T } Over this bridge one dark® might—the most memorable ope ¢f tho year 1865—clattered the burried feet of a horse, spurred to its ntmost spoed by the guiliy desporate fagitive Jobn ‘Wilkes Booth, with his hacds fresh and reekjng ,from the blood of Abraham Lincoln. Tarough this forlorn-town his horse was pushed, and 1t seems a8 if the bane of the man's-passing evil Presence had carsed the place forever. Bome years ago, - nearly oppasite the Asylam, 0 effort was made to establish a firat-class race- _pourss, and all the horses in the vicinity of , Washington which had any pretensions to pedi- §ree wero bronght to try their speed on the .“Nations! " track. But the attemptwasfutile. and only drew togother largo herds of the dregs of lmanits, who fought and mado the place 50 disrernzsblo that reapectable persons wereafraid to Yenture soywhere in the vicinity, feehng their lives in jeopardy. It seems ench a contra~ Bictory thing, that while horses are universally ‘sckoowledgzod to be the mosf intelligent and . Boble of the animal kingdom, and tita nesrest approach to humanity, yot their most Tervent sdmirers are so frequently men of low and val- Zur tastes, sud 2t & borss-race the very warst spscimens of mortality alwavs congregate. A GOVERNMEXT PEOTEGE. The Insane Asylum is a large brick building, with a capacity for the accommodaticn of .absut €00 putients. The geneial supervision is in charge of the Becretary of the loter.or, asitis smpported by the Government, and intended for the use of army and pavy unfortunates and thoss oazed in the District of Columnbia, by the na~ towsad legislation of Congress, and itsconstant g}mfianuin our midst. Tne baulding i§ super~ tended by Dr. Nichols, and his wife is & lovely ‘woman of cult:vation, Who ornaments the dwali- Jing portion of the Asylnm with homelike charms of flowers and havdiwork., Ths sound of bili isrd-balls led to the discqyary that there aro six tables, which ars libermuy patronized by the pa- tiente. In passing, cpe man talled oat with wteotariau Jungs: **If you-re going to preach soy moze of thoss bad sermons, let's take up s contribution of 5 cents each!” Whether auy of our party wore mia:sterial solémnity of expres- o, or whether the man was recalling some of bis miserablo aiicmyts to interpret the Divine Word to his listeners when he was a Chaplain, I do, pot know, «lined to the latter belief. The building is 750 feet long, and very sub- stantially built and commodions in its internal amangements. It is swrounded by 419 acres of under s fine atate of culiivation; the 1rnit and vegetables raised thereon by the assist- ance of the patients disposed to such labar ars used on the tsble of the inslitution. In the rear e two buildings devoted to colored patients, 20d the evtize grounds, ss_green ss meralds but I am in- this_spring westher, are.inclosed hy walls of sotd masonry 9 fest high 5 by THE JEWELLS' PARTY. Tast week Wednesday & party was given by Gen. and Mra. Jewell to Mr. and Mrs. Sartoris, she former having asiled sinco to England, the latter to remain here quring the summer months with her family. Mrs. Sartoris wasnever pretty as Nellie Grant, butshe is lesssoss Mrs. Sartoris, ow- ing somewbat, mndoubtedly, to ber iil-health. On the evening of tho party, she'was dressed in = pule Javender sk, with 8 beaatiful overdress mod jue 6f Valenciennes. Airs. Grant worea white eilk trimmed with flounces of biack-thread lace, and Mrs. Robeson logxed mer and xmore Juno-like than nsnal iu her dress of heavy white &ilk: trimmed elaborately with black vel- et and her mlvery hiir arranged with artistic taste. President Grant was scanped closely by » Boston vouth, more given to taking fashioa- notes than storing Lis brain with the erudite Mimlwog that llughl_vhii.nlefleutnl “_fi;}h." “'fhe uian, =pplyiog his eye-giass with peculiar En -bred air, eaid: “ What kind of = collar sioes the President wear? By Jove, I want to 00 if he has anything new in that line {” ) AN ENVIABLE BLPUTATION. One of the most perfectly dressed young Indies present was Miss Sawyer, danghter of the ex-M. C. from Wisconsin. Her dress: was of wmhite silk, with cuirass jue fitting her slenaer, graceful figure like a giove, the eutire dress trimmed with the softest, daiotiest Geoheese lace. Miss Richardson and Miss Por- fer have been rival gueens of dress hers for two winters, but I think Miss Sawyer is beginning to touch the palm, and, if they do ot loak closely to their inurels, will triumphantiy bear off all £he trophies. ¥ THE LAST THE BEST OF ALL. . Mrs.. Belknap, the third wife of the War Becratary, wore a most exquisitely tinted apricot- wcolored gilk, particularly charming because self~ $rimmed, a0 utter absence of contrasting colors 2 ul' - relior.

During the last few woeks he has given us here an opportunity of hearing the greatest orchestral works, and also soms of the are most deserving attention. For this he de- serves the thanks and praise we should freely acoord to one who would spare us the necessity of visiting Europe to behold the masterpieces of workers in the plastic arté by bringing thess treasures to our very doors.

JANAUSCHEK. . Tho past week has not been especially noticea- Hle in’matters of amusement. The only festure worthy of remark has been the engagewment of Madame Janauschek at Hooley's Theatro. It was her second visit, and- after the firet night— s snowy, stormy, miserable night it was—the theatre was densely packed ab every perform- ance. Friday night, when *‘Deborsh” was played; the weatber was scriously cold aud gusty, but not sufficiently so to alter the sppesrance of the honse. It is a strange fact that & great many peopls. goto see Jansuschek play who seldom troubls themselves abont wnything or anybody else on the American stage. Janauschek cails ont the highest appreciation from all, for genius has no nationality; but the Germsns and Terselites v#o are seen only sl concer:s and tho opera discover aafficiont interest in Jsnsu- schek to go to the theatre - during her - engage- ment. The current of the play of **Deborsh™ naturally carries with it the sympathies. of this clasg, aud the heartiness of their enjoyment of it shows itself clesrly. Perhaps manzgers may tako the hint given by such a house as that of Friday night, and reslize that there are plenty of people to be foand who will support a theatro, provided thare is sometking_for them to see. “ Chesnoy Wold,” in which Madame Jansuschek plays o donble role, is a'favorite with American audiences. Btrange to say, the representation of the character of the mercurial Horlense gives more _popular pleasure than that of ZLady Dedlock. Both sre remarkablo picces of acting, but the cold exterior which suggests & buwricane of pasiion fettered by breeding and guarded by intelligence seems t0 be tho higher s0d more fascinating picce of acting. Her Elizabeth is s character of much maseive strength, but she labors under the dis- advantage of not looking Afarie Stuart. It is gratitying to think Hooley's Theatre has been filled every night this week but one, and pleas- ant that Hooley should have seen it, just to have proof that the honse can be filled when thereia eome reason for it. Perhaps our home company which is 80 so0on toleave us will fill it for him be- foro 1t starls for the West. Ithas not been doing well in Cloveland. The peopls were playmng aganst Joe Jefferson, but even he did not draw ss he has in smaller cities than Cleveland.” It is not fair, therefore, to apply their want of success there as a crite rion of their exceilence as measured by the im- pertial minds of strangers. Now that they re- turn for farewell (and there sre no benefits aangunced for thg present) they should have & good atfendance, Tor Maguiro is coming, When pobody will fee] mucb intercst in tho place. There has not been much opposition to Madame Janauechek this week, for, viewed from the msthetic standpoint whence all observations should bo taken, the couater-attractions have | been Eiulnlly im&ount.

But they have not developed any great degres of talent, not more than could be expected of amateurs. The truthjs, their facnties are cramped in. the tame and almost dreary play in which they attempt to make them felt, ‘ghal thoy really require is & piece with some stir in it. - There are some suggestions of violence, Buck ‘as when Afaggs bolaly drives into a parlor® aod abdacta’ # protty girl in striped stockings, but after “Jack Harkaway ” thisia dull.
