FORT PULAsKps HISTORY.
Years in BuiIding-Its Bomb
ardment,

Fort Pulaski is on Cockspur island,
fourteen miles from the city, near the
mouth of the river. IL was commenced
in 1881, and was sixteen years in build
ing. Its cost was over million dollars.
Its walls contain over 100000 of brick.
IT has five faces, and is casemated on four
sides.
The walls are seven and a half feet
thick, and rise twenty-five feet above the
water. The fort was built for an arma-
ment of l40 guns The gorge is covered
with an earthwork of bold relief. The
main work and the demilune are both sur
rounded and divided by wide ditch.
NAMED AFTER COUNT PULASKI.
The fort was named in honor of Gem
eral Count Pulaski. The site was Sc
lected by Mai. Babcock, captain United
States engineers, about 1927, and work
was begun by Capt. Mansfield four years
later While the fort was completed in
lS4I, it was never occupied by troops until
January 1861, when it was taken posses
sion of by Georgia troops by order of
Gov. Brown. The first confederate gar
rison consisted OF detachments from the
Chatham Artillery, Savannah Volunteer
Guards, ana the Oglethorpe Light Infan-
try. The federal garrison Of the fort con-
sisted of sergeant who made no de-
Tense, and the Savannah military
marched in with drums beating and
colors flying.
THE FIRST COMMANDANT
Gen. A. h. Lawton, then colonel of the
First regiment, of which the little garri-
son was part, was the first confederate
cOmmandant of the fort. The armament
consisted of twenty old-fashioned long 81
Founders, mounted on wooden carriages.
The magazines were nearly empty. A few
solid shot were all the proiectiles that
could be found. And vet" says Col.

A Fashion of the Ainna.

A description of the clothing worn
In cold weather by the hairy Anus,
those strange little inhabitants of
farther Siberia and a part of Japan,
Is as follows:
The only material Of which they
ever have complete suit is fish skin.
Such a suit is sometimes deliberately
though coarsely embroidered. The
resemblance between this embroidery
and that Of the North American In
dams is very remarkable.
How the skin is prepared is still
puzzle to me. Though thin, it is very
tough and has more pliabllity than
might be thought possible. Shoes
even are made with it, but not ex-
cluslyely of it. 1t generally forms
the lining Of the uppers,
The thicker clothing is grotesque-
ness itself. For medium garments,
especially for the covering of the
back and chest, birch bark is used,
other material being stitched to it.
For the coolest weather the clothing
is much like that of the Eskimos and
the Kamchatdales, The grotesque-
ness Of it arises not so much from its
shape as from the variety of the ma
terials.
none of these JOseph's coat dresses
were mixed patches Of sable, bear,
deer and fox skins, including the
tails, in hapha2ard fragments, while
behind and before there was under
meath all these a large piece of birch
bark. The bark, afterward found,
was intended incidentally as "a pro-
lection against accidental Shots from
poisoned arrows which the Anus use
more in winter than in summer in
their hunting excursions.

JUDGE Colt, Of Boston, sitting ia
the United States Court, has handed
down decision that Japanese, being
Of the Monaghan race come within
the provisions of the law passed to
prevent the naturalization of Chi
nese residents Of the United States.
This decision is both cruel and UNI
just and clearly a mislnterpretation
Of the intent Of the law in question.
The japanese race is greatly superior
to the Chinese, and the Objectionable
qualities Of the latter are entirely
absent in the former people. The
United States among all its adopted
citizens has no better ones than the
bright, thrifty, clearly and industri-
GUS little people from the land Of the
Mikado. The legislators who passed
that law debarring the Chinese from
the privileges Of American citizen
ship did not intend its application to
be extended to the Japanese, who are
really desirable immigrants. Judge
Colts decision should be overruled by
the Supreme Court, and if it is not it
should be made Ineffective by an act
Of Congress specifically exempting the
Japanese from the operations Of the
law upon which it is based.

Gold in Ancient Ireland.

All authorities agree in stating
that the ancient inhabitants of Ire
land must have been very familiar
with gold and well accustomed to its
use. Native gold occurs in geologi-
cal deposits in many parts of Ire
land. Until lately the gold mines of
Wicklow were the most productive of
the British Isles, and besides this
there are six other known gold-pro-
ducing Notwithstanding, Derry,
Tyrone, Kildare, Dublin and Wex-
ford. 1t is probable, however, that
many of the earlier auriferous depos-
its have been worked out or are I'M
known 1t is fact that no country
in Europe possesses SO much manu-
featured gold belonging to early ages
as Ireland. In the museum of the
Royal Irish Academy alone there are
nearly 400 specimens of Irish gold
antiques. The gold antiquities in
the British Museum illustrative of
British history are, without excep-
tion, Irish. The museum of Trinity
College, Dublin, contains many fine
examples, and there are several pri-
vate collections. But there is no
doubt that much greater quantities
of gold ornaments than are now
known as existing have been lost
forever.
