AMENITIES OF JOURNALISM.
Whatever objections may be raised upon general grounds to the manner in which Parisian party journalists occasionally refer to each other, it cannot he denied that their observations have, ns a rule, the merit of simplicity, directness, and lire vity. For example it having come to the knowledge of the l mancipation that M. Paul de Ossagnac wore the red riband of of the Legion of Honour, the editor inserted in his leading columns the following bland enquiry :—“ Can Paul de Cassagnac inform ns what notable services he has rendered that, at,the age of 26, he should wear the riband which is glorious only for those who have merited it ?” Whereto M. de Cassngnac thus responds in the last number of bis journal : —“ With pleasure, citizen. I was made a Chevalier of the Legion of Honour for having caused to bite the dust three rascals of your band Rochefort, Flotirens, and Lissagaray. It rests solely with you to give me hereafter a title to the rosette of officer.”
