Gomngo, who brought the obelisk
to Now York, has resigned from
the navy and assumed the man
agement of a large iron-ship build
ing yard in Philadelphia. With
the assistance of several capitalists
he has leased the shipyard of the
Philadelphia and Reading Rail
road, and begun the building of
vessels. He has already secured
contracts for building a large iron
sailing ship and for two smaller
vessels. The ship is for "W. II.
Starbuck, the general agent of the
Oregon Railroad and Navigation
company, and will be used on the
California coast. It will be a. ship
of 3,000 tons, and it will be the
booond vessel of its kind ever
built in the United States,
first vessel, a sister ship, is
being built bv John Roach.
dimensions of the two vessels ;ire:
Length, 225 feet; breadth of bnin,
42 feet; depth of hold, 23i feet.
Iji a. recent interview with a N.
IT. Sun reporter he said that lie
had leased the yard for a long
term of years. "1 resolved several
m on Mis ago," he said, ''to lenvc
the navy, but have been awaiting
my promotion to be commander,
due in two or three months now.
I have been a lieutenant-commander
seventeen years. But
now I shall wait no longer."
""Who arc th1 capitalists who
are supporting you in this enter
prise?" askod the reporter.
Wm. IL Vanderbilt, while
having no direct interest in it, has
kindly arranged things so that I
can control a large block of stock.
There are others whom I. should
profer not to name. My friends
in the city have been very prompt
in subscribing to stock.'
"Do you wropese to fiirht John
jandotjyir shipbuilders?"
"I propose to go into the legiti
mate business of shipbuilding, of
winch I have a thorough knowl
edge, aud do not desire to fight or
hurt any one. However, I shall
nDt outer into any ring, but work
iritlejpendently."
Ars you sre of a profitable
hustnoes?1
"I thiuk so. I may say that I
have already assurance of plenty
of work. Brighter times have
come for the American merchant
marine. It is on the rise, and there
is m reason why the new vessels
shoukl not be built here."
:Cn they be "built as cheaply
Hb in Groat Britain."
'Malarial for building is dearer
here, but labor ib fully as cheap.
Material is absurdly high, much
utghor thwi in England. Foreign
b..IL uLJvjs can never be admitted
to Atnaricsn registry, unless the
matorial for building ships is ad
mitted free of duty. Every ship
builder would much prefer getting
his material free of duty to having
an American registry denied to
foreign ships. I favor the admis
sion of foroign-built ships on the
payment of a duty equivalent to
the duty on the material of which
thoy arc made. Any legislation
whtoh does not provide for this
would be directly against the inter
ests of American labor, and no
congress would dare to pass such a
law."
rtW1v do vou sav labor is as
cheap lere as in England?'
"An American mechanic will do
in r. wrk in the same time than
itn K ttfi-h mechanic, and we have
nAXi labor-saving machines."
l' oiutaader Grorringc went on
to i-ay that in Europe wooden ves
sels had been supplanted almost
eniroly by iron vessels; which
were five times as durable, and
hence much cheaper. He gave
statistics of the number of vessels
in the coal trade showing that the
demand-Tor iron vessels from this
quarter will be great. At present,
he saio all the ship3ards have
much more work than thej' can
attend to, and other yards are
needed..
one in which Oregon was much j Saturday, friar. 10 at 10:30 a m
interested, lier river and harbor
improvements are of such a char
acter as to demend the aid of th
government, and the small allow
ance heretofore ma.de. has scarcely
been enough to push forward the)
improvements as they were de
manded by the increased impor
tance of our commerce. The locks
at the Cascades, will have to come
to a stand still after the present
appropriation is exhausted, while
the river improvements from here
to Astoria will have to be made
by the city. Tiie most serious
loss, however, to the northwest, is
the appropriation provided in
the bill, for the mouth of
the Columbia. Jt is true the
amount was insignificant 75,000
but it -nould be the commence
ment of an important work and
place the mouth of the Columbia
hereafter on tiie regular list of ap
propriations, snd the chance in
the future would have been much
better to get :l Jarrer allowance.
Ir was that prince of Mitinsts,
Charles Dickens, who said that
"Duty is what others should do."
Wiggins, the storm seer, has more
exalted ideas. An Ottawa dis
patch says that "as the time ap
proaches for Wiggins'1 great storm,
the interest becomes more inteie.
Many timid persons are known to
be pi ost rated with nervousness.
Telejrranhie ie?orts state that
several women have become insane
through fear. Wiggins i visibly
affected and his appetite is seri
ously interfered with. He regrets
the storm's coining, aud almost
wishes now he had not predicted
it in the interest of science. He,
however, felt it his duty to his
fellow cicatures."
A LouisviLLK, Kv., school di
rector after visiting a school and
finding a total lack of discipline
among the ixys reprimanded the
tcacner, ana men procuring a
strap administered indiscriminate
justice by thiashing every boy in
the loom. The indignant youth
thereupon had the school director
fined and also made it unpleasant
for the unfortunate teacher.
