The Deaf s1ute,s story.

"The most pathetic story ever
heard" said Senator Hoar once, twas
told by Professor Gallaudct. The pro.
fessor had favorite pupil, little
deaf mute boy, exceptionally bright.
Mr.. Gallaudet asked him If he knew
the story of George Washington and
the cherry tree.
with his nimble, fingers the little
fellow said he did, and then he pro-
ceeded to repeat it.. The noiseless gcs-
ticulations continued until the boy had
informed the professor of the elder
Washington's discovery Of the mutilat-
ed tree and of his guest for the mutt.
lator...
..'When Georges father asked him
who hacked his favorite cherry tree,
signaled the voiceless child, George
put his Ratchet in his left hand
Stop interrupted the professor.
Where did you get your authority for
saying he took the Ratchet in his left
handY
why responded the boy, he
needed his right hand to tell his father
that he cut the tree"

Among the odd habits Of rocks is the
way that members of the same rookery
have of ilnermal1yins generation after
generation. The males always choose
their wives from among their near
neighbors and if one should be SO bold
as to bring homie to his rookery bride
from distance the other rocks will in
variably refuse to receive her and will
force the pair to build some way off.
In the neighborhood of big rookeries
outlying nests Of this kind may always
be found.

Fleet Engages the Forts.
(Bv the Associated PrcSS.)

Newport, r. l., Sept. 5.-Nearly the
entire fleet under Rear Admiral Higgin-
sons command made a demonstration
this afternoon against the army dcfcnces
on Narraganset Bay, but did not attempt
TO come into close quarters with any Of
the forts. A landing was effected how
ever, at Prices Neck, where the search
light and range station on which the
mortars at Fort Adams are sighted and
fired were put out of action for an hour.
During that time the ba%ttleships Kear-
sarge and Alabama engaged Fort Weth-
erell. the cruisers Olympia and Brook
Ign hammered Fort Greble in the West
Channel, While the battleships Massa-
chusetts and Indiana and the monitor
Pulitan destroyed a signal station at
the entrance of Seakonet River.
After two hours of fighting the fleet
drew off shore, where it assembled just
before sunset for what at that time look
ed like a night attack.
The main point Of the afternoon attack
was at Prices Neck, the object being
to put that station out of action before
the mortar batteries could be fired more
than once or twice. Tho task was a hard
one in any case, but it was doubly 50,
for the air was like crystal and the
movement of the fleet could be watched
at a great distance off shore.
The fleet was all the forenoon assem-
bling about eight miles north Of Block
Island. and when all the vessels arrived
there was a council of war on board the
flagship. About 2 o'clock the ten lar
gest vessels of the fleet separated into
four squardons, and leaving the tugs out
to sea, the attack was begun. The
movement was spectacular and was wit
messed by a large number of the social
colony of Newport, as we'll as those at
Narragansett pier.
