A PRIZE ESSAY ON ADVERTISING.
MIR. Bonner, Of the n. Y. Ledg,
er, whose enormous advertisements
have attracted so much attention, has
advertised himself into a fortune.-
He sends to the New York Times a
note from the tax assessors informing
him that he is rated at 500, 600.
This little note Mr.. Bonner calls IA
prize essay on the benefits Of advcrti-
sing" forto that he attributes his sue
cess, and by that he means to quadru-
pie his fortune. He says:
at certainly shows in more for
cibIc manner than any other docu-
ment have seen how a fortune can
be made in a short space Of time, es-
pecially as my personal estate last
year was assessed onl y at two thou
sand dollars. But have no idea Of
paying taxes on one hundred thou
sand dollars of personal property.
Rather than contribute so large an
amount towards the support Of the nu-
merous scoundrels who plunder the
City Treasury, have concluded to
cxpcnd it in advertising. But, per-
haps, you may say that this will only
prove a temporary relief, as ADVERT
sing will doubtless increase it four
fold. and. instead Of being taxed for
one hundred thousand dollars next
year, | may be taxed for four hundred
thousand"
We clip the above from an ex-
hange, and as evidence of its truth we
would state the fact that Mr.. Bon
ner has paid the Winchester Home
Journal tweuty-nine dollars and sew
enty cents for advertising, during the
last two years. Now, our paper is on
ly ONE among q thousand that have
been paid equal and larger amounts.
If the advertising did not "pay," how
came him so rich? We tell you, men
who advertise literally, and act hon
estly, WILL succeed.

4 Crazy Mon1rch.-The London cor
respondent of the New York Tribune says :
"Th6 King of Prussia has become stark
mad He occasionally belives that he is
a private soldier, who has just received his
commission as ensign, but has since lost
the parchment, and therefore he anxiously
seeks in all the hidden corners of the palace
and hooks in the garden, He dislikes to
be watched by his aid .de-camp, whom he
believes to be his commanding officer.
Though his mental alteration is hopeless,
the question of the Regency remains un-
settled, as the Queen prevents any step in
this direction, and the Ministers do their
best to delay it still more, well aware that
the first measure of the Regent would be
to turn him out of office. The question
becomes still more complicated by the fact
that the English Court wish for the abdi-
cation of the Prince of Russia, and that
the Queens young son-in-law, Prince Fred
eric, may try his hand in governing the
country"
