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
