HOW BENNETT RUNS THE NEW
YORK HERALD.

/
Newport Correspondence of the Chicago Times.
1t is a great mistake to suppose
that Mr.. Bennett has no active share
in the management of the Herald,
simply because he spends almost all
of his time away from New York. |
doubt whether there is a newspaper
proprietor or editor-in- chief III the
country who keeps so close a watch of
his journals affairs as Bennett does
He is in constant receipt Of tele-
grams from the home office, and di-
rects all the important moves which
the paper takes. He gets up very
early indeed for a man of convivial
habits, and devotes a large part Of
the day to the HeraLdS business.
Messengers are continually running
back and forth between his house
and the telegraph office. Itrequires
horse and wagon to bring up his
daily mail from the post office.
Every day at the Herald Office there
is a consultation of editors, and at
that consultation some word is re
ceived from Bennett by telegraph
whether he is in Newport, in Paris,
in Pau, or Africa. Every night be-
fore he goes to bed he knows what
the tone Of the HeraLdS editorial
comments will be in the morning.
He has a private secretary constant
ly with him, who frequently writes
editorials at his dictation, or in ODE
dience to his suggestions, and tele-
graphs them 70 the Herald Every
day, moreover, a copy of the Herald
is sent to Bennett which has the
nsme of the writer of every article
in the paper, from leading editorials
down to the smallest two-line news
paragraph, writing across it with a
blue pencil He knows every man
at work in the Herald office and
just what he does, and he is quick to
redognize good work. His quick
reprOof follows any negligence or
bad work, but that he is not hard
taskmaster is shown by the fact
that most of his men have been a
long time in his service. The Herald
often pears the impress OF BENEFITS
idiosyncrasies, but no one can deny
that on the whole the concern is
very successfully managed. It's in
come has greatly increased since the
elder Bennett died, whether its in
fuence has been extended or not.
The revenue is the criterion of sue
cess in newspaper management, after
all.

HuRR1cANE At PORT ROYAL.

PoRT ROYAL, S. c., Aug. ga hur-
ricane passed overe here on Saturday
night On account of the storm the
ferryman could not convey passengers
across the river. A number of persons
were in the ferry-house awaiting the
abatement of the storm when the heuse
was carried away by the high tide.
Seven bodies were recovered to-day.
The number actually drowned is unccr
tain, as the rumors conflict, varying the
number from twenty to forty. One
washer and one drege of the Coosaw,
Mining Company, in the Coosaw river,
sank. No lives were lost thete. Consid-
erable damage was done to the wharves
and lighters of the company. The es-
timated damage to individual and rail
way property is $4,000. The loss at
Beaufort is estimated at IS 1000.

verGence, where it turns almost due east to
the headwatcrs Of Dlackblrd Creek, and
thence along tlat stream to the Delaware
River. The lanu-cut from tide to tide is
only eight miles, and the estimated cost Of
the work is =, 100000.

NEW YORK. Aug. 6.-The bathing ground

matches that took place there. The main
attraction was the proposition that a little
s-year-old girl would swim from One Hundred

back. Only very few Of those present be-
lieved that a child so young could accomplish
the task, and many bets were made i'll con-
sequence.
Little Emma Rosenleimcr came tripping
along in her beautiful suit Of red silk, en-
bro!dtred and trimmed with lace, red and
white being her favorit colors. SHE entered

CHICAGO.
Trade and social relations have once more
been established between Chicago and the
Manitoba wave, and the su1try, oppressive
weather Of the past week has given place to
condition of things sucll as usually follows
in the wake of the aerial visitor from the
Northwest. The small hours Of Yesterday
morning were ushercd in to the accom-
paninent of 4 brisk combination Of
lightning. thunder, and rain, the effect of
which was clearly perceptibly in the
cooler and even delightful morning mir.
People WHO had experienced for several
nights the greatest difficulty in getting to
sleep no longer tossed on restless pillows,
but sank into deep, quiet, refreshing slunl-
bcrs, from which they awakened with only
one regret-that the period of repose was all
too short The sun shone warmly during the
morning amt afternoon, but his rays were
tempered BY tue breeze which had come in
With the early mornings storm, and tile
day was simply perfect. In the evening,
along towards 6 O'Clock, the city got
the first draft of a fresh blast from Manitoba
The skies were overcast with 1e;uen clouds,
the air was positively chilly, and a hitherto
baked population breathed the refreshing
breeze with Inc ayidity which IL man dying
OF thirst would display towards 4 sparkling
rlll. The change was as sudden as any Of
and quite rs grateful to Il people whom the
extraordinary weather Of the past week
that, IS, extraordinary for Chicago,
~ had enervated and depressed.
The return to the normal condition of CHI
cago weather was, Of course. to be expected
sooner or later, hut it couldn't come ut Il
more opportunc time, both for the half
million Of people who inhabit the leading
sumnler-resort Of the country, and for tllc
effective sllcncinr OF outside scoifers who
were beginning to shoot out tile lip, and to
cry Aha,'' aud to otherwise disport them
selves merely because Chicago was Under

BARRETT'S NEW PLAY,

Mr.. Barrett will appear early next autumn
in Il new tragedy entitled "rendragon," Of
which the Buffalo Courier says:
arthur, the great central parsonage of the
Laureate's epic, Ia, Of necessity, also the hero
Of tine play. But i'll the latter lie is shorn Of
all superhuinan qualities and attributes. and
depicted simply Us a man. The same treat
ment is pursued with the subordinate char
acters: Gui'crT, the faithltss wife;
Lauucclot, tile disIoyal friend; !Modrcti, the
crafty nephew; the willy Firien; Pettct.s,
J}eelircry, Ga'cain, Lucun, Dayonet, the
jester, aud others Of lesser note, all Of whom
are dragged forward, as It were, from the
obscurlty Of the myth into the searching
glare uf the footlisAts. that we may know
thcM for men and women like ourselves.
When it is further stated that the dIalog is in
VERSE, the quality of which is Endorsed in adj
vance by l.jgl! literary authority, and that the
construction is said TO conform accurately to
the latest approved standard Of thu play
wright's art, each act being arranged in :.
single sccne swift in movement aid vivid in
color, it will be sufficiently apparent that the
work is one OF far more than ordinary pre-
tensions.
