George William Curtis in Harper's Weekly. We need not go to Paris, we need only go to Washington, to see how sound and solid, how easily swept, and how easily repaired, is a well-laid asphalt pavement, and how much pleasanter than any block pavement it is to drive over. ONE OF THE BEST. - From the Providence Fress. lt gives us real pleasure to be able to com- mend any of President Arthur's appointments. One of the best he has made is the nomination of Mr. Alvey A. Adee to be Third Assistant of State. Mr. Adee has had lon: ence in dealing with foreign affairs, and has hon- orably earned his promotion from his present post chief of the diplomatic bureau of the State department. THE REAL STUFF. From the Brooklyn Eagle. A stranger dropped in one morning before breakfast at a Washington drug store and called for a bottle of Congress water. The intelligent clerk ducked beneath the counter and promptly produced a bottle of old Monongahela. The customer tasted it and then depositing his glass remarked: “Do you call that Congress water?” “That's it.” answered the pill compounder, smiling pleasantl: ‘Every Congressman who comes in here drinks it.” drawn out of him ‘by the most fascinating, per- suasiye and interesting epnversation. He told everything without ing to tell anything. eS ter Is now aging editor of « d- lcago_newspaper, Prosperous worldly goods.” as THE PARK CITY OF AMERICA. Correspondence of the Brookiyn Eagle. We visited W: off and on, between Johnson's administration and.the present one. We wereat the ina jon of President Hayes, but only a recent visit of some weeks has made us aware of the tact whichihas been almost unt- versally known, that what Boss Shepherd did there is not so generally recognized as it ought to be. Under the improvements he began this fourth class town of dismal distances has be- come the handsomest on the continent. Its magnificent streets are almost a new creation since his day. The city is completely trans- formed. The dingy residences have been beau- tifled by the yards in front of them as well as by the well paved, asphalted avenues, all shaded into green and ‘presenting or permitting open visfas in every direction. Such spacious streets, so perfectly neat, make the illusion complete that the ugliest place for residence formerly has become the most desirable. Ladies walk any- where without regard to sidewalks or the cross- ings, and groups of bieyclers glide along, which is, not a spectacle to be observed on the Belgian pavements of New York or the cobblestones of Brooklyn or Jersey City. One easily gets an impression that in the Dis- trict of Columbia, where the pavements are as smooth as a parlor floor, and there is a national exchequer to pay the expense, that the problem of municipal government is solved. Out of the range of the political avenues, and the debates at one end and the officials at the other, you are -out of the atmosphere of politics, and in‘a place for quietest existence. One may hesitate to assert that the handsomest streets of any other city are ona par with the worst avenues of the capital, but he will not be far out of the way. For miles and miles the scene is like that ot Central Park many times its size in extent. Some say it is the rival of Paris, where many wealthy Americans seek a material heaven.
