This city, be it rememurc'd, with all its ne-
-tionel consequences, is more of a vest lodg-
&. ing house undres’tsnrant, than anything else.
While at home 3:11 staid, thrifty New Eng-

of matchn‘ing or business done in our
towns, here'V the specialty is to manufacture
good meal? Iill'difi'crentVV lodgings and seduc-

thing’_’ it is, to:- it not only disposes of thous-

‘ tasteless Southern bivalves, but it is a novel-
‘ tyV' 1n cookery, and hes made its inventor
.V.ric!1 enough to creel the finest lion building
I on the Avenue. ;
Speaking of the Avenue, it should be stat-
7V ed that by the 11.179: congress, this widest
_and most hesutifnl Avenue in the .worid is
being paved with tarredwooden b!ocks,and

Ituttiy drags, andshow up their fast trottcrs.
Washington just now istirly raging with
_ a scarlet fever of-.pnbl_ic improvement. The
old foesiis of Washington are aghast at the
riotous work of paving, grading,- sewcringV‘
and curbing. If this condition .of things
continue, there may be some chance of the
present generation seeing the debris cleared
away from about the nominally completed
Capitol building, and the genera! air of «I»
finishednase surrounding our national house
of legislation, remedied and removed. The
_. depot here, but a few rode it": the Capitol,
lands the stranger right in the midst of the
Icity' a greatest. poverty and degradation.—
And the shanties and Patagonian hutson. all
sides, and almost under the caves of the
- great marble edifice, do not inspire the. via-.
itor with that sublime idea of the “eternal
fitness of IthingsI’.’ which we hope the im-
proved and fixed-upVI Washington of 5 very
few yesrahence, will beget. Since the war,
an almost entirely new element of North-
ern population and sentiment,» to-busiuess,
building, living, cte.,I has flowed' In upon the
heretofore Southern modes and spirit of de-
ing things. This new element now seems
to have gained the ascendancy in municipal
affairs as well as in sentiment and business.
The fruits are to be seen in the erection of
large numbers of first-close, modern residen-
_ces; in the ahowiness and New York style
of the stores; in the genera! cleaning and
spurring-up of almost everything about the.
.city. _The climate of winter here“ Is exceed- 2
ingly attractive, and now that “homes, ”in

Sunnmv' Dream—On Saturday’morning
our community was startled to hear that
Charles Wm. Wilson a universal‘ yesteemcd
young clerk in Prowitt’s drug store, was
found dead in bed that morning. It seems
that he remained 'homs Thursday and Fri-
day, not feeling able to go to the store, but
was not seriously sick. Friday night his
father was with him after twelve o’clock,
and then returned to an adjoining room,
leaving the door open. At four o’clock he
spoke to him, but receiving no answer, sup-
posed him to be asleep. At five o’clock he
called again, then went to the bedside and
found the son dead. The disease was prob-
ably some form of diptheria. Messrs. Pr‘ow.
itt speak of his character in hightcrms of
commendation. When he entered their
employ he engaged for a term of three
years, which closed the evening he wits
taken ill, and he was to have commenced
a new engagement the next morning.

that he often approached the other, with a tendency
to become rethertoo soft and cfieminatc. Be isV evi-
dently no imitator but carries out his own conception
of character. Bls Hamlet, it: the Closet scene, was
certainly not modelled after Edwin Booth. The
Trial, from the “ Merchant. of Venice,” (recited from

but then—we have never made the issue a study, and

In several on-I- Vm‘y communicatIons recent-
ly I have expressed the {opinion that the
Dominican or Spanish portion of the Island
of St. Domingo would be a valuable acqui-
'sltion to this country, and prove a blessing ‘
to both peoples, if it could be done without
involving us in a war with either of the par-
ties in conflict there now; which I was sure
would be the case if annexed while the war
having unfortunately, "as ' I
povver; by far the weaker party, in numbers,
wealth and intelligence; but whblly exclud-
Ved from any voice in? the question of annex-
ation. I'hsve so mny explained the or’gin
of this war 111' my communications to the
Game, and-the character of the two chiefs
and prominent men engaged in it, that I
have no occasion to add anything here. Re-
cent advices indicate a change of govern-
ment there before our government can take
action on the question ofannexation,which
I hear, is again to be submitted to Congress
in a somewhat modified form. If the expect-
ed change in the government there should
take place as predicted, it will tend to facil-
itate the union of the two countries. and
perhaps remove some of the opposition to it
from our side; for it would surely do away
with all apprehension of a war so retain it
after annexation.-
quiVVetV possession, it. Would be utterly impos-
gible to start any serious opposition to our
laws and liberal government, which the
Dominican’ s have never been able to com-
prehend, never having experienced any-
thing of the kind. 7
I now propose to point out some of the
advantages I think we should derive from
l such a union, which my long residence there
am: knowledge of the countrysnd its inhab-
itantsI enable me to speak- of with some de-
said and written, of our great need of a safe,
convenient and central naval station in the
West Indies, by these more competent to
judge of such matters than I am; and that
all these are comblned in‘ the Bay and Pen-
insula of Samana, the custom extremityof
that island. But, in my estimation a safe
and convenient refuge for our navy, sinks
into insignificance in comparison with our
present and rapidly increasing need - of u
convenie‘ and aslubrious place of- resort
in the tropics under own laws and govern-
ment for invallds, which our own changes-
ble and inclement climate' is producing par-
ticularly 1n the New England and Middle
States. - The number of physicians and
apothecarles maintained here will testify to
tbe' truth'of. this; and though they-some-
timcslst'u as well as aura, they are, neverthe-'
less, considered indispensable in every town,
and village, and settlement, And the num-
ber of diseases to which flesh is heir to here,
and still.r increasing, mostjof which is un-
known or rarely ever experienced in the
tropics, is scarcely equaled by the list of
remdies on the apotbecaries shelves. Born
and reared' In New England, and having re-
sided more than twenty-five years in the
tropics, I can speak from experience. .
But it is for its renovating efi'ects on that
innumerable host of our people, a large pro.
portion of which are young mothers, hast-
ening to early graves by our inhospitable
climate, that thescquisition of that country
would prove most valuable to us. No resi-
dent herc can judge of their numbers- I
have met hundreds of them in Cuba, Porto
Rico, St. ThomasVIaVnd Sata Cruz, andIheaI-d
their complaints of the want of home com-
forts; the great privation of intellectual and
religions privileges, and the perplexities of
living under a monarchical form of govern-
ment with its absurd and cumbersome re-
strictions; so annoying to those - who have
lived under our free system. All these things
are peculiarly trying to invalids, rendered
peveish and fretf‘u! by disease; and there-
fore it is that many who have visited those
islandsV in pursuit of health, and have been
benefitted,do not return as they ought a sec-
ond and a third winter to complete their
many others from going, where they cannot
have any of the comforts of an American
home.
A country so vast in extent and so attrac-
tive as St. Domingo; so rich and varied in
inet purposes, ship and house building, dy-
ing, etc. and unsurpasscd‘ 1n agricultural
advantages, it would, fi'om its proximity to
our shores, and more salubrious and cheer-
ful climate, cause even a greater rush of our
population than California did when it first
came under our g0vernment; and sooner
outnumber the trifling population it now
contains for its extent, being but about 180,-
000, or ten to a square mile. 7
Tho‘se who have seen no other country
but that in which they were born, can have
but an imperfect idea of the beauty, the
grandeur and the munificcnce of our Crea-
tor’s work, or His complete arrangements
for our suppers and comfort. Each country
of the world has its monitor variety of pro-
ductienVs, and no one country produces all
that we require, or. at .least that we feél we'
require; and this, no doubt, was one of the
Wise arrangements of our Creator in thus
making it a necessity for us to go from one
country to another and interchange their
commodities for our mutual advantage. And
nature 7 furnishes . us examples which we
should generally do well to follow. The
fish of the sea, the fowls of the air; and to
some extent the undomesticated animals of
the forest make their Semi-annual mi gration‘
to ave: 'd the rigors of our winters in the
North, and the debilitating effects of the
heat of the South in answer; and if we oc-
where so many of our people who cannot
stand this climate eculd resort in winter and
have all the comforts of an American home,
with its social, intellectual and religious
privileges,‘ which we know best bow teap-
preciate when deprived of them; it would
save annually hundreds of valuable lives and
contributcvastly to our comfort and happi-
ness,Vif not to our wealth. And a union
with that country would be even more ltd-V
vatttageotts to the'IDominicau’s, who have
seldom been a year since it was first occu-
pied by Spain, without some deadly domes-
tic conflict; a common inheritance to all the
countries in the New World colonized by
Spain; and the natural result 'of her relig'.
ions bigotry, religious intolerance and des-
.potic systém of government; in which the
ecclesiastical takes precedence of the mili
fury, and the military of the civil authority
We can refer the Dominican’s with becom-
ing national pride, to the benign effects of
our system of government, equal rights and
religious toleration in Florida, Texas and
California, which were likewise first colo-
VMexico, Venezuela, and indeed all the other

event was the occasion of several days_: fast-

the clergy. And thus it is with them, they
are frequently found rejoicing over a curse
and mourning for a blessing, almost in the
same breath. Like those countries the gov-

Boston, have just issued a pretty little vol-
ume fi'om that sweetest of all modern poets,
Whittier. It comprises several already pub-
lic contributious from. his gifted pen, with
sundry mgitive' poems, hitherto unpublish:
ed. The soul-yearning of the Quaker poet,
and his warm human love and charity,
breathe through the present versifications as
irresistably as in' his “Tent on the Bench. ”

AGcrman of Frankfort late!“ tried to
commit suicide by throwing hintselflnto the
Mein. Onbcing fished outby a boatman‘ and
led before a magistrate, he gave the follow-
ing lamentable account of himself :—“Some
time since I married a widow who had a
daughter of eighteen. My father, who often
came to see us, fell' 1n love with this daugh-
ter and married her. By reason of this my
daughter my mother; she being. as you see,
the wife of my father. Not long after this
my own wife bore me a son, who-was the
father of myfathcr (and consequently my
grandfather). andVatI the same time my un-
cle, seeing that he was the brother of my
stepmother. In her turn my stepmother,
who was also my stepdaughter, brought
forth a son, who became both my son, my
brother and my grandchild. Thus my- own
wife, being the mother of my father’s wife,
was my grandmother; I myself was the bus-
band of my wife and he.- grandchild; and
us the husband of a person’s grandmother
becomes naturally the‘ grandfather of that
person, it renewsfiom all this that I am my
own grandfather. V This distracting state’of
things,” remarked the German in conclusion,
.“deprived life ofIits sweets. 7From trying to
make out my position I became efiiicted
with a chronic headache , so that at last,
to put an end to it all, I went and pitched
myself into the river. ” V .
