The Father of His Coutry.
The Attempt Made to Capture
- n rs Pisnsox?It is Veky Neak a
Success.
It was while lit his headquarters at
New burgh,' on the Hudson, that a
hold attempt was made to capture
Washington. Clinton wu3 very
anxious to get possession of Iiis per
son, and Wasltiiigt?n received many
letters warning him of his danger.
But with all the plans that were laid,
none seemed to he so easy of execu
tion as the one that was foiled by the
patriotism of a young lady. At this
time there was no road along the
river to the south for some distance,
for right in front of headquarters the
bank was a hundred feet high, and
wont sheer down to the water. This,
with little variation, continued for a
mi'c. or almost down to Lafayette's
headquarters. Hair way down the
(^uussnu creek hursts from a gorge
into the Hudson. This chasm ran
back into the interior nearly a mile
before it sunk away so that il could be
spanned by a bridge. As it ap
proached the river the south bank
swept nit' in a side semicircle but
again crowded against the creek, just
bcfOrc it plunged iiito. the IH?lsen.
This semicircle inclosed a beautiful
little valley, known afterward as the
"Yale of Avoca." In passing the
mouth of the creek in a boat, the lofty
banks of the chasm, heavily wooded,
presented a gloomy' pass, only wide
enough tor the stream of water. In
?his little, sec'udeo val'cy lived a man
named Kttrick. IIis house lay almost
in a .??!: night. line soul h from Wash

ctiiiid !>?? m?t IVoni il 0:1 to tin? Hud
mi in live minutes, and in an hour
innre he carried to the Ihslnosses of
the Highlands. This Ktlrick pro
lbs* 1! ;n be a wariti [iittrint, but th ?sc j
who knew him l e t looked on him
.villi suspicion. Tili? man ai d this
p..1 wore si lccted tu cllcct Washing- !
inn'.- capture. The p'sin proposed
was !<i have a boal ready.'aiulii parly
i.l' T01 ies secreted in the wood near
by when Washington slum <1 be in
vited to dinner. 11 is daughter over
heard a conversation that, exposed
this plot, and informed Washington
of In i- suspicions, and begged him not
io acept the invitation nfh.t father to
dinner. The dinner hour was to be
late, so I bat it would be dark before
the meal was over. Then the seizure
was tu ho ellcctcd, and the captive
borne oll'tri the bosom of the Hudson.
The boat, manned by strong rowers,
would easily have reached the Eng
lish vosse's below West Point before
NVnshlngtoii would hv missed. He
i\ as ? accustomed, occasionally, t?i dine
with Green and Knox, three or four
miles furl her south, and not he back
till midnight. On these occasions he
was usually accompanied only by his
colored servant.
Instead of declining the invitation,
he accepted it, but in the meantime
ordered a detachment of his lift; guard
lo marclt to the [dace just at evening,
;ind present themselves at the door.
While Kit rick was engaged in conver
valiou with his distinguished guest,
ho heard their foots!opts and the low
command of their leader, and sup
posing them to be the detachment of
Tories, he rose, and hiving his hand
on Wa.-ninglon's shoulder,said :
"I believe, general, you arc my
prisoner."
"I believe not, sir, but you arc
mine," was the reply, as the lifeguard
closed around him.
lie was immediately marched off
and locked up. This threw the
(laughter into a paroxysm oi grief.
Site hail not anticipated such a result.
She had given no positive informa
tion?simply told her suspicions to
Washington, thinking the only result
wuuld be to make him decline the
invitation. That he would make h?r
kindness to him the cause of punish
ment to her father she did not for a
moment dream, and she besought him
110*1 to repay her fidelity to him by the
imprisonment and death of her
father. If it had been a mere person
al matter, Washington would doubt
less have suffered the man to go un
molested; but the blow was nut aimed
at him,' 'but at his country, and this
he would not hare forgiven in an only
son. Still, every instinct of his na
ture revolted against inflicting need
less suffering on the daughter who bad
acted so nobly. If it had become
known, however, it is doubtful if
even Washington's influence could
fmvc saved the wretch w1 ose crime
was ton fold greater than that of Arn
old. A drumhead court martial and
a swift death was what he richly de
served. Washington, however, kept
the whole mutter quiet except, to a lew
personal friends, and after a short
confinement released him on the
promise that he would leave, the coun
try; To this he gladly consented,
and escaped t, 1 Nova Scotia. The
secrecy which Wash in ton maintained
in regard to il for the daughter's sake
doubtless kept it f.om becoming a
pait of the history of the times; but
there is no doubt, of its t ruth among
the old revolutionary families ofthat
region.? Galaxy.

TIIK FORT MOUI.TRIn 1'Ifillt.
If is ofgood import, we think, thai
in Charleston to-day the hundredth
anniversary of the abortive of the
itritish licet upon Port Moni trie will
be particularly observed. Nor is it
les-encouraging that a bod\ ofso'diers
from 1 los ton, and another fjj?in Xew
York, will participatesin the eclebr.i.
nivcrsn ry naturally reminds us ofthat
fraternity of the Provinces;without
which there would never have been a
I'lnion of the States. We can imagine
with what joy the people of Boston
and New York listened to the good
news from ( h?rtesten. The victory
was for their encouragement, if not
for their safety. It helped to break
the prestige of British inviucihity by
I and and by sea. Jake the battles of
Hunker H ill and of Trenton, the re
pulse at Fort Moultrie showed the
thorough earnestness of the Colonial
soldiers, ahd the small effect which
considerations of disparity of resour
ces had upon I heir minds. Only two
or three of the battles of the Revolu
tion were upon a great scale, but this
fa tri one tends to prave how little the
excellence (if military operations de
pends upon the. number of men en
gaged. He is tin; great commander
who effects great things in spite of
limited means. So, too, the hearty
cclebh'tion of this anniversary may
not, while one so much greater is at
l and, attract any general attention;
but we may In* sure that while Smith
Carolina commemorates thy Revolu
tionary battles fought upon her soil,
her h?ve of the Republic which these
battle.- helped to establish cannot be
utterly cold and dead.? A'. )". Tribune.

The Hritish plans in the South
were brought to confusion by the re
juilsc at Charleston Hay. The
mawcuvcrings of Clinton and Corn
wall is around Sulivaa's Island were,
indeed, as futile as the barren march
ings and eountermarchings, which tit
a later dale, marked the Waleheren
expedition to the Hehler, when, as
Canning satirically wrote :
"'rie: Kiirl of Chatham, with sword drawn,
Sinr.I waiting for sir Itichard Strachau;
Sir Ith-hart I, longing to he at 'em,
?Stood waiting for (lie Kail of Chatham."
Heavy was the censure which Clin
ton and Cornwallis were called to bear
in England from the disastrous fail
ure of their attack on Charleston, but.
while Moni trie stood so resolutely at
his posf 'it was impossible," as Clin
ton afterwards wrote, "to decide pos
itively on any plan." Even in later
times it has been found that Charles
I ton is not. an exceedingly easy place
to capture, ami t he American accounts
admit that the British sailor*: isiid!
soldiers conducted themselves with j
rare intrepidity in the combat, not

hesitations with which their leaders
prefaced tbo engagement.?Ar. I*.

"onk of tiik pluckiest jtciits op
this WnOI.e war."
Tbo harbor of Charleston, Soil lb
Carolina, has within our own time
witnessed -many stiring scenes, but iL
is not on these that our memory
dwells to-day. Ballier let us forget
all these later struggles, and unite to
day with South Carolina in her Cen
tennial commemoration of as gallant
a fight as freemen ever made in de
fence of their country and their
rights. It was one of the pluckiest
fights of tbc whole war, and it is no
wonder that South Carolina is proud
to commemorate it. "It saved." says
Bancroft, "not a port, but tbc State.
It kept seven regiments away from
New j ork for two months; it gave
security to Georgia and three years'
peace to Carolina; it dispel led through
out the .South the dread of British
superiority; it drove the loyalists into
obscurity. To the other Colonies it
was a message of brotherhood and
Union from South Carolina as a self
directing Republic." A ml so from
South Carolina, to-day, comes up tous !
the message of brotherhood and union,
and while the descendants of (he men
who fought with M mil trie recall their
fathers' deeds, to which we owe so
much, let us join our rejoicings with
theirs, and meet them in the same
good will that bound together our
sires and theirs?the same spirit of de
votion tof nil ion and liberty. In our

All who have had the privilege of
being drawn on a jury must be (ami
liar with this quaint old Norman
French expression, used by the Shcriif
or his representative when opening
court. But few have been lucky
enough to listen to such an exordium
as came upon the astonished ears of
the Mansfield* and O'Connors of
Mttskingutn, from the lips of the
compatriot of Bismarck.
Will, lluth is sheriff of Muskingum
county, Ohio. He is also of the Teu
tonic persuasion. Wlicti lie was igno
rant of his duties and greatly troub
led about the proper way of opening
court, lie confided his troubles to Con
gressman Southard, and several other
young members of the bar, and they
coached him his duties, giving him to
understand that he was a higher ofli
cial than the court itself, and that
Judge Frazier, of the Common Fleas,
was in the habit of interfering with
the sheriff in n manner that no well
regulated shcriir ought to tolerate.
"I'y shiminy, isb dot so?" said the
functionary. "Veil yiisl vait till 1

Wlicii the court came oh Sheriff
Rutil verified bis prediction. Kor
weeks he had been practicing oil lii.H
opening speech, and .lodge Frazier
turned to him with n look of judicial
dignity and said :
"Mr. Shcrilf, open the court."
Mr. lluth struck an altitude and
began :
"O ycz, hoar ye cfcrybody und der
peoples in shencral, dat dor honorable
Gourt of Common Res dons, in und for

"Hold on there! Hold on, Mr.
SiicriO* What is the meaning of all
this rigmarole?" exclaimed .Judge
Frazier.
"Sliudge, shust hold a I colic on,"
returned the sheriff. "I'm Bill Uool,

any gauses to present for its honor
able gonsridcrntion will now approach
und dat sanic make known, und may
Clod Almighty haf mercy on your
souls, und all oft mit your hats way
quick."
J>y the lime the slicriITconcltided,
even Judge Fra/.icr was roaring with
laughter. It look the constables half
an hour to restore order. The first
ease was called, and the Judge said :
"Mv. .Shcrin;.cali Peter Jones, John
Smith and Sarah White th reo times
at the door.''
Advancing to the door and open
ing it about three inches, he pitched
his voice to the high est key and
began:
"Peter Shones, Shon Stniij Sara
Vile, Shon Shones, Peter Smit, Sara
Vite, Sara Slioncs. Peter Vite, Shon
Smit, come into gourt mit you dree

.lodge Kra'/.icr?"That will never
do. Call them three times, one at a
time-"
Sheriff Ruth? "Peter Shones, Shon
Smit, Sara Vite, dree dimes, one at. a
dime, gome into gourt hiitout any de

Judge IVa/ier?"That's worse than
it was before. Call one of them three
times.''
Sheriff Ruth?"Mr. Shtidgc, shoost

you better call dem yourself. I not

SheriffRutli retired to Fred Dither's
and refreshed himself with sundry

called tiie witnesses.
New Mode ok Washinc:.?The
ill eflects of soda on linen have given
rise to a new method of washing,
which has been ci'leiisiyclyjilonto.d
in Germany, ami introduced ?rtio
Belgium. The operation consists in
dissolving two pound of soap in about
three gallons of water as hot as the
hands can bear, and adding to this
one teaspoon fill Of turpentine ami
three of liquid ammonia; the mixture
then must be well stirred, and the
linen steeped in it for two or three
hours, taking care to cover up the
vessel containing them as nearly
hermetically as possible. The clothes
are afterwards washed out and rinsed
in the usual way. The soap and
water may be re-heated and used a
second time, but in that case u half
tablespoonful, of turpentine and a
lublcspoonfill of ammonia must, be
added. The process is said to cause
a great economy of time, labor and
fuel. The linen scarcely sutlers at
all, as there is little necessity for rub
bing, and its cleanliness and color are
perfect. The ammonia ami turpen
tine, although their detersive action
is great, have no injurious effect upon
Ilie linen; and while the formet
evaporates immediately, the smell of
the hitter will disappear entirely dur
ing the drying of the cloth a*.
