Franklin's German PAPER.

(F'rom the Philadelphia Bulletin.)
The credit for having published the
first German newspaper in this country
has usually been given to the famous
Christopher Saur of Germantown But it
now appears conclusiveiy that Saur must
yield precedence, as the earliest r the
newspaper printers in German, to Ben
jamin Franklin. That enterprising mas
ter of the art topographic in mis- day was
the first to put German newspaper to
press. The fact that Franklin was en-
gagged in such an undertaking is NOT
new, as ar advertisement in his Phi la
delphia paper, the Pennsylvania Gazette
announcing that he would publish the
Philadelphia Zeitung, or newspaper in
high Dutch. on Saturdays once fort
night, has long been familiar to stu
dents of "F'rankliniana" But no copy
of this paper was known to be extant
until the Rev Mr.. Stapleton of Car
Isle, Pa, not long ago discovered one
which had been lying among some old
deeds and which Mr.. julius F. Sachse
has caused to be placed in the care of
the Historical society of Pennsylvania.
The imprint is from Roman type ;the
sheet consists Of four small pages with
double columns, and the publication adj
dendum announces that it is published
by "B. Franklin in der Marckstrasse'

nor spoke German. but in his friend.
