Our Present and Prospective
Navy.

That portion of the report of Commo-
dore Wilson, chief naval instructor, which
deals with the present condition of our
navy, is not pleasant reading. The only
wooden war ship belonging TO our present
establishment which is classed as first
rate he estimates to be fit for only six
months more active service. Three of
our second rate and enc third-rate vessel
he estimates to have an active life of ten
wears; seven third-rate, six years, and
three second rate and eight third rate.
five years. These. with three third.rate
and three fourth-rate iron ships, constitute
the available fighting force of our present
navy, so that it is little wonder that in the
matter of ships and guns. the United
States is put bv her own naval authorities
at the foot OF the naval powers of the
world. there being in fact three
South American two Asiatic and fifteen
or sixteen European powers that
outrank us. His report as to our prospec-
tive navy is, however. more encouraging,
eighteen new vessels having been anthor-
lied to be constructed by Congress at
cost of more than $40, 900 the last of
which is expected to be aaoat four wears
hence. They are to be built according to
she most approved modern methods. and
their armament will be throughout of the
modern high powered guns, while in
speed and effectiveness they will compare
favorably with the better class of Euro
pean cruising war ships. Their compile
ton will give the United States naval
position, and though she will still be out
ranked bv England, France. Germany,
Austria, Italy and Russia. she will be able,
with corresponding coast defences to repel
any foreign attack, and make our flag
respected in foreign seas.

Hythe. Recently the same circus, with the
elephant, revisited Hythe. Between and 4
o'clock the next morning the animal managed

paid visit to the little shop with which his
memory had pleasant association. On ar
irving at the place the elephant found that it
was closed, but. nothing daunted, be coolly
lifted the door of the hinges. and helped
himself literally to the contents of the shop,
When he had either satisfied his appetite or
had exhausted the supply Of god things he
retraced his steps.

THE RLTZZARD.
Two pollars q Year,


1he Blizzard came down like thousand OF
brick;
His breathings were cakes of ice four inches
thick.
And his hair streamed far out in stiffness that
With the swirl and speed Of the pathway he
went.
His beard that found roots to the lids Of his
eyes
Hid his face in hairy, unpierced disguise,
And spread out in ice-like rightly far
From his own eye that flashed like aplvotai star.
Unseen was the rest of the demon-like form
OF the swift-moving Blizzard, the god OF the
storm;
But the presence was felt of an unconquered
will.
For the fast running rivers stood suddenly still.
And the noses of people who travelled the
street
Turned white with alright, and the hurrylng
feet
We're stung as with sting of hundred OF bees
While the blood crept away and allowed them
to freeze.
