glish order which he has seen, either in
America or England.
The new Clifton" was rebuilt upon the
site of the DID, but upon foundations more
than twice as spacious and Of the attrac-
tive blue gpeiss, which abouu Is along Rock
creek, The trimmings in sandstone were

The lofty pointed tower at the corner pos
sessng the finest range of vision faces the
south, which leaves the other angles Of the
mansion ranging with engineering accu-
racy upon the remaining points of the
compass.
The interior of the mansion is not only
as imposing as the exterior, but with the
establishment of art is even more attrac-
tive, II that were possible.
