The Old Fortress to be Restored to It's
 Former Condition.
 Washington, n. C., Dec. 25,-Fort sumter that historic old fortress that played such ar important part in the opening of tho late rebellion, ls to bris- tie with tou-mch rifles and be equipped for the defense of Charleston harbor, The prospect has been under cunsldera~ ton at the war department for some time, but yesterday the question was brought directly to the attention of the secretary of war and General Miles, the commanding general of the army, by Congressman Elliott who represents the Charleston district
 General Miles has recently been south and he is heartily in favor of the res toration of the old lortidcation to its former condition. It is not known whether the renovation of Fort Sumter at this time is due to the threatened conflict with Great Britain. There is something like $75 GOO available for the Qualifications of Charleston har0or. and the secretary of war is willing that the money should be expended upon Fort Sumter and land battery on Sullivan's Island in the same harbor.
 Since the close of the war Fort sum ter has been almost deserted. For many years past an ordnance sergeant has lived there as q caretaker of the rapidly decaying government property. Time has made but little impression upon it's stout walls, but the elements have played havoc with the interior and the exposed portions of the structure. It is estimated that the fort can be placed in good condition and made quite formida- ble without the expenditure of a large sum of money. The principal outlay will be for guns.
 It is a remarkable coincidence that Fort Sumter, the first fertilization to figure in the late war, is now the first point of defense to get ready to resist foreign invasion. Even if there should be no occasion for conflict it is contend ed that Fort Sumter should be restored to it's normal condition, and maintain ed with the same care and fidelity that is employed upon the Notifications in

Mouse and House.

A tale Of a bright little mouse,
Who discovered a nice little house,
"Made on purpose for US, not a doubt,
And q door to go in and go out
care you sure it's quite safe, Mr.. Mouse9'
"Why, Of course. Don't you see it's a housep"
So one little mouse went and stopped
Because the front door quickly dropped.
They wept in their handkerchiefs sore,
Thought something was wrong with the door.
So once more a brave little mouse
Went-and did not come out of that house.
Said an elderly mouse, very wise.
With his spectacles over his eyes,
''I'n lust put my tail in that house
And not sacrifice a whole mouse"
So he did, and down came the door ON
His tail. Before he could squeak it was gone!
And he said to each awestricken mouse,
'.Have no more to do with that house."

If that gray one had a little moro
room, he would lick the red quicker than a
hound pup can lick a skillet"
These were the strange sounds that
were heard ON Dearborn street on a recent
afternoon when a crowd gathered around
o market wagon filled with country prod
uce, with a crate of chickens on top Of
the potatoes, turnips, etc. The crate was
divided, one end containing a half dozen
pullets, while in the other end there were
two ROSTERS looking as proud as the toy
ROSTERS hat the Democrats have on hand
and are willing to dispose of at q ruinous
sacrifice.
The gray bird seemed to nave an idea
that by sticking his head through the
crate and filling his lungs, as if he were
being examined for a life insurance, he
could strike a note that would perhaps DO
heard by the friends down on the farm.
His effort was echoed by the red fellow,
who raised him a note or two.
Then they glared at each other much as
the tenor looks at the basSo after the latter
has sung a solo, and a moment later they
were at it., with blood and feathers flying
all over the crate. There is more or less
Of the brute in the average man-often

outcome of the fight overshadowed any

opinions as to the merits Of each bird were
freely backed with wagers.
When the man from the country who
owned the load came out from a %neighbor-

the chicken dispute from the outer circle
