Pennsylvania Tours.

An Autumnal Pleasure Trip

TO

GETTYSBURG, LURAY CAVERNS, NATURAL
BRIDGE, RICHMOND, and WASHINGTON.

THERE is a large class of people in every community who,
having both the means and the leisure to devote to travel,
always gladly respond to an invitation to make a trip when the
season is auspicious and the interest centring in the points to be
visited appeals to the natural desire for a change and promises a
reasonable measure of enjoyment. Such tours, short, direct, and
attractive, become far more desirable when they are not only
arranged by a recognized authority in travel, but the entire re
sponsibility of person or baggage, and all expenses of every char
acter, are assumed by the promoters of the tour.
In order to more fully facilitate the comfort and pleasure of
travel, the Pennsylvania Railroad Company has inaugurated a
tourist agency, which will from time to time offer the traveling
(3)

public such tours as- have been referred to above. The choicest
points in the land will be. selected, and the parties in charge of the
Tourist Agent will travel by continuous journey in through Pullman
cars, stopping at each point sufficiently long to enjoy all the pleas
ure and entertainment offered by each. Every item of necessary
expense will be covered by the tickets, and every detail of the trip
will be carried out by the Tourist Agent, thus leaving the tourist
free to devote himself to. untrammeled enjoyment. A matron will
also assist the agent in caring for the ladies.
The first of these tours from New England is appointed for Oc
tober 5th, 1887. The party will leave Boston on that date, and,
following the route prescribed on another page of this prospectus,
will visit the following points : —
THE BATTLEFJELD OF GETTYSBURG,
THE CAVERNS OF LURAY,
THE NATURAL BRIDGE,
THE CITIES OF RICHMOND AND WASHINGTON.
Every one of the points is replete with interest to every Amer
ican citizen, and each possesses an individual charm, which ren
ders it peculiarly attractive when visited in conjunction with the
others. ¦ The battleground of Gettysburg is the scene of the most
important military engagement of modern times, as well as of the
battle which was the turning-point in the late civil war. It was the
field on which the plans formed at Washington, the Federal capi
tal, and at Richmond, the Confederate capital, were fought to a
termination, and a study of the battleground will be completed by
the subsequent visit to the two cities from which the operations of
the contending armies were directed.
The Caverns of Luray furnish the most wonderful natural forma
tions of the world ; yet the visit to their subterranean depths would
be incomplete if the other great natural freak of the Old Domin-

ion— the Natural Bridge— were not included. The one discloses
nature's hidden handiwork ; the other exhibits a singular specimen
of her work on the surface of the earth. The connection between
all the points is obvious, and interest will increase until it reaches
a climax in Washington, the handsomest capital in the world.
In the course of their southward tour the first point reached
by the party will he GETTYSBURG.
The battle of Gettysburg was the largest as well as the most
momentous contest of the civil war. It was here that the flower
of southern chivalry was checked in its march of invasion and
driven back broken within the confines of the Confederacy. Never
afterward in the course of the struggle did the two armies meet in
deadly conflict on distinctly northern soil, nor was the ground lost
by the reverse at Gettysburg ever regained. The battle itself
did not occur in the town, but the general title is given to the
mighty struggle, continuing through three days and covering an
area of some twenty-five miles, of which the town is the centre.
Much of this fighting, however, was confined to cavalry skirmishes
and desultory engagements ; the battlefield proper, where the
largest numbers engaged and the fiercest onsets were made, was
that which is now held sacred as such, and so preserved by the
Battlefield Memorial Association. This association owns and
controls the entire line of battle. Within this territory nearly
two hundred thousand soldiers were engaged, forty thousand
of whom laid down their lives on the blood-soaked ground.
No battlefield in the world is better marked, nor better pre
served ; nor is there any on which memorials of valor are more
abundant. The memory of heroes and the perpetuation of noble
actions are kept alive by shaft or tablet, and the entire course
of the contest can be traced by these monumental stones. Not
only by these are the lines of the great duel preserved, but the
marks of the conflict itself, trenches, rifle-pits, breastworks, and
walls, still remain, while cannon, guns, shells, bullets, and other
relics may be found on the field. Shattered trees, broken walls,

and mutilated houses tell the tale of the terrific storm of shot
and shell which swept over these fair fields twenty-four years
ago. Many of the dead were buried on the ground which had drunk
their life's blood ; and the National Cemetery, dedicated by Lincoln
in his famous twenty-line speech, is one of the most interesting
features of the field. The names of Seminary and Cemetery
Ridges, Big and Little Round Top, Culp's Hill, Devil's Den, the
Peach Orchard, and Wheat-field, were christened in rivers of
blood, and are as well known as notable points in the great field
as is Waterloo, or Marathon, or Thermopylae.
The glories of the great battle are immortalized in history ;
fame rests upon it ; and among the decisive contests of the world
the name of Gettysburg is prominent.
It was the Mecca of American valor. On the last anniversary of
the battle the men in blue'and the men in gray gathered in frater
nal reunion on its historic soil, grasped hands in token of renewed
friendship and a reunited country, and added another and a
prouder title to the fateful field — the Mecca of. American Recon
ciliation. The party will be conveyed over the field in carriages, under
the guidance of authorized and experienced guides, who will
point out every feature of note.

THE ROUTE.
Gettysburg is situated on the Gettysburg and Harrisburg Rail
road, 155 miles from Philadelphia. West of Philadelphia the
route traverses the most beautiful and productive section of the
Keystone State. It passes through the rich agricultural region of
Chester county, the broad fields of Lancaster county, the city of
Lancaster, and, joining the picturesque Susquehanna at Middle-
town, follows its banks to Harrisburg, the State capital. The
long bridge over the river at this point discloses a view of won
derful beauty. From Harrisburg the route by the Cumberland
Valley Railroad lies through the celebrated Cumberland valley,
renowned alike for enchanting scenery and wonderful fertility.
At Carlisle, well known in former days as a Government recruiting
station, and now as the location of the celebrated Indian Training
School, the Gettysburg and Harrisburg tracks take the train and
bear it away through valleys and over mountains until the plain
of Gettysburg is reached.
Arrive at Gettysburg 1.30 P. M. Thursday.
Leave Gettysburg 11.00 A. M. Friday.
THE LURAY CAVERNS.
Leaving Gettysburg at 1 1 A. M. on Friday, the party will retrace
the steps of the previous day over the Gettysburg and Harrisburg
Railroad to Carlisle, and take again the Cumberland Valley Rail
road to Hagerstown. Passing through the pretty little towns of
Newville, Greencastle, and Shippensburg, Chambersburg is reach
ed. This town acquired unenviable fame in the civil war as being
the northernmost town which was laid in ashes by the torch of the

invader. It was burned by General Jubal Early in his invasion of
Pennsylvania. Shortly after leaving Chambersburg the route crosses the bound
ary between Maryland and Pennsylvania, and reaches Hagerstown,
a pretty and prosperous little city situated in the centre of a pro
ductive agricultural region. Following the line of the Shenandoah
Valley Railroad from Hagerstown, almost every name recalls rem
iniscences of the late war. The battlefield of Antietam, dotted
now by the white gravestones of fallen heroes, is skirted by the rail
road. The marks of shot and shell are still visible on the trees.
A lofty bridge spans the picturesque Potomac at Shepherds-
town, a charming little West Virginia village, built on the green-
carpeted cliffs everhanging the river. The environs of Shepherds-
town were, during the war, a camping or battle ground for both
armies. A little farther south is Charlestown, where John Brown
was tried and executed, and from which his soul commenced the
momentous march, which is still continuing with unabating ardor.
The court house, in which the famous trial was held, is visible from
the cars. BerryviUe, located on the famous Winchester pike, a
blood-soaked highway, immortalized in song by Buchanan Read's
celebrated poem of "Sheridan's Ride," is surrounded by a section
as fertile as it is historical.
Then comes White Post, the central point in the princely
domain of the Fairfaxes, and then onward along the banks
of the arrowy Shenandoah, through a landscape of rare beauty,
to Front Royal and Luray.
The entire length of the Virginia valley was a battleground.
With it are inseparably connected the names of Jackson, Banks,
• Shields, Early, Sigel, and Sheridan. Some of the most brilliant
campaigns of the war were conducted on its soil, while the dash
ing cavalry adventures of Mosby, White, and Ashby lend a ro
mantic tinge to the tragic pages of its war story.
It is a lovely land, replete in all that gratifies the senses, and
one looking upon its fair surface now can hardly realize that less
than twenty-five years ago it was a picture of waste and desola
tion.

THE CAVERNS.
Situated at Luray station, Page county, Virginia, on the line
of the Shenandoah Valley Railroad, two hundred and sixty-eight
miles from Philadelphia, in a region renowned for the pictur-
esqueness of its scenery and celebrated for its historical asso
ciations, are the Caverns of Luray.
The caves were discovered in 1878 by a rambling photographer,
and shortly thereafter were opened to the public. The full ex
tent of their subterranean depths were not then known, or even
dreamed of, and not until thoroughly-equipped exploring parties
had penetrated seemingly endless chambers and labyrinthine pas
sages, were their boundless riches disclosed and made accessible
to visitors. Since that time the fame of the caverns has penetrated
the uttermost parts of the earth.
Within the past few years the number of visitors has been enor
mous. Persons from all quarters of the globe, scientists, explorers,
and tourists, have wandered through the wonderful chambers, and
the general verdict of their united testimony is, that Luray Caverns
excel all others in the combined extent, variety, scientific interest,
and beauty of their calcite formations. A party sent out from the
Smithsonian Institution reports that, " Comparing this great nat
ural curiosity with others of the same class, it is safe to say that
there is probably no other cave in the world more completely and
profusely decorated with stalactitic and stalagmitic ornamentation
than that of Luray."
Recognizing the inestimable value of their remarkable posses
sion, the management of the caverns has provided every facility for
visiting all the chambers and seeing all the wonders in the most
comfortable manner. Plank and cement walks have been laid,
stairways, bridges, and railings have been erected where such help
was necessary, and the entire subterranean palace is illuminated by
electric lights. The interior is singularly free from dampness or
dripping water, and no special preparation for the visit is needed
in the matter of clothing. Plain clothing and stout shoes comprise
the necessary outfit, wraps being superfluous, as the temperature
remains, winter and summer, at about fifty-four degrees.

IN THE FAIRY REALM.
Entering the grand vestibule, the first emotion felt by the visitor
is one of mute wonder. The mind fails to grasp the grandeur re
vealed in such a majestic manner, until it gradually accustoms itself
to the monstrous shapes, the almost perceptible silence, and the
weird influence of this subterranean realm.' Queer shapes pre
sent themselves at every turn, aping grotesquely the objects of
the outer world, now suggesting some growth of animal life,
now resembling some familiar vegetable formation, or taking the
shape and form of some creation of man. Glittering stalactites
blaze in front, fluted columns, draperies in broad folds and a
thousand tints, cascades of snow-white stone, illuminated by the
glare of the electric light, fill the mind with curious sensations
of wonder and admiration. Awe and reverence possess the be
holder. He stands amazed in the royal chambers of the King
of Nature.
The various apartments and objects have all been named in
honor of some distinguished personage, or after something to
which they bear a striking resemblance.
The Vegetable Garden is a space enclosed with stalagmitic bor
ders, and containing stalagmites resembling vegetable forms,
bunches of asparagus, cauliflower, and cabbages. The Fish
Market is a reproduction in stone of a fish stall, with bunches
of bass, perch, shad, and mackerel hanging from its sides.
The Elfin Ramble, an open plateau five hundred feet long by
one hundred in breadth, is the play-ground of the princesses of this
fairy realm. Pluto's Chasm, a wide rift in the walls, contains
a spectre clothed in shadowy draperies. Hovey's Hall is adorned
with statuary and stalactite draperies, which, for beauty of color
ing, translucency, and symmetrical folding, are unexcelled by any
thing in the cave. Giants' Hall is a vast space, embracing several
chambers. Heroic sentinel forms loom up on every side, guard
ing the marvelous beauty of Titania's Veil, and watching over the
crystal waters of Diana's Bath. The Saracen's Tent, the Cathedral,
with its grand organ, and the Bridal Chamber, all bear striking
resemblance to the objects for which they are named. Hades, a

13
dark and gloomy abyss, receives its uninviting title from the un
fathomable depths to which it descends. The Ball Room, a mag
nificent apartment, gorgeously furnished, is full of interest ; while
Campbell Hall, named after the discoverer of the cave, is rich in
beautiful and enchanting ornamentation.
'- In addition to the solid formations of stone and crystal, a num
ber of beautiful lakelets are found in various parts of the caves.
. Crystal Lake is a body of pellucid water in a setting of sparkling
stalactites ; and the Imperial Spring is a silver pool richly enclosed
in a forest of columns. It is arched above with myriads of stalac
tites, reflected with most beautiful effect in the calm flood of the
spring. The transparent waters of these lakes are so deceptive that
rash visitors frequently subject themselves to a wetting in order to
convince their skeptical minds of the genuineness of the fluid.
No other caverns are known in which there can be found such
an infinite variety of quaint, curious, and wonderful formations.
Almost every object in nature is here reproduced in startling simi
larity; while the curious shapes and indescribable grouping of
thousands of others seem to be the handiwork of nature in a
playful mood. Fantastic, grotesque, beautiful, weird, grand, and
superb are words which find expression on the lips of every one,
as he gazes upon the treasures of this "house not made with
hands." An attempt to describe the wonders of the caverns were but to
essay a hopeless task. The great chambers are so numerous, their
contents of such limitless variety and such unexampled beauty,
that neither description nor picture can convey any adequate
idea of their merits as natural wonders.
Actual experience and close observation is the only mode
whereby any conception of the vastness and variety of the cav-
erns.can be gained. Even then, one is overcome by the surround
ing splendor and dazzled by the brilliancy of the effects.
Such an experience is an event of a lifetime, which will remain
green forever on the tablet of memory.
Arrive at Luray 5.30 P. M. Friday.
Leave Luray 2.00 P. M. Saturday.

H
ON THE WAY TO NATURAL BRIDGE
When the tourists take their train at Luray to continue their trip
to the Natural Bridge, they may settle themselves to enjoy several
hours of rare sight-seeing. The country traversed presents pic
tures of unusual beauty, and the many charming vistas, in which
mountain, stream, valley, and meadow mingle, serve to embellish
the journey with constantly-increasing pleasure. They are travel
ing through the battleground of the Shenandoah valley, and
almost any spot the eye rests upon could unfold a tale of bravery,
courage, heroism, or slaughter. It was devastated by the legions
of Sheridan ; but now, with that spirit which is busily building up
a new South, its people have forgotten the horrors of war, and are
rapidly restoring, their land to a far better condition than it ever
enjoyed before. Besides the arts of agriculture, the wonderful re
sources in minerals and the great lumber interests are being de
veloped, and signs of progress and prosperity are manifest on
every side.
The road threads its way through the valley between the Blue
Ridge and Alleghany ranges, and for many miles keeps com
pany with the Shenandoah river. On either side of the road
smiling fields run up to the sides of the mountains, where they
meet a line of unbroken forest.
Through miles of beautiful landscape the train speeds on to
Port Republic. This little town, a ' ' port ' ' of flat-boat navigation,
is situated at the junction of the north and south forks of the
Shenandoah. Here it was that Jackson and Shields, on June ioth,
1862, fought the terrible battle in which Jackson thought the dead
outnumbered the living. Hard-by is Weyer's Cave, whose glories
are now dimmed by the brilliancy of its neighbor at Luray. At
Crimora there are rich deposits of manganese, and at Wayne%boro
Junction the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway is crossed.
A rich farming land spreads out to the south from Waynesboro,
and then the route plunges into the mountains, through as wild
and as rugged scenery as can be seen in the Eastern States. Deep
ravines, jagged mountain sides, and mad cataracts take the place

15
of pleasant valleys, swelling foot-hills, and peaceful brooks ; while
the mountaineer's hut is the only visible habitation of man.
Presently the south branch of James river comes in view, and
after winding along its meandering banks for a few miles, the third
break' in the journey occurs at
THE NATURAL BRIDGE.
This great wonder, which was pre-eminent as the natural attrac
tion of the Old Dominion before the Luray Caves were known, is
situated at the western gateway of the great valley. In its imme
diate vicinity the James river breaks through the obstructing
mountains amid as grand and beautiful surroundings as those
which beautify the passage of the Potomac through the historic
gap at Harper's Ferry. The scenery along the entire length of
the valley is very attractive, and that immediately surrounding
the bridge is celebrated for its beauty. The bridge itself is a
natural prodigy, and is the most perfect specimen of natural
bridge-building in existence.
It spans a gorge several hundred feet in depth, arid one hundred
feet wide, through which a mountain stream wends its stony way
to the river. For many years it was used as the regular viaduct
of the stage road, and even to the present day it is in constant use
as a part of the public highway. The foundations and the road
way are of solid stone, more firmly embedded in the earth than
the abutments constructed by any human engineer, arid the arch,
as one looks at it from the bottom of the abyss, is as perfect as if
hewn out of the overhanging rock.
Thomas Jefferson, a man of profound learning and remarkably
well versed in the history and geology of his own State, has
left a graphic and interesting description of it in his "Notes on
Virginia." He ranks it with the wonders of the world; and the
tourist who looks upon it to-day is disposed to endorse the
judgment of the statesman and philosopher.
A grand, park of many hundred acres surrounds the bridge.
The natural beauty of the park is striking. It is dignified with
magnificent forest trees ; stately rocks covered with the moss of

i6
centuries rise up here and there ; deep ravines, through whose
shadowy depths a crystal stream winds its tortuous way, are
spanned by rustic bridges ; while height and valley afford beautiful
prospects over a wild and picturesque landscape, or glimpses
of rare beauty through vistas of foliage or wild flowers. Fine
drives lead over the vast domain, and picturesque paths mark
the way for pedestrian or horseman through the wilderness inac
cessible to carriages. Many points of interest are contained in
the park beside the overtopping attraction of the bridge, notable
ones being the Saltpetre Cave, the Profile, Pulpit Rock, and Lace
Water Falls. The illuminated cascade is a beautiful object ; but
grander than all else is the bridge, illuminated by hundreds of
colored lanterns. This display is made every Saturday night.
The drives around the bridge are celebrated for their beauty.
The party will enjoy these by carriage or the saddle, as their
tastes may incline.
The Forest Inn will afford hotel accommodations.
Arrive at Natural Bridge 6.30 P. M. Saturday.
Leave Natural Bridge 10.30 A. M. Monday.
ON TO RICHMOND.
The tourists, following the old battle-cry of " On to Richmond,"
will double on the course from Natural Bridge to Waynesboro.
At this point their train leaves the tracks of the Shenandoah Val
ley Railroad and enters upon those of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Division of the Newport News and Mississippi Valley system. A
short time after leaving Waynesboro the train plunges into the
darkness of the Blue Ridge tunnel, to emerge on the other side
into one of the prettiest landscapes that the eye of man ever
rested upon. The road is built along a high and rocky shelf, at'
the feet of which rests the famous Piedmont valley. It is an
enchanting picture of pastoral repose : handsome farms, vine-clad
hills, shaded groves, and silvery streams, with a straggling mount
ain spur here and there, form a panorama of unrivaled beauty.
While yet in the contemplation of this rural loveliness, the Univer
sity of Virginia, founded by Thomas Jefferson and built under his

17
supervising eye, flashes into the landscape just before the train
stops at Charlottesville.
Charlottesville is a thriving inland town, the centre of a fine
agricultural community, as well as of the fruit and grape growing
section of Piedmont, Virginia. As the train passes beyond the
town, Monticello, the residence of Thomas Jefferson, perched
high on a commanding mountain, comes into view ; and as it glides
over the bridge spanning the Rivanna, the ruins of Shadwell Mills,
built and conducted by Thomas Jefferson, may be seen on the
right of the railway. Fine farming land spreads out on either side
as the train pushes onward to Gordonsville, a prominent railway
centre of war times. Attractive rural scenery borders the way,
and quiet Virginia hamlets punctuate the line, until the seven hills
of Richmond overlooking the ihajestic James rise into view, and
promise a new field of interest for the morrow.
RICHMOND.
Richmond, on the James, is one of the most beautiful and his
toric of southern capitals. From its foundation in 1757 it has
occupied a prominent place in American history. It was famous
in colonial days as the commercial centre 'of the planters, cele
brated in Revolutionary and subsequent times as the capital of the
Old Dominion, and famed throughout the world in latter days as
the seat of the late Confederate government.
During the greater portion of the late war it was the central
point in interest to the contending hosts, and around its seven
. hills many of the fiercest battles were waged, and its capture was
the last important event of the tragic struggle.
The city is picturesquely located on seven hills, overlooking
the waters of James river. The streets are wide and adorned
with handsome public buildings and private dwellings. Several
pretty squares, shaded with fine trees and ornamented with a
wealth of shrubbery, contribute greatly to the beauty of the town.
Places of interest are numerous. The State Capitol is an im
posing building, located on high ground, and surrounded by a
handsome park. The State Library contains many relics of olden

i8
times, as well as a notable collection of portraits of the prominent
Virginians who have won fame as statesmen, orators, and jurists.
Houdon's celebrated statue of Washington adorns the centre hall
of the Capitol. The equestrian statue of Washington, one of the
finest monuments in the country, stands in Capitol Square, as does
also the statue of Henry Clay and the bronze statue of Stonewall
Jackson. The church buildings are notably fine. In old St.
John's the memorable Virginia Convention was held, when
Patrick Henry uttered the burning words which struck the key
note of liberty and secured him immortality. St. Paul's, another
striking edifice, is memorable as the church in which Jefferson
Davis received the news of the fall of Petersburg. The Libby
Prison, now a factory, recalls many recollections of war times ;
and the White House, the official residence Of Jefferson Davis, is
an object of interest.
Hollywood Cemetery, located at the falls of" the river, is full of
picturesque scenery, and contains many handsome monuments.
The remains of Presidents Monroe and Tyler are buried here.
Many other interesting points to which the party will be carried
are enumerated below.
The tobacco factories and flouring mills of Richmond are famous
and well worthy a visit, as is also the Tredegar Iron Works, where,
in ante-bellum days, the heavy ordnance of the National Govern
ment was cast, and now the seat of the first and only Bessemer
steel plant south of the Potomac river.
During their stay in Richmond the party will be located at
Ford's Hotel, a commodious building, situated in the heart of the
city, adjoining and commanding a fine view of Capitol Park, with
its statuary, monuments, fountains, and flower-beds.
Carriages will be provided to convey the party to the fol

WASHINGTON.
Having seen everything of note in the capital of the Old Do
minion and the former capital of the Confederate States, the party
will leave for the National Capital over the Richmond, Fredericks
burg and Potomac Railroad. The most notable points on the
route are the ancient towns of Fredericksburg and Alexandria,

both at one time important commercial centres, and both promi
nent in the annals of the war.
The Potomac is crossed by the historic Long Bridge, and the
tourists disembark in the handsome station of the Baltimore and
Potomac Railroad, to which a tragic interest has been given by the
assassination of President Garfield, which occurred in its waiting-
room. Carriages will be in readiness to convey the party to Willard's
Hotel, their headquarters while in the city. Willard's is centrally
located on Pennsylvania Avenue, half a square from the Treasury,
a short distance from the Executive Mansion, and within easy
access to all the public buildings.
THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
Washington, the seat of the general government, is the hand
somest city in.America, and one of the most beautiful capitals of
the world. Its location, on the banks of the Potomac river, sur
rounded by the protecting highlands of Maryland and Virginia, is
picturesque ; and the arrangement of the streets and avenues, the
grouping of the public buildings, the large number of handsome
parks and squares, and the rich profusion of trees, flowers, and
shrubbery in the public grounds, give to the city a distinctive
beauty and attractiveness that place it far above all other cities in
the land. The plan of the city was originally designed by a
French engineer, and approved by General Washington ; but for
many years the development was slow, the broad avenues were
unadorned with buildings, and the skeleton of the present city, on
account of the straggling nature of its improvements, and the
great gaps between its buildings, gained the sobriquet of "the
city of magnificent distances," — a title bestowed in scorn by a
sneering foreigner, but now turned into a designation of merit by
the magnificence of the structures with which the "distances " are
hedged. Within the last twenty years the city has developed
rapidly. Millions of dollars have been appropriated by the Na
tional Government in improving and beautifying it, and with the
millions more expended by private enterprise, the Capital reflects

credit on the great people whose genius created and whose liber
ality fostered its unexampled growth.
The public edifices command the admiration of the world. They
have been projected with the same regard for magnitude which
characterizes all the features of the Capital, and have been con
structed and adorned with a hand as lavish in the expenditure
of- money as it; is cunning in architectural skill and decorative
genius. First, among all the buildings, is
THE CAPITOL.
It is the largest and handsomest government building on the
face of the earth. The eminence, whose crest it surmounts, is
many feet higher than the surrounding ground, and thus the im
mense proportions of the structure rise in majestic grandeur above
the city. The edifice, constructed of white marble, is seven hun
dred and fifty-one feet long by three hundred and twenty-four feet
broad, and the ground-plan covers three and one-half acres. The
dome, whose apex is crowned by the bronze figure of the Goddess
of Liberty, rises three hundred and ninety-seven feet above low
tide in the Potomac, and those who climb to the summit will be
rewarded with not only a splendid bird's-eye view of the city, but a
magnificent prospect over the hills and valleys of Virginia and
Maryland. The main divisions of the building are the rotunda,
the Senate chamber, and the hall of the House of Representatives,
with the lesser chamber of the Supreme Court, Statuary Hall, the
President's Room, the Marble Room, and the various apartments
devoted to business purposes. Great porticos, supported by lofty
columns, adorn both the east and west fronts. The grand stair
ways leading from the porticos to the pavement beneath are made
to serve a great purpose in the decoration, and the most notable
groups of allegorical-statuary adorn the pediments and buttresses.
The great bronze doors hang in the doorway leading from the
grand portico to the rotunda. These are famous works of art, and
their panels portray by figures in relief the principal events in the
life of Columbus. The rotunda is an imposing apartment. Its

encircling walls are embellished with paintings illustrative of the
chief events in the history of America ; while the canopy, one
hundred and eighty feet above the floor, is illumined with a
series of allegorical groups representing the progress of civili
zation. Statuary Hall contains a collection of statues of the
prominent soldiers, jurists, or statesmen of each State. The hall
of Representatives in the south and the Senate chamber in the
north wing are both magnificent rooms. The Marble Room and
the President's Room, in the rear of the Senate chamber, are
remarkably beautiful, both in architectural finish and interior
decoration. The Supreme Court room is notable as the judgment-
seat of the highest tribunal in the land. It is open during the
day. The justices, in their silken gowns, and the dignified air
which pervades the whole apartment, make the visitor feel that
he is in the august presence of personified Justice.
Grand stairways lead from the several stories of the building,
all of which bear striking decorations. The corridors and ceilings
are celebrated for the frescoes with which they are illuminated ;
and, in fact, the entire building is stored with treasures of brush
and chisel, which command the attention and compel the admira
tion of the most careless sightseer.
The Capitol Park contains about fifty acres. It is planted in
handsome trees, ornamented with parterres of flowers, and laid
out in broad walks. Fountains throw up wreaths of silver spray,
and magnificent lamps combine utility with beauty. Notable
statues in the Capitol grounds are the colossal statue of Wash
ington, in the east park, and the heroic bronze statue of Chief Jus
tice John Marshall, at the foot of the staircase of the west portico.
The Capitol is open every day except Sunday.
THE EXECUTIVE MANSION,
popularly known as the White House, is located at the western
end of Pennsylvania Avenue, the grand boulevard of the city.
The building is one hundred and seventy by eighty-six feet, built
of freestone painted white, two stories high, with high porticos on
the north and south fronts. The grounds are extensive, stretch-

23
ing to Pennsylvania Avenue on the north, and to the Washington
Monument and river on the south. The East Room, Blue Room,
and State Dining-Room, all handsomely furnished, and ornament
ed with portraits of the presidents and their wives, are. open to
public inspection. In the Blue Room the public and private re
ceptions are held. The conservatories contain a large collection
of rare plants and beautiful flowers.,,
THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT
is a large and imposing granite structure, situated on Pennsylvania
Avenue and Fifteenth Street, adjoining, the President's grounds.
It is the great storehouse of the nation's money. The office of
the Secretary of the Treasury is a very handsome apartment. The
cash-room is not only a beautiful, but a very fascinating, chamber,
as within the walls all the coin and ,currency of the country are
handled. Visitors are admitted to the gallery. The strong boxes,
or vaults, and the redemption division, where worn-out and dis
abled currency is counted and canceled, may be visited on a per
mit from the Secretary of the Treasury. The Bureau of Engrav
ing and Printing, although under control of the Secretary of the
Treasury, occupies a separate building on the Mall south of the
Treasury, near the Washington Monument. The process of en
graving and printing the notes and bonds may be seen here. Vis
itors admitted 9.30 to 11.45 A. M., and 12.30 to 2.00 P. M.
THE STATE DEPARTMENT.
The immense building, rising five stories above the street, and
surmounted by a mansard roof, which bounds the President's
grounds on the west, is devoted to the State, War, and Navy De
partments. It is one of the newest of the public edifices, as well
as one of the finest. The architecture of the building is much ad
mired, as it represents an effective blending of the ancient with
the modern. The Department of State occupies the southern
wing. The interior decoration of the apartments is very elegant —
the handsomest being the suite used by the Secretary of State and
his assistants, and the diplomatic reception-room. The library, in

24
the third story, contains a magnificent collection of works relating
to statecraft. It also contains the origin al draft of the Declaration
of Independence, and the desk upon which it was written ; Gen
eral Washington's sword, and his commission as commander-in-
chief; and various other relics of historical value; the original
rolls of the law, the treaties, and other documents relating to the
consular and diplomatic service of the Government. Open from

THE WAR DEPARTMENT.
The north wing of this building furnishes the quarters of the
War Department. It contains the Headquarters of the Army and
the office of the Secretary of War, with their administrative bureaus.
A very interesting collection of the portraits of distinguished gen
erals will be found in the Army Headquarters and the apartments
of the Secretary. The most interesting feature of the War De
partment to the general visitor is the Ordnance Museum, in the
Winder building, just across Seventeenth Street, opposite the De
partment proper. This annex contains the records and archives
relating to the late war. The flag-room contains a collection of
battle-torn and bullet-riddled flags used on both sides in the war.
The exhibit of arms and accoutrements is also large and interest
ing. Some very old pieces of ordnance are shown side by side,
with the examples of latest invention. The office of the Signal
Service is also here ; and one may see the working of the instru
ments employed in various meteorological observations. Open

THE NAVY DEPARTMENT.
This Department occupies the south half of the east wing of the
main building. The offices of the Secretary of the Navy and his
assistants are strikingly handsome. The library is also noticeable
for the style of its decoration. The Hydrographic Office, contain
ing the largest chart printing press in the United States, is located
here, as is also the office of the Nautical Almanac. The grand
stairways leading from attic to basement are wonderful pieces of
workmanship. Open 9 to 3.

25
THE INTERIOR DEPARTMENT.
The principal branches of the Interior Department are patents
and pensions. The Patent Office is an immense pile of granite
covering two squares, extending from Seventh Street to Ninth,
and F to G. The building is one of the handsomest of all the
public offices, and is excellently arranged. The chief interest
attaches to the museum of models, in which there is a model
of every machine or device ever patented in the United States.
An interesting relic to be seen here is the original printing press
used by Benjamin Franklin. Open 9 to 4.
THE PENSION OFFICE.
The Pension building was dedicated to public uses on the 4th of
March, 1885, when the grand ball in honor of the inauguration of
President Cleveland was held within its spacious walls. It is the
latest acquisition to the number of public buildings, and differs
from the, others in its simplicity as well as in the materials used, —
brick, terra-cotta, and iron. It is a very large structure, covering
two acres, and three stories in height. The enormous business of
the Pension Office, is transacted in its numerous offices.
THE POST-OFFICE DEPARTMENT.
The general Post-Office building is located on F Street, just
opposite the Patent Office. It is an imposing granite building of
the Corinthian style of architecture. One can get a very good
idea of how the vast business of the Post-Office is conducted, and
may also visit the Dead-Letter Office on a permit from the Post
master-General of his chief clerk. A number of objects of interest
may be seen, among others the book of accsunts kept by Benja
min Franklin, first Postmaster- General of the Colonies. Open 9

the Capital. ; It is built of red freestone, of Norman architecture,
and is overtopped by towers and turrets of varying styles and

26
heights. The surrounding grounds embrace about fifty acres,
beautifully laid out inwalksj drives, and flower-beds, and planted
in one hundred and fifty varieties of trees. The Institution was
founded and endowed by James Smithson, an Englishman, for the
"increase and diffusion' of knowledge among men. " It contains

esting to the visitor. A bronze statue of Professor Joseph Henry,
first secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, stands a short dis
tance north of the building. Open 9 to 4.

a pleasing order of architecture, situated in the Smithsonian

ics, and textiles drawn from all quarters of the globe and repre
senting. all stages of civilization. The ethnological, metallurgical,

uated near the Washington Monument, where may also be seen a

freely by day, but the number of night visitors is restricted by
reason of interference with astronomical work.

Hotel, along Pennsylvania Avenue to Rock Creek, thence through
Georgetown and beyond to Oak View, the handsome country-seat

located on the heights overlooking the city, to and around the
princely estate surrounding the Soldiers' Home, and back to the
starting point by the Seventh Street Road, Fourteenth Street, Mas
sachusetts and Vermont Avenues. While this drive takes in the
most notable suburban scenery, it also covers the handsomest por
tion of the city itself, passing by the majority of the handsome res
idences of statesmen, soldiers, and jurists, as well as many of
the public edifices and the mansions of the foreign ministers.
