horse cars to tho Capitol, and went
along Pennsylvania avenue. Tho Ma

Tho Capitol is the grandest, most
wonderful building in tho whole world.
1t is all marble, with q spondid dome
above 1t, and perfect hidoand-soek
of aisles, passages, and gorgeous stair
ways. 1t looks like marble quarry
IN blossom They wash 1t every
night, and tho government officers
spitit yellow every day. Alopzo says
Iobacco is bought by the ream, and

nothing but Ax-mlnister carpets and
oiled walnut. In the dome of the Cap
