wAsHRaros, ID c.. Feb 10, 1880.
After the freeze, came the flood, and
Washington INSTRUMENTATION hours
without preparation, butnot without
warning, converted into an Amsterdam
or Venice, with street cars for canal
boats and gondolas. Skiffs. and other
petty craft, piled abont on Pennsylva-
mia Avcnne, and rescued shopkeepers
from their inundated homes, through
the windows of which could he seen
dining-room and kitchen furniture
floating near the ceiling of the lower
rooms. Street car passengers climbed
up into the rigging, toyescape the wa
ter, which, in some places, rose as high
as tho seats, and, in one instance, a
frightened driver detached his horse
and rode to.dry land, leaving a solitary
passenger to his fate in the car. The
novel spectacle was enjoyed by thou
sands of TRANSFORMATIONS, and by some
residents of Washington, but, for those
who lived in or owned property in the
flooded district, the inundation was a
very serions calamity. 1t was caused
by The floating ice from the upper Po-
tomac lodging against the stationary
ice below Washington, and tthus form
ing, with the assistance of the long,
low railway bridge, dam, that backed
the food through the city, and within
a stones throw of the Capitol. This
bridge, consisting in great part of a
solid pier or eauseway, extending far
into the river, is the bette moir of Wash
ington, and is as Justly regarded with
fear and horror as was the sbapeless
monster, menacing the city and de-
vouring its inhabitants, sung by Soph
ocles in Antigone. Washington has
long been on her knees before Con-
gress, praying for the removal of this
bridge, and the death dealing swamps
it has planted at the feet of the city.
But Washington is not a constituency.
Congress does not inhale the miasma
from the swamps. National legislators
come only in the winter, when the in
sidious malaria is locked in ice, and
are away during the MONDAY of sum
mer, when all who ase not able to leave
the city inhale circumambient poison.
The organization of the Senate is as
definitely settledsas it can be before
the fact, and probabilities are strongly
in favor of a democratic organization.
Senator David Davis has expressed his
intention to vote with the democrats,
and it is not at all probable that Ma
hone will do otherwise. Republicans
pretty generally eoneede the organize
ton, but the parties are so evenly bal
anced, that General Garfield will have
far less trouble in securing the con-
firmation of his appointeeS than the
present executive has had.

In speaking of the next senate, q
Washington special of the 18th
instant, to the New Orleans Demo
crat, says Senator David Davis is
quoted as saying that it would be
rank craftsmanship for the Republic
cans to attempt to 'reorganize the
senate, and he will, therefore, vote
with the Democrats in order to
preserve his status as an 1ndepsn-
dent.

i. raf GEAR THAT rs oi1rBn"

TIE 3 1tch have q queer old ballad.
which ] heard only once End forget,
Except these two lines OF the chorus,
Which are lingering with me yet:
So simple and wise fn their wisdom,
think they are worthy 60 con-
'Jhc gear that is gifted. IL never
VIII wear like the gear that IL won"
Now let ms ali read Il and learn IT,
II we work with ouF hands. we are wise:
The things that we make will be precious,
The thIngs that We earn we shaff prize.
The saying Is full Of true wisdom,
The lines are well worthy TO CON
"Thc gear that II gifted. Il never
Will wear The gear that rs won"
The vOr3d 10 all full Of Kind helpers,
And The lazy can easily shirk; go
Most1htQgs oon be purchased with money.
And 10 buy takes less ffme than 10 work;
But remember this proverb Of wisdom,
Of Wisdom well worthy To con-
The Q q thet Is gifted. II
Wf1 Ike the gear that II won"
No msater II weihave our Millions >
They cannot be counted o
The days may be hear hat are rainy,
The days when our millions are gone:
Then remember this proverb ~ wisdom
