rational doubt (says the Times) that every mile of
railroad now authorized to be constructed will be
completed within the next five or six years. We
shall then have system of internal improvement
Of which any State in the Union might well be
proud. We may then boast, a New York Sena-
tor lately boasted on the floor Of Congress that
reads, if drawn out in straight line, would reach
from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

WASHINGTON. How solemn sound the echoes
of his footsteps as he treads those halls the

of which the very air itself is so redolent.
The still peaceful river, as it winds its way
gently leaving the shores of this venerated
spot; the distant landscape so soft and mel
low: the calm quiet, which around all,
and in all, seems 10 hallow more deeply the
memories that cluster and cling to this
Mecca of the Western world; all are CAL
culated to impress upon the mind of the
visitor, while life shall last, the solemn, nay,
awful emotions awakened in his breast
while gazing upon the homestead of him
who gave life ard vigor to nation of free
men. No gaudy furnishings adorn this plain
and republican palace Of a greater than any
regal king. Simple as the tastes of its noble
occupant, it is fair specimen Of those fine
old Virginia mansions wherein is dispensed
that generous hospitality, which never asks
at the door-silI the station or wealth of the
visitor, but opens its doors to all who claim
It's bounty, be they great or small, rich or
poor. Not the least interesting portion Of
the building is the Hall, those broad entries
so common in mansions of the past century.
The wide and easy flight Of stairs ascending
to the upper story is suggestive of more
comfort than is to be found in mokern stair
cases. Being in the centre of the house, it
has doors opening into the suites Of rooms
on either side Those on the left open into
the breakfas,-room and sitting-room, now
used by the family who occupy the resi-
-dence. The one on the right as you enter
is never opened, it is sacred as The portal Of
the room wherein WASHINGTON breaihed his
last. Beyond this is another, leading into a
small si,ting-room, and thence into the large
seception-room, which is the entire width Of
the house. The furniture of the Hall con-
sis,s of lounge and two OF three arm chairs
Of quaint pattern, and covered with leather.
On the walls are two hunting scenes, and
below one If these, in glass case, hangs
