Tort Doneison Ready For BattIe.

From General Lew Walface's account
of the battle of Fort Donelson, in the
December Century, We quote the fol-
lowing: 'sThe 9Th of February, 1862,
dawned darkly after a thunderstorm
Pacing the parapets of the work ON the
hill above the inlet formed by the
junction of Hickman's Creek and the
Cumberland River, a sentinel, in the
seryiceable butternut jeans uniform Of
the Confederate army of the West,
might tSat day have surveyed Fort
Donelson almost ready for battle. In
fact, very little was afterwards done to
it. There were the two water batter
les sunk in the northern face of the
bluff, about thirty feet above the river;
in the lower battery nine thirty-two
FOUNDER guns and one ten-inch Column
biad. and in the upper another Colum-
biad. bored and ritied as a thirty-two
pounder. and two thirtytwo FOUNDER
carrronades. These guns lay between
the embrasures. in snug revetment Of
sand in coffee sacks. fanked right an I
left with stout traverses. The salts
faction of the sentry could have been
nowise diminished at seeing the back
water lying deep in the creek; a more
perfect ditch against assault could not
have been constructed. The fort it
self was of good profile. and admirably
adapted to the rid se it crowned.
Around it. on the landward side, ran
| the ritie-pitS, a continuous but irregn-
lar line of logs. covered with yellow
| clay. From Hickman's Greek they ex-
tended far around to the little run just
outside the town on the south. II the
sentry thought the pits looked shallow,
he was solaced to see that they follow
ed the coping of the ascents. seventy or
eighty feet in height, up which a foe
must charge. and that, where they
were weakest, they were strength
| sned by trees felled outwardly in front
! 81 them. so that the interlacing imbs
and branches seemed impossible by
men under fire. At points inside the
outworks, on the inner slopes of the
hills, defended thus from view Of an
enemy as well as from his shot, lay the
huts aud og-houses Of the garrison.
Here and there groups of later comers,
shivering in their wet blankets, were
] visible in biyouac so cheerless that
not even morning fires could relieve it.
A,little music would have helped fheil
sinking spirits, but there was none,
Even the picturesque effect OF gay uni
forms was wanting. In fine, the Con-
federate sentinel ON the ramparts thai
morning, taking in the whole scene
knew the jolly, rollicking picnic days
of the war were over

People often wonder why it is that a
heshy Indian is so seldom seen. A sci
enlist has discovered that it is water
and not food that. makes people fat.
Whether this holds good with the noble
red man or not is hard to say, but ii an
Indian was to depend on the water he
uses in washing to become fat it is safe
to say that he would bs the thinnest
man under the sun. The only time that
an Indian ever gets a bath is when he
rides his pony across stream or gets
ipped out of q boat.

The black rat. so common in Eng
land many years ago, has been COM
pletely exterminated by the gray and
dun species of later times. Specimens
cannot be obtained by offering extrav-

declare that they have never seen such
thing as black rat. although they
have often heard traditions OF their ex-
istence.
