Frau Muehling’s 100th Birthday.

At the Schiller Theater in Berlin a performance of the “Damen Kreig,” Scribe’s “Bataille de Dames,” was given recently in honor of the 100th birthday of the translator, Frau Muchling. She was once an actress, and wife of a theatrical manager; she brought out Myerbeer’s “Les Huguenots” for the first time in Herman, and introduced Mallbran and Henrietta Sonntag to Germany. The old lady had intended to be present at the performance, but overtaxed herself‘during the day, and was represented by fifty of her descendants, including her great-great-grandchildren.
