Talking of newspapers, the World, the
new mammoth penny daily, is said to have
started ON a capital Of $3.50, 900, and
some OF the best judges In New York
think that it will be necessary to sink
even more than that large sum before the
Ipaper can be made to pay. To establish
. papes IN New York, sven . weekly, Is
an expsssive operation nowadays. Il
muss be borne in mind, however, t4at
when New York paper once crosses the
Rabicgn, and does pay, it generally pays
munifcensiy. The TINES, Tribums, Her
aid, Ssas, Courier and Enqairey, Journal
Of Commerce., and Commercial Adrsrti-
Ser yield their respective. .proprissors large
incomes. Some of the weekly papers are
also very profitable concerns Bonner
makes handsome fortune every year out
OF his Ledger, and hangs on to all he
makes-thAt is, he is not spendthrift.
He lives well, but neither ostentatiously
nor extfavagantly. A good and fast horse
is Bonner's worldly weakness, and he in
dulges it up to the handle. The Weekly
Mercury is profitable paper. Each of
the Sunday papers yields fair income to
its proprietos-nothing more. The profits
t'of the Home Journal enable Morris and
Willis to live comfortably and elegantly,
besides putting by something for a rainy
day. Frank Leslie lives en- prince, keeps
his yateht and Sail that sort of thing -
and the other Frank, Queen Of the Clip
peri already rich, is making more and
more money every year. II is salts facto-
ry to be able to chronicle the fact nat re-
iigious weeklies are among the mo t prof
liable newspapers of New York. The
Observer has made two or three of the
Morses, brothers of the inventor of the
telegraph, very rich. The ChgSstiGn Ad-
pocate & JouraGi, one Of the most remu-
neratiTe weekiies in the city, yields q
large income TO the Methodist Book Con-
Germ. The Independent, understood to be
owned mainly By BnEen, the dry goods
man, is also verp profitable paper, and
commands tall prices for sdFertiGing.-
Many other religious papers published in
New York, whose names escape me for
the moment, are also in very prosperous
condition, and constitute, collectively, q
formidable olfses TO the pernicious yellow
covered literature of the day. If the
number of subscribers to periodicals. de-
voted to moral and intellectual speciali-
ties may be considered an index to the
moral and intellectual status Of people,
New York has reason TO be proud of her
rank among the cities OF ChristendoEn |;
for, not only are our religious papers Of
all Christian denominations more widely
circulated than those Of any other city in
tho world, bat our periodicals devoted to
medicine, surgery, the fine arts, and 30
the abstract and positive sciences are
second to none in ability, influence and
usefulness. The Werksag Parmsr, pub-
