Our NAVY.

The Navy OF this country is becoming a
very powerful arm of the National defense
There are in active service 55S steamers,
with an aggregate tonnage of 40S, 200
tons. against the original 26 steamers and
40. 700 tons. with which the war com i.
menced. OF this number 200 steamers,
with an aggregate Of 100000 tons, nave
been built by the Department The addi-
tions which are now being made to our
navy. are OF vessels OF the first class,
which will largely increase it's efficiency
and power. There are seven wooden
steamers. two built by outside parties. the
others at the naval ship yards. of 5000
tons. intended to have speed Of sixteen
knots an hour. They will carry immense
batteries, be full rigged, and will doubtless
prove the fastest and most formidable
ocean cruisers ever built by any power
Ttere are also in progress of building by
the Department twenty first class wooden
screw steamers Of two thousand two hun
dred tons each. to have speed OF thirteen
knots. carry enormous batteries. and be
full rugged for ocean cruisers. They will
soon be complsie.l. There have Just
been completed eight screw steamers OF
593 tons each The machinery is from
the designs Of various parties building to
compete with the Department. The first
three. having the Departments machinery
have been thoroughly tried. and can main
tain speed Of III knots. There are now
nearly completed the wooden iron clad
coast steamers Tonawanda. Montonomah.
Agamenticus and Monadnock, Of 1854
tons. drawing 12 feet of water. and having
two turrets each, carrying two 15-inch
guns. The Monaanock has been tried
and is found capable of achieving a maxi
mum spaed Of II knots. Four other iron.
clads Of the same type. but larger and fas-
ter, being 8 2O0 tons. are being construct
cd. The Monitor iron-clads constructed
number IA. and have an aggregate tom
mage Of T8. 100. That this powerful ma
w should have been constructed within
three years, when the means at command
were at the beginning only about two do
zen machine shops. some of them without
tools, machinery or workmen, fitted for the
work required, proves how readily the
skill Of the country can adapt itself TO the
circumstances required, and how great are
the resources Of the nation to supply any
of its wants. - bsaff21a

mills of Nevada are driven by steam. and
the balance by water power. Of the en-

of Virginia. There is an average of one
hundred mills in constant operation.
These will carry, on an average. ten

There is another thing TO which parents
should give more attention. That is the
dress and clothing of their children while
attending school. The winter season is

own experience as a teacher, that children
who are comfortably clad. learn much
faster than those who are not. The reason
is obvious to every one; children carno,

known many half-c'ad urchins to come
trudgng through the snow. distance OF
a mile or over, to school. with bodies and
limbs so chilled that it took a good hour
to warm them through. so they could hold
hook in their hands. See that your
children are well wrapped up, during The
cold weather. before starting for school
See that the hands, neck, and especially
the feet are well protected. Do not under
ally circumstances let your children wear
leakY or thin soled shoes. They had much
better go barefooted than to sit all day
with shoes and stockings soaked with wa.

the diseases of children is wet feet. |

costs deal of money to buy good boots

A REBEL PRISONER ABRoAD.-A gentle.
man writes US from Elyria, yesterday TO the
following effect: "Late on Saturday even
ing man In rebel uniform, armed with ss
Der and revolver, called at the back door Of
q saloon in this town, kept by Il. Bliss, and
requested to see the landlord. Bliss went
to the door but the rebel refused to allow it
to be opened, communicating his wishes,
which Semsd to be to procure something to
eat and bottle Of whisky, through broken
pane of glars-in the door. Bliss refused to
give him anything, and asked him to come
in. The supposed rebel would not do this,
though he said no had no fear of Bliss, as he
had been informed that he was friend and
would assist him. Upon this Bliss attempt
cd to open the door, which, with the assist
anos OF others, he finally succeeded in doing.
The rebel thereupOn beat s hasty retreat,
pursued by Bliss and a cOmrade. After 60
ing Eome two blocks, he fell, and before be
could regain hia fest his pursuers were upon
him, but fighting desperately, he succeed
in sffecting his escape. This morning re-
port WAS current here that . man In gray
uniform, bearing arms, and having the sp-
pssrAnee Of an officer, was seen in the vioini-
OfBsrsa, going towards StrOngSvills. It is
the genSrAlimpressiOn that this is a John

Of the End, as it is known five made their es-
cape that night, and as yet only three have

appreciated:
Bellini's famous opera Of SomnsmbuIa
was performed to a large and delighted
house last evening. Mile Castri did won
aers in the role Of Amina. her acting was
perfect, while she developed remarkable
swsetnsss, roundness and olesrness Of voice.
Her psrsonation- Of the s!eep-Wslker in the
last act carried tho sympathiSs Of the audi
euce by storm. The other characters were,
without exception, creditsbly sustained,
% Mr.. Grsu is BParing no efortto catsr to
the taste Of our musical citizens. His COM
paEy is one Of the best that has ever sp-
PeSTed on the American stage. Tho per-
formauos Of II TroYstore charmed all who
were so fortunate as to be present. Seldom,
indeed, has this great masterpiece Of lyric
art been SO effectively and happily rendered.
Madame LoTini ensebsd the role Of LeOnora
with eonsummste power while Mile Morensi
at once surprised and delighted all who
heard her exquisite personation Of the Gipsy.
There was a grace and artistic finish in her
voice and manner which carried the hearts
Of the audience by storm. Signor Stsfani
proved himself an artist Of the first water,
while MoreIli's power and compass Of voice,
as we'll as his fns acting, ELECTED hearty sp-
