PRICE, 25 CENTS, K Word to gightseers. This small guide to the National Capitol is the best published, because it is kept revised, to date, in the body of the book and not only on the title page. It is also the most conveniently arranged, having in addition to other features, a reference index to the contents of the work. It also has illustra- tions and descriptions of the latest objects of interest not found in other works. Strangers in the city would do well to examine for themselves, and get a description of the capital and its places of interest as they exist to-day, and as they will be two or three years hence, and not as they were three or four years ago.

The long line of low buildings on 8th St. are the Barracks, and the large building in the centre the Headquarters, all of which open on the parade within. The Armory is on the S. side, and contains many interesting flags captured by the corps. The most suitable time, for those who can do so, for a visit, is Mondays, dur- ing the winter at 10.30 a. m. during General Inspection, when the Garrison is paraded, weather permitting. These exercises are followed by a concert by the Marine band for the entertainment of visitors. One square N. of the Marine Barracks on 9th and E Sts., s. e., is the Naval Hospital, open alter 12 m. It is for the treatment of sick or dis- abled officers and men of the Navy and Marine Corps. At this point the tourist can return by horse cars to the Capitol, or most conveniently visit the Congressional Cemetery, Washington Asylum and U. S. Jail. Car Route to the Capitol. — After leaving the Navy Yard, and having visited the Marine Barracks and Naval Hospital, and not desiring to visit the Congressional Cemetery, Washington Asylum and U. S. Jail, the tourist will take the W. and G. R. R. at the nearest point. From 8th St., E., the cars turn W. into the broad thoroughfare of Pa. Ave. At different points along the way are trianglar parks, beautified with shrubbery and fountains. The tourist returning to the Capitol from ihe Navy Yard, should alight at New Jersey Ave. if he desires to visit the Coast and Geodetic Survey Building. Here will be seen the whole process of Draughting, Copper-Engraving, Electrotyp- ing and Printing Charts. The U. S. standard Weights and Measures are also kept here. From New Jersey Ave. the cars continue, passing the Garfield Statue, Naval Monument, Botanic Garden, and Bartholdi Fountain at the foot of Capitol Hill, in the Trian- gle at 9th St. and Pa. Ave., S. side, Bailey's bronze Statue of Gen. John A. Rawlins, Gen. Grant's Chief of Staff and Secretary of War, erected by Congress in 1873, at a cost of $10,000; passing 15th St., the Treasury Department, Department of Justice, Executive Mansion, Lafayette Park and Statue of Jackson, State, War and Navy Departments, and Washington Statue, to West Washington. Detour, via. the Congressional Cemetery, Wash- ington Asylum and U. S. Jail, to the Statue of bailey's raw- Emancipation. — The tourist wishing to visit the points of lins. interest above named, will start at E on 8th St., (see Map P. $i) and after an easy 10 minute stroll by a paved way, will find himself at the main entrance to the " Congressional Cemetery." (See Map P. 54.) CONGRESSIONAL CEMETERY JAIL. 53 The Congressional Cemetery, or Parish Cemetery of Christ Church, near the Navy Yard, received its name from having been the place of sepul- ture of Senators and Representatives who died in the city during the early THE U. S. JAIL. years of the century, or to whom memorial Cenotaphs were erected. There are also two Vice-Presidents, Gerry and Clinton, and Generals, Admirals and others of National renown, buried here. The site overlooks the Anacostia River. The first interment was in 1807. The tourist can pass an hour very instructively upon the hallowed soil of this early necropolis of the Capital. From the "Congressional" Cemetery the tourist will continue on E. to 19th St. The drive leading due E. enters the grounds formerly occupied by the U. S. Naval Magazines, but now by the Washington Asylum. On 19th St.. is the Wot k •: House, a few steps further N. is the Washington Asylum, or Alms House, and still a few steps further N. the U. S. Jail. In this Jail Guiteau, the assassin of President Garfield, was confined and executed. Visitors who desire simply to be shown through the Jail will be admitted by application at the Warden's Office, main entrance, every day except Sundays, between 10 a. m. and 4 p. m. Admission on Sundays must be through the Warden only. From the U. S. Jail the tourist can take the most direct route, about 8 minutes walk, to Lincoln Square, where stands the Statue of Emancipation. As the portion of the city between the Jail and the point named is but sparsely built, this walk should only be undertaken in good weather. During wet weather it would be better to return to E St , and thence W. to 13th or 12th Sts., E. , thence to Lincoln Square. Here the tourist will be in com- munication with the Horse R. R., returning W. to the points of interest in the N. belt of the city and W. Washington. 54 LINCOLN SQUARE EMANCIPATION STATUE. CONGRESSIONAL CEMETERY, JAIL, ETC. •*-Tq EmcuncipaM Eleanor Paifte.

The other rooms assigned to the States are also objects of absorbing interest. The view from the cupola is very fine. MOUNT VERNON AVENUE. A movement is on foot to build a memorial highway, 200 feet wide, from the Nation's Capital, beginning at the proposed Memorial Bridge, at the foot of New York Avenue, or the New Iron Bridge, West Washington, to the home and tomb of Washington, a distance of 14 miles. In 1888, the Virginia Legislature granted articles of incorporation and gave the corporation the privilege to ask the return of the $120,000 granted by the State of Virginia in 1790 for the erection of public buildings in the Federal city, in considera- tion of its location on the Potomac, and to be used in carrying out' the work. The roadway is to be 60' width 70' on either side for parking and orna- mentation. The points of interest along the route would be, Arlington House, National Cemetery, Alexandria, to Mount Vernon, making a drive of zyi hours. Returning to Alexandria take the ferry back to Washington. 70 DIRECTORY FOR STRANGERS. GENERAL INFORMATION.
