WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington , D. C. } Dec. 20. 'S4.
An addition to the hrnnxu mon
strosities with wliich Washington al
ready abounds , is to be unveiled in
the presence of the public dignitaries
at the Capital , next Saturday. It is
the fiijuro of Admiral Dupont the he
ro of Port Hoyal , but it bears a more
striking resemblance to Kobinson
Crusoe i'i his best stniro of despair.
The Admiral was a fine looking man ,
and an officer of such consummate
courage and thorough ability as to
jump from a captaincy to the Admir
alty at one bound. Therefore his
memory deserves something better
than this amateur botch-work. I have
been for years pegging away at Con
gress and protesting against this
squandering of the people's money
upon the-inartistic abortions in the
similitude of statues that one meets
at every street intersection. They
have cost the Government all the way
from ten thousand dollars to one hun
dred and ten thousand each , and after
all are nothing but a public eye-sore.
They are derided by foreigners , de
tested by ourselves , and must defy
the merciless criticism of the spirits of
those whom they are intended to com-
nifmorate if said spirits do conde
scend to rfvisit the Capital.
The invasion of Washington by the
expectant office-holders has already
commenced , even after Mr. Cleveland
has taken twenty thousand of them
by the hand at Albany. The hotels
are already more than full , and all the
morning and evening trains bring its
additional population to make up the
half million people who will be hereon
the of February
on twenty-second day
ry to stay until the inauguration and
as much longer as they can. Fifty
representative citizens of Washing
ton , without regard to party affiliations
have been selected as a committee to
get up an appropriate as well as an
elaborate programme of ceremonies
for Mr. Cleveland's inauguration.
Apropos of the 20 pair of boots
that a Wytheville , Va. , cobbler pro-
po'jed to present to the President-
eh-ct , but which the latter insisted
upon paying for , reminds me of the
fact that Mr. Perry Davis the origina
tor of the celebrated "Pain Killer , "
made and presented to Andrew Jack
son the pair of boots that the Gener
al stood in when he was inaugurated
on the fourth of March , 1829. D.ivis
studied out his formula for the Pain
Killer while at the cordwainer's bench
in Fall River , Mass. , and from it left
a fortune equal to the deserts of a
patent medicine man. In this case of
boot presentation , the thought never
entered Davis' head that Jackson
would give him an office , nor did Jack
son entertain the least idea of giving
him one , and he did'nt. However , in
these more degenerate days it were
better that Mr. Cleveland should pay
for his boots just as every man does ,
only he should insist upon not being
particularly marked for a victim of
extortion.
The outlook for the conviction of
General Swaim is not so encouraging
as it ought to be. 1 should think that
nn ordinary court martial would hard
ly need any stronger proof of guilt
than the miserable pettyfogging that
has characterized the defence from the
outset. When Swaim was first brought
face to face with these charges , he de
clined the interference of a military
commission to investigate them , and
when that commissioi was ordered by
the Secretary of War and found a
liasis for the charges , he resisted the *
court martial that the President was
compelled to order to try him , and
lipr" he has interposed every possible
Dbstacle in the shape of demurrers ,
rebuttals , surrebuttals , and what not.
until his counsel have succeeded in
[ retting the court into confusion worse
confounded. Swaim , however , should
be hustled out of the army anyhow , on
general principles. DOM PEDUO.
SOJIE men have tact. Said the
bridegroom who didn't wish to either
affend his bride or die of internal dis
turbance : "My dear , this bread looks
: lelicious , but it is the first you have
jver made. I cannot think of eating
it , but will preserve it to show to our
children in after years as a sample of
Lheir mother's skill and deftness.-
IF a man really wants to ascertain
if how little importance he ( the
Joughty lord of creation ) is , let him
iccompany his wife to the dressma
kers , about this season of the year.
ONE of our western journalists re-
narks concerning our health giving
lir , in its relation to man : "It kisses
md blesses him , but will not obey
rim. " Dobbs says the description
mswers to his better half exactly
