French and German Women.

The rivalry between the German and
Latin races having been recently settled
in the battlefield in favor of the former,
the French are seeking poor revenge
by eXultiDg over their undeniable pre-
emnence IN the millner's shop. Some
German papers, having urged German
ladies not to get their dresses from Par
is. the Voltaire INDUCES in the following
elegant raillery "What is wanting in
Germans, and especially In German
women, is the champagne froth which
bubbles up in every French mind, en-
livening beauty and changing dress into
apoem. Froth of beer is thick and heavy,
and for this reason Berlin ladies will
continue to get their costumes from
Paris. But q German woman may spend
her whole afternoon at the establish
ment of dressmaker, and run about
like a movable doll before her judge
she will never be anything more than -
German with the elegance of heavy
beer"
The Neue Freie Presse, losing patience
Mt this criticism, wonders what purpose
is gained by making the French believe
that Germany is filled with clumsy,
spiritless, notwithstanding mon
sters Nobody denies that the Paris
lady is more elegant than the Berlin
lady. But to repeat this about hun
dred times q day, and thus to make the
fate of a nation depend on elegant fig
ure, is absurd. To pretend the happi-
ness of France depends on the small foot
of Paris lady, is turning things topsy-
turyy; but reasonable Frenchmen will
therefore not cease to look with respect
up to their neighbors. 2"
How absurd seems to Englishman
this German sensitiveness to the raillery
of the French man-milliner. If Ger
mans were as pachydermatous rs En-
glish, how incalculable would be the
increase of the happiness of the Father
land Pail Mall Gazette.

Gus thinker and an able preacher, will

A Shocking Story OF Ignorance and Deprav
Ity In Hlillcreek Township.

Womelsdort Dispatch to the Times.
On the northern slope of South Noun
tain, in Millcreek township, Lebanon
county, lives family, among whom is a
girl resembling wild woman and who is
kept more like best than human
being. The family consists of but
three persons, the father, son and the
girl in question. They occupy an old log
hut, which is nearly ready to tumble
down. The girls mother died when she
was child and the poor creature has had
no one to train her. Her mind has always
been weak and she was neglected entirely
in every way. She has not been inside OF
a school room in all her life ; she cannot
read or write. She is very shy of strang.
ers. When she sees person approaching
her she disappears in the bushes
and rocks on the mountain. In the spring,
il is said, her father compels her to 90
out on the hill with flock of turkeys,
which she has SO trained that they follow
her through the thickets and woods from
morning until night. Kind neighbOrs
have several times attempted to catch the
girl when she was out with the turkeys
aud care for her, but all to no purpose.
She runs at the sight of person and dis
appears, with tho fowls at her heels.
Wheat bread, the neighbors say, is un-
known to the creature /; that her principal
diet was corn-dodgers and sort Of paste
made of dried rye -four. Her father gen.
orally acts in the capacity of cook and
baker. Her dress consists of old rags,
which are tied about her body.
Some time ago one of the neighbors
took compassion on her and made new
calico dress. which was probably the only
one the girl has worn for several years.
Headware and shoes are unknown to her
in her rambles through the rough woods
and mountains. She has long auburn
hair, which she wears hanging down
over her shoulders. The household
affairs of this wretched family are said to
be very primitive, there being but one bed
10 the house. Stories of a most outrageous
character have been circulated about this
family. 1t is stated by good authority that
number of citizens will call the attention
of tho proper officials to this family and
have the matter remedied.

MULDOON's PlONlU."


hy - rank N0W0A'O COmeOy company.
Last evening "Yank" Newell's spe-
cialty company appeared in the opera
house to an audience, which was worth
over 5000, of good size considering that
the weather is very warm and the season
is drawing to a close. The company con-
sists of but eleven people and some parts
of their performance was quite enjoyable.
The entertainment opened with little
sketch entitled "The Mystic Mode" Miss
Clara Franklin, a clever serio.comic with
a good voice, sang q number of pieces in.
Guiding Joe Emmett's Cuckoo Song"
The performance of Billy Mack and Edith
Valentine was only fair John w. Morton
was seen in little of the George Wilson
style of negro business and was good.
Mr.. Morton is q member of the famous
Big Four" strong team of comedians,
who had company on the road this year.
Their season closed few weeks ago, and
Mr. Morton, as we'll as Mr.. ShoPhard, the
manager, joined this "snap for the re-
mainder of the season. The entertainment
closed with the very cleverly written
piece entitled ''Muldoon's Picnic" which,
however, has been done to death the past
two seasons. Thomas Murray and Billy
Mack impersonated Muldoon and Mulcahey
and the latter was the better Irish come
dian, although neither was great. Other
features were the introduction of the
trained donkey Jerry" and the singing
of Misses Valentine and Franklin. The
company shows tho effects of wear and it
is said to have been changed very often
since Newell started from St. Louis with
it. Newell is we'll known as an agent.
Two years ago he was here ahead of the
Sells Brothers circus, and conducted a
bitter war against Batcheller & Doris. He
had a number Of the latter's billposters
arrested for covering up Sells Brothers
paper. He was alsu manager of the May
Fisk Blondes for some time.
