JOURNALISTIC ENTERPRISE.

One of the most brilliant feats Of
French reporting is the following. 1t
happened at the time when the great
Tropmann murder case was agitating
Paris and France and when everybody
was eager for details:
A reporter who had the matter in hand
left Paris for Cernay, where the father
of Tropmann resided. He arrive d, call
ed upon the Justice of the Peace and the
Commissaire de Police. invited them to
follow him to the Marie, took his seat i'll
the judges chair, and then, with unpar-
alleled audacty, ordered the guarde
champetre to go and bring before him
the assassin's father. The officers
did not say word-the reporter had
conquered them by his air and his de
meanor. When the father of Tropmann
was brought before him, the reporter in
terrogated him as though officially com
missioned to do SO. The result of the
questioning was that the son had
written to his father on the eve and the
day of the crime.
Monsieur lie Commissaire, says the
reporter, ''please 80 to the witnes>'S
house and seize these letters
The functionary obeyed; the letters
were brought. and the reporter read
them, found them full of evidence OF
Tropmann's guilt, and copied thom care
fully and with solemn air. Then, with
respect, he handed the original to the
Justice of the Peace, and asked him to
seal them carefully and keep them for
further use of the Court. The reporter
put the copies into his pocket, saluted
the gentlemen and left.
1t was one o'clock in the afternoon.
and the train that was to bear his letter
to Paris would not leave before evening.
If he sent his precious report by that
train it would be too late for the morn
ing edition of his paper. Besides, he
met two other Paris reporters who had
just arrived, and who would soon learn
the news at Cernay and send it on /"
Paris at the same time he did his report.
What does he do? lie goes up to his
brother reporters and says, Il am dying
