It was built by the government in 1861 as a means of communica- tion between the forts in the vic known as “Military road” during the civil war.

Pierce's mill is hardby to the right. BLAGDEN'S MILL is soon reached. It isan old stone and wood structure and now bears marks of ago and hard usage. In short, it isa ruin, and is well represented in the <ccompanying ent. The mill and surrounding property was originally but the estate is now called Argyle. BEAUTIFUL ROCK CREEK SCENERY. Rock creek is now crossed, and, ascending the winding road on the eastern side, you are charmed by the enchanting wild scenes that are presented on every side. The road is hilly and its surface rather rough, but the pleasant sur- roundings more then compensate for any dis- comfort experienced on these accounts. Argyle woods on the right is a dense forest. At" ihe summit of the hill, opposite Mr. Wm. Clagett’s, inside the fence on the left is Crystal spring, a splendid pool of water. A PLEASANT TRAMP. If one is afoot and his mind inclines to wild nature a tramp through the woods southward from here to the 14th strect road would be enj To avoid being misled by the numerous paths that run through the woods in every direction the following course is ont- lined: Crossing a small brook a little south of the spring, bear to the right fora short dis- tance, when you pass a path leading to the right toward the Blagden mansion. Moving along toward the left your path again formsa ction with two other paths. The left and middle ones lead to the 1ith street road, whi they y bran Hac . honevsuck abound in these woods. However, if the main road is preferred, proceed to lit street road, the entrance to which is about one and a quarter miles east of Blagden’s mill, half a mile south of Brightwood and one and a | half miles north of Mount Pleasant. Near to and vorth of the junction of the roads is Brightwood Driving Park, once famous and vopular as a race course. ON FOURTEENTH STREET ROAD.

Jackson's Visit to Boston, ‘Written for The Evening Star. (RE READERS OF THE STAR WILL BE indebted to a friend who is kind enough to send mea copy of a book written by Josiah Quincy, jr., and published in 1883, wherein he tells of his visit to Washington as early as 1807 with bis father, who was at that early date a member of Congress. “I dimly remember Washington,” he says, “but the gontlemen in powdered hair amd pig tails Ido remember. ‘Tho city itself presented a forlorn appearance. Blocks of houses had been commenced, tho specutators had failed and unfinished buildings, without door or windows, were in every street. Irecall all this very distinctly, because there was a print of the ‘Ruins of Palmyra,’ which I pointed out to my parents on our way home, with the exclamation: ‘Why, there of Washington! “Nineteen years after that, 1826, I made the Journey to Washington with Judge Story. The stages ran regularly between New York and They left the city at 8 o'clock in the those who were booked for a Passage. His instructions were to knock, pall the bell, shout and disturb the neighborhood as much as possible, in order that the person who was to take the stage might be up and dressed. Light sleepers in the vicinity were made painfully aware when the stage was e3 pected. This invitation from Judge Story did not imply any promise of attention after we arrived in that city, as the judge was careful to point out. ‘The fact is,"said he ‘I can do very little for you there, as we inte take no part in the society of the place. We ine once a year with the President, and that isall. On othor days we take dinner together, and discuss at table the questions which are argued before us. Weare great ascetics, and even deny ourselves wine, except in’ wet ier.’ Here the judge paused as if think that the act of mortification he had men- ed placed too severe a tax on human ‘What I say about wine, sir, gives you our rule; but itdoes sometimes happen that the chief justice will say to me when the cloth is removed: “Brother Story, step to the window and sce if it does not look like rain.” And if I tell him the sun is shining brightly Judge Marshal! will some- times reply: “All the better, for our jurisdic- tion extends over #0 large a territory that the doctrine of chances makes it certain that it must be raining somewhere.” Youknow the chief was brought up upon federalism and Madeira, and he isnot the man to outgrow his early ’pre- jadices.”” ‘Mr. Quincy says the sun revealed is fellow passengers, who were Mr. and Mrs. MeCobb of Maine, who were escorting to Wash- ington the Misses Cleaves, two young ladies who were heiresses and were to e their debut in Washington society. JUDGE STORY A GREAT TALKER. Judge Story was one of the great talkers at a period when conversation was considered a sort of second profession. At dinners, when time was limited and other distinguished men were present, he sometimes talked too mu but in the coach he could not pour himself too abundantly for the pleasure of his listen- ers. There was only one thing he did not talk about and that was law. “I can give no better idea of the intimate relations developed in the stage coach,” he continues, ‘than by men- tioning that before night the judge was favor- ing us with recitations of original poetry. Sub- sequently Judge Story came to the conclusion that the masses were not favorable to his invo- cations and actually bought up and burned all attainable copies of a poem called ‘Power of Solitude,’ which he once committed to the press *' * * He had a knack of rhyming with ease, and it is said that he would some- times beguile the hours of a tedious argument, to which he was compelled to listen, by making his notes in verse. The first night of our jour- ney was spent at Ashford, Conn. The bilis of jocal banks «did not cfreulate beyond the town in which they were issued, and when Judge Story. who had failed to provide himself with United States notes, offered the landlord a Salem bill in pavment for supper he stared at it and said: “Lhis is not good and I think you must know. “I know it is good.’ retorted the Judge testily, ‘and I'll tell you how I know it, I ‘made ing tion ve reached New York on Monday evening, having left Boston on Friday morning. Mr. Quincy tells how they journeyed to Wash- ington by the way of Lancaster, Pa, where they took up Mr. Buchanan, and they then had as assengers Langdon 'Cheves, Mr. Henry Wheaton, the authority on international law, and Mr. Henry, member of Congress fron Ken- tucky, and reached Baltimore at 11 o'clock at night, very much fatigued, but he says: “Bar- num, who was a great friend of Judge Story, and knew him when he, Barnum, kept the Ex- change Coffee Honse in’ Boston, would keep us up for canvas-backs and a bottle of capital wine.” ‘They left Baltimore at 9 in the morn- ing and reached Washington about 3 in the afternoon, and at the recommendation of Mr. Cheves Mr. Quincy accompanied him to Miss Hyers’ on Capitol Hill—eust side New Jer- sey avenue, my oid directory says—where he met Thomas Addis Emmet, David B. Ogden, Kufus Amory, Capt. (Commodore) Stockton of the navy and Capt. Zantzinger. Mr. Quincy left his card and @ letter from his father for Mr. Randolph at Dowson’s, Capitol Hill, and soon had a note requesting him to waive cere- mony and call on him either before the meet- ing of the Senate or between its adjournment and 8 o'clock in the evening, which hour he was careful to mention was his bedtime. JOUN RANDOLPH OF ROANOKE. Mr. Quincy found in Mr. Randolph a most entertaining friend. He spoke of the death of Mr. Gaillard of South Carolina and the eulogism of his colleague, Mr. Hayere, in an- nouncing it to the Senate. “Gaillard was our oldest Senator,” said Mr. Randolph, “and is greatly to’ be pitied—to ‘be pitied, not use he died, but because he died in. this — plac have been ilf here and have feared death, feared it because would not die in Washington, be eulogized by men I despise and buried in the Congressional burying ground. ‘The idea of lying by the side of—Ah! that adds a new horror to death! Ihave done what I could to guard against this calamity by directions to my executors, but who knows what may happen?” Mr. Quincy left Washington on the day he received a note from Mr. Randolph bidding him to come and dine with him at a confee- tioner’s shop near the Seven buildings. I don't find it in my directory, but it seems to me that was Favier's restaurant, the Seven buildings on 20th street opposite. The Capt. Stockton Mr. Quincy met at Miss Hyers was Commodore Stockton, the father of Senator John P. Stockton, so kindly remem- bered here, and was himself Senator of the United States and commanded the steamship Princeton, and was the inventor of the gun, “the Peacemaker,” which exploded with such terrible effect in 1844. He relatos a number of interesting incidents of the duels in which he was engaged and adventures in nearly all parte of the world. Yr. Quiney tells of an incident which hap- pened to his father, who was ona visit to Judge ‘ashington at Mount Vernon in 1806, when he —— a "hi toad 13 “‘Let us be accurate, my dear,’ said Mr. Webster, with one of those pleasant smiles of his, which fairly lit up the room. ‘Undoubt- edly it was a pipe of wine when wo bought it, m on tap for some time and our table had not been without guests. If I had you on the witness stand I think I should make you confess that your pipe of wino could teareely have been more than lialf a pipe at the time of the fire.” suppose there was nothing said at that dinner so little worth preserving as this trifling ly Jest; yet the sweet and playful manner of Webster fixed it indelibly on my memory. ‘An anecdote told by Webster as the conver- sation run on upon the importance of doing small things: thoroughly he illustrated by an account of some petty insurance case brought to him when he was a young lawyer in Ports. mouth. A twenty-dollar fee was all he was romised. He saw that to do his client full justice a journey to Boston to consult the Law brary was desirable. He would be out of pocket by the expedition and for his time he would receive no adequate compensation. He determined to do his best, cost what it might. He accordingly went to Boston, looked up the authorities and gained the case. Years after this Webster, then famous, was passing through New York. An important insurance case was to be tried the day after his arrival and one of the counsel had been suddenly taken sick. Money was no object and Webster was begged to name his price and conduct the case. ‘I told them,’ said Mr. ster, ‘that it was preposter- ous to expect me to prepare a legal argument at a few hours’ notice. They insisted, however, that I should look at the papers. Then, after some demur, I consented to ion ‘Well, it was my old twenty-dollar case over again,” I had the authorities at my fingers’ ends. The court knew that I had no time to prepare and was astonished at the range of my acquire- ments. So you see I washandsomely paid both in fame and money for that journey to Boston; and the moral is that good work is rewarded in ‘the end.’” TWO DINNERS AT THF WHITE HOTSE. ‘Mr. Quincy twice dined at the White House; the first time informally with Charles Kingand Albert Gallatin: “The latter gentleman,” re- cords Mr. Quincy, “scarcely said anything, owing. perhaj e constant and amusing utterances of the President, Mr. Adams, and Mr. King, who talked ns if under bonds to’ fur- nish entertainment for the party. The next occasion wasa state dinner of forty ladies and gentlemen, very splendid and rather stiff.” He enjoyed the hospitality of the Vice President Mr. Calhoun, who, contrary to eustom, bi come up to the Capitol and was actually doing the work of his place, as he proclaimed that he would receive no emoluments from an office without assuming its responsibilities. “One of the pleasantest dinners attended at Washington," he edds, “took place at Miss Hyers’ boarding house. It was given by the gentlemen lodgers, who, by a small subscription, added a few dishes to the ordinary bill of fare. Mr. Webster and Senator Mills of Massachusetts were among ihe guests, and when after the re- movalof thecloth some Bordeaux wine wasadded to the customary Madeira the conversation was easy and animated. It was Mr. Webster's say- ing that dinners were agreeable in. inverve ratio to their state and formality. The use of wine and spirits was practically universal at tho time of which I am speaking. Nobody thought it possible to dine without one or the other. “At the boarding houses and hotels every guest had is bottle or his interest in a bottle. In tho early days of the sound steamers decanters of brandy, free to all, were placed upon the table as part of the provisions necessary for a meal.” ‘THE UNIVERSAL USE OF WINE. In my early life the sideboard was an ad- Junct of almost every family, and visitors were entertained with cake and wine or » brandy toddy. Everybody drank, but nobody got drunk, Adranken man was a rare sight. “In the neighborhood where I was bornand brought up till seventeen years of age there was a most excellent man, who got drunk about once oF twice a year, and when that occurred every- body looked at him as something unusual and disgusting, andeven when soberhe was avoided. The last time I saw the venerable Father Cur- ley at Georgetown College, a year or two be- fore his death, he reminded me of a visit he and my cousin, a young priest, James Decry, had paid to my mother, when I was brought in from play to see him, in 1832, he eaid, and be- fore ois | to go to the Capitol he said, “Mother had made them a nice brandy tod: It was universal before the days of whisky. Cut glass decanters and loaf sugarand a mudier were to be found on every sideboard, with toddy spoons, I find so much in Mr. Quincy's recollections that will interest the readers of Tur Star that Tam trespassing on the space allotted me, and must leave to another occasion » description of the parties and balls of that period and the belles who made them so charming, as Mr. Quincy relates. I cannot refrain, however, from giving a remarkable incident about Gen, Jackson, which will astonish those whose general oy age of the old hero belies the fact stated by Mr. Quincy. JACKSON'S VISIT TO BOSTON. Asone of the aids of Gov. Lincoln, Mr. Quiney was ordered to actas special aid-de- camp to the President, Gen. Jackson, during his vieit to Massachusetts, and on the morn- ing of June 20, 1833, he says: “I found myself advancing from one side of Pawtucket bridge to meet a slender, military looking person, who had just left the Rhode Island side of that structure. * * * My business was to deliver an address of welcome, and here was Jackson himself advancing in solitary state to hear it. Well, in the rear of the chief walked the Vice President and heir apparcut, Martin Van Buren, and slowly following came ‘the Secretaries of War and Navy, Cass and Woodbury. * * * The address got delivered somehow and the distinguished guest made suitable re- ply and then we walked together to the fine barouche and four which was to take us through the state. * * * The ar- tillery fired (breaking many windows in Paw- tucket, for which the state paid @ goodly bili) and we re off. © © His conversation was interesting from its sincerity, decision and point. It was easy to see thathe was not a man to accept a difference of opinion with equanim- ity, but that was clearly because being honest and earnest heaven would not suffer his opin- ions to be other than right. Mr. Van Buren, on the other hand, might have posed for a statue of diplomacy. * * * At a review of the Boston brigade I had en; trained horses for the cabinet and suite, bg Loree they would ail follow the President to the field, but Mr. Van Buren, in the course of the morning, told me they had decided not to appear at the Te * * * After dinner, however, the Vice ft President sent for me and said he and his had reversed their decision and now wanted horses to go to the review. = * © ‘They appeared in due time and we mounted and proceeded to the field in good order, but the moment we reached the common the tre- mendous discharge of artillery which saluted the President scattered thé cabinet in all direc- tions.
