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 ington's h< adqunrtcrs nmKwithin can non laug"., tln ug'i the shot sent, from tju're w oiild pass a blindred feet over its Inj).

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. The Carolina Centennial. 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. ''CllXni .KSTON NOT AN F.XCKKM S(i H?SY Pi. A CK TO CAI'TUUK." 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 withstanding the vacillations and hesitations with which their leaders prefaced tbo engagement.?Ar. I*. World. "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 Centennial cluster of nnniveisnrics, to-day is : not the least.?

"I'y shiminy, isb dot so?" said the functionary. "Veil yiisl vait till 1 opens de gourt und he find dat Bill Hoot, ish not reuse Lloyd by a chug full."

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.

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*.
