 The readers of the JOURNAL AND CoURIER have good idea of the whereabouts sayings and doings of the leading men and women of the country, so it seems to us that perhaps a little information as to the things which in terest the common masses will not come aniss. The desire to make money in some shape we believe to be part and parcel of the makeup of the average American citizen. This has been forci6ly illustrated here in New Haven for the past three weeks. The
 first of October there appeared in all the daily and weekly papers advertisements coV- ering about a column in each paper, setting forth the merits of certain kind of Tea and Coffee, announcing that store was open for the sale of the same that in every can of Tea and Coffee an article of value would be found. The people bought, and that they obtained good quality of goods and that some of the articles were valuable. What was the result? Those who obtained articles of value showed them to others. They in turn purchased and the store was crowded from morning until 10:30 at night. The manager, evidently a smart business man, paid ont large sums for advertising, varying the style of notice and each day giving the names of the fortunate buyers. Everyone, high and low, rich and poor, purchased Tea and Cof- foe, the papers gave the list of the fortunate ones, and we would read Senator Smith, $5e in gold; John Smith (colored) $50 in can of : fairly, and those not finding diamonds, watches, money, etc, got their moneys worth in Tea and Coffee, as the tea cans con- tained H and the coffee cans pounds
 This company has appointed more than
 fifty agents in various cities, none of whom are now selling other articles than TEA and COFFEE, yet each agent has 8 large and rapidly growing trade as the superior quality of their goods becomes known. Orders by mail should be accompanied by cash or postofice order, and will be prompt ly filled and forwarded to all parts of the United States.
