Show Bcaulliul Washington. People who have recently visited the city of Washington declare that is is already the most beautiful oi cities; that with the new structures going Up every year, and with the improvements improve-ments and embellishments which are being constantly con-stantly added, in a few years more no other spot under the sun will compare with it. The only place where a kindred effort is being made to beautify a capital is Berlin, but while Berlin has, because of its age and because of the ov ' .ts that have wrought there, some "glories which Washington Washing-ton cannot expect for perhaps a century yet. Ber- lin also has many of the grosser works Which HlH have been fastened upon it by Its greater age 91 which it will require a long time to remove. Some JnH of the public structures of Washington are very piH splendid. Nothing in the world is finer than the IfiB Capitol building; the Congressional Library is '91 magnificent; the Treasury is fine and there are Immm many more., We hope to the rest a National Uni- ilH versity will be, added. The building for the Pan- ll American Bureau ought to be a regal structure. , H When the winter breaks up and the spring iH puts on her robes Washington is a place of en- '"ymm chantment, so it is in the autumn, say from the 11 first of September until the winter storms come ' 1B on. In the summer the climate is not of the best H and the winter climate is variable and change- "Jl able to a degree. But all in all it is a most win- 3H some place and grows in loveliness every day. 91 |
