Michigan Bishop Charged With Sc
ductiOn, Etc,


CHICAGo, April 17.-Accounts are
published Of alleged improper conduct
of the Episcopal Bishop, Allan Nc
Coskrey, Of Michigan. The substance
of the story is that Tor a long time he
has cohabited with a young girl whom
he has educated and supported and
whom he recently married to a young
man of Detroit. named Bannister, who
discovered the guilt of McCoskrey,
and indirectly through him the matter
has reached the public. The proof of
the story lies in a number of amorons
and broadly suggestive letters written
by McCoskrey to the girl Fanny
Richards; iu his sudden resignation to
the committee Of the diocese; in the
confused denial which he made to the
committee in his acknowledgement Of
unusual intimacy with the girl; in his
Identification Of some of the letters;
and in his sudden departure for Eu-
rope. and In the reticence of the dig
nitaries of the Episcopal Church, who
although they do not affirm the story,
refuse to deny it. On the other hand,
the stories are so little authenticated
that they cannot be said to be more
than rumors at present. Bishop Ne
Coskrey denies the whole story, de-
clares be resigned on account of ILL
health and old age and points to life
of rectitude for "A years as his vindi-

urged, in explanation of the letters

CHEERFUL WoMEN.-In marrying,
men should seek happy women. They
make a terrible mistake when they
marry for beauty, or for talent, or for
style. The sweetest wives are those
who possess the magic secret of being
happy under any and every circum-
stance. Rich or poor, high or low, it
makes 10 difference, the bright little
fountain bubbles up just as musically
in their hearts. Nothing ever goes
wrong with them trouble is too Sc
rious for them Ito make the best of it,"
Was ever the stream of calamity SO
dark and deep that the sunlight of
happy face falling across its turbid tides
would not wake up an answering
gleam? Joyous tempered people don't
know half the good they do. Nomatter
how cross and grabbed you feel-no
matter if your brain is full of medita-
tion or afflicted dispeusation," and
your stomach is filled with medicines.
pills and tonics-just set one of these
cherry little women talking to you, she
can cure you. The long drawn line
about the mouth will relax, the cloud
of settled gloom will vanish, nobody
knows where, and the first thing YOU
know You will be laughing. Ah what
blessings are these happy women How
often their little hands guide the pom
derous machine of life with almost an
invisible touch! How we look forward
through the weary day of their fireside
smiles! No one knOws-no one ever
will know till the day for Judgment re-
veals-hOw much we owe to those help
full, hopeful, accomplishing, happy wo-
men.

THE HABITS OF A TAME CooN.-At
Druid Hill Park, Baltimore, they have
q tame coon. A writer In the Baltimore
Sun says:
"It was captured when very young
and raised by the ladies of the family,
with whom it became great pet, hav-
ing the freedom of the entire house and
amusing every one by its playfulness
and intelligence. With its slim, hand
like front paws it performs variety of
cute tricks, slyly taking the hair pins
out of the ladies' heads and going
through their pockets in search of candy,
of which it is decidedly fond. The most
remarkable thing about "coony," how
ever, is the habit of washing, to which
its scientific name PrOcyOn Lotor, re-
fers. 1t invariably washed its food, of
whatever description, before eating. In
its wild state it will take it sometimes
quite distance to wash in running
stream, but when tanned is content with
la basin of water at meal-time. This
propensity to wash, however, is not con.
fined to eatables, as on one occasion, be

LA RGEST WORKSHOP IN THE
WORLD.-In the establishment of
Krupp, Of Essen, Germany, the manu-
facture of cast-steel and refined steel
alone employs two hundred and ninety
eight steam engines, seventy-seven
large steam hammers, and eight thous-
and i've hundred men. This famous
workshop turns out daily ten miles of
rails, with the corresponding amount of
wheels, springs, axles, and all the COM
plete steel work for railroad carriages
This is Krupp's main contribution to
the art of peace. What he does for the
art of war is shown by the fact that he
completes three hundred large cannon
every mouth and since 1874 he has
turned ont over fifteen thousand can
non. The establishment is lighted up
every night with twenty. one thousand
gas burners. It's different parts are con-
nected by thirty seven miles of railway,
employing twenty four locomotives and
seven hundred cars; while the various
offices are connected by forty-four tele-
graph stations. In the mineral works
and coal mines outside, belonging to the
firm, they employ five thousand three
hundred persons as wOrkmen. They
have built three thousand two hundred
and seventy-seven dwelling houses,
which are occupied by the workmen
and their families, who number sixteen
thousand two hundred persons and
form small town, with twenty-five
stores for groceries, meats, clothes, shoes,
furniture. and similar daily needs
Messrs- Krupp have provided for the
education of the children of their
wOrkmen four primary schools divided
into twenty-One classes, an industrial
school for girls, and school for adult
women-all attended by thousands of
learners, and provided with the best
kind of teachers, who, according to the
German system, teach the things to be
understood, and not merely lessons
