fren@us," the senior editor of the New

well-authenticated case ofmeanpess meaner
than one he gave, where a minister's wife
was invited to visit week ar,onp the neo.

The responses to his offer have been SO mn.
merous as to overwhelm him, and in lis
despair he gives them to the larger jury OF
the Observer readers for decision. One
case is of q Woodworking missionary, who.
on s400 salary, just managed to keep his
family alive. He had garden twepty-fiv
feet square in front of his house. When
the secretary of the society that supported
him called ON him, he asked what was the
value of the garden patch-s25 "No.D

had been deducted from it. Another in
stance was OF a "donation party given
to a minister. All the gifts were marked
with such price as the givers chose to nut
on them, and the sum total of these
amounts was deducted from the pastors
salary: Among the rest was little pack
age OF black pepper, marked two cents |
AT another similar "donation party, two |
fans were sent in, valued at five cents each. |
and this amount was deducted from the |
minister's salary.

Krupp's great iron works at Essen. Ger
many, cover nearly eight square miles, and
one and q half miles are under cever. Thew
furnish employment for ten thousand men,
who do their work under o discipline as
strict as that of the military service. Cast
ings weighing forty tons have been made
several times in these works, and ten and
twelve. ton blocks are every day sights.
There are forty nine hammers in the works,
of which four or five are twenty Ave tons.
three or four fifteen tons. and large num-
Der I've and ten tons. The greatest of all
tte hammers is wonder, and cost Eve
hundred thousand dollars. It's foundations
are one hundred feet deep, constructed of
three tiers-the first constructed of solid
masonry, the second of the heaviest and
stoutest oaks to be found in all Germany,
and the third of cylindrical segments Of
cast iron, upon which an anvil block rests.
The head of the hammer weighs fifty tons.
Its face is of steel, and in making it, after
the steel had been cast, and while it was
molten, cast iron was poured into It from
the back. Every thing that belongs to it,
and to the engine that operates it, is in du-
plicate and triplicate. Four steam cranes
serve it, and these are each tested to bear
two hundred tons, and are intended to bear
at least forty inRots, which are the |
largest cast. In 1866 sixty-one thousand |
tons OF steel were turned out of these |
works.

Cleanliness. The work had been SO skill
fully executed that the insurgents, during
their two months occupation Of the palace,
must have passed before it a thousand
times without suspecting that this treasure
timated at $4,000, 900 francs, was so near
them. The credit of this success is due to
Count Clement de Ris, Conservator, and to
the employees of the museum, who were
several times on the point of being shot
for refusing to disclose the place Of con-
cealment.

| T. w. AS A MANAGER.-I listened to n
good one on Thurlow Weed, says New

much system in keeping his accounts land
his money as Micawber. He was a little

good sense which suggested to him the pro-
priety Of placing any specific sum of money

Republicans in Albany, and $4,000 for the
Erening Journal. For safe keeping he
gave the Albany central committee end, 600
partner (Mr. Sinclair, t believe) to place
the secret $4,000 to be used against bis
old friend Fillmore, to his, Sinclair's credit
IN bank, which could be drawn as desired.
He did SO. One fine morning Sinclair |
dropped n dead from heart disease. The

low Weed sought the ear of the bank Of
ficers. They could do nothing. The
executors of the estate found the $40. COO
to Mr.. Sinclair's credit. They could not

lands of his fascinating widow. Not

'rable ex-President from Buffalo, and the
harming widow ofMr. Weeds partner were
ttached BY that mysterious influence pre-
