pile Of red stone, on the bluff over the
eastern branch of the Potomac, is the
St. Elizabeth hospital for the insane.
it is a government institution, and is
splendidly kept. Numbers of the unfor-
tuuates as well as cranks of Washington
are in that asylum. There is Col Burn
side, the defaulting disbursing officer
OF the post Office department He is
really man with an unbalanced mind /;
formerly one of Washington's foremost
citizens. In the same asylum is Col.
Maurice Piuchover, the man whose lit
tie losses Of property involved the dom
iuant thought on his mind, and stamped
it on his active brain, that he had been
swindled out of untold millions by
Tom Scott, the great railroad king
Many time and oft have heard Pinch
over declaim for the delectation of the
little crowds of curious people in the
hotel lobbies, demanding the return of
his money from Scott and all other rail-
road thieves, as he expressed it. Once
he was induced to believe that he had
been elected TO congress, and that Scott

he walked, before the opening Of the
morning session, and it required force
TO eject him from the seat to which he
believed he had been elected. Poor old
"Pinch!" He was once a bright fellow.
He believes now he is confined and kept
in the asylum because of the influence
of wealthy enemies who are using and
fattening off his property.
But we pass the asylum and approach
Ciesboro Point. This little wharf, as |
was saying. is the remnant of the great
landing places for Camp Stoneman dur
ing the war. 1t was cavalry dismount
camp. That is, the sick and wounded
tevalrymen from the army of the Poto-
mac were sent here for final rest and re- /
.uperation, after they began to con

seen service, and were recuperating for
further hardships. They deserved their
little play days.
Over there to the right, that steeple
which you see peeping over the Alex
andria hilltops is the tall tower of
Fairfax seminary. Fairfax seminary
has a history; a war history, too. In
the offices of the surgeon general there
are records showing that no less than
10000 sick and wounded soldiers were
treated in Fairfax seminary general
| hospital. After the battle of the Will
/ derness, on May 5-S, 1864, when the
/ hospitals of Alexandria were full, Fair
| fax seminary was thrown open to the
sufferers and was fitted up as a hos
pital; and here the poor fellows were
brought, many of them famed into
! life by the breezes from the Potomac,
which always sweep over these hills.
And now we are passing sleepy old
Alexandria, with her grass-grown
streets. There are many historical OBJ
jects in the old town, which we must
see some day. There is Christ church,
with its unchanged pews, wherein wor-
SHIPPED George Washington, of Mount
Vernon, and Robert E. Lee, of Ar
lingtOn Heights. There is the old Mar
shall house, up King street, where the
gallant and foolhardy Ellsworth was
killed by Jackson, the proprietor, who
was in turn shot down by Sergt. Brow
nell, Jackson's daughter, most beau
tiful girl, is employed in a government
department at Washington.
Do you see that little bit of an island
no bigger than mans hand, down the
river about half a mile? There is one
tree on it and about ten feet of gress
on either side of the tree. 1t is about
20 feet square. That is Craney island,
Only few years ago it was a splendid
island, containing about IS acres of
good ground, with house and out,
houses upon it. The last purchaser has
lost his investment Gradually the Po-
tomac has eaten and swallowed the
island. All that is left in sight is the
tree which you can see. That used to be
a great place to go fishing and splen-
did covert from which to shoot ducks
1t is soon to be one of the things of the
past.
The bell tolls, and all steamer bells
toll, as we pass Mount Vernon, where
lies the body of George Washington. We
have had quite a trip down the Potomac.
and it has been delightfully."- cool ever
since the steamer started. Now we
will stop, if you please, at Glvmont |
That is one of the many landings where |
the eNcursionist stops and spends an
hour or two in the pavilion, under the |
trees, on the water in small boats, or in
the sporting and shooting galleries.
But let us return. 1t is cool here at |
Glymont, and it is equally delightful
at Marshall Hall, Mount Vernon,
Blacldston's island, and the other
places where the excursionists have
gone But as evening approaches, we
want another Whit of river air. and

No Reason to Rejoice

1t is a comfortable day when cotton
does not fall an eighth. Cotton has de-
clined $3.50 per bale in the last three
months, which means a loss of about
s5O,OOO,OOO on an ordinary crop. Dur
ing that time flour has risen more than
81 per barrel, and almost everything
the cotton-grower has to buy is steadily
advancing in price. Prosperity may be
here, but it is the prosperity of fnan-
