Contrary to all precedent and
prediction the city witnessed, Oh

Day. Pieces of green bunting.
adorned with the green harp Of
erin, Hoated here and there in tht
morning air, and notified those
who feel no interest in st. Fat

'haG come again. The various
irish organizations parade1 the
principal streets, as is their wont.
and though the day is not yet n,
Guided in the list OF legal holidays,
the appearance Of the streets, es,
pccialiy about the City Hall,
where the procession was formed,
indicated that business had been
suspended for the time Ivy a large
part of the population OF the city.
Before the parade, high mass was
celebrated at st. Patrick's church,
aud the sermon OF the day was
delivered by Bishop keane of
Richmond. Va. The proc ssion
proceeded to the White House,
where it was reviewed 10y the
President, and here the throDg
was so great that the solitary po-
|liceman on duty could with diff
Guilty keep the people off the por-
ftico. The line continued its march
to Georgetown, returned to the
City Hall. and dispersed.
The plans for the Improvement
Iof the City during the coming
Iyeas are 50 many that one does
| not know how to enumerate them,
and new schemes are being con
|stantly developed. Among prom
linent enterprises may be mention
ed the Smithsonian Institution,
which is being Reconstructed and
Congress having ap'
propriated $4,000 to carry out
this work. The Garfield Memoir
