I do not know the exact number of millions of dollars that "Boss" ' Shepherd is said to have expended in the improve ments at the capital , but the fact is pat ent to every stranger that Washington is the finest city in the world. Think of forty-eight miles of smooth concreted streets , shaded on cither side by mag nificent trees of the best varieties I The problem of municipal cleanliness , too , is solved by the excellence of the streets and the thoroughness with which they can be swept by the modern sweeping wagons. In the last ten years , then , we have seen that Washington has improv ed more than it had from the time of its foundation at the beginning of the cen . tury , and in the next decade , when the whole cit3r shall have undergone the re juvenating processes that Shepherd ap plied to the favored portions of it , the American citizen will possess a Capital that he may well be proud of. As to its sanitary condition , Washington has long been regarded as an unhealthy spot be cause of its malarial influences , but Con y gress has taken hold of the work of removing Is Isii moving the cause of this complaint , in iiL the filling up of the Potomac Flats , the 2i dredging of the river , and widening the channel so as to secure an uninterrupted c flow of the Potomac waters on the occasion SI SIsi sion of spring and summer floods. Be si side this , the city is building the larg SI est sewer in the world , a conduit more SISi than four miles in length , and twenty- Si six-feet in diameter , stretching across si the northern end of the city large \ > enough as you may well suppose for the IK IKC most stupendous future that may be predicted C. 1st dicted for the capital. IsA It is announced that Mr. Cox. Chairman II 1st man of the House Committee on Naval I' Affairs , has already matured a bill look Hi ing to the rehabilitation of the American IsSt St can navy by the immediate construction StM . of twelve line of battle ships , as a commencement JcO. O. mencement , to we followed yearly by the O.Is addition of smaller but equally effective IsQ" vessels. France with not a dollar of sur laiF. plus in the treasury , is building fourteen F.AV first-class war-vessels of the III most pow IIIL. erful description , with eight iron-clads lo exclusively for coast defense , while Eng Is land in addition to her already power ful fleet is building seven large war-ves B sels , and five iron-clad cruisers. The fi' ' twelve ships that Mr. Cox's bill provides of for , are to be each equal in strength and tli armature to that of the French ships , tii wliich of course will be of the best fight or ing power. With the French ships com ai pleted , England will no longer hold her \ \ position of superiority on the seas either tli ; in er in the number or strength of her mar * itime" armament , though in the matter of iron-clads she will long remain at the D I k head. Germany will be the third in point ' of naval strength. Italy with her Auicr- j ican built vessels will be fourth , Russia : fifth and Austria sixth. Russia is now ' ; building three battle-ships and three iron-clad cruisers. Germany is nearly ready to launch a powerful iron-clad cruiser and two iron-clad - gun-boats. Austria one battle-ship of six thousand tons burthen. Denmark one iron-clad for coast defense , and the United States four steel cruisers besides the "Mian- tanomah" and the "Monadnock , " the former of which has been the subject of a good deal of sporting criticism , and the latter humorously alluded to as the second edition of Noah's Ark. It would be indeed a cruel disappoint ment if it were discovered that the rel ics of Gen. Washington and other nota bles of a by-gone period , which had been so long on exhibition at the Patent Office , were not genuine at all. But the recent developments relative to the fraudulent character of Santa Anna's uniform , a dirty , tan-colored suit that the Mexican hero would have abhorred , has shaken our faith in the traditionary character of all these supposed relics. Washing ton's deer-skin breeches which he is said to have worn upon his surveying expe ditions when a young .man , show him either to have been a man of most awk ward make-up , or as having exceeding ly poor taste in his choice of a tailor. For the credit of Washington and LaFayette - Fayette , and the rest of them , we think it would be well enough to consider the entire outfit of relics as entirely bogus , and gotten up merely to nurse our pa triotism. , DOM PEDRO. THAT is a verv interesting fable that is going the rounds of the press , to the effect that one , a resident of the Celes tial Kingdom by the name Han-qua , is possessed of $1,400,000,000 of this world's goods.
