The Baltimore and Ohio railroad, which had been chartered in 1828, had then succeeded so far as to get the rails on its Washington and Balti- more road as far as Bladensburg. Up to time hacks, wagons and carts had made up the methods of internal transit in the city; while the stage lines of G. and of Stockton & in some senses the respective rep- resentatives of the National Hotel at one end of the city and of Willard’s at the other, controlled the outgoing and incoming travel of the capital: It often puzzled the writer to know how the people of stage coach days managed to heguile their long journeys until the late @ noted stage coachman, who many times had brought General Jac son and a coachload of Senators from Rich- mond to Washington, enlightened im.

Neither asphalt, vitrified brick nor even cobble stone formed a pavement on the barks of Tiber creek then, and the travel to the new railway soon made havoc with the earth’s surface in that section. On the 1th of September, 1835, attention was called by the National Intelligencer to the fact that the travel in the nefghborhood of the Baltimore and Washington railway “has converted that portion of Pennsylva- nia ayenue into a mudhole.” Early In the fall of 18% two trains ran each day between Baltimore and Washing- |ton. The advertisement announced that the trains would run: é “From Washington at 9 a.m. and 8:45 p.m. From Baltimore, 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. It added the caution: “As there ts no standard of time in Washington it {s rec- | on.mended to passengers to be at the depot {before the hour named for the departure jof the car: In this way’ the trains ran regularly for a considerable period. The |lecation of the depot, at the northwest corner of Pennsylvania avenue and 2d | street, continued for many years. Along- | side the depot, on the east, flowed Tiber creek, bridged by an arch at Pennsylvania but open on the north. Few all these were small and temporary. The | depot building was an ordinary three- story house, while a one-and-a-half-story brick building on the east served as the freight depot. Present Landmarks. The two houses now standing on Penn- sylvania avenue at the northwest corner of Its intersection of 2d street are built on the foundation of the old depot. The neighborhood has much changed, but the old brick car house in the rear, on square 574, back from the corner of B and 24 street, is still In good condition. It can be seen when passing up B street near 2d, and also from the windows of the Busi- ness High School, formerty the District building, on ist street. Tiber has been arched over through all that region, but it still flows unseen beneath the surface. The ravine there, which had the Tiber for its center, has been filled up, and the surface | 18 now well covered with dwellings, busi- ness houses and an active community. Years ago the Baltimore and Ohio rail- Way station was removed from Pennsylva- nia avenue to its present location, on: New Jersey avenue and D street. All the neigh- borhood was then low, and the depot was on the level with cther houses. In 1871-5 the streets in that section were raised, and so the depot has rema:ned below grade. An addition, built year before last, was placed on the. regular grade of the street, and from this depot, which in 188 sent two trains each day out of Washington, now dispatches daily from the capital over forty trains in all directions. ——— THE BICYCLE AS A BLIGHT. People Who Are Howling Against Its Rapidly Increasing Use. From the American Machinist. The manufacture and use of bicycles are causing some curious effects on our manner | of living, and also some curious ideas .on the economic effects produced by the new industry. An American contributes to a Lond-n pa+ Per a letter in which he savagely attacks the wheel and virtually charges it with all our present difficulties—economic, political, cemmercial, social and spiritual. He says | that “millions and millions of dollars are being withdrawn from the normal course of trade end diverted into this one branch, and other people find it extremely difficult to get money to live on.” ‘The wonder 1s how any one can imagine any better agency for the general distribu- ton of money than such an industry as bicycle making. Such people as this writer imagine that all the money paid for bicy- cies is simply put into old woolen socks by the manufacturers, and that none of it goes into other channels of trade through the medium of bicycle factory employes and the employes of other contributory indus- tries. We think the fact is that the strong desire for wheels has made the general business condition much better for the past few years than tt would have been without it, and that very much more money hag been kept in general circulation than there would have been had no such strong incen- tive to spending money been exerting {ts influence. ‘Those people who are always declaiming egainst the paralyzing effect of the bieyele industry upon other lines of trade forget about the many thousands of men who have had and now have employment in bi- cycle industries, and who, were it not for this industry, might ha‘ ve hi | whatever to do See i end in Ines of e “bicycle craze” is ruining them. lamented millions that have Beer pas bicycles have not been destroyed, nor have they disappeared, and it is altogether prob- able that as much of the money ia today in general circulation as would have been had it been spent in any other way. ————+-e+____ A Messenger Boy’s Finance, Frem the New York Sun. The cycling district messenger boy pedal- ing along on a machine is one of the sights of the town. The queerness of the new order of things consists in the fact that he usually hurries along with his measage. During the illness of Cornelus Vander- bilt at his Sth avenue home these loys were in evidence carrying telegrams to and from the family. “Do you own your bike?” was askod of one of the bright-looking boys. “Naw! Never will, either, I gueas!” was the quick reply. “The boss charges us $60 for the machine, and we are suppos2d to pay for it at the rate of $1 a week. That | takes a year and two months—see! Then we must begin to pay up the bills for dam- ages. Repairs this month cost me $10. When we pay for the machine und the damages it'll be ‘N. G.,’ and we'll have to get another—and we can sell the old one for scrap iron.” “How much money do you make?” “If we hustle and have good luok, from $1 to $1.50 a day. “S'long!” and he was on his wheel and ———_+-e+______ The Clerk’s Mistake. From the London Telegraph. A commercial traveler at Liverpool has “taken a rise” out of the clerk at a certain leading commercial hotel. One day last week he entered the office, and, banging his fist on the desk, demanded, angrily: “Why didn’t you have me called at 6 o'clock?” “I did,” calmly replied the clerk. “You did not, sir.” “I tell you I did. rou did not, sir, and I can prove it.” “All right, go ahead; but you can’t prove it” “Yes, I can.” “Prove it, then.” “Well, you did not have me called at 6 o'clock because I did not leave word to be called at all,” and the commercial man grinned, and looked for the clerk to blush and apologize. But he looked in vain. A little thing like that wouldn't bother a hotel clerk. +02 A Reason for Pride. From the Indianapolis Journ: “I got my picter in the paper,” he said to his neighbor. “Did ye see it “I reckon 4 did.’ ‘urty good likeness, wa'n’t it?” “First rate.

Mr. Crowe will soon take another examination and be or- dained to the priesthood of the Protestant Episecpal Church. The question of who is to be called as Tector of St. Michael's and All Angels’ Pretestant-Episcopal Church {s y2t an un- solved problem and likely to remain so for some time. The church is closed for serv- Jee during this month.
