Our lirnt stop was in Wash ington, D. C We arrived there in the M'liiug, ami the first sight of 1 n,.)H are nerved from 2 to this city, an we bilii'ld it, with it lofty marble and granite building, itx t i v wide, and beautifully paved htn-ets. was-imlei-d a grand sight' a-, the soft ta.VH (.f the i h ctrie limits showed all in pel-fret as sunlight. During our stay there, we vinited the "White House," V. S. War and Navy Departments t'. S. Treasury, Patent Oilier, V. S. Post Ofliee and Deal htter OlT.ee, National Mu seum, Smithsonian Institute, and the I". S. Capitol. Of earh on of these many interesting thing" might be said if time permitted. I shall however mention a few. We spent more time in the Capitol than any other public building, we saw there ninny thing v.hii h tiiur will not ef face while memory lasts. On enter ing the Model room where are the statues of our departed statesmen whii-h arc so life-like that for a moment we are almost reluctant to make ourselves believe that it is but cold marble. The Library of Con gress is a grand sight with its thous ands of books of all kinds and styles of two copies each, of all copyright ed books of the United States. The Senate Chamber, the Marbht room, the President's Reception room, me all magnificently furnished, the furniture in the Reception room alone costing M7,00(). In the Na tional Museum we see wonders from all over the world. Many beautiful things from Japan, China, and India, as well as the clothcg Grorgv' VVi rrfjaigton wore when lie was christ K;l. Another beautiful building by ilsi-lf, and has a floor of stone, the nppearancc would be diffi cult to describe. Kvery family, how ever small, has a colored cook. White w omen do not cook or wash dishes, and to do their own washing and ironing is never thought of, that is work sent out of the house. No one ever speaks of an afternoon, en as tliey "morning until 12 M. wiien t rip evening begins, ho as you passtoand from your dinner yen are saluted w ith a hearty "(lood-evening." Din- P. M.

If until the iiiescnt time we have been so inter csted in new sights and faces as to give home and friends only a pass ing thought, we now feel our loveli ness as we think of the beautiful green fields and hills, tho golden corn fields and the orchards with their tri es heavy laden with delic ious fruit, and when we havo reach ed our destination we find such a marked change from our own cus toms and habits, that we call hardly realize that we are only a distance of six hundred miles from Cenral Penn sylvania.
