Tbat wbiob even tbe yonngest inhabi tants of Wasbiugton, fifteen years be lieved tbey would never live to see, has become tbe most prominent of no ccmplisbed facts In tkU district. Higher llmu tbe bauuer of any nation over tie" before from any architectural pile, flits night and day tbe flag of tbe stars nud stripes from tbe capstone of tbe Wash ington Monument. As tbe colors aloft there stream stiff t.nd straight from tbe wind, they have a wierd eflect suggestive of tbe lonesomcness of n mountain sum mit, of the flight of a solitury blgb-tly-ug bird close uuder the clouds. It has beeu n curious studv to watch the effect of tbe recent work on this monument.

Tbo tapering -plnuacle bad dona It alL It bad altered tbe effect like n miracle, changing the shnft from tbe "shot tow er," "chimney," "grain elevator," etc, which it bad beeu for years invidiously dubbed, into n structure of tine grandeur nud urt. Such Is tbe universal confes sion here; and uow higher than cathe dral, or campanile, or pyramid, tbe great marble mole, fully adopted by tbe genius of tho place, and Ihe nfftctlon of the Washington population, toners aloft a thing of delicato splendor against tbo sky, white and clean as tbe winter clouds florttluu languidly above il. Tbe com pletion of lbs monument, wbiob is to bo dedicated Feb. 22ad, minks' the limit or a very significant period lu tbe history of this city n period iu which the peo ple not ouly of Washington, but tbe whole country, have come to rt-cogmzo with npproval, tbe scheme of buildiug up aud adorning at publio cost Ibis city as tbe capital of tbo nation. The iuorense, instead of tbe usual de- crense, iu tbu publio debt is variously commented upon here, Mr. Hulmaii, of Indiana, snys it meant that the extraya gaut expenditures of tho Government must bo reduced. Mr. Buckuer, oI'Mis souri, prophesies that Ibis falling off in tbo revenues will cnutinuo nil winter nud ns long ns tbe depression continues. Mr. Bnckner is chalrmau of Ihe House Committee on Banking aud Currency, He lays tbe business depression at the door of tho scarcity of gold. "The gold of tbe world," he snjs, '"is being used up." Mr. Kllis , of Ljulslana, tLiuks that n war ia about tho only tbiug tbnt will bolp matters now. Mr. Rau, of Kansas, tbiuks so, too, nud both jidn in covert wish that China and Franco would como into opou collision, if only lor the good it would da tho business in terests of tho world. Tho folly of both houses originating bills upon tbo same subject is to bs some what sndly demonstrated iu the prospec tive defeat of both the Cullom bill in tbe Senate and tho Itcngau bill iu tbe House, which provide for tbo regulation of inter-Stato commerce. Tbo Cullom bill will pass the Senato to morrow, aud the Reagan bill will pass tbo Houso some day this week. There is not much similarity iu tbe provisions of tbe two bills, so tbnt it is uot likely tbat the Senato will pay the least attention to tbo Reagan measure, tbat it is probable tbat tbo House will take uotics of tbe Cullom production. Tbo t.pshot of tbe business will be thai neither bill will be reaohed, and tho railroads as usual will come out first best. So for as the Ilonse conld accumpllsb It, there is to ba n Department or Agri culture and a Cabinet minister to look after tho beans nud potatoes of the coun try. Is it possible tbat Congress sup poses tbat any Cabinet minister is going to mako n specialty of advancing tbe agricultural over any other of tbo many interests of thh p'rodlgious country? And if such a Cabinet mlulster were disposed to mako a specialty of playing iuto tbe bands of grangers as tho h'fgb muck-a-muck of officialism, bow long will it bo betoro tbe inm interests of Pennsylvania, tbe codfiih interests of Massachusetts, tbo wooden-nutmeg and brass-clock interests of Connecticut, and tho Saddle Reek oyster interests of VirginU aud Miryland, will be bowling lor places iu the Cabinet? The resident popnlation of WasbinRtou have tnkeu upon tbemselv.-s to inaugn- rite Mr. Cleveland in a stylo entirely becoming to the kind of n President who gets n chance to bs iuauguraled bnt once in a quarter of a century. There is to bs more of a military display perhaps than oomforls with tbe Republlcau sim plicity lint wo boast of, but what kind of a demonstration would wo have with out tbe blaze of buttons and the blare of trumpets? The ground floor of tbe uew Pension OQlee is to beset npart for Mr Cleveland's ball, nnd tbo elegnuoe of the raiment to ba worn on that occasion shall describs to you as minutely as shall possibly daro to. Broairiiii's New Yorlc Lstler. Speelia to the Cimwn AnvcceTs : At the opening of the week tany New York aired Itself at the Charily Dall atihe Academy of Minic.

The blotter of tho First police precinct in Brook lyn on Tuesday night reports Mary Smith died of starvation mother slowly dyine of starvation and want, Ann McCaffrey (Put nam avenue) dying ol starvation.

Several Commissioners to the K.t po sition went home to ipend the holidays. Among them wero Gov. Furnas, of Ne braska; A. 1'. Sharpstein, of Washingtm Territory; A. C. Davis, of Michigan; A.

One can stand for houra wntcUing thd handling of cotton from the field through its numerous manipulations: picking, ginning, pressing; theft carding, splning weaving, ready for the sowing machine; or after spinning, spooling, for sewing thread. Along the same row Is r machine for making spools from little blocks of wood. It feeds nnd operates itself automatically, turning out several thousands spools au hour. Also the silk industry, which has grown so rapidly, wherein nearly every stato and territory if more or less en gaged, attracts undivided attention. Tho working of silk from tho cocoon by reel ing ofTtlie tiny fibres, and warping itfor the looms, where handkerchiefs, libbons and dress-goods are manufactured right before your oyca, seemingly without the least diflicultv. The fact is nearly every art known to human ingenuity can be practically seen in operation by attending thoExposition. It seems that nothing is left unrepre sented, which proves tliis is Indeed tbe World's Fair. Every Stale and Territory in the gov ernment is supplied with a register and till visitors nro requested to sign their name and residence, also where they arc stopping in tho city. Arkansas lias the largest bo k, but Dakota gets ahead of it by having n double or duplicate copy. Tho impression has gone abroad that visitors to the orld a Exposition are charged cxhorbitant rates for board and rooms. AVhllo this, no doubt, has been the case iu some instances, yet it is un necessary. The writer called on Walt and Moulton, 23Carondelct street, who net ns commissioners between the hotels, boarding house and "rooms to let" peo ple, and was informed that the average price paid by visitors for room and board wns less man ? a per day.
