Something Hint Is AVoll Worth Itcntl- Ing b } * Uusliicss Ono of llio oldest newspaper ndvcrtis * ing ngcuts in the country is Mr. J. II. Untcs , of New York. In "A Retrospec tion , " which ho has recently published , ho jots down the results of his thirty years' experience in the following gos sipy fashion : 1 When I began nowmapcr advertis ing wni not as respectable as it is now- Kcspeetabln is , perhaps , not nttito the right word to express tlio status of a bus iness looked on as rather irregular and queer , but no oilier so good appears tome mo just now. Regular , steady going business houses thirty years ago , felt honipthlug like shamu in ndvortising their goods in the newspapers. This feeling has pretty much worn away , although sonii ) of it still lingers among old-fash ioned business men. 2. 1 should judge that the pcoplo of this country expend nt least thirty times as much money in ncwspnperadvertising ns they did thirty years ago , Tlio vast increase In population nnd newspapers explains n considerable part of this , but it mostly comes from the more general mid freer use made of the ndvortising columns by tlio general nubile. All class es liavo come more ami more to believe that the newspaper is the most imperson al , self-respective , nnd cfTeclivo way of gelling before tlio public with what nny one lias got to sny. Thirty years ago n man who should spend ? 25,000 n year in Iho newspapers would attract nttenlion as a largo adver tiser ; now there tire houses expending nlmost as much monthly , right along through tlio year , without atlracting at tention. Mr. Robert Uonner , whose .un dertakings in nil directions have been characterized by breadth , boldness , pre cision and success , wns tlio first to make the public familiar with Jarge advertis ing , applied in the most original manner , to uuila up the circulation of his Lodger to a point never attained before or sineo by any journal in this country. Although Mr. Uonner's largest newspaper advertis ing was done twenty-live years ago ( for ho rapidly made his paper successful , and , liaving accomplished his purpose , cut ilown his expenses in that channel ) . still no one lias come up to the "splendid audacity" of an order for one insertion of an advertisement to cost over $00,000. And yet , in pecuniary matters , ho js a very exact and careful man. U. It agrees with my experience that newspaper advertising is profitable. As 1 look back over the very considerable number of those whoso advertising 1 have donot J do not now recall a single one who judiciously , perseveringly und freely pushed good articles , -whatever Kim ! , in tlio newspapers , and did not make at least a fair success , while n great many liavo gained ample fortunes. 1 will not mention names in support of this htate- meiit , as 1 could easily do , but the list is a Jarge one. Indeed , it lias been my obser vation th.'it it has been easier for largo advertisers to mnko money than to keep it. Often it comes in so fast that the head gets turned , and lavish personal expendi tures and unprofitable investments swal low up tlio fortunes which , had they been longer in making , would likely liavo uecn more permanent. When business men como to look on the cost of steady newspaper advertising as an investment , sure to pay as well as any other , and , not unlikely to bo exceed ingly profitable , they will use it inoru sys tematically than heretofore , and regard it as n necessary item of expense. 1. Ever sineo 1 liavo been in business there have 'been wide dill'eronces of opinion among advertisers as to the best mediums ana methods , and never so great as now , in consequence of the rival ry between advertisers and agents , and whenever tiny one succeeds by the use of coitain mt'iliums in a certain way ho naturally concludes his methods to be the best , notwithstanding another may have made an equal success by using < jmto an other class of newspapers in ( { 11110 a dif ferent way. Twenty-live years ago largo advertisers , as a rule , contented them selves with a well-written and displayed advertisement taking its nm on the ad vertising pages , or paid something more and used a "special notice" in a position for a long timu the only preferred one in the general run of newspapers , and hav ing no other advantage ever the ordina- i-y advertisement than being nearer the reading matter. Now the struggle is to get preferred positions witli aisplayed advertisements , or to work in notices and reading articles , so that the readers of n newspaper will think thorn cither written or selected , by its editor. Still I d9 not know that ad vertisers now mnko it pay them any bet ter than those did a quarter of a century ngo who used simpler and cheaper meth ods anil told their stories in a plain way over their own names , and used the same advertisements year after year , until the nubile caniu to look on them not unkind ly as old acquaintances. Having seen bticcoss obtained by so many dmcront methods ot advertising , I have learned to bo modest in urging on customers this or tlint way ns tlio only possible ono of succeeding , and content myself with sug- gcstmg what would seem to bo n way suited to the particular case in hnnd , and this with n feeling that other ways might possibly bo as good , if not better. Twenty - . ty years ngo 1 thought I know more about all this than I do now , nnd I leave confi dent and positive rnlvica to the younger agents , who can speak with tlio happy and often winning assurance of n moro limited experience. 0 , lummy , 1 have found 1113 * business moro pleasant to carry on than the average - ago ol the trades nnd professions , The largo newspaper advertisers in my timu linvu been , and nro , as a rule , intelligent men , comfortable to do business with , and I can certainly bear testimony to the honorable sense of obligation among them us a business class when I say that I habitually take verbal orders amounting to many thousands of dollars , nnd do not now recall tin instance whore tlio giving of such informal authority was disputed , 1 doubt whether many , in other lines of business , after thirty years' experience , can bay this ; nnd it pleases mo to think tlint the fact speaks well for both parlies. 1 never expect to engage in any other linn of business , and am quite content with the confidence of these who deal with mo and the modest profit of my transactions , _ A FAMOUif VICTORY. A Chapter of Unwritten History of liiti-roNi to County IMnnocrH. Syracttso ( Nob. ) Herald : .Senator Van Wyck has introduced n bill in the senate appropriating twelve thousand dollars to pay llfty Yankton Indians or their heirs the balance duo them for Ron-ices ns scouts under General Alfred Sully in the campaign ngtiinst the hostile bloux in 1SU1. There is a portion of unwritten his tory connected with thnt campaign. Sol diers who wore in llio light at White Stone river , have binco informed us that Gon. Sully was miles nway with the artillery , when the battle began , and did not get to the lieUl until the Indians wuro re pulsed. Major 1'carmnn wns olllc ref of the day , while Colonel Hob Furnas , of lirownvillo , was in command of the main body. The fight was brought about in the following manner. The command suddenly came upon n largo encampment of Indians , who had re treated out of Minnesota , nfter raiding-a large portion of the Male. Hundreds of lives had been sacrificed to satisfy the cravings of thd red fiends. None wcro spared. The older ones wcro shot down nnd cealpcd , whllo innocent babes hatl their brains dashed out by tlio liundrcds. Upon coming in sight of the encamp ment a halt wns sounded , dipt I ) . Lnboo , who had recruited his company in Otoo coanty , and who was n some what noted character in these days , turned to the colonel nnd said : ' Colonel , shall wo fight them } " "If wo do , " responded the colonel , wo do so without order from Iho general. " Laboo then made n short nddtlrcss to his men , snyingthal they had como 2,000 miles to find tlicso identical Indians , and it would not do to leave without a light. An lown captain was just as eager for tlio fray. Ho addressed his company as follows : "Boys , remember Minnesota nnd give them h II" At this Laboo gave tlio order for every third man to hold two horses while the rest formed in line of bnttlo on foot. These two companies commencing tlio fight was tlio menus of bringing the whole force into nn engage ment. ( Jur troops won a grent victory , killing several hundred Indian nnd making n largo number of prisoners. An immense amount of booty was captured , including fi.OOO ponies , i > nd the Indians in sowing the wind reaped the whirl wind. Gen. Sully reached the battle field with tlio artillery after tlio engagement was over. There was strong talk of having Laboo and the Iowa captain court-mar tialed , but the men replied that the court would bo n dead one flint attempted such n thing. Tlio matter was finally com promised by having the oflieinl bulletin so made out that the general was on the field , directing the movements of the troops in person , and it is so staled in history to-day. Sergeant Nowcomb , of this county , wrote out the bulletin. Ho would write n few lines , when ho would read the same aloud. Tlio general then make the ' ' ' would remark : 'That's good , " or ho would suggest somn slight alteration. Ho was often interrupted by Nowcomb , who would exclaim , "Yes , general , but you know it's a d d liol" So ended the battle of Stone river. THEY WEFIE'DELEGATES.

In ono of the northern counties of Michigan P. Q. Smith bobbed up serenely before the board of supervisors with a claim for $150 for alleged services rendered the county in the capacity of extra , deputy filienll' during a recent misunderstanding between capital and labor. Thechairman of the board reflected a moment and said. "Mr. Smithyou , were indicled by Iho grand jury some years ngo in Ihis county wcro you not ? " "Yes , sir , " modestly observed Smith. "You were convicted nnd sentenced for three months. " "Yes , sir , " replied Smith , without os tentation. "Your case cost tho-coimty ? 12.V "I guess so , " stammered the extra deputy , doubtfully. "You liavo at two different times been in the county jail at an expense to the county of $19. " hniith was silent us ho began to see the drift of Ihn chairman's remarks. "Wo will pass your claim to the credit of your account. You will owe the county ? 20. " As Sir.

Now York Ayorld : Novcr in tlio his- lory of Americn.tnor in tlio history of nny other country , lifts a corporation gro\Mi to such dimensions in so short a , lima as the Amoric.au Bell Telephdno company. Novcr before lias tin inventor so immedi ately grown enormously rich from the proceeds of an invention ns Professor Alexander Graham Boll. Boll's applica tion for n pnlcnt wns received nt the pntent ofllco in Washington February 14 , 1870 , nnd it is n remnrkublo fuel , which adds to the romantic interest , to say noth ing of the legal phases of the story , that nn application for n patent on a speaking- lelophono was received from Professor Elislia Gray , of Chicago , tlio same day , but a llltlo Inter. The patent was granted lo Bell on Iho ground of llio difference in lime und not because of any difi'orenco in the merit of the claims. Titus , by what would ordinarily bo considered a trilling incident wns the Boll Telephone com pany uivon al least a temporary footing , of which it has not failed to take attvan- tage , making Bell a very rich man , and leaving Gray to nurse all his life , per haps , the regret that ho had not been pricked up to one day's greater haste in sending away his application , Bell took his telephone to the Centen nial exposition , where it was seen and oxperimonled with by thousands of vis itors , who never suspected thai it would come to moro than"an ingenious piny- Ihing. It was two years after the Ce'nton- niul that the first telephone exchanges under the Boll patent were established , though a company had been organized in 1877. It was not until 187 ! ) that the now method of communication was firm ly established as a commercial and social necessity , and from that your dates the marvelous growth ami success of the Bell company. Its capital stock on tlio illst of December , 1831 , was $ ' . ' 1,000,000 , ami an application was made last year to the Massachusetts state legislature for an increase to $ ! ! 0,000,000 , which is half the amount of the entire capital stock of the Western Union Telegraph company. The receipts for rentals for the fiscal year emlinp March 1 , 1885 , wore ? 1OG'J,000 , and the not earnings for the company for tlio same time were $1,710,000. The first dividend was not declared till January 1 , 1831 , when ? 2.0riOl ) was paid to stockholders on 7iiOO ! ) shares , or ! 1 per cent. One more dividend of the snmo amount was declared that year , three dividend , vi that amount wore de clared in ! 88'i''t\W dividends of the same amount were pvid ; in 1881) ) , and two of § ' . ' 8B)153 ( ) the same year , five dividends of § 278OUj ; euch'Hvi'fo paid in 1831 , and ono of the sumo alnotlnt wuspuid January 15 , 188,1) , and seventLhuve been paid since. Up to the 18th of .January , 1883 , the total dividends paid to stockholders amounted to about § IOIW,0"00. The original invest ors in licllTclcnllono stock paid from $20 to § 10 per slWre. Since then the stocic has been increased or "watered" seven times , and the 'shares ' are worth $150 each , so thutRin 'original holder has now eicht sharesfor , every ono that he first ho held , and what he paid say $30 for is now worth ? 1200. " " " On the 1st."LL"January , 1880 , the Bell company conWuIWd in tlio United States and ternlorieff774 exchanges , 107,410 cir cuits , 101,731 miles of wire , gave service to 5,103 employes and had 1,000 ! ! subscri bers. Its pay roll last year averaged about $10,000 a month , or about $130,000 a year. The employes are nearly all girls , who receive very small salaries. The expenses are very light , the original cost of property small and the income sure. As n monopoly of the modern school it has no rival , and what it will attain to in another ten years , unless checked in its progress , no ono would undertake to foretell. Tlio character of its property , when it conies to a valuation in dollars and cents , is very well illus- trnted by the insignificant amount it lias paid to tlio various slates for taxes. Up to the beginning of 1885 its total outlay for taxes in all the United States had readied only $120,000. The amount paid for taxes in New York for 1881 was § 21.80. The amount paid in Missouri llio same year was $51.70. In Massachusetts , where the capital slocked is taxed , the amount paid in 1881 in wus $21.410. The amount paid in all the United Spates outside of Massachusetts since 1881 up to the begin ning ot 1885 was less than $25,000. A company Ihat has a combined salary anil tax expense of about $150,000 a yearwith an income of $2,000,000 a year , is a line illuslintion of the modern scheme * of money making. A number of men liavo grown very rich through small investments made in Bell telephone block five or MX years ago. Professor Boll , who makes his homo in Washington , is supposed to bo worth $1,000,000. Ho was originally a Massa chusetts man , and when ho applied for his first ptitent was a teacher of lan guages in n school for deaf and dumb. It was through his Boston acquaintanceship that his first company wns organized. W. 11. Forbes , of Boston , is the president. Ho is said to bo worth from $5,000,000 , to $3,000,000 , which comfortable sum has uceumulalcd on an original investment of $ ( il,000. Other Massachusetts men who have made fortunes tlio same way are Gardner G. Htibbard , of Boston , said to bo worth $3,000,000. C. P. Uowdjtch , of Boston , vice president of the company , is said to bo worth fully us much. Theo dore II Vail is the manager of llio com pany , and is n millionaire two or throe times over. Ex-Congressman W. W. Crape , of Massachusetts , is another man wlio has grown rich on an original small investment. The profits of the company have been distributed almost entirely among citizen ftf Massachusetts , whom the stock is aSulicji quoted and discussed as Western Union'is lioro. By the wayit1 ) is u curious fact that the Western Viii Telegraph company derives n lurgcH income from the Boll Telephone company. A bitter light arose between the two1'corporations ! ' when the latter was in ifs infancy , and there grew out of it a long -nnd bitterly contested litigation , Tlto'iiiatlor ' was finally pot- tied in favor of , tlip Boll company , so far as right of patent-was concerned , but the Western Union1 Jljd not lot loose till it had got an ngjfeo'njent by which it was to receive cortuuV royalties or percentages on the business Tdono. For 1881 the amount so paid xbached llio sum of $8811- 000 , and for $ $ ) it was over $100,000 , This is by fur 'the. heaviest expanse borne by Iho Boil comp'any. A lloclcless Wnsto of Whisky.

Wo find thnt n certain stage of the world's history llio man who was Iho best to organize , equip nnd manage armies was looked to ns the leader and protector of nations , Ills will was law nnd his presence wns all thatVas required to give Ids men that moral courngo which would cnnblo them to brnvo nnd endure the hardest of trials. His very name would send n magnetic stream through cnch ono that would make him feel that Iho battle was half won. Of course there must have boon ncls of valor , logellicr with the good judgment of him who holds this sway over his men. Ho must possess greater faculties of mind than these ho rules. Wo find that in order to humor- lulizo llio workings and acts of these men they must have worked for justice , im munity and country , that they were not selfish , but wore of a disinterested nature nnd for the advancement of their follow man. Men and governments puss away , but the glory of valorous deeds lives on forever. The history of all times and countries have records of the valorous deeds of men that will bo bunded down as long as man exists. Thestatosmun also lias always been the lender of his colleagues. Out of tlio mighty multiludo Of tlio law makers of all countries how isolated are the great statesmen. Homo hatl her mighty men of war , but how few among her great body of senators wore real leaders nnd slatcsmon ? When ho did exist how the multitude would slaro with astonishment and absorb every word uttered. No dissimulations existed among his followers for they knew that bis every sentence was a maxim that could not very well bo contradicted nnd was for llio good of all. Ho mot his opponents openly and above board and with right on his side would stem tlio highest tide. His works are handed down as Uio works of a great mind and are indellibly stamped as tlio rules thatgovcrn nation. All nations have hud them and nothing could keep them from being singled out from their asso ciates , they lowered away above the rest with their erudition and originality ; thair views wuro broad , thoughts of the greatest profundity , and reasoning of deep solidity. These elements are not found but in a few who undertake to muko the laws that govern nations. No oilier nation on earth has ever allowed the statesman that complete liberty of exercising his powers ot mind as the United States. " Ho has no ono to be loyal to but tlio people , and when lie lias done what is right they are satisfied. Sometimes the people's apathy toward their representatives will allow some im provident inombi'.r or demagogue 'to have laws passed that will bo of ail- vantage to a particular class or party and against the wishes of tlio people , but a reaction will set in sooner or later and then the people rise in their might and seek a leader and statesman who will defend their cause. Then is the time that nil the faculties of the true states man arc given an opportunity to be exhibited : then arc the cabalistic mean ing of tlio designs against the people to bo unraveled , then is the time for the broadness of mind , tlio masrivcness ot intellect , the accuracy of reasoning and tlio powers of versatility to be displayed. His reward will be the iclicitntioiis ol the people. How very many men of this stamp have apppcarod and lived in this country since its inception as a free gov ernment , and how honored and revered are their names. Are not their names endeared to every cottage and hamlet in land ? Without precedents they carved out ono of the most complete forms of n free government that hns ever existed , and will bo an exemplification for all nations of the present time and those to be formulated in the future. The great men who are living to-day , what are we going to do with them ? Are wo going to retire lliem from the field of action and fill tlioir places with the untried and the mediocre ? In limes past men of national reputations wcro retained in their places by tlio will of ono person , but in this country they are retained nt the option of the people , and in the majority of cases they have always boon returned as Ion * ' us they wished to exercise the duties of governing or law-making. Sometimes unscrupulous demagogues will defeat the will of the pcoplo , but it is always better to return the true anil the tried. The people of the dillercnt states are proud of their honored statesmen , so much bo that they always point with pride to their works and name. Generally rising , from tlio common walks ot life which is a heritage to all coming generations to emulate and which is duo to tlio free in stitutions of this country. It is not every stale in the Union that cun point witli pride to their great statesmen for the simple reason that they never pos sessed tliom and especially the younger states. How proud must that young state feel that posse < ses a man with a national reputation au l who can go into the national legislative hulls and cope with tlio great men of the older state * . Should such ti man bo the victim of the money grasper and tlio demagogue ? What if such unscrupulous men as the demagogue of the present day should have existed with such power and mini hers at the time of the declaration of in dependence of the United States , we would in that event bo tinner the iron heel of royalty to-day. Now , confining myself to ono particular state , nnd that is Nebraska , T want to ask the people of this state , Is there mich n man within your border lines that lias made for him self uiul his state a national reputation for espousing your cause and making good and wholesome laws for you ? If you find that there is such u man are you not duty bound to see that ho is re- Inined in his plnco ? Do not bo represent ed before the nation bj'incn whom duties are merely perfunctory , and there only to do the bidding of .some other statesman of a greater magnitude. Ketain what prestige you have by holding fust to that which lias gene through the lire and stood the lest , to the ono who has totight the intellectual battles for you , and some day , which is not in llio far future , your state will bo recognized by the country at largo. Lot every man sec that ho gives tills matter his serious attention and then como to the conclusion whether you want to bo represented by a true loader of the people or be governed by n lot of ward bummers , ilcma < ; oguc.st nnd railroad cuppers.

The "Rebels' Rest" is the mime of n house that stands in the wilderness of Sao Pnulo , the most southern of the Bra- zilinn provinces , nnd within n few mill * of the house are a score or so of planta tions hold by men ohco citizensof tlio United States. Those colonists went thither nt the collapto of tlio confedera cy , They now number about 000 persons , und they still keep up their American manners nnd commercial customs. The leader of the little band , llobert Burton , who wtft a civil engineer , recently saw Bedford Maokoy , tlio United Slnte.s con sul at Hio Grande do .Su ) , ami assured him of the prosperity of tlio planters , who , howoyir , often wish they were in North America.agam.
