city improvements.

It is source of qualification to the citizens OF
Washington, upon meeting former resident, as
is the case daily, to be greeted with, " How the
city has improvedl' Yes it is true, we may
look around us, and what were a few years age
high hills and impossible ravines, are now we'll
graded streets, handsome residences, and beauti-
full gardens. Look at the few years ago un-
slightly position, now the neighborhood of the
railroad depot, and compare its features then
with its present busting and busy appearance.
Look ut the spot now occupied by the Smithso-
MAN Institution and its beautiful walks! This
was few years ago barren waste, overgrown
by the wild briar and thistle Those noisome
weeds have been removed, and the beautiful ever
green and its kindred trees supply their place,
with the antique spires and gothic architecture
of the building itself attracting the attention of
the pedestrian. West of this beautiful building
you win behold that grateful memento of ma
tion's love-the Monument to the Father of his
Country. 1t already assumes grand appear
ance and, ere long, through the liberaiity of the
sons Of this country, we hope to see the capstone
placed on this towering structure. And still
further west you win see the Observatory, with
its massive dome, standing high on what the ole
citizens of Washington call Camp HILL" Thi
hill is where our fathers pitched their tents du
ring the war of 1872, and commands the mos
picturesque view of the Potomac river Of an,
position in the ten miles square. There is also
large number of private improvements, such as
the Marble Palace of the Messrs. Brown, the
National Hotel, the Gas-house on Maryland ave
nue., and large number of handsome priyat,
residences, to which we have not the time o.
space to allude at present, but shall at some
future day. As the conductors of local journal
we shall make it our business to allude to all sucl
matters as are of local nature, whenever OPP,

Expedients to Evade the Liquor Law

Expedients to Evade the Liquor Law.
The New York g Tribune" says that the most
ingenious attempts are continually made to evade
the operation of the famous Maine Liquor Law !;
and it requires the utmost vigilance on the part
Of the officers justice to thwart these devices of
the rum-loving transgressors. The last dodge
we have heard Of was the filing of coffin with
bottles ofliquor, which was taken to Portland. 1t
was supposed, of course, that no one would think
of examining o coffin to find the ardent. How
ever, the sharp eyes of the officers detected the
fraud, and the liquor was confscated. Awag who
saw the operation remarked that, contrary to
the usual course of things, the coffin in this case
contained, not the body, but the spirit. A Down
East paper states that famous liquor-dealer has
put up in quart bottles vast quantity of pure
Holland gin. These bottles are labelled with the
name of some wonderful medicine, which is adver-
tised in all the newspapers as cure for all dis
eases The knowing ones have only to be a
little unwell, and procure bottle of this famous
cure-all, in order to obtain what liquor they
wish.

The Commerce OF the south.

1t must be gratifying to the friends OF this
interest to see the rapid progress it is making at
the South. Among the most prominent advocates
If this measure is G. G. Baylor esq, whose efforts
IN the cause of direct trade, and whose zeal for
the promotion of the manufacturing and planting
interests Of the South, are already well known.
The foundation for many later views by others
vas early laid by Mr.. Baylor, in number of
articles in this and other papers Of the city. The
idea of the South American trade connecting the
Gulf of Mexico with the Caribbean sea by a
I. Gulf squadron" mouth of the Mississippi
with the Amazon by steamers-the Gulf with the
Atlantic by railway, and other opinions broad,
enlightened, and practicable originated with this
gentleman as a commercial policy. Honor to
whom honor is due. We hope, however, that the
whole system will be carried out by joint and
general effort, as the friends of Southern COM
merce and manufactures desire, before any other
consideration, the success of these favorite meas
ures.
