In the chancel was a fine dis play of palms, and the altar of the Blessed Virgin was adorned with flow- era. Aa the party entered the churoh the organ played the Weddl ng March from Lohengrin.

Yesterday a Times-Kecordib reporter took in the America* Iron Works, and although the time was nnpropitlons for anything like an adequate criterian by which to go for aa insight into the im mense business done by this factory, yet to the uninitiated the hum of machinery and tue busy army of mechanics would look like an over-crowding of work. They are doing much, but have capacity for more. There are few people in America,;- comparatively speaking, who realize the Importance and magnitude of this Indus try. There are no parts of building Iron that they cannot cast, and steam engines can be entirely reproduced, as Is evidenced by tbe number which they now have on hand for repairs and re modelling. Tbe foundry connected with the es tablishment is one of full completeness in all its details, and with the assistance of an unexoelled pattern-maker, casting! from blind fastenings to 100 horse-pow er fly wheels can be made. Their blast furnace is one of great capacity, and when at its full heat tbe interior as viewed through the Isingglais peep hole on-one aide is painfully suggestive of what impenitent sinners may expect after a career of earthly iniquity. Mr. Jas. Lanier, whether from natural geniality or rushing business, wears a perpetual and inviting smile and seems to take at a personal favor the privilege of showing visitors over tbe extensive works over whioh be has the super- vision.
