Special Correspondence of The '’iti/.hn.
* .r. S. R.” IN "VV AS i IIJNGJ-'X’O NT.
Washington, D. C.. July 16th,
1882.—You will see by this letter
that I am at present in Washington
—the Federal -Capitol. I arrived
here on Wednesday evening last, and
will probably remain until the latter
part of next week.
i have been very much impressed
with what I have seen of Washington
life, and the glimpses of national af
fairs that I have caught on the wind,
have afforded me the subject matter
"f promiscuous speculation. In the
first pi ice, I find Washington quite a
change—in every respect—to New
York. The difference in latitude is,
indeed, not so great, but the wide
divergence in manners, habits, cus-
tom-*, etc , is marked and peculiar.—
The men dress differently, and act
differently ; the ladies look sweeter,
talk prettier, and dress more tastety
in Washington than in New York.
Here everything is broad, open, cool;
there everything is narrow, close,
liot. Here they find time to prom
enade, to gensip, to discuss issues;
ihero it is business, business, business,
until there is no end to the racket
and clatter, the rush and the joar.
file clank and the clang of business.
business! The wide dissimilarity
Between the two places might he
traced ad infinitum, but I hasten on
to other subjects.
Of course, there is much to be seen
in Washington. The Capitol, the
sevf ral Departments, the Smith-
tjnian Institute, the Corcoran Art
GalDry, the Army Medical Museum,
nnd the Bdtimoro and Potomac
dep t. (where tho assassin of the
President fired the fa;ai Hi >t) —all
afford objects of interest, that sh uUl
not be overlooked by the visitor to
the national Capitol. I have seen
these several points, short sketches
of which may not be med apropos at
this juncture. And first,

RELIABLE SELF-GUE
PATENT OFFICE.
A sliort ramble in the Patent Office
yesterday revealed to me many inter
esting curiosities. This building,
you will remember, was almost totals
ly destrojed by a disastrous fire that
occurred in 1877. It has since been
restored, and is again invested with
all of its pristine attractiveness.—
Among the most curious articles, de
posited in this museum are the relics
and mementoes of Gen. Washington,
the father of his country and the
famous “toter’’ of the little hatchet.—
These articles are of historic interest.
As I have extended my letter to some
length, I will close by simply giving
a list of what I saw. Among the
articles belonging to Gen. Washing
ton were the following curious relics:
Treasure chest, table, pants and vest,
part of t-he smaller or sleeping lent —
venerable as the canopy that shield' d
the illustrious General in the d’.rk
days of hip country’s trial, tent-pins,
l>l°Vikets, bed-cuituin worked by
Martha Washington, tent poles, and
irons, camp-chest containing 2 knives,
5 forks, salt box and numerous bot
tles, bellows, Cost, pant- and vests
worn by Gen. W. when he resigned
his commission at Anapolis in 1783,
china, wash-stand, chandelier, tea-
board, vase, punch bowl, mirror,
compass, traveling secretary, hall
lantern lroin Mt. Vernon, etc., etc., all
once in the possession of him who has
been pronounced by Gov. Henry Lee:
‘'First in tear-—first in peace—first in
the hearts of his countrymen.”—
There were other interesting souvenirs,
some of which were : a coat worn by
Gen. Jackson at the batde of New Or
leans, also a brace of pistols which be
longed to Gen. J.; a coat worn by
Gen. Pnez, associate of binion Bolivar,
i6'd-
Watcrmelons—no end to them.
Mr. Dink Word was in town a few
days ago.
It is said that Mr. John Nelson
makes a good constable as well as a
successful fox hunter.
The prospects of the Western c ,rn
crop is not discussed even by the loafers
since the induction of watermelons.
Business is so dull that merchants
and clerks have the counters to them
selves for lounges, and they have little
more to do than use them.
It is rumored that Mr. Abram Clfcnce
wilt move his family this week, from
Green’s Cut to Poythressville, their
summer residence, near McBean.
There is a talk of building a cotton
seed oil factory, or some other kind of
a fae'ory at Palmers mill, to begotten
up by subscrip ion. What next.
I wish Walter KuLlit hadn’t built
that fine house at the Groves plaoe. It
is the envy of all ? lie married ladies in
the settlement. My wife keeps saying,4
“if —if I was a man !” Well, yes, but
I’m glad she isn’t.
All the pupils of Miss M. Lafronia
Evans, especially the young misses, are
growing tired of their long vacation,
and especially of her protracted absence
from the neighborhood. Miss E. has
many friends among her patrons, and
other people too.
Messrs J. P. Jones and J. I) Rober s
are reported lo be still going ahead in
the corn growing business on the Sa-
vann-'h river swamp, and feasting and
fattening on catfish slews every lay. I
am going to call on the boys some even
ing about supper lime.

monolith columns in the extensions,
and these are of marble, taken from a
Maryland quarry. The dome is of
iron, painted white, surmounted by a
statue of Liberty, a bronze figure

feather of this statue is 287 foot 11
inches above tho base line of the

curious prin ing press of i-enj. Frank
lin. It would be quite interesting to
hear more about this last mentioned
curiosity, deserving as it does more than
passing mention ; but the length of my
jotter warns me to avoid the inclination
--almost temp atiou—andhasiou to a
close, reserving a description of it until
a future time.

the beautiful town of Port Royal and
the delightful sea breezes.
Miss Sallie Knight, and old and re
spected lady, died a day or two ago, at
her sister’s residence, Mrs, Mary Per
kins, near this place. The two sisters
had lived more than 1111*00 score and ten
years togeihei. The lor.oly sister has
the irue sympathy of a'l her neighbors.
The intermarriage of the Chinaman,
Loo Chong and Miss Fulcher, near this
place a couple of weeks ago, caused a
big sensation and much gossip among
the neighbors. Well, what of it? 'iHis
is the progressive nineteenth century,
and if the contracting parties aro satis
fied, we don’t propose to lose much
sleep about it. Notwen.
