THE CITY OF WASHINGTON.

The interesting address of the Vice President has
suggested to lis the proprioiy ofvne or two articles
upon the history, plan, and prospects of what has
come to be an important subject-the federal city
Soon after the close of the struggle which Sc.
cured oar independence, it became question
Of much interest where the capital of the newly
established nation should be located. Several
Of the States desired the honor of having it within
their limits, and large inducements We're offered by
the friends of various places to secure it for
their respective localities.
For wise purposes the constitution provided that
Congress should exercise exclusive legislation in
all cases whatsoever such district mot exceed
ing ten miles square should by cession of par
ticular States and the acceptance of Congress, be-
come the seat of government of the United States
This district could only be acquired by cession and
as early as December 1888, Maryland offered to the
general government any district of ten miles square
within her borders FOR this purpose. One year later
Virginia did likewise, but at the tmc, with her
accustomed magnanimty, suggested that situation

DIAMONDS" Jenkins" writes from
Washington, that a Mrs. P, of
New York, the wife of a linseed oil
manufacturer, wore to the Napier ball,
diamonds valued at 100000, and lace
worth 81, 900. Her heavy tiara and
necklace were wholly composed of dia-
monds, and her breast-plate was of
diamond leaves. She stood "knee
deep"-Jenkins' elegant expression
in old chench lace, an Italian fabric of
exceeding delicacy, the secret of the
manufacture of which has long been
lost. 1t fell over blue silk from her
knees to her feet, and also in graceful
folds over her bosom. The lady sat
during the whole evening by window
opening from side room into the
dancing halls, in a position where the
light could fall favorably upon her opu-
lence. But she did not dare to enter
the crowd, for fear that the lace might
be injured, or the diamonds ravished
from her person.

Where the Honor Belongs.

The honor of having defeated the
administration in its attempt to double
the postage on letters belongs to the
Republican members of Congress. But
for the manly firmness with which they
resisted the attempt to increase the
revenue of the government by taxing
the people of this and other Northern
States, they would now be compelled
to pay .fce cents instead of three for
every letter sent under three thousand
miles, and ten cents instead OF five for
all over that distance. The whole
effort of the administration has been to
impose new burdens upon the people
of the North, for the benefit either OF
of the party generally or the slave aris-
tocracy of the South; while such meas
ures as encourageme Mt to agriculture,
a homestead bill, and improvements of
our rivers and harbors, have all been
indignantly defeated by the exercise OF
the veto power, or the casting vote OF
the Vice President Detroit AdU.
