MY DEAR, SINCE WE WON'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO SEE EVERYTHING IN ONE DAY, YOU SHOULD LOOK AT THE PICTURES ON THE RIGHT WHILE I'LL LOOK AT THE ONES ON THE LEFT, AND WHEN WE GET HOME, WE'LL TELL EACH OTHER EVERYTHING WE SAW.

Various news. "The Rue de la Lune has been illuminated with gas light." Correction: In our last edition instead of "The mayor has given birth to twins" it should read: "He has returned into town." We are being informed from Dijon: "The latest frost has completely destroyed the mustard seeds; this will most likely result in considerable price increases for Moutarde de Dijon." - We inform our readers of a new kind of activity: cunning swindlers are getting information about the addresses of regular patrons of coffee houses. While the clients are reading the newspapers, the thieves will pillage to their home.
