The mighty rivers run.
And twice ten thousand flowers,
And twice ten thousand more
Are waking in the lonesome woods
And by the cottage door.
To count the Easter lilies
Is more than you or
Can hope to do the long day
through
How hard soe'er we try.
Every face is beaming,
Every step is light
For DER the threshold Easter
slipped
At waning of the night,
And little birds are singing
Like mad for joy of life,
And all the hours, in sun and
showers,
With brimming Joy are rife.
Jplift the songs of Easter,
Let none to-day be STILL
When this great world is like a cup
That flowers overfill
When blossoms deck the orchard,
And boughs are pink and white,
And winds go by, like wings that fly,
From merry morn till night.

THE NEW MONITORS.
FOUR HARBOR-DEFENCE SHIPS AU.
THORIZED BY CONGRESS.
NEWPORT NEWS A LOW BIDDER.
Vessels to lie Like the Monitors of
the War between the states, But
Vastly Superior to Them in
Power.

WASHINGTON. October bids were
opened at the Navy Department to day
for the construction of the four harbor-
defence vessels of the monitor type au-
thorized by Congress, at an expenditure
Of N,2JO,0O0 for each monitor. The act
directs the Secretary to have in view
the best results and most expeditions de-
livery. Consequently, the department.
in laying down its requirements, made
twenty-seyen months the maximum time
for the completion of the vessels, pro-
viding a penalty, ranging from $500 to
$500 per day, for any delay in their com
pletion. The monitors are to be built
strictly in accordance with the depart
ment's designs, no provision being made.
as is usually the case, for the submission
of contractors plans. In type they have
no duplicates in modern ship construc-
tion. and more than anything else re-
semble the little monitors which distin-
guished themselves in the war between
the States.
The Board Of Bureau Chiefs would have
liked very much to provide more power
full class Of vessel, but the small limit Of
cost fixed in the appropriation act pre-
vented this, and they were obliged 10
content themselves with single-turret
monitors of 200 tons displacement
Nevertheless, the designers have con-
trived within these narrow limits to plan
a most serviceable type of vessel, though
their usefulness will be strictly limited
to harbor-defence. and on account of
their small proportions they will not be
able to undertake any lengthy voyages.
LIKE THE WAR MONITORS.
While resembling roughly the war mon
itOrs, these new vessels Will be vastly
superior 10 them in power. Their speed.
for instance, will be twelve knots, about
double that of the old vessels. Their
batteries will consist of two 12-incn,
breech-loading rifles, capable OF piercing
the sides of nine-tenths of the naval ves-
sells of the world; four 4-inch rapid-fire
guns, and seven smaller-calibre rapid-iire
guns like those that did such service in
the destruction of Cervera's squadron.
The builders are not required to furnish
either guns, armor, or turrets. The last
named, by the way, are TO be electrically
controlled, as are those on the Brooklyn.
The turrets will be OF the balanced type.
ten inches thick behind and with 1l-inch
barbettes, while a belt of armor eleven
inches thick and five feet broad will be
pIaceda on the sides of the vessel. The
monitors will be 225 feet long and fifty
feet broad, and draw about twelve and
a half feet of water, enabling them to
move freely in any of the shallow A.
lantic-coast harbors.
The lowest bidders for building the
monitors were named as follows: Nixon.
of Elizabeth. N. j., $4,000; Newport
