Struggles of an Enterprising Frenchmsnf
with Our Native Tongue.
The joyous Portuguese writer who.
rendered a lasting service to the gayetyl
of nations in his learned essay on
"English as She Is Spoke," probably
derived his knowledge of our language
through the complicated media of ~
Portuguese-French and a French-Eng-
lish dictionary, and the latter we sas--
pect to have been the same one en-
ployed by the compiler of Baschct's,
'.Catalogue Illu5tre' of the Paris salon.
This really interesting work not only
gives a more or less entertaining impress
. sion of large number of paintings re-
produced in wood cuts, says the Iaew
York Times, but in its English rerier--
ing of the French titles it gives de-
lightful notion of some French conccp-
tions of our own intricate and battling
tongue.
When the translator sought the Eng
lish for 'Une Bagarre-Des Bnufs
Italiens," the title to picture repre-
senting stampede of Italian cattle, he
hit upon the simple phrase: "a Squnb-
ple." He came across jean, Mon.
| Porte -Carnier' attached to the picture,
of bright young game carrier, follow
ing sportsman who has cvidctnly, from
the appearance of the wcll-filled sack
over the boys shoulder, had very good
luck, and he rendered the title: John,
My Game Bag." When M. Bcrthelon
paints sea after the storm and styles
it; "Mcr Dcmontec" the translator
gives us: "An Outrageous Sea-" the
genesis of which quite cludcs us. A
still life with q red chalk sketch against
some books and an old metal urn has its
title: "Une Sarguine" plumply turned
into: "A Sanguine." With Il touch OF
unexpected familiarity with carly Eng
