SoLpIEEs IN WAsnlNoroN.-A dispatch
from Washington to the New. York World
is rs follows :'The rumor IS gaining ground
that it Is proposed to establish large gar
rison of regular troops, possibly in the
Washington Arsenal, which is now used
for the manufacture and storage of military
supplies. The troops composing 1t will be
ut the headquarters of the regiment, with
its band and about aix companies. At
the same time extra quarters and camping
grounds. will be go arranged that the garri-
son could in few hours be augmented to
several Thousand. If this plan, is carried
out is will DO in.direct opposition to the
wishes OF Congress. General Hancock is
quoted tas .being opposed to garrisoning
troops in Washington, and it Is believed cor
rectiy. He would certainly oppose always
any snch ill-advised attempt, monarchical
in its character and suicidal to the discip-
line of the regular army. It is safe to assert
that II Congress should be asked for on ap-'
preparation for the establishment Of O garri-
son here, an almost unanimous vote Of the
members, Republicans and Democrats,
would be recorded against giving dollar
tor any such PURPOSE

Little Repairs.

Now is the time, before cold weather
settles upon us, to make little repairs
| about the house and premises. We
have already had sharp warning, and II
further neglected until winter, when
the short days are crowded with work,
they will be imperfectly made, If made
ut NIL. If the gentlemen of the house
hold have no mechanical skill, the seryi-
ces of carpenter will be necessary. Be-
fore he comes, however, some member of
the family should go through the house
QUA VISIT of inspection and meInoran-
dunn should be made of whatever defects
! are discovered. Then, when the carpen-
tor comes, he can commence work at once,
end as soon es he completes one piece
of work, he can, without useless delay,
begin another, rs tho employer dictates.
Having the work planned previously
will prevent a-loss Of time ard patience
on the part of the. carpenter. Il is q
saving OF time and money also to those
who employ workmen to furnish them
dftcdys with some systematic plan for
work.
The proper time for making small re.
pairs is just before the fall house clean
ing. Every door and window, and the
fasteningS OF each, should be examined,
and If found out of order, "make note

Chickens Hatched by a Cat.

A remarkable cat lives at No. CO Fif
teenth street, South Brooklyn. From in
early age she has displayed great fond
ness for Matching out chickens. She sets
on eggs like an old hen until .he feather.
ed young break the shell, aud then she
cares for them Gs affectionately as if they
were orthodox kittens. Four families of
chickens have been Matched by this cat
and she Is now busily engaged on the
fifth, with very fair prospect of success.
The animal Is the property Of Mrs. Leo.
nard, an intelligent Irish woman, who
resides with her husband in q cottage at
the above address.
A Herald reporter called at the house
yesterday afternoon TO see the wonder.
In one corner of the kitchen, partitioned
off from the rest of tho rooms, was large
bird cage, around which dozen chickens
were strutting and picking up o meal
Inside v! .he cage, on u bed of straw, was
cat of unprepossessing appearance, but
of stalwart proportions, covering four
eggs. The latter was disclosed to view as
the animal left her nest to play with n
chicken. Then she returned to her task,
extending her body Mt full length over
tlAS SfS6" oho NOiHPiSsSiJ
The chickens she had already brought
into the world seemed to possess as much
filial affection as is generally shown by
little chicks for their natural moihers,
and they pirouetted about the cat in the
most familiar way, climbing on herback,
enjoying her warm coat Of fur until q
movement of her body tumbled them off.
After she had become weary of setting,
the cat made tour among her young
and carried them to different parts Of the
enclosure. Her method of transpurta-
tion was by the neck, and the chickens
did not seem tr mind this kind Of transit
any more than If they were kittens. She
has been very kind to them, and has
never made meal Of her offspring. It
il related that when her first chicks ap-
peared she carried one of them by the
neck up the cellar stairs. The flesh of
the young biped being very tender and
the journey somewhat long, blood soon
flowed. Instead of devouring the chick
after she had tasted its blood, she applied
her tongue daily to the neck until the
wound healed.
The cat came to Mrs. Leonard's house
| about year ago unherelded and un-
known, and next day was found on o
nest of eggs deserted by hen who should
have been setting. She was driven of
repeatedly, for fear she would break the
eggs; but, persisting in her purpose,
brought forth brood of chickens that
astonished the household. About score
Of chickens have been brought into the
world through her agency, eight of which
survive. South Brooklyn has been very
much interested over the phenomenon,
and hundreds of visitors have seen and
admired the feline incubator. York
