      The Daily News has reduced its price from threepence to a penny . The descent is too rapid—it should have come down to its real value , " twopence-halfpenny . "

      We understand that Mr . Robertson Gladstone is preparing a new version of Paradise Lost , of which Mr . Disraeli is the hero , and of Paradise Regained ^ of which his sainted , if not martyred , brother is the hero .

      M . Henri Rochefort , the proprietor and editor of the new French paper La Lanterne , seems difficult to please . Like another lantern-bearer of school-day memory , it takes him a very long time to discover a really honest man !

      We believe that there is no truth in the report that a certain noble Marquis is about to erect , in the land of the Welshman , a chateau d ^ Espagne , part of which is to be in the Elizabethan order of architecture , and part in the Erl-y Norman !

      French Journalists Have Done Much To Pre...

      French journalists have done much to preserve . the principles of honour by their enthusiastic support of duelling . To call an old gentleman who happens to be stout , " a fat old hog , " is the last discovery they have made in the refinements ' of courtesy . We certainly are sadly behind France in elegance of manner .

      The New Parliament Will Be A Very Lively...

      The new Parliament will be a very lively assembly indeed , if we are to credit the announcement of the Star , that it will number among its members Mr . Andrew Halliday , the muchdreaded author of several tragedy-burlesques ! This gloomy gentleman , if he really wishes to get in , should stand for Highgate—Cemetery !

      Poor M . Bismarck ! Some of the French semi-official prints which follow the Imperial policy of degrading everything that should command respect and honour , unable to frighten M . Bismarck with their bluster , are pelting him with dirty iliirnruo ? and accusing him of being on the verge of delirium ,

      Our innocuous old friend Punch , whose garrulous egotism sometimes does succeed in making one smile , talks , with that spry affectation of waggish juvenility which so well becomes him , of " the b & ton of Field-Marshal Costa . " The joke is rather above the usual Mark , and suggests another pleasing

      little jest ( which our old friend is free to repeat as his own ) about the real Commander-in-Chief being Field-Marshal Cost . " Ah ! I see it , " says the intelligent taxpayer , " and feel it too . "

      The Duke Of Cambridge Was Good Enough To...

      The Duke of Cambridge was good enough to take the chair at the Annual Dinner of the Newspaper Press Fund , and probably the members of the Newspaper Press Fund were grateful for H . R . H . ' s civility . Lord Houghton , on the occasion in question , said something to the effect that Englishmen might

      well be proud that " the head of the army of this country meets the Press 6 f this country on equal terms . " What on earth did his literary lordship mean 1 The Duke and the Press do not meet on equal terms , and if they did there would be nothing to be proud of in the fact . To come to the point , the

      Commander-in-Chief knows a good deal about pipe-clay and all that sort of thing , and the Press—but stop ! Modesty for ourselves and our brethren closes our mouth about our own and their merits !
