The remarkable success of The New York World under tho management of Mr. Pulitzer is unprecedented in journalism, and is largely due to tho introduction of pictures to break up tho dull monotony of types. Pulitzer long ago discovered that an illustration, no matter how crude, helped out dry biography, and lent attractiveness to tho paper. Besides, in these go-ahead times men hnvo not time to waste hi much reading, and a small illustration will often tell at a glance more than columns of type. With these facts in view, Mr. Pulitzer has no year raised Tho World from one of the poorest to one of the host nowspaiier propartlcs in New York. When Mr. Puliiz?r arrived in this country about twenty years ago ho could not speak a word of English and was not overprovided with inoona At present ho is also owner of The St. Louts i'ost-Dispatch and a candidate for congress from New York City. How this has all been accomplished hia nppearano shows, for he is the personification of indomitablo icrgy and pluck. Udltor of The Jlerchnut Traveler.

Never WIW A I.OIITUHB. KLkykstiioHAMn has anything happened to equal it in the history of the Americus dry goods trade. The only and best reason that can be assigned to this extraord;. nary success, may' be summed up in the pluck and enterprise used by tho proprietor, and the fact that the purchaser is not slow to find out that iiebk is tho place to trade. While other merchants have held their goods nt regular prices and profits, ho saw fit to reduce his entire stock to such prices and profits that would meet the approv. ai of everybody' and everybody 5 * pocket, and succeeded with flatter ing success.
