It was the sickening smell from the poultice pavement bollers set up by the coatracto: allover Washington; for at that time the elty, by the common consent of the Boani of Health and the District officials, was given over wholly tothe devil and all bis asphalt works. The season had beea so cool ant Pleasant in Washington that bat for this nau eating nuisance there was reilly not much excuse for leaving the city, for “ve summer resorts. SARATOGA. Reaching New York at six o'clock the ext morning, @ transfer io the next Slip took us on board the day boat to | Albany, affording a view of the American Rhine by daylight. Meals, and vei; tolera- bie one, are supplied on the Hadson river boats on the European plan. Tae vetaran old Gaye oats, the Chauncey Vibbani and | Danie! Drew are still doing duty. Lae travel | op them this year seems somewhat lighter than in years past; at any rate, the supply of deck cbairs was equal to t temand, tor the first time in my experience on the Hadsou. As usual at Wiis timeof the year the boa worked slow on nearing Albany, on acco: of the shallow water. We reached Saratoga (by rail from Albany) at 9p. m., and fou that most cheerful spot on the American cox linent in the height of its season, with ali its leading hotels nearly “fell 1 he Sara. toga season opened rather siowly, and “the strike” is Caurged with hav.ug retarlet its development, but at the muldle of Aagust | was up to ifs best marx. It has be marked by veteran observers experi travel that one can get more for his at Saratoga, in the way ot ch >rfal j ‘ood fare, aud all the couforts that go than at aay other nmeet pleasan’ pleasure resort in the c: ntry. Oare at Saratoga more people worth Kk than anywhere else, with the possi tion of Washington. And it is by no ace d+ nt, orgift of nature solely, that Saratoga is thus attractive. WHAT THEY DO AT SARATOGA. { A few men tuterested in the prosperity of | Saratoga, foremost among them Joha Mor- | rissey, (who, whatever else may b? said about him, is @ most enterprising citi are untiring in maxing the place delight! toevery sense. Toe luxurious drives lend out from the village for miles in every diree- tion are lined with watering carts, and squads of men are eyery where at hand ip re- move apy chanc? pebble from the roalway. The same thoughtful provision is noted ts regard to everything affecting the health and comfort of visitors. In uine years 200,00) has been spent in drainage and seweraze for the place. At the superb and admirably managed race course one sees Joha Morris- sey, ex-shoulder-hitter, performing the wo of a dozen policemen {n maintaining order. | Isaw him at one time walking a couple of robust members of the swell-moh off the ground, *nd @ little later he was compailing the grand army of demonstrative hackmen to come quietly into line for the reception of thelr fares. Thehotel management at Sara- toga has been noted for liberality id every year marks new features of improvem sat ih this respect. THE GRAND UNION, the pet of the late A. T. Stewart, and upon which all the vast resources of his New York establishment were lavished In the way of luxurieus furniture, upholstery, &>., has been greatly enlarged, and is now aaloubt- edly the largest hotel in the worll; to faci it is aid to cover five times more ground than any other hotel in the world. It nas besa furnished on the sama magnificent seale and it would seer that the ingenuity of the universal Yavkee nation had been tax od to invent appliances to promote the easz, com fort, appetite and digestion of tie guests. The statistics of the requirements for butld. ing, furnishing and running this immense establitument would fill a book, and I will not enter upon them in detail, bat I will give a single item setting forth the list of ar ‘cies used in the Graud Union ia @ single season. They were as follows , ** +, 15,335; fowl, (5,20; cream, gallons, butter, 1b: r, barrels, 4 16,024; spring abe. 2; come f the hotel was enlarged, and the supplies this year were on a yet more colossal scale. I see that Judge Hilton is disposed to claim that the success of the season at the Grand Union is due to the exclusion of Jews of the Seligman ‘ype, but probably this had very little to do with it one way or the other, The traveling public are api to go where ibsy Will be the best accommodated, without much regard to sentimental considerations. Visitors naturally gravi*\te to the Grand Union as the largest, movt central, and alto- ge ser the best Rept hotel. It is —_ by Henry Clair, for many years counected with A, T. Stewart's wholesale store, aud William Wilkinson (a gentleman well known in Washington) of twenty years’ experience in hotel business. A DOUBTFUL “IMPROVEMENT.” Among the “improvements” at Saratoza is one which is bardly entitled \@ praise, be- ing in the line of the growing tendency ia this country to fence in everytuing of public attraction and make it a pay show. Tae pretty littie park surrounding the Congress Spring bas been fenced in and ma te a perfect little beauty spot through the dressing up of Its natural charms; but alas! one fs nov halted at the entrancs forten cents admis- sion fee. It should be rdded that acess to the water ef tne Congress spring is still at forded without charge, but it is obtained by descending some slepa and entering & cramped little “cubby-hole;” altogether giv- iny the Impression that the purpose had been by making it so -nconvenient aud repulsive ak to compe! visitors to go through the pay entrance. This Congress park feature seems to be an anomaly at Saratoga in the way of exclusiveness, and itis to be hoped, for the ioterests of the Unpreioy that this siyle of “im- provement” will not spread. LAKE GEORGE. Another new wrinkle is the establishmeat of an excursion line to Lake George, by whieh that most picturesque of American lakes is made a sort of side-show for Sar: - toga. Heretofore, in visiting Like George, it was uisite to spend at least one night at Caldwell on the lake, but by the new ar- rangement oue can lea: morn ; dine at Fort ub gers tke Tall engin f the lake to e o' @ Caldwell, ‘where they sre transi and thence b; rail t Saratoga, reaching tu e latter place about € p.m.of theeameday, This excursion frp, business works well for » but ly for the Lake as the tegrated at Ticonde: ) is id of the most varied a oue ad charming that can be supplied im a single day. One misses, however, the deligutfat feature of the . saraboat trip on the hsad waters of Lake Champlain, Waitehat! to Ticonderoga, that used to form a of the trip to Lake George. Thts narrow river- like portion of Ike Champiain, taking its sinuous course by turns through bold moun- tain masses, smiling valleys, aod beautiful many = more delight- ful than its famous neighbor, Lyke G: orge.

UNVEILING OF THE SOLDIERS’ MONT MENT—SPE}CHES BY AND OTHE #8 At So'clock yesterday morning the presi- dential party in carriages leti the residence of Mr. Anderson, in Dayton, O, forthe Sol- diers’ Home, escorted through the city by the military. They arrived at 9:30, and were received by the Brown Guards and witha salute of twenty-one guns, A grand review followed n° irly 3,000 Veterans being in line. mi Was thea escorted bere Col. Brown, governor of the Home, read & short address of welcome THE PRESIDENT | Gen B. F. Bactler, president of the boan! of managers, then made an address to the so! diers, after which he tntrcduced President Hayes as ‘a distinguished eitizen of this state, now at the head of the greatest and most powerful government in the world.” After prolongcd cheering by the crowd the President spoke brietly as follows THE PRESIDENTS REMARKS. “Comradi fellow-cilizens greeting I know Is not a person: bis large assembla, s of the volunteer arin, citizens who sympathi by this welcome @ which their respect Tithe time being hax uy nd their patrio:> attac to the gover uveat of the Unit: 1 Sta i e bra a fou store tt of the fathers, ani to makr perpetual ! ¢ whieh the £ services 4 sacrifices will alwava be rm affection and ude, and good men and women will pray that the Sap Ruler of verse will forever have t his speciai care and keer Speeches were also m: ys ot War McCrary, Chief Jusice Wait Gen.

After prayer @ chorus of 200 voice; sang the Freedom's anthem, accompan'el by the Home band. President Hayes was then preserte to the concourse. and was greetcd with great cheer- ing. He was given the cor! to puil the can- vas from the monument, but vofortuoately it broke. Laughter and expressions of regret followed. Judge Bond, of Baltimore, re- marked, ‘Mr. President, that is the trst fail- ure of the admin.stration,” causing consider- able merriment. The President remained standing some minutes while a ladder was brought in ser- vice, and the unveiling was completed by volunteers aroid cheers. Hoa. L. B. Gankle. local manager of the Home, made a state- ment that the monument was mainly te re- suit of the efforts of the oMcers and vete an soldiers of the Home, and was designed to perpetuate the memory of the various deeds e common soldiers. Gen. J.D. Cox, of Toledo, then deliver: 4 oration. Remarks were Cet anon by Se a in which 4 apostrophized the soldiers who fought an alea’ for the Unior. ANOTHER SPEECH RY THE PRESIDENT. As the General retired there weat up a eneral and lively ca!! for another view of President Hayes, and he was prevailed on to step forward. He said My Friends: A few unpremeditated sen- tences, a little plain soldier talk is all you willexpect. This monument reminds ine, and as I mention it will remind very many in this great audience of the frat soldiers’ monument that we erected in 1x1. You all remember what they were, all wno took in those first ba.tlesof thegreat coail:et. You remember and can never forget the feelings of swiness with which we saw tue remaias of our deed comrades gathered up and placed in their last resting place. They were gathered up. you Know, by the parties de- tailed to bury the dead carefully, respect fully, tenderly, and when the’ shallow ground had beed dug. and in their uniforms they had been laid away and covered, their comrades looked about to sce What memento they could leave, and then left little irag- ments, {ri fragments of cracker boxes. markiig with pencil the name of the rezi- ment aud compr iy cf the dead comrades, hoping that they wonld in some way be usefal, little, perliaps, dreaming at the time Ubat to the private soldier shoaid be erected with granite and marble and brass such structures as we now behold, and beboll the change. Instead of that Tlide fragment, perishable aud fragile, we have these enduring monuments forever to gaze upon. How glor:ous the change. Does ii not re- mind us of the growth iu the sentiment of all mankind of the appreciation of the work that these men did. Then we ee 4 knew What was tobe the result of it all, but now we know that these men were fighting the battle of freedom for all maakind; now we know that they have saved to liberty and to peace the best part of the best continent ou the globe. (Cheers | As this work —— with the frail cracker-box memorials, 80 does the Work which they have done com- pare with any conception of it which we then could have had. Forever be er we shall remember the American private sol- dier as having cstablished a free nation, where every man bas an equal chance and fair start In the race of life. [Applause.) This is the work of the American private soldier, and as that monumeut teaches many lessons let us not forget this one: It is a mon- ument to remind us that many are still liv- ing of that great army who are the victims of that war. Some have lost limbs, some have lost those habits and characteristics which enable wen to succeed in life.
