to Mount Vernon.
Letter in Houston Post.
The tomb of Washington is xeritable Mecca,
to which all Americans in the vicinity of the
capital wena theirsway. Captain Blake of the
steamer Eorcoran. which has the exclusive privi
lege of transporting people to and from Mount
Vernon, says the number of visitors has been
gradually increasing with each succeeding year,
1888 having showed the Largest list of any pre-
vious year, though the REGARD of 1884 thus far,
exceeds that of 1883 The bulk of visitors go
there during the warm season, when the trees
are green and the ample and shaded grounds
invite pienicknrs. Last summer the visitors
averaged $50 "a day, this average being main
tined for six months of the year. During the
other months the average was LOO.
Tins would be an aggregate OF sc, OO0 who last
year visited the tomb of the who continues
to be first In the hearts of his r0untTylnsn.
Captain Blake thinks that the number this year
will exceed 100000 Many of these come
hundreds of mikes for the sole purpose Of SPEND
a few hours at the home and burial spot of
Washington; and it is noticeable that thus class
of visitors approach the eDnsHcrated ground with
outward manifestations of awe and veneration.
