But he will find nothing OF the sort.
His enthusiasm may be intensified by
the external beauties Of the city, or ho
may be charmed away from serious re-
Election by the peculiar attractions Of its
society. In these two respects-as re-
sort pre.eminent for natural endowments
and as the official and social center of the
western hemisphcre-the federal city is
beyond the reach Of rivalry. Its prestige
is secure. The average rambler does not
linger to view IL in any other light. He
gives no thought to the rights or interests
of its inhabitants. Ho docs not pause to
the administration of local affairs. II is
we'll for his happiness that he does not.
II would awaken no pleasurable emo
tions.
But the inquisitive student will be at
once struck by the melancholy oddity OF
its status, the anomalous condition of its
people. At the seat Of republican gov
ernment no one need look for any Of the
massive principles upon which that gov
ernment is founded. This may be po-
litical paradox; 1t is, nevertheless, the
truth.

But these things happened during tho
early days of'the century. See how we'll
the modern sciolists have welded tho
tomahawk and scalpel. In 1871 they
dissected both bodies representing the
people OF Washington and Georgetown,
rs well as an inofiensive infant known as
Ihe levy court, which had attended to
county anaifs. Ihey luseo thelr frames,
