The German Stage In New York.

The cosmopolitan character of New York is
peculiarly manifest in the great variety of its
theatrical entertainments. Within few past
years the stage Of almost every country has sent
representatives here. French, Italian, Span
ish and even Chinese and Japanese, as well as
English and German companies, have per-
formed at our theatres. For long time the
United States remained in condition Of CO.
lonial dependence on the English stage, and
nearly all of its celebrities have been welcomed
on this side of the Atlantic. The queens of
the French and the Italian stage-Rachel and
Ristori-have shone as stars Of first magnitude
in our American theatrical armament. Our
very large and rapidly increasing German
population has made the German stage become
already permanent institution in all our
great cities. At present Janauschek, at the
Academy Of Music, and Haase, at the Siadt
theatre, are rivalling former triumphs Of Dawi-
son in New York. Haase Is a master Of detail
In the expression Of human emotions, and II
In his delineations of the heroic features Of
human nature he does not reach the height of
a Dawson, Dessoir or Devrient, In his de-
Iineations OF its softer features he undoubtedly
surpasses them. Janauschek is so justifably
confident In her splendid dramatic powers that
she does not hesitate to challenge direct COM

ToPsY TURvY.-A Boston paper boasts Of
its new building, new presses, new type,
new everything. One thing is decidedly
new, an invention which it would be well
for other newspaper proprietors to look
into. The paper is folio sheet You
take the right hand corner in your len hand,
twist the sheet open, go down the lines, with
columns in marching order, wheel according
to Hoes latest tactics, with your colors in ink,
by the right flank. Suddenly you find your
lines broken, your squares smashed, your
spaces all bottom up; in short, an essential
squabble. You endeavor to rally, but the
more you rally the more you sqnabble; but
by dexterous right shoulder shift movement,
executed with some danger to your comrades
nose, you are all right again. The patent for
this extraordinary invention is not yet out (;
but caveat is in the hands Of General Butler,
who only awaits the recovery of General
Grant to put 1t through. The government,
you know, may be topsy turvy some day, and
1t will be handy to have this invention in the
