In all probability there is not another city in the world which possesses the same Cosmopolitan traits as the city of Washington, D.C.—the seat of our national govern- ment. The sojourner in this quiet valley town, for it is quiet, albeit herein gather the great and the gaunt, the government satellites and the government pauper, may see almost any day on any of the broad avenues spread- ing in majesty from the smiling face of the Potomac to the green and lofty hills in the dim distance,—the sons of every clime,—the pig-tailed Mandarin from the flow- ery kingdom,—the swarthy son of Ethiopis,—the dark- eyed children of sunny Italy, and the otive-complected children of Spain; the durky-hued aborigines from the land of the setting *un. One wonders where they all find a home on his first entrance into the city, but a short stay convinces him that Ww hington is, in fact, nothing short of a vast boarding-house. Everybody in Washington boarde, and itis our aim this morning to give the reader an idea of how our great men are housed in the capital. We begin with the Hotel system, and by saying that in a gereral way the best of everything may be procured in Washington hotels for the most possible money, and in some ceses the very worst for the same amount. Our great men are chiefly ‘| found in the hotels, and there, with their families, they remain enugly ensconsed in a suite of apartments dur- ing the session. ‘There are some of the wealthiest who furnish town houses, and splendid equipages, etc., but they are few, indeed. Others, tond of seclusion, eeck the quietness of a refined boarding-house. Among the best hotels in Washington we may make special mention of the Metropolitan. ‘This house, which is situated on Pennsylvania avenue, between 6th and 7th strects, with a magnificent frontage, adorned by a broad and grand piazza. The interior is supplied with all modern im- provements and comforts, and contains in connection with one of the largest as well as the best-appuinted din- ing halls in the country, some two hundred of the mcst comfortable hotel rooms to be found anywhere. In fact, ita proprietors, Messrs Sheldon & Roblins, take espe- cial care to see that all the wants of their guests are at- tended to in the best manner. Both of these gentlemen attend in person, and superintend the management of the house themselves. It may be stated incidentally that Mr. Sheldon was for the past season absent some times from his post of duty, owing to his being a sufferer from rheumatiem. But we are pleased to eay that, thanks to St. Jacob's Oil, the Great German Remedy, he is agam smiling as sweetly asa. cherub from his accustomed position behind the giitter- ing marble counter of his sumptous office. It may be also incidentally stated that Mr. Sheldon now speaks in glowing terms of St. Jacob’s Oil; in fact, we give his words below, as he uttered them toa reporter of this journal a few days since. The scribe had wandered into the hotel, and was amazed to eee a lank-looking in- dividual on top of a trembling step-ladder, supplying the gas fixtures of the establishment with the most gor- geous things in the shape of an advertisement it was ever his good fortune to see. E It was a new departure in liberality, and consisted of cut-glase globes, with brass fixtures attached, and adorned with figures cut on the outer surface, repre- senting the old Monk—in short, the veritable St. Jaccb himeelf, in an upright position, holding aloft a bottle of St. Jacob's Oil, wherewith he eheds beams of relief upon the entire world. ‘The design, we muut say, is beauti- fully appropriate, clegant and tasteful. It was, in point of fact, the globes and the lank individual referred to above that suggested the oily conversation. Mr. Shel- don, who was enthusiastic over the subject of St. Jacch's Oil, said: “I consider St, Jacob’s Oil the very dest medicine ever given tothe people. It cured me of the rheumatism when a number of other medicines which I had tried, and fairly tried, failed. I was sur- prised by the agreeable action of St. Jacob's Oi!; it did its work 80 well, and so quickly that it was enough to surprise any one. Two weeks with St. Jacob's Oil en- tirely and permanently cured me. It cured a young lady friend of mine, a cousin, in fact,” said Mr. Shel- don, evidently more satisfied as he preceeded, ‘and en- tirely removed all traces of the rheumatiam. I consider St. Jacobs Oil, the Great German Kemedy, a most ex- cellent remedy, indeed.” at GF THE BEST. THE CONCORD HARNESS AND COLLARS. LUTZ & BRO., 491 PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE.
