The City Before and When an Armed Camp The Splendid Improvements Since YieiTS from the Dome An Enchanting Prospect The Glory of the Capital. Twenty years ago almost to a day the writer stood upon Capitol Hill and with Be wildered, boyish eyes gazed out over the city of Washington. To say that he was disappointed at tho prospect presented to his vision would but feebly express the truth. He was surprised, dis gusted, in fact, by what he beheld. Imagination had pictured to Tils youthful mind the National Capital as tho grandest city of the universe. He found ii; so to 'speak, altogether common place and in some of its aspects repul sive. The Capitol building was incom plete, the dome scarcely begun, the streets unpaved, and, v ith the exceptions of a very few public edifices, scattered at rare intervals, the aggregation of the builder'sart appeared unworthy of even the country town from whence the notes of war had called the observer. Eastward lay a broad expanse of barren plain, fringed upon the farther side by the Maryland hills across the East ern Branch of the Potomac. Looking southward, the unsightly sheds, excavations, and hovels marking THE "BniCK-KILN DISTP.ICT" met tho eye. In front, and almost at his feet, the neglected Valley of the Tiber, which seemed to have gone into its decline while Rome was yet the mistress of the world, and to have retained only the storied geese of that immortal city, meandered amid the dilapidated shanties and tumble-down stables set up as monuments of a shiftless age. Farther to the westward, espccially bcyond Seventh and between M and Boundary streets, swamps and commons and patehes of meadow met the eye. Even in what is now the heart of the city, running diagonally through the square bounded by Ninth, Tenth, 1 and G streets, was a pasture and muddy stream well known to every four-legged animal and aquatic fowl having an abiding place within tho corporate limits. Lowing herds of kine wandered at will to and fro, cropping the herbage; SWINE TfRNKD TP THEIR X05I3 at tin authorities and at the same time plowed up the earth of the ill-kept thoroughfares, and the tinkling music of the cow and sheep bells, min gling witli the discordant cries of geese and other domestic fowl, left little of the peculiar de lights of a rural life to the work of the imagina tion. Leas than a year later and Washington I had become an armed camp. The encir cling hills were dotted with the white tents of the soldiery; huge carlh-works, bristling with cannon, crowned every eminence; flags floated in the breeze from every hill-top, and the streets and avenues resounded with the inspiring strains of martial music nnd echoed the tramp, tramp, tramp of marching men. The necessities of the hour inaugurated a peripatetic system of improvement. Here, there, everywhere that occasion required streets were repaired, build ings erected, reforms entered upon and carried out by the strong military arm. But these were neither conceived nor executed with any view to their permanency. They were merely temporary creations to meet the exigencies growing out of the period of strife. Estlietically considered, everything done might better have been left un done: and the cloe of the war left the city where it was found at the beginning, save thatsome faint spirit of enterprise manifested itself here and there among its inhabitants. THK DAY OF WASHINGTON'S GLORY had not yet come. That was less than twenty years ago. But what a change has been wrought since then! Tho neglected and dilapidated Capi tal of a great Nation of 1SG1-3 has now become, in this year of grace 1SS1, the "beautiful city," known the world over for its magnificent thor oughfares, its grand public edifices, stately resi dences, and delightful scenery. Visitors who behold its beauties for the first time are hap pily surprised, and those who return hither after the lapse of a half-score years even are astounded It is truly a royal city, in which every American citizen is king. Seen as a whole from the dome of the Capitol, which vies with any similar structure in the world in grandeur, or as viewed from the Maryland or Virginia heights or Meridian Hill, Washington presents A PLEASING PtNORAJIA. But to appreciate all its beauties and to satisfy the poetical and artistic taste for fine effects one mnst'study it in detail. There arc some ex quisite bits of scenery views surpassing many which people have traveled thousands of miles to behold here in our very midst. For instance": Let the seeker after the beautiful select some soft summer day. when the sky is flecked with flcccy cloudsnnd zephyrs whispersoftandlow, andswing his hammock underneath one of the stalwart oaks upon the heights at almost any point be tween Seventh and Twentieth streets. Below him lies the city; to the left, the Capitol; in front, the Smithsonian, with its annex, whose tall towersand battlemented walls of the one and half Moorish architecture of the other carry the mind back to the middle ages and the halls of the Abencerrages; farther to the right, the Agricultural Department building meets the eye, and then the white shaft, now rapidly growing, of the Father of his Country. Beyond, the Potomac stretches lazily along, expos ing its broad bosom to the sun, and yet farther away, ARLINGTON AND THE VIRGINIA HEIGHTS, robed iti emerald beauty, form a fitting back ground. In the faint distance the spires of Alex andria loom up above the foliage, and as the eye follows the horizon toward the West it rests upon that of the Seminary, pointing like an indexfinger heavenward. JMcc far niail-c.' Sweet spirit of idleness! Who among the thousands congregated in the Capital City have sought Ihe blissful repose, the enchanting perspective to be had of an afternoon, and without co-t, by sim ply lying at rest beneath the trees and dreaming away the hours, while his vision is feasting upon the prospect spread out before him? How many of our people have thought it worth their while to visit Meridian Hill when nature is at her best, only for the purpose of gazing away southward and drawing inspiration froia tho beautiful picture presented to view When the clouds, like. shadows, lie. On the bosom of the sky. And tin--liips upon thesiiv'ry tide Go grandly sailing by? But it is not the panoramic effect alone that is pleasing. There are KNl'HANTIVU TROsPECTS lying in wait at the head of nearly every one of the numbered streets to entrap the tcsthctic taste. Seventh, Ninth, Tenth, Twelfth, Thirteenth, Four teenth, nnd Fifteenth streets present delightful vistas. Sixteenth street also lias its charms. At one end the broad thoroughfare is closed by the Presidential mansion, gleaming while aud classical from amid its surroundings of dark green foliage; at the other that marvel of engineering folly, the stand-pipe, elevates its lofty head (but no water) to attract ihe attention, even though it fails to please. Thestroets extend ing uninterruptedly through to the river afford gleams of silver nnd of the slenderspars and web like tracery of the rigging of the shipping thosr that do not, present otherattractious equally pleas ing. Looking along Tenth street, for iustanr the view is barred by the Sinithsonie along Thirteenth street by the AgricuUr Building both stately piles. Another fine rx of observation is from the south front of the State Department Building, which of itself magnificent specimen of architectural skill, w of more than a passing glance. Coming t avenues, the finest view to be had of the el of them is from the terraced stops at the front of the. Treasury Department, from point The RErcnLiCANbuilding (now Cem reau) aud the Pension Ofliee form A ORANIJ GATEWAY, through which the vision travels eastward Capitol, from whence a person may loo' Maryland or anyone of the intersecting a and find himself amply repaid for the From Howard University the vista prosei Rhode Island avenue is charming. Com, avenue i full of quiet beauty. Jn fact, s . any one of the delightful circles that "arc' sper-ed throughout Washington and it i cult to look iu any direction, followit course of street or avenue, withot holding effects of light, shade, perspective more beautiful than are to be se nay other city in the country. Beautiful these are, however, Massachusetts avenue pre: by all odds the most enchanting view. To ap! ciate fully the magnificent prospect one muststa upon the hish ground east of North Capitol stret. and look westward just as the snn begins to sink below the horizon. Glancing, along the broad thoroughfare, the eye skims the crest of the eleva tion at Twelfth street, flanked by the tfi.ll gray spire of Holy Gross Church, and thence travels on EE-IWEEN TWO WALLS OF GREEN, resting by the way upon the equestrian statues of Thomas and Scott, until at las: the vision melts away into the umbrageous foliage beneath which Rock Creek winds its way far up among the Mary land hills. Upon either hand, especially from Twelfth street to the western terminus of the ave nue, turrets and towers and domes triumphs of architecture and the builder's art rise grandly up above the trees. Nor are these costly and attractive residences confined to the avenue alone. Scarcely a square either to the southward or northward but shows thc a( yancing footprints of the spirit of improvement. But it is not the handiwork of man that give3 to Massachusetts avenue its chief attraction. When the Monarch of Day touches the huge, fleecy clouds that lie piled like mountains against the distant horizon, lighting them up with a heavenly conflagration, then the glori ous prospect commences to open upon the sense of sight. Gold and sil ver and crimson are blended to perfection by the master hand of God. The-wcstis transformed and becomes a temple of more thanrcgalsplcndor. From purple rim to zenith it is all ablaze. Rest ing upon the billowy sea of foliage beneath, the clouds at the Master's bidding take on strange shapes. Now they are snow-capped summits, be tween which one can catch glimpses or the far beyond. Anon they are resolved into form3 re quiring hut little aid from a fanciful imagination to enable the beholder to trace THE OUTLINES OF THOr. AND ODIN, and other fabled gods of old, and giants wearing sandals of purple and gold, breast-plates of crim son, and casques of burnished silver. As tho sun sinks down the spectacle grows in grandeur. The Occident sky dons its most gorgeous apparel. Sometimes the cloud mountain is cleft in twain and two pillars of gold are lifted up, forming a gateway, through which the orb of daydcparUaud through which one may almost imagine himself favored with a glimpse of glories which arc sup posed to exist within the confines of the great and Silent Laud. Gradually thcbrightuessfadesrslowly andsoftly the shadows fall ; and then as the twilight breezes part the clouds asunder they drift away like floating islands of the West upon the soft tinted bosom of the ctherial deep. Tho deception is sometimes so perfect, OWING TO THE CLEAR ATMOSPHERE and surrounding effects, that one can hardly real ize he is not standing upon the western edge of the continent, and, favored with celestial vision, gazing across the blue Pacific at the gems of islands here and there dotting its broad expanse. Thus the scene closes. Darkness settles down on the city, and speedily long double lines of twinkling lights gleam out, marking the streets aud avenues. Along some one of these he who has had the great good fortune to witness a glori ous sunset from the point we have indicated may make his way,; aud, reaching home, "retire to sleep and dream over what his eyes have beheld until morning shall again awaken him to life in Wash ington, the beautiful, the peerless city. AMUSEMENTS. Benefit of Messrs. Jnmcit A. Facan, S c. Elliott, mid tlie Potomac Boat Club. Lincoln Hall was comfortably filled by a select audience last night on the occasion of the complimentary benefit of James A. Fagan. The programme, which was an excellent one, was well rendered throughout. The Apollo Glee Club renewed its hold on popular favor by its ex cellent rendition of several selections, receiv ing encores, aud in one instance a double encore in acknowledgment of its efforts. Warren S. Young sang Gomez's "II Guarany" acceptably, and was heartily encored; Miss Eva Mills' execution of the " Waltz' song from "Romeo and Juliet " was highly artistic and pleasing, and won for her a well-merited encore, to which she responded with Blumcnthal's "Down by the River." The beneficiary, Mr. Fagan, fol lowed with Watson's "The .Sentinel," which af forded ample occasion for a display of his voice, which is a full, strong basso prof undo. Mr. John 0. Pugh was warmly welcomed by his numer ous friends, and sang "The Lover's Ride" and "A Warrior Bold" in his usually effective manner. Mr. Frank Pearson's voice is so well and favorably known that special comment is unnecessary, ne sang Blumcnthal's "Life." The readings of Messrs. John Tweedale and Ralph Jefferson added much to the pleasure of the even ing. The concert was a success financially, as well as artistically. It was a matter of regret that Mrs. Tme was unable to appear, and that some num bers upon the programme had to be omitted. MR. S. a ELLIOTT'S BENEFIT. The benefit of Mr. S. C. Elliott, which will be had at the National Theatre on Friday evening next, should be remembered early. Mr. Elliott has for years been a prominent amateur, and has always freely given his services in aid of local charity whenever asked, and now there should be a reciprocal attention from those whom he has favored. John Brougham's comedy, "Romance and Reality," which has never been played here, but which is full of brilliant wit and amusing situations, will be presented by a cast comprising such well-known amateurs us Ralph Jefferson, W. C. Murdock, Bert Riddle, Kim ball, Storey, Ridnour, Lewis, and Misses May McCauley and Williams. - "" THE "riRATES Or PENZANCE.". The Potomac Boat Club have entered into thM arrangements for the production of the "Pirates of. Penzance" on Tuesday next with the vigor and vim that characterizes all their efforts. The cast is unexceptionable, the orchestra will be large and under efficient leadership, and the chorus will cm brace many of our bright society ladies. Mr. War ren S. Young will sing " The Gallants of England," with full orchestral accompaniment, between the acts. TERREARD'S GARDEN. This modest place of entertainment is already winning success. The performers are among the best in the variety profession, and the programme is highly enjoyable. ASSOCIATED CHARITIES, Interesting meeting at the Arlington Hotel Xiast Evening. A meeting of the Associated Charities of the District of Columbia was held in the parlors of the Arlington last night, A. S. Solomons, esq., temporary chairman, presiding, and L. S. Emery officiating as temporary secretary. After some in troductory remarks from the chairman, the con stitution, which had been discussed and adopted at a previous meeting, was read in full. The motion of Charles Foster, esq., to proceed to the election of permanent officers elicited con siderable discussion. Mrs. Sara J. Spencer moved as a substitute that a committee of seven be appointed to make suitable nominations. General Eaton took the floor, and suggested that it would be better to defer the elec tion of permanent officers until an effort had been made to increase the membership of the association. Mr. Foster then withd rcw his motion, and substituted one for the designation of a committee on organization, to consist of seven members, who should report at the next meeting a list of nominations for perma nent officers, which was adopted. It was also suggested that each individual member of the association should en deavor to secure as many new members as pos sible by the next meeting, and to aid in this direc tion 300 copies of the constitution were ordered printed for circulation. The question of local or ganizations was touched uno- - - expedient to await -fore taking iv ciation t'" caai' careful stuuj. of the 'institute by Mr. Joseph M. nusuu, wno made a brief but effective address. The following were the successful recipients: Misses Bessie French, Helen Munroe, Bessie Miller, Carrie Wcst cott, Wallace Cragie, Marie Mattingly, Anna Bcn del, and Isabel McCalla. The diplomas to ' the graduates of the normal depart ment were conferred by the Rev. Dr. Faunce, whose remarks were peculiarly appropriate and attracted marked attention. The graduates were Misses Ada Woodley, Marion Hcndley. Mary Davidson, Lulu Denison, F. B. Nimmo, Recie Busbee, and Mrs. Emma Patten. The results of the year show how earnest and indefatigable have been the efforts of the Misses Graves, the efficient principals. THE SCHOOL BOABD. A LIVELY MEETING LAST NIGHT. Miss Lewis Vindicated Criticism or Superintend ent Wilson's Protest He Is a Subordinate Oorernor -Shepherd to Hare a School Xamed for Htm. The Board of School Trustees held their regular monthly meeting last evening in the Franklin building, Mr. Lovejoy presiding in the absence of tho president. Applications for po sitions as teachers' were read and filed from Misses Nellie H. McCauslen, M. Beall, Mamie V. Svvorm stedt, AnneM. Goding, Lizzie Rogers, Henrietta IC. Burroughs, Annie E. Loomis, Ella C.Saunders, Emma M. Gillet, and Marcia P. Rogers, and Messrs. H. R. Peters, C. J. Tucker, C. I. Webster, G. R. Israel, C. S. Sheldon, A. James, B. Johnson, A. W. Cummins, and H. W. Hewlett; as janitors, from B. Leach, J. R.Paul, J. W. Green, N. W. Wilkinson, F. A. Bentcr, C. Med ford, and G. Locke. A communication from the District Commissioners relative to certain sites se lected for the two new school buildings in the sec ond division was referred to the committee onbuild ings and repairs for action. The committee on teachers submitted a report, which was unani mously adopted, on the CHARGES AGAINST MISS CARP.IE E. LEWIS, a teacher in the seventh division, in which they recommended, as already published in The Na tional Republican, that she be admonished as to her conduct, the order of suspension be revoked, and that she be permitted to resume her duties in her school till the close of the present school year. The report was signed by Messrs. Lovejoy, Brownf Lloyd, Curtis, and Middleton, and was to the effect that they were of the opinion that the unanimous action of the sub-board of the seventh division was based upon evidence presented to them from trust worthy sources, and that such action was inspired by public and'disintcrestcd motives. They regret to report that the defense in this inquiry assumed in part an attack on a member of the sub-board, Mr. John H. Brooks, and subjected him to a charge of being influenced by improper motives, and they feel that it is due to him to state that the investi gation developed no ground for such a charge; on the contrary, the evidence satisfied the committee that Mr. Brooks was influenced throughout by a high sense of official duty. From the evidence adduced after a thorough investigation into the subject prior to, contemporaneous with, and sub sequent to the date of Miss Lewis' resig nation the committee on teachers re port that they find that the conduct of Miss Lewis was deserving of admonition and warning at the hands of the sub-board. They do not think that the evidence justifies her further suspension, aud recommend that the same be re moved, aud that her request to withdraw her resignation be granted, nnd that her services be continued for the remainder of this school year. Bills amounting to S7,99t.G9 were ordered to be paid. The District Commissioners called attention to the boisterous and reprehensible conduct of pupilsintheForccSchoolbuildingand requested a vigorous exercise of an order providing for ex pulsion of such offenders. A communication from building Inspector Eutwisle calling attention to the unsuitable condition of tho Northeastern market buildiug, a portion of which is now used for school purposes, and recommending the sale of the structure and release of tho ground, was re ferred to the committee on buildings and repairs. The reports of the superintendents for May showed the number of pupils enrolled to be 21,101; average daily attendance, 12,478; number of teachers employed, -130; cases of tardiness, 1.S3S; cases of corporal punishment, 39, and pupils dismissed, 8. A petition was read from the pupils of the fifth grade school taught by Miss Emma L. Bond ask ing her promotion to a school of the sixth grade. Thomas Thornton was appointed janitor of the Lee building, and J. W. Speakcs of the Henry building. The committee on rules, to whom was referred a letter of Mr. Henry Johnson protesting against his chil dren being marked absent Good Friday and Easter Monday, submitted a report in which they staled that the cause for such absence should be shown on the report of the pupil and not affect the standing. Mr. Smith offered a resolution ask ing that the name of the new building now in course of erection in the seventh division, at the corner of Tenth and V streets, be known as THE A. r.. SHEPHERD BUILDING. Mr. Brooks amended by substituting Garrison, and Mr. Wilkinson capped the climax with an amend ment favoring the name of Enoch Ambush. The subject was referred to the sub-board of thescY 'enth division. The chairman appointed Messrs. Dodtjc. Brown, and Lambert a committee to wait upoajthc President and request an increased water supply for the publicschool buildings of the Dis trict. Mr. Dodge presented a preamble and reso lutions, which were referred to a proper commit tee, setting forth that no exercise should be con ducted or permitted in any public school that would offend the religious or sectarian belief of any denomination of the- community, and that here after only such holidays be recognized as are made by law or by order of the District au thorities. A communication was read from the r Architect of the Capitol, submitting, with minor alterations, the plans for a high-school building agreed upon by the board at a previous meeting. A protest against the adoption of this plan was filed by Superintendent Wilson, who asked that it be printed in the minutes of the board, which gave rise to an animated discussion. Mr. Curtis said he thought Mr. Wilson HAD ACTED DISCOURTEOUSLY in sending in such a paper, and if he alone had power in the premises he would return it to him. Continuing, he said that Mr. Wilson was anxious to have a plan of his own adopted, and had taken one to the Architect of the Capitol for this purpose. Mr. Lovejoy disclaimed, for Mr. Wilson, any dis courtesy toward the board, but simply a desire to have an appropriate high-school building. Mr. Dodge said MR. WILSON WAS A SUBORDINATE of the board, and had no right to send in a protest against their action. He then detailed an inter view between Mr. Wilson and the Architect of the Capitol without the knowledge of the building committee of the board. The latter had invited him to their councils, and in return for this cour tesy he went off alone and got up a plau. The motion to print was defeated by a tie vote. The board then resumed the consideration of plan No. 2, submitted by Mr. Clarke, and adopted it by an overwhelming vote. COLORED SCHOOLS. Closing Exercises or the ''Eastern' Elglitli rnIe School Yesterday'. The pupils of the "Eastern" eighth grade school of the seventh division, Miss M. P. f ShadtL, teacher, located in the John F.

A Landlord Tears tlie Roof of a Ilocse ofl While Hie Tenant Is Absent. An interesting action for damages -was argued before Justice Richards yesterday. The case was that of a colored man named Cole who occupied a house owned by one Gaegler. While Cole and his family were out of the city Gacglcr, who desired to obtain possession of the property, tore off the roof of the house and pulled down the back building. When Cole came back the house was of course not habitable, and he claimed that by that reason the health of himself and family was injured, and hence the claim for damage. The defense set up was that Gaeglcr did not own the property when Cole first rented it, and that there was no breach of covenant on his part. The justice decided that the letter of the law left no alternative but to concede the right of damnges, the measure of such damages being reserved for future considera tion. Mr. F. II.

CITY ITEMS. They Open To-Dar-Derr Park and Oak land, aud tBeDlstlaaralshed People Who 1VI1I Spend the Season at These Resorts. The grand mountain resorts. " Deer Park "and " Oakland." on the line of the Baltimore and Ohio, in the Alleghanies, open for the season to-day. The action of the company In placing the hotels under the personal management of a thorough going, practical hotel man has resulted in giving them a prestige which cannot but make the sum mer at them the most successful known since the resorts were established. , The season opens with both hottses well filled with the first people of Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Pittsburg, aud engagements ahead for the accommodation of not a few distin guished people. Mrs. Garfield will spend some time at Deer Park, where the pure, bracing atmos phercof the mountain-top willdomorc than tonsof medicine to restore her again to perfect health. Secretary Windom will send his family to the same resort, nnd doubtless Secretary Kirk wood's family will also summer at the Park. Indeed, from present indications both Deer Park and Oakland will be honored with tlie presence of the President and nearly all of hia Cabinet, in ad dition to several of -the most distinguished mem bers of the Diplomatic Corps. Certainly no resorts offer more advantageous access from Washington than these lovely places in the Alleghanies. They are but seven hours' ride, with three through fast trains both ways daily. Spacious and luxurious palace cars are attached to all these trains, and the trip is one of the most beautiful from a scenic point of view to be found anywhere in the country. Mr. C. S. Wocd.thc manager of the hotels, from the great success he has met with as mine host of the Eutaw House at Baltimore, has led many of the best people of that city to establish themselves with him in the moun tains for the summer. That he will make-the table at both resorts noted for excellence and variety passes without question, for ho knows full well that without this the season will boa mockery. The hotels have been entirely renovated and put in splendid order. A new livery has been es tablished, new billiard tables and bowling alleys put in, and, in short, nothing has been left un done to insure perfect and unalloyed pleasure. That there will be no dearth of social enjoyment is more than guaranteed by the number and high standing of tho guests who have already engaged accommodations.
