COURTESY OF THE SUNDAY PRESS.
The manners of the Sunday press are on a par with its morals. The "Sunday Mercury" of this week, speaking of the editors of the "Presbyterian" and of the Observer, says they are "great knaves or fools we don't know which."—N. Y. Observer.
When New York becomes exhausted of that description of manners, morals, and courtesy which belong to a certain class of her newspaper editors, and requires a fresh recruit of writers of powerful fish-woman tendencies, we advise her to make a draft upon the Ashland Insurance Company. The Company has a pair of that sort, lying about loose, which will probably soon be subject to draft.
