THE NATIONAL LIBRARY.
The sp!endor and magniticcnce OF the
Library Of Congress are simply beyond
description. We were fortunate in see
ing this brilliantly lighted at night,
when II. 09o visitors did not make too
much ofa crowd. The building has no
>upcriorof its kind in this world and
cost over S6.000.00 1t covers eight
acres Of ground and is superbly magniti-
cent There is no dazzling glare and
blindness. no sense Of confusion and
ShapeieSs immensity. \ thinking per
son is awedan silenced by this nobIy
magnificent work of man. Stately and
grandit stands, perfectly comprchcnsl-
bic IN all Of its costly finish and parts.
Every detail a perfect part OF one stu
pendouS whole. ana Yet words cannot
describe this proud building. My Wild
esc boyi>h dreams Of the wonders and
beauties Of .llladin fairy palace did not
approach wha, | here saw with mine
eyes. Grand and massive in design
and proportion. exquisite IN Its lnnum-
cradle and many voiced details. as per
feet in finish and taste as It Is IN de-
sign and workmanship, II Is 4 golden,
gliltering, magnificent structure OF
which any American could and should
be proud. Its bronze doors. succeed
ceilings. mosaic floor. with pictures IN

memorial names and figures. precious
stones and woods, crystal Splendors.
golden dome its symbols, parilions Of
arts. sciences and literature. its many
and dclicately Sculptured beauties, its
galleries Of treasures, its volumes. its
purposes. its future-all are alike useful
and beautiful. and the unity Of the
great and perfect whole is truly 4 grand
tribute to the American people.
THE .'ISNocENTS SEE MANY THINGS.
The National Museum had its visitors
from our party. those who had seen it
before and those who had not. This
building was also thronged with tired
looking teachers. who seemed to have
forgotten pleasure entirely. The OBJ
iectS ofintereSt here are familiar to all
and need no further description. 1t may
be we'll 10 add that in the cabinet con-
tanning the souvenirs Of President Grant.
his name is spelled with small first
let,eron the card recounting the his
tory OF his Chattanooga sword.
Wherever you Went in Washington
SDecial objects of interest claimed atten-
ZION. Day or night. If one only sat still
in a chair and looked and listened. he

Tbere we're only two sorts of ladies visi-

nearly all women are adopts in the art Of
dressing and in city this great differ

visible.
The most DISTINGUISHED looking men
in Washington are not Congressman.
Senators and Cabinet officers. They are
more apt TO be head walters at hotels and
walters" of al kinds. Walters for
office innumbers cagerncss and anxiety
head the list. Walters for tomorrow
are too numerous TO count. These are
ever building and spelling and building
again, and their comtenances betray
them. Walters for fortune are here.
walters forsomething new underthe sun,
walters innumerable IN the vast. moving
throng for that one event which comes
to all and which. at last. will not even
disappoint theseoft dismayed. but never
crushed and hopeless walters for other
things which never come unto them.
OVER THE BoUNDLESs SEA.
From Washington we went to Balti-
