Mr.. Norman Wiord, in communiea-
ton to the New York Times, states that
the cost of our monitor feet, Of about
forty vessels, for constructing, arming,
maintenance, manning. stores, tonnage,
tenders aud preservation, has exceeded
two hundred millions of dollars, aud car
ries less than a hundred guns. Two
millions of dollars for each gun Mr..
Wiord asks what is the return for this
investment, and in reply, says it is safe
10 make this broad assertion, viz more
of our gallant sailors have been killed or
wounded by the bursting of the great
guns of the navy than have been killed
or wounded of the enemy by their
proiectiIes. About four times as
many men were killed and wounded
on Admiral Porter's fleet, at the first bonn
bardment of Fort Fisher, by the bursting
of guns, as were injured by the pro-
iectiles from the enemy's guns About
forty fifteen.inch guns are mounted on
the monitors altogether, about half of
which only have been in battle, and not
one of them has ever fred twenty con-
secutive shots in one contest, yet ten or
twelve of them have been burst or other
wise disabled. Only Ave fifteen inch
guns took part in the capture of Fort
Fisher. two Of which were officially re-
ported as burst, and Admiral Porter said
in his report: II believe we have burst
every PARROT gunin the fleet General
Gilmore had twenty three Parrott guns
burst on Morris Island in a short
engagement Mr. Word insists that it
can be easily established that large guns,
rifed or smooth bore, have failed disas-
trously wherever theyhave been subjected
to the real test Of battle, viz continuous
rapid firing. Mr.. Wiord speaks of the
inordinate Dragging about the Parrot
3OO-pounder called the Swamp Angel," "
which wss continued for year after the
gun had burst, giving the most minute
particulars of daily practice with shot,
shell and Greek FIRE, and producing
awful destruction of life and property in
Charleston. Mr. Wiord says that the
gun burst at the fourth round, on the
first day it was used, and never threw a
"Greek fire" shell toward the city. If
these are facts, the big guns would seem
to cost more than they come to, and not
TO be reliable in actions where quick
firing is required

w00ED BY ANGELS

BY JOHN n. snITH.
Mary Belle. Infant Daughter o. ar, ana mrs
Thomas II. Cooke. obi August IL, 1907
The angels held carnival
Upon the plains Of heaven,
And all their snowy plumage shono
In light that God had given,
While joyous in their blissful state
And fill'd with holy pleasure
A gentle angel softly said
"N ell give to earth treasure"
A treasure blessed by angel hands
Endowed with grace clysian,
A little child whose 'wild'ring eyes
Shall have a seraI his vision,
And mid approving glances this
Most'slorious son Of heAv'n.
Then winged babe and sent her here
A boon Of angels given.
while downward in her flight the child
The heavens blue mantle parted.
And straightway in her half shut eyes
The liquid azure darted,
A golden cloud beneath the sun
Upon her forehead presses.
And all its amber glory dyed
Her soft and silken tresses.
And then all bright and beautiful.
The babe from Gods dominion
Flew in lovely mothers arms
Upon its snowy pinion,
And there she nestled one brief year,
A pure sweet flow'r reclining
Until the angels jealous grow,
And were their gift repining.
"Well WOO her back" they said, and then
Their eyes with love were burning.
And on the earth with yearning gaze
Were softly fondly turning.
They lit the bright lamps Of the sky,
And swept the brow of heaven
OF all the clouds that hid the blue
And beauteous face of eIn.
They told the moon to flood the earth
With all its amber splendor,
And hill and dale were bathed in light
That heavens children lent her,
The stars then spangled DER the sky
With diamond rays endearing.
And through each one in Tenderness
An angels eye was peering.
The little babe Enclosed her eyes.
Saw all the glorious ev'n,
And left her mothers longing arms
And flew again to heaven,
Where angels welcomed her with smiles,
Bright beautiful and tender;
shesank to rest within their arms,
Amid holy splendor.
