Hoffman. e After a night spent in the capital city and this being Sunday mom'ing I walked out on the street- and after looking around Jfor a short time I seen not far away the Washing: on Jm nument. ‘so I started out in that direction. It is located one and one-third miles from the Capitol building on a hill and one be■c. mes tired by the time they climb this land reach the base of the monument, which is 55 feet square and 555 feet five and one-eighth I inches highjand itsjwalli are 15 feet thick at base and tap.-rs gradually . to 18 inch at top and built of white marble from Maryland It is the highest piece of masonry in the world. There is 197 memorial. stones contributed from different sources as tributes to Gen. Washington. These stones are noted foi their leauty and fine carvings. At the height of 504 feet therei s eight windows that one may look on ! and get a fine view of the entire city and surrounding country Looking north one gets a view of the White House-, to the east the oapitol building, west Arlington cemetery and southwest Mount Vernon. On a clear day one cant see the Blue Ridge mountains in Virginia To reach the top of this it requires 900 steps or you can take the elevtor which goes up every thirty minutes. After talking with one cf the guards for sometime he gave me a smallpiece of the stone that this great monument was built of. Lay a corner stone of a monument which shall adequately bespeak the gratitude of the whole American people to the illustrious father of his country. Build to the skies You cannot reach the loftiness of bis principle®. Found it upon the massive and eternal rock. You can not make it more'enduring than his fame. Construct it of peerless while marble, you cannot make it purer than his life. Ex hanst upon it the rules and principles of ancient modern art, yoa cannot make it more portionate than his character!”—Winthrop's orati.in at the laying of the corner stone. The next place to visit was the White House. This is a I

I very nice building and very nicely finished on the inside, al? verv nicley fam -bed Bn i’i? mu aas th“ president and his family were n it at home I did not stay long, but ?tarted out to see new attracti ns. which are numerous There i? over thirty monuments to be seen in this city, as Dupont. Farragut. Frank’.in. Grant. Garfield, Greene, Hancock. Lafayette, Lincoln. Logan, Luther. Scott. Sherman. Washintgon. Webster, which are the most imp irtant and costly. In the afternoon Major Dean and myself visited the National cemetery at Arlington, Va . where 16.469 brave soldiers are hurried. It is located on the banks cf the Pot >mac river the most important sights are the temple >f fame, the Arlington hou-e. and the monument of the unknown dead, where 2.111 unknown soldiers are buried the most impressive sight is the Bivouac, of the dead, where the headstone- stretches away in lines endless to the sight. On each marble slab is inscribed the name of the soldier and his number and the number of his company by which he was known in the roll of honor. The muffled drain's sad roll has beat The soldier’s last tattoo No mere on life’s parade shall meet That brave and fallen few ■ On fame ? eternal camping ground Their silent tents are spread And gl ry guards with solemn sound The Bivouac of the dead. ” Here ? where Gen. Robert E Lee’- mansion i? located It was built in 1802 in the drawing roor. is where Gen. Lee was married, and now this room is where all the visitors register their names. On April 22, l? v. Gen Lee left this mansion and with hi? family went ■ ■ Richm nd to take charge of the c?nfederate army. In the year . ?64 this property was sold I r taxes to the U S. for >260,00.. One can start pon the portico of 'hi- mm-, m mi 1 >k out across the oeautiful P tomac in a north- | easterly direction and see the i beautiful Washington City and the dome of the oougressional library which is covered entirely of gold leaf As one stands here gazing at these sights he is not surprised that General L e stu lied before ! taking up arm? against the Capitol. One could spend a day at this place and never get tired, as it is as grand a sight as they care to see. while just a short distance northwest of Arlington is Fort Myer, which is an important U S. army post, where a number of ■ soldiers are stationed with officers’ quarters and all is quite a town. After takng in the sights in here we started for the z>ologic*l ptrk. but before going far, I seen a small cottage built on a big h hi JI. and upon inquiring I found it to be Mrs D. E N Southwort’s cottage I a: once started to climb a flight |of stairs of 77 steps, which landed me at the top of the hill and at the gate of the great writer’s dooryard w*s sb own through the cottage by Mrs Southworth’s daughter- ' in-law One standing in the door- ! yard and looking south they get a grand view of the Potomac After looking around here for some time I descended these stone s ‘cp® an walked up Pennsylvania avenue about one half block and • went through the Francis Scott Key mansion, the author of the Star Spangled Banner.
