You have heard of that gorgeous yet taw-
dry and tumble-down failure called Castle
Stewart" 1t was built for a residence by
foolish man, who thought he was going to
have the finest house in Washington Per-
haps he had wife and daughters who
wanted to get into society" 1 don't know.
At any rate, he bankrupted himself
somehow, and the house stands az
monument to Stewards folly That
was many years ago The great, un-
finished structure was then away out" in
the northwest of the city. 1t is now in the
heart of the most fashionable part of Wash
ington. Mr.. Blaines fine new house is in
this neighborhood, facing Dupont circle
When Castle Stewart was built, land in that
neighborhood was bought for a song. Ten
years ago it sold for twenty cents a foot
Now it is worth 81 to S5 foot and still
going up.
The Honorable William Crowninshield En-
dicott has pedigree without end. He is
direct descendant of Governor John Endi-
colt, if not of primordial protoplasmic Or
ganism, like the high lord in the ''Mikado."
Old John Endicott was governor OF Massa-
chusetts at intervals from 1923 up to 1865,
and was tremendous Puritan. He was SO
strictly religious that he had four Quakers
hanged for heresy while he was governor of
Massachusetts, colony. His great-great-great,
etc, grandson was appointed secretary of
war to please the MugwumDs. Happily old
Puritan John did not live to see it. He would
have hated Mugwump even as Quaker, if
not more.
There is another thing that would make
old John turn over in his grave if he knew it.
That is the house his great-great-great, etc,
grandson is living in. 1t is the reddest of
red Queen Anne mansions, SO called. Even
the window blinds are fiery red, instead of
those sober and godly tints which become
the descendant of the Puritans. Even the
stone trimmings of this unpious house are the
color of the scarlet woman. The building
belongs to Minister George Pendleton, and
Secretary Endicott rented it furnished.
Senator Pendleton was rich man, and some
of the handsomest entertainments of Wash
ington society used to be given here The
Pendletons had as much taste and hospi-
tality as money. They are of southern an
cestry. The New England blood will be put
to. its mettle to keep up the reputation of the
residence.

SAD Is tue sight, that city once so fairi
An nun lrel palaces lie ruined there;
her lofty towers are fallen, and creepars

Oer marble dome and shattered portico
Once, with their tinkling zones and painted
feet,
Gay bands of women throngsd the royal
Now throssia the night the hungry iaclsal
And seeks his scanty prey with angry
howls
Once there was music in the FLASHING wave
of lakes, where maidens loved their limbs
to lave;
But now these waters echo with the blows
Struck oy the horns of savage buffaloes.
Once the tame peacock showed his glitter

Mid waving branches, where he loved to
rest:
The ruthless fame has laid those branches
And marred his feathers and their golden
glow;
The drum Is sil,nt that hs loved to hear,
And gone the mistress whom he held so
dear.
Once on the marble floor girls loved to
The painted foot and leave its charming
trace;
Now the fell tigress stains, with dripping
gore
OF kids just slaughtered, that neglected
floor.
In those dear days, with tints of nature
warm,
In marble statues lived fair woman's form:
Alasl tho 20 tints aro faded now, and dim
And gathering dust obscures each rounIel

While the cast skins of serpents form a

The roofs are shattered, l, and with dust de.

Pure shine those rays and silvery, as of
yore,
But find thsir light refsctei thers no more.
Once in the gardens lovely girls, at play,
Culied the bright howers, AMI gently
touched the spray;
But now will creatures, in their savage
joy,
destroy
By night no torches in the win lows gleam;
By day no women in their beauty beam;
The smoke has ceased--the spider there has
spread
His snares in safety-and all else is dead.
