HOW NEWSPAPER WORK PAYS
Ia New York-saIaries or the Best
kmoyyn Writers.

ih new hork-Saiartes or inc Best
Known Writers.
G. A. Byrne was telling mo few days ago.
writes New York correspondent, that when
he first came to New York in 1867 and went
upon the Herald there were no moro than two
reporters in the Office whose weekly income
was more than SIS. Byrne, as a reporter of
that paper got to making 800 week before
no left the paper, and know dozen men
there who get fro m $40 upward rs q regular
thing.
In the days Byrne was telling OF the SIN
had only two reporters, and they had to work
| like cart horses on small salaries. Now the
| Sun reporters are the best paid men in New
| York in that class of work, though on tho
| Times and World $75 is by no means an un-
| common bill for reporter to roll up. Tho
| Tribune is still, rs it always has been, the
| meanest of all the large dailies to its men.
| The Sun pays SO per column for all its local
| work, and the other big papers pay So.
When we come to other classes of men in
| literature we strike some big pay. George
| Alfred Townsend gets $3.50 week from the
| Cincinnati Enquirer for sending q daily tele-
graphic letter from New York. Beside this
he makes $50 or $40 weekly on the other
letters and articles which he furnishes to
various newspapers. Joe Howard says his
salary OH the New York Herald Is $3.50 a
outside letters Joaquin Miller makes an
even 800 week by writing one manifold
letter and sending it to ten different news
papers. have known Bret Harte to get 800
a column for writing story a week. John
Swinton received $3.50 week as day editor of
the Sun and gave it up to start his own paper.
Josh Billings gets $1,000 year from the Nep
York Weekly for grinding out half column of
idiocy every week, about half of which is
promptly and permanently put upon the shelf
| because it is too tart even for that paper.
There are lot Of rhymers aud cheap story
writers who make $40 week or more by
writing miserable stuff for the weekly
papers. The poorest paid people are those
who mako business of turning out mat
ter for the magazines. Junius Browne, who
ought to be able to do pretty well upon
| his reputation as q war correspondent, says
he can't make more than $4,000 year with
his pen. That is because he would rather be
literary than come down from his pedestal
and work against space with the rest of u.s.
But, with reporters making from $50 to 800
a week. and correspondents gathering four or
| five times as much, it doesn't seem to me
| that the writer's of New York need starve.
| The trouble with them is that as soon as they
have made little reputation they think
they ought to be allowed to fail back on
their laurels and take things easy for tho
| balance OF their lives.

The Mayors Wit.

His Honor, the Mayor, great and grave as
we all know him to be, is not SO great and
grave that he cannot sometimes relax into
righteousness. 1t is his distinction that
when he become facetious he lapses
into Latin. When be is mad he can swear in
plain ango-saxon terms as tersely as any
body who never saw schoolhouse or lexi-
con; but when he unlimbers his intellect for
indulgence In wit he cannot help being
classical.
Last evening there was In the City Hall
an assembly of solemn gentlemen, gathered
by the Mayor under sort of promise that he
would materialize for their edificalion the
spirit of the late lamented General Andrew
Jackson. The taste that would crack joke,
even good one, ON such an occasion may
be questioned; or, rather, it might be ques-
toned but for the fact that whatever His
Honor does is unquestionably proper. Well,
then and there, when The awful ghost of the
great Democrat was momentarily expected
to appear, like Hamlet's father, AMI the lat
er-day Democrats present we're seriously cog
itating what manner of apology they should
make for stealing the name of Democracy to
cover their crimes against the constitution
and equal rights, His Honor had the
temerity to allude to the "norus homo
of the PRESS" The audience of, perhaps,
four hundred persons, scattered through the
vast spaces of the hall, but chiefly in the
galleries, where. apparently, they thought
they would ee safer in case any ghosts
should get beyond control, Thought it was
part of the awful incarnation by which the
spirit was to be summoned, aud they be-
came impressively still and expectant. 1t
was what one might call dreadful funny.
Il has been suggested that this wtticism
was not the Mayors own, that 1t was Dor
rowed from former writer of communica-
tons to the Argus over the signature .Look-
er On" We think all such insinuations do
His Honor injustice. 1t is much more like
ly that the Mayor loaned the joke temper
arily 10 LOCKER On than that he borrowed
it from him. We shall allow nobody to dis
parage our Mayors talent for inyenting Lat
in jokes. Touching this particular one,
however, we expect he holds this rule true,
-decies repetita placebit.

The Louisiana lottery ring has wen a
notable victory over the Postofice Depart
ment in the courts. 1t will be remembered
that after the Postmaster-G General forbade
the delivery of letters to the Secretary of the
lottery company, the New Orleans Nation
al Bank was made the agent of the company
and correspondents were directed to send
letters intended for the company to the
bank. Learning of this arrangement the
Postmaster General directed Postmaster
Merchant at New Orleans not to deliver to
the bank such letters. The company i'm
mediately applied to the United States Dis
trict Court for an injunction forbidding the
Postmaster 10 retain these letters and the
Injunction sought was granted. The Gov
eminent then applied to the Circuit Court
TO have the injunction dissolved and Attor-
ney-General Brewster argued the case at
New Orleans last week. The decision of
the court is against the Government and the
Injunction remains in force. The Postrias-
ter at New Orleans must, therefore, still
continue to deliver to the bank letters in
tended for the lottery company. This de-
eision effectually nulli6es all that the Post
mas'er-General has accomplished In the de
rection of breaking up these lottery con-
Germs and virtually opens the mails to them.

COON MANNERS

Somebody says very wisely: GOOD man
ners are not learned so much from arbitrary
teaching as they are acquired by habit" This
is true; and in order to be always well bred
and at ease, one must remember to practice all
the little amenities and courtesiss of life in
ones own home. Never neglect the good
morning, that "makes all day good" with its
kindness and its thoughtfulness Parents
should insist always on this daily recognition
from their children, and should give 1t in turn
to them. Sons and brothers should take off
their hats on entering the room where their
mother or sisters are, instinciively. 1t is no
sign of gentle breeding or of superiority to give
grudging respect to those nearest us, while we
are pleasant and agreeable and courteous to
those who are comparative strangers. Many
young persons, boys especially, are apt to think
it "sissyish" to be polite to their own sisters.
and to show Difference or respect to their eld-
ers. They seem to think that manliness comes
with gruff manners and disregard of amenities
Never was there greater mistake. 1t is this
very regard for small courtesies that marks the
difference between a boor and gentleman,
that is the test between veneeied. politeness
and politeness that is genuine and comes
from the heart. Many good boys and girls,
however, feel that they cannot behave to suit
themselves in the presence OF company They
feel timid and distrustful o; themselves the
momens they are addressed by a stranger or
appear inscompany. There is but one way 10
get over this feeling and acquire graceful and
easy manners: that is, to do the best they can
all the time at home. Be courteous, agreeable.
civil, kind, gentlemanly and womanly at
home, and then it will soon become kind of
second nature to be so everywhere. Home is
the school for all the best things after all. g.
pecially good manners
