All our American shipyards are unusually
busy. but in the account of their operations
which we PRINT elsewhere the reader will look
in vain for description of any vessels pro-
jected or on the stocks designed for the trans
atlantic trade. Our lake, river and seacoast
commerce is constantly increasing and re-
quires more ships and larger ships to
carry it, but the still greater increase of
our foreign commerce goes to swell the profits
of foreign shipowners. Nearly all the foreign
lines running to our Atlantic ports have new
steamers in process of construction in the
British yards, but, with the exception of two
vessels destined to run to South America, no
craft is being built in an American yard which
is ever likely to get further away frer home
than Havana or Vera Cruz. The description
of the many mammoth steamships now con-
structing abroad to carry American products
to market is in itself an eloquent reproach to
the let-alone policy which permits other nations
to monopolize our ocean carrying trade.

OF Mr.. Parnell as pertinacious person, per-
sistently Obstructing the wheels OF British
Parliamentary Government, the world has
heard a great deal more than it cares to hear.
1t is a relief to read now, as we do in our
London letter, of Mr.. Parnell as q mysterious
pilgrim, fitting about Europe, consorting one
day with Red Republicans in Paris and the
next with Hebrew bankers in Frankfort with
opinion in London divided as to whether he Is
seeking safe deposit tor the funds OF tne
Land Leaeue or running away from the heavy
hand of British law. Really, there are posi-
bilities of fresh interest in this plucky Irish
reformer of which the world has not dreamed.
Nor has he played all his parts yet de Is
supposed to be holding in reserve a scheme
for a dual Government for Great Britain ana
Ireland, on the plan of the Austro- Hungarian
monarchy, which will make fresh topic ior
the papers, if nothing more.
The nroduction of iron In the United States
ia q nrettv good indication of the condition OF
the couutry's general business. During 1881
according to the figures just made up oy tne
American Iron and Steel Association the
total output of pig iron was 4.2o5,2l4 IONS,
against 3,07O.S75 tons in 1879, an increase Oh
1,224,539 net tons. Each State where
iron is made, except West Virginia, increased
its product; and the area of iron producing
territory was extended so as to include Min
nesota and Colorado. Iron is now made In
twenty three States, and California and Wash
ington Territory are about ready to be added
to the list. This great National industry,
which is the foundation of so many other in
dustres, was never before upon so solid and
secure q basis. There have been times when
the ironmasters made money faster, but their
business was then in fcverish. over-stimu-
lated condition. Now it is both healthful
and profitable.

The. representation of the charming
little operetta, BO-Peep, by the children
of St. Andrews church, on Friday even
ing, was witnessed by an audience OF
over two hundred, and gave general
satisfaction. The characters of Mis-
tress Mary, Ladye Lea and NetticOtte
were sustained by Mrs. Patterson, Mrs.
Ide and Mrs. Fleetwood, respectively.
Anna Spencer did splendidly as BO-
Peep and deserved all the appreciation
which the audience bestowed. She en-
tered into the spirit of the character
and seemed perfectly at home in it.
Fred Fleetwood persOnated Boy Blue,
and did it well, too. He and BO-Peep,
in the duett after the finding of the lost
ring, received a hearty encore. Dana
Morse acted well as Tatfy; and May
Gordon was firstrate as Gill, as re-
CARDS both voice and action. The cho-
ruses were prettily done, especially the
final chorus about the May pole, which
was repeated in response to an encore

ence heartily enjoyed the presentation

thirty dollars.

ET CETERA.

The fair was a decided success, and
the management can congratulate
themselves on the smoothness with
which everything passed off.
Bingham's telephone Office was de-
cided convenience, and might as well
be counted among the permanent fea-
lures of the fair.
Harvey's "Go West" stand afforded
any amount of information about the
Western country, and exhibited some
thing in the way of Western products.
There was the usual collection of
side shows and other attractions for
the hundreds of people whose happi-
ness at fair seems to depend on the
variety of entertainment taken III.
A great many people gave the fair
precedence over the state fair, as re-
CARDS the show of stock and in other
respects.
Prominent in the exhibition of
horses the second day was the show
made by b. F. Haviland of Danville.
First was his noble Hambletonian
stallion, the ''Duke Alexis" beauti-
full bay, standing considerably over ID
hands, and weighing 1900 lbs. He was
bred in Orange county \. Y, but has
been in Mr.. Haviland's hands since he
was two years old. In driving horses
Mr. Haviland exhibited a fine black
five years old, perfectly broke, and
safe for lady to drive also an ele-
giant pair of matched bays four and
five years old, which are fine steppers
and were much admired.
J. & f. Batchelder were the princi-
pal exhibitors of DevOns, and took
most of the premiums.
On Wednesday afternoon Judge Po-
land spoke to the people for about tif-
teen minutes on the late President
Garfield, giving brief sketch of his
life.
The attendance on Wednesday was
certainly 5000. This, with about 1000
on Tuesday, gives two such days as the
society has never known successfully.
Two or three arrests were made fol-
drunkenness and liquor selling. Tom
Selma, of South Victory, was drunk
fined five and cost. Horace Drown, of
Burke, fined for selling, $50 and costs.
One Moore from Monroe, n. H., fined
50 and costs for being drunk. One
Bruso, from Canada, fined the same
amount for same offence. Geo. Nc
Laren, of Barnet, fined So and costs
for intOXicatiOn.
