Jamea Parton in Youth's Companion. A collar in Nmu atrcot ti the 11 rat office of tbo Herald. It wu a real cellar, not a base ment, lighted only from the street, and conse quently very dark, except near itii atouo steps. The fimt furniture or this office I was told by the late Mr. Gowans, who kept a bookstoro near by conainted of the following articloa: Itoin, pne woo len chair. Item, two omptv floor barrels, with a wide, dirty pino board laid upon them, to serve as a deak and table. End of the inventory. Tho two barrels etooil about four fxt apart, and one end of tho boird was pretty close to the ateps, ho that pussera-by could aeo tho piln 'it Heralds which were placed upou it every morning for eale. KcMsora, pens, iukiitand and pencil were at tho other end, leaving pac in tho middle for au edi.orial dealt. Tbia was in the uummer of 1.T, when Gen. Jackson was president of the United States, and Martin Yau Itureii the favorite candidate for the succes sion. If the reader had been in New York then, and bad wiehod to buy a copy of tho uaucy little papor, which every morning ainuaod and offended the decorous peoplo of that day, ho would have gono down into this underground offico, and there he would hia found its ain gle chair occupied by a tall and vigorous- hkiking man about 40 years of agn, with a alight defect in ouo of his eyes, dresned in a cle.au, but inexpeuBive, suit of summer clotliesv 'J his was Jamos Gordon llcnnett. proprietor, editor, reporter, book-keeper, clerk, office-boy and everything else tuero was appertain lug to the control aud managomout of 1'Le Now lurk Herald, price 1 cent The reader would porbtps have said to him: "I waat to-day's iieiald" liouuett would have looked up from his writing, aud pointed, without apeaking, to the pile of papers at the eud of the bo.rd. The visitor would have taken ono and addiid a ccut to the pile of copper coin adjaceut. If he had lingered a few minutes, the busy writor would not have regarded him, and ho could have watched the uu8uqucnt proceedings without disturbing hiiu. in a few moments a woman might have coma down the stops into tho subterranean oflico, who answered the editor's inquiring look by telling him that she wanted a place as cook, and wished him to write au advertisement for him. This would have been entirely a matter of course, for in the prospectus of the paper it was expressly stated that persons could have their advertisements written for thorn at the otaVe. The editor himself would have written tho advertisement for her with the velocity of a practiced hand, then read it over to her, taking particular pains to get the name epelled right aud tho address corre -t;v stated. "How much in it, eir'' "Tweuty-nve cents." Tne money paid, the editor would instantly have resumed his writing. Sucu visitors, however, were not numerous, for the eriy numbers of tne paper suow very fo advorusemcuts, aud the paper iiuoif was little larger than a Hhoet of foolscap. Small as it was, it was with difficulty kept alive from weeK to week, and it was never too certain as the week drew to a close, whether the pro prietor would be able to pay the printer's bid on i-iaturdy night, and thus secure its re-appearance on Alondiiy morning. There were times when, alter pairing ail the uupostpoua'ole claims, he bad tweuty-nve cents left, or less, us the not result of lus week's toil. He worked eixteen, seventeen, eighteen hours a day, struggling unaided to force his little paper up on au iudiileront, if not a boati.e, public. James Gordon Bennett, you will observe, was lorty years old at this stage of his career. Generally a man who is going to found any thing extraordinary has laid a deep foundation, and got his structure a god way above ground before he is forty yeais of age. But there was he, past forty, and still wrestling with fate, happy if he could get three dollars a week over for bis board. Yet he was a strong man, gifted vith a keen intelligence, strictly temperate In his habits and honest in his dealings. The only point against him was that he had no power, and apparently no desire, to make per sonal friends. Ho was one of those who can not easily ally themselves with other men, but must right their battles alone, victors or vanquished. A native of Scotland, he was born a Roman Catholic, and was partly educated for tho priesthood in a Catholic seminary there; bat ixa was diverted from the priestly otlii-o, as it appears, by reading Byron, Scott and other literature of the day. At twenty he was a ro mantic, impulsive end innocent young man, devouring tne Waveriey novels, and in his va cations visiting "with rapture the scenes de scribed in them. He cume to New York in 1522. He tried many occupations a school, lecture upon political economy, instruction in the Spanish language; but drifted, at length, into tbe daily Dress as dredge-of-all-work, at wtges varying from five to eight dollars a week, with occasional chances to increase his revenue a little by the odd job bery of literature. He filled the place one win ter of Washington correspondent to The New i'ork Enquirer. At length, early in lt&, hav ing accumulated two or three hundred dollars, he conceived the notion of starting a penny paper. First, he looked about for a partner, ile proposed the scheme to a struggling, am bitious young printer and journalist, beginning .u be known in Nassau street, named Horace tireeley. I have heard ilr. Greeley relate the interview. "Bounett came to me," he said, "as I was standing at tbe case setting type, and putting his hand in his pocket pulled out a handiul of money. "There was some gold among it, more silver, and I think one bfty-dodar bid. He said he had between two aud three hundred dollars, and wanted me to go in with him, and set up a daily paper, the printing to be dona in our o:ce ana he to be the editor. "I told him he hadn't money enough. He went away and soon after got other printers to do tho work, and The Herald appeared." This was about bix years before The Tribune was started. Mr. Greeley was right in saying that his future rival iu journalism had not money enongh. The litUe Herald was lively, "mart, audacious aud funny; it pleased a great many people aud made a considerable stir; but tUe price was too low, and the ran$e of jour nalism then was very narrow. It is highly probable that the editor would have been baffled after all, bat for one of those lucUfr accidents which sometime happen to men who are bound to succeed. There was a young man then in the city named Brandreth, who had brought a pill over with him from ugland, and was looking about in New York lor some cheap, eQ'ective way of advertis.ng his pUL He visited Bennett in his cellar, and maue an arrangement to pay him a certain sum b . ery week for a certain ep ice in the columns of Tne Herald. It was the very thing he wanted a little certainty to help htm over that awful day of judgment which comes every week to struggling enterprises Saturday night! Still, the true cause of the final success of the paper was the indomitable character of its founder, his andacUy, his persistence, his power of continuous labor, and the inexhausti ble vivacity of his mind. After a year of vicis situde and doubt, he doubled the price of his oaper, and from that time his prospority was uninterrupted. He turned everything to ac count Six times he was assaulted by persona .vbom he had satirized in his newspaper, and every time he made it tell npon his circulation. .;i oue occasiou, for example, after relating i w his head had been cut open by one of his oi-iuer employers, he added, "The feJow", no doubt, wanted to let out the ever-failing supply of good-humor aud wit v:iich has created such a reputation for Tne Herdd. . . . He has not injured the tkull. !n ideas in a few days will flow as freshly as er, aud he will find it so. to his cot" In this humble, audacious manner, was onndod the newspaper which, in the course of "orty-tight vears, has grown to be one of na tional and international importance. Its founder died it 1872. aged 77 years, in the enjoyment of the laigest revenue whi'-h Lad ever resulted from journalism in the Uni ted Statea, and leaving to his only sou the most valuable newspaper property, perhap, in tbe world. " They Doa't Hlmd tbe Embassadors. Chicago Tribune. The kings and princes that went to Berlin on a visit of congratulation to the venerable em peror of Germany have agreed not to take a trip to Moscow next May to see the emperor of Russia crowned. Dynamite bombs are no re pector of persons, so they will all send their ri-grete by embassadors.

London New a la it not ont of all reason that I should be ill jut now? Bottichor is a convaloeoent, Bnrch ard is away, aud I must keep to my beL We are getting old aud sick, and daro not ask to be our own masters, and devoto ourselves to the cultivation of our pardon or tho care of our owaafTiha. I cannot express how daaii'ou I am to g'tt off for a few days and reet, aftor tho confusion and turmoil of my every day life. If I could bavo my own way I should see no ono for a whole year except wife, childreu . aud graudchildreu. We ought to live for thorn by righta, and I am pre venUxl from doing bo all my life. Why, the next thing is that some councillor or other will road mo a report in the morning how somn members of mv family are after the night's rest and then there will be so much time saved again. Tho emperor is a brave old man, as we could nrm in this laat misfortune that has be firtlon him. Not oue of us all has the ncr-.-ea of the august old Kentlnian. I mii;ht say that as long as work is demanded of him ho has I' j nerves at all. It is our luok that the emprror never breaks dowu, that Moltke is all rii;il, and Kameko is up to anything We civilians are not much good, bome'.l.iiig is the matter with us always, so that whou we grow old we are incessantly on the lookout for an opjiortutiity to get away. The eternal wish for rspose becomra a sort of ail ment, and I for one cannot g'it rid of this ail ment, although I have plonty of other euffer ins to grumblo over. If my career had ebTpped short of a councillor, I should have left my post long ago. As if is, I am con demned to spend mydays in theWilhelmstraase, the street of all others that I have hated since my voutlu I do not think I Khali ever set foot in the reichBtag again. I see they get ou splendidly without me. W'hv, tho empire machine is in first-class working order, aud I am so glad thine is no quarreling just now. If some intorminable dispute were going on, and I should have tit grieve and feel anry about it, I do believe it would be all over with. My present ailment is older than most peoplo think. The doctors have always said there was.-, not the leant danger, but O, the pain I suffer somHtimes! I assure you I conld run up a perpendicular wall w'hon it comoe on. But it only comes occasionally: then it suddenly leaves oT, and I forgot all about it, and live in the hope that it will never return. Just you tell them in the reichstag to do all they cuu to prevent usoloss discussions. Tho emperor notices everything, and it is our duty to spare him as much as possible. It is truo he is in better health than any of us, but he is much older also, and he has deserved to experience nothing but what make him com fortable and happy. If th" greatest Radicals looked upon tho venerable old man, they would stop in the middlo of tho most excited rab ble? Wo may eonsttlar him a model iu all things. Grave Under the Rofte-Bnnli. There have been many illustrations of Shakespeare's words, "One touch of nature makes tbe whole world kin." But we lately camo acrosn one, while reading "Bullet and Shell," a story of the war as tho soldier saw it. whose pathos is both an illustration aud a com mentary on the familiar line. The scene is laid in Hanover, near the border-lino between Maryland and Pennsylvania, through which the Union troopa were marching to Gettys burg. Close to the road stood a farm-house, at the gate of which was an old-fashioned pump and horse-trough. The pump handle waa incon stant motion, as the weary soldiers flocked around to quench their thiref. While waiting my turn to drink, I noticed a gray-haired man leaning over his rude gate, watching the troops, evidently pleased that his puaip was doing such good service. uGood-evening, sir," Raid L "It's rather hot weather for marching." ul s'poee it Is, though I never did any march ing," and as he uttered 'he-ie words he moved a little, so that I paw a uew-mado grave among a clump of rose-bushes just insido the fence!

Mr. Edmunds, as the new president of the senate and acting vice president of the United Statea, comes in for his share of investigation by Paul Pry, and the result is a declaration that the Vermont senator is far from being in "the very moderate circumstances" that he haj often been reported to be. The facts, as given by a journalist who spends part of each year near Mr. Edmunds' home, show that he has an income ranging from $75,000 to 3 100, COO a year. Ills salary as senator is $5,000 a year. Ho receives a salary of 95,000 a year as coun sel for the Vermont Central Railroad company. There is not a single important cas9 brought to the supreme court that does not go to him for au opinion. For those opinions he receives enms varying from 5,00t to 10,000. This Bpriug he went over to New York and made an argument in two cases. His fee in each was Slii.UuO. When Matt Carpenter died he had in hand all the complicated cases growing up out of French claims and the litigation of the cable companies in this oountry. Wh-n Car penter found that he was eoing to die he noti fied these companies. They asked him to name his successor. He eaid Senator Ed munds' was the only man who could take charge of the complicated details of the cases. It is said on good authority that Mr. Edmunds, after Carpenter a death, received JIUU.IAJU in retainers from the cable companies. The same authority puts Mr. Edmunds' total pos sessions down at over 95ti,0H.. In this con nection it may be stated that Mr. Edmunds told a friend hero the other day that he expected to he chairman of the committee of the judiciary in the Forty-eighth congress. This confirms the rumor that be will recign the presidency of tho senate as soon as congress meets, A Tree of Temper. Chicago Tribune.

The career of Wiggins calls to mind the pun ishment which Dean Swift and some of his friends inflicted upon a woather-prophesying impostor in Queen Anno's time, known us Part ridge, tho almanac maker. Partridge started in life as a ahoemakor; but he soon left that for the more profitable aud less laborious pur uits of qnack, prophet, and humbug gener ally. Ilia pretensions imposed on credulous people, and his almanacs wera bought by the thousands. To show what sorry quacks Wig- trina and Vennor are, notwithstanding tho lapse of two centuries, during which the art of hum bugging has been dovelopod immensely, they have not improved in ti;e least on Partridge's svstem. He, just as they, foretold btorms iu March aud December, showers iu April, hot weather in August, and frosts in November, and mado as loud boasts as if a bit was rutde. Swift became disgusted at Partridge's pro tensions, and determined to put him down. Walking around London ouo day, he noticed over a smith's shop tho sign, "Isaac Bn-ker-etaff." It Btrnck his faucy, and he stored it iu his memory for future use. In January, 17un, Partridge came out wifh his almanac as usual. A few weeks afterward Ixmdon was astonished by the publication of a small sheet which pur- Sorted to contain tho yiredictions of Isaac ickerstafT, astrologer. It made a profound eonsation, and tho Kale was great Instead of the vague and indefinite hints at futurity which Partridge's almanacs contained, it fore told foreign and domestic events with the greatest particularity; giving even the hour of the day when deaths of famous men, great victories and defeats should occur But one statement created the most talk ; for at 1 1 o'clock on the 'J9th of March it was predicted that Partridge, the almanac maker, would die. Partridgo himself stoutly denied its truth, but it was of no use. On the 30th of March another pamphlet came ont giving a circum stantial account of his death after a sincere re pentance of his sins and a confession of tho worthlessness of his almanac. Everybody be lieved he was dead, and Partridge w'as never able to convince the public that he was still alive. It broke up his business, and in a few vears he really did die. It is a pity that the dean isn't still on earth to deal with Vennor and Wiggins. A good dose of ridicule is prob ably the most effectual weapon which can be used against them, and the dean was a master of the art The Popular Plait. Detroit Free Press.
