the future, too little in the present. We live poor that we may die rich. We get all ready to be happy, and when we are quite ready, infirmity or disease or death steps iu, and the chance to take comfort in tin's short life is gone. If we could only be content to seize upon the pleasures that lio just outside and often within our daily pathway, they would make a large sum total at the end of the three score and teu. Far too many of us scorn pleasures that are cheap and near and vi liinour grasp, and complain because we cannot lave such as are costly and remote and inaccessible. Cowardly Assaults. When a candidate for high office is so well liked and so popular with the masses as to make his defeat difficult in a fair and honorable tight, mean and cowardly men are not wanting who* delight in manufacturing lies and slandering his good name. There are also those whose sellishness prompt them to prostitute their honor, ]>ervert truth, and ignore right, for the sake of injuring a competitor in business, whose prosperity they envy, and with whose Lusiuess sagacity they have not the talent to successfully compete in an honorable way. These thoughts are suggested by the mean, cowardly attacks made upon me and my medicines, by those who imagine their pecuniary prospects injured by the great popularity which my standard medicines have acquired, "and the continued growth of my professional practice. Narrow-minded practitioners of medicine, and manufacturers of preparations which do not |K>ssess sufficient merit to successfully compete for popular favor, have resorted to such cowardly strategy as to publish all sorts of ridiculous reports about the composition of my medicines. Almanacs, "receipt books," and other pamphlets are issued and scattered broadcast over the land, wherein those contemptible knaves publish pretended analyses of my medicines, and receipts for making "them. Some of these publications are given high sounding names, pretend to lie issued by respectable men of education and position, for the pood or tue people?the more completely to blind the reader to the real object in tneir circulation, which is to injure the sale of my medicines. ''The Popular Health almanac " is the high sounding name of one of these publications, which contains bogus receipts, without a grain of truth in them. Not less devoid of truth are those which have been published by one Dr. L., of Detroit, in the MMiigan Farmer, and by other manufacturers of medicines, in several so-called journals of pharmacy. They are all prompted by jealousy and utterly fail iu accomplishing the object of their authors, for, notwitnstand- ' ing their free circulation, my medicines continue to sell more largely than any others manufactured in this country, and are constantly increasing in sale despite the base lies concocted and circulated by such knave?}. The people find that these medicines possess genuine merit, accomplish what their manufacturer claims for them, and are not the vile, poisonous nostrums which jealous, narrow-minded physi ciar.s and sneaking compounders of competing medicines represent them to be. Among the j large number of pretended analysis published, , it is a significant fact that no two have been at all ; alike?conclusively proving the dishonesty of their authors. It is enough for the people to i know that while thousands, yes, I may truth- : fully say millions, have taken my medicines ! and liave been cured, no one has ever received injury from their use. .

Down with Prices. In these times of general reduction, that man is shrewd who anticipates the wants of the pub lie. Mr. Powers, of the Grand Central Hotel, llroadway, New York, is the pioneer in reducing prices. Others have since followed suit, still this is the only first-class hotel in the city where one can stop at $2.50 and $3.00 a day. We were pleased to see not long since in one of our exchanges some pretty severe remarks addressed to several persons who, during an interesting lecture by Rev. Jno. 8. C. Abbott, kept up a continuous coughing,which prevented many from hearing. People who caimot refrain from coughing had better stay away from such places, or else take a bottle of Johnson's Anodyne Liniment with them.

For coughs, irritation of the tliroat, caused by cold, or unusual arflrfinn nf iVio vrval nron iih in fme&kin<* in public or Hinging, they produce beneficial results. The importance of giving Sheridan'* Cavalry Coivlilion Poinlrrs to horses that have been out in the cold rain, stood in cold wind, or drank too much cold water, cannot be over estimated ; no man should be without them who owns a good horse.

AMERICAN i NEWSPAPER ! nTT3WYIYYRV JL/JLJLVJLiV JL \/XV X I Contains a complete list of Newspapers i and other Periodicals in the United j States, Territories aiAl Dominion of Con- j ada, arranged alphabetically by towns, | giving name, days of issue, politics, or j general character, form, size, subscrip- j , tion price per yeiir, date of establishment, [ editors' and publishers' names, and CIRCULATION ESTIMATES. The object of the AMERICAN NEWSPAPKR DIRECTORY is not very different from that of the wellknown mercantile agencies which exist in ell lending , cities. The latter keep their subscribers informed of the j character, habit.", reputation, business ability and tin an- I cial strength of persons with whom they are likoly to have ; hceinoKs transactions, enabling them thereby to so regu- < >te those transaction* a? to secure probably profitable dealings, or to avoid such as will be likely to result in I ultimate .annoyance or loss. The DIRECTORY conveys the best obtained Information concerning the character and valuo of newspapnra. It* patrons are the men who expend money in advertising (a large and important class), and it is from them that the publishers of the DIRECTORY, in their capacity of advertising agent."., derive their profit and support It is t<> them and not to newspaper publishers that they owe the duty of faithful service. The theory that advertising agencies are the servants of newspapers, and should advance their interests first, is annihilated by the system long adopted by publishers, almost without exception, of ignoring any idea of protecting tho so-called rgency and maintaining the right to appoint competitors in the same field without the consent of those already occupying it. AS THE MOST IMPORTANT PORTION 0? THE INFORMATION SUPPLIED BY A MERCANTILE AGENCY CONSISTS OF A REPORT OF THE FINANCIAL STRENGTH OF THE PERSON ABOUT WHOM INFORMATION IS ASKKD, SO IS THE CIRCULATION OF A NEWSPAPER OENEBALLT CONSIDERED THE POINT UPON WHICH INFORMATION WILL BE OF MOST VALUE TO THE ADVERTISER. There are, among merchants, some who deny the right of a mercantile agency to inquire into their private affairs, and who decline giving any information upon which a report may be based; but the mercantile agency does not, 011 that account, neglect to make a report. It gets from other sources the best obtainable information, and upon this its est.mate is based, although it cannot be denied that the reticence of the party in question is almost always attributed to a knowledge upon his part that a true report vrould be prejudicial to hi? credit. The report made is, therefore, likely to be less favorable than it might have been had the information asked for been cheerfully and frankly furnished. So also there are among newspaper publishers some wno ucnv tne r\%h\, nj any one vo ur.jviKy wm vucu ?m- i fairs. It his been the policy of the publishers of the DIRECTORY to omit nil information shout circulation whenever plainly and unequivocally commanded to do so. In such cases the matter is disposed of by annexing to the report the words " object* to slating circulation." In every case where the above command ia not plainly : and unequivocally conveyed to the publishers of the DIRECTORY, they make up their report in the same manner pursued by the mercantile agencies In estimating ; the financial strength of a merchant, and, like the (nita, tut ions referred to. they decline to reveal the sources from j which they have obtained their information. It is undoubtedly true that no publication of this charactor is privileged, and that in an instance where a merchant or r? ne-vspsper is seriously injured by an unjustor m-.terlally incorrrct report the courts furnish a romodr. and both mercantile agency or Director* publisher w .1 he held respon.-ible for actual damage shown to accrue i to tn injured party from a report proved upon trial to hevebeen erroneous. This is a liability which the publishers of the DIU ECi TORY cannot escape : it is therefore one which ir.oy hold themselves at ail times ready to meet. The greatest possible care is taken to make the DI RECTORY reports correct. Every publisher is applied to very systematically. All information is taken in a form which excludes any but definite statements whiob cannot be miiunrferstood, while every effort is made to protect honest publishers against such as would resort to lying or perjured reportsto gain an unfair advantage. It ha3 rarely been found that a cause of complaint has arisen .-gainst any report which has appeared, in either of the seven annual volumes of the Directory already issued, which has not resulted either from the neglect of ' a publisher to respond to appeals for information of an i effort on his part to substitute other and different information instead of answering tho plain questions up-n 1 the I lanks furnished for tho purpose from the DIRECj TORY office. i Publishers of newspapers who desire to furnish the Directory with a statement of circulation are supplied : with a blank which takes for granted the following oon: elusions : FIBST. Every publisher is either willing or unwilling to have , his circulation published in the Directory. I SECOND. If any publisher is unwilling to have his circulation published, the publishers of the Directory owe it to their patrons to st&to why the information is withheld. This they do by inserting the words: "Objects to stating i circulation.'' i THIRD. If willing to have his true circulation given, a publiah; er will desire that none but true circulations shall be i published for competing journals. rOCBTH. That none but true circulations may be pnblished, it is necessary that none but explicit statements be acceptI from nnv. FIFTH. A statement intended to convey explicit information I most Le so worded as to prevent the possibility of its meaning being misunderstood. sixth. 1 That none but trne and explicit statements may be ao- t 1 copted irom otbors, every publisher will soe the necessity ! ; of giving his own in regular form, if at all. If one is : | allowed to vary the fonu a little, another may vary it > more. Jf none vary it, all will be fairly treated. i SKVKNTH. < The blank i* entirely unobjectionable to those who j j DKbiRK to furnish full and explicit information. J KIOHTH. I From persons who are not willing to furnish an explicit statement, any other would be worse than useless. ninth. 1 To person* who decline making any statement, the ! | form adopted is as unobjectionable as any other. | TENTH. If a publisher makes no statement of circulation, it ia j i fair to presume that it is from indifference or neglect. ' i neither ot which on his part will excuse the publishers of '< i the Directory for imperfections in their book. For all ) such cases the editor of the Directory has instructions j to estimate the circulation from the beet information ! open to him. The Directory estimates the circulation of no news- ' paper until alter an application has been made to its j publisher for the actual figures, and sufficient time | allowed to elapse for the statement to come to hand had ' any such been forwarded. It is believed that no publisher of a newspaper ex presses dissatisfaction with the circulation accorded his j journal in the AMERICAN NEWSPAPER DIREC; TORY who does not desire to impress the public that ; his edition i "greater than it is in reality. ' The reason given by several publishers for not furnish ' inz an authoritative statement of their circulation for j ; publication in the AMERICAN NEWSPAPER DIREC- j 1 TORY is that many advertisers believe the circulation to I be greater than it really is, and that this is an cdvan- j ! tage to the publisher which would be lost if actual facts ; 1 should be made known. An unusual number of publishers of the leading daily j papers are thisye.tr furnisning the AMERICAN NKWfe- , PAPER DIRECTORY with the actual figures of their | I circulation. v j In addition to the above information, the AMKRI- j ' CAN NEWSPAPER DIRECTORY for 1876 contains i { classified lists as follows ; PERIODICALS PUBLISHING OVER6,000 COPIES ; j EACH ISSUE; RELIGIOUS NEWSPAPERS AND !
