TWO NEW YORK EDITORS.
One Who Takes No Vacation and An.
 other Who Does No Work.

other Who Does No Work. [Royal W. MerrilIs New York Letter.l David M. Stone, editor of the Journal of Commerce, is always at work. Said he to me the other day: "I have never missed secular day at the office of the Journal of Commerce, except upon secular day on
 which the paper was not printed, for twsn- ty-two years, and in that time have nev- | CT been out of reach of the off1ce As for vacation, I have not taken any since the 1 summer of 1S49. There is good deal of | nonsense about vacations" he went on re- fectively. 'tI have noticed that they do so few people any good, for it takes them about as long again to recover from the effects when they return. I think that any man can keep in perfect health and spirits if he keeps right on at his work and does not worry over it. Anxiety will break down any man, but he ought to be able to get over that.n
 For an offset to D. M. Stone take J. G, Bennett, who sailed away from New York two years ago and has not since entered once the corner office in the second floor of the iron building at Ann street and Broadway, which is carefully dusted every day and kept ready for his appearance. The file of the city papers is put there as faithfully each
 
 the steward of Namouna three thousand miles away. Every now and then you hear people say "the Herald must be losing ground and Bennett must be hard up." The Herald does not make the noise that it once did it is true, but 1t has bought new presses and keeps them at work. As for Bennett's being embarrassed on account of his cable invest- ment, said real estate man the other day, l Che could sell out the Herald, give it away and live on the lots that he owns in Harlem
 Few people know that the property left him | there has increased in value every year by an | amount more than he spends. He has lots and lots, and he is improving instead of sell | ing them"
 | After all what does he spend? He has & | yacht it is true, but that yacht is his home, | for like Lieutenant Hem of the Galatea he l spends the best months of the year on board | of her. His house at Newport is for rent. He keeps no city house and his box at the 1 Metropolitan Opera House is to rent. He
 drives no four-i hand, he keeps no stable of racers, no house in town, no villa in the 1 country, and he has no wife to display dress \ and diamonds or to. keep her place in the
 round of fashion. Many New Yorker with l less fortune has his steam yacht as we'll his city house, his country villa and his stable l besides, while Mir. Bennett follows the sea.
 If he needed other income he might possi- ply fall back upon the eight-story building l which covers the entire Nassau street front | between Ann and Fulton and runs back 8 | full lot deep toward Broadway. Pass by it l when you will and q hot blast is always | coming up through the open grates in the
 sidewalk. Look down and you will see the l engine rooms of the Herald where steam
 is always kept up and carried through the | block to Broadway. The rent roll of that 1 building alone would satisfy the annual ex- pense of more extravagant man than MT. Bennett.
