…

Mr. [[Bennett, James Gordon|Bennett]] was in Paris in the Winter and Spring of 1847, and never was more industrious than at that time, in corresponding with the Herald. His letters were elaborately prepared. In January and February he wrote upon the Paris, London, and New York Press, on society in Paris, on the character of Louis Philippe, on the rightful claimant of the Ether Discovery, on the political positions of France and England, and on the troubles between Lord Normanby and M. Guizot.

In January Mr. Bennett was presented at Court to Louis Philippe, and was taxed thirty francs a night for three nights in succession for his court dress, sword, and chapeau. It was suggested, as he held a commission as a Major-General in the Mormon Army<ref>Whoever made this suggestion likely confused Bennet with another New York resident more friendly to Mormons, [[Bennett, James Arlington|James Arlington Bennett]].</ref>, that he should appear in the costume suited to his distinguished rank, but as he had never consulted his tailor on the subject, he was not prepared as military Americans travelling in Europe usually are, with the glittering pageantry of war.
