"Come heah, George Washington, you

the Austin Blue-Light Colored Tabernacle, to a
Sunday. school scholar who had just removed a

The boys trembling limbs carried him into tn G

SNOW Gone from the Mountains.

An old mountaineer who has lived in
Colorado and about Denver for twenty years said
to Netrs reporter yesterday that there was less
snow on the mountain submits this summer than
he had known since his residence here. The FIRE.
quent rain storms and the exceedingly warm
weather that have prevailed have been the means
of melting it to greater extent than heretofore
The white. capped mountains have, until this year
been plainly observable from Denver but glance
in that direction now reveals very little "snow.
cap" The almost total absence of snow, as viewed
from Denver, is very remarkable, as such thing
has not occurred, the gentleman says, within his
TecolleCLlon.-Denper Nclps.

WASHINGTON MALARIA.
Tho Potomac Flats Agnin-yhen VIII
They Re Made IIarnIess?

The condition of the President has di-
rected the attention ofthe country to the Potomac
flats and to the sanitary arrangementsn In the White
House. As to the pestilental fats there Is but one
opinion-they ought in some way to be made
harmless But Congress has persistcntly ignored
the appeals of Presidents and the prominent men
of the District of Columbia, and has refused to
take any action. Unfortunately for Washington,
1t Is not part Of any Congrossmans district, and
all attempts TO IT ddcc Congressman to appropriate
money for the reclamation of the flats have failed
President Hayes sought the heights of the Soldiers
Home Park when the summer came. His special
messages to Congress in relation to the fats were
disregarded. While is said that President Garfield
has not yet suffered from the muarial influences OF
the Marshes IL is by no means certain that he will
not be affected by them; and those who know
what those influences are regret the necessity
which prevented his removal to the Soldiers Home
Some years ago 1t was seen that the President
ought to have n summer residence in more
healthy place. Spectators at that time became
interested in valuable and attractive site Just be-
yond the northern boundary, on Fourteenth street,
but the project iai'cd and was soon forgotten The
same land has recently been bought by business
men, and large part Of 1t has been cut up into
building lots, many OF which have been secured
by well known persons. 1t is reported that the
doctors declare that the plumbing in the White
Vouse is very defective. There are many reasons
forbelieving this statement, Good plumbing is very
rare in any part Of Washington except the newly
built West End. Offensive gas is generated In great
quantities in the sewers, and II escapes into the
streets in nauscatng Volume. The Easements o
many houses are made uninhabitable by 1t, and
It's odor is plainly recognized in the upper stories
by strangers although many of the inhabitants
have become so accustomed to it that they are not
aware of its presence. When It was reported some
months ago, that the Potomac flats were to be
raised by depositing on them the matter dredged
from the river channel, an eminent physician OF
Washington declared that the people would hold
Indignation meetings II such action should be
taken. 1t is now announced that the deposits
are to be made. If this dredged matter be partly
composed of what the sewers have carried into
the stream, the flats will not be made healthier by
the application Of it--New York Times.

A CATHOLIC View orM.

When the life of the chief magistrate of
country is asSailed there is not only the malice
of murder in the act, but an attack upon author
ity-now the authority Of God Kings and magis-
trates hold from God. Their power is from God !;
not from the people, except indirectly. Hence any
attack upon magistrate, as a magistrate, is an at
tack upon God, There will be added for one
