above usot Dv AIRS. Washington from
tho day Ofhis death until Il yenr and Il
half afterwards, whom she, too, died.
This room has only one piece Of origi-
nal furniture, the small mahogany
Washsand.
After leaving the house we inspect
ed the yard. The west lawn is driv-
ing park, entered through the archcd
gate way at tho end Of the avenue.
Through thisgate Washington brought
his fair bride to Mount Vernon, and
beneath the same arch forty wears
attcwords, slowly filed The long train OF
mourncrs that attended his funeral.
On the right Of the lawn is the flower
garden, and on the loft the vegetable
garden. The flower garden is border
cd by hedges of box. Bordering the
main walk is Il species of hydrangia
which was brought from the grave of
Napoleon. The flower garden con-
tains q large number of the rose call
cd "Mary Washington" and many
other simple, modest flowers, from
daisy to lily.
After spending several hours at this
delightful place, we took the steamer
and arrived aL Washington at three
O'Clock. Late that afternoon some of
our party took Il drive out TO the Sol.
diers' Home. The grounds embrace
5oO acres and arc most beautifully laid
OIL. The drive within the enclosure
extends seven miles. The main build
lug is Of marble and there are also sew
cf;l marble cottages for the officers.
In summer Presidents Pierce, Buchan-
an and Lincoln resided there, and
IrcStcnt Hayes siso spends Il part Of
the warm weather at this BEAUTIFUL re-
treat. Wednesday morning we went
TO the Navy Yard. The grounds occu-
py about 81 acres. 1t contains num-
bcr of trophies connected with our ma
val encounters; and is well worth a
visit.
The next place is the Treasury De-
Mrtmcnt, which contains 195 rooms.
The cash room is the most beautiful of
any. The vaults are Of steel and chill
cd iron, and arc about l5 by 20 feet in
sZc. 1t was here that we saw the
celebrated DR.. Mary Walker. to whom
we were all introduced, each receiving
hearty shake from her hand. The
last place visited was the Patent Office.
! There we saw many things Of interest,
among which were Washington's uni
form and Franklin's printing press.
There were several real Indians in the
| building and we amused ourselves for
long while trying to converse with
them. We next returned to the hotel,
packed our trunks and that afternoon
ut live O'Clock left for our own homes.
And now. MrsSrs. Editors, i'm conclu-
SION would add that have given
