Singular LI(c-xyrrk OF n Aanatkc.


Hos ary nne not1ced tho miniature fort at
t,,a .,nncr.cni nj. Muck,zel1's Islnnd to the
north Of the LurAtic Asylum: It is tie work
OF nm insane run. who has spent halr Of his
iifa upon If +. lie lost his mind in Mexico, or
eome,t he,e else where, h1gh privatcs were In
deu,<ad, and jEst escaped being Mr.. Arm
strlng, or AIr. Parrott, or Alr. Whitworth, by
going crnzy.
Gunnery was Wlat allied hin-aud fortifi-
cations. As he WIS found to be quiet, harm
less, and obedfcnt to his monomansa, they
gare him intrcnching tools and told him to
fortffy the island. He took the geographical
and geological bearings with the sat,acity Of q
West Pointer, and concluded that my attack
upon it would come from the south. So he
devised O sen.coast battery with bontrpro0f,
approached by dixie with sluiccs aud gates,
and mounting heavy ordinance
There never Was q more patient worker for
humanity or patriotism than this poor addle
head. Nobody else being insane on the same
point, be could get no assistance. All the
other monomaniacs had oil on the brain, or
poetry, or capital punishment, or negro sut-
trnse, and were quite US devoted aud Jealous
rs he upon their scyezal ciaims-
So the old soldier, with long SIGH and q
brave heart, took up his single shovel and
commenced TO build the whole fort By himself.
lie wheeled barrow after barrow OF earth into
tho sea, tugSed from morning till night, until
nt last he raised narrow causeway from the
nain land to rock at tile end of a loug sand
bar. Will, pebbles, and shell, and STONES from
the river, he walled this causeway until it be-
came Permanent. AL this Was not months
nor year's work year after year pissed over
his gray hairs, but he kept On wheeling,
wheeling. The great city on tho greater
Island required protection, md lie Was max
ing its Reis. So lie went On like the men who
threw up the Charleston rcdoubts; nnt for
lear that he might be late to his task, be left
his bed In the asylum altogether, and built
himself hut close to his place Of labor.
Here he slept aud dwelt, in the company only
OF his assuring conscience; and when ut last
his path WIS done, he set to work at his fort.
, The result Of all these years is before u5.
His battery Is sodded green, with pasapet,
BERN, ditch, magazine, royet1ncnt5, abattis,
and 1t mounts mock or Quaker guns, 1pOn
carriages or capital construction, looking up
flom The sound towards He'll Gate, lika real
atbitets of dominion.
The old luuatic Is worn and failing. but he
il not satisfied. Ills fort is done, but not his
whole duty So he hus projected water bat
terry and sea-wan around The entire island,
and means to bring to bear upon It all the
knowledge Of Vau6an and Todlebcn. When
the island Is fmpregnable he will wrap bis
mantle about him and die at his battery.
For the truth Of all this story, let anybody
passing up the East river look upon the Isl
and TIP, aud sec the old nun ditchinS and
building, and the little Tort close BY lin
bristlins with popguns.-Sciaa!y7c 1aericdn.
