imac in Hampton Roads, no less than thirty-five ironclads of the monitor type were being constructed for the Federal navy. The old Continental Iron Works in New York, that had built the original monitor, were busy turning out six vessels of the Passaic class, while others were being rushed up by shipbuilders in the East, and on the Ohio and the Mississippi. Ericsson was already at work upon the huge Dictator and Puritan, each nearly five times as large as the first monitor. These were destin York, Philadelphia, and Boston were at work upon the four double-turreted monitors of the Miantonomoh class. Not satisfied with all this activity, the Navy Department, in September, 1862, let the contracts for nine more monitors similar to the Passaic class, but slightly larger. Among these was the Saugus ; and one of her sister-ships, the Canonicus, gave her name to the class. The most famous of the nine was the Tecumseh. Her bold commander, T. A. N. Craven, in an effort to grapple with

le. Despite the appearance in the picture, it proved so. The attack that began the war did very little damage, beyond the burning of the barracks. Two years later, Rear-Admiral Samuel F. Du Pont led a naval attack that was expected to capture the Fort with little delay; yet the heavy bombardment made almost no impression. The ironclad that was nearest Sumter, the Keokuk, struck ninety times, was so badly injured that it sank the next morning. The Weehawken was hit fifty-three times; the Passaic thirty-five times, the Montauk fourteen times, the Patapsco, the fourth vessel in line, forty-seven times; and so on through the entire fleet. The fort, on the other hand, was hardly injured. At one point, where an 11-inch and a 15-inch shell struck at the same point at the same time, the wall was completely breached: on the outside appeared a crater six feet high and eight feet wide. But the destruction shown in the picture was wrought by the bombardment from the land-batteries four mo

the original: Elizabethtown, Aug. 1, 1780. Canto I. To drive the kine one summer's morn, The tanner took his way, The calf shall rue that is unborn The jumbling of that day.And Wayne descending steers shall know, And tauntingly deride, And call to mind, in ev'ry low, The tanning of his hide.Yet Bergen cows still ruminate Unconscious in the stall, What mighty means were used to get, And lose them after all.For many heroes bold and brave From New Bridge and Tapaan. And those that drink Passaic's wave, And those that eat soupaan.And sons of distant Delaware, And still remoter Shannon, And Major Lee with horses rare, And Proctor with his cannon.All wondrous proud in arms they came— What hero could refuse, To tread the rugged path to fame, Who had a pair of shoes?At six the host, with sweating buff, Arrived at Freedom's Pole, When Wayne, who thought he'd time enough, Thus speechified the whole: “O ye whom glory doth unite, Who Freedom's cause espouse, Whether the wing that's doom'd
