JOURNALISM IN FRANCE.
A lady writing to the “ Australasian,,’ from Boulogne, says of the French newspapers :—“ When I am in France I don’t do ss the French do, in one particular ; I do not limit myself to one newspaper. One always hears a Frenchman say, ‘ mon journal,' and he sticks to it, andjsweara by it, with that curious narrowness which I have found to be characteristic of the French intellect even in its highest forms. The idea of reading all that is said on all sides of atopic, or on both sides of a discussion, never occurs to them, and thus they are content with that miserable mockery of an intellectual institution, the French press. To read day by day the whole history of the world cn resume, posted up to the latest date, is the habit of Englishmen all over the world, but French people have no such facilities ; the best French newspaper is inferior to our most unpretending provincial journals, and their readers know nothing outside of France, and not as much of the inside of their own country as we learn fron the special correspondents every day.”
