The report published to-day referring to the i'm
mense advertising patronage of the NEW YORK
HERALD is almost beyond belief. But one accus-
toned daily to turn over the double triple and quad
ripple sheets of that immense concern can readily
believe 1t. Sixty-seven columns of closely printed
"adsn make q very comfortable showing, espe-
cally for the proprietor. And be it remembered
too that all of those advertisements are inserted
as new every morning. No date is given for the
purpose OF knowing when the advertisement runs
out. 1t is new each day as 1t appears and pays as
new "ad." The HERALD can make its own
terms, charge its own price, do as it pleases. 1t
cares nothing for those that abuse IL. success
ful and profitable, it IS able to pay largely
for any interesting iniormation and does So IL Is
a grand specimen OF what may be done, II done at
the right time and in the right way. What the
public needed was newspaper, and old Mr.. Ben
nett gave 1t to them. He was by nature a news
paper man, and he built up the grandest news
paper property in the United States. Some of US
can remember its first number, and the contrast
now Is astounding.

From the McKeesport Pa.) Times.l
The astounding and long-discredlted story of
Henderson, the HERALD Commissioner, penetrating
the dark and dismal swamps OF North Carolina
and unmasking that murderous gang and opening
to the world their darkest secrets soon thrown
entirely into The shadow by Stanley's marvellous
journey in search of Livingstone and his wonder
1ul adventures in the interior OF Africa. Then
came the romantic exploits OF O'Kelly in cuba
Li5re and in the seD,pre fel portion of the Ever
Faithful Isle. With the spirit or a knight Grant
and the intelligence of an explorer he made his
way through difficulties and dangers calculated to
dishearten the most determined, especially as an
ignominious death or death from treachery con-
stantly threatened him.
We have scarcely had time to wonder at, not to
ponder, these startling and wonderful adventures
and achievements, when comes the news that Fox

called him, that their earnest attention and strong

lively to feel the Importance OF favorably Impress
