The Praise of War Heroes. I beard loud praele of heroes. Hut I saw The biood-stai n on their tablet. Then I mark'd A torrent rushing from the mountain height Among the arid sands of Vanity Did spend itself, and lo! a warning voice Sighed o'er the Ocean of Eternity, "Behold the warrior's glory." History came. Sublimely soarinc on her wlug of light, And many a name of palatine ana peer, Monarch and prince, on tier proud scroll she bore. Blazoned by fame. But, mid the sea of time, Helmet and coronet and diadem Rose boastful up, and shone, and disappeared, Like the white foam crest on the tossing wave. Forgotten while beheld. ?Lydla H. Slgourney. Nlnbinff of the Victoria. While the British war fleet in the Mediterranean was manoeuvring off Tripoli on the 23d ult., the Victoria was run into by th# Camperdown and sank almost immediately, carrying down nearly 400 officers and men. This is one of the greatest disasters with which the British navy has recently met. The Victoria was one of the largest onri hoot r>r?n?trnnted of the shins of the navy. She was built in 1887 'at a cost of three aud a half millions of dollars. She was a 12,000 horse power vessel with a displacement of 10,470 tons. She was protected with armor 18 inches thick. She carried 44 guns, one of which was a 29-ton gun and two 111-ton guns. She had a powerful ram and eight torpedo tubes. When the Camperdown struck her, nearly at right angles, a great hole was torn in her steel-covered side, the water rushed in in torrents, and before the bulkheads could be closed she turned to one side, was almost instantly capsized by the enormous weight of her big guns, etc., and went to the hots' torn with more than half of all on board. It is an appalling disaster and one that could scarcely have happened to any vessel except one of these new aud supposedly nearly indestructible warships. It seems from this event that these ships are really death traps, instead of protecting fortresses. The heavy steel plating is no protection against the ponderous beaks of hostile vessels, a well aimea diow 01 wnicn iu au engagement would be more destructive than the firing of the big guns or the exploding of the torpedoes, i The features of these ships which had been so much praised as protective in the highest degree are proved by thia accident to be elements of very great danger. The immense quantities of metal putinto them make the dividing line between safety and dauger a very narrow one. It is almost certain that in au actual engagement more lives ' would be sacrificed through tbe perils ; of the ships themselves than from the . fighting. i It is to be hoped that the English , people and all others will open their i eyes to the folly of proceeding any " further along this line of warship j building. These huge monsters of the deep are out of harmony with our < time. They represent a spirit that is ' dying out. The English are paying i l_ ----- -1 ? ? ? ? ni7o/-)/\rv? f/t? nf Itaru lifttV uy lur 1/liCll uunuuuui, IU1 uiuno of their ships have previously gone to wreck in storms. The British navy has lost seventy vessels in fifty years. England's boast that she has the biggest and best equipped navy in the | world is not at ali to her credit. It is a striking proof that the barbarism of the past which beat down it* foes with < bludgeons and clumsy swords still exists in her borders, encircling itself in steel plate and arming itself with hundred-ton guns. 1 This event is leading many of the military men to say that no more such ships should be built, that smaller vessels are much better. From their standpoint this is probably true. Hut it would be much better still to build none at all. If England would break up her navy, strip off all thesteelplate from her her warships, dismount her big guns and recast them into anchors, plows and shovels, she would be much safer in every way than she is to-day. Every nation would respect her and would hasten to follow her example. This, instead of being unreasnoable and Utopian, is simply what is demanded of her by the civilization of the time, in which she has such a leading share. It is also what she will oue day do. She ought to commence at once, and not sacrifice another 400 of her citizns to an inexcusable folly. The heart of England has been universally moved to grief at the swift death that came to these men. Is it possible that this same heart could in this Christian day be moved to wild rejoicing if an enemy's ship should be hurled by one of her own steel-clad beaks to the bottom of the ocean, car, ryingdown 400 Russian or Frenchmen with it ??American Advocate of ( Peace.
