A promenade on Psnnsylvania ave
nue., the grandest boulevard in Amsri'
ca, Is we'll worth taking at any time,
and especially on these bright Spring
days about four o'clock in The after
noon. There the beauty, fashion,
brains, and statesmanship Of the sapi.
tal---le creme delacrems Of the country,
are out in full phalenx, walking, driv-
ing, intent on business or pleasure OF
idly reereating In the sunshine. Every
man and woman you meet in the NOV
ing panorama is worth more than pas
ing notice, il you possessed the key OF
their histories, some talismanic open
sesame to the storehouse of their joys
and sorrows, hopes and tears, ambi'
tions, failures and successes.
There may BE- more heroes and
heroines in that living kaleidoscope
than you wot of my friend: daily
martyrs who walk uncrowned in
lowly ways, breathing tragedies, ency-
clopedias of learning. and oOunterparts
of all who have lived and died since
the world were oupg. Jaels, A3pasias,
Joans, Benedict Arnolds, Napoleons,
Luthers, for souls are not cast in sps-
cial dies by the great Creator, but are
fac SMILED to infnity, while circum-
stances mould them to their respective
destinies. But TO descend from the
realm Of "glittering generalitieS" to
practical common sense, the most pro-
sale must admit that during session
of Congress there are more savans in
art, science, literature, religion and
politics, congregated here than can
be found in any other city of the Union
and it is impossible to walk half a
square in any direction without run
ming over come Of them.
Do you see that fry-faced man ap-
proachiDgi You would never mistrust
him of setting the world on fre, would
your unless it might be with that fam
ing torch of a nose. Well, this i.illi-
put in stature is Q giant in intention
hone other than James b. Eads OF
the jettieg. This plain Western mar
is prepsstsrous enough to say 10 the
wiss men OF the East that he proposes
uniting the Atlantic with the Pacific at
Panama, and thus solving the problem
of commerce, and lie will accomplish 1t
in time: though perhaps like Moses,
he may no. be recalled TO view the
promised land in persdA his idea will
be wrought out by others
That pleasant looking gentleman
picking his way along as though walk
ing on Easter eggs, is Judge Lochrane,
OF Georgia. Handsome DO you think
he is Well tastes differ as TO thati We
can certainly see homelier faces by
glancing in any direction, and may
safely say and conclude that his dici-
dedly ia above the average asst beauty.
Handsome is as handsome does" is
an exploded idea, and any man or wo.
man with passable physique and
''phiz"-that is not absolutely ugly, is
to be congratulated.
But to return to this Individual or
pedestrian whom we have decided must
be- pretty good natured by the logic Of
looks; he is best known by the title Of
Tx Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
Of Georgia. Judge Lochrane came to
this country when a boy, from the
Emerald Isle, being too fond OF potatoes
and other creature comforts to risk
residence there. Judge Lochrare as
President Of the Pullman Palace car
company receives TIE trihs of thirty
dollars year and all travel.
ing expenses, salary really better than
the Presidents and good enough to sat-
isfy a Ohioau. During 1879 he travel
led over forty thousand miles and ar
gued large number Of cases in behalf
OF his company. He is bright and
shining light and example which only
needs showing up as an incentive for
migration to the rest OF Ireland.
That aristicratic gentleman with the
foreign air sitting up in Lis carriage as
if he owned the Avenue, is j. Bancroft
Davis, he who personated the brains OF
the High Joint Commission that srrang-
ed the Geneva Arbitration aud prevent
. a possible war with England. He
was silent partner in the State De-
parsment, during his term of Assistant
Secretary, and later as one of our for
eign ministers, reelected honor upon the
flag, and dispensed liberal hospitality
with generous hand.
That youthful appearing and neatly |
dressed individual who comes "trip
ping" along with lady, holding her
parasol for her, and evidently Solici-
t;ous lsst the winds of heaven be not
sufficiently tempered, il George D.
Of Colorado. Ladies' admire
him as a gallant, but that he is sons
thing sturdier and better than that all
men admit. He studied law in this
city and was here admitted to the bar,
subsequently wandering West and set
tleipg down in Colorado where hs has
achieved fame and fortune. During
his services az Commissioner from Colo
rado to the Centennial Exhibition, he
married an hsirsss of the city Of Broth

happy owner Of one of the most beauti-
full hsmss in Pueblo, Colorado. The
