Portland, commercial metropolis of the State of
Maine, and one of the most important cities of the
East, lying on a peninsula at the Southwest of Casco
Bay, with a very handsome and convenient location
and one of the deepest and best harbors on the At-
lantic coast. The harbor has many fine islands, and
is defended by Fort Prelle and other extensive ftrti-
cations. A great fire, in 1866, destroyed a large por-
tion of the city, but the marks are now only visible
in the increased beauty of the well-laid-out and
handsomely-shaded city. From the Observatory,
overlooking the harbor, fine views can be caught
over the sea and coast, and over the distant country,
West to the White Mountains. The most extensive
thoroughfare is Co7igress street, which runs the whole
distance of the peninsula. Among the most notable
buildings are the City Hall, Court House, Marine
Hospital, and some of the churches, manufacturing
and commercial structures. The Atheyieum and
Merca7itile Library have fine libraries; and the
Natural History Society possesses an excellent cabi-
net of varied character. Excursions from Portland
include the Islands in the Bay; Cape Elizabeth, a
favorite bathing and fishing resort on south side of
the Bay; Sebago Pond', and many of minor interest.

charming lake-scenery, to
Centhe Harbor, larger village on the northern
shore of tae Lake, the location of which is considered
unequalled by many tourists, as the Lake itself,
with its exquisite combination of island groups and
wooded shore, with bold mountains forming a back-
ground in all northerly directions, is one of the
very finest in America and with few superiors
elsewhere. Leading Hotel: the Senter House,
Among the finest points of mountain view, from
Centre Harbor and elsewhere on the Lake, may be
named Mounts Sahnonhrooh, Wliiteface, Ossipee,
Major, CJdcorua, Red Mountain (ascent by carriage
and on horseback), Kearsarge and Monadnoch
Many and charming excursions are made from the
village, on the lakes, to the mountains and elsewhere;
and among tie most notable is that to 8quam
Lake, lying a few miles west of Winnipesaukie
Tery romantic in scenery, and supplying rare trout
and other fishing.
At Centre Harbor stage-coach is taken, for re-
mainder of the route northward to the White Moun-
tains. This affords one of the most magnificent
rides attainable in the world, especially if fine
weather allows outside seats on the coach to be
used. The road leads up the Saco River, along the

with Mount Washington, the monarch of the east-

North Conway, a picturesque village lying in the
Talley, from which the views of the White Range are
something, in comparison, like those of Mt. Blanc
from Chamounix, while the number of easy excur-
sions to celebrated points is almost unequalled. It
is h( ro that many of the artists' summer sketches,
especially of Kearsarge and Chicorua and the higher
peaks of the White Mountains, all in full view, are
made ; while the Ledges (grand perpendicular cliflEs,
nearly one thousand feet in height) Artists' Brook,

their namc^, &c. But the speciality of the Glen
House, as before noted, is the
Ascent of Mount Washington, by railway. The
features of this ascent need no description, especially
to those who have made Alpine crossings by rail.
It is considered eminently safe, has little fatigue in-
volved, and certainly supplies all the elements of the
picturesque and the exciting. Stout clothing is ad-
visable, if not always necessary. This ascent being
made in the morning, the top of the giant will be
reached at the most favorable hour, and the wonder-
ful view from ^he summit enjoyed, if the capricious
weather allows that great privilege. This view is
quite equal to that from the Ehigi or Pilatus, over
Switzerland, though perhaps lacking the variety in
scenery. To the west, in bright weather, are seen
the higher peaks of the Green Mountains of Ver-
mont; southwest, some of the White and many of
the Fran eon ia Range— especially Lafayette; north
and north-east, the other great peaks of the White
Bange, and more distant the mountains of Canada;
east the sea, beyond Portland ; southeast and south
those surrounding Lake Winnipesaukie, and that
Lake itself; while various rivers, small lakes, towns
and hamlets combine to make up a picture of mar-
vellous extent and beauty. Dinner is provided at
the Tip-Top House, on the summit, where during
the last seasons scientists have resided all winter, to
make observations.

Horses (kept in waiting) and guides should be

other direction, crossing Mt:, Franklin, Monroe and
Pleasant ; and the three wondrous gulfs, the Oulf
of Mexico^ Tucherman^s Ravine, and Oakes^ Oulf
(some or all of them containing deep snow in
midsummer) will be pointed out by the guides.
At the end of nine miles' descent will be reached
the
Crawford House, lying in what is now called
the Willey Notch, and nearly at the foot of Mt.
Crawford, while Mt. Webster and other giants of the
range show grandly northward. The most marked
feature in the neighborhood of the Crawford, is
the
Willey House, standing a! a short distance up the
Notch, where in 1826 a landslide from the mountain
above destroyed the family of the same name, and
their residence — of which catastrophe many relics
are yet pointed out and a few (>f them still offered
for sale. From the Crawford may also be made
the
Ascent of Mt. Willard, practicable either by car-
riage or on foot, and affording a most magnificent
series of views from near the summit; as also visit
to the DeviVs Den, a cave of peculiar wildness and
some danger of access. Also may be visited, from the
Crawford, Gibhs' Falls, a cascade of much beauty,^
reached by short walk from the house.

AT AND ABOUT THE PROFILE HOUSE (fRANCONIA
i?OTCH).
Probably no section of mountain scenery in
America, of like extent, presents so many points of
interest and beauty as appear in the Frunconia
Notch, though in the detail of absolute grandeur it
can by no means claim the same distinction*
Taking the Profile House as the central point, the
principal obj( cts may be found grouped around it
within very brief distance, as follov/s:
Echo Lake, lying within a few bundreds of yards,
embi)Som< d in fine v/oods, under the brow of Eagle
Cliff, affording firiC views of ML Lafayette, charm-
ing boating, ard a repetition of echoes (from the
Cliff), scarcely second to those of the Eagle's Nest
at Killarney. The
Cannon Mountain, at the base of which the Pro-
file House stands, and ascended from it, with mod-
erate difficulty, a magnificent view being the re-
ward. On the top of the mountain, at near the brow
overhanging the valley, some rocks, singularly dis-
posed, suggest the shape of a Cannon, mounted on
its carriage, whence the name; and the extreme
brow of the mountain itself forms, in a peculiar com-
bination of great rocks, the
Old Man of the Mountain, colossal face, sixty feet
in height from chin to brow, hanging over the im-
mense gulf, and perfect io every detail of a majestic

human face, as seen from the road at some distance
below the Profile (which of course takes its name
from that view^. Below this, which is undoubtedly
the most striking single curiosity of all the range,
lies the little Profile Lake, sometimes calbd the
"Old Man's Bath," or *^ Washbowl,'' jt "Mirror,"
affording a wonderful reflection of the stony face in
calm weather, and said to be full of fiie trout. A
mile below the Profile is to be reached (ride or
walk), the Basin, pool of remarkable shape and
character, and Old Man's Foot, lying in it in colos-
sal stone. Thence, five miles further, the Flume
House, summer resort, now disused ; and near it
The Flume, only second to the Old Man of the
Mountain as a great natural curiosity, being an im-
mense fissure or split in the solid rock of the moun-
tain, varying from 10 to 20 feet in width, and the
walls from 20 up to 100 feet in height, with a small
rapid stream brawling over rough stones below, and
a boarded walk up the gorge. At one point, a huge
oval stone, of many tons in weight, hangs by the
two points midway up the chas:.! : and at another
a dangerous bridge has been thrown over, at the
top, by the falling of a tree. At no great distance
from the Flume lies
TJie Pool, a literal hole in the rock, of great depth
and singularity of appearance, reached by a difficult
climb down the bank, and formerly the abode of a
strange madman named Merrill, who paddled visi
tors round it ii: , crazy boat, declared it the "centre

Queen Victoria, dtited at the Kitchen of Bucking-

From the front of the Flume Honse and neigli-
borho'»d is to be seen a natural wonder of srreab
prominence, (ae
Dead Washinr/ton, being the profile Taee and form
of that hero, in a recumbent position and as if
shrouded, lying at a length of miles, the shape sup-
plisd by the sliaf Md position of several moun-
tains of the HaysL. ic group. Muy also be seen, be-
tween the Proiile and the Flume, at some distance
from the road, Walher^s Falls, a line cascade ; and
two miles below the Flume, Georgiana Falls, the
largest in the range.
Of Ascents from the Profile, besides that of the
Cannon, the principal are those of
Mount Lafayette, the highest peak of the Franco-
nia Kange, and commanding a ^me view, with only
a limited amount of toil (horseback or foot) — and
Bald Mountai7i^'d lower elevation, but still with fine
view (carriage).

Princeton— Station, the town lying away at the
right, though in sight, and steam connection in wait-
ing. Princeton is another of the old and import-
ant to wnb yf the State, with a peculiar status in Rev-
olutionary history as having been the scene of one of
Washington's most memorable conflicts, of which the
field extends from the town itself to what is called
the " Battle Ground," more tlian a mile distant. Its
more marked celebrity, however, lies in its being the
seat of the College of New Jersey (called alternately,
*' Princeton College," and often, from one of the
oldest buildings, " Nassau Hall.") It is also the seat
of the Theological Seminary of the Presbyterian de-
nomination, in connection with the College, which
has long enjoyed a very high reputation, and which
is now presided over by the celebrated Scotch di-
vine, Dr. McCosh, late of Queen's College, Belfast.
The grounds of the College (like ma,ny of those of
the town) are very handsome. Peale's " Washing-
ton," in the College library, is a picture of merit and
historical interest. To the College has also lately
been a/^.ded an Astronomical Observatory, with fine
instruments.
Beyond Princeton is soon reached
Trenton, capital of the State of New Jersey,
lying on the left or east bank of the Delaware river.

AT AND ABOUT PHILADELPHIA, WITH EXOITa-
8I0NS.
Philadelphia, most important city of Pennsyl-
vania, second in the Union in point of population,
largest of all in the extent of ground comprised
within city limits, and dividing with Boston the
claim of being the most influential after the com-
mercial metropolis — lies on the Delaware River, at
about one hundred miles from its mouth at Dela-
ware Bay, and above and very near the debouchure
into that river of the Schuylkill, the latter stream
running through the city at its western extremity
and adding materially to the beauty and healthful-
ness of location. It is well known to have been
founded by William Penn, the Quaker, and to be
the headquarters of his denomination (whence its
soubriquet, the " Quaker City " ) ; and it enjoys, in
addition, the distinction of being the most regu-
larly built city on the continent if not in the world,
the mass of its streets lying at right angles and
giving it an appearance of primness alternately
counted a charm and a blemish. From this latter
feature, combined with all the streets running par-
allel with the Delaware being numbered, from one
upward — and the space between each of these
streets, on the intersecting ones, numbered as one
hundred, in supplying street-numbers — less diffi-

through and about it, than througli any other city
intheworld,ofcorrespondiDg size. Still addition-
ally It should be noted that t:.e street-car system is
wonderfully complete and perfect, routes crossing
each other at short distances, and a system of
"transfers" from one route to another making
transit much easier and cheaper than it could other-
wise be found. Carrlage^hire, cheaper than in New
York, though high ; not differing materially from
the same detail at Boston.
Philadelphia has many notable Streets, of which
the characteristics are worth study, for tlieir indi-
vidual and collective character. First among these
IS Chestnut Street, at once business and fashionable,
on which are located some of the best hotels, and
which has by far the handsomest display of sVp-
fronts on the continent. Next to this, perhaps, is
Market Street, wide thoronghfare, dividing the
cross streets into "North" and *• South," and dis-
playing much railway traffic and other heavy trade.
Arch and Walnut are also both business streets of
importance. The Exchange stands m Dock Street^
between Walnut and Spruce; and much of the
commercial and financial force of the city is to be
found in that neighborhood, and near the Delaware,
between Shippen Street, on the South, and Vine
Street, on the North, and Front Street to Sixth
Street, in the cross direction. Fourteenth Street is
ordinarily called Broad Street, and has much fash
ion and many prom.inent buildings. Ridge and

Oirard Avenues hold position as places of fasbion-
able residence, and drives leading to Girard College,
Fairmount Park, etc.
Of Public Buildings tbere are many of import-
ance and interest. The first place is held, histori-
cally, by Independence Hall, Chestnut street, nota-
ble as having been the place of signing of the
Declaration of Independence from Great Britain,
Fourth of July, 1776. Some historical pictures of
value, statues, and many relics are preserved there;
and among others the " Liberty Bell," rung at the
time of the Declaration, and bearing the strangely
appropriate inscription: "Proclaim liberty through-
out the land to all the inhabitants thereof." (Admis-
sion to the Hall, every day, 9 to 2). The building
and wings are now used as public oflBces. A re-
cently erected statue of Washington fronts the main
entrance. Next of the public buildings in import-
ance, is Girard College, on Kidge Avenue, some two
miles from the city centre — the several buildings
modern and of fine architecture, and the grounds
haridsome, but its principal celebrity (it has very
little as an educational institution) lying in the
strange will and bequest of Stephen Girard, the
merchant, which founded it, and which among other
odd features, allows no clergyman to enter it even
on a visit. Next in importance is the United States
Mint, Chestnut street, with very perfect and inter-
esting processes and a splendid collection of coins

beauty in grounds and views, though little more
than commenced; and a bronze sitting statue of
Lincoln has recently been inaugurated at near the
Schuylkill entrance, while cheap service-carriages
and all conveniences to visitors are supplied. The
finest view is from George's HillyUnd the finest drive,
Vista Drive. The Water Works themselves demand
attention, as among the best of their class; the views
over the Schuylkill from the raised promenade are
notably fine ; and the Suspension Bridge, at the same
point, is the most interesting structure of that char-
acter at or near the city, it having been built by CoL
Ellett, the constructor of the Niagara Suspension
Bridge, and afforded a model for the latter. (Other
Bridges of interest are the Iron Bridge, over the
Schuylkill at Chestnut street; the Market Street
Bridge, of wood, very old ; &c.) (There are also
other Water Works: the Delaware, on the river,,
foot of Wood street, and the Western, with a beauti-
ful tower, opposite Fairmount.) Of the other public
grounds of the city, the most interesting are In-

AT AND ABOUT BALTIMORE, WITH E:SCURSI0>3'S.
Baltimore, on the Patapsco River, branch of
Chesapeake Bay, most important town in the State
of Maryland, seiport of eminence, considered one
of the handsomest cities in the Union, and dividing
with two or three others the claim of producing the
most beautiful women, while to Europeans it pos-
sesses the p'^culiar interest of having supplied wives
to a remarkable number of the English aristocracy
(Wellesley family, and others), and also a wife (Miss
Patterson) to Jerome Bonaparte. It has a striking
situation, on rising ground sloping up from the
harbor, in that respect rivalling Boston; and the
numerous spires and monuments fitly crown a pic-
ture otherwise of great beauty. Baltimore has an
inner and outer harbor, above and below FelVs
Point, into the latter of which the largest ships en-
ter without difficulty ; and the city proper is di-
ROUTE No. 9.— WESTERN AND SO UTIIERN. 1G5
with many bridges, called Jones' Run. A strong
and hanuaome fortific ' tion, Fort Mc Henry , defends
the harbor, and figured conspicuously in both the
war of 1812 and that of the secesbion. Among the
chief boasts of the city, and the first objects of in-
terest to the traveller, are
Tlie Monwnents, so notable that they have given
to Baltimore the soubriquet of the "Monumental
City." The first in importance is the Washington,
in an elevated p )sition on Mt. Vernon Place, at
Charles and Monument streets — a base and shaft
reaching 300 feet in height, with a statue surmount-
ing all, ' " Washington Resigning his Commission."
(Accessible, and fine view from balcony at top.)
Next in interest is the Battle, at Calvert and Fay-
ette streets— a Roman column, with emblematical
sculptures, in honor of those who fell in defence of
the city, in September 1814. The third, or Armis-
tead, in honor of the defender of Fort McHenrv in
1814, is merely a tablet, on North Calvert street, and
only of interest in the patriotic conn- ction.
Of streets, the most important is Baltimore street,
running east and west the whole length of the city,
and really its Broadway or Regent street. Holliday^
Calvert, Fayette^ Lexington, Eutaiv, Madison, Park,
Saratoga, North Charles, Mt. Vernon Place, Charles

: Division D,
AT AND ABOUT WASHINGTON, WITH EXCURSIONS.
Washington, capital city of the United States of
America, and on many accounts specially interest-
ing, as bearing the name of the Great Soldier and
Patriot, as having been delected by him as the seat
of Government, as having been the scene of all the
<;entral legislation of the country and many of its
other historical events, and as possessing a location
with many marked advantages and certain equally
tnarked disadvantages almost counterbalancing the
favorable,— lies in the District of Columbia, on the
noi'th bank of the Potomac River, at some 70 miles
from the embouchure of ^nat river into Chesapeake
Bay, and about 30 miles directly westward from the
nearest shore of that Bay, at a little southward of
Annapol's. It supplies a geographical meridian of
importance: Lat. SS*^ 53' 39" N.; Long. 77^ %'
48 ' Irom Greenwich; and lies in a dirt ct line, about
120 miles south-west from Philadelphia, and about
200 in a corresponding direction from New York.
It dates, as the Capital, from the removal from
Philadelphia, about 1800, though the corner-stone
of the Capitol was laid in 1703. The city, as a mu-
nicipality, dates from nearly the same time— ib large

in extent, and by no means compact in its character -
that fact havin.2; given rise, many years ago, to the
irreverent soubriquet: the **City of Magnificent
Distances."
Among the undeniable advantages of Washings
ton, before referred to, are its picturesque location,
with elevations and fine views at two points,-~those
of the Capitol, at the south-eastern end of (main)
Pennsylvania Avenue, and the Pres'dent's House
and principal Government Buildings, at the north-
western end ; its ease of access from the sea, and ac-
cessibility by railway from various important points;
its moderate climate in winter, principal season of
legislative assemblage; and its proximate centrality,
as between North and South. Among the disad-
vantages may be named the doubtful healthiness of
some portions (including the Ex-cutive Mansion) in
summer; and its -entire want of centr.dity towards
the limited East and the widely-extended West— the
latter feature having given rise to much dissatisfac-
tion, of late years, and some efforts at effecting the
removal of the seat of government to some one of
the Western Cities— St. Louis being oftenest named.
The governmental conveniences now existing on this
spot, however, and the late completion of tlie en-
larged Capitol, render it entirely improbable that
any such removal will take place within the present
century, and leave Washington to be visited and
considered as the p^irmimeut capital of the United
States.

BHOBT-TRIP GUIDE.
Of conrse first among its attractions, to the tour-
ist, a* whatever season, will be found
The Capitol, standing on Capitol Hill, fronting
east and west, and occupying the same site as the
original, founded by Washington and burned by the
British in 1814, ./hen the Congressional Library,
many valuable pictures, the President's House and
other buildings, shared the same fate. The present
structure, undeniably one of the noblest gover. ment
buildings in tlie world, and with many grand and
beautiful details in architecture, is an enlargement
of that which replaced the burned building, and has
consequently the blemish of showing some incon-
gruity in materials and "afterthought" in design. It
is immense in extent, however, the entire length being
eome 750 feet, with a wing depth of 300 and a body
depth of 200; and the whole space of ground covered
is said to be three and a half acres. Handsome
grounds surround the Capitol, with fine shade trees
and some good landscape gardening ; and from these
grounds, below either front, and from the two fronts
themselves, remarkably fine views may be obtained.
The East Front, (main) has an immense colon-
nade and portico, with Persico's statues of Colum-
bus, of Washington,, allegorical figures of Peace and
War, Greenough's " Civilization,'' etc., on the portico
and in the grounds adjoining; and it is here chat
the Inauguration Ceremonies of each incoming
President take place, the auditory filling the pcrcicc
and the gromnls below. The West Front, less elabo-
RO UTE NO. 9.- WESTERN AND 80 UTEERN. 175
rate, has the vi€W down Pennsylvania Avemie and
over the city. The next most prominent feature,
and perhaps the most notable of all, is
The Domey before spoken of as among the noblest
in tne world. It surmounts the centre of the pile,
rismg to a height of nearly 400 feet, crowned with
a colossal statue of Freedom, by Crawford ; and is
ascended, from within, by a spiral stairway, for the
extensive aad magnificent view of Washington, ti o
Potomac, the near portions of the District, of Virginia
Maryland, etc. In the Rotunda, immediately under
the dome, are to be seen the eight large historical
pictures, "Discovery of the Mississippi," '* Baptism
of Pocahontas,'' *^ Declaration of Independence,'*
"Surrender of Burgoyne," "Surrender of Cornwal-
lis," "Washington Resigning his Commission," and
"Landing of Columbus." The Rotunda has also a
"Massacre of the Innocents," portraits of Lincoln
and others, some interesting historical bas reliefs,
etc. Tlie Canopy, surmounting, is elahorately
painted in fresco, by Brumidi, and contains an im-
mense number of allegorical and histc Jcal figures.
Naturally the next objects of interest will be the
Senate and Representative ChamUrs, the former
situated in the north wing (or "f ^tonsion"--new
pari:, of the building) and the I-ucer in tne south
wing. They are both large, w?th good accommoda-
tion for spectators (in the Strange^^^ Galleries) ela-
borately finished, lighted fro^r. above by hidden gas-
burners through ground glass, and extremely well

ventilated, b
marred by the low, flat ceilings. Both are reached
by elaborate and costly stairways, really among the
most notable features in the building ; and it may
be said of both that, with whatever fnults of con-
struction, tbey are among the best of their class, in
the world. Next in interest is to be visited the
Supreme Court Room, a large senii-circular apart-
ment in the north wing, with busts of former
Chief-Justices Jay, Rutledge, Ellsworth and T\Iar-
shall; and beneath it the Old Supreme Court Room,
now the Lata Library, with a fine collection of
books in the higher branches of jurisprudence, and
some peculiarities in the architecture of the room,
commanding surprised attention. The
Library of Congress, with some 90,000 to 100,000
volumes (now accumulating very rapidly, as copies
of all works puV'" '^ed in America must be depo-
sited there, to st copy-right — as in the British
Museum), and au immense number of valuable
documents and manuscripts, — is in the western por-
tion of the main builuing, and shows fire-proof book-
cases and all appliances to guard against the recur-
rence of fire, which has twice destroyed previous col-
lections (1814— war; and 1851, accidental.) But
perhaps quite as interesting as any of the apartments
named, is the
Old Hall of Representatives, in the south wing ot
the centre building, semi-circular, with panelled
ceiling and cupola, row of si)lenaid columns in Vir-
.'«W^ .*»«»r
RO UTE NO. 9.- WESTERN AND SO UVHERN. 177
ginia green-stone; and containing, among other
objects of interest and value, Vanderlyn's "Wash-
ington," a full-length of Lafayette, Franzoni's statue
of History, statues and busts of Washington
Kosciusko, Lincoln, Johnson, &c. Here, also, have
spoken nearly all the great legislators of America
la the past, making the place historically memora-
ble. Opening from this into the corridor, may be
seen the
Bronze Columbus Door, modelled by Rogers and
cast at Munich (where the model remains), repre-
senting various scenes in the life and death of the
discoverer, and considered among the best of con-
temporary works.
Many Other Apartments of interest may be visited
m the Capitol, among them the President's and
Vice-President's Room, the Speaker's, Senators', Re-
ception, &c., and some of the Committee Rooms, in
the latter of which will be found displayed quite as
much luxury (not always in the best taste) as can be
found in any other portion of the structure.

or special application, apply to most of the Depart-
ment buildings at Washington.]
Next in importance to the traveler, of the build-
ings of Washington, is the
President's House (familiarly known as the
''White House," especially in political parlance),
situated on the high ground at the opposite or
north-western extremity of (main) Pennsylvania
Avenue (principal drive and fashionable promenade
of the city). It is of white stone, as its name indi-
cates, has a colonnaded front but little architectural
merit, stands near the Potomac and commands a
fine view of that river and the opposite shore. It
contains some handsome and well-appointed rooms,
the East Room being the most notable ; but the lo-
cation is not considered healthy in summer, and the
Presidential family does not often steadily occupy it
throughout that season. [Calls, without ceremonial
or previous introduction, are generally received by
the President every week-day, 10 to 1, except those
devoted to Cabinet meetings or other special ap-
pointments. No court-dress necessary or proper.

count of its extraordinary colJection of mechanical
and labor-saving implements, in which it has no
equal in any country. It is located on F street
(many of the Washington streets being thus desig-
nated by letters), between Seventh and Ninth
streets. The Midel Room, octmpying one entire
floor, is divided into four halls, of which the East
Hall is occupied by practical models; the West
Hall by rejected ones; the South Hall (with hand-
some frescoed ceilings) by personal effects of Wash-
ington, other Eevolutionary relics, (sword of Wash-
ington and cane of Franklin, among others) medals
and treaties with, and presents from foreign powers.
Powers' Statue of Washington, &c., foiling a.
unique, most valuable and interesting collection.
Near the Patent Office is to be visited the
General Post Office, an imposing Corinthian struc-
ture, with the internal arrangements commanding a
certain degree of attention, and some valuable re-
cords of Franklin. Also, the City Post Office, in
same building. The
State, War and Navy Departments have buildings
near each other and near the President's House, on
Pennsylvania Avenue. Little of interest is to be
found in either, except the Library of the State
Department, and the Collection of Eelics of the
War and Navy. Of much more importance to the
visitor is the
Treasury Department Braiding, on Fifth street,
immense in size and of some architectural merit;

-while the details of Paper Money Printing [admie-
sion by order from the Secretary of the Treasury —
easily obtained], carried on in the upper and lower
portions of the structure, are worthy cf close atten-
tion from their extent and completeness. The
Smithsonian Institute (founded by the late Jamea
Smithson, Esq., of England), stands in extensive and
highly ornamented grounds, called the Mall, west of
the Capitol, and south-east of the President's
House. It is of large-extent, built of red sand-
stone, Norman in architecture, and has nine towers,
of irregular heights. It contains an immense libra-
ry-room, picture-gallery, lecture-room, laboratory,
etc., and is already doing a noble work in the ad-
Tancement of science. At no considerable dis-
tance from this, stands the
Wasliington Mo7iument, intenderJ to be one of the
largest in the world, but thus far simply one of the
largest failures, the funds to complete it from its
present height of 170 feet to the contemplated 600,
not being forthcoming. It is at present no monu-
ment but a curiosity. The
National Observatory stands on Western Pennsyl-
Tania Avenue, half way between the President's
House and Georgetown. It has a large transit and
some other fine instruments, astronomical library,
clock, etc.

pally comprised in the Mall, on the banks of the

Virginia has many sulphur and other mineral

the labors of Edward Ererett and the ladies of the

TJie Capitol, located on Shockoe Hill, a considera-
ble elevation- and thus looking down upon the major
portion of tue city. It is Greek in the character of
its architecture, with porticos, and a tall, narrow
dome, and is generally impressive in effect, though
the details are by no means faultless. It stands in a
public square elevated as already named, and com-
mands a fine view, especially from the portico or
dome, over the James River, its islands, and a wide
stretch of country. Internally, there is not much of
interest in the legislative halls; the principal at-
traction centering in the splendid marble statue of
Washington, by Houdon, considered the best extant,
standing in the central hall, under the dome— and
in the historical reminiscences, now so varied, inevi-
tably clustering round the principal place of direc-
tion of the short-lived Confederacy.

CHICAGO AS IT WAS AND IS.
The history of the word furnishes no parallel to
the change between the two words just given, the
" was " and '* is " of the lately-great and yet-to-be-
greater city of Chicago. When a considerable por-
tion of the material of this book was already in type,
Chicago stood, as it had been for thirty or forty
years growing up to be, the actual Queen City of the
West, one of the most important of the Union, and
the greatest grain mart and depot of the world, as
well as one of the most important railroad centres
of the entire continent. It lay on the western shore
of Lake Michigan, at near the southern boundary of
that Lake, at the entrance of the Chicago river into
it. It had its first white settlement in 1804, by Col.
John Kinzie; and so late as 1830 contained only
15 houses. It was incorporated as a city, seven
years later, in 1837 — the population at that time
being 4,170. In 1843 this had increased to 7,580;
in 1847 to 10,859 ; in 1850 to 28,269 ; in 1855
to 80,023 ; in 1860 to 109,263 ; in 1865 to 178,539;
and in 1870 to the round figures of 300,000, while
the suburban population was supposed to raise it to
350,000.

▼ersity; Medical Colleges; splendid public Parks
and Cemeteries; and a wilderness of scientific,
social and benevolent institutions, second to none
in the Western World. In addition to this, and a
feature unequalled elsewhere — a Tunnel had been
constructed to a Tower two miles distant in the
Lake, whence the water-supply of the city was
derived.
Such, hastily sketched, was the position of Chi-
cago on the 8th of October, 1871. On the night of
that day, a fire broke out at near the centre of
the city, though in an older and wooden portion.
A fierce wind made vain all efforts for staying the
flames, which extended on every side, and eventu-
ally acquired such force that buildings considered
fire-proof c^ald not resist the heat five minutes
when attacked. By the morning of ihe 10th the
city was literally destroyed — the whole central and
business part of it entirely so. Some 10,000 build-
ings were burned ; 500 to 1,000 persons are sup-
posed to have lost their lives ; 50,000 to 75,000 per-
sons were rendered houseless ; and the pecuniary
loss is estimated to have reached 1200,000,000.
Chicago, the Queen of the West, was no vaovQ—for
the present.
A most gratifying spectacle of general benevo-
lence, however, has been shown, in connection with
this great calamity, not only in all the cities of
America, but in those of Enarland and of all EiiroDe :
and the extremity of suffering has been materially

relieyed by contributions from all quai-ters, which
will no doubt continue during the following
months of helplessness and want. Meanwhile, the
rebuilding of the city wa^ commenced at once, and
18 already proceeding rapidly; and, though years
must elapse before the terrible marks of the visi-
tation are obliterated, all the industries of Chicago
will soon be in full even if limited operation.
Already, all its railway facilities as a great centre,
temporarily deranged, are again fully supplied ; and
the thousands of visitors, who would have gone
to see it as a curiosity of Western greatness and.
prosperity, will still d j so, to see it in iti prostration
and rapid revival, with all the facilities of transit
and accommodation that would have been originally
enjoyed. It is impossible to say, at this early day,
what Hotels will be in readiness to accommodate
visitors, but certainly two or three of excellent class
and capacity.
[Among the widely-extended railway connections
of Chicago, are the following of most importance.

beyond, to the Lake Superior sections, by the Chi-

require days of interest and toil, always accompanied
by a guide, and with lights and means of relighting,
without either of which it is not safe to enter. For

commercial establishments. It is worthy of remark
that Quebec, even more than Montreal, has a large
French admixture, and that in some of the quarters
many of the lower Parisian dwellings and habits
may be seen duplicated. Among the principal
streets are St, Louis; P'Auteuil (near the Espla-

Or, better, if time will allow the additional day:
Leave Quebec by one of the steamers of the Cana-
dian Navigation Company (usual trips twice a week:
timely reference on this point to be made at the
hotel of stoppage, at Quebec.) First object of inter-
est, the large Island of Orleans, in the St. Law-
rence immediately below the cil-y, with considerable
prosperity. The Falls of St. Anne (before referred
to), and Lake St. Charles, celebrated for fine trout-
fishing, are both passed, at some miles below, though
of course not visible from the boat. The first land-
ing is made at
MijRRAY Bat, on the north shore, pleasant vil-

fashionable resort.]
Leaving Riviere du Loup, again by steamer,
the St. Lawrence is recrossed, to the entrance of
the
Saguenay River, with scenery of such grand
and stupendous wildness as is seldom encountered
on either continent; the almost perpendicular cliffs
at many points, and the great height of the border-
ing hills, combining with the darkness of the water,
the frequent waterfalls, and the general aspect of
wild desolation, to awe as well as enrapture. At
very near the entrance of the river is passed the
very old village of Tadoussac; and not long after,
the little cove contaitiing a fishing station, called
L'Aiice a VEau. The next points of interest
reached, are the two frightful over-hanging cliff-
mountains. Cape Eternity and Cape Trinity , bb-
neath which, from the apprehension that they piay
fall at any moment, the tourist has no wish to re-

At Kingston tlie Lake narrows to become virtu-

and called the " Lake of the Thousand Islands," as
containing the celebrated
Thousand Islands, said to number nearly twice as
many, and certainly studding tiie stream very thick-
ly, in rougli-tree-crowned, wild and picturesque
beauty — there really seeming, at times, to be diffi-
culty in finding passage between them.
Leaving the Lake of the Thousand Islands, en-
tering the St. Lawn^nce proper, passing Ogdenshurg
on the American side., and Prescott, on the Cana-
dian (connection to Ottawa— see Eoute No.'lO},—
are soon entered the
Rapids of the St. Laiorence, among the most ex-
tended and notable to be found in any river on the
globe, and some of them startling to the inexpe-
rienced who mark the rapid rush of the water and
the sharp inclination of the boat, at the worst mo-
ments; though the amount of danger involved,
with good boats and the inevitable skilful pilot-
age, must be almost nothing, as accidents are liter-
ally unheard of. The diffl-rent Rapids follow each
other in the succession named : the Gallopes (4) ; the
Plate ; the Depleait ; the Long Sault ; the Coteau ;
the Cedars (considered by man} the finest ) ; the

(Mnard Line. (British ami North American Royal
Pdail Steamship Company.)
The array uf ships offered by this leading line,
for the current year, is even more extensive than in
past years, during which it lias won the confidence
of the world. The fovorite " Scotia" (known as
the "\t^oinen and children's ship," from her steadi-
ness); the speedy " Russia ; " the "Cuba," "Java,"
« China," '' Abyssinia," "Algeria," " iarthia," " Ca-
labria," and other well known ships, are to be sup-
plemented by the "Scythia" and "Bothnia,"
larger and finer than any of the others, and of
great power and speed. Rates of passage varied to
suit all purses. Sailings from Liverpool, Saturdays,
Tuesdays and Thursdays; and from Queenstown
(Ireland), the days following.
Inman Line. {Liverpool New York . nd Phila-
delphia Steamship Company.)

becomes a gu,n, in the immediate supply „f the stil
arger and finer " Montana," very 'soon to be fo
lowed by the « Dacotah," and the latter by other!
now bui dmg of the same noble class as fh t o
ast ment,oned Ko finer vessels, meanwhile, can b
ound, han the "Wyoming," the "Wisconsin"

supplying accommodation winning exceptional ap-
Flanse. bailings from Liverpool, every Wednesdav ;
and from Queenstowu the following day.

using more time in the transit, owing to the slighter
power of ships, than always pleased the hurried.
But while gathering one of the largest fleets in ex-
istence, this line is also reversing past reputation by
supplying some of the most powerful as well as
largest ships in the world— the "Spain," "Egypt,"
"Italy" and other new vessels, being actual
flyers" as well as splendid monsters; and the
Queen," " England " " Denmark " and half a score
of other vessels, following closely. Sailings from
Liverpool, every Wednesday, and Queenstown the
following day ; with extra steamers.

White Star Line. {Ismmj, Imrie & Co'sj Oceanic
Steamship Company.)
No other line ever built reputation so fast in a
single year, as the White Star, with their immense
ships and "all the modern improvements." The
*« Oceanic," pioneer of the line, made much reputa-
tion by carrying over so successfully the American
Knight Templars, last summer ; and she, and her
successors, the " Atlantic," " Baltic " and " Eepub-
lic," have all won applause for perfect fittings, com-
fort and quick passages. Upon these four still fol-
low the " Celtic," *' Adriatic," and several other and
still larger vessels on the same novel and luxurious
plan, to make the line complete and fully supplied.

NEW YORK NOTABILITIES,
The magnificent buildings of the Equitable Life
Assurance Society/, corner of Broadway and Cedar
Street, and the MiUual Life Insurance Oompant/,
corner of Broadway and Liberty Street— two of the
actual sights of the city, without and within ; while
the two companies stand confessedly at the head of
American Life Insurance, both in the extent of
their operations and the thorough reliability of the
investments made in them and by them, i^eatures
added during the past year to both, in the splendid
group of statuary (by J. Q. A. Ward), over the por-
tico of the Equitable, and the increased height and
noble clock-tower of the Mutual— make the two
buildings even more marked specialties of New York,
than they have before been, though widely cele-
braced.
The office of the Hanover Fire Insurance Com-
pany, in the Equitable Building, Broadway and
Cedar Street— perhaps the handsomest, in its fitting-
up, of any in the city, and L-ertainly among the
most respectable and reliable of all, in the detail of
property-security supplied by it.
The Travelers' Insurance Compa^iy, of Hartford,
Connecticut, of which the office is at Broadway and
Pulton Street; and which is doing a work of un-
equalled usefulness, in its insurances against every
kind of nnPirlpTif +rv wV^i/»V. +1>

always escape corresponding casualfcies. Also a Life
Assurance Company of prominence.
'rhe diamond and fine-jewelry house of Stevens d^
Co., 859 Broadway (near Union Square), over the
door of which the magnificent Winged Lion of Venice
appropriately holds its place, from the fact that the

gold, silver and precious stones, for which the Vene-
tians and Florentines have so long been famous,
are supplied at this house as at no other in
xVmerica.
The Gihei/ House, Broadway and Twenty-ninth
Street, one of the noblest in the city, both in exter-
nal architecture and internal arrangement, with
passenger-lift, noble halls, and luxurious suits of

brity, the American hotel of the fivst-class. In con-
nection, the Grand Union Hotel, at Saratoga-as
see following.
^ The Brevoort House, Fifth Avenue and Eighth
fetreet, one of the most charmingly located of New
York hotels, combining convenience and first
fashion with quietness, and always a favorite with
European tourists and those traveled Americans
who have enjoyed the widest experience and know
a true hotel from a caravanserai.
The Fifth Avenue Theatre, Twenty-fourth Street,
