Making a NeWSDaDer.

The New York Herald, when Bennett
first started it, was not much larger
than a sheet of latter paper, but it gave
much light, minute and cheerful news.
1t was full of short paragraphs, printed
in small type, and was an eminently
salable article. 1t sold well from the
first day, but still Bennett had at first a
terrible time. The extreme cheapness
of the paper rendered him absolutely
dependent upon its advertisers, and yet
he dared not charge them more than
fifty cents for square of sixteen lines.
So he had to cut down the expenses to
minimum. He did everything himself
He swept out his cellar, he carried the
paper to the few subscribers it possessed
in the morning, he wrote the editorials,
the news, the criticisms. He did the
reporting and the bookkeeping all, in
fact, that was done. He sat behind his
barrels and his plank, placidly writing,
and when any one came for paper, he
never looked up, but just said, "put
the money on the counter and take one. "
His working day was sixteen hours. In
the morning, from five to eight, he
wrote editorials in his bedroom. During
the business hours he was in the cellar,
engaged in the ordinary routine of edi-
torial work. About l o'clock, having
provided abundant copy for the com.
positors, he sailed forth into Wall
street to compile stock-tables, and to
get matter for spicy paragraphs. From
four to six he was in his Office again,
winding up the business of the day. In
the evening he was abroad-at the thea
tiers, or concert, ball, or public meeting,
which were faithfully written up and
handed to the printers before he went
to bed. He thus, like Atlas, bore the
whole weight of his world upon his own
shoulders.

Of insurance, the prolongatlou OF the
war and the addition of large sum 10
the cost of the war and the suppression

SCIENTIFIC NOTES.

Still another claimant has appeared
for the honor of inventing phOsphoric
bronze, in the person of Mr.. Alexander
Parkes, of Birmingham.
Mr.. Mebay, chemist ut Wardrocaues,
Pasde-C Calls, has devised new method
for preserving the leaves and tops OF
beet-rOOts by means of very dilute hy-
drOchloric acid. The prepared nutri-
ment is very palatable to cattle, and
furnishes cheap and valuable food.
A writer i'm the Scientific american
recommends the following cOntrivance
for facing oil stones: Put thin coat OF
glue on dressed white-pine board ;
when dry put on another; sprinkle
coarse emery on the glue, rubbing it in
well, and after drying put on another
coat of glue and emery. Such a rubber
will speedily reface the hardest stone.
In the Union Meolicole, NJ. Rabuteau
refers to the use of bread made with
sea.water as increasing the appetite
and stimulating digestion. He states
that it is pleasant to eat, and exercises
beneficial influence in cases of dys-

also been found conducive to health on
board ship during long voyages.
The brain of horse seems to enter

of, nine times of ten you will have
no trouble in starting him. AS simple
trick as little pepper, aloes, or the

often succeed in turning attention to

Prof. LANCER lately brought under
the notice of the AnthrOpOlOgical So
ciety of Vienna startling argumentin in
favor of Darwin's development theory,
in the shape of the Uranium of a negro
presenting the hitherto unObserve'i
anomaly of five supernumerary teeth.
Moreover, three of these, viz, an i'll
cisor and two molars, were situated in
the lower jaw. By the arrangement
of those teeth there are in. each row,
right and left, four large grinders in
stead of three. Now, it is well known
fact that the monkeys of the New
World have thirty-six teeth, with four
mOlars, just. as they stood in Prof.

sidered strong evidence by the humane

Cotton Crop Prospects Of the South.

We have but little to add to the re.
marks in our last issue on the crop pros
pect. The weather has been clear and
warm, with daily showers, and from
every direction we receive favorable
crop accounts. In fact, the entire
aspect OF the cotton growing region is
cheering. The second planting, never
theless, is undoubtedly behind hand,
and coming forward at least week later
than last year, it will be more exposed
to worms and grass. On the other hand,
the first planting is luxuriant and pro-
missing, with many fields in bloom and
bolls making, and indications are that
there will be an increase in the product
from hands having been transferred
from rich lands to poor, and from some
increase in white, although little or
none in negro labor. There will also
be an average increase in acreage of not
less than III per cent.-NcW Orleans

DIR. Horvath has succeeded in reviv-
ing dog after the temperature of his
body had been reduced by refrigeration
to 40 degrees Fahrenheit. In an animal
which was first refrigerated and then
warmed, the nervous and muscular
energies were so completely separated
that the muscular action could not be
excited by any electrical stimulus ap-
piled to the nerves, but when the cur
rent was applied directly to the mus
cles they contracted energetically.

The Electoral Vote of 1879.

Most of the tables which have been
published in the papers in regard to the
Presidential electoral vote are erroneous,
from the fact that Congress, few days
S nee, passed a supplemental apportion-
ment bill, giving, on account of frac-
tions, nine States each an additional
representative in Congress, thus increas-
ing the electoral vote by nine. The fol-
lowing table we believe to be accurate,
and those who are specializing upon the
probable result next November would
do well to cut it out and preserve it.
We figure it thus:

At funeral lately there stood in the

minister was in the midst of his sermon
