A GREAT CAPTAIN AS CRITIC

A GREAT CAPTAIN AS CRITIC.
The city OF New York contains within its bounda-
ries German population or nearly three hundred
and fiity thousand, men, women and children in
cluded The Germans are reading people, and
among them are thousands Of highly educated, in
tellectual and artistic men ana women, to whom
came the news yesterday In the columns OF the
HERALD, in their own loved Teutonic language. Of
the magnificent passages or Auerbach and the
stored sentences OF Louise Muhlbach. telling OF the
opening OF the great Fair OF the Fatherand at
Vienna, on the Danube. SHch an achievement had
never before been known In journalism, and all the
city wondered at It's success. From an early hour
Of the day until the night set In thousands OF Ger
mans crowded the ofhces of the HERALD seeking
to obtain copies Of the paper which contained
the splendid teegraphic dispatches Of Berth0ld
Auerbach and Nine. Muhlbach. Their eager faces
and genuine Teutonic enthusiasm made up pic
ture the like OF which has not been equalled In New
YORK since the tdngs reached 1t OF the fall Of Fort
Sumter. On all the city lines OF horse cars it was
noticeable that every German bore In his hands
copy q the HERALD, with that side Up On which the
clear. bold letters Of the German dispatches were
printed. Explanations or establishment and won
der at the unparalleled feat in journalism were
freely expressed all sides. In the ferry houses
and on the ferrybOats and among tho officers and
crews Of the German shipping, In the German clubs
and lager beer saloons there was intense feeling
Of pride aud satisfaction at the enterprise and
generous expenditure Of money made BY the
HERALD to distance all other newspapers, as It did
yesterday. A most prominent, wealthy and re-
spectacle German fellow citizen yesterday in con-
versation said - es n. nas ss1 ,sE
THE HERALD Is THE BISMARCK OF NEwsPAPRRs.
In everything 1t attempts 1t IL successful Where
other papers fsil the HERALD triumphA and there
u no knowledge ct present Of what II may DO Tho
Vienna Exposition, rs told by the HERALD to-day,
is q surrender Of sedan to the other New York daily
newspapers. That Is my opinion. and time win
justify me in what say. Auerbach is the greatest
living intellect In Germany, and Louise Muhlbach
has no equal as historical story teller Besides
there are the English correspondents, Young ana
Yates who are unequalled In their lines OF writing
- OVER THEIR LAGER. * sttnsr e6e
In all the lager beer saloons In New York, Ho.
boken, Staten Island, Brooklyn and those suburban
places in which the foamy beverage IL recognized
and appreciated as healthful and delicate drink,
in every restaurant and garden to which
thirsty and hungry Teutons resort, the universal
and general topic Of conversation and discussion
yesterday was the publication OF the German de-
spatches to the NEW YORK HERALD. stupendous
achievement like that OF the HERALD Of yesterday
had never before been known. Tho large class Of
literary Germans who are to be found In New York
discussed with evident interest the fact Of
80 great an amount Of money having been
expended for cable Geographic matter and
the engagements OF such eminent and
world-known writer's as Louise Muhlbach and Der.
thold Auerbach, a. well a. the cost OF the new and
complete font OF German type, the excellent dia-
gram OF the Exposition OF Vienna and the various
other costly accessories presented yesterday by the
HERALD to Its million Of readers
The editor OF the HERALD instructed his subordi-
mates to ascertain the opinions OF some OF our more
principal German citizens in the various profess
sons and occupations pursued by them. The first
representative German visited was Major General
Franz Sigel, the hero or Wilson'S Creek and of fifty
other battles, the leader Of the Baden revolution

the responsible position Of Register Of the city Of

General Franz sigcl and tho Herald.
The reporter Of the HERALD called at the Han OF
Records in the City Hall Park yesterday, and on
sending In his card was at once admitted to prI-
vate audience with the distinguished military
strstexist. With laconic tact and precision the
scribe stated the object Of his visit.
General sIaEL Qoq.)-Thc accounts in the
HERALD OF the Vienna Exposition this morning are
capital It's simply splendid, and the Germans Of
New York recognize the fact. 1t must entail
frightful expense upon the paper to obtain the
services Of such distinguished writer's as Louise
Muhlbach and Herr Auerbach and to telegraph over
all the matter. The practical good sense which the
HEKALD displays by publishing German news in
the German language is wonderful, and the enter
prise naturally commends itself to all persons OF
my own nationality.
A GREAT CAPTAIN UTTERs CRITICISM.
REPoRrER-what is your unbiased opinion, Gen.
eral, Of the merits OF our German correspondents
General SIdEI-Miss Muhlbach 10 a historical
novelist who has won name and fame for herself
as writer OF great ability. She ID able to chronicle
facts in o most lucid and graphic manner. but she
is 'sketchyn as compared with Auerbach. He Is .
man Of strong impulses, possessed Of strong yet
very sound opinions, and an ability to present
them to his readers In most acceptable form.
HIS IL man Of philosophic sentiments,
well read and profound thinker. To
have secured his services Is feat In
itself that the HERALD may well be proud
Of How well the Germans OF America will appre-
ciate 1t is at present apocalyptical but am con-
vinced will become soon apparent by the vast In
crease In It's already stupendous circulation. One
thing am sure Of, the HERALD has the warmest
sympathies Of the German people, VINO are able to
appreciate and recognize the services IL does them
and the compliment 1t pays them by publishing
accounts Of their Worlds FAIR In their national
language. tiu ssn Nr sf#r
AURRBAcH's POWER.
REPoRTER-Herr Auerbach has great name.
General sIoEI.-I know 1t; and name, II 1t is o
q good one, goes long way towards winning the
applause OF the public. But Auerbach carries
weight with all his writings. He 10 argumentative
and forctb,e, and can win interest In many sub
jec~ vnsEe ,0thers though more qiScuysIve,.
