Horace Greeley's literary labors, vast'as they were, did not occupy many and much of his time was consumed in seeing visitors, reading and traveling; and even then he died of overwork, as did Henry J.

Raymond, though he too always took long periods of rest after severe spasms of work. Samuel Bowles, by the aid of a stenographer, gets through a full day's stint of editorial writing and correspondence in a few hours daily. Charles A. Dana is at the Sun office from about 10 to 5, while much of this time is given to receiving visitors and other light work. Whitelaw Reid and Louis J.

Jennings edit their respective papers during the two hours of each afternoon and three or four hours at night. Park Godwin, D. G. Croly, and Major Bundy, who all three have charge of afternoon newspapers, limit their office hours usually from 9 o'clock to 4 at the most, which includes an hour for luncheon. As a sample of the daily life of an exceptionally hardworking journalist, the following account given by Henry Watterson, editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal, may be interesting.

It is taken from an unpublished letter, and it should be remembered that it is written by a man who is partly blind: "I wake up at 10 o'clock in the morning, and, after a cup of coffee, I write for two hours in bed. I get up at noon and have a plunge bath, and take breakfast with my family, who then have taken their lunch. I go to the office afterwards, and. remain there until seven, prepared to see everybody that calls. During the same time work of the day is planned out, and everybody begins it.

I then go home and have supper, and spend the evening until 10 o'clock there, usually listening to my wife, or having a little music. At 10 I am back to the office again, where I remain until 2 o'clock. I am only able to write two hours a day myself; and the rest is done by dictation. I read but little myself, but glance through the exchanges, in order to give an idea of things, having important articles read out loud to me. I have no time for exercise and do not care for riding, all the exercise I get being in walking to and from the office." As an example of the liteiary productiveness of some of the most brilliant and steady writers for the press, I may add that John Hay only writes two" hours a day, usually in the afternoon, though his favorite time of composition is before breakfast.

He writes rapidly, but his daily average is only one column of lYibune brevier. The other members of the Trilmne staff Hassard, Noah, Brooks, Bromley and Congdon do about the same. The average amount written by tho staff of the Times is about the same. Two of the most earnest literary workers in America are Edward Everett Hale and James Parton. Yet, the former is at his desk but three hours each day, and always insists on having nine hours' sleep, which is the same amount that President Grant requires; while Mr.

Parton calls his daily work four hours' composition and three hours' research, or about seven in all, and never exceeds this limit. New York Independent. Frederick W. Seward, tho oldest son of the late William II. Seward.
