Washington Letter.

One hundred years since this place
became the seat of developing repub-
lie. Then it was constituted of a few
houses, the native hills and dales, the
swamps of the Potomac, the forests
and wild game, and the very essence of
great people in its magnificent pros
poets; now it is one of two or three of
the most beautiful cities in the world.
Its beauty is the result of position, nat
ural scenery, plan, parks, statuary, pub
lie buildings, cleanliness, high average
of elegance in private residences and
the absence of the usual city slum ele-
ment. There are no manufactures, in
the general sense, in the city; and the
few which are here ought to be abated
az nuisances. Washington is not q
modern city; it is a beautiful, almost
enhancing, large town. Its crown Of
glory is its public buildings. AS the
hills stood about old Jerusalem, giving
it dignity, SO the buildings of this city
give it prominence. The Capitol the
gorgeous Library, the stately Post
Office structure, the grecian Treasury
and Interior buildings, the magnificent
State, War and Navy edifice, the White
House, the Smithsonian Institute with
its Norman architecture, and the Cor
coran Art Gallery in its marble ele-
gance, all declare the glory and beauty
of the Nations Capital. There are
many other public buildings here which
will not be missed when they are gath
cred into the limbo of the forgotten
things, and more elaborated structures
have replaced them. The White House
is an historical structure and one that
every patriotic citizen will ever desire
to have retained. But it is too small
for its surposes. The general idea,
now in the minds of those having the
convenience, beauty and historical val
ue of the city in view, is to enlarge the
present building by suitable additions,
not changing in the least the present
old structure, so as to make it a proper
Executive workshop; and then erect
large, grand and noble Presidential
mansion, for the convenience of the
President and his household and for
