The Washington ForgerIes.

Sir VIM. Harcourt, in late speech,
referred to several alleged letters of
Washington, printed in q pamphlet In
London IN 1776 and industrIously cir
culated in this country by the Tories,
as somewhat analogous 10 the Parnell
forgeries-
a writer in the Pail Mall Gazette
quotes from the preface of the pamphlet
a statement of its editor or forger, :"
that ''by the last pacquet he WAS
favored with a letter from friend now
serving in a loyal corpse under Briga-
dier General Delaney, OF New y ork,
OF which we here subjoin faithful ex-
tract.n This extract then tells how,
among the prisoners at Fort Lee, the
writer recognized an old mulatto sery-
ant OF Washington, by name Billy, who
had been left behind as too.ill TO attend

to take care of a small portmanteau OF
Washington, wherein, together with
some socks and shirts, he subsequently
found diary and some letters

by Washington in 1776, and were ad-
dressed. one TO his wife, one TO his
step-son, ]. z. Curtis, and the rest to

Two hours later, Bobby's mamma is
hastily summoned home TO the bedside
of her darling boy, where she finds two
surgeons working over Bobby and
Tom, setting a bone here, sewing up
cut there. and bandaging more or
less everywhere The henhouse is a
total wreck, likewise the greenhouse,
while Uncle Toms dog has been shot
by police who thought him mad.
And as mamma bends over her darling
boy, smoothing his damp brow, and
weeping motherly tears, she softly
Whispers II might have known, Bobby
darling, that that horrid Tom Jones
would lead you into mischief" And
in spite of his pain, Bobby smiles and
replies: 50 es, mamma, but you ought TO
