4 Mothers Anguish.

New York sun.
A stylishly dressed young woman was
taken into the Forty-seventh street po-
lice station last evening. She was very
drunk, and her silk dress was rumpled.
Her mother came looking for her an
hour later.
Cant ! see her?n she asked.
"She is too drunk 10 speak," said :
Sergeant.
"What shall do?" the mother said,
despairingly. 81 must see herl"
Cant he done"
The aged mother burst into tears, and
leaned ON the shoulder of the man who
was with her.
This is awful - she said. ooh, dear,'
"Dou't take on So" said the officer,
you'll see her in the morning"

A Note with "a story.
London Telegraph.


Not long ago a well-known collector OF
curiosities in Paris who had devoted
considerable sums of money to the gath
ering together of bank-notes of all coun-
tries and all values, became the possess
or of Bank of England 60 note to
which an unusually strange story was at
tached. This note was paid into Liy-
erpool merchants Office in the ordinary
way of business siXty-one years ago, and
its recipient, the cashier of the firm,
while holding It up to the light to test its
genuineness, noticed some faint red
marks upon it which, on closer exami-
nation, proved to be semi-efiaccd words,
scrawled in blood between the printed
lines and upon the blank margin of the
note. Extraordinary pains were taken
to decipher these partly obliteratcd
characters, and eventually the following
sentence was made out "If this note
should fall into the hands of Iohn Dean,
of Long Hill, near Carlisle, he will learn
hereby that his brother is languishing q
prisoner in Algiers." Mr.. Dean was
promptly communicated with by the
holder Of the note, and he appealed TO
the government of the day for assistance
in his endeavor TO obtain his brothers
release from captivity. The prisoner,
who, as it had subsequently appeared,
had traced the above sentence upon the
note with a splinter of wood dipped in
his own blood, had been slave of the
Dey of Algiers for eleven years when
his strange missive first attracted atten-
ton in Liverpool counting house. His
family and friends had long believed
him dead. Eventually his brother. with
the aid of the British authorities in the
Mediterranean, succeeded in ransoming
him from the Dey and brought him
home to England, where, however, he
did not long survive his release, his con-
stitution having been irreparably in
lured by exposure, privations and forced
labor in the Dey's galleys.

The Crime Which Excited Georgetown Yes |
tertlay.
Yesterday morning tho good people of
Georgetown were thrown into state of great
excitement by the report that Mrs. William II.
Robinson, while walking from her home in
Virginia, had been attacked by negro, who
attempted to outrage her. The facts, as collect.
cd by u reporter of THE REPUBLICAN, are as
follows:
Mrs. Robinson was on her way from her
house, near Balls Cross Roads, to visit her
daughter, Mrs Joseph Gamble, on Second, near
Market street. When near Nesmth's farm
negro accompanied by a dog, and with gun
on his shoulder, met and passed her and went
into the woods.
After Mrs. Robinson had proceeded about
half milo, the negro again appeared ON the
road with his dog and gun. Approaching Mrs
Robinson, he seized her and threw her to the
ground and attempted to commit foul crime
Mrs. Robinson resisted him to the utmost of
her strength, and in the scufiie received sew
erll scratches on her head and face but in re-
turn for this she succeeded in scratching the
negro's face SO as to he enabled to identify him.
By her screams she attracted the attention
of Messrs. William Ellis. John Turtou, and
James Brown, who arrested the negro and were
taking him across the Aqueduct Bridge to the
station.house, when they were met by Sergeant
Trunnell TO whom they delivered him. Ser.
geant Tunnel locked him up in the Third
Precinct Station, where he was identified by
Mrs. Robinson as the man who attacked her.
The prisoner gave his name rs Washington
Bell He was subsequently taken to Police
Headquarters and locked up. He will proba-
bly, be turned over to the authorities Of Alex
andria County to-day.
A REPUBLICAN reporter visited the prisoner
In his cell at the Georgetown station-house
and interviewed him. through the courtesy of
the officers. Bell stated that he got over q
fence, and walking down the road, which was
muddy slipped and fell against Mrs. Robinson
and knocked her down, but this statement is
not believed by the community of George
town. The prisoner is of dark complexion,
broad, thick set of medium height, large eyes,
short curly hair, and wears small mustache.
Mrs. Robinson, is n large, stout lady, the
mother of thirteen children, and the grand
mother of four children, and had IL not been
! for her powerful physique she would have been
unable to protect herself against the assault of
her assaiant. Tie people in Virginia, opposite
Georgetown, were greatly incensed by the at
tempted outrage, aud If Bell had not come
into the hands Of the District police as soon as
he did he would probably have met speedy
| punishment. Tho excitement in Georgetown
| was so great that il was considered expodient

On November 9th, of last year, 1t was re-
ported at Police Headquarters that the grocery
store of Mr.. Cahill, 917 Twenty street
northwest, had been entered and robbed Of a
violin valued at 800, and quantity of to
bacco and cigars. Dligcnt efforts were made
to find the missing property, but no clue to 1t
could be obtained. Not long since Harriet
Diamond. claiming to be Mrs. Cahill, and who
has lived with him as his wife, said that she
could recover the violin If Mr.. Cahil would
pay $40, which she was to give q colorod man
for bringing the musical instrument to her.
The proposition was refused and there 1t
dropped. 1t is proper TO say that Mr.. Cahill
and the woman are not OH very friendly terms.
Some time since she instituted suit for divorce
from him and an injunction to prevent him from
disposng of the property until decree was
rendered in the cause. He made an answer
denying that any marriage ceremony had ever
been performed between them, and conse-
quently no ground existed upon which cause
for divorce could be based. Last Tuesday Mr..
Cahill while searching upstairs for revolver
that had been misplaced, according to his
statement, found, carefully wrapped in paper,
behind Madam Cahill or Diamonds trunk, the
much-missed violin, thus proving the falsity
of the robbery. How 1t got there he has not
discovered, but believes that IL was sccreted
purposely to make him believe it was gone and
cause him as much annoyance rs possible. He
went to Police Headquarters and explained
why the detectives could not get clue to find
the supposed thieves.

creditable to Chairman Roadway, Dr. Bliss, and

was the fact that the drivers of the street ears
