THE PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH

Some years ago an article on the "Pennsylvania
Dutch" understood TO have been written by a lady
long resident among the Mennonist farmers OF
Lancaster county, appeared In the Atlantic Monthly.
This paper was Afterwards reprinted In book form,
and now revised edition, containing much add.
tonal information Is issued from the press OF j. B.
Lippincott Co. As literary performance the
work Is OF little Importance, being feeble IN style
and wanting in the perspicuity, which is the nrst
requisite or good English; but as permanent
record OF the manners customs and religious opin.
ions OF a singular people, whose history yet re-
mains to be written, 1t is invaluable. An errone.
GUS impression likely to be drawn from this volume
is that the Pennsylvania Dutch are all Mennonsts,
or their co-relgionists, the Dunkers; whereas the
great German family includes the greater part OF
the people OF the eastern and southern
counties, and exhibits, except at pleas
ure, few OF the peculiarites noted In
these essays. The great body OF the people speak
English, pure and indebted, at the same time that
they are thoroughly conversant with the German
dialect known as Pennsylvania Dutch. There are
no better specimens OF the genuine Pennsylvania
Dutcbman than congressman Clymer and KILN
ger. They were born and bred In the Dutchest OF
the Dutch districts, for in homely Pennsylvania
phrase the count ties OF Berks and Lebanon are las
Dutch as sour kraut,r but there is no provncialism
In their speech, though both OF them speak the
dialect with nuency. The English vernacular In
Pennsylvania Is purer than either In New England
or in the Cotton states, and the German dialect 10

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE FROM STARVATION.

Captain Max Macher very respectable and
well educated German, who was driven by hunger
and misery to attempt suicide, was visited yester
day at the Bellevue Hospital by reporter OF the
HERALD. He denied the report which was pub
lished in morning journal yesterday, and declared
that he had thus far conversed with reporter OF
that or any other paper. Captain Macher, who was
still very .eebe told the story OF mis- suerings in
a plain unvarnished manner He had been three
years in this country, having had to ny his country

some money by importing laces, &c, in a small
way but ever since the panic he found it impos-
sible to gain living, Despite the most strenuous
efforts to find situation he could obtain no means
of subsistence, and for the last five or six weeks
was exposed TO she sufferings OF cold and hunger.
From Wednesday morning to Friday night ne
had no food whatever, and was finally driven 70
suicide "tO end all his tortures," as he said. He
had respectable connections In Germany, and his
parents in BreSlau VINO were Well OF, would I'M
doubleday send him some money in about TOUR
weeks. Now he was without cent, however, ana
without decent clothes, and II he could but obtain
some clean apparel and money enough I0r the next
two weeks he would again try to find work. he
said the Hebrew Benevolent Society had given MIN
use, and now his only hope was that the society
would take pity on him and send him to the Jew

religious difference OF the Amish branch OF the
church from their Mennonist brethren Is
that both men and women wear hooks
and eyes on their clothes instead Of
buttons. Formerly some or the branches OF the
Church encouraged full boards, without the mus

years this feature has not been so marked, because

THE COOPER UNION.

Richard A. Pr0ctOr's Lecture on the
Stars.
Notwithstanding the unfavorable state OF the
weather the hall Of the Cooper Union was last
night crowded by intelligent audience to listen
to what Professor Proctor had to communicate on
the subject OF stars, their growth and develop
ment. 1t is not necessary to enter into details,
the lecture has already been reported in the
HERALD. 1t was repeated for the benefit OF the
general public under the auspices OF the Cooper
Union. The attempt to popularize the study Of as.

SO eminent IN the science world as Mr.. Proctor part
OF the free course, deserves commentator. 1t
would be difficult to select subject better fitted to
interest popular audience than the number

capable by their vastness ana multitude, OF i'm
pressing the mind with the grandest conceptions
OF the power and glory OF the Creator. This Is
the pervading idea OF Mr.. Proctor's lectures. He
does not seek to oppose the truths OF science to
the teachings OF religion. but rather to raise and
ennoble our ideas OF the vastness and majesty OF
Crcation-the handwOrk OF God.
