The plan of Washington has been ridi- culed for its vastness, and it may have seemed ridieulous to have a few thousand people seat- tered over a plaee that would lodge a million, and call it a city, But the designers of Was! ington bad caleulated for futurity, and al- ready it is beginning to show that it will be large enough for its plan. Within the past fifteen years its population has more than doubled, and many of the present generation will live to see ita compact and elegant city of haps several hundred thousand inhabitants, The plan, besides being vast, is perhaps the finest ever conceived for a great metropolis. P. in spite of its Boulevards, its Rue de , Rivoli and its Champs Elysees, can never be made as superb acity as Washington must become in the course of centuries. The uni- versally wide, straight streets. and the grand avenues radiating from the Capitol and the President's House, give it an advantage in variety and in circulation that no European capitol possesses, and of which, even we, in rectangular but beautifal Philadelphia, must forever be deprived. There is no grander urban prospect in the world than that pre sented to the spectator from the capitol even atthe presenttime. The city lies at his feet, and Pennsylvania avenue stretches out be- fore him. even its mean-looking houses ac- quiring a sort of beauty as being component parts of avista. Vistas are always beautiful, and this one, terminating with the President’s House and the Treasury in the distance, will, at some future day, be one of the most bea tiful in the world. After some notice of the works of art here, the article | eres with an intimation to the residents of Washington, that they should not depend tooconclusively upon Government sup- port. ‘fhere is no reason why commerce and manufactures should not flourish in Washing- ton as well as in Baltimore; and individual enterprise, should go hand in hand with that of Government in enlarging the resources of the place and increasing the inducements fur people to reside there. The vast expenditure of late years upon public buildings makes it almost certain that the Government will never be removed from Washington, and indeed the extension of railroads and telepraphs destroys the force of the chief arguments in favor of such removal. So the people of Washington can safely employ theircapital in home invest- ments that will be of material advantage, and feel secure that there is no danger of a re-action or of loss from the removal of the seat of gov- ernment. been a heavy northerin the Gulf; the British Barque Dagger went ashore on Christmas dey near Vera Cruz and was totally lost.

[373 WENTY PER CENT SAVED BY PUR- CHASING FOR CAS8H.—It is now uni- versally acknowledged that my establishment is the place to buy goods cheap, and as I wish to sustain that justly merited confidence, I now pro pose to reduce my present valuable and extensive stock of Foreign and Domestic DRY GOODS by selling off at an immense sacrifice to myself, and we have rejoiced to hear that many of our prominent christians, who believe in works as well as furth have acted the glorious part of the Goed Samaritan during the present in- clement season. The cold, the hungry, the sick und the suffering have been promptly re- lieved by these true disciples of Him who “‘went about deing good’’—alas! that their ranks have not been full. One family, the members of which make ‘long prayers, and thank God they are not as other men are,’’ have actually evaded the payment of a wash- ing bill, due to a poor mulatto woman, who is sick, and needs the pittance thus withheld! Shame on such hypocricy says the Star, and we will ‘‘speak right out in meeting,’ Quaker fashion, if this hint does not produce the de- sired effect.
