GERMANS AND DUTCHMEN.-A cor
respondent calls attention to what he
terms a frequent mistake of Ameri-
cans. He says Dutchmen in this
country are very often called Germans,
and Germans are called Dutchmen,
while the difference in nationality is al
most as great as bet ween English and
French people. Dutchmen are Hol-
landers, natives of that industrious
and illustrious little nation from
whence came the first settlers in
New York City and State and in por-
tions of Pennsylvania. Holland, or
the Netherlands, is a kingdom, inde-
pendent from any other power, gov
erned now by William III. of Orange.
Holland has never been part of Ger
many. AS for the language the cor
respondent says: Though there are
a very few words in the German Ian
guage that are the same or sound like
the same in Dutch, a German cannot
understand the Holland language,
neither can a Dutchmau the German
unless he has had the necessary in.
struction."

SING IT, ANYHow.-A clergyman
who had remarkable faith in Watts
hymn-book, said he never could open
to any page without finding a hymn
entirely appropriate to the occasion.
A boy of his thought he would test

song, "Old Grimes is dead" pasted
1t on one Of the pages Of the book so
nicely that it could not be easily de-
tected.
