and very brief decription of it
might not prove uninteresting. as it
shows what grit and perseverance

Charles commenced the publication
of this leading journal few years
ago. The cellar or basement is oc-
cupied by the presses, etc.. where
with lightning rapidity the immense
circulation is printed, folded and
ready for delivery in about an hour.
On the ground floor is the business
ONCE, where the advertising and
subscription clerks are kept toler-
ably busy, Rented offices are on the
tlrst floor. Up the next flight are
the offices of the editorial corps,
where each department is separated
from the other. The news editors,
where the telegraph and exchanges
are manipulated; the local editors
and reporters room; the managing
EDITORS room; the general editors
room, and the room of the
proprietor ale all distinct apart
ments, and connect with small
copy eley atOrS' and speaking tubes
with the composing room up stairs.

Mr.. Russ Warren is foreman and is
gentleman who thoroughly under
stands his business and attends to
it. Everything works like clock
work and the "jour." who cannot
work into the system of the office,
or is int ompetent, is soon "fred," so
that the force now working is COM
posed, with one or two exceptions,
OF frst-class workmen. Convent
ences for comfort, ventilation for
health and plenty of light are con-
slderatlonS'for which the proprie-
tors will always be held in grateful
remembrance by the employees, for
thinking of. On the upper floor are
the mailing room, water closets, ETC.,
and from the windows up there
fine view of the bay is to be had.
