PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH. I'll Itlklfrt ICapldly Uolny Out of I'm and Knclili Taklne It4 Vlwr. In twonty-flve or thirty yuara, if not br-f'iru, tlie Pennsylvania Dutch diali;ct will bo to all intents and ptirpofou a dead language. There have buen very great clianpos during the last ten or fif teen years and the rapidity with which they are taking place in bt'inff acceler ated every year. This is notict-ablo in the churches, in the newspapers, in the language of business, in intercourse with the people, and in the increased facility with which one who does not under stand the dialect can make himself un derstood w herever he goes. When the Presbyterian Church was founded in Keadinp, Pa., about half a century ago. it was done chiefly because there were a few people who wanted to have English preaching, and the only way to have it vaa to found a new church. Now there are only three or four out of forty churches where the services are con dubti d in the German language. A score of years ago there was a spl It in the Trinity Lutheran church, the largest in Reading, because some of the members wanted one service each week In KngliaU. Now for a 'Jong time past kll tho services of that church have been in English. In the country all the young people who come up for "confirmation" have been taught the catechism in En glish, and where they have not already been granted it they are clamoring for English services in the churches, and all the old-style preachers who have been accustomed to delivering German sermons all of their lives find that they mustbegin to yield a little to the new demands or sacrifice their usefulness and popularity. Every parent who is ambitious for his children desires that they shall learn to speak English, every young man and woman feels that to do so is a much desired accomplishment, and there are few of the younger gener ation who are net able to understand and carry on conversation in the lan guage of the country, though in theii homes and in thoir ordinary business they may use the Pennsylvania Dutch. Nearly all of tho last generation were taught to read, and many of them tc write, Gorman in tho schools which wert attached to the churches. Since the es tablishment of the common-school sys tem these have gradually died out, and there is probably not one of them left, The early newspapers of the countrj were all German, and there are still quite a number of them published, but they seem destined to die out in a com paratively short time for want of sub scribers who will be able to read them. The proprietors of the Adler, oue of the pioneer newspapers of Pennsylvania, which was founded over a ceutury ago, have recognized the direction in which things are tending by issuing an English paper to take tho place of the German edition. The same precaution lias bees taken by the owimr of the Kutztown Journal, an old and influential German paper. The time of the war, and for a few years thereafter, the Adler was still great power in politics, and what it said was widely quoted and commented upon, but for the last fifteen years it hat scarcely been heard of, even in tho most exciting political campaigns, and no out who wishes to address tho public on an v political subject thinks of doing sc through the journal that for nearly century was one of the great Democratic organs of Pennsylvania, and was known far and wide hb the Berks County Bible. This is not because the Adler is nc longer a good newspaper, but because il is printed in a language which is being w .

Here in Reading the language of tht atreet, of the store, and of all public places is English, and Pennsylvania Dutch is seldom heard except in some o) the outer wards. It is still, of course, desirable that a clerk or a conductor ol a great retail s .ore should be able tc talk Pennsylvania Dutch, but it is nc longer absolutely necessary, and it il becoming less so every year. Out in the boroughs and larger villages more and more English is being constantly heard, the English newspaper is everywhere Been, and in every possible direction the old language is losing its hold and English is being substituted. Cor. Ft tional Tribune. THE GRIMALDI FAMILY. One of the Oldmit and Klcheat of Enron1. Princely Ilouara. The Grimaldi family, from which the rulers over Monaco have sprung, is ar dent and distinguished- Several foolisx statements are current about the origin of the Grimaldis. The authority for these fables is Charles do Venasque, secretary to Honore II., the first ruler who as sumed the title of Prince of Monaco after it had been ascribed to him, proba bly through error, in tho official report of the French General who, in lHrt, re captured the Let-ins Islands. Charles de Venasquo drew up a podigreo of the family to which his master belonged, and he may have thought that Honore II. would be gratified by being assured that ho had a distinguished ancestor liv ing in TU, and another who was Lord ol Monaco in the tenth century. These particulars have been printed, and have been reproduced as authentic. Indeed, a genealogical fiction has a tenacious life. A lonjr and illustrious pedigree i a possession which once acquired is no; easily renounced, every member of .t!i. family to which it relates having a per sonal interest and natural pride incher ishing.it. Thus, when M. Henri Meti vier who was tuto?. wo believe, to lb lato Prince of Monaco wrote tho large and ablo work on "Monaco and it Princes," which appeared in 1865, he in corporated into It the family fables which Charles de Venasque fabricated or copied in KJ47. The facts relating to the origin of the Grimaldis and to thoir careers as sovereign Princes of Monaco do not requlro any coloring or varnish either to attract the studont of history or to fascinate the reader who likes to be divot-tod or thrilled. There is nw lack of amusing particulars in the his tory of Monaco; soni of tho incidents in It are as tragic, as any with which Shakes peare has dealt. Quarterly Rovio-v. The Lord Mayor of London. The Lord Mayor receives from the city of London for Ids year of office 850,000, and on an average spends 40,000 to $50, 000 in excess of allowance. i He has no other provision except the use of the Mansion House and its furniture. Wine stands as one of the chief items of ex penditure. In the basement of th Mansion ifouso there are quite as many cellars as there are aldermen who have not passed the chair, and it bus been the practice of aldermen to lay in a stock of wine long before their mayorality. This was done to a much greater extent some years ago, when it was more the fashion to drink port wiun. Then an alderman would place in the cellar allotted to himsolt pipes of port sometimes years before it would be put on the tables of the Egyptian hall. The wine not con sumed is usually sold or romovod by the outgoing Lord Mayor. There is no rea son to doubt that Mr. Whitehead's may orality has cost JIOO.OOO.-- INTEREST.

A correspondent of the New York Tribune writes: " "No wooden craft of any account disgraces this enlightened age in carrying human beings across the ocean. Steel vessels have super seded the old-style fleets of wood," Mrs. Elizabeth Faith, who died recently at Louisville,' had her 'coITm made under her own personal direc tion more than three years ago. It was made of solid walnut lined with zinc, and trimmed with whito eilk. It was inclosed in a strong cedar book, and this in still another, box. made pf thick' onk lumber. ' ' " i'- - The Baltimore Baptist strongly condemns the praclica ot. extending sympathy and friendly "aid", to men whoso sole claim to such attention is bated upon the commission of some terrible crime. "Such things,".!., it says, "are a blot upon our civiliza tion, and it is time good people frowned this maudlin sympathy out of existence. , , The Religious Herald, of Hart ford, thinks the custom of darkening the rooms of a house where people are gathered to attend borial service ought to be abolished. The surround ings at such a time, it thinks, ought to be bright and cheerful, "in harmony with the sentiments suggestive of the resurrection, the life and the blessed ness of the heavenly home to which the departed have gone." The rapid growth of Italian bar ber shops in New York City is alarm ing the old-time barbers. The Italian five-cent shaving shops are-now to be found not only in "Little Italy" and other quarters in which swarms of Italians have taken up their abode, but also in other localities up town, down town and on both sides of the city. For many years a great part of the trade has been in the hands of German philosophers, who now find it hard to compete with the Italians, even when they charge a dime for using the lather brush and razor. There have been big gold nuggets found ia various countries, but the largest that was ever discovered, the Silver Dollar states, was found in New South Wales, Australia. It was un earthed on May 10. 1872. Its weight was (J10 pounds, height four feet nine inches, width throe feet two inches, average thickness four inches, and it wjis worth $118. It was found im bedded in a thick wall of blue slate at a depth of 250 feet from the surface. An interesting feature of its history was that the owners of the mine wore living on charity when they found it. A man at Covington, Pa., who wus fattening a twenty-pound snapping turtle, was aroused early by the noise of a scuffle in his yard. Repairing there he found the turtle hanging to the nose of a 300-pound bear. Bruin was near the fence, en deavoring to get over, but his efforts were interfered with by tho turtle. Eventually the bear reached the next yard, but the man followed and shot him dead. The turtle all tho time re tained his hold, and refused to lot go until the dead beast's nose was cutoff. Then it crawled off, carrying the piece of flesh in its mouth. Dr. Julius Weissnor has made the discovery that linon rags were used In the manufacture of paper as early as the eighth century. And at that early day tho paper was "clayed" like the modern article.

"Laura," said the young man, as he crushed the young life out of a winged insect whose attentions had bored him considerably, "I saw a statement in a paper to-day that if you hold your breath when a mosquito is biting you It can't draw its bill out. and vou can kill him in the act." "Horrors!" exclaimed the gentle girl, as she shuddered and drew her fleecy wrap closer about her love ly form. "The idea. George, of letting a mosquito sting you long enough to find out such a thing! I couid never endure It!" "And tilut reminds me." continued George, as he mado a wild jab at the back of his nock and closed the earth ly career of one more confiding insect, "of another sttitt?tnotit I saw in the same paper that people always hold theii' breath when thoy er when they kiss." A silence followed more eloquent than tho softly spokon words of the young man. It wus broken at last by the voice of tho lovely Laura. "George," she said, in low, quickly uttered, willing-to-t,!st-it-in-tho-inter-est-of -science accents, "I feel a mos qu'to biting nie!" Tho wind sighed faintly in the tree tops, the voice of tho katydid rasped the patient air, tho stars glimmered and twinkled in the blue, ethereal firmament, and at the end of nearly three-quarters of a minute that mis guided mosquito perished miserably.
