BUSY PITTSBURGH.
The Iron Trade Never MOre Active
Than at Present.
Pittsburgh Correspondence Of the New York


Than at Present
Pittsburgh Correspondence Of the New York
Tribune.
Taking into account the stories Of
last winters strike among the iron
workers, the subsequent and still exist
ing troable with the coal miners, and
the general depression of business in
terests, It would not have been a mat
ter of surprise to have found the FORCES
of this city dark and silent, and the
listlessness of hard times apparent
among herpeOple. But exactly the con-
trary is the fact. Pittsburgh was
never more busy in making iron" than
at the present moment; theprice Of the
metal has advanced during the past
week, and orders to deliver it IN the
future at present prices are scorned.
The streets are lively with commere, and
though dark cloud hangs over the city,
it is the product of her furnaces and
the evidence Of her wonted activity.
Only along the levee on the MOnOga-
hela side, where at least two score
stern wheelers are triced up with their
heels against the bank, awaiting a rise
Of the river which shall give them op-
portunity TO tow coal barges down to
Cincinnati. st. Louis and New Orleans.
is there any evidence of stagnation.
During the suspension of the work the
ironmasters sold out their nanufac-
tured stock, and bought raw material
at low prices. To-day every one Of the
iron works in and around Pittsburgh,
except two that are hopelessly entan-
gled in bankruptcy, are vomiting black
smoke from their tall chimneys, busy
with new orders.

ALREADY the Republican wire
puIlers of Massachusetts, are talking of
available candidates to upset the Dem
ocratic administration of Gov. CASTOR,
but such is the popularity Of his course
that the prospects for success are thus
far quite slender. The names brought
forward are Tot at all familiar, and In
dicate negative material rather than
strength. Among them are W. W.
Rice, Of Worcester; Lieut.. GOV knight,
DR.. Loring and ex-Gov. Talbot. There
is also the terrible possibility that Ben
Butler may again attempt to caRture

THE EUROPEAN CROPS.
New York Rulletin.

1t would, perhaps, be prudent to re-
ceive with some allowance the late ca
bic reports relative to the condition of
the European crops. It is fact to be
noted, as suggesting commentary on
these reports, that they have been con-
fined entirely to unfavorable features,
and have made no allusion in any In
stance to the great improvement in the
crops of England and the Continent
that mail advices uniformly represent
as having set in about the beginning of
May and which has established almost
uniformly good prospects for the
harvest. Had the London grain
trade attached any importance
to the sort Of rumOrs that have
been cabled over to New York, we
should not have witnessed the dulness
and weakness In that market that have
lately prevailed.

Is THE WHISKY WAR TO BE CAR
RIED INTO KENTUCKY

This whisky war has been carried on
briskly in ST. Louis, Chicago, Cinein-
matt, and other places, but as yet the
cities of Kentucky have escaped entire
". Illicit distillng has long been no.
torlous in that State, and, like that
made in ireland, the whisky has been
considered all the better for having es-
capped the vigilance OF the tax gatherer.
Mr.. BristOw has justretuTned to Wash
ingtOn from a visit to Kentucky, where
he went to put the political house in
order. Perhaps he may have found
time while there TO turn his attention
to this subject and TO prepare for raid
on his native heath. If he did not, he
viii be apt to be reminded of the ex-
emption by watchful rivals who have
not yet consented that he shall be the

AT A convention of car.builders held
in Now York, last week, it was shown
that the proportion of foul air in the
ordinary Rilroad car is greater than
in q crowded church or theater. Much
discussion ensued, and it seemed gene
rally agreed on that none Of the man
fold devices for ventilation hitherto
used, will meet the case. Several
spoke hopefully Of the Tobin system,
now being applied to public halls in
England, which introduces fresh air
by means of pipes rising through the
floor and terminating above the heads
Of the auditory. The theory is that
air currents thus introduced are
thrown upward ike 50 many jets of
water, and are distributed without
draft or discomfort in a sort of at
mospheric spray.

THE newspapers mentioned a shot
time ago, marriage" without priest
or squire, between an Indiana bachelor
named Buell. and a Massachusetts
spinster named Gilbert, who bound
themselves To each other in a plain
written contrast provided our mutual
love-natures ever blend as now; but to
terminate without prejudice by the
wish of either party, if love shall ever
cease to be mutual" Plain folks
would hardly call this sort Of arrange
ment a marriage, and the Indiana
courts do not so regard it, Judging by
the action of Judge Buskirk, of In
dianapohs, who, in his charge to the
grand jury last Friday, instructed them
to indict the parties.

THE BIGGEST YACHT IN THE
New Ynrk Snn- .Irne

New YORK Sun, June 10.
Vice Commodore VIM. Il. Garner S
great schoOner-yacht Mohawk, the
largest yacht IN the world, was launch
ed yesterday from J. B. Van Deusen's
yard, Williamsburgh. The steamer
Pleasant Valley took up a large party
of yachtsmen and lady and gentlemen
friends Of Commodore Gamers to see
the launch.
About l:l5 P. NJ, the wOTkmen be-
gan to knock the blocks away, and at
lbs the pretty craft moved slowly of
toe ways amid the playing Of the band
aboard the Pleasant Valley, the shin, k
ing OF a half score Of steam whistles
from boats, and the cheers Of hundreds
Of spectators. As the tow touched the
water, Mrs. Garner broke a bottle of
champagne, deliberately decorated with
silk ribbons, over the bow, and said, Il
christen thee Mohawk" From knight
head TO taffrail the Mohawk is $50 feet
long. Her length on the water line is
l2l feet; beam 30 #. in; depth Of
hold 8 fit. t in. From the water to h-r
main truck is 40 feet, and from the
end of main boom to the end Of
flying lib boom, 235 feet. She will
carry over $4,000 square feet Of
canvas. Her main saloon is . feet
square, and in it viii be a fireplace,
book case, sideboard, etc, with furni-
ture and decorations Of the most costly
kind. On each sid Of the companion
way IS a stateroOm, and forward Of
the saloon on the port side are three
more. Forward Of the saloon on the
starboard side is Commodore Gamers
stateroOm, larger than the bridal room
of a Hudson river floating palace. 1t
measures 1Sxl3, and has bath room,
etc, attached. Forward of these rooms
ale the officers rooms, kitchen and
forecastle. Indeed, below the yacht
resembles an ocean steamer Of twenty
years ago. The deck is flush from
stem to stern, except the skylights and
a small cockpit. The Mohawk Will
carry a crew Of twelve.

BAVAGES OF THE SHALL POX IN
IRELAND

A plague Of smallpox of most malignant
type has been desolatiDg the town Of
Athenry, in Ireland, during the last month.
The greater number Of sufferers hitherto
have been young, from y years downward,
Several families have lost three children,
and in other houses as many as five have
been stricken, and their lives are yet in
jeopardy. The terror of the surrounding
district is a serious aggravation Of the mis-
cry Of the inhapitants. They have now for
many weeks been in a state of rigid quar-
afliine. Nobody that can possibly avoid it
will come near them. Those who must re-
sort to the railway station outside the walls,
approach it by all sorts Of circuitOus ways
rather than pass through the streets. Bust
ness is consequently az a deadlock; and
the attendance at the parish church has
dwindled down TO eight.

nnssioners Of the Northern States. A
large number of them, just how many
we do not know, have been Matched out
and are doing well. There are trout of
all sizes in the trOughs and tanks,
from little mites up to some that weigh
three pounds.

pense may not settle anything. a
Washington dispatch to the Chicago
Tribune says the Interior Department
is convinced that his subordinates, the
teamsters, miners and guides, will not
report to the Doctor any valuable dis
coveries they may make, but rather en-
deavor to lead him astray, unless they
are permitted to pre-empt whatever
valuable lands they may find. In other
words, the learned Professor, from his

completely at the mercy of the border
adventures on whose knowledge of the
