The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1897-09-23

The advantages enjoyed by Washington as
city of beautiful proportions arise from
the plans of which our first President was SO
much part, since in accordance with there
plans the city was plated before any build
ing of note had been erected.
The Capitol is surrounded by a park which,
since its final enlargement numbers 46 acres.
Every variety of native wood abounds
luXuriously.
On the hight where the Capitol stands is
steady slope towards the west of more than
so feet to the Potomac flats. From the east
front stretches away East Capitol street,
reaching out to its terminus at Lincoln Park,
the browning glory of which is the statue of
Lincoln striking the shackles from the slave.
A broad plaza connects the Capitol with
East Capitol street, and near the intersection
is marble statue Of Washington seated in a
curule chair, in the guise and attitude of a
Roman magistrate. 1t is not with admiration
that one gazes upon this statue; for, though
the genius of classic art was uppermost when
the Capitol and our earlier public buildings
were erected, yet there is something in this
statue, finely executed as it is, which is re-
pellent to our modern taste.

HIS is, UNDOUBTEDLY, THE MOST
thrilling book of the great civil war The
enterprise described possesses all the unity of
drama from the first plunge of the actors into
the enemy's country, through all their adven-
lures and changing fortunes until the few
survivors stood once more under the old flag
No single war story wildly presents so many
of the hidden. underground elements of the
struggle against rebellion as this From be-
ginning to end the readers attention never
wearies, and he rises from the perusal feeling
almost as if he had again lived through those
terrible days The adventures traversed the
Coniederacy in all directions; some persisted
as spies, all suffered terribly, and the wonder
is that any escaped alive.
