HISTORIC PLACES East Washington Had Many Handsome Homes Years Ago. Some Interesting Recollections Old-Time People—The History of + the Marine Corps. of Written for The Evening Star. In the early days of the city, East Wash- ington contained within its confines some of the most beautiful homes in the District. Duddington, the house of Daniel Carroll, one of the commissioners appointed by Washington to lay out the city—was one of the most imposing at the seat of govern- ment. The large dbuble-brick mansion was of the colonial style of architecture, with a spacious hall running through the center; a hail as wide as some of the houses of the present day. Around the mansion were grouped many outbuildings and sefvants’ quarters, all built of brick, and which at a distance looked like a miniature settlement. ‘The extensive grounds which surrounded it took up an entire square and were inclosed by a high brick wall which gave to it a ba- ronial air. A thich growth of original oaks shaded the winding paths that led through the picturesque grounds and lent an addi- tional air of antiquity to the place. Mr Car- roll died at Duddington May 9, 1849, and was buried at St. Peter's Cemetery. His remains were subsequently removed to Mount Olivet, where they now repose. The home of Maj. Augustus 8. Nicholson, sr., of the U. 8. marine corps, was another imposing and beautiful place, occupying an entire square just east of Duddington and ‘commanding a fine view of the river and the Virginia hills. The original home of the Nicholson’s was the picturesque “white house” on South Carolina avenue, and was more quaintly beautiful than the other. The inclosure covered an entire square, which was artistically laid out and pro- fusely ornamented. It is now known as “The Maples,” and owned and occupied by Mrs. Briggs. In the old days it was the scene of princely hospitality. The major— beloved by all who knew him—was noted for his liberality and lavish entertainments. He was a great lover of fine horses and his stables boasted of some of the fastest trot- ters in this part of the country. The old “main road”—now Pennsvivania avenue east—was the scene of a friendly trotting match in which the major often participated and seldom “got left. Mr. Thomas Blagden, a wealthy lumber dealer, owned a very handsome residence the extensive grounds near the old “Stone bridge,” just south of Duddington. He was also the owner of the large farm where the insane asylum now stands. Here he erected an observatory on the brow of the hill which could be seen for miles and which commanded a magnificent view of both rivers and the entire city. “Blagden'’s ob- servatory” was for many years a promi- nent landmark. There were many other beautiful homes in this section of the city and well worthy of mention. a The Marine Barracks. The greatest attraction of East Wash- ington in the old days was the marine bar- racks. Here was stationed the only body of regular troops for the defense of the na- tional capital. There was a company of |” regular infantry quartered at Fort Wash- ington down the river for a time and a light battery at Fort McHenry, Baltimore; but the marines were the only troops sta- tioned in this city for many years. Then, as now, they were considered a fine body of well disciplined and remarkably well drilled troops. Full-dress parades, inspec- tions and battalion drills made headquar- ters an attractive spot and drew large crowds from the city to witness the well- executed evolutions of the men and to lis- ten to the music of the ever-popular — rine Band, which was even then consid the finest in this country. Its Soe oe at that time was a Portuguese named Friay, whose fine musical taste and arrangement made him very popular. There was generally a much larger force stationed at the barracks in xe — days than of late years, and Maj. Rey- nolds, one of the best-drilled bauer offi- cers in the service and a thorough marti- net, would at intervals establish the “school of the battalion.” On one occasion he gave a battalion drill on the west plaza of the Capitol before both houses of and an immense concourse of people. The drill included firing with blank cartridge and was pronounced perfect. The old barracks presented a scene of great animation on the breaking out of the Mexican war. The Maryland contingent (which included one company from Wash- ington) was quartered and drilled here prior to their departure for the seat of war. To say that they made things lively is) drawing it mildly. The peaceful lives and quiet scenes of the old burghers of the Navy Yard were rudely shocked when the Maryland boys came marching in. aa merry meetings were changed to alarums.” their “delightful measures” to to “dreadful marches,” and nothing had been seen like it “since the British ener] through.” The battalion was commanded by Col. W. H. bags who was killed while gallantly leading his men through the streets of Monterey. The adjutant was Frank B. Schaeffer, captain of company D, and later captain of the orig- inal National Rifles of this city. Organization of the Marine Corps. It may not perhaps be generally known that the marine corps came into existence before the organization of the regular navy. Mr. Almy Aldrich, in his history of the corps, completed by Capt. R. 8. Collum, says: “Before a single vessel of the navy Was sent to Sea tne corps was organized, November 10, 1775, and irom the nour of ter earliest organization the marines mage a nopie record for themseives and tor their country.” During the revolutionary war, whether ashore or afoat, the marmes were conspicuous for their bravery aad won gistunction for themselves—contributed in no smali degree to the final success of the Americans. in the Algerian war, in the war of 1812, from the lakes to the gulf; im the operations against pirates on the cvast of Sumatra, in the evergiades of Florida, in fine, as the legend on their colors reiis us, “from Tripoli to the halls of the Monte- zumas,” and, we may add, up to the fall of Richmond in the late war, they proved themselves gallant defenders of the repub- lic and worthy of all honor. Gen. Archibald Henderson was the com- mandant of the corps from 1820 to 1859. He was brevetted brigadier general January 27, | 1837, for gallant and meritorious services in command of the marines during the Florida war. He was a prominent figure in ‘Washington for many years. He was a di- rector of the Bank of Washington and long a vestryman in old Christ Church, Navy Yard. Maj. A. 8. Nicholson (mentiuned above) was the quartermaster. Maj. Park Howell was the adjutant and in- » and lived in the large dou- ble brick house on Fourteenth street near the Long bridge. Maj. George W. ‘Walker was the paymaster. — other officers who are well remembered by our old citizens, and who had large property interests in the city, were Maj. (afterward colonel) James Edelin, Lieut. John 8. Dev- <i hoy @ as = Tyler, Capt. Wm. Maddox, S. Taylor and others. As we r call ‘tne ‘old days at the post shadowy forms and familiar faces file slowly by us. We scan the grim old quarters, look out upon the parade ground and glance down the long dim arcade in vain for the gallant men | ‘we were wont to see, only to be reminded | that “on fame’s eternal camping ground their silent tents are spread.” They have crossed over the river to lie down under the shade of the everlasting trees. For them the bugle has sung its last truce, and from the distant past faintly floats the sound of the solemn “taps,” and “lights are out.” PRR Sh eee Sen The Plan of the Sporting Me A special dispatch to The Evening Star from Tallahassee, Fla., says: A Jackson- ville man just arrived here qnotes Sherifr Broward of Duval county as saying that if an injunction should issue from the circuit court restraining him from interfering with the Corbett-Mitchell fight in Jacksonville he would obey it and keep away from the arena on the night of the contest. in ai probability such an injunction will issue a few hours before the fight comes off. ——____+e--_____ Pure food exposition every afternoon and evening at Convention Hall.

What the French Are Beginning to Find Out in Regard to Their Army. There is no power on earth better equip- ped for war than France is at the present moment, says the Paris Figaro. But unfor- turately all our military organization is based upon a dangerous sophism, the pre- Ponderance of numbers. When we reform- ed our army we started out upon the idea that France was vanquished by the numer- ical supericrity of the Germans, whereas the real cause of our defeat must be looked for in the incapacity of our generals. The events were fatalities manifestly independ- ent of the real value of the army itself, and one cannot reasonably conclude that it was the superiority of numbers that Se- fented us. Nevertheless, we have allowed ourselves to be carried away by the magic of numbers, and in order to get the num- bers we have reduced the service to an average of thirty months. Now, short ser- vice makes militiamen; it does not make soldiers. The worship which we profess for heroes has for its only reason of exist- ence the fact that the heroes are exception- al creatures. There is no longer any army when everybody is a soldier; there is no military spirit when the service is @ com- mon duty; there are no more heroes when every one is moboiized expressly to become one. Take in the military hierarchy of the empire the men who grenad! types of the soldier, Lannes, Lasalle, Mar- bot, Parquin and Caignet. They were of but their souls were the — They were pretorians. They had only one trade, one passion, one worship, one end—war. Their moral horizon was constantly obscured by the smoke of bat- tles. They had no ideas of human solidar- ity or of social progress, find absolutely nothing in their skulls which would be worthy of the consideration of a philosopher or an economist. They were wicked and terrible, but also ex! enchanters, superb and attractive in the same way and for the same reason that lion is attractive, because he is stronger and grander than an ox or a sheep, In order to forge soldiers of that type would be neceasary to return to customs much at variance with our habits of life with the new conditions of warfare. for all that, it is none the less true trade of a soldier is a trade, just other, in which one excels only thi pret.ticeship and application; strength of armies is proportionate traini-g of the soldier; that numbers nothing if they are not made ble enthusiasm; that the reduction tee befce: chances of victory, and that the idea of democratizing the army is a pure absurd- ity, for the simple reason that in the army, from the top to the bottom of the military ladder, ix servitude, hierarchy and inequality. - is not merely an — it law under which we live gives us nearly 4,000,009 of men, and we are accustomed to believe, on the faith of sycophants, that such an army renders us forever invinci- ble.

Repcrts in my possession from sixty- seven institutions of learning, scattered over thirty-seven states of the Union, give much interesting information concerning the influence of foot ball upon class stand- ing and individual development, physical, mental and moral. These reports originat- ed in the discussion which arose last year as to the wisdom of permitting maten games of foot ball between the cadets of pa ted and West Point. For them 4 indebted to the courtesy of the officers of the army and navy detailed under an act of Congress to furnish military instrue- tion to the educational institutions autnor- ized to receive it. These gentlemen are admirably fitted to rorm a sound opinion as to the influence of athletic pursuits upon college training; they appreciate the im- portance of physical development, and they are sufficiently independent of tne several institutions with which they are connected to be unbiased by local senti- ment. As a general conclusion from these re- perts, it would appear that foot ball hoids chief place among athletic games for its influence in developing the qualities es- pecially required in an officer of the army or navy—qualities Which it is at the same time well for every young man to cultivate, One officer says: “ and from Harvard gilded youth who was at the college after his had passed, in view of the fact joined the foot. ball team. —-——-. +e0- ——___ BIG BEACON LIGHT FOR FRANCE. Penmarck. This encrmous intensity of light is said to be obtained by an arrange- ment of the lenses of the lamp. In the ordinary lamp the lenses, consisting of a rumber of rectangular panels, are placed in steps in such a manner that the source of light occupies the principal focus of each of them. The rays of light then emanate from this part of the apparatus in a hori- zontal pencil. By reaching the number of panels the quality of light received by each is consequently correspondingly in- creased. At La Heve there are four panels, the total light emitted by the lamp being triple the amount received in with twelve panels. It is new light house to employ but two | each of them occupying a half equare. Each lense will, therefore, receive half of the | total light emitted by the lamp, and conse- quently will emit a pencil of rays of a power double that furnished at La Heve. Like the light house at La Heve, the new | light house will be lighted by electricity, The lamp will be fed by an alternating cur- rent of 100 ampheres at its maximum. ——~ eee | A Great Invention. From Harper's Magazine. “I have here,” began the energetic man, as he bundled into the young lawyer's of- fice, “the greatest invention of the age.” It was cases that the lawyer wanted, not inventions, and he said something rude; but the energetic man proved to be a phil- osopher, and merely smiled. “I call it,” pursued the visitor, “the eter- nal kisser, because there is simply no end to the kisses it bestows. It is this.” He hauled out a spray of mistletoe covered with white berries. This interested the young lawyer, who raised his eyebrows in- auiringly. “Mistletoe,” proclaimed the agent, “is very scarce this year, and a bunch con- taining a score of berries would bankrupt a poor man. Now this great invention brings happiness within the reach of all. Tradition permits you a kiss for each and every berry, you know. You hold this spray above your beloved’s head—so. You bend—so—and kiss her. Then you grab a berry—so—and pull it—presto, it flies back again in place. The leaves and berries are India rubber, sir, and——Two did you say? Fifty cents.
