THE KING OF REPORTERS.
Romantic Adventures of an american in Eu-
rope.

The sad news comes from Paris
Of the death of w. Benton, the
king of American reporters, who
for seven or eight years past-so M.
e. Dechaumes says in lie Figaro
has been drawing fantastic sala-
ry from one OF the great American
dailies. The lamented w. Benton
scattered abroad the dollars of his
Journal with princely munificence,
was on Intimate terms with all
the political and military celebri-
ties of Europe, spoke eight lam
guages with perfect fiuency, and
assisted at all the wars of the Old
World as most conscientious
spectator. He had gained admis-
sion to Prince Gortschakoff' pres
ence as q tailor, to Bismarck's as a
dog merchant, to the Congress of
Berlin as photographers; he had
gone to royal banquets disguised
as o waiter and to royal burials as
u coffiu.bearer; in 1857 he made the
acquaintance of Mile. Schneider
in the role of a Brazilian diamond
miner, while during the Franco
Prussian war he figured as a Turco
(blacker' than life), Zouave, or a
Uhlan, according as the exigeucies
of the situation demanded. This
accomplished journalist was about
city, where the sensation Of the
time was q troupe Of trained bears.
There were Elk of them, and they
mt through their drills and other
1a formances with such startling
.ularity that it was very gener.
suy suspected that they were not
3 irs, but men disguised in bear
as. w. Benton thought as
ich, and offered to wager with the
81 .nager that he would enter the
J, but the manager declined to
lction his enterprise. w. Ben.
l thereupon invited all the jour
" lists of the city to dinner, assured
,m that the bears were frauds
81 invited them to be present al
fhs afternoon performance mex
day, when he intended tt
Nnmask the humbug. Having
bed an smploye of the menage'
e, Benton, disguised as bear, en-.
te ed the cage. His five compan'
iris seemed furiously excited, but
h attributed this to their desire tc
off suspicion. The public ap'
plauded enthusiastically. 1t was
then that the unhappy being, de-
slfous of carrying out his plan
tgrned toward the press-box, re
loved his BEARS head and bowed
uQiitely. A tremendous roar o.
ighter ensued, followed by ar
mense shrek of terror. The
srs, on seeing this human face
cipitated themselves upon the
fortunate man. Before the tamel
lid take steps to save him, the
,orter, frightfully mutilated, has
,athed his last. Thus perishe6
% poor w. Benton, whose editor
chief seeks valnly a man fit tc
lace him.
