JuDIcIous ADVERTISING. Nearly
all kinds ofmen testify to the bene-
fits ofadvertising, but here is an in
stance OF man who not only got
rich but also great by the use of
printers ink. The Washington cor.
respondent of the Cincinnati Com
mercial says zone of the wealthiest
members of the House of Represen-
tatives, a gentleman from BROOKLYN,
who made all his money out of pa.
tent medicines, and owes his success
10 Judicioas and extensive advertis-
ing. 1t is not many years since he
went to New York poor and friend
less, but he bad good business habits
which he soon made useful, and to.
day, while yet young man, he is
vastly rich. 1t will take a long
time, fear, to teach merchants as a
class the truth which they ought to
learn form such histories as the one
referred to. Especially is this the
case in the growing West, and it is
perhaps more true Of Cincinnati than
OF any other city in the West. Mer-
chants think that customers come
without solicitation, or those who do
it on scale SO small as to be useless.
1t is only once in a long while that a
man is found who properly appreci-
ates the value OF printers ink in the
accumulation Of a fortune. When
such one is found, however, he al
ways sccceeds."

importantly TO ToBAcCoNIsTs,-
following communication, received
from Commissioner Rollins by Col.

persons engaged in the tobacco trade
in this vicinity. 1t bears date Of
Feb. Is, 1862
SIR-The additional time given by
the act of December %, 1868, durins
which dealers might sell smoking
and fine cut chewing tobacco without
packing and stamping the same, as
required by sections 81 and 7s. Act
OF July 20, expires to-day, and here.
after all such tobacco, before be,nq sold
or offered for sale, must be put up in
the packages prescribed by law, and

of all the Revenue officers to cause
the law in this respect to be complied
with, and report all violations of it
for prosecution. Respectfully,
