United States consul at Crefeld, Germany, in a torivate letter. gives an interesting description, of the steel wotks at er$ JKrupp whose colossal esta.blteb.ment of IJstsen, he has recently visited. The average number of men employed is 18,542, representing a pupuiauon oi more man 1 su.uou per sons dependent upon the industry con trolled by a single man. Mr. Potter was particularly impressed by the per fect system, order and quiet which pre vailed at the works, and does not re member having heard a single loud word spoken among the thousands of workmen as he passed through ti,e vast buildings, covering 0$) acres. $err Krupp, wn, thirty yars ago, was a poor man, provides, everything for the great community of which he ig the centre homes f oral!, schoplschujches, preachers, supply-$tQrev . . bakeries, slaughter-houses, butchers, 1 doctors, bathing establishments, life insurance and fire coi&panies, pension institu tions, hospitals, undertakers -and funerals, and all works smoothly and well. In reply to a question concern ing the vast responsibility, anxiety, care and difficulties in managing such a complex and extensive establishment, he said he had little anxiety and, no difficulty in managing his increasing business His pare and responsibility were chiefly exercised in the selection of men for positions of management He had no friendship for "bosses" who were not exaotly fitted for the positions they were engaged to fill, and no mercy for those found negligent or inefficient. To his caution, in the selection of managers., he attributed the chief sue-, cess of his life. A Quiet Desperado.

Prof. Taaar ShamlfiSa said vMUnloi; that the observations on the comet were sun industriously kept up every clear night at the Haverford College Observatory. The split, however, has not been detected, and the most note worthy feature recorded is that the vast body has become very stable in character. If a division has actually taken place it is as yet, he thinks, very narrow, and the parts are separating by no means so rapidly as in the case of Biehle's comet, which in 1846 became the only example of a dividing comet on record. The professor said he had not beard of the split being seen any where except at Cincinnati He has no doubt that the comet is a new ope, though its orbit has a close resemblance to that of the comet of 1507, but he be lieves that this resemblance is accideni tal, though it might be due to a former connection of the two bodies. It is now receding from thp earth with great ra pid it v. but whether it will rt urn 7ir Ki- in the life of any of its present observ ers is a question to wnjchjio answer, can be furnished until computation of its orbit than has yet been attempted ia made. The nucleus unauestionablv consists nf solid matter either one mass or a collection of small solid bodies. The tail and atmos phere are gaseous and the spectroscope makes the important revelation that one constituent is carbon. The fact that photographs have been taken proves the existence of chemieal rays in the light which it emits. At first the observation of the comet was fascina ting from the ranid and nntiAwnrf.bv changes which appeared in the vapor ous masses, arouna tne head, stream ers consisting of three or five rays would suddenly troiftr.t and ' -within short spaces of time undergo marvelous the comet passed further away from ! the SUn Changes of this diwHnt.inn h- came less conspicuous and it now pre sents a rauier uninteresting appearance of uniformity, as a simple mass of haze with a brighter condensation nar nn edge. - MORPHIA CLAIMS A VICTIM.

Some years ago George Munroe left the shores of England to seek his for tune in this country. He left behind him a charming young girl, the idol of his heart, whose affections he had pos sessed, since childhood. Circumstances prevented feheir union in England, and George came to this country to prepare a home for his bride. He came to Pat terson and soon succeeded in obtaining employment. Ho was" a young man of steady and industrious habits, and in a short time .accumulated enough of this world's goods to make a comfortable home for his intended and, to start life with very prospeot ot happiness. He was 24. years of age, enjoyed good health, a good reputation and a moder ate income. Nothing stood between him and happiness. He accordingly sent for his iieloved, and she arrived a few days ago. George boarded ia Mill street, and after welcoming his bride to the country of his adoption left her with some relatives in Jersey City. The wedding day was fixed for- last Wednesday, and on that day a pleasant party gathered and witnessed tne cere mony, which to all appeared the open ing of a prospeyous career. The even ing was, spent in music and dancing and the amusements customary upon wedding days. The invited guests left, with many good wishes for the welfare of the newly made husband and wife. In the morning the house of rejoicing and merriment was changed to one of sadness and bereavement. George had retired in hisusual good spirits, but in the morning he was taken with an at tack of heart disease and expired in the arms of his bride. . - A Carious Lovo Story. There abides in the mind of woman an overwhelming sense of the impor tance of having a ample trousseau. Witness the case of a young woman in Dortmund, Germany, a short time since, fho was arrested for stealing a ffold watch and chain from her affianced over, who, on discovering his loss, had placed the matter in the hands of the police, without the faintest notion as to who was the thief. The maiden, with many tears, confessed that she had taken the watch, so that by pawn ing it she might raise money enough to buy her wedding dress which she could tetin no other way. Thereupon the espdiled. ' hut , magnanimous bride groom spoke out in court declaring that nhe prisoner was his only love; and that he would marry her out of hand if the Judge would consent to set her at Mbe-ty." Without delay the tribunal annulled the arraignment, and the generous lover earned oft his liberated, larcenist in triumph. , Java Bad Fix. Greensboro (Ga.)
