General Henry A. Wise, "the fearless
tribune of the people; Honest John

to Mr.. Lincoln's call on Nirgisia for her

THE SUBURBS.

will find even greater changes than break

obliterated from existence, but al
most from memory. 1t was a
trottlng park in 1851. and became
one OF the first great camps of the Con-
federates. Afterwards IT became a hos

present Reservoir street between Cary

known. Occasionally some one engaged in

residences: low-grounds for gardens and
farming lands. and all the conditions
for greater healthfl1ness than could be
hoped for lower down the river. In full

THE CITY IN RUINS.

THE CITY IN RUINS.
The view of Richmond in ruins is taken
from the south side OF the basin, now
mostly filled up and a large part occupied
by the freight depot OF the James-Riyer
division of the Chesapeake and Ohio rail-
way. The spire seen on the extreme left
is that Of St. PauPs church. TO the right
OF it we see the belfry of the Dollhouse in
the Capitol Square. Looking over the
trees in the Capitol Square we see the
splre Of the First Presbyterian church
and that Of the Broad-Street Methodist
church. Further to the right stands the
Capitol. and to the right of that the GUS
tom-house. All else included i'm the view
Is in ruins.
AS THE CITY APPEARS TO-DAY.
The second picture-that printed on the
lower half of the page-is a view OF the
river front of Richmond as it appears to-
day. The bridges shown In this illustra-
ton are. first, Mayo's, with the street
car upon 1t: next 10 the left the Rich
mond and Danvile railroad bridge. with
the locomotive upon il: next the Free
bridge; next the Richmond and Peters
burg railroad bridge; next the Tredegar

Isle. On the extreme left OF the pic
ture is a clump OF trees showing small
section Of Hollywood Cemetery. Running
the eye to the right we see the tall towers
and the innumerable windows Of the JEFF
ferson Hotel. Next the Masonic Temple,
with it's short cone-shaped tower; next
Pratt's castle. on the edge of Candles
Hill Park: next the Chesapeake and Ohio
elevator, and near by it the Gallego. HaX-

thereto is the State Library. In the Capt.

buildings. and for time played great
havoc with citizens lives and property.
The war over, Richmond was incorpo-
rated as a city. and few years later the
foundations OF the State Capitol were
laid. Year by year, the city grew at
quiet. easy, steady-going pace, and IN
1850. when We were coming face To face
with the war between the States. its
population was put down by the United
States census at 1900.
ITS MAKING AND UNMAKING.
The Confederate war was the making
and almost the unmaking OF Richmond.
From 1861 to 1866, as the capital OF the
Confederacy. the city was metropolis
such as she had never been before. and
her name became known 10 all OF the
word. Hither focked people from all
sections OF the South. Here also came
refugees from all portions OF Virginia,
flying with scant stores Of household
goods before the sabres of the enemy's
cavalry advances. About us the armies
camped and around US battles were
fought From north Of Richmond to
south OF Petersburg were two lines OF
bristling bayonets. and on many fields
the men who held these weapons used
them with due diligence. And at last,
when human valor had proved itself un-
equal TO our task at last. when the Con-
federacy was crumbling into ruins, Rich
mond's glory as a nations capital de-
parted in the smoke OF hundreds OF her
business-houses, and she was in ashes
literally and flgurativey.
Yes, this IS historic city. From the
time when at "the falles' was the fur
thest frontier settlement; through the
days OF Indian warfare. when every man
went to his plow or to church with his
gun in his hand and was lucky to have
his scalp on his head at night; past the
