The New York Star describes some of
the peculiarities Of the leading newspa-
per men of that city. Mr.. Bennett, of
the Herald, it says, "always rises when
talking, and rarely talks loud. he
never cared for social pleasures, and in-
dulges frequently in Scotch profanity.
Mr.. Greedy, of the Tribune, is vain to a
degree; he dresses in cleanly garments,
but arranges them with scrupulous re-
gard TO notoriety; ne is fond of atten-
tion, and has had an Office fitted up in
the front of his building, where,
with curtains drawn up, he has
the gas turned full Oh, SO that
he may be seen-in thought-by all
who pass; he affects squeak, and
swears terribly. Mr. Dana, of the San,
INDUCES in velocipedes, military cloak
and scull cap; he has weak eyes, and,
sitting back in his chair, has proofs read
to him, while be chews the pleasant cud
of fancy. Mr.. Marble, of the H'orld,
affects reticeuce: when people praise
him for one of Hurlburt's articles, he
smiles and makes believe it is his; he
didn't like the name of Moses, so he
dropped it; he didn't fancy the sound of
Malone, SO he dropped that. he does not
swear, but whether he keeps the other
commandments in that vicinity depo-
nert saith not. John Swinton rolls his
eyes and rumples his hair, unbpttons
his suspenders, and covers the walls Of
his room with wood cuts-besides he
wears a linen coat covered with ink,
and chews. the ends of long mines. Mr..
Shepherd, Of the Times, is excessively
neat in all his ways; he wants his psper
just so; he holds his head forward, and
sits ON the extreme edge of his chair
when he writes. Mr.. Jennings, of the
Times, writes on small sheets of paper
in copper-plate chirography, is very
fond OF raw oysters, and adores
pale ale. Mr. Reid, of the Tribune,
sits in his shirt sleeves CHATS queer,
but he does). wears velvet "vests," and
mas a gold chain some ten feet long,
which he winds about his neck; he af-
fects the dilettanti business, and his

SOME of the people in one of the New
York wards have petitioned the Board
of Police Commissioners to remove their
present election officers SO that the
voters lmay have fair election. The
Board referred the petition to the com
mittee on Elections. FOREMAN, in a
similar case, would have called ont the
military.

a Foolish Eixht.

The Democracy of Indiana are divid-
ing and fighting over the respective
merits of HENDRICKS and PENDLEToN
asPresideutial candidates in 1872. If they
dent quit tearing the eyes of each other,
ard unite to redeem the State from
Radicalism, it will not matter much to
either faction who the candidate may
be. If they can't carry their State, it is
not likely their influence will have
much weight in National Convention
no matter for what candidate.

probably secure its re-euactment. The
rate, however, will, it is thought, bt

the exemption increased to $4,000. Fol
