Englishman, and formerly the New York correspondent of the
London _Times_. Mr. Jennings is a gentleman of ability and culture, and
a journalist of considerable experience. His chief needs are a decided
infusion of American ideas and sentiment, and a recognition of the
dissimilarity between the London and New York mode of viewing matters.
The publisher is Mr. George Jones.

The _Times_, under Mr. Raymond, was one of the freshest and most
thoroughly up to the times journals on the continent. Its
correspondence, especially that from Europe, was exceptionally good.
There has been a falling off in this respect of late. The circulation of
the paper is not known with certainty, but is believed to be about 30,000
or 35,000 copies.

The _World_ is the principal Democratic journal of the city, and aspires
to be the organ of the party throughout the country. It was begun about
the year 1859 as a religious paper, and is said to have sunk about
$300,000 for its projectors. It then became the organ of the Democracy
of the city, and has for some time paid well. It is the property of its
editor, Mr. Manton G. Marble. It is unquestionably one of the ablest
journals in the country. Its editorials are well written, indicative of
deep thought on the subjects treated of, and gentlemanly in tone. In
literary excellence, it is not surpassed by any city journal. It aims to
be in the front rank of the march of ideas, and makes a feature of
discussions of the leading scientific and social questions of the day.
It is lightened by a brilliant display of wit, and the "Funny Man of the
World" is well known in the city. The chief editor is Manton G. Marble.
He is the author of the majority of the leaders. In this he is ably
seconded by Mr. Chamberlain, one of the most forcible and successful
writers on the city press. Mr. Marble is not seen much in the office.
The _World_ rooms are connected with his residence in the upper part of
the city, by a private telegraph, by means of which he exercises a
constant supervision over the paper. The managing editor is Mr. David G.
Croly (the husband of "Jennie June"). He is a genius in his way. He
does not write much, but gives the greater part of the time to
superintending the work of the office. He is said to be extremely
fertile in suggesting themes for treatment to his brother editors. The
great faults of the _World_ are its devotion to sensation journalism, its
thick and thin Roman Catho
