OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

10 THE EDITOR or THE NEW NORTHWEST
a few days ago our detectives OBJ
tanned information Of a daring plot to
rob the Office of the Metropolitan Street
r. r. Co., located in Georgetown, and
took immediate steps for the capture Of
the burglars. The time ofthe premedita-
ted attack was about midnight, after the
last car had been slowed away for the
night. Owing to the many night enter
tainments Of the season, the cars have
been running later than usual, and it
was supposed the company's safe was
stored with an unusual amount of the
coveted cash. Accordingly, when the
silence Of night began to make the To-
cality Of the Office lonesome, and now
portentious, the officers, with some OF
the eOmpany's officials, had stealthily
concealed themselves about the prem
ises. Twelve o'clock came, and soon
after mutiied sounds were heard in the
rear, then the forms Of five masked men,
two colored and three white, were seen,
who, passing through the car-house, ap-
preached the door aud suddenly burst it
open. Entering, they proceeded TO the
safe and were about to begin operations,
when, discovering a concealed officer,
one raised to shoot him, but his arm
was dashed aside by one Of his cOnfede-
rates. The detective at once fired upon
the would-be murderer. This was the
signal for a general onslaught from those
awaiting outside. Then for few mo-
nents the building rang with the fast
repeating pistol shots and the noise Of
the desperate encounter, as the robbers
endeavOred to crowd their way through
] to the street and escape. Three succeeded,
but, ,it is thought, bearing serious wounds,
while two were stretched upon the
floor, one fatally wounded, who has
since died, the other disabled by bad
wound in one Of his legs. The latter il
was who gave the information Of the in
tended robbery to the police. He has
since stated that it was the purpose "a;
the killed robber, his brother and tbe
two cOlOred men, to kill the watchmau
in charge of the office, and commit
whatever other murder necessary to
! their purpose. The parties are all

A Fair Partnership.

Mrs. Nottingham, being unable to get
the means from her husband TO supply
her necessities, at last Informed him
that she should resume her profession of
teaching, so as to be independent, as
she was before she was married.
"NOu're not in earnest, my dear %
said Mr.. Nottingham.
"Of course I'm in earnest. Why not &?
Do you suppose | intend to go on this
way, begging and praying for every dol
la. l spend I've been independent
once, and I can be so again"
NO but look here.n Mr.. Noting
ham had risen, and was pacing up and
down rather uneasily. "My wife can't
go to teaching What is it that you
want ,"
What I can earn" proudly retorted
Mrs. Nottingham.
"But put il into wordsn
well, then, look here,n said Mrs
Nottingham, "I have always done the
whole hOusework and sewing. Consid-
cred as a cook, demand fifteen dollars
month; as a seamstress, five dollars;
as your wife, and the lawful mother of
your children, at least fifty dollars
more. And then / shall not consider
myself properly compensated"
"Whew-w-w Let me see; it's
nearly hundred dollars a month ~
81 consider my services as worth that
at least" said Mrs. Nottingham, with
dignity "but If you would rather hire a
house-keeper, / will prosecute my orig
inal idea Of opening a select school"
Mr.. nottingham walked up and down
the room once more, Tumpling his hair
into pOrcupine fashion with his fingers.
"Pll consult Uncle Wetherbee," he
said
"Very WE'LL" said Mrs. Nottingham;
"I' N quite willing to abide by his de-
eision.n
Uncle Wetherbee, a bronze-visaged
eX-sailOr, who was comfortably smOk-
ing his meerschaum upstairs, was sum-
mOned at once. He came down rather
slowly, on account Of a wooden leg, and
| listened to the pleading on either side
with great gravity.
"D'ye want to know my opinion ?n
said Uncle Wetherbee, when they bad
/ finished.
"Certaiuly," said Mr.. Nottingham
"Of course" said his wife.
"Then look here" said Uncle Weth-
erbee. "Matrimony's eOpartnership
of joys and sorrows, and it ought to be
/ of money as well. My advice is,
Nephew Nicholas, that you divide even
with your wife"
"Divide-even" :" blankly repeated
I Mr.. Nottingham.
"Or, better STILL" went on Uncle
Wetherbee, take one-third of the
money yourself, lay aside one-third for
household purposes, and give the other
third to your wife"
"Yes, but Uncle ~
"0Ou asked nv advice - sold T-,,.t-
Wetherbee. "There it is. and bsro
nothing more to say"
And he stumped of upstairs again.
Mr.. Nottingham looked at his wife
his wife looked back again at him.
"Well," said Phoebe.
Il will try it," said Mr.. nottingham.
1T seem wild idea, but Uncle Weth.
eroee IS a remarkably sensible man.
Yes, Pll try it.n
J And for the next three years Mr..

IL surprised the sinners and newsbOys
around the post Office the other day 10
see "Limpy Tin" come among them in
quiet way, and to hear him say:
Boys, l want to sell my kit. Here's
two brushes, a whole box Of blacking, a
good stout box, and the outfit goes for
two shillin's -

Not 'zactly, boys; but I want a quar-

Not to-day but must have quar-
ter,n he answered
One Of the lads passed over the
change and took the kit, and Tim
walked straight to the cOunting-rOOm
OF a daily paper, put down his money,
and said:
81 guess 1 kin write it if you give me
pencil"
With slOw-mOving fingers he wrote a
death notice. It went into the paper
almost as he wrote it, but you might
not have seen it. He wrote:
"Died-Litul Ted-Of scarlet fever;
aiged three yere. Funeral to-morrer;
gOn up to Hevin; left won bruther.U
"Was it your brother ?1 asked the
cashier.
Tim tried to brace up, but he could
not. The big tears came up, his chin
quivered, and he pointed to the notice
on the counter, and gasped:

known to be hard cases, some Of them
penitentiary birds. The officers partic-
ipating in the affair acquitted themselves
bravely, and, though exposed to immi-
neut peril, stood to their posts. Fortu-
nately, none were injured.
Another storm burst upon US last
week more terrific than that of the week
before. It's greatest fury, however, was
expended on and west of Fifteenth
street, sweeping through Georgetown,
where the greatest damage was done.
Houses were literally lifted from their
foundations and carried to some distance,
whole streets of trees leveled TO the
ground, and house-tops profusely scat
/ tered around. Il is said 10 be the heav-
lest storm that has ever visited this
city.
Our postal service is fast striding to
perfection, as is evineed by the three
late important steps. First is the regis
tering of third-class matter; next the
transportation of coin by mail, a ship
ment Of forty tons Of silver from Nevada
having been already made; and now the
eOnsummation OF the Universal Postal
Union Scheme, by which nearly all Of
the nations of the earth have agreed to
exchange correspondence. There is no
doubt but the whole civilized world will
enter into the arrangement. Secretary
Thompson is proving himself an eco
nomical and prudent executive OF his
department. The appropriation Con-
gress made for the navy in its econom-
zeal fit was entirely too small, but the
Secretary is chronically opposed to de-
ficiency bills, and, to avoid them, be
has divided the money allotted to him
in seven different funds, to correspond to
the different divisions of his department,
each Of which is required to carefully
eXpend its funds so as to make il reach
over to the next appropriation. Healso
makes use Of all the old iron aud fix
lures, instead of selling them, as hereto
fore, at a great sacrifice This is admin
istering government affairs like wise
man looks after his private interests,
and is calling forth expressions of salts
/ faction on every hand.
/ The five heavy rain-storms have dem
onstrated the imperfection OF Washing
toms sewerage, and have aroused the
whole city on that subject Committees
of our highest officers and most promi-
nent citizens have waited upon the
commissioners, recommending imme-
diate action in the most decided improve
ments The damage the city has sus-
tanned comes dproPOs to the purpose of
the Congressional committee for the in
vestigatiOn Of sewerage. Attention has
been called to the London and Paris
/ system. These, taken with the impera-
tive demand for radical improvement.
will, no doubt, result in an entire change
at an early day after Congress convenes.

coaches are the few remaining from the
famous old English coach system, the
drivers being dressed in red coats, plug
hats, and high-topped boots. The four
horses are started up the steep hill at a
full run amid the fearful swapping Of
whips. About this swapping Of whips,
have yet to see the country in Europe
where the drivers Of all sorts Of pleasure
carriages are not provided with long
whips which they delight to snap al
most constantly. 1t seems to be a sort
Of understood arrangement between the
driver an the horses, that the cracking
Of the whip means nothing more than
to give the passengers the impression
that the driver is whipping up HE
horses aud going very fast.
Shortly after leaving Inversnaid, we
pass the ruins of the house in which
Helen McGregor, Rob Roy's wife, was
born. The drive Of two hours was over
a desolate country, in the midst of high
mountains whose sides are covered for
the most part with heather, that merci-
ful provision Of nature for covering IN
slightly rocks and rugged mountain
sides. Occasionally there was a little
pasture for sheep and a wretched-look-
ing stone house. The trees were few in
number and mostly scrub oaks. Peat,
which is abundant, is the only fuel. To
an American the country looks forlorn,
and it is his constant wonder why any
one should fight either to gain or defend
it.
The little steamer "Rob Roy'i carries US
over the pretty Loeb Katrine, which re-
minds US strikingly of our own Lake
George. We pass "Ellen's Isle" and
the "Silver Strand, ,nwhere the fair hero
inc is represented as first meeting the
Knight of Snowdou. In less than an
bOur's time we are at the end Of the
lake near the "GOblin's Cave" where
Douglas is represented as hiding his
daughter when he took her from ROder-
ick Dhu's island. For mile we ride
through the 'Trossachs" or "Bristling
Territory" narrow, rugged gorge, so
called from its many pointed rocks.
This is the very center Of the "I.ady of
the Lake" region, and filled with ro-
mantle interest. We pass Loeb Achray
and soon cross a small, single-arched
bridge where,
And when the Brigg of Kirk was won
The headmost horseman rode alone.~
Soon after on an eminence
d" Duncragsan's huts appear at last,
And peep like moss-grown rocks half seen,
Half hidden I'm the copse so green
Not far beyond is "Coilantogle Fordn
which was "Far beyond Clau Alpine's
outmost guard" the scene Of the en-
counter between Roderick Dhu and Fitz
James.
Riding several miles farther we reach
Callander, where the train for Sterling
awaits us. Near Callander we pass
through a forlorn-looking village, where
the wretehed inhabitants still speak
only the original Gaelic. There is a
settlement Of the same kind near Ster-
ling. This whole region through which
we have been passing was studied care
fully for years by Scott, as prepara-
ton for his landscape descriptions in
"Rob Roy" 'The Lady of the Lake, +"
aud ''Waverly." The scene Of Word
worth's "Highland Grip was also laid
near Inversnaid. Deprived Of these
historic and romantic associations, the
region would lose much of its interest.

Empress Eugenie, now an old woman
"With her whitening hairs she might
have worthily worn the triple dignity
Of her widowhoOd, her maternity, and
her misfortune. She has chosen in
stead head wadded with
false, yellow hair, face covered with
paint aud powder, a mincing gait, aud
the airs Of an antiquated coquette' -
