Singular Life-work of Lunatlc.

Singular Life-work OF Lunatlc.
Has any one noticed the miniature fort a.
the upper end OF Biackwell's Island, to tn,
north OF the Luna.ic Asylnml 1t is tue woir
OF an insane man, who has spent half his hie
upon it. He lost his mind in Mexi,o, or some
wnere else, where high privates were in oe

Gunnery was what allied him, and fortified
TONS. As he was found to be quite harness.
and obed4ent to his monomania, they gave
him eatrencament tools, AMI told him to for
tify the island. He took the geological ano
geographical bearings with the sagacity OF L
Wet Pointer, and concluded that any attack
upon it would come from the south. So he
devised sea-coasJ battery. with bomb-proofs,
approachable by dyke, with sluices ano
gates. and mounting heavy ordnance.
There never was more patient worker fol
humanity or patriot SIN than this poor addie
head. Nobody else being insane on the same
point, he could get no assistance. ALI the
other monomaniacs had oil on the brain, Oh
poetry, or capital punishment, or negro-suf
rage, and were quite as devoted and zealou
as he upon their claims. % &oiAa
So the soldier, with a long sigh and brave
heart, took up his single shovel and COM
menced to build the whole fort by himself

at last he raised narrow causeway from tbs
mainland to rock at the end Of long sand
bar. With pebbles, and shells, and stone
from the river, he walled this causeway unit
it became permanent, AL this was not a
months nor a years work; year after year
passed over his grey hairs; he kept on wheel
ing, wheeling The great city ON the greater
island required protection, and he was making
its 90 us. So he went on like the man who
threw up the Charleston redoubts; and for
fear he would be too late to his task, left his
bed altogether and built himself hut close to
his place OF labor. He slept and dwelt In the
company of his approving conscience; and
when at last his path was done, he set to work
at the fort -,.s
ine re -ult of all these years is before u.s.
His battery is sodded green, with parapet,
BERN, ditch, ma yazine, reve tment., abattis,
and it mounts mock or Quaker guns, upon car
riages of capital construction, looking up from
the Sound towards Hell Gate like arbiters OF
dominion. sHa f.a
The old lunatic is worn and falling, but he
Is not satisfied. His fort Is done, but not hi.
whole duty. So has projected water-battery
and sea-wall around the entire island, and
means to bring to bear upon it the knowledge
OF Vauban and Todtleben. When the islano
is impregnable, he will waap his mantle abont
him and die at his battery. 1
For the truth of all this story, let ANYBODY
passing up the East River, look upon the is
land tip, and see the old man ditching and
building, and the little fort close by, bristling
with popguns.-[Scientifc American.
