But at daylight this illusion vanishes. The marks of good intention and noble design are cvery- where cl sy but those of fulfilment are no- where to be found. All is inchoate, stra; sling, confused, heterogeneous, incomplete = the same street are to be found a apicndid marble edifice of a magnitude such as would makeit the ornament of any bes er in the world; while op- posite, and on each side of it, are low brick houses, erazy wooden sheds, and filthy pigsties, suggestive of the Milesian element in the pop- ulation ; such a street is F street, in which the Patent Office is situated ; and such streets are Hand [ streets, where the diplomatic corps aud the fashion of Washington bave taken up their residence. And here it may be men- tioned that the founders cf the city seem to have exhausted their inventive ingenuity when they named the principal streets afier the States of the Union. Having taxed their ima- xination to this extent, or having no imagina- tion at all, they resorted to the letters of the alphabet as a mode of nomenclature. When they had exhausted thess—an easy matter ia a growing city—they brought arithmetic to the rescue of their poverty, as was done in New York, Philadelphia, and other cities. Thus, in receiving cards and returning visits, the Stranger may not unfrequently find that he has been called upon by Mr. Jones, of No. 99 Ninety-ninth street ; or must visit Mr. Brown, at No. 3 Third street, or Mr. Smith. at No. 22 Twenty-second street. The systéin has its ad- vantages, no doubt, but is somewhat stiff and mathematical, and ignores a very cheap but very effective mode of rendering honor to the great men of the country, living or d-al—the giving of their nanies to the public thurough- fares. If Washington gave his name io the city, why should not the names of othor great men ee to its streets? esides its noble Capitol, with its towering dome, Washington possesses many clegant _— buildings, such as the White House, or sxecutive Mansion, the Treasury Buildings, the Patent Office, and the Post Office. Were those edifices, which are mostly of white mar- ble, concentrated, as they might and ought to have been, in op pee artery of Pennsylvania avenue, instead of being scattered over various portions of the e.ty, Washington might have possessed at least one stPeet to rival or sur- pass the Rue de Rivoli in Paris. But the op- portunity haa been lost, and can never again recur. Still, it is impossible not to believe that Washington will yet become the most splendid city on this continent. It has all the elements of beauty as well of greatni both in itself and in its imuediate envirm;; and when it becomes as populous as New York, which it is likely to be in less than fifty years, the infe- rior buildings that line its spncivus streets will parry er and its ‘‘ magnificent distances” will be adorned with an architecture worthy of the capital of fifty, or perhaps of a hundred, young and vigorous republics. The site ot Washington was chosen by George Washington himself, who laid the corner-stone of the Capitol on the Isth of September, 1793. At that time, and for some years afterwards, the sittings of the legislature were held in In- dependence Hall, Philadelphia. The city stands in the District of Columbia. in territory ceded for the purpose by the Commonwealth of Vir- ginia and Maryland, and covers an area of sixty square miles; but, in 1846, forty square mites wore restored to the Commonwealth. The design, as well as the location of the city, is due to the genius of General Washington, un- der whose directions the plans were execated by Major L’Enfant. ‘fhe limits extend from northwest to southeast about ruur miles and a half, and from east to southwest about two miles and ahalf. The circumference of the city is fourteen miles, and the agzregate length of the streets is computed at 1) miles, and of the avenues sixty-five miles; and the average =— is from seventy to one hundred and ten eet The original Capitol was so much damaged by the British invading force in the unfortu- nate war of 1814, that in the following year it was found necessary to reconstruct it. ie 1828 it was entirely repaired; and in 1851, be- ing found insufficient for the increasing busi- nessof the nation, it was determined to add two wiogs to it, whieh are at the present time in process of construction The Capitol eon- tains the halls or chambers of the Seuate and the House ef Representatives—the former num- bers 64, and thie latter about 250 members. It also contains the hall of the Supreme Conrt, where nine judges, robed, but not bewigged— and the only functionaries, except those of the army and navy, who wear an official costume — sit to administer justiee, and to control and regulate the whole action of the government iInamanner quite unknown to the constitu- tion of Great Britain. The Capitol is built of pure white marble, which gleams in the sun- shine of this beautiful climate in a manner ae to the eyes of any Englishman accus- to the murky sombreness of the public monuments of Loi dn The White House, or President's mansion, is of free-stone, painted white in imitation of marble. It is a plain but elegant building, befitting the unprepending dignity of the popu- lar Chief Magistrate of a country where gov: ernment is minimized, and where the trappings and paraphernalia of State and offiee are un- known and uncongenial. Here the President —a man who possesses, during his term of office, a far greater amount of power and pa- tronage than the sovereign of any State in | Europe, except the Emperors of France, Rus- ia, and Austria—transacts, without any un- necessary forms, and with no formality or cere- mony at all, the business of his great and growingdominion. Here be receives, at stated days and periods, ladies or gentlemen who choose to call upon him, either for business or pleasure, or from mere curiosity. Here he shakes hands with the courtly and urbane am- bassador of European powers, or with the veriest “rowdy’’ from New York, and ‘“plug- ugly’? from ltimore, who either have, or faney they have, business with him ; and that, too, without the necessity of a personal intro- daction. There is no man in the U. who bas such «quantity of hand-shaking to get through as the President. Throughout the whole country everybody shikes hands with everybody else, though ladies are far more ebary of the privilege than the ruder sex. If the gentlemen would but shake hands less, and the ladies would shake hands a little ates | with the Chief Magistrate, and receiving a po- lite, and in many instances a cordial reception. Whether they reesived anything else, at that or at any future time, or whether they still linger on, feeding upon hope deferred, which makes the heart sick, is best known to them- selves; but I saw enough toeonrince me that it is not an easy thing to be a popular Presi- dent. e+e A Conoxer Soup.—The welfare of people who have the misfortune to get into station houses, and to be triiafersed: late at night, from those institutions to the city prison, by the “Black Maria,” is under the supervision of a self-constituted committee of citizens—a com- mittee varying in number from six to sixty, the variation being governed by those of the thermo- meter and barometer. Last evening the mew- hers of this committee, who assembled in un- usual numbers on the sidewalk by the prison, were profoundly grieved and in some degree incensed at the bad conduct of Major Barker. who commands the above named cart. That offeial drew from his cart the body of a man whe might have been dead, or very dead drank, so fur as appearance indicated—dragged the body by tho heeis out of the cart on to the stde- walk, down the steps and into the dungeon. Were the body dead or alive, such conduct was enough to move the committee to words, if not deeds, and the story was nut slow to travel il it reached the ears of one of the most en- og pte of our coroners, a member of the 7 M.and I. T. Y. Ciub. His spirit was willing, and though his flesh is not weak, itis not of the sort favorable to the performance of the wonderful feats in the way of speed, yet, in an almost incredibly short spave of time, he reached the Tombs, when he wasshown the vis- tim of the tough major’s brutality. The case looked like a good one—for the coroner we mean, not for its owner,—and the coroner pro- ceeded to make a preliminary examination, probably to find if there was need of services of another member of his association, to make & post-mortem examination. ihe body was apparently that of a fireman, a member of ‘Hose Company No. 2,”’ as a badge on the hat indicated, and was obviously, from its dress and general appearance, that of a person of the Mose-aic character. The coroner, to his joy, could discover no signs of life, nor, as he pursued his researches could he discover any signs of death, for tea1- ing away the dress he found only a bundle of straw. Hurriedly, with eyes suffused with tears, the coroner retired, leaving the body ashe left others bodies not of flesh, with perhaps a feling cf disappointment. The man of straw Was “arrested’’ while hanging from atelegraph wire by officers of the fourth police, and was committed to the Tombs, we know not why.— Boston Post. ——$—$—_________. > The “note and query’? department in hewspapers—especially the hebdomadals—fur- nishes a tedious amount of ignorance, imbe- cility, verdancy, imprudence and nonsense.

Since that time a muc more complete instrument of the kind has been found in the possession of a returned convict at Manchester. The instrument found in London could simply drill a small bole through the iron door of @ safe: that seized in Manchester cuts out a piece of iron at one operation through which a man’s hand may be inserted. The invention and workmanship are such as might have been turned out only at one of our first rate machine shops. The instrument bas been tried by Messrs. Chubb, the iron safe makers, who fvund that it would cut a piece out of a quarter-inch iron door in four hundred revolutions of the levers by which it is worked, or in an hour; and it had cut @ piece from a plate half inch in thickness without being in the least injured or rendered inefficient for further use. A singular fact in the case is, that in the thief’s valise in which the latter instru- ment was found, was also discovered a cogwheel | belonging to the instrament seized in Lon- | don, and connecting the person having the one machine with the owner oftheother. The per- son in whose possession the machine was found in Manchester escaped punishment because he was in a dwelling-house with it when taken; | had he been taken with it in the streets he | could have been reached by the law. | Wewoece Hones on Coxtrovensy.— If | a fellow attacked my opinions in print would I repy’ Not I.
