The demanda now made "by an educated musical public are ,80 exacting that very few Piano-Forte manufacturers can produce instruments that will stand the test which merit requires. SOHIUER ót CO., as manufacturers, rank amongst this chosen few, who are acknowledged to be makers of standard instruments. In these days when many manufacturers urge the low price of their wares rather than their superior quality as an inducement to purchase, it may not be amiss to suggest that, in a Piano, quality and price are too inseparably joined to expect the one without the other. Every Piano ought to be judged as to the quality of its tone, its touch and its workmanship ; if any one of these is wanting in excellence, however good the others may be, the instrument will be imperfect. It is the combination of these qualities in the highest degree that constitutes the perfect Piano, and it is this cumbinatiou tbat has given ** SOHMKK," its honorable position with the trade and the public. Musical authorities and critics prefer the SOHMË Ii " Pianos, and t4iey are purchased by those possessing refined musical taste and appreciating the richest quality of tone and the highest pertection generally in a Piano. THE SOHMER PIANOS ARE USED IN THE FOLLOWING INSTITUTIONS : y. T. College of Music; Vogt'sCoaservatory of Music; Villa Maria Convent, Montreal; Villa de Sa'ee Convent, Long Island; y.

Mr. Cleveland was born in the town of Essex, State of New Jersejr, on the 18th day of March, 1837, and is one of a family of nine children—four sons and five daughters. He is a descendant of a New England family, which has been in this country two hundred years. Mr. Cleveland's great-grand¬ father, Aaron ClevelancL was a Congregational minister of Norwich, Connecticut. Richard Cleveland, the father of the subject of this sketch, was educated for the ministry, and was of the Presbyterian faith. He married a Miss Neal, of Balti¬ more, and settled as pastor of a church in New Jersey, where Grover was born. Mr. Cleveland's educational facilities and opportunities were rather Umited, consisting of a chance to attend the com¬ mon schools and an academy at Clinton, Oneida County, New York, for a brief period. After leaving the academy he be¬ came a clerk for a year at one of the eleemosynary institutions of New York City; then he returned home, determined to go West to seek his fortune, and in May, 1855, with a companion, started for Cleveland, Ohio. Mrs. Cleveland says he was at¬ tracted to that city because it had his name. On his way there he stopped at Buffalo to visit an uncle, Mr. Lewis P. Allen, who used his best endeavors to dissuade his nephew from going farther. To make his argument and entreaties effectual, he offered Grover a clerkship, which was accepted. Having determined on upon law as a profession, it was not long before he made arrangements to become a law student in the ofBice of Rogers, Bowen & Rogers. In 1859 he was admitted to the bar, passing most creditably a rigid examination. He continued with his preceptors four years. He was then ap¬ pointed Assistant District-Attorney for the County of Erie, for a period of three years. In 1865 he was nominated by the Democratic County Convention for District Attorney, but was defeated by the Hon. Lyman K. Bass. Mr. Cleveland formed a law co-partnership with the late I. V. Vanderpool, January 1, 1866, which was continued until 1869. He then became a member of the firm of Laning, Cleveland & Falsom. In November, 1870, Mr. Cleveland was chosen Sheriff of Erie County, and at the close of that service became a member of the law firm of Bass, Cleveland & Bissell. In 1881 Mr. Cleveland was chosen Mayor of Buffalo, but before the expiration of his term was elected Governor of the Empire State. As Governor he has been well-poised and opposed to all venal, hasty or extravagant legislation, and has won the good opinion of the great mass of the çeople. His election to the Presidency of the United States is a proud victory for the Democratic party, it being twenty-four years since a Democrat has been at the head of the Government. VICE-PRESIDENT THOMAS A. HENDRICKS. Thomas A. Hendricks was born September 7, 1819, near ZanesvUle, Ohio. His father, John Hendricks, was born in Western Pensyjvania, being a member of a family of one of the first settlers in Ligonier Valley, Westmoreland County. The mother of Thomas A. Hendricks was of Scotch descent, her maiden name being Jane Thomson. She was a grand¬ daughter of one John Thomson, a Scotchman, who emigrated to Pennsylvania anterior to the Revolutionary War. When Thomas A. Hendricks was six months old his parents removed from near Zanesville, Ohio, to Madison, Ind., on the Ohio River. Together with his brother and sister, he at¬ tended the village school, from which his brother Abram passed to the University of Ohio, and, after graduating, be¬ came a Presbyterian minister, while Thomas A. entered the college at South Hanover. After graduation he began the study of the law at home under the instruction of Judge Major. From early boyhood he had displayed a fondness for legal discussions, often attending court when a mere lad in order to hear the discussions of counsel. After a considerable period of study at home he journeyed to Chambers burg. Pa., where, in the office of his uncle, .ludge Thomson, he complet¬ ed the course necessary for admission to the bar, and returned home, and was admitted to practice at Shelbyville. From the year 1848 his legal life had been closely interwoven with his political, and it is almost impossible to separate the two. In this year he was elected to the Legislature, serving one term, declining renomination, and in 1850 was chosen delegate to the Convention to alter the Constitution of the State. In 1851 he was elected to Congress from the Indianapolis District; was re-elected, and in a third canvass suffered defeat. He had hardly settled down to the practice of his profession after his unsuccessful political campaign before President Pierce appointed him Commissioner of the General Land Office. After four j^ears' service as Commissioner he returned to Indiana, and in 1860 ran for Governor, to be beaten by his competitor. Colonel Henry 8. Lane. Two years later, in 1863, the Democrats obtained a majority in the Legislature, and, in recognition of Mr. Hendrick's services, elected him United States Senator. At the expiration of his term in the Senate he was nominated and elected Governor in 1873. In the exciting political conflict of 1876 he was the nominee of his party for the Vice-Presidency, carrying his own State by over 5,000 majority. Although he and his party believed that Tilden and Hendricks were elected, the Electoral Commission formed to decide the question.decided that Hayes and Wheeler were the men, in which decisioft Mr, Hendricks acquiesced, though doubting its justice.

Bt a. c. wheeler. I WASHINGTON-FIRST TERIVI-1789. The Father of his Country was inaugurated the first Pres¬ ident of the United States in the City of New York, where Congress was then assembled, on the last day of April, 1789. The 4th of March was the time appointed for the new Gov¬ ernment under the Constitution to come into power, but many of the members of Congress were so dilatory in their attendance that a House of Representatives was not formed till the 1st, nor a Senate till the 6th, of April, and until a quorum was present in each H ouse it was not competent for the electoral vote to be counted and the President declared duly elected. Washington received the official announce¬ ment of his election by special messenger at Mount Vernon on the 14th, and two days after started for New York. His journey was a continuous triumphal march. Military escorts and cavalcades of citizens conducted him from place to place, while in the towns and cities through which he passed he was welcomed by crowds of people, who raised triumphal arches in his honor. On the 31st he reached Elizabethport, near which place he was met by a deputation from Congress, and at noon on that day embarked on board a magnificently decorated barge with thirteen oars, manned by thirteen branch pilots. Attended by numerous packets and barges he was then rowed through the Kill-von-Kull and over the bay to Murray's Wharf, his approach to which was heralded by the booming of thirteen guns and the music of the bands. He was here met by the Governor, George Clinton, and con¬ ducted with military honors through an immense concourse of citizens to the residence prepared for him, and a splendid illumination closed a day of extravagant joy, which probably had not had its equal in the Empire City. The inauguration took place on Thursday, the 30th of April, and has in great measure served as a precedent for all succeeding inaugurations. Congress had determined that the ceremony of taking the oath of office should take place in public and in open air. In the morning religious services were performed in all the churches in the city. At noon the Presidential procession started from Washington's residence for the hall of Congress—the City Hall, in Wall Street, at the head of Broad. It was headed by a military escort; then followed the committees of Congress and heads of depart¬ ments in carriages ; next came Washington alone in a car¬ riage, and next his aide-de-camp and secretary in another carriage, after which came the foreign ministers, and the citizens brought up the rear. On reaching the hall the Pres¬ ident, who was attired in a dark-brown suit, with white silk stockings, silver buckles, steel-hilted sword and powdered hair, according to the fashion of the day, passed through a double line of soldiers into the Senate Chamber, in which both Houses were assembled, where he was met and con¬ ducted by Vice-President Adams to the chair of state. After waiting a few moments he was informed that everything was prepared for his taking the oath of office, when he proceeded to the open balcony in the front of the hall, in the centre of which was a table covered with crimson, and bearing a crim¬ son cushion, on which was lying a handsomely-bound Bible. His appearance on the balcony was the signal for an enthu¬ siastic burst of applause from the multitude assembled out¬ side. After heartfully acknowledging this token of popular esteem, he sat down in an arm-chair placed near the table. The same chair was lent by its owner for a similar use at the last inauguration. After a brief pause Washington rose, and with Adams, Hancock, Knox, Steuben, and others near him, placed his hands reverently upon the open Bible, and Chan¬ cellor Livingston administered to him the oath : " I do sol¬ emnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of Presi¬ dent of the United States, and will, to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." At its conclusion he added, "I swear, so help me God," and then, stooping down, he kissed the Bible. Livings¬ ton then stepped to the front, and, waving his hand, ex¬ claimed, "Long live George Washington, President of the S 1 S n i s s I s s § i s k s s s s s s s s s s I s s s s s s s I I r//'' History of Former In United States !" and a flag instantly hoisted over the cupola of the hall was the signal for booming guns at the Battery, the ringing of joyous peals by the church bells, and the hearty applause of the people. After again acknowledging the public applause, he returned to the Senate Chamber, where with much feeling he delivered his memorable inaug¬ ural address to the two Houses of Congress, after which he walked, accompanied by the whole assemblage, to St. Paul's Church, where prayers were read by the Bishop, and the public ceremonial of the day was completed. The day was celebrated by the people as one of grand rejoicing, and when night drew on a display of fireworks and a general illumina¬ tion of the city terminated the festivities. WASHINGTON-SECOND TERM 1793. A unanimous electoral vote called Washington a second time to the chief executive chair of the nation. Congress was then assembled in Philadelphia, its hall being situated in Chestnut Street, at the corner of Fifth. At the appointed time, on March 4, Washington arrived at this hall in a hand¬ some white coach, bearing on its sides emblematical designs of the four seasons painted by Cipriani, and drawn by six superb white horses. On reaching the door of the hall two gentlemen ushers, with long white wands, preceded the Pres¬ ident from the coach to the Senate Chamber, where the two houses of Congress and a vast multitude were assembled. As Washington entered all rose and remained standing in silence until he had passed the broad aisle and up the steps at the upper end of the chamber, and had taken his seat in the chair of the President of the Senate. He was dressed in a full suit of the richest black velvet, with diamond knee- buckles, black silk stockings, japanned shoes with silver buckles; hair powdered and en queue; a dress-sword with richly-ornamented hilt was at his side, and a plain cocked hat, decorated with an American cockade, in his hand. On the right and the left and slightly in advance of Washington sat the President of the Senate and Judge Cushing, who had been appointed to administer the oath, while the Cabinet ministers and foreign representatives completed the group at the head of the chamber. After a momentary delay, dur¬ ing which the assemblage resumed their seats, the President of the Senate arose and informed Washington that one of the Judges of the Supreme Court was there ready to administer to him the oath required by the Constitution, upon which the President of the United States rose, took from his breast a roll of manuscript, and then, in a deep, rich voice, read a brief address. Judge Cushing then administered the oath of office required by the Constitution, after which Washing¬ ton retired and the spectators dispersed. JOHN ADAMS-1797. Washington having declined a third term of office, John Adams was elected President by a majority of three over ThomaA Jefferson, who, according to the Constitution as it then stood, became Vice-President. The inauguration took place at Philadelphia on March 4, 1797. In accordance with a request from General Washington, the Senate met on that day at 10 o'clock to swear in the new Vice-President and new Senators. The Senate then repaired to the chamber of the House of Representatives to attend the administration of the oath of office to the new President. Mr. Adams entered accompanied by the Cabinet ministers and the Marshal of the district and his officers, and took his seat in the Speak¬ er's chair. Washington sat in front of the Judges. All being ready, Mr. Adams rose and dehvered his inaugural address. The oath of office was then administered by Chief Justice Ellsworth, after which the new Chief Magistrate retired. The scene was a very impressive one, more grief being exhibited, especially by ladies, who were present in great numbers, over the loss of the out-going than joy over the initiation of the incoming President. Mr. Adams tells us himself that Washington appeared to possess the only dry eye present, and appeared as if he had achieved a victory over him in saddling him with the cares of office. When the ceremony had concluded, Washington called upon Adams and cordially congratulated him, wishing that his adminis- I ; tration might be happy, successful and honorable. The citizens of Philadelphia, in testimony of their respect for Washington, prepared an entertainment designed for him as the principal guest, to which were invited the Foreign Ministers, members of the Cabinet, Naval and Military Of¬ ficers, and other persons of distinction. ! JEFFERSON-TWO TERMS-1801 AND 1805. Thomas Jepfbbson was the first President inaugurated at the new National Capitol of Washington, Congress having movecJ there in the previous year. This father of the Demo¬ cratic party, in opposition to the wishes of his friends who de¬ sired to escort him to the Senate Chamber, insisted that the ceremonies connected with this inauguration should be few and simple ; he is reported to have ridden to the Capitol on horseback, in plain dress and unattended, and, after tying his horse to the railings, to have entered the Senate Chamber, where he found the Congressmen, officials and a crowd of friends and spectators awaiting his arrival. He then seated himself between Vice-President Burr and Chief-Justice Mar¬ shall, and after a brief delay rose and delivered his inaugural address, after which he took the oath of office. He afterwards received at his residence the usual congratulatory visits of his friends and political opponents. It was a marked and not very gratifying event of the day that the retiring President, whom Jefferson had defeated in the presidential contest, and the retiring Speaker (Theodore Sedgwick, of Massachusetts), were not present at the inaugural ceremony, having suddenly left the city early in the morning. The difficulty created in Jefferson's first election, through Burr having received the same number of electoral votes as himself, led to the adoption of the present system of electing President and Vice-Presi¬ dent, and the first election in accordance with the amendment to the Constitution led to the re-election of Jefferson by an almost unanimous vote (receiving 162, against 14 for Pinckney), and George Clinton, of New York, by a similar vote, for Vice- President. Jefferson's second inauguration took place March 4, 1805, and was attended with the same simplicity as before. History of Former Inaugurations—Continued. MADISON-TWO TERMS-1809 AND 1813. The pathway to the Presidency had thus far been through the Vice-Presidency, both Adams and Jefferson having fiUed the latter office before election to the former. The new Presi¬ dent, Madison, stepped from the office of Secretary of State, which he held during the eight years of his predecessor's ad¬ ministration, to that of Chief Magistrate of the Nation. At the same time George Clinton was re-elected to the office of Vice-President. Four years later Madison was re-elected President, while Elbridge Gerry, of Massachusetts, became Vice-President. In the inauguration on the 4th of March in both 1809 and 1813 there was but little deviation from the practices that had been previously adopted, the inaugural address having been delivered and the official oath having been taken on each occasion in the Capitol, in the presence of both Houses of Congress, the leading officers of State, the Foreign Ministers, and as many citizens and ladies as the Chamber in which the ceremony was performed would hold ; the official observances being followed by the usual congratu¬ latory visits to the President. MONROE-TWO TERMS-1817 AND 1821. Again we have the office of President recruited from that of Secretary of State, James Monroe having held the latter position in Madison's Cabinet for more than five years imme¬ diately preceding his elevation to the higher ofidce. His first election was carried by 188 electoral votes to 84, whUe his sec¬ ond lacked only a single vote of being unanimous, Daniel D. Tompkins, of New York, being elected Vice-President on each occasion. With Monroe's first inauguration, which took place March 4, 1817, appears to have begun those festivities which during the past half century have attached themselves to the observances attendant upon an incoming President. The President and Vice-President were escorted by a caval¬ cade of citizens to the Capitol, where the retiring President, the Justices of the Supreme Court and the members of both Houses of Congress received them and accompanied them to the portico, where the new President delivered his inaugural I I 1 I i / I ! s s s s i i i I § I s I s s s s s i s s s s History of Former Inaugurations—Continued, address and took the oath of oflSce, this being the first occa¬ sion since Washington's first inauguration that the oath was administered in the open air, and the first time the address was so delivered. Military honors were awarded to the new President, both upon his arrival and departure from the Capitol. In the afternoon, visits of congratulation and re- spefft were paid to both the President and ex-President, and the festivities of the day closed with a grand ball given at Davis' Hotel. President Monroe's second inauguration took place on Monday, March 5, 1821, on which occasion the oath of office was administered by Chief-Justice Marshall, in the Chamber of the House of Representatives. The festivities of the first inauguration do not appear to have been repeated. JOHN QUINCY ADAMS-1825. The election of John Quincy Adams to the Presidency has been the only instance under the amended Constitution in which the House of Representatives has had to decide the elec¬ tion. It was the third successive occasion of the office being fiUed by a retiring Secretary of State, which position was held throughout Monroe's two terms. The new Vice President, John C. Calhoun, had also been a member of Monroe's Cab¬ inet, having filled the office of Secretary of War. The inaugu¬ ration on March 4, 1825, was attended with more pomp and splendor than any that had thus far taken place. Washington was crowded with military and other visitors. At noon the new President, dressed in a black suit of American manufac¬ ture, resembling that which Washington wore on his second inauguration, started for the Capitol in a procession headed by cavalry, and comprising in its ranks a great number of citizens, and on reaching his destination was received with miiitary honors by the Marine Corps. The ceremonial took place in the Chamber of the House of Representatives, which was filled to overflowing with Senators and Members, civil, naval and miUtary officers, with the judiciary, the diplomatic corps and a grand display of the fair sex. The retiring Presi¬ dent was there also to greet his successor. Salutes of artil¬ lery chimed in with the plaudits of the people upon the ter¬ mination of the official portion of the ceremony, which was gone through in a most impressive manner. Then followed the congratulatory visits, one of the first to offer a word of welcome to the new Chief Magistrate being his defeated rival. General Jackson. The inaugural ball, which was attended by the incoming and outgoing Presidents and the elite of the society of the visitors to Washington, wound up the gay pro¬ ceedings. JACKSON-TWO TERMS-1829 AND 1833. On the 4th of March, 1829, Washington witnessed scenes that it had not seen before, nor has it looked upon the like since. The spirited contest that had been waged between the Adams and Jackson parties in the election led thousands of the followers of the "Hero of New Orleans" to present themselves at his inauguration ; and they completely be- seiged their leader for the purpose of shaking hands with him long before it was time for the ceremonies of the day to be¬ gin. The new President was inducted into office beneath the Eastern portico of the Capitol. An immense crowd was as¬ sembled outside the building, and the appearance of the old soldier, accompanied by Chief-Justice Marshall and the high officers of State, was the signal for a thunder of applause. When silence had been obtained the oath of office was admin¬ istered, after which President Jackson delivered his inaugural address, but was only audible to those in his immediate neigh¬ borhood. After the official proceedings had terminated, the vast throng rushed to the White House, where refreshments, ice cream, wine, and barrels of orange-punch had been pro¬ vided. But so rough and turbulent were many of the self in¬ vited visitors that it was found impossible to serve the ladies present with the dainties prepared for them, while a great portion of the punch was over-turned and wasted. A quan¬ tity of the Uquor was carried into the garden to draw the crowd from the house. So unruly was the mob that it is not to be wondered at that on Jackson's second inauguration, in 1833, the revel was omitted, and the official ceremonies were of the simplest nature. John C. Calhoun,who had been re-elected I I I History of Former Inaugurations—Continued. to the olBce, was the Vice-President during Jackson's first term, and Martin Van Buren, of New York, during the second. VAN BUREN-1837. On March 4,1737, Martin Van Buren stepped from the chair " of Vice-President to that of President, while Kichard M. Johnson, of Kentucky, succeeded to the Vice-Presidency. The incoming Chief Magistrate was escorted by military to the Capitol, at the eastern portico of -which he delivered his address, and had the oath of office administered to him by the lately appointed Chief Justice Taney, after which salutes were fired, and, accompanied by the ex-President, he was es¬ corted to the White House. Here complimentary visits were received, and a congratulatory address made to the new Presi¬ dent by the Diplomatic Corps in full official costume. A grand ball took place in the evening. HARRISON AND TYLER-1841. Defeated in the next Presidential election by the Whig candidate whom he had defeated four years before. President Van Buren had to resign the Presidential Chair to General Harrison, whose inauguration on March 4, 1841, varied little in its details from that of his predecessor. The oath of office was administered by Chief Justice Taney, and the inaugural address was delivered from the steps of the Capitol in a voice of such distinctness and force that it was perfectly audible to the vast crowd that was assembled to do honors to " Old Tip¬ pecanoe." But the new President had not a long lease of power, for, after a brief illness, he died on the 4th of AprU, just one month after his accession to office, being the first President who had died during the official term. By this event the Presidency devolved -upon Vice-President John Tyler, who was at that time at Williamsburg, Va , whither a letter, signed by the members of the Cabinet, informing him of the melancholy intelligence, was dispatched by special messenger. Mr. Tyler arrived in Washington early on the morning of the 6th, and took the oath at noon on that day. POLK-1845. James K. Polk, of Tennessee, who had beaten Kentucky's favorite statesman, Henry Clay, in the contest for the Presi¬ dency, was inaugurated on March 4, 1845. A procession left the hotel at which Mr. Polk was residing, at 11 o'clock, in which ex-President Tyler accompanied him in an open car¬ riage to the Capitol. Here they were ushered into the Senate Chamber, whence they moved in procession to the eastern portico, where the inaugural address was delivered, after which the official oath was administered by Chief Justice Taney. The crowd on the occasion was so dense that Presi¬ dent Polk found it necessary to proceed from the Capitol to the White House by a circuitous route. The afternoon was spent as is customary on such occasions, in the reception of congratulatory visits, and the evening closed with two inaug¬ ural balls given in honor of the new Chief Magistrate. TAYLOR-FILLMORE-1849 AND 1850. General Zachary Taylor, the Mexican hero, having carried the Whig cause once more to a successful issue and defeated General Cass in the Presidential election, was in¬ augurated on Monday, March 5, 1849. Accompanied by ex- President Polk he proceeded to the Senate Chamber, where a distinguished company, including the Diplomatic Corps, awaited them. Thence the incoming President was con¬ ducted to the eastern portico of the Capitol, where he took the oath of office and delivered his inaugural address in the presence of an immense crowd. There were also the usual salvos of artillery and congratulatory visits, and in the even¬ ing there were once more two inauguration balls, at both of which the new President presented himself. But, as in the case of the Whig President Harrison, the new Chief Magis¬ trate was not destined to live through his official term, for he died on July 9, 1850, Congress being then in session. The Cabinet, having by letter officially informed- Vice-President Fillmore of this sad event, the following noon was appointed for the inaugural proceedings. The oath of office was then administered by Justice Cranch, in the Chamber of the I S ?!! I § i I § § i I History of Former Inaugurations—Continued. I s s s § House of Representatives, in the presence of the Cabinet, the Members of both Houses of Congress and a large audience of ladies and gentlemen ; and a couple of hours after the new President sent a brief inaugural message to Congress. • PIERCE-1853. Notwithstanding the wintry aspect of the weather and a slight fall of snow, the inauguration on March 4, 1853, of General Franklin Pierce, who had beaten General Scott in the preceding election, was attended by a greater number of persons than had ever been present on any like occasion. A grand procession accompanied the new President to the Capi- toi, at the eastern front of which an immense platform was erected for the accomodation of the leading personages who wished to witness the inaugural ceremonies. On this plat¬ form General Pierce took the official oath and delivered his inaugural address to the vast crowd that surrounded him. The excitement of the day was enhanced by the pealing of bells, the firing of cannon and the strains of music. The President gave a banquet in the evening at the Executive Mansion. BUCHANAN-1857. The out-of-door show on the occasion of the inauguration of James Buchanan, March 4, 1857, far excelled anything of the sort that had thus far attended the initiatory ceremonial of a new Chief Magistrate. The new President had been ac¬ companied from his home in Pennsylvania by an escort of Fencibles, who, with more than a score of other military com¬ panies and numerous associations and fire companies, took part in the procession which conducted the President elect to the Capitol. A lofty chariot drawn by six horses, and contain¬ ing a female personating the Goddess of Liberty, and a large model man-of-war, the production of the workmen in the Washington Navy Yard, preceded and followed the new President, who, accompanied by Vice President Breckin¬ ridge, rode in an open carriage. With the ex-President, the Foreign Ministers, Senators, Judges and others, Mr. Buchanan proceeded to the eastern front of the Capitol, where the offi¬ cial oath, administered by Chief Justice Taney, and delivered his inaugural address. The remainder of the evening was spent in the manner usual on such occasions. LINCOLN-FIRST TERM-1861. When Abraham Lincoln succeeded to the office of Presi¬ dent the nation was in the throes of a great civil war. The excited state of the country gave more than usual interest to his tour from his home in Illinois to Washington, the abrupt close of which by his midnight passage through Baltimore is in everybody's recollection. Mr. Lincoln left WUlard's Hotel for the Capitol at noon March 4, with ex-President Buchanan, in an open carriage, accompanied by a procession in which the military and citizens took part. In this way they passed through the dense lines of spectators, kept in order by lines of soldiers who presented arms as they passed. The playing of patriotic airs and the display of national banners were heard and seen everywhere. It was past one o'clock before the distinguished pair reached the Capitol, where Vice-President Hamlin, the Diplomatic Corps, the Senators, the Judiciary and a fashionable company had long awaited them in the Senate Chamber. Thence they went in procession to the plat-, form erected at the eastern front, where tens of thousands were anxiously waiting for the expressions of one on whose acts so much of peace or war depended. At the close of this address the oath of office was administered by Chief Justice Taney, after which, amid the cheers of the people, the President re¬ turned to the Senate Chamber, and thence rode in his car¬ riage to the White House, where he afterwards received the congratulations of his fellow-citizens. Fearing a disturbance on the occasion of the inauguration a large military force was collected in Washington and placed under the immediate com¬ mand of General Scott, but fortunately nothing occurred to interrupt the harmony of the day. LINCOLN-SECOND TERM-1865. The Civil War was almost over when Lincoln was inaugu- i i History of Former Inaugurations—Continued. s i s I : rated the second time. General Lee was being closed pushed by Grant in Virginia, and Sheridan, hut a day or two before the inauguratioif ceremony, had routed Early and captured Chan- cellorsville. The country was in no humor for unnecessary display, nor did Mr. Lincoln himself desire it. He hixd almost reached the end of the great work to which he had been called, and he was completely absorbed in its final accomplishment. On the morning of March 4, 1865, he was in the President's room of the Capitol signing bills that had been passed by the expiring Congress. At the forming of the procession he had been too busy to come over from the Capitol and join, so that it had to move without him, Mrs. Lincoln, however, escorted by Senators Harlan and Anthony, came down in a carriage and took a position at the head of the column. The proces¬ sion then moved down to Pennsylvania Ave. and up to the Capitol, the crowd cheering constantly Mrs. Lincoln's car¬ riage under the impression that it was the President himself to whom they were doing homage. It was the first and only Presidential inauguration procession from which the man to be inaugurated was absent. When the procession reached the Capitol the Senate Chamber had already been filled. Among those who had come in and taken seats were Vice-Admiral Farragut, General Bank, General Hooker, all the members of the Diplomatic Corps, members of the House of Represen¬ tatives, and members of the Supreme Court. Mr. Lincoln came in escorted by Vice-President HaniUn. After Mr. Hamlin had made a short farewell address he administered the oath to Andrew Johnson, who had been elected Vice-President. Mr. Lincoln then arose and made his inaugural address, in which was the celebrated expression, "With malice toward none, with charity to all." At the conclusion the oath was admin¬ istered by Chief Justice Chase, and soon afterwards the pro¬ cession was reformed and returned to the White House, where a reception was given the same evening. ANDREW JOHNSON-1865. Mr. Lincoln was shot on the night of April 14, 1865, a little over one month after he had been inaugurated the second time. He died on the following morning, and Vice President Johnson was immediately notified by a letter, signed by all the members of the cabinet except Mr. Seward, who had been b.adly wounded at about the same time Mr. Lincoln was at¬ tacked. Mr. Johnson immediately took the oath, adminis¬ tered to him by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, in his room at a Washington hotel. There was great excitement and sorrow all over the country over Mr. Lincoln's death, and the inauguration of Mr. Johnson was but the briefest and sim¬ plest formality. I GRANT-1869. The first inauguration of General Grant, the illustrious General who had saved the Union by the success of his armies, was perhaps the most imposing ceremony of the kind that had been seen since the first in.auguration of Washington in 1789. The day was cold and rainy, and the streets of Washington, which had not yet been paved, were in a most disagreeable condition. The city, however, was full of people from every part of the country, the decorations were unusually beautiful, and the greatest enthusiasm pre¬ vailed. About half-past nine o'clock in the morning General Grant and his friend and Chief of Staff, General Rawlins, left the residence of the former to take the place assigned them in the procession. The General was dressed in a black coat, black trousers, silk hat, corn colored kid gloves, and black silk tie. He had a cigar in his mouth, and pnUed over his lap a beautiful robe made of white fox skin, a present to him from Mrs. McCook, the wife of one of the United States Ministers abroad. Company K, Fifth United States Cavalry, which had acted as a sort of body guard to General Grant since the war, was drawn up to serve as escort to the Presi¬ dential party. As the procession started the clouds broke away, the rain ceased and the sun came out beautiful and warm. The procession was made up of a large number of military and civic organizations, Gen. Alexander Webb being in command. It was a day of grand triumph for General Grant. The enthusiastic plaudits of the assembled thousands 1 1 1 S I S I S I I .1 I § I s I s î i s i s s § I f/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/yy/y/y/y/y/y/y/^^^ \ History of Former Inaugurations—Continued. o'clock, and the President, accompanied by a Senatorial Com¬ mittee, took position at the head of the column in an open barouche. General Barry, of the Regular Artillery, was the Marshal of the day. Nothwithstanding the intense cold there was an immense crowd on the streets, though not as much enthusiasm as when General Grant was inaugurated the first time. When the procession reached the Capitol the Presi¬ dential party went at once to the Senate Chamber. There Henry Wilson, the newly elected Vice-President, took the oath of office and proceeded to swear in the newly elected Senators. The procession then moved to the east front of the Capitol. General Grant sat down in a chair used by George Washington ninety years before. It was the first time it had ever been employed in the inauguration ceremonies, but it was understood that it should be used on such occasions by all succeeding Presidents. Chief Justice Chase administered the oath, and General Grant then read a short address. At the conclusion of the reading he resumed his position in his open barouche, returned to the White House, and with a large number of army and naval officers reviewed the procession from a temporary stand that had been erected on the side¬ walk in front of the White House. fell upon his ear from every direction, and no Roman conqueror ever met a people more unanimous in their homage. When the procession reached the east front of the Capitol the Senate Chamber had already been crowded by those who were anxious to see the ceremonies. General Grant alighted and went immediately to the Senate Chamber. Among the many distinguished people who sat in the gallery waiting to see the President elect was Mr. Samuel J. Tilden, of New York. Horace Greely was also there, in his white coat, .an attentive observer in the report¬ ers' gallery, and among the distinguished ladies who sat near by was Mrs. Kate Chase Sprague, the daughter of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Senator Benjamin Wade was then Chairman of the Senate, and among the famous members of the Senate at that time were Conklin, Pessenden, Morton, Edmonds, Wilson, Anthony, TrumbuU, Doolittle, Sherman, Hendricks and Thurman. Vice-President elect Colfax was sworn in, made a short address, and then Gefteral Grant, pre¬ ceded by the members of the Supreme Court, went to the portico of the east front of the Capitol, where he took the oath, administered by Chief Justice Chase. He then drew forth a roll of manuscript and read his inaugural address, and a well remembered incident is that while he was in the midst of this, the most important speech that he had ever attempted to make, his daughter Nellie, then but a little girl, jumped down from her seat near by, took a position immediately in front of her father, looked him steadily in the face for a moment and then returned without having said a word. When the General had concluded reading his address cannon boomed and the shouts of the vast multitude rent the air. He retired to the President's room for a few moments, then took his phseton, returned to the White House which had been va¬ cated in the meantilue by the retiring President, Mr. Johnson. GRANT-SECOND TERM-1873. General Grant was re-elected to the Presidency in 1872, and again inaugurated March 4, 1873. The day of his second inauguration was even more disagreeable than the first. The pageant began to move from the Executive Mansion about ten HAYES-1877. Perhaps the most gloomy and unsatisfactory of aU the in¬ augurations of the Presidents of the United States was that of Mr. Hayes in 1877, A large number of the people of the country did not believe that he had been fairly elected, and he assumed the olfice of Chief Magistrate over their solemn protest. March 4, 1877, coming on Sunday, the inauguration did not take place till the 5th, but Mr. Hayes had taken the oath on the previous Saturday evening, for it had been re¬ ported that Mr. Tilden, his competitor in the campaign of 1876, would proceed to take the oath of oflice of President in the City of New York on the 5th of March. Mr. Tilden, how¬ ever, never had any intention of doing so, and the taking of the oath by Mr. Hayes the first time was a needless precau¬ tion. The day of the 5th of March, 1877, came in cold and windy with snow. The procession was formed on Pennsyl- I I ///" I History of Former Inaugurations—Continued. I s s s § s 1 i I vania Ave., west of the White House, at 10 1-2 in the morning. Mr. Hayes had already gone to the White House, early in the morning, accompanied by Mr. Garfield, who was to suc¬ ceed him to the Presidency four years later. General Grant and Mr. Hayes, accompanied by Senator Morrill, took an open carriage and went to the head of the procession, having for a special escort a military company from Columbus, O. After the President had reached the Senate Chamber, Mr. Wheeler was sworn in as the Vice-President by Senator Ferry, President of the Senate pro tern., Vice-President Wilson hav¬ ing died during his term of ofiQce. General Grant and Mr. Hayes took seats immediately in front of the President's chair, and it is a historical fact that the latter sat with his legs crossed during the entire ceremony. A silent protest to the proceedings of the day was noticeable in the absence of Justice Field and Justice Clifford of the Supreme Court. It was the first time that any member of the Supreme Court had willingly remained away from the inauguration of a Presi¬ dent. Neither was Senator Joseph E. MacDonald, who had been appointed to the Committee of Arrangements, present, for he had peremptorily declined to serve. A few minutes .past 12 o'clock the Presidential procession left the Senate Chamber, went to the portico at the east- side of the Capitol, where Chief Justice Waite administered the oath. Mr. Hayes then read his address in a clear, loud tone of voice that could be heard by every one present. The procession returned to the White House, and there was a grand torchlight procession in the evening. GARFIELD-1881. There was more money spent on Garfield's inauguration than had been expended upon any preceding it. Washing¬ ton City was crowded as it had never been before, and nearly fifty arches spanned Pennsylvania Ave., the most splendid street on the American Continent. But the 4th of March, 1881, was a disagreeable day like so many of its predecessors, and the great crowds of sight seers had to put up with great inconveniences. It rained all the night before, and on the morning of the inauguration the weather was wet and cold. About thirteen thousand men, however, were in the pro¬ cession, most of them being citizen soldiery from the various States of the Union. General Sherman was the Grand Marshal of the day, and the parade was nearly four miles long, requiring nearly two hours to pass a given point. It was the largest display ever seen in Washington since Grant and Sherman held their great reviews in May, 1865. The retiring President, Mr. Hayes, and the President elect rode in an open carriage drawn by four bay horses. About noon the head of the procession reached the Capitol. Messrs. Hayes and Garfield went at once to the Senate Chamber, where they were greeted with enthusiastic cheers. General H ancock, who had run against Mr. Garfield for President, soon afterwards appeared in full uniform and was received with loud cheers from the gallery, and warmly greeted by Senators Conkling, Logan, Edmunds, Burnside, Cameron, Hawley and Anthony. A few moments later Vice-President elect Arthur arrived, and proceeded at once to take the oath, administered by the retiring Vice-President, Mr. Wheeler. He made a short ad¬ dress and it was remarked by all present that he bore himself with great ease and dignity, making a most favorable im¬ pression, and gi-ving a forecast of his admirable career as President of the United States. The usual procession was formed, and retired to the portico on the eastern steps of the Capitol, where Mr. Garfield de¬ livered his inaugural address, which was unusually long. The oath was administered to him by Chief Justice Waite. CHESTER A. ARTHÜR-1881. Like Andrew Johnson, Mr. Arthur came to the Presidency through the death by violence of the President. He was in New York on the 19th of September, 1881, when Mr. Garfield finally succumbed from the effects of Guiteau's untimely bullet, and that same night took the oath of office from one of the judges of the New York Supreme Court. He went to Washington the next day and again took the oath from the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. But he went into the office of President without the least display. !

By John Ankbtell, A.M., Presbyter of the Diocese of New York. God of our fathers, whose command From darkness called the radiant light. And bade the earth's foundations stand A token of Thy matchless might. Be with our land to bless and shield It's wave-beat shores from war's alarm. That golden harvests of the field May fill the happy reaper's arm. Thy power fpr many a circling year Has led us on through war to peace. Bright hope has chased away all fear. And angry cries of faction cease. Send strength and light from Heaven's [fair gates To those bright stars that gild our sky. And knit the Union of our States In bonds of Love that ne'er shall die. A Nation's voice with loud acclaim Welcomes to-day its chosen son. The welkin echoes back his name With chiming bell and volleying gun. Grant him the wisdom of our sires. Give strength and courage to his hand To guard our sacred altar fires And guide in peace our fatherland. Inaugural Ceremonies—Continued. INAUGURATION PYROTECHNICS.

First, we will say for the information of visitors that Con¬ gress recently enacted a law, governing conveyances in Washington until March 6th, and for its violation each offen¬ der must pay a fine of |25. Its features are as follows: Street cars and Herdics 5 cents—6 tickets for a quarter. Omnibuses between depots arid hotels 25 cents. Conveyances of all kinds drawn by one horse, for distances not exceeding fifteen squares, twenty-five cents each passen¬ ger ; for any greater distance twenty-five cents additional for one or two passengers, and fifty cents additional for three or four passengers. To and from theaters, for one or two passen¬ gers, $1.50 : to and from theaters, for three or four passengers, $2.00. Conveyances drawn by two horses, fifty per cent, advance on the one-horse vehicle rates. Conveyances drawn by one horse, seventy-five cents per hour, and by two horses fifty per cent, advance on that rate ; any fraction of an hour, not less than a quarter, after the first hour, at proportionate rates. Coupes twenty-five cents extra for first hour, and carriages fifty cents extra, if calied from a livery stable. SPECIAL RATES FOR THE INAUGURATION BALL. Herdic Cabs, five dollars ($5) each cab. Coupes, four dollars ($4) each coupe. Hansom Cabs, three dollars ($3) each cab. Conveyances (two-horse), according to agreement, not ex¬ ceeding ten doliars. No owner or driver of a vehicie, as before named, shaii re¬ fuse to carry a passenger at the foregoing rates ; nor shail he, when engaged, take up an additional passenger or passengers without the consent of the person or persons who first en¬ gaged him. Washington is a beautiful city. Apart from the magnifi¬ cent and costly public buildings, its broad avenues and at¬ tractive squares and iiarks wiii be remembered by the visitor with pleasure. Monuments and statues erected in honor of famous Americans are met with at every turn, while the great Washington Monument, recently dedicated, may be seen miles away. The street system is a little confusing. It is necessary to remember that the Capitol is the central point, and that there is added to the name of a location the direc¬ tion it is from the Capitol. The streets running east and west are designated by letters, whUe those running north and south are designated by figures or numerically. The avenues radi¬ ate from the Capitol, White House and the various squares. The north-western section of the city is mostly given to private residences. The first objective point of the stranger, how¬ ever, is THE CAPITOL. [Note.—The Capitol is always open except on legal holi¬ days, and hke every other public building in Washington is frçe to visitors. Smaii gratuities to doorkeepers, attaches, guides, etc., wiil obtain information and advantages which might not otherwise be had, but demands for privileges which belong to visitors should be firmly refused.] The Capitol of the United States is pronounced the finest building of its kind in the worid, and certainly every Ameri¬ can may well be proud of it. It stands in a park containing 511 acres, known as Capitol Hill. It fronts both east and west, is 751 feet long from north to south, 324 feet wide, and 307| feet in height from the base iine to the crest of the Statue of Freedom, which crowns the dome. It covers 34 acres of ground and cost upwards of $15,000,000. The corner stone of the original capítol was laid in 1793, by George Washington, and of the extensions, or wings, in 1851, on which occasion Daniel Webster delivered the oration. The south wing was finished and occupied by the House of Re¬ presentatives in 1857, and the north wing by the Senate in 1859. The great dome, designed by Walter, and finished in 1864, is constructed of iron and weighs forty tons. The Statue of Freedom, by Crawford, was placed in position in 1863. It is 194 feet high, weighs 14,985 lbs., and cost $23,736. It I 1 N S I § I S ¡ s s s s s i s s s s I ! § I r/ I s s s s s s § \ s \ V s s s s s s s s s s s s s s N \ s \ s s s s s s s s s s s s s N s s \ s s N s s s s s s s s s s s What to see in VVashington—Continued. stands on a bronze globe bearing the words " E pluribus unum," which forms the cap of the dome. Approaching the Capitol from the east, the first object which attracts attention is Greenough's statue of Washing¬ ton, which was brought from Florence, Italy, in 1841, and cost $44,000. It was intended for the rotunda of the Capitol, but beinfe found too large it has been placed on its present site, until its finalresting place is determined upon. Ascending the imposing flight of steps to the central or main building, the visitor sees standing on the south. buttress a group of statu- arj', by Pérsico, representing " Columbus' Discovery of Amer¬ ica," which cost $34,000. The corresponding group on the north buttress, and costing a like sum, represents the "First Settlement of America," by Greenough. In niches on each side of the entrance are statues of " Peace "and " War," each costing $12,000. The door opening into the rotunda is the fa¬ mous " Rogers Bronze Door," cast in Munich in 1861. It is 19 ft. high, 9 ft. wide, and cost $28,000. It pictures the story of the Ufe of Columbus. Enteiing the rotunda the visitor stands in avast circular room, the diameter of which is 96 feet, and the height from pavement to canopy 180 feet. The lower part of the wall is occupied by eight historical pictures. Four of these pictures, viz.: "The Declaration of Independence," "The Surrender of General Burgoyne." " The Surrender of Lord CornwaUis," and the " Resignation of General Wash¬ ington," were painted by John Trumbull, son of Governor Trumbull, of Connecticut, and for a time an officer of General Washington's staff. The chief value these paintings have lies in the fact that every face in them is a portrait. These four pictures cost the Government $32,000. Besides these are "De Soto Discovering the Mississippi," by Wm. H. Powell, for which the Government paid $15,000 "The Landing of Columbus," by Vanderlyn, $12,000 ; " The Baptism of Poca hontas," by Chapman, $10,000; and " The Embarkation of the Pilgrims," by Weir, $10,000. There are four doors open¬ ing into the rotunda, and over each is an alto reUevo, viz. : over the north door, "Penn's Treaty with the Indians in 1668," by Gevelot; over the south door, "The Conflict be¬ tween Daniel Boone and the Indians inl875,"by Causici; over the east door, "The Landing of the Pilgrims on Plymouth Rock," also by Causici ; and over the west door is the " Pres¬ ervation of Captain Smith by Pocahontas," by Capellano. Above the architrave is a fresco in chiaro-oscuro of sketches from American history. The work was begun by Brumidi, and at his death was taken up by one of the masters of his school. It will, perhaps, be completed by the end of the pres¬ ent year. In the canopy above is Brumidi's allegorical paint¬ ing, representing "Washington Seated in Majesty." By climbing 365 steps the visitor may ascend to the top of the dome, whence a magnificent view of the city of Washington and the surrounding country may be had. The old hall of the House of Representatives is reached by passing through the south door of the rotunda. The finest piece of sculptured work in Washington is the marble clock in this hall. It is by Franzoni, and represents the " Genius of History making up her Records." This hall is known as "Statuary Hall," and is reserved for the reception of statues —each State being permitted to send statues of two of her chosen sons. Of these there are already here Ethan Allen, from Vermont ; John Wmthrop and Samuel Adams, from Massachusetts ; George Clinton and Robert R. Livingston, of New York ; Edward D. Baker, of Oregon ; William King, of Maine ; Nathaniel Green and Roger Green, of Rhode Island ; and Jonathan TrumbuU and Roger Sherman, of Connecticut. Besides these there are a plaster cast of Houdan's Washing¬ ton ; Vinnie Reams' Lincoln ; a bust of Kosciusko ; Ames' bust of Lincoln ; statues of Alexander Hamilton, Robert Ful¬ ton and Thomas Jefferson ; bust of Thos. Crawford, the de¬ signer of the statue of Freedom and the Senate bronze doors ; a mosaic portrait of Lincoln made by an Italian who never saw him, portraits of Joshua Giddings, Gunning Bedford, Henry Clay, Charles Carroll, General Washington, Benjamin West and Thomas Jefferson. A large safe standing in this hall is filled with papers of historical value placed there in 1876 ; the safe is not to be opened till 1976. Proceeding stiU further south, through a corridor of hand¬ some proportions, the new hall of the House of Representa- s s N S I All" ,f,//y/y/y/y/y/y/y//////y/y/y/Ay/y/y/y/y/y///y/y/y/y//y^///y/y/y/y/////y>y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/^/y///^///y/y/y/y/y/y/yy/y/////y/yyy/y/y/y^^^ I s I § s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s I What to see in Washington—Continued tives is reached. This is 139 feet long, 93 feet wide and 36 feet high. Galleries which will accommodate over 1,000 people range about the sides of the chamber, and are always open to the public when the House is in session. There are reserved spaces for families of the representatives, newspaper corres¬ pondents and the diplomatic corps. The ceiling is a vast sky-light, the opaque glass being set in panels in great iron frames, each panel bearing the arms of a State. On one side of the Speaker's chair is a portrait of Washington, by Van- deriyn ; on the other a portrait of Lafayette, by Ary Schefler, both full length ; there are also paintings by Bierstadt. "The Landing of Henry Hudson," and "Discovery of California," and some frescoes by Brumidi, also find space here. The Capitol is floored with English Minton tiles. The corridors are lined with rooms for the use of the various committees of Congress, elaborately frescoed and furnished. The staircases on the House side leading to the galleries are of Tennessee marble. Over the western staircase is Deutze's great picture, "Westward the Course of Empire Takes its Way," over the eastern is Carpenter's picture, " The Proclamation of Eman¬ cipation." The library of the House is located on the second floor. The ground floor is used for committee rooms, the House post-offlce, the House restaurant, etc. Returning to the rotunda, the visitor will gain admission to the Congressionai Library by passing the swinging doors on the west side. Here are stored 520,000 volumes, any copy of which may be cailed for and read, between the hours of 9 and 4, but cannot be taken away. Leaving the iibrary, the visitor passes through the north door to the Supreme Court Room. This was formerly the Senate Chamber. Admission can only be had when the court is in sessidh. It was in this room that the Electoral Commis¬ sion sat in February, 1877. Thence through a broad corridor the visitor passes to the Senate Chamber, a room of similar arrangement to the Hall of the House of Representatives. It is not so large, however, being but 112 feet long by 82 wide, and it is much better fur¬ nished than the H all of the H ouse. H ere also is a spacious gal¬ lery for visitors. Back of the Vice-President's chair, and sepa¬ rate from the Senate by a spacious lobby, is the famous Marble Room, where Senators may receive callers during sessions of the body. This is a weli-proportioned and beautiful room, the ceiling supported by lofty Corinthian columns of Italian marble, and the walls lined with costly mirrors. Adjoining it on the north is the President's room ; it is so called because it is used by the President whenever he has occasion to visit the Capitol to confer with members of Congress in person. During the last hours of a session the President invariably occupies this room with the members of his Cabinet to sign bUls as they are passed by the two Houses, as in case he does not sign before the session closes, these enactments fail of be¬ coming laws. At the opposite end of the lobby is the Vice- President's room. Here Henry Wilson died. East of this room is the vast apartment known as the Ladies' Reception Room, where Ladies may come to call on Senators on business. Still further south is the post-ofliee of the Senate, from which entrance is gained to the office of the Sergeant-at-Arms. On the north side of the Senate Chamber are the offices of the Secretary of the Senate. Over the staircase on the west side of the Senate Chamber hangs Walker's oil painting of The Battle ofiChapultepec, and over the east staircase hangs Pow¬ ell's painting of Perry's Victory at Put-in-Bay, Lake Erie. The west staircase is of white marble, and on the east side it is of Tennessee marble. The ground floor is occupied by commit¬ tee-rooms, bath rooms, the Senate restaurant, etc. In the basement is located the heating and ventilating apparatus— well worth a visit. Passing out upon the portico over the eastern entrance to the Senate, the celebrated Crawford Bronze Door will be found worthy of attention. It illustrates revolutionary his¬ tory, and cost in the neighborhood of $60,000. It was cast at Chicopee, Mass. Over the centre of the portico are a number of flgures illustrating the Progress of American Civilization and the Decadence of the Indian Race. There are many other objects of interest in the Capitol building to which a lack of space prevents reference. Strangers should be wary of sharpers and swindlers who abound in Washington and assume to be guides, etc. In every such ! s s § s I s !S § S s s s V s s \ s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s S s s s s s I s What to see in VVashington—Continued.

THE WHITE HOUSE. • The official residence of the President of the United States stands on a commanding plot of ground comprising about eighty acres, tastefully laid out. It fronts north on Pennsylva¬ nia Ave., from which it is approached by a semi-circular drive. It is modeled after the palace of the Duke of Leinster, Dublin. It is of sandstone, painted white; is 170 ft. long, 86 ft. wide and two stories high. It is open to visitors every day except Sun¬ day, from 10 to 3 o'clock. Ushers are in attendance to show visitors those portions of the house which may be seen. The visitor enters at the north door, and finds himself at once in a magnificent vestibule 40 by 50 feet in size. A sash screen, filled with colored and ornamental glass, separates the vestibule from the corridor running in front of the Blue, Red and Green parlors and the State dining-room. The East Room is 80 feet long by 40 in width and is 24 feet high. The ceilings are paneled and richly frescoed, while the chandeliers, mirrors, furniture and carpets are of the most magnificent description. This room is used on all occasions of ceremony, grand recep¬ tions, etc. The Green Room adjoins on the west, and is so called because it is entirely furnished and adorned in green. The Blue Room comes next, and then the Red Room. This last is used more than any other, as the sitting-room for the President's family. The State dining-room is in the south¬ west comer of the house. The east half of the floor above is used for the transaction of public business. Here the clerks and secretaries are found, and here is the Cabinet Room where Cabinet sessions are held, and where the President usually receives visitors on ordinary routine business. The conserva¬ tory is attached to the west end of the building. It is beauti¬ fully appointed, and cost over $40,000. The Executive stables are at some distance southwest of the mansion. They cost over $80,000. The White House was first occupied by John Adams in 1800, the corner-stone having been laid in 1792. It was burned by the British in 1814. The cost of the present structure was something over $300,000. Portraits of the various Presidents are hung throughout the building. THE WAR, STATE AND NAVY DEPARTMENT. The War, State and Navy Department building is just west of the White House. It is in the Italian renaissance style, and is built of Maine and Virginia granite. It is 342 feet in width and runs 567 feet from north to south. The interior finishing is in harmony with the exterior. Taking everything into consideration, it is probably finished more handsomely and expensively than any other public building in the country. The State Department has charge of the original Declaration of Independence. The War and Navy Depart¬ ments have each museums of interesting relies, etc., and superb libraries. In all the departmental building are to be seen portraits of the various secretaries, from the earliest days to the present. It is open daily from 9:30 to 2:30 o'clock, ex¬ cept Thursdays. TREASURY DEPARTMENT. This building, lying just east of the President's house, is open to visitors from 9 to 2 o'clock. It is an imposing struc¬ ture in the collonade style, and is 582 feet long and 382 feet wide, costing nearly $7,000,000. There are to be seen there the richly furnished and decorated office of the Secretary, lady clerks counting currency, the great vaults in which millions of coin lay, and the cash-room, the walls and ceiling of which are composed of a beautiful variety of highly-polished marbles. To see the last two features a permit must be ob¬ tained from the Treasurer's office. THE INTERIOR DEPARTMENT AND PATENT OFFICE. This building of granite and white marble extends from Seventh to Ninth streets, between F and G streets, the main entrance being on P street. It has 191 rooms and covers 24^ 1 Î N S S S V s N S s s s s s s \ s s s \ s s s s s s s s s s s Si s s s s é i I What to see in W^ashington—Continued. acres of ground. The patent Office is open from 9 to 3 o'clock. It contains a collection of about 155,000 models of inventions and some interesting relics of George and Martha Washing¬ ton, Franklin, Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln and others. POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT. The General Post Office stands across the street south of the Patent OfBce. The Postmaster-General's office, the Dead Letter oflSce are about the only features worth seeing. THE BUREAU OF AGRICULTURE is located south of Pennsylvania Avenue, in the park between the Smithsonian Institute and the Washington Monument. Beautifully laid out grounds, experimental gardening, and in the main building an interesting agricultural museum, are the attractions there. THE BUREAU OF ENGRAVING AND PRINTING, to which visitors are admitted from 9:80 to 11:45 a.m. and 13:30 to 2 p.m., by applying to the watchman at main entrance for pass, is located southwest of the Agricultural Building. Here the printing of bonds, bank notes, stamps, etc., is of great interest to visitors. SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTE, open daily from 9 to 4 o'clock, located south of Pennsylvania Avenue and just east of the Agricultural building. It is of a red stone, and with its towers and gables of the twelfth cen¬ tury, Norman style of architecture, makes a very pleasing impression. An immense volume would be required to cata¬ logue the curiosities to be found here. Adjoining it on the east is the still more interesting National Museum Building. NATIONAL MUSEUM BUILDING, open from 9 to 4 o'clock. A grand collection of curiosities from all parts of the world. It was in this building, then in¬ complete, that the Garfield Inaugural Ball took place in 1884. CORCORAN ART GALLERY, on N. E. Pennsylvania Avenue and Seventeenth street, is open on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, free, from 10 to 4 o'clock. On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays the ad¬ mission is 25 cents. This building, with a large number of paintings and an endowment fund of $900,000, was given to the United States by Mr. W. W. Corcoran, a resident here. A fine collection of pictures, sculpture, bronzes, etc., embrace the collection. THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT. This testimonial to the immortal patriot is now completed. The comer-stone was laid July 4, 1848. It is the highest structure but one (the Tower of Babel) in the world, being 600 feet from its base. A keeper residing on the grounds gives information to visitors. The ascent to the lookout at top is made by elevator and climbing a great number of steps. 1 S S ! s s s i s s § , s s I s s s N S s s s s s s § § s s s s s § s s § s s s / .^g///y/y/y///y/y/y/y/y^/jyy/y/^/^/y/y/y/y/y/^/y/////^/y/y/y/y/y/y/y//'/Ay/y/y/y/r/y/r^^^ .i>' I 1 1 I HOUSE 'WIMQ.
