Do not fail to pa; Arlington a Tlsit when you com* to Washington, it yon hare ever hail a desire to see an ol<l Southern mansion such as you hava read soofloo about. Situated on high ground, with its coijr whitewashed quarters for numerous slaws dotting the landscape in the distance, with its broad lawns sloping gently down in eyerr direction, studded here and there with littla clusters of evergreen trees, commanding a Una view of the city of Washington, the river, and country for miles around, it takes you back to the fairy-book time of life. The mansion la quite well preserved. The Government oonfls* cated this property during the war, and only a few years ago the heirs of Koilert K. Leo sued for and recovered about |37b,000 for it. Mount Vernon, the home of Washington, fourteen miles down the Potomac, was auotbor model home. After passing Alexandria. Va,, we pass tho lighthouse at Jones' Point and touch at Fort Foote, an abandoned earthwork of tho rebellion. Next come* Fort Washington, an old time (tone work, and Just across the riyei la Moant Vernon. Tho mansion is bnilt of wool and is ninety-six feet long. The Mr. Vernoi Ladies' Association of the Union, own and maa age the home and grounds, containing 188 acres On the second floor wo were shown the room li which Washington died, December U, 17M The bed is kept juat the sane as tlion.

About half way be IN "'i n the gale at the entrance to the ground aud tho tunnsion, is the tomb of Washington A boxwood fence one hnnurad and fifty year old la oaa of the attractions here. Just adjoin lag the grounds Is a restaurant where a gno< dinner can be had; or If yon wish to be mora re maatie they will allow 70a to eat some very lni biscuit and drink a enp of coffee in the kltchei of the old mansion. On Wednesday we took the boat at the foot 01 Boranth street for a visit to the aaeieat city m Alexandria, seven miles down t he river. Jud as the boat was leaving the wharf, a gentlema) on deck pointed out a little three-masted crafl only thirty-live feet long. In which tho owner Capt. Slocum, with his family, had sailed all tho way from Kio Janolro, a distance of six thousand miles. The brighe commanded wai wrecked there about six months ago. He found it impossible to secure passage homo for himself and family without going In debt, so he decided to build a boat of his awn. The material eost hi.11 less than one hundred dollars. Tb< ropes ware made of a tough climbing Tins thai ■raws la Braail. The hold, where they stared their driaklag water, and food, was only about two feet daep. The Captain is a man extremely faad of adveature, but he willingly admitted ha would net undertake the journey again foi the boat fnll of money. He said to a visitor who called: "I have built houses in the Phillip, pine Islands and Alaska, out could not beconu satlsled with either place. In one place thei were all bare people and in the other I could not bear the people " Next we pass by the arsenal, occupying a fine position on a kind of peninsula at the Junction of the eastern brand with the Potomac, thus affording great faollltlea for receiving and shipping munitions ol wai The largest bailing, used aa a guard house, wsi pointed oat, and it was in front ol this that Mrs. Surrat ana other oonspiratora la the assassination of President Lincoln, wen haaged. The rifle range here, one thousand yards long. Is the finest In tho Kast. Tho married men's quarters, on the point, aro very fine. These warlike places along this pretty river recall the scntsnce "All quiet along the Potomac.' Just thirty minutes from leaving Washington we arrive at Alexandria. We were fortunaU enough to meet a gentlemen who whs willing U act as guide. "Being a Virginian." ho said, "1 find great pleasure in pointing out these places.' llo first led us to this Mansion House; quite « respectablo looking building now, being newly nitlnlod, but only a second-class hotel ilurini the war, known us the Marshall House Jnniei T.

Kditob Bpibit :—Never kaviag nt4e a nrlous study ef the art of wrltlag letter*, Ido not expect to writ* anything now of interest to thoee •f you wko bare visited here; bat *e some of you at leait have ae ver had the pleaiare of teeing Washington, the Pari* of America, I will offer you no farther apology for attempting to trespaas on the column* of yonr very excellent paper, tha Spirit. The Pennsylvania B.B., always in advance of its rivals, has made a specialty of planting its passenger stations in the very hearts of onr large cities. The B. ft O. since extending their line into Philadelphia nearly two years ago, naturally expect a good share of the business between the two points. They run through trains, stopping at Wilmington and Baltimore, in exactly three hours, and are generally on time. The fastest trains on the Pennsylvania, on* of which broaght yonr correspondent here, comes through in three heurs and nine minutes. The distance is one hundred aad thirty-eight miles. The road bed being in per feet condition, and the track leas curved than that of many other roads, make it one of the fineet rides la the country. You are sot as badly shaken ap aa on some of yeur roads through the mountains going twenty miles an hour. Both here and in Philadelphia the stations of the Pennsylvania are much the more centrally located, and this road ia doing a great deal more than ita share of the business. The nine minutes in time la • little consideration, compared with the comfort aad many advantages ef travel offered by this road. Tea will seldom make a mistake In taking tha Pennsylvania or any of the numerous branches operated by this oompaay. Tha first thlag that atrikes yonr eye on ooming into Washington, is tha Washington Monument and the dome of the Capitol. Theee can be seen several miautoe before the train eemee to a stop, and I have always thought, that this is just aa It should be, aa they are the two pointa of most interact to strangers. The Capital comes first with svery one. It occupies a lofty seat, surrounded by about fifty acres of park, elegantly laid out. The building eeverg three and a half acres. The original bu ilding of Potomae Greek freestone waa finished n 1818, aad the marble wings, which are now occupied by the Bouse of Bepreeentativee and Senate were completed la IMS. They were thought ample than, but are vary asneh crowded now. The demeef Iran is two hundred aad eighty feet high. The original stairways are on the Xaet side of the Capitol, and this waa the direction the city waa expected to extend. Thoee who owned property in this direction held it nt a vary high prioe; for this, and various other reasoaa, the main part of tha City la built behind the Capitol. About the year 187S it waa decided to erect a grand stairway and terrace, on the West side facing the City proper, aad the work ia juat now being completed, at a coat of about |I,0*0,000. There are so many thlnga to see here it ia uselees for me to name any part of them. The great bronze door at the main entrance cost $>8,090 and weighs ten tons. The panels represent events in the life of Columbus; such as "The Discovery of the Mississippi Biver by DeSoto, 1541," "Xlie Baptism of Pocahontaa, 1611," Ac. The strange phenomena of sound in Statuary Ball, interests overy one, and you can always find those standing around, familiar with the Hall, who aro ready to explain. All tho surroundings aprve to make us thoughtful when in the Capitol. Here soems the grand center of our country, the greatest on earth. All our laws must originate hore, and also we bare here tho highest judicial bar, tbo United States Supreme Court; to which ail our District, Circuit and Su preme courts look for tho ilual decisions. The v liief Justice, and eight Associate Justices, with their long bluck robes and sober, intelli- Bey lmve no prevailing style of dress, they suit to be here on New Years eve.

Corcoran, who died here oue year ago, The Department of Agriculture, the conservator ice, with their four propagating houses, where a large collection of trees and plant® froin all parts of the world may be seen, the rose house, the Smithsonian institute, and National Museum arc all near together. The first fioor of the Smithsonian Institute containa-SjOOO specimens of birds, and to be brief, I will say that there arc few things the National museum does not contain. When you come to Washington do not forget the Navy yard. By all means see the big guns, and if you wish to hear them make it wide arenaea, street*, buildlnga, Its churchee and broad parka with many fountains and little artificial lakee, and the beautiful winding river in the distance form a panorama not soon to be forgot. The country for about ten miles around can be seen on a clear day. The park between the monument and the White House is artistically laid out aad well cared for. By taking the elevator both waya you miss seeing the stone blocks, on the inner walls, contributed by the States, Territories, Foreign Governments, rural districts, Secret Societies, Colleges, Universities, Ar. Bather than wait for the elevator to come down tho writer climbed up nine hundred iron steps and as this waa quite an undertaking, had lots of time to read the inscriptions, while waiting on the landings for the overproduction of breath to subside. It Is well lighted all the way up by tbe incandescent electric light. The monument eost $1,(00,000. If Bay of you should desire to become renowned, and make big money by living a life ef eaae In a "Dime Museum," come hen and Jump from the top ef this shaft. If the leap should prove a failure cn your part, your friends could make the money by exhibiting the "earth" yon fell through. The U. 8. Pension Building Is the newest, and one of the finest In tbe elty. It ia atrlctly fire proof and In the oourt of this building the Inauguration Ball will be held March 4. The court will accommodate 11,000 persons at the ball, and (0,000 closely packed. The White House is well named, as it is Hie whitest house here. The mansion has a Nerili and South front, and la open to visitors on weekdayi from 10 a. m. to I p. m. The Bast Boom is open to the public aad thoee who wish to see the Preddest, assemble In thia room,or in line out. aide, on Mandays, Wednesday a and Fridays about 1J* p. m. Mr*. Cleveland eeeaalonally reeeivee with tbe Preeldent and la famous for her whole hearted smile and grasp when shaking hands. During her stay here shshas net made a single enemy. I had tbe pleasure ef hearing the Bev. Charles Wood, whose family Mr*. Cleveland visits quite frequently in Philadelphia, lecture a few evening ago. He is truly grand, good man; and the fact of our "First Lady" having her best frienda among such noble people proves high sense of tasto. The huge pile of granite. Iron aad elate juat west of the Bxeeutive Mansion is the State War and Navy Building, the noblest in the world. In the Library may be seen the original draft ef the Declaration of Independence by Thomas Jefferson and tbe deck upon which be wrote it. Thia la the iargeet building here; it oovers four and a naif seres, and cost $10,700,000. The Treasury Building where they keep the "surplus" is of Interest to all. There la one cash vanlt that often containa $10,000,000 at a time. Ia the quartern of tbe secret service division they have a great collection of Inatrumenta need by counterfeiters, and many photograph* of notorious characters. fThisis better known aa the Rogues' Gallery, and ia not a good place to be found looking for the pioturee of your friends. The Bnreau of Ingraving and Printing, where tbey make the paper money and bonds, throw* a shadow over all of our national banks as a place to see piles of money. The work ia all ateel engraving and no one artiat 1* allowed to know how to make an entire plate, but it must pass through several hands. The bills are printed in sheets and separated when tbe seal is placed on them. A great many ladies are employed in thia department of the Government. When you are being shown through this building, tbey take the number in each party, starting with the guide, and they are very particular to see that theoriginai number is with them whon they return to the ontranco. Tho Interior Department or Patent OIBce on Seventh Street contain* 200,000 models. Every one obtaining a patent in the U. S. is obliged to leave a model here. Just across tbe street, South, is tho General Patent OiUc.0 another immense mass of white marble. Every stranger coming here to tho City, vis- ["bat it taa't going to happen this year." The monument ia easily reached from any part of the City by taking the Bolt Lino itrcot railway. ThooloTatorwilloarry yonto tho Up If yon are willing to wait for it, la about fifteen minutes.
