Revenue from Advertising.
New York Times.1

AS to what reyenue comes from
advertising, there can. be but little
said, ms this is part Of The private
business of the concern, and figures
are not easy to arrive at. London
and New York papers, however
head the list, and the London Time,
and New York Herald enjoy the lar.
scst patronage Of any newspapers IN
the world. What these papers re.
ceive is unknown. but is said that The
proprietor of the London Times gave
the receipt of one department of his
paper TO his wife for pocket money
and it amounted to four hundred
Thousand dollars per year. Severa
Partisan papers are reported rs re,
ceiving one hundred thousand dol.
lars per year on advertising, and {
nu.nber of American papers car
equal and excel this amount. What.
ever the amounts, The question is de.
cidcd By more than two hundred
years of fair trial that advertising
pays, and The thorough going bust,
hess man of the nineteenth century
considers knowledge of the best
means Of advertising almost as nee,
essary in business as a knowledge Of

Great Battle in zululand.

LONDON, May 30.-A telegram from
Martizburg, dated May il, says: ''There
is exciting news from the Tugela from
tier, near Helpmaaker. On the llth OF
May, great battle took place at a point
between ThringpOst and Sanwhala. A
powerful Zulu chief named Matcona,
with all his people, numbering some
thousands, had resolved 10 surrender 10
the British; he was joined by Dabal-
manzi, Cety~ayo's brother, who COM
manded the Zulus at Ojinghilow, and
a remnant OF that army, its chiefs hav-
ing kept away from CetywayO since
their defeat, through fear. When near
ing the Tchring post they were unex-
pectedly intercepted bya powerful force,
supposed to be commanded by Getty
wayo, coming from the north. 4 fear.
iul conflict ensued, resulting in great
slaughter Of the Zulus, who wished to
surrender, but they were dispersed and
driven back. Matcona escaped. IL is
reported that Dabalmanzi was killed.
King CetywayO, elated with his success
and apparently fearing lord Chelms-
ford's columns, has made a forward
movement, has summoned all his fol-
lowers and taken a strong position
at tie fork at White UmvelOsi. at its
junction with Black UmvelOsi. AZ his
back are some OF the highest mountains
Of Zululand, densely wooded at the
base. The country in front is swanpy.
Here the King evidently awaits the
British. Native scouts state that me has
declared that he will never surrender.
He is believed 10 have collected all his
available forces, and no raids into
Natal are now feared. A bridge across
the Tngela is now available for light
transport. Col. Pearson, who has been
suffering from fever, is better. Much
sickness from sunstroke prevails. The
