EARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Hints nbcnl Work.
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.

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.

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."

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

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.

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
