OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, Aug. /, 1884.

No one can longer doubt tina,
this city is fit to be the capitol of !
great country. The comprehen
sive plan on which it was laid on,
in the early years of the struggling
republic, gives one fresh respect
for those far-sighted fathers who
could even then devise scheme
which should to-day fit the necessi
ties Of the seat Of government fol
fifty millions Of people, and be ca.
pable of equal development with
the progress Of the nation hereaf.
ter. The broad avenue are a con-
stant source of delight, the parks
and squares are ample for the needs
of a large city, and the great sys-
tenn of improvements, carried
through under the Sheperd regi
me, laid the basis for the transfor-
nation of Washington from a
struggling and neglected town to a
handsome metropolis. Nothing goes
farther to Justify the choice ofthis
locality as the capital than its eli
mate. Though it suffers from the
Summer heats, it's temperature
during by far the larger part of
the year is most comfortable, and
the change from the inclement
weather, which prevails over the
greater portion Of the country
through the winter months TO the
usual balmy air of the capital is
especially grateful. Indeed, as a
winter residence, Washington pos
sesses greater charms than any
other city on the continent, what
with its mild weather, its except
ional social advantages and the at :
fractions which the meeting of
Congress presents to any one inter-
ested in studying our system of
government at its fountain-head.
Every year the capitol is becom-
ing more and more the winter
headquarters for people of leisure,
tor persons of literary taste, for
students Of politics, for dcvotees OF
fashion, and 3 composite society is
gradually growing up in which ev-
erybOdy is sure to find congenial
elements.
