New York Newspaper Offices.


One OF the curiosities Of New York To
me is its printing houses, the palaces de
voted 10 the dissemination Of information
for the people al popular prices. In mag
nifcence Of structure The Tribune leads.
1t towers over its peers on Printing House
row, and AT night is brilliantly lighted.
As it is building alone, not in q block,
it is Of course the most noticeable Of all
the city's newspaper offices. Its neigh
bors right and left are The sun, The
Times, The World, The Star and hosts of
smaller publications.
Opposite old st. Paurs Episcopal
church, corner of Ann and Broadway, on
the site OF the old museum, is The Herald :
" hite marble printing house.
A little further down on the corner Of
Fulton street is The Evening Post build
ing, and down Fulton street is the building
occupied by The Commercial Advertiser
since the day of its first establishment.
The business and press rooms Of The Times
are the most commodiOus, convenient and
orderly Of all the New York journals.
The World is too rushing to care for com
fort, The Tribune too busy and The sun
too careless: but they all thrive and keep
an army of reporters constantly on the qui
yive unearthing the city's transactions.
Pay or no pay, they are jolly crowd and
as sharp as the small gamins that besiege
the printing houses after the issue of any
paper.-New York Cor. Chicago Journal.
