THE HEROIC AGE.


Al e speaks not well who doth his time

Naming it new and little and obscure,
Ignoble. and unfit for lofty deeds.
All times were modern in the time of
them
And this no more than others. DO thy
part
Here In the living day, as. did the great
Who made old days immortal! So shall
men,
Far-gazing back to this receding hour,
Say: 'Then the time when men were
really men:
Though wars grew less, their spirits met
the test
OF new conditions: conquering civic
= wrong;
Saving the state anew by virtuous lives;
Defying leagued fraud with single truth,
Not fearing loss, and daring to be pure.
When error through the land ragged like
a pest,
They Gained the madness caught from
mind to mind,
By wisdom drawn from cid, and counsel
sane,
And as. the martyrs Of the ancient world
Gave Death for man, SO nobly gave they
Life;
Those the great days, and that the heroic
age"

A summary of Protestant foreign mis-

been prepared by the Rev. DR.. E. e.

compared with those of last year show
an increase in contributions of about
81, 100, 900, while in the United States there
has been a decrease of about $4,000. The
communicates have increased by about
$4,000. The British societies show a mark
eG falling off in the number OF native Ia
borers, owing to the war in Madagascar.
In the United States, Canada, Great
Britain, continental Europe, Australia,

denE at the siege OF Galveston l.
Wa there any vessel Of the Union hest
that escaped capture at the siege Of
Galveston? 2. Did the captain Of such
vessel refuse TO cross the bar when
ordered to do so the night beforez 3.
Was the captain punished IL so. in
what way? What was the captains
manner Also the name of the vessel
and officers. engineers and crew. IL you
can obtain them7 Answer: Through
he courtesy Of the chief clerk Of the
navy department at Washington, ID. c..
we are enabled to give the following
facts: 1. IL appears from examination
OF the records al the navy department
that the Clifton, commanded by Lieu
tenant Commander r. L. Law: the
Owasco. Lieutenant Commander VIII
son; the Sachem, Acting Master john
son. and the Corypheus, Acting a
ter Spears. all escaped at the siege OF
Galveston and proceeded to New Or
leans. The westield was blown up.
in consequence of which the command
ing officer, Commander w. b. Rem
shaw, and the first lieutenant, Charles
w. Zimmerman; the chief engineer,
w. R. Greene. and eight or ten men
lost their lives. The Westield was
blown up to prevent her from falling
into the hands of the enemy; the ex-
piosion being premature, the loss OF
life was the consequence of he acci-
dent. 2. There is no account of any
commanding officer refusing to take
his vessel across the bar when order-
ed to do so the night before, and con-
sequently no punishment administered
to any officer, as referred to in inquiry
No. 3. The facts in relation TO the
capture of Galveston, Tex, on the LIST
of January. 1863, are ELECTED by the
testimony before the Court Of Inquiry.
See report of secretary of navy, 1863,
page 312. The naval force in posses
sion consisted of the westfield, Clifton,
Harriet Lane, owasco. Sachem and
Corypheus. IT seems that the night
previous to the attack information
had been received by the commanding
officers of both land and naval forces
that such al attempt might be made.
At 1:30 a. N. on the LIST Of January, II
being bright moonlight, two or three
rebel steamers were discovered In the
bay above by the Clifton The West
field. from the other channel likewise
made the same discovery. The naval
forces, therefore, were not taken By
surprise. After the death of Command
er Renshaw, Lieutenant Commando

vessels and concluded to abandon tn,

The experiments with bullet-proof
coats and material which have been
conducted here and abroad have called
attention to the fact that mail protee-
ton did not entirely pass away with

says the Boston Post. Many English
officers still wear a partial armor when
serving on foreign stations.
The commonest and most usual type
of these projections consists of fine but
beautifully tempered single chains, i'm
closed in soft leather, which runs
along the shoulders, down the outer
side of the arms and over certain parts
of the body. These can either be sew
ed into a particular tunic or they can
be adjusted separately and put on like
harness. Hundreds upon hundreds OF
these sets are sold. The most valuable
Of all chains in connection with accou-
terments are those which guard the
head and In cases where the regula-
protected in this way specially made
chains are sewed inside the same and
covered by the lining.
Only those who have been In actual
conflict know how valuable all the
chains mentioned are in minimizing
the effects Of sword cuts. As regards
protection from sword and bullet the
general belief nowadays seems to be
in thoroughly tanned leather and great
quantities are made for officers, the
favorite p~attern-said to be the inven-
ton Of the late Sir Richard Burton
being that which forms a n~ot-too-
prominent ridge down the center of the
/ chest. Many stories are told by Of
ficers OF bullets which have been avert
ed in some degree by these leather
tunics, some of which are lined with
woven steel wire. or course none of
these things are supposed to be an abb
solute protection, but only a sort of
palliative.

He has made for individual officers
who have themselves drawn the de-
sign a variety of different patterns OF

them.
