THE DAILY kvENING TELKGHAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, ' MAY 8, 18G7.
A GLIMPSE CF THE NEWSPAPER WORLD.
Scene nt the Old "Herald" Office, by a.
Reporter.
from the N. Y, Citizen.
t There aro low outsiilo the journalistic pro
fession who have not felt considerable trepida
tion on entering the editorial rooms of one of
Gotham's great dailies. The merchant's office
and the banker's private room are lois formi
dable than the editorial sanctum, for the sim
ple reason that journalists, as a class, are the
most irritable men in creation, and dislike
being interrupted when in the mediosan of
Borne profound political article. And then,
again, it's hardly in the range of humanity to
find a sutlkiently sympathizing temperament
to take as much interest in every axe brought
to be ground as the possessor of the article;
therefore, in time, the mildest-mannered man
that ever had to bear with bores becomes brusque
and laeouic. The visitor to the editorial rooms
of the Ha aid should keep the epigrammatical
before his mental vision, and be as concise as
possible in his conversation! this mode of pro
ceeding will simplify matters wonderfully, and
leave the editorial temper unruilled. Suppose
the visitor is an up-town exquisite, who in used
to coming down Breadway in a stage to Wall
street about once in three months, to draw his
quarterly income, then, the purlieus of Nassau
Btreet is to him a terra incognita, and as he
winds his way past the Horse Fair, and escapes
without being kicked while admiring the arc hi
tectural beauties of the ornate Tost OHice, he
will suddenly come upon the sensational bulle
tin of the Evening Post, around which a gaping
crowd of quidnuncs are clustered. Elbowing
his way through this obstacle, he passes along
a narrow pavement lined mainly by saloons
and lawyers' offices. After passing Fulton
street he may safely be said to tread on the
'Printer's l'aradise." On this corner arises,
amid a cloud of steam, the grim old Herald
Jhiilding, that looks as if it had been built of
the bricks of Babel, and might have been used
by the named tribes of the .aborigines as a
l'olyglot bureau. The visiter, on entering the
building by the Nassau street entrauoe, winds
his way up a narrow zinc-covered stairway to
the side of the large advertising office, where a
score of clerks are bu-ily engaged attending to
advertisements, which have to be classified
with care, as this journal has reduced adver
tising to a science, and is particularly solicitous
that cooks and coachmen should be classified
on the Boundeat principles of natural history
and newspaperology. Leaving this, the
mechanical department, where the employes
require no more intellect than is sufficient to
drive a quill, the visitor reaches the head of
the first staircase, trodden time out of mind by
breathless reporters, eager to dash on paper
the news of the day, especially if it be a big
thing on which they can spread themselves,
and finds himself in a large, dingy apartment,
flanked on one side by a pile of paper, and
on the other with windows opening into Nas
sau street, by eight or ten oak desks, each
one marked with the name of the present
occupant. In the centre is a long table hav
ing drawers that contain the yellow paper on
which the reports are usually written. This
paper has a peculiar orange tinge, and is
supposed to be less trying to the eyesight
than the ordinary white, and bundles of it
are generally lying about the desks. At
the extreme left-hand corner sits a lugubrious
darkey, who is grand usher and footman ex
traordinary to the Herald. After informing
this plenipotentiary of the name of the person
whom the visitor wishes to see, the colored
Mercury wings his way down a dark alley that
seems to court burglary and garroting, to any
of the editorial rooms in which the expected
recipient of a visitor is located. Immediately
adjoining the former apartment is the office of
the Managing Editor, which, in its turn, is the
ante-chamber to the sanctum sanctorum devoted
exclusively to the Messrs. Bennett. Dr. Ilosmer,
the present Managing Editor, is here seated,
and has quite a pleasant, cheerful apartment,
where he can examine the editorials aud
other copy during the leisure time between
visitors' calls, which time must bo quite in
finitesimal on some days. The doctor is
gentlemanly and affable, and has that je ne
sais quoi air of the journalist about him. lie
must have pleasant times of it occasionally,
listening to inventive geniuses that want pull's
direct for the offspring of their prolilic brain,
and who insist on giving an unabridged ex
planation of all its benelits and beauties, or he
lias to bear the brunt of abuse that criticized
actors or ridiculed politicians may gratuitously
Leap upon his innocent head. Now it's an
aspiring scribbler that wants to jump
instauter into the editorial chair, or
a gifted lady with a contribution that
she modestly says "might help to fill up
the paper." Ah! my dear madam, that
filling up is a fallacy, alas ! too much indulged
in by the outside world, who think a journalist
is in a chronic state of hunger from a paucity
of news. To our knowledge as much as from
forty to sixty columns of written matter have
accumulated in two or three days. Dr. Ilos
mer has to treat all these people politely, and
get rid of them in any way his alt'ability may
uggeafc, noi ouen an easy matter with mono
maniacs, and like Poe's "Haven," he must
often wish to see them "never more." Ah!
there are several of the editors going into the
sanctum. What are they coins to do there f
Uully the proprietor into increasing their sala
ries f Oh, no, they are convened to a cabinet
council generally held once a day between
twelve ana one, m which they receive in
Btructions as to the tone, etc., of the next
day's editorials. Here it is, according to
Horace ureeift luav, lur. jwuneu losses UD

clined to think that this is a myth, promul

animus of the Herald, which, being mou-par-
isnn. has endeavored, like the lodhou i tie.i,
to be the rellex of public opinion; it makes a

on the paper from the fact that he could write
an article on the same political subject

thought himself just the man for the Herald.
lie these as they may, Mr. Bennett, Sr., walks
xip and down the apartment, hands behind Ins
back, head leaning forward, and eyes bent
down b-neath a pair of shaggy eyebrows, as
he dictates to each what is to be written a
Napoleonic faculty that he possesses in a re
markable degiee, never tangling the several
threads, but keeping each clear and distinct
from the other. This is how the columns of
the journal fulminate in concert, though writ
ten by tnany ditTereut pens.
We will now ramble back to the reporters'
room, which was the one first entered. As for

the chief, thongn ue way
T. o.,a TliH reporters here assemble in the
suiting t about cloven, ami tLcir first duty is
to proceed down the dark passage mentioned
before, that leads to the editors' rooms, es
pecially that of the city dejiartinent, which is
devoted to all news appertaining to the me
tropolis, and where it is examined and arranged
before being sent to the composing rooms,
which are at the top of the building. TJie re
porters have here a "pigeon hole" for letters,
and in which particular instructions, written
by the city editor, are placed. For ordinary
work, however, there is kept a sort of diary
containing the meetings, events, etc., about
to take place during the day, and opposite
each is the name of the gentleman assigned to
report it, who, after ascertaining Ins duties,
returns to the reportorial apartments. This
room of the City Editor is a destructive place,
for his iconoclastic pen destroys many of the
most brilliant lancies of the young and gush
ing reporter, who, until he grows wiser, labors
under the idea that a commercial report or a
cholera case requires to be written in the grandi
loquent style, and flowery language so appro
priated dime novels, but sadly cut of place
on a newspaper. Latin derivation here are
rather at a discount, but pure Saxon is in
great demand. Poetical allusions and classi
cal quotations are unceremoniously ejected,
and the window immediately opened
to let out the musty aroma insepa
rable from .the dead languages. Mr. Charles
Farrel is the present incumbent, if we may use
the expression, assisted by Mr. Charles Han
non the fact-loving Charles, who has a holy
horror of the hifalutin and fanciful. The post
of city editor on a great daily is no sinecure,
as he must be thoroughly posted on current
events, and take care not to be beaten; conse
quently it has a tendency to keep one in a
feverihh state of anxiety all the time, and Mr.
'Farrel no doubt often envies the reporter, who
can get plenty of fresh air and exercise. Both
these gentlemen have had scenes with obstre
perous people, who insist on having articles put
in the way they want them. One man is just
about to open a bureau "to poke into every
body's private business," and is going to have
a ili'jfutitr to celebrate the event, lie is de
sirous that a reporter be sent to give a casual
account of the ieed, and a voluminous one of
the institution, and the great boon it is going
to be to the public. The reporter goes, sees,
and feeds, and is told to make a paragraph
about it. Next day bureau comes up and
blackguards everybody, and wants to know
why a leader was not written about his "Paul
Pry institution." He is blandly told that
puffs are strictly prohibited, so off he goes,
thinking himself a much injured individual,
and the Herald unmindful of private interests.
These occurrences happen every day, and
are some times very ludicrous. One old fat
German came in puffing, and gasped:
"Shay, Mr. Editor, Hans Skumful owe me
five dollars, and he not pay me. Vill you put
de tarn plackgnard in the paper ; will you, Mr.
Editor !"
The Dutchman is informed that this is not
the province of the paper, and he, too, goes
off indignantly, damning Hans and the Herald
alternately.
If business is not particularly pressing, the
reporters amuse themselves in a variety of
ways; one knot is deep in a political discus
sion, another clusters around some returned
correspondent who is telling traveller's stories
of perils by flood and field, and the sights he
has seen abroad, and as no man is any greater
to a journalist than he is to his valet, often
amusing descriptions of celebrities are given
in a comical vein that Bhows their greatness
could not blind the reporter to their foibles.
Two or three in n quiet corner are listening to
the last capital joke or story of the "man who
writes the comical articles," who is generally
a gentleman of vivid imagination, whose facts
have cot to wear a depressing load of fiction
Perhaps Ned Flynn favors a few with his
"reminiscences," for from boy to man he has
been connected with the Herald, and verily
believes it to be the mainspring that makes
the earth revolve. He tells how "young Jim"
swallowed six niggers, knocked down a
Spanish officer, and made big bets, which
shows the young journalist lias a good many
astounding antecedents, and did not leap into
fame through the Henrietta race alone.
Edward is librarian, and is supposed to be,
by the colored office boys, the Vizier to the
Great Mogul. Sometimes a foppish English
man amuses incredulous listeners with his
doings in London, which he, with "much
humility, calls a small "village," and says he
related to Lord Knows-wiio, ana otner ais-
tinguished noblemen of that ilk. Of course,
heiept hounds and a shooting-box in tiie
Highlands, and did the "howling swell" gene
rally while the money lasted. Now, none are
so poor as to do him reverence apart iroin ins
connection with the press, which must and
ought to command respect.
"Halloa! what's going on to-day ?" whis
pers one reporter to another; "thunder I this
is the tenth man I've seen come in wim a gun
in Jiis hand. What's up ? d'ye expect an
attack from rowdies ?" "Pshaw!" says om
niscient Flynn, "it's only A 's article on
breech-loaders in the paper this morning; lie
mentioned a few of the names of manufactu
rers, and these are the fellows whose illus
trious patronymics have not yet appeared in
print." Each armed individual requested an
interview with the Managing Editor, who hap
pened to be, at that time, Mr. Kyan, tne pre
sent Literary Editor, and on obtaining it, pro
ceeded straightway into that gentleman's
room. For some time afterwards the laughing
reporters could hear the click of opening and
shutting the breech, as its novelty is ex
plained to Mr. Kyan by the enthusiasts
The afflicted Literary Editor, who
cared as little about small arms as he did
for anything under the sun, was obliged
to listen blandly to the praises of its excel'

run his eyes along the barrel and peer into the
muzzle. 'This unpleasant proximity to imple

Here comes a bewildered individual with a
horrible account of a savage murder, who asks
breathlessly for tbn C,tv Kditor. and OU being
shown into the sanctum of that potentate, tells
PYi itedlv bin tale of blood. Who could picture

down the luVtory of the heinous deed as coolly
as if he was making out a commercial repert
of cochineal cr grey cotton. The man with the
ti.rAr n't make it out; he-had come
i, 4i, expectation of being button-holed,
j a tviwat the story and answer eager
inquiries; but nobody coadefloended to ask
him anything but the reporter to whom he is
assigned.
A teller in a bank came in last fall with an
account of an embezzlement which he had
written out. "Put it in as it stands," said
he; "it's perfectly correct, I assure you."
"Quite likely, Mr. Teller, considering the
amateur source from which it has emanated;
but communications like these require looking
into, as it is not customary, either before or
after a man's conviction, to call him a rogue
and a scoundrel. These objectionable phrases
are stricken out, and after an alteration, in
which nothing but the bare facts remain, the
article is sent to the composing rooms."
A short time previous to this, a clerk from
a fur store that had been injured by fire, came
the next day to give a few additional particu
lars respecting the conflagration, and desired
uie gentleman wno was writing out the report
to say that "the indomitable energies of Mr.
Q will soon place the nremises in a
thorough state of repair." In this the
sagacious scribe scents a puff, and wisely
omits any mention of Mr. G 's "indomita
ble energies."
In the midst of these conversations, per
haps, a tall, graceful young man, with a florid
complexion, beckons, from the door leading to
the private office, to one of the reporters, who
follows him into the room. This gentleman
is Mr. James Gordon Bennett, Jr., who is quick
and decisive in all his movements; and, con
sidering how much has been dono in every
way, from the possession of wealth and posi
tion, to spoil him, is really a very affable,
gentlemanly young man, whose common
sense, combined with some of the character
istic traits of the sailor, has saved him from
being an egotistical, flippant, and overbearing
lop. Jie is about to send out the person whom
he called in as a correspondent, and in a short
time afterwards this ambassador to a foreign
court comes out with a check in his hand for
expenses, and in a few hours, or the next day,
is off' for distant regions, taking with him a
bundle of printed envelopes and a lump of yel
low paper, i ne mono 01 inose who go on the
Herald must be "ready, ay, ready, " as they
are liable to be suddenly packed off to any
place between Brazil and Hudson's Bay.
ijei us gei oacK to the reporters. Born
journalists, as a class, are sui-gencris, and there
are more pug-nosea, oeetie-browed men In the
profession than in any other; in fact, some of
the cleverest writers have these physical pecu
liarities. The personnel of the reporters is not
very remarkable. Like most newspaper men,
they are by no means fastidious in regard to
the cut of their coats, most of them being
quite content with anything in the shape of
garments, without being particular as to the
pattern. Paper collars and woollen shirts are
greatly affected for economical motives, but
jewelry has no sort of a show. Some are men
who have received collegiate educations, and
once associated in haut-ton society; others,
again, are hard-working, industrious fellows,
who have risen by attention and perseverance.
That noisy fellow, wh is generally in a chronic
state oi astonishment is the Jersey City re
porter. His Irish brogue is boisterously
melodious, and if he has met with some ex
traordinary good item during the day, trolls
out an account that has a strong resemblance
to pumpkins rolling over a barn floor- Near
him sits an "infant," a delicate, puny indi-
;,l..nl l. : i t : a. ..a ; . v .
shoes; the infant's foot ia about the size of a
child's coffin, and might be turned to some
practical advantage, such as bring tests of
Christianity, for were he to tread on the pet
corns of the patron Christian, and that gen
tleman refrain from swearing, the name of
such a being could safely be added to the
calendar of saints. He also dwells affection
ately on the It's, and even were he to act
Hamlet, and soliloquized over Yorick's gibes
that were wont
"To set the table on a roar-r."
the pronunciation of the rough letter would
probably set the audience on a roar-r.
Ihe qulet-looiiing individual in tne corner is
James Restine, one of the finest descriptive
writers on the New York press, and also a
pleasing poet, who, in apostrophizing faded
flowers, says of departed friends:
"They now are dead, like you frail beauties of
me year."
Hopping about is the mercurial Philp, a
gigantic individual of four feet nothing and a
halt, with merry black eyes, nez retrousse, and
piping shrill voice, presenting a perfect picture
ot a printer's imp, which he is, 01 tne most
unmitigated species. His forte is sporting and
humorous sketches. He once carried his
jocose vein too far, while on a Brooklyn paper
Ifstyear, having lampooned the pictures ot
the Ait Association in such an outrageous
manner that the editor, in a towering passion,
summarily dismissed him. Philp is invariably
in a chronic state of impecuniosity, though he
writes well and gets liberally paid tor it. lie
one day, at the Fulton Ferry, went up to a
venerable-looking stranger, from whom he
asked the loan of five dollars.
"Sir," said the old gentleman, "what do you
take me for ?"
'For a d d fool, or I shouldn't have asked
you," replied the irrepressible, in his shrillest
accent.
So much for this genius, who is at present
gammoning a small-sized "KanucK, iresn
from the frozen-up districts, whose innocent
look, as he believes implicitly all he is totd,
would indicate that he was a good young man,
who bad kept tautc rabbits in his boyhood, and
Elayed all nis lite with his sisters. There is a
eap of trouble on Kanuck's mind; he owes a
board bill, and has been wearing a flannel shirt
lor tne last two months, and not being on tne
regular staff, has only succeeded in i making
about $3 this week, 'lie's not thinking of
working, like many michtv men, but is
financing how to raise the other four dollars to
pay the irate landlady. He loves poetry also,
but finds it don't pay.
r mung arouna is gentleman Jonas, wun
tight trousers and csat, made, as he asserts,
by a "swell tailor in Loudon."
"Jonas, you're a ceutleman." savs Clowes,
another English reporter with a fund of humor
that smacks of Lancashire.
"lhank you for nothincr." replied Jonas,
who thinks it a self-evident proposition.
Then little Tooly takes up the cudgels
he's a power on wagging, and says disagree-
uuio mings in a cooi, collected way, -lyle
at his finger ends, and flops logic in the
face of his argumentative antagonist. Jonas
and he are giving each other particular Jeru
salem about the definition of learned words
which the former is fond of using, aud in his
reports those six syllables shine like Tenny
son's diamonds stretched on the finger oi an
time.
Doyle, the humorous police reporter, steps
iu at this juncture with O'Connell; the latter,
a graduate of Trinity, has lust received some
information respecting the loss of the Evening
Star; and as he sits down to write it two men
come in and ask to look at his memorandum
of those saved. Suddenly they embrace and
name on the list. Tliw t attention.
Jonas and Tooly leave their discussion and
orowd around; the men r nverioved. and
give a cordial invitation to all to come out and
have a bottle of wine, in invitation which,
we are happy to say. was declined, as it
showed that Heruld reporters do refuae drinks,
, "Who is that on crutches, with a soldier's
cap, that has just entered and asked to see
Mr. Bennett?" asked one of the crowd.
"That," replied another, "is General
Sickles."
The General and Mr. Bennett, who hap
pened to bo on his way to the carriage, took a
seat at one of the reportorial desks, and were
shortly afterwardsjoined by Mr. Bennett, Jr.,
who had just had an interview with Jerome
and Lorillard relative to the proposed yacht
race. All sorts of people have been in this
room; politicians of every party, foreign
noblemen, Japanese princes, bankers and
merchants, prize-lighters and Common Coun
cilmen, actors, Aldermen, Government con
tractors, and such as generally live upon
public patronage, long-haired literary people,
the jaunty Miles O'Reilly aud Mr. Ben
nett's lawyer, who smacks his lips and
seems to be always washing his hands in
invisible water with imperceptible soap. From
S) to about 11 at night the pens lly fast over
the yellow paper, and about 12 the work is
generally completed, and at 2 P. M. the paper
goes to press. The tons of manuscript here
written would fill an Astor Library, and if the
brilliant thoughts that were ventilated but to
flourish in an ephemeral daily could be but
collected, what an interesting volume of ideas
it would make I This ramble among the
Herald's reporters having been sufficiently
protracted, we beg to subscribe ourselves
yours, in the freemasonry of journalism.
