Newspaper vs.. Circular Advertising.

The following ideas of a correspOn.
dent of the Tribune about advertising
are so correct that they deserve to be
disseminated. To one who knows, it
is surprising how little faith there still
is in the value of newspaper advertis-
ing; and still more surprising that it is
claimed that circulars are more valua-
bic than newspapers, when the eX-
perience of all who have most tho
roughly tried both methods has salts.
fled them that circulars rarely initiate
business transaction of any great
magnitude, while the expense of print
ing often exceeds that of advertising i'm
the most valuable mediums offered by
newspapers. Allow us to cite case
While in charge of the advertising of
Broadway hoose, I caused the inser-
tion of lengthy announ cement in all
the editions of the Tribune, at cost of
$500, and was closely questioned by my
employer as to the wisdom of so large
an expenditure in one newspaper. He
thought me unreasOnably eXtravagant,
and would not be satisfied till showed
him by actual figures that the mere
cost of paper and printing the ordinary
circulars we were then using (estimat-
ing for as many circulars as 1 knew
there were Tribunes printed) fully
equalled the sum that had been paid.
Thus it will he seen that If / had ex-
pended 5000 in circulars, L must still
have been at all additional expense to
have distributed them, without taking
into consideration that that, whatever
method l might adopt, could not dis
tribute the circulars as promptly or as
thoroughly as the newspapers would
disseminate my advertisement. Many
a business man is afraid of the expense
of advertising, and yet will pay high
rents for q prominent store to exhibit
his wares, and put up expensive signs,
and seems not to know that both are
expensive methods of advertising. The
instances of men who have made for.
tunes by advertising are too numerous
to question; but how have they done
it? BY exercising good judgment; by
knowing how where and when to ad-
verti.e.
Iventurc the opinion that every per-
son experienced in advertising will
me out IN saying that the business man
who controls the sale of an article that
supplies an actual want, need not fear
to invest largely in advertising, if he
does it with intelligent tact and discri-
mination. Under proper circumstan-
ces he cannot fail of realizing for

War Profits OF M0ney-BrOkcrs and
jewelers..

The various French revolutions have
been very profitable incidents to Lon
don money-brokers and jewellers. In
that of 1889 hundreds of ladies belong

of course became necessary to dispose
of the valuables, and the consequence
was that many of them were disposed
of at an enormous reduction ON their
ordinary price. One of the persons who
is known to haYe been largely engaged
in these transactions was the celebrated
Mr.. Peter Thellasson, then a merchant
in London. Mr.. Thellasson was flor
eign extraction, and had an extensive
connection with the continent, which
probably induced many of the emigres
to resort to him. His gains at this
time are supposed to have been very
considerable. He bequeathed the bulk
of his vast property to accumulate UNI
der certain conditions until it would,

succeeded toit el4O,OOO,0O0. Litigation
and roguery took very good care that
this mighty sum should not be attained,
and the present Lord Rendlesham, his
heir, is nobleman of by no means.
magnificent possessions. Another great
gamer by French misfortunes was Mr..
Rundell, head of the celebrated firm of
crown jewelers-almost as eminent as
Bonner and Bossange, their Partisan
brethren of diamond necklace fame
trading under the style of RundeH &
Bridge. Mr.. Rundelf died a bachelor,
leaving more than million of pounds.
The bulk of his property he bequeathed
to a nephew, who married an Earl's
daughter, and became an M. p, and
was created baronet. The absorption
of these sort of fortunes 10y the aristoc-
racy is, of course, the main secret of its
wealth and consequent influence. The
merchant i'm the first generation, the
wealthy M. z. fn the second, and the
territorial noble in the third. Such is
the burgeoise noblesse at which hungry

AFTER BURIED TREASURE.
Digging for the wealth sf DeparteA
Ceaneerfcfters and uaeartking q

The Knoxville Press aud Herald has
a story of hidden treasure in Cocke
county, Tenn, the search for which
has unearthed the remains of q gigan-
tic Indian. The money, it is said, was
hidden some fifty years ago by counter
feiters, who then infested the the bor-
der States. A man named Fairfield
was told of the buried treasure by a
soldier, who had heard of it by way OF
his father, and-the Press and Herald
goes on-a short time ago Mr.. Fairfield
told the tale as twas told to him" to
Messrs. Underwood and Morton, who
are engaged in mining zinc ON the
bluffs along Pigeon river, in Cooke
county, These gentlemen were much
interested with the narrative, and lis
tened attentively to the tale of the hid
den treasures. A few days ago they
concluded to search the numerous caves
in that locality for the reputed gold and
silver hidden within their recesses.
During their hasty search they found
the skeleton Of what appeared to be an
Indian chief of giant proportion. Near
ly the entire frame was found intact
and in a we'll preserved condition. The
bones were carefully gathered, and the
finders intend having them wired and
arranged in their proper positions. The
frame indicated that of a man at least
eight feet high and of massiye build.
The skull was in perfect condition and
the teeth in complete preservation
In the vicinity of the skeleton were
found one hundred and fifty-eight
pieces of Indian wampum." The
size Of tlie pieces would indicate them
to be of great value, as Indian money
is accounted. uI .iail-.
Major Underwood was in the city
yesterday, and exhibited to us piece
of tie wampum. 1t was button
shaped piece of testaceous shell, with a
hole through the center. The diameter
of the wampum was an inch and q
half, and was about half an inch thick.
The money was strange to all, except a
few of the old residents, whose acquain-
tance with the Indians was made by
mingling with them when they were
lords of the soil. ~ 'iao la5
The search for the money is 10y no
means given up. The discovery of the
skeleton and the wampum belt has but
added to the zest with which the search
is continued. We will record whatever
of interest befalls the seekers for the
treasure of the counterfeiters of fifty
years ago.
