THE FRENCH STYLE OF REPORTING.
The following are examples of the style in which the Paris papers report the proceedings of the Assembly;—“M. X—ascended the Tribune in the everlasting pair of grey trousers he wore last session. His voice has cracked, as though he had spent the recess in shouting abuse at the tailor who wished to coax him into ordering a new suit of clothes.’ . . . “When M. Z. arose there was a general musmur of ‘ Who is that ?' for the unfortunate man has allowed his beard to grow, and there is no end to the carroty furze which now bristles over his features.” “ When M. A speaks he always asks for a glass of water and some sugar—not a glass of sugared water. Note the difference. The fact is, he lets the water alone and puts the sugar in his pockets.”
