WASHINGTON CITY.
Some of the PecllIiarities of the Amer
lean Capital.
[Erom Harper's Magazine. ]


It has not grown as other American
cities grow its progress has been tardy.
This yeanling of towns, SO carefully
fostered on the banks of the Potomac,
has not availed itself to any great ex-
tent of that popular method of i'm
provement so successfully adopted by
Chicago and Boston = the method of
burning; and its increase has been
more reflection of the extending mag
nitude of other centers than a spontane-
GUS movement. More and more the
custom has grown among the rich or en-
ergetic and inquiring inhabitants of
other places of going to the capital to
see what it is like F.; many of them have
been so fascinated that they have
stayed and now Washington may be
fairly called the winter end Of New
York, as Newport is the summer extern
sion Of the metropolis. Add to the ex-
otto population the enlarged ranks of
public officials and clerks, the growing
circle Of scientific and literary people,
who from choice or Government con-
nection have been led to make their
homes there, together with the needful
contingent of small traders who supply
the daily wants of these elements, and
you have general classification of the
100000 heads counted by the new CEN
sus. A city without commerce and
without suburbs-drive mile or two in
any direction and you find yourself in
the midst of woods set but sparSely with
houses or cabins, and with only the
great pillared dome, Like shining cloud
in the air, to remind you of the human
mass SO Washington, neverthe-
less, wears distinctly the appearance of
capital which has risen to the emerg-
ency.
It has this special charm to commend
it above other places, that while Boston
and San Francisco and Cincinnati and
New York, despite their numerous
points Of other than commercial in
terest, are work-a-day towns, the
'tmaiden capital" shows gayer dis
position, and devotes itself largely to so
cial pleasures. To the outsider the diff
ference is that between friendship and
Irritation. You like, you may love,
the particular big local capital where
you live and do business, but you ap-
proach Washington with sense of its
being something piquant and novel,
with which you may trif1e and entangle
yourself in make-believe attachment
having all the stimulus and none of the
drawbacks of steady devotion. Besides,
it is a city provided with "sights."
There are Congress and the Capitol;
there are Mount Vernon and Kalorama,
where dwelt the author of the 'Col-
umbiad," in profound conviction of his
GRAND as the American epic poet; and
Cabin-John Bridge, the longest single
arch in the world Arlington, with its
earlier historic and later war memories
with its observatory, it's
college, and its convent; beside all
these, the Corcoran Art Gallery, the
Institution, the curiosities
of the Patent Office, the Treasury with
its hundreds Of rooms and thousands of
where you peer into the busy
brain-cells of the Government while they
are in full activity.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN was once called
upon to address some young people. He
responded to the call, but said he would
not attempt to give them an address,
but rather short sermon. The sermon
was as follows: sDon't swear, don't
gamble, don't lie, don't cheat, don't
steal, don't drink, don't smoke, doI't
chew love God and man, and be hap
py."

The ancients used to say of a certain
kind of man that he was a man of met
tie. The expression left the matter a
little indefinite, as no one could tell ex-
actly what metal was meant. The mod
ems are bit more explicit, and say
clearly that certain man is a man of
brass.

Human Endurance In Water.

Men and animals are able to sus-
tain themselves for long distances in
the water, and would do so much
oftener were they not incapacitated,
in regard of the former at least, by
sheer terror, as we'll as complete ig.
norance oftheir real powers. Webb's
wonderful endurance will never be
forgotten. But there are other IN
stances only less remarkable. Some
fell overheard while in the act of
fixing sail. 1t was blowing fresh;
the time was night, and the place
somewhere out in the stormy Ger
man Ocean. Tho hardy fellow new
ertheless managed to gain the Eng
lish coast. Brock, with dozen 9th
er pilots, was plying tor fares by
Yarmouth; and as the main.sheet
was Delayed, a sudden puff OF wind
upset the boat, when presently all
persisted except Brock himself, who,
from four in the afternoon of an
Octaber evening to one the next
morning, swan thirteen miles before
he was able to hail vessel at anchor
in the offing. Animals themselves
are capable of swimming immense
distances, although unable to rest by
the way. A dog recently swan 80
miles In America to rejoin his mas
ter. A mule and dog washed over
board in the Bay Of Biscay have
been known to make their way to
shore. A dog swan ashore with a
letter in his mouth at Crpe of Good
Hope. The crew of the ship to
which the dog belonged all perlshed
which they need not have done had

they only ventured to tread water as
the dog did. AS certain ship was
laboring heavily in the trough OF
the sea, it was found needful, IN or
der to tighten the vessel, to throw
some troop horses overheard, which
had been taken in at Corunna. The
poor things, my informant, a staff
surgeon, told me, when they found
themselves abandoned, faced round
and swan for miles after the vessel.
A man on the east coast OF Lincoln
shire saved quite q number of lives
by swimming out on horseback to
vessels in distress. He commonly
rode an old gray mare, but when
the mare was not to hand he took
the first horse that offered.

UNOFFICIAL BULLETINS.

Lou ILL.,
DIR. Bliss authorizes the statement that the
President is having an excellent day. The
1890 examination has just been made with the
following result: Pulse 90, temperature and
respiration normal. The patient continues to
take increasing quantities of nourishment and
is daily gaining in strength. All reports OF
unfavorable changes should be discredited un-
less they have official authorization. The
Presidents condition is better than at any
time since his injury.
[4.30 P. MI
DR.. Bliss reports this is very decidedly
the best day the President has had since his
injury. He has had no fever, ate quite a
hearty breakfast of beefsteak, potatoes and
toast at IL a. m. and has been comfortable all
day. The weather is very warm again, but
refrigerating machines in the basement fur
nish an abundant supply Of dry air and a
temperature Of 81 and the atmosphere Of the
Presidents room is kept at about rs degrees,
which is found to suit the patient best.
[11.15 P. M.
The President is better than at any time
heretofore. The afternoon fever sabsided
early and in view of the patients quiet and
favorable condition it was decided to omit the
usual hypedermic injection of sulphate OF NOR
phia and see if sleep would not ensue without
it. The result justified expectations and the
patient is now sleeping quietly and naturally
without fever or other unfavorable symptoms,
and with every prospect OF continued improve
ment.

Removal Of the Utes.

DENVER, Col, Aug. 4.--Otto Mears of the
Ute Indian Commission arrived here yesterday
en- route to the new Ute reservation on the
White and Green Rivers in Utah. At Salt
Lake City he will be joined by Commissioner
Russell, and the two will proceed to the reser-
walton with an escort of soldiers, and will pre-
pare it for the reception of the Indians, who,
Mears says, will undoubtedly be moved in fou r
weeks. Major Berry. under the present ar
rangement, will continue as agent with the
Indians. AS they were notified three weeks
say very little, but Mears thinks they will
move without trouble. In any event they will
be escorted by GEO troops. He says all the new
lands assigned are better than any part of the
Uncompahgre reservation. For the present,
the Southern Utes belonging to portion of
the reservation in Laplata county cannot be
moved, but after the others are gone they will
probably be anxious to follow. There will be
settled on the new reservation the Uncompah-
gre, Uintah and White River Indians, num-
bering in all 2700.
