Journalism in Boston.

Night Editor “Wh»t confounded fool went up to' the symphony concert for us to-night J" ' Young Harvard Graduate (meekly)— *1 did, sir.” Night Editor-r“ You? Oh, yes, you’re the new reported. Well, now, look here, young man, I want to tell you one thing. You say ‘A brilliant and highly cultivated audience attended the symphony concert last night.’ Now that won’t do. That might work very well in Cincinnati or St. Louis, but it won’t go down in Boston. All audiences in Boston are brilliant and highly-enitivated. You can say 'a typical Boston audience’ if you want to, but the blue pencil goes through ‘brilliant and highly cultivated’ on this desk every time.”— Somerville Journal.
