Ocean Steamships.

During the next three months, says the London
Telegraph of the 10Th ult. five magnificent pas
senger steamers of the largest size and of hitherto
power, will have been added to the
mercantile navy Of the Empress of the seas. Yes
terday the City of Rome, the latest born daughter
OF the lnman line, left the mouth of the Clyde on
her trial trip which, after it had lasted for six
hours, was to be succeeded by more extended
voyage, IN order to test the seagOing capabilities
and the behavior in the water of the first big yes
sci that turned out by the BarrOw-in
Furness hipbuidng Company. The City of Rome
upon the conclusion OF her six hour trip, was to
run last night down TO St Georges channel to the
southwest coast of Ireland returning thence to
Liverpool where she was expected to arrive upon
or about to morrow afternoon. TO day the Rome
and the Cyde-the last two additions to the noble
fleet OF the Penlnsular and Oriental Steam Naviga
ton Company-awalt the inspection in the Royal
Albert dock by visitors whom the directors have
invited to partake of luncheon on board the Rome
Not many days hence the Alaska will proceed to
Liverpool, whence she is advertised to sail for
New fork-lt being her first trip-on the 22d of
October The Alaska promises to be the brightest
ornament Of the Gunion line, and is the bigger sis
ter OF the Arizona, which is already regarded by
many one Of the best and swiftest steamers that
ever went to sea On the LIST of last March the
leviathan of The famous Cunard line by name the
Servia, was launched at Clydebank, close to Gas-
gov, from the ship building yard of Messrs }. d
u. Thomson. who, at the commencement ct this
wear, were engaged i'll building for the Cunard
company not less than 100000 tons Of shipping
1t was intended that the Serva should have sailed
upon her first voyage from Liverpool to New York
on the 18th of August but an accident to her shaft
has made it necessary for her to be sent back
to the Clyde, and her first transatlantic trip will
not take place before November. She will thus be
preceded across the Atlantic by her two superb
rivals, the City OF Rome and Alaska: and when
next Christmas day arrives the Cunard, the Inman
and the Gunion lines will be represented upon the
Atlantic by three splendid vessels. By the end of
December the City of Rome, the Alaska and the
Seryia will all have been tested at sea

The development of the Clyde shipbulding

Katahd1n Iron Works.

There are several large deposits of iron
ore in Maine, three or more Of which have
been worked. The katahdin works alone
have been found profitable. The ore is
rich bog ore, and exists in immense
quantity.
The charcoal is produced on or near the
premises in large round-topped brick
kilns, holding from forty to fifty cords of
wood, each. Fourteen thousand cords Of
wood are used, annually, for charcoal be-
sides one thousand cords for the roasting
kiln and other purposes.
The fire is kept burning in the furnace
continually through the year, and every
four hours in the twenty four, the molten
iron is drawn out and run into pigs.
The quantity produced averages one
hundred tons per week. and sells in New
York, and other places. at the present
time, for thirty-eight to forty-two dollars
per ton.
The iron now produced is chiefly used
for car wheels. 1t possesses a quality for
hardening at the surface, While it remains
softer and very tough within. This makes
it especially desirable for car wheels and
for other purposes where both strength
| and great degree of surface hardness are
required.
Benjamin Scott, Chamberlain of Lon
don, and author of several important
antiquarian works, writes to the Times
suggesting practical method of giving
enduring proof of English good will to-

exceedingly enrich the Americans. There
is in the Bishop of London's library at
fulham, manuscript in the handwriting

arose the federation how termed the l.

Golden Wedding.

To the Editor of the Globe:
NEWPORT, Dec. 23.--The. fiftieth anniver
sary of couples married life is a rare occur
renee, and but few have the happy pleasure
of enjoying their hiends society on such an
occasion.
At Mr. and Mrs David Shellenbarger's resi-
dence in this tow n last evening, a gathering
of their friends, to the number of some forty
or fifty, assembled and gave the old people a
very complete and happy surprise, by taking
supreme command of their dwelling.
While at tea with Mrs. Maxsons, and when
all was arranged, Mr.. VIM. Moore was dis
patched to escort them to spend the evening
with his little family at their home, on enter
ing which their appearance aud remarks gave
strong evidence that they had been
outwitted, and quietly resigned to the fate
which had overtaken them.
After refreshments of very fine quality and
quantity had been passed, Mr.. VIM. Moore
stepped in front of the seated happy couple,
and IN a very happy and neat little speech.
presented them with purse well filled with
gold coin, which was well and appropriately
responded to by the recipients. Thus the first
golden wedding in this town passed off quite
pleasantly to all present and interested, at
Newport, December 23.

"a Faal,s Errando

If a play is to be judged by the amount O
apparent amusement it affords the audience
the performance OF ga Fools Errand," by
the Steele Mackaye combination, at the Opera
House, last night, was success. 1t is ques-
tionable, however, as to whether
this criterion should be applied to a
production that aims to soar beyond the mere
level of medocrity. The true mission of the
drama is supposed to consist of something
more than a satisfied effort to please. But this
subject is trite and opens the vista
to endless theory and conjecture.
Mr.Mackaye supplied the fine element in the
character of Dennis Mccarthy, and Mr.. Rob-
ertson played 10 good advantage the high
strung and impetuous Soufherner as represent
ed in the character Of Melville Carney. Mr.
81. Archer made the, Ku Klux character
Of Bill Sanders as repulsive as even
the gallery delties could desire, and the parts
taken by Miss Archer, Miss Mar and Miss Lou
liza Sylvester were impersonated to the best
advantage all around. In short, the thing is
superior to the merits of the work. The same
programme will be presented this evening, and
1T the matinee.

eight years since he had been connected with
the retreat. Witness had made four examina-
tions of the prisoner at the Jail, directed to
his physical and mental condition.
Guiteau interrupted, saying: "You came
to me doctor, as friend, and supposing you
were going to testify for the defense,
talked very freely with you
about my religious feeling and all about
myself, but COrkhill's money was too much

there is to it. don't care what these experts
say aboutmy sanity now. That's got moth

Witness detailed at great length the results

teau. Pending cross-examination the court
adjourned until tomorrow.
