given to the new series Just commenced of the
Unitarian paper heretofore known as the CtriS-
tan Inquirer. 1t is published n New York, aud
proposes now to occupy wider ield, as its
broader title implies, and to enlist fresh con.
t1ibutors in addition to the old writers. Among
the former We notice Rev. DR.. Chaplin and otner
prominent Universaiists.
OF editorial personal gossip there is but little
current at TINS time. IN New York, Mr.. CrOly

upon the Commercial AdCertiSer Mr.. Prime
and Mr.. Stone are the editors OF the Journal Of
Commerce, In the Heraid Office great changes
have been recently made on account of the dis.
COvery of ring" formed to sell special news
to Western papers, which was broken up by the
discharge Of its leaders. Dr. Hosmer is now
managing editor and Charles H. Farrell city
editor. H. Millard. of Buffalo, has become one
OF the editors of the Tint Field, and Farm.
Tne HerGtd's staff is numerically the largest,
the 12bune's the most thoroughly organized,
the Times doing its work with fewer hands.
The Heydtd enjoys the reputation of being the
most liberal to its casual contributors and cor.
respondents; the Times pays contributors WE'LL
furnishes the best law reports, aud uses its eX-
changes diligently, but lacks enterprise in the
matter of foreign correspondence. The Tribune
on the other hand is nIggardly 70 lis cOntrbu-
tors, ,aout liberal to its foreign cOuespon dents,
OF whom IL has q most efficient corps. The other
morning papers-the World Journal Of Cone
merCe, and Daily NelCs-are conducted more
economically, the journal OF Commerce being
perhaps, the only one that can be called profta-
ble. The expenses of the evening papers are
light in comparison.
