A LADY JOURNALIST.

Mrs Emily Crawford, the eminent Paris journalist, is described by The Star, of London, as an Irish woman, who remembers as a child being carried about on O'Connell's shoulders. She has a strong handsome face, blue eves full of merriment and expression, heavy black lashes and very abundant white hair, which she wears with extreme simplicity. Although she writes moßt intelligently when she wills of ihe latest Paris fashions, she never troubles about her own costume, which is always black, wearirg whatever the dressmaker chances to send home to her. She is an excremely brilliant woman, an always interesting talker, full of wit and anecdote, never for moment at a locs for a word, ann without a spark of malice in her composition. She has extraordinary health and strength, and a .beautiful unconsciousness of hirself-that; is extremely taking. In a saloon filled with beautiful women, the clever women, the statesmen and the wits invariably gravitate in her direction. She is so goodhumored, so amusing and so natural; a quickwitted Celt by birth, a Parisian by education, and a good woman from principle —surely this is a happy combination.
