daily dislikes He has repeatedly behaved in
the most offensive manner towards the Prince
De Reusa, the German ambassador at St.
Petersburg, and even, it is whispered, to more
eminent representatives ofthe German nation.
a New York letter of Saturday says: Our
French adopted citizens here are emulating
the patriotism of their low.countrymen at
home, in doing what they can to help pay of
the big German war debt. The contributions
from various individuals during the last ten
days have run up between $1,000 and $4,000 In
small sums; and, to-day, the compostors Of
the Courier des Etats Unis have resolved to
lay by weekly amount as long as the sub
scription is kept open. The Garde Lafayette
and other French organizations, civic as well
as military, are also coming to the rescue In
the same way and in the same spirit. c.
That. intsrminable play, the "Black
Crook" which seems to survive all accidents
of change In New York, has been so often
ssreconstructedo as almost to preclude the
supposltion that any additional attraction
could be added to it. But as it Is now put
upon the stage at Niblo's Garden, it includes
two features of more than passing interest.
One OF these is the arrangement Of sort ol
circus ring upon the stage, Ground which
horse prances with trained goat upon his
back, the said educated goat, something like
the "wonderful cynocephalus," leaping over
bars, through hoops, &c. Another incident is
a dance by one of the female performers, In
which her partner" is real anaconda. This
last episode, which is described as thrilling,
is:,t must be confessed, something ofa "sen'
sat!on."
