ble man? Gen. Myer is one of the sue
cessful members of the Lower House, and
one to whom the District of Columbia
owes much in the way of local improve
nents. For several congresses past he
has served on the District Committee and
is one Of its few members who believe in
liberal appropriations to beautify the seat
of our government. Said he: THE day is
not distant when Washington will be the

lief soldiers marching around half way
up its walls, forms an interesting topic;
and the story is not omitted of Gen. Phil
Sheridans opinion of its architectural
merit, ais privately conveyed to Gen
Meigs, the architect in the words, "'Tis
only fit to stable horses; together with
the fact that in military circles it has
ever since been known as "Meigs barn. .
Louisiana avenue, now mainly given over
to shabby auction rooms, the police court
and third rate restaurants, presents many
objects of historical note, which most res
idents of Washington have forgotten all
about, if they ever knew. Among them
is the Webster house, where the distin-
guished statesman lived, and from whose
balcony he delivered his last public ora
ton, the monument 10 Lincoln, in front
of the city hall; the stable whereat Booth
purchased the horse for the memorable
ride. In the same connection, but later
on in the journey, you visit the arsenal
where Mrs Surrat and other alleged con-
spirators were hung-and brood over that
national disgrace of the hanging of wo-
man for the crime of keeping a board

The Capitol and the magnificent library
OF congress develop many piquant fea-
lures, even to Washingtonians who have
long considered them an old story about
which nothing new can possibly be said.
The versatile conductor tells how the
beautiful grounds, the poetry of land
scape gardening, are the same to-day as
when Thomas Jefferson took his oath OF
Office, a hundred years ago-fnany of the
primeval trees, old even then-being the
same under which the tribes Of the for
est encamped. He tells the weight, in
tons, of the Goddess of Liberty, on top
of the dome; and that the iron plates of
the dome interlaD, like the petals of a
colossal lily to allow for the atmospheric
effect of contraction and expansion; he
dilates upon the forty miles of shelving in
the library, the enormous cost Of the edi-
fee, and the artists who have adorned it,
Capitol Hill is a mine of interest. You see
the house which George Washington built
and occupied: The residence of Senator
"PitchforkA Tillmani the white marble
palace of the lady whose fortune was
made I'm retailing milk; John Shermans
Row." in which gas was first introduced
in Washington; the old capital prison; the
modest house where Garfield lived when

KENTUcKY's NAME NEEDS NO DEFENsE.
The honored name of Kentucky needs
no defense at my hands. Her history is
one of which we are justly proud. Over
a hundred years ago she became Com
monwealth in the American Union, aud
pioneer citizens cleared the forests, built
homes, schools, churches, established
civil government and quickly placed her
among the first States ofthe Union. Her
people are brave, generous, hospitable
and obedient to the law. Life, liberty
and property are as safe within her Dor
ders a. anywhere on earth. Only one
time in her history were these blessings
threatened, and that was brought about
by these two fugitives whom you harbor
and some of their associates. II was
then, too, that the great body of Ken
tuckians showed their splendid character
their forbearance and their profound res
pect for the law and the constituted au-
thorities, and it was their patient courage
at such critical time that brought order
out OF chaos, government out of anarchy.
Such people as these could neither be
helped by your praise nor harmed by
your scurrilous abuse, and such a people
would never knowingly permit anyone to
be unjustly deprived of life or liberty.
