JEWELRY AND JEwELRY SroREs.-If there
is anything of which our city may be Justly
proud IL addition to its public buildings il Is
10 the splendid jewelry stores, with which
pennsylvania avenue is lined. Indeed, we are
perhaps rather entitled to be p-oud of these
latter, than of the first named, magnificent as
they are, for while the former are the work of
the nation In general, the others are the result
OF the unai ded and private enterprise of our
fellow citizens of Washington.
Among these above named stores. that of
Messrs. Calf Brothers, between 1Orh and
llth streets, stands conspicuous for the ele-
gance and taste displayed in its arrangement.

MOORE 5 Drug SToRE.-We were graft led
yesterday in n visit made to the Drug Store of
j. Il. Moore, opposite the Seven Buildings in
the First Ward. The perfumery and fancy
articles are tastefuliy arranged in beautiful
