He had shown more of this than he had intended in the tale he had been telling. --Souvenirs de France et d'Italie dans les Années 1830, 1831 et 1832. * * * * * The _Deutsche Reform_ publishes as a curiosity a selection, though an imperfect one, from the catalogue of the flying leaves and small cheap journals, political and satirical, that sprung into existence after the revolution, mostly in Berlin and Vienna; not more than three or four of them now exist. The insect world was a favorite source of names for the satirist, the sting of whose production was frequently only in the title: every week produced the _Hornet_, the _Wasp_, the _Gadfly_, and their plurals, the _Wasps_ and the _Gadflies_; there was also an _Imperial Gadfly_, and one _Wasp's Nest_. The necessity of enlightenment exhausted the means of doing it through the _Torch_, the _Taper_, the _Jet of Gas_, the _Lamp_, the _Everburning Lamp_ (the last flickers still at uncertain intervals, the extinguisher of the Berlin police coming down on it whenever it appears), the _Lantern_ and the _White Lamp_, the _Snuffers_ followed the list of lights, and the whole category concluded in an _Egyptian Darkness_, to which most of them have descended. The other titles are not so well classified: there was a _Democratic Reasoner_, a _Shrieker_ (or _Shouter_), and the _Berlin Widemouth_, the _Barricade Journal_, the _Street Journal_, the _Cat's Music_, the _Red Cap_, the _Sansculottes_ (_Ohne-Hosen_), the _Tower of Fools_, are miscellaneous: there was a variety of devils--the _Travelling Devil_, the _Devil Untied_, the _Church Devil_, the _Revolutionary Devil_. Some of the titles were cant words, quite untranslatable, as _Kladderadatsch_ (the Berlin _Punch_, still existing), the _Klitsch-Klatsch_, and the _Pumpernickel_ (a kind of black bread); the three last were--_The Prussians Have Come_, the _General Wash_, and the _Political Ass_. In the provincial towns all the flying leaves were something for the people--_Volks-boten, Volks-freunde, Volks-zeitung_--in a list that would be too long to repeat. * * * * *
