can wait till the next day. Such is the German
system.
The abundant supply of literary men in Germany
and the extreme cheapness Of living renders the
pay Of editors and correspondents small, com.
pared with their earnings in other countries. The
chief editor Of the AHgemeine Zeitang for example,
has yearly salary equivalent to about e., 4oO.--
His two assistants get each the third Of that sum.
The chief editors Of leading papers in Prussia
such as the K6lnisehe Zeitung or National lei
tung, receive from 1000 to 5000 thalers sl 400 to
$4,000 ayear. Reporters and assistants are no.

some Of the most eminent German Swans and trav

that country. These will be hereafter collected aud

the German press is by no means without enter.
prise in obtaining information although not so rapid
nor SO on the alert as the English and American.
German papers are printed on small sheets, few
if any Of them attaining a size equal to half the
present form Of The Tribune. Ifthere is not much
news to print single sheet sufiices for crowd Of
matter the paper issues one, two, or three supple
ments on the same day, according to the necessity
Some papers also print enc or two evening editions
az news comes in these evening editions never
contain anything that was in the morning paper
The AHgemeine Zeitung, which generally publishes
more matter than any Of it's contemporaries, has
eight pretty large closely printed octave pages in
its regular sheet and as many more in its equally
regular supplement. These l6 pages contain
$4,000 ems, las our printers measure or one-third
as much reading matter as is contained in The

German compositors are not paid by the thousand
ems as is usual in this country, but by the thousand

of advertising in Germany are high. For instance,
the Kolnische Zeatung, one Of the cheapest has
four cents line Tor each insertion not in the main
sheet but in supplement The AHgemeine nine
cents for line containing fewer words than line

The journals of Prussia, and especially Of Der |
