The Potomac Flats Nuisance,

the Congressional mind last winter than ever

fully two thirds OF Congress were willing to

but the question, "How shall IL be done?'

rewards TO be secured and enjoyed in spite
of Adam and his appleeating. transgsssion.
There are homes which resemble Heaven
love as pure as ever animated angels, words
of love and kindness as full of melody as
ever ravished the ears of the inhabitants of
Heaven. There are triumphs of virtue that
bring rewards above price, deeds OF
mercy which fill the world with
JOY, hopes springing from the dust
that live in perennial beauty, aspirations
that overleap all the iron-clad dogmas of
Churches and lay hold upon God, soul yearn-
ings that defy creeds and claim kinship
with Jehovah Adam may have brought sin
and death into the world, but he did not close
all the avenues to enjoyment, he did not
stop the ceaselesS flow OF rewards to the sons

may be deprived of Its sting and the grave

A Successful Spy.
Philadelphia Times.

In March, 1865, l was assistant enrolling
officer of Mobile County, my chief being
Major H. G. HUMPHREYS. One morning the
Major handed me a bundle of papers, and,
pointing to- stalwart-looking soldier dressed
in the uniform of a Confederate Sergeant,
said: Examine these papers, and give him
what he requires" He ADDED: "If had
thousand such men l could whip a brigade
of Yankees" The Major was very impul-
sive but conscientious man. / found the
papers to be regular they had been through
the headquarters officers and were Endorsed
correct" The enrolling officer was
directed to furnish Sergeant Burke with
a horse and subsistence. His papers repre-
scented HIM to be Sergeant Burke, of the
to proceed to Mobile, and gather up all men
from that Army absent without leave, and
return them to their commands. A desk
and writing materials were furnished him,
as was horse. He was soon engaged in
writing. After day or two he would alb
sent himself, and on several occasions
would not return for many hours, and al
ways on his return would write a great deal.
When asked what he had done he would
always have probable story to tell of being
on the track of a number of deserters, and
strange to say, he did forward several patches
of men TO their commands. He appeared
to be very Jealous in the Confederate cause,
nd one day remarked that we ought to fight
under the black flag and shootevery Federal
found within our lines. The Major was
much of his opinion, but i was not, and
Burke thought | was very lukewarm in the
cause. In all of his actions he was a Con-
federatc of the most bitter kind, and of
course was not suspected of being anything
else. This went on for several weeks, Eurke
going away in the morning and when he re-
turned he would go to his desk and write a
mass of papers, apparently taking his notes
from a book which he always carried.
Early in April Mobile was surrendered
and General Candy took possession. Burke
left two days previous to the surrender, and
we supposed he had gone to his command.
The day after the surrender / was walking
on ROYAL street near General Canby's head
quarters, when / was hailed by a Federal
soldier, who called me by name. looked
at him with surprise, and did not recognize
him until he said: Lieutenant, don't you
know mey' then saw that it was Sergeant
Burke and remarked: "What does this
mean-this uniform?' He replied: "You
know now what l have been at the past few
weeks" "Yes," i said, "a spy" He smiled
and said: Lieutenant, if you want Protec-
ton or aid you will get it by reporting to
General Candy. l made list of deserving
citizens for his use, and your name heads
the list. Coed bye" have not seen Burke
since, nor have any knowledge of what be
gent Observation-Disclosures, and now / have
reason to believe that he furnished Farragui
with great deal of valuable information.

THE New York Herald publishes q five
column Washington letter. 1t reads as if
written by COnkling himself, but regardless
of authorship, it is one OF the most scathing
arraignments of Garfield that any President
ever received from any foe. To say that
Garfield is both skinned and scalped does
not do justice TO the letter. 1t exhibits and
gibbets him before the world as a weak and
vacillating man, without moral courage or
convictions 1t brings to the surface Gar
fields true inwardness and sits him on the
ragged edge of a most deplorable record. 1t
indicates the seat, depth, intensity and vir-
ulence of the disease which is now eating
out the vitals of the Republican party. OF
all the humiliating pictures of a President
ever painted by mortal pen, nothing could
be worse, if duplicity is to be considered
Such Is the Hiramite who occupies the
White House Some one now should write
a defense of Garfield, and then we should
know more of Conkling The country is
painting for these companion pictures. The
gallery is rapidly filling up, and the
portraits are extremely life-hke.

As General Walker says in speaking of
this matter, it almost staggers credulity.
THAT man, a mere human being" says
General Walker, should be able to predict
fifty years in advance the number of inhab-
itants of a rapidly growing country within
a fraction of per cent. seems wonderful al
most beyond belief" Had the war not inter
vened it is believed that Watsons predic-
tons would have held good in 1870, and
also in 1880. But in 1870 he was ahead of
nearly 100000 The losses of the war, di-
rect and contingent, we can never know but
Watson's figures, almost absolutely accurate
up to the war period, would show it to af
feet US the present year to the extent of
nearly 5000, 900. That is, had there been no
war, the present population of the United
States would be about 100000 Watson
predicted that the population in 1900 would
reach 100, OO0, 600, but General Walker does
not believe it will be over S0000,O0O.

PENALTIES AND REWARDS.

Il IS held to be true that transgression
brought death into the world. Adams
transgression made the death penalty
possible, and all were sentenced. Accord
ing TO the records, only one or two have
escaped. 1t does not in the least modify the
situation to talk of infinite love, infinite
justice, infinite wisdom. There stands the
record, the sentence, the penalty-death.
All the millions dead have paid the
penalty. All the millions living are under
sentence. What a sentence! What a
penalty What a charnel house is the
earth, We conclude that but
for Adams transgression there would
have been no graveyards; no funeral
professions; no mourning in the earth;
no sickness; no doctors; no drug
stores Every child born would have
lived in eternal youth and beauty and yigor.
No death penalty to be paid. No dimmed
eyes, no palsied hands, no faltering steps, no
voice tremulous with age, no gray hairs
living on-living forever. All these arrange
ments Adam completely upset. Here we
have penalty that reaches out and grasps
all The life that now is is overshadowed
by it, and, strange to say, it is believed to
extend to the life that is to come. II Adam
had not transgreSsed, the earth would be
pretty densely populated by this time. The
inhabitants would have been as nu-
nerous as the leaves OF the for
est. Railroad disasters might have occurred
but no lives would have been lost, nobody
TO blame. Ocean steamers might have gone
down, bnt the voyagers would all have
reached the land alive and we'll Earth.
ouakes might have shaken down cities. but
the newspapers would have published nc
lists of the dead. Thunderbolts might have
fallen thick as hail-stones without creating
the slightest alarm. The nations of the
world might have engaged in war, but the
soldiers could only have been wounded
there would have been no dead upon the
battle-felds. But Adams transgression
not only brought death into the
world, but all the woes thai
afiict humanity, and humanity is
paving the penalties What and where are
the rewards that balance these penalties tina

erosion? In every day of the life that nov
IS. the human family is paying penalties
and we are told when the last sad penalty i
